Councilmember Kuzma asked for input on the implications on the use of County HRA funds as <br />the grant award was not received. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill noted that the City would not take action on the <br />County HRA funds as the grant was not awarded. He stated that there would be no public <br />contribution and the applicant would need to seek additional funding or fund the clean-up on <br />their own. <br />Councilmember Riley asked for input on the holding pond location. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill noted that the storm water pond size would be <br />sufficient and meets the storm water requirement standards. <br />Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to Adopt <br />Resolution #19-098 Approving the Preliminary Plat for River Walk Village and Approving a <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Reguide the Subject Property from Low Density Residential <br />and Business Park to Medium Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update and <br />to introduce Ordinance #19-10 amending Section 117-90 "Map" of Chapter 117 of the City Code <br />of Ramsey, Minnesota, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review letter. <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Heinrich stated that she drove down that area and noticed <br />the residential development on one side and the commercial/industrial development on the other <br />side. She feels confident that this development could work and is a better fit over industrial <br />development. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor LeTourneau, Councilmembers Kuzma, Musgrove, <br />Heinrich, and Riley. Voting No: None. <br />7.03: Concept Plan Submittal to Metropolitan Council — Public Realm Improvements in <br />The COR <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood reviewed the staff report and <br />recommendation to submit a concept plan to progress towards a LCDA funded grant. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that this sounds like a win win situation, as this will provide visions <br />for The COR and could provide money for that. <br />Councilmember Musgrove referenced the timeline for the comments on the concepts and asked <br />for additional input. <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood confirmed that there would be a <br />completed project application for the Council review on July 23. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that this is an interesting twist that could help more developers <br />want to be involved in Ramsey. <br />City Council / June 25, 2019 <br />Page 9 of 10 <br />
