public open house held by the Planning Commission, which was attended by about 10 residents. <br /> He noted that all, but one attendee, were generally supportive of the project concept, specifically <br /> concept Layout C. He noted that the other resident was opposed to the project in general, <br /> regardless of the layout. He noted that moving forward, this project concept layout will be <br /> reviewed again by the Planning Commission formally in March for additional comments. <br /> David Patberg, Centra Homes, stated that they are a local homebuilder and are excited to be <br /> looking at opportunities in Ramsey. He stated that his company approached staff a few months <br /> ago to determine the available land. He noted that they would like to remain consistent with the <br /> existing development in this area in terms of matching the streetscaping and therefore would like <br /> to do a detached, narrow lot, rear-loaded home product. <br /> Mayor Strommen asked if this is a new product. <br /> Mr. Patberg stated that this would be a new product which would be a 20-foot wide home. He <br /> stated that they regularly build 26-foot wide homes but have not yet done any this narrow. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked the anticipated price point for the homes. <br /> Mr. Patberg replied that he would anticipate a range from the low $200,000's to the upper <br /> $200,000's, once the options are selected. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that the EDA likes this project as it fits the area and matches the <br /> surrounding development. He noted that three different layouts were provided by the applicant <br /> and the EDA selected this layout with the doors facing outward. He stated that the EDA was <br /> supportive of the project but suggested making a counteroffer. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma recommended entering closed session. <br /> Asst. City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama stated that staff did provide a <br /> closed session memo and the result of the counteroffer that staff made to the developer. <br /> RECESS AND RECONVENE <br /> Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to recess the meeting to <br /> Closed Session at 7:33 p.m. <br /> Motion carried.
