He stated this development will bring on external stresses such as <br />noise, it'at'tic and pollution. <br /> <br />Mr. Augst stated the Comprehensive Plan indicated in rural areas, homes are limited to one per <br />every ten acres and Mr. Peterson wants to put in more than that. <br /> <br />Mr. ,lira Couch, 15800 Traprock Street wanted to commend Mr. Peterson because he did have a <br />neighborhood ~neeting. He stated with the removal of the lead, a third of the area will be <br />cxcawtted and with the excavation, there will be airborne particles and he would like to see air <br />and watcr monitoring while doing this. He mentioned the impact the traffic will have on the <br />area.

He thought Mr. Peterson has developed the developments he has <br />done very nice. He stated his issue was the Gun Club area, Sweet Bay Ridge, has some safety <br />issues that are at hand and he thought it was important for Ramsey to take a look at this. At this <br />time, as a registered voter, he was requesting the Planning Commission to not approve the <br />rczoning c)r sketch plan for Sweet Bay Development in its present stage. <br /> <br />Mr. l,cs Webb, 15540 Traprock Street, stated at the meeting last night, the general consensus was <br />they did not want to have Traprock opened; it was not so much against the development. He did <br />r~ot think it was a good idea to open this up to more traffic. He thought this was a safety issue <br />and did not makc sense to open the street up. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/March 3, 2005 <br /> Page 5 of 22 <br /> <br /> <br />
