-2- <br /> <br />committee satisfactorily relocate the district boundaries found <br />in the fact-finding report..... <br /> <br />That the newly annexed areas be developed to a reasonable degree <br />before the annexation of another area of Ramsey Township can <br />take place: excepting petition according to law.~.. <br /> <br />That no property in an annexed area will be classified urban <br />until that property is provided full city services.... <br /> <br />That a steering committee be appointed by the Ramsey Towmship <br />Taxpayer's 2. ssociation.... <br /> <br />That a steering co~ittee be appointed by the City of Anokao... <br /> <br />That these 'two steering committees work jointly in the future <br />planning of the non-annexed areas of Ramsey Township.... <br /> <br />That these two steering committees shall continue to exist and <br />work jointly until the total area of Ramsey To~ship has been <br />a~e~ed to the City of Anoka .... <br /> <br /> Mr. Husby objected to M~. Scander's statement that we cannot <br />go on as we have been doing. Mr. Scander said petitions have <br />already been submitted to Anoka. If we don't adopt such a proposal <br />as stated above then piece by piece will be annexed into Anoka <br />anyway but we will have nothing to say about what happens to Ramsey <br />Township where the above proposal would give us the opportunity for <br />planned development. Such a proposal would guarantee Anoka that <br />eventually, with proper development, sad time, each section would <br />gradually be annexed. Mr. Sorteberg asked whether this proposal <br />idea had been checked out with an attorney or the City of Anoka. <br />It was stated that Ramsey is going to go anyway so let's put it on <br />our own terms. The Metropolitan Planning Commission wants to <br />contro]~ all suburban areas it was stated. <br /> <br /> It was stated that Ramsey Township residents are going to be <br />forced into an annexation vote no matter what happens here. <br /> <br /> Mr. Nusby asked about polling the areas before we make this <br />cormmittment? He said the people he had talked to around the town- <br />ship were definitely against annexation. Mr. Scarborough said he <br />thought our position would be stronger if we did not do this. <br /> <br /> it was stated there was no question but what there will be <br />piecemeal annexation if the proposed committment is not agreed to. <br />Then Ramsey Township will keep getting smaller and smaller sad we <br />will have less and less to say. If Anoka annexes area #l there <br />will be practically no change in the tax rate. It was stated the <br />Ts. xpayers Association is the legal arm of the Town Board. If this <br />proposal is satisfactory to those present then it will be taken <br />to the City of Anoka. Mr. Scarborough stated that he thought <br />~.noka would accept the proposal and that they would live up to it. <br /> <br /> We were then reminded that the City of Anoka had agreed to <br />cover the garbage at the city dump each day and that there would <br /> <br /> <br />
