Chairperson Nixt noted that whiie this is not a public hearing, he would take brief comments <br />from the audience. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer reiterated that the extension of the MUSA line has to happen first, <br />therefore people have another chance to speak to the City Council about extension of the MUSA <br />and this development. <br /> <br />Del Fredricks, 7550 158th stated that concerning MUSA, if it were extended, he asked if <br />everyone affected would get notice of the change. He indicated that when Staff followed the 300 <br />foot rule for this development, he did not receive a notice. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon advised that there will be several notices going out <br />about the MUSA proposal. He stated the first meeting will be in January for nearby homes, and a <br />larger area notice on the Comprehensive Plan process will be held in February, with notices sent <br />to all individual homes. He indicated the tentative date for the Comprehensive Plan meeting is <br />February 24th, <br /> <br />Bud Augst, 15700 Traprock, asked if the City Council would consider not opening up Traprock. <br />He stated this development proposal already has three entrances onto Variolite, and he is <br />wondering if Traprock could remain a cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated the City Council and Planning Commission just held a joint meeting, <br />and one thing they talked about was a road plan to meet the needs of the city for the next ten to <br />fifteen years. He stated he believes this development would be overlayed in that review. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik noted that City Code requires connectivity <br />between neighborhoods, and the supporting documents for Traprock Commons says the road will <br />be extended to the north. <br /> <br />Community Development DirectOr Trudgeon added there will be a traffic generation study <br />completed before the parcel is platted so the neighborhood will know where the traffic is <br />expected to go. <br /> <br />Mr. Augst stated that right now there are only a handful of residents on Traprock by the Gun <br />Club, and this development is proposing 165 new homes that will drive by them. He indicated <br />he is very concerned about traffic. <br /> <br />Mel Stienke, Traprock, indicated he is concerned about all the building being done in Ramsey <br />and the size of developments that are being allowed. He stated if you look at the services <br />Ramsey has, such as limited schools, there needs to be a plan to improve the services before the <br />City allows all these developers to' come into the city. He indicated Ramsey has one elementary <br />school, and one church. He stated there is no road system, only Highway 10, and asked how the <br />City will handle the need for more services. <br /> <br />Planning CommissiOn/January 6, 2005 <br /> Page 4: of 21 <br /> <br /> <br />
