Commissioner Reeve stated that it seemed premature for the Commission to be discussing the <br />issue at this point. <br /> <br />A1 Farms, 6360 Riverdale Drive, Ramsey, stated that his home is located across from the <br />proposed development. He stated that he is one hundred percent in favor of the residential <br />development. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt inquired if Mr. Farms was in favor of the development because it would be an <br />improvement to the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Farms replied yes. <br /> <br />John Freeberg, Riverdale Drive, Ramsey, stated that he lives across from the proposed <br />development and felt that the development would be a good use of the property. The alternatives <br />for the property are not that exciting for the neighborhood. This would be the best use for the <br />land and would provide a buffer between his property and the Amoco. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt noted that letters were received from Grosslein Beverage, Inc., and Electric <br />Systems of Anoka, Inc. opposing the residential development. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Reeve, to close the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion Carried.

He stated that <br />did not think it would be good location for kids to be playing because there is a lot of traffic in <br />the area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson replied that there are already houses across the street. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt inquired if there would be time for the developer to work with staff and the <br />DNR and then bring the issue back for consideration by the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Bulow replied yes. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/July 12, 2001 <br /> Page 20 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
