If the Planning Commission is not comfortable <br />with the amendment, it should recommend to the City Council to modify the Draft 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan update before submittal to the Metropolitan Council. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />Leslie Clark, 15150 Kangaroo Street, stated that this has been a long process and she has been <br />regularly active throughout the process. She commented that this seems to be the best compromise <br />thus far, although she would have preferred the entire site remain low density. She asked that the <br />developer be held to the larger lots abutting the neighboring properties as shown in the proposal. <br /> <br />William Kingston, 15760 Andre St NW, stated that he served on the Committee for the draft 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan. He commented that the plan is not yet approved, and he would be surprised <br />to see changes made to that plan. He stated that he is very concerned with the intersection of <br />Armstrong and Alpine and there would be a large increase in density and traffic, not only from <br />this proposed development but also Riverstone once completed and the parcel adjacent this parcel. <br />He stated that his other concern would be the upcoming improvements for Highway 10, Ramsey <br /> <br />Planning Commission/ December 5, 2019 <br />Page 3 of 9 <br /> <br />
