I I I I I I I i I now because the drainage problem has been solved by the construction of Cty. Rd. #5, but it would have to be replatted. As far as taxes gained from a T.V. tower compared to those of a single family dwelling is concerned, that is a question that should be asked of City Council. The purpose of the P & Z Commission is to determine the best use of property within the City. Leo Kinebel replied that the citizens should be provided with all information before being asked to make a decision. Mr. Berg replied that a tax comparison has not been investigated. Mr. Darryl 'Fults - Realtor - Stated that the property is owned by Dave Voight of Building Sites, Inc. stated that the property has been on the market for a number of years, but because of the high water table, allowable uses for that property are limited. Commissioner Deemer stated that the property would be taxed on a commercial basis if the conditional use permit is approved. He also affirmed that the property has been on the market for a number of Years and that it can be found in property listings. Leo Kinebel - How can this property be advertised when no building permit can be obtained because the park fee has not been paid? Darryl Fults - The uses for this property are limited because of the high water table and the owner has waited a long time for the right use and offer to come along and the T.V. tower falls into that category because it would not require an on-site septic system. Tom Ihrke - 16620 Ebony St. N.W. - Aren't there any other sites in Ramsey that would as suitable and not so near a residential area? Darryl Fults replied that there is property available further south, but there is interference from the airport and KANO. There must be a straight beam from Anoka's facility to Ramsey's, with no interference. Tom Ihrke - What effect will this T.V. tower have on the value of adjacent property? James Commers - Past experience has not proven that a T.V. tower decreases value of adjacent property. The accessory building will be attractive, there will be a crushed rock driveway and landscaping. Group W does not want to do business at the expense of adjacent property owners. If, for some reason the tower would collapse (580 towers'around the Country and no accidents), it would fall completely on Outlot A itself.i The accessory building will not be used as an office and there will be no employees on a permanent basis, therefore traffic created is at.a minumum. Tom Ihrke - Inquired if Mr. Commers had any documented studies to support his statements. . Mr. Commers replied that he did not, that he didn't know how a study could be performed other than going door to door. and taking a survey of those property owners located adjacent to T.V. towers. Tom Ihrke replied that Mr. Commers is assuming that a T.V. tower would not decrease value of adjacent property. P & Z/December 7, 1982 Public Hearing Page 2 of 5
