don't know if that can be changed by possibly making deeper lots or have a setback with a bike <br />trail. <br /> <br />Greg Page, 15350 Ute Street, Ramsey, stated that he did not move onto a 2.5 acre lot to have all <br />the houses behind them. They have five houses on the stretch of street to 153rd. Now they are <br />talking about 140 cars coming through their neighborhood which is not acceptable. The <br />neighbors to the north have received an opportunity to purchase a buffer area, but they have not <br />been given any opportunity to do the same. He stated that a bike path would be acceptable as a <br />buffer, but he may be interested in purchasing a buffer area behind him. <br /> <br />Kerry Manuel, 15668 Juniper Ridge, Ramsey, stated that as part of the original Reilley Estates <br />development, the property was suppose to be completed with a one acre lot development. The <br />property owners from Reilley Estates met with the builder and have negotiated with Centex as <br />best they could. The issue over the property went to court and it was court ordered that density <br />transitioning not be enforced in the area, so they as homeowners have agreed to purchase a buffer <br />strip. It was a plan the residents came up with and the developer agreed to. There is nothing that <br />will make everyone happy, but the buffer is something they can live with. Would like to see one <br />of the streets going into the neighborhood be turned into a cul-de-sac, but other than that it is a <br />plan they can live with. <br /> <br />John Hatch, 155th Lane, Ramsey, stated that he has lived in Ramsey since 1975 and built his <br />home in 1978. With the proposed development they are talking about 410 new cars down his <br />street. Also the City recently began charging for storm water runoff and the area being <br />developed is higher than their development, so where is all the water going to drain to. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated that the plan that Centex homes has provided includes storm sewer on <br />all the streets which will drain to the pond in the center of the development. From the pond there <br />will be an outlet to the Rum River. The streets will all be completed with concrete curb and <br />gutter so the runoff will be caught by the storm sewer system. <br /> <br />Mark Barrett, stated that the sidewalk terminates at the end of the development as well as the <br />storm system. The slope is down 155'h Lane at the property line, which is another reason for not <br />placing the stub through at 155t~, Lane. He currently has a collecting area in the back of his <br />property and in the winter or heavy spring rains the pond gets extremely high. If the street is <br />going to be put through he wants an assurance from the developer that if his pond does flood they <br />will pump it out. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson replied that Centex has done a very good job making sure that they direct <br />storm water to the internal pond. They will have to go through a watershed organization and will <br />be required to house up to a 100 year event with an outlet to the Rum River. <br /> <br />Len Brenny, stated that he owns two properties east of Bear Park. He stated that the City <br />required Bear Park to be constructed as part of the Stan_hope River Hills development and <br />inquired if Centex Homes would now be receiving credit for the park that Stanhope dedicated. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/July 12, 2001 <br /> Page 14 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
