Ramsey, <br />Minnesota 55303 <br /> <br />M~mbe rs Present: <br /> <br />Chairman Ken Peterson <br />Ben Deemer <br />John Hubbard <br />Ron West <br />Gerald Zimmerman <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />Dexter Marston, <br /> Planning Consultant <br /> <br />Chairman Peterson called the Workshop to order at 6:58 P.M. <br /> <br />Chairman Peterson qustioned that if the fitures for Housing, under Item No. I, <br />Existing Condition% were so far off on multiple housing, how accurate are the <br />other figures that are listed. <br /> <br />Mr. Marston said there is no way of checking the accuracy of the figures other <br />than going out and taking a count themselves. He noted that his response to <br />Existing Conditions states that we do not accept the information given on <br />multi-family housing units. <br /> <br />The Commission expressed concern as to what these figures, are used for. <br /> <br />Mr. Marston ~tated that he feels the figures are relatively close in accuracy <br />and that in terms of the planning process they are not that important, that <br />the planning process anticipates future growth and plans for utilities etc., <br />for that future growth. He agreed that the figures are important for things <br />like State Aids but not so important for planning processes. <br /> <br />Ben Deemer feels that errors in these figures on people per unit have a domino <br />effect and somewhere down the line he anticipates this information may be shoved <br />do~] the City's throat. <br /> <br />Chairman Peterson questioned if the 1980 census would clear up some of this <br />discrepancy. <br /> <br />Mr. Marston replied that it would, however, it may hot be available until 1982. <br /> <br />Ron West questioned what the Metro Council's feeling is on ha~ng multi-family <br />dwelling units where there is no public sewer. <br /> <br />Mr. Marston replied that they are not in favor of it,~that there is a difference <br />between what the City has now and what it shoUld plan to have when sewer is <br />available, or what will be in ten to 20 years from now, they want the City to <br />look at the future. <br /> <br />P & Z WORK sESsION <br />9/18/79 - Page I <br /> <br /> <br />
