Councilmember Riley stated that he is absolutely interested in working with the developer and <br /> looking at different options for density transition. He stated that they are probably aware of what <br /> the neighborhood thinks and therefore that should be fairly short. <br /> Mayor Strommen stated that she shares the concerns regarding density transition but also has a <br /> concern that in the past when Ramsey was going through a housing boom and did several <br /> Comprehensive Plan amendments, the Plan became kind of a non-plan. She stated that she is <br /> interested in remaining true to the essence of the plan but also keeping that fluid when necessary. <br /> She stated that she is not interested in reopening the wounds of the community in the constant <br /> changing of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that perhaps through this process it would be helpful to have <br /> comparison drawings of what could occur under the current zoning and what would be proposed. <br /> She stated that helps to remove the fear of the unknown and provides a comparison. <br /> Councilmember Johns stated that she agrees that the public process piece is important to not just <br /> the adjacent neighbors but the community as a whole as this would be a change to the <br /> Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Mayor Strommen stated that it comes down to whether you can rely on what the Comprehensive <br /> Plan says, noting that she has experience with a piece of park land that no longer became park <br /> land. <br /> Additional written comments were received from Stephen Bona, Capstone Homes, Inc. and <br /> Mary and George Tafoya, 15130 Kangaroo Street NW, Ramsey, after the agenda was published. <br /> Those written comments are attached to be a part of the permanent record for this case.\ <br /> The consensus of the Council was to continue the discussions and to include a public process. <br /> 3.
