The Council previously introduced the Ordinance at its meeting on June 9, 2020. Councilmember Heinrich asked for clarification on the feedback from the Council to the developer at the last meeting and what has evolved. Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that the area to the east was a primary focus with a desire for 80-foot lots and a 30-foot landscaped buffer. He noted that the Council also desired to require 80 foot lots on the south side, which is the direction that staff followed. Mayor LeTourneau stated that originally there was concern from the residents to the east and the bulk of the work that was done was to find a solution involving transitioning buffering that will allow for the existing residents to be pleased with the planning effort. Motion by Councilmember Heinrich, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to waive the City Charter requirement to read the Ordinance aloud and adopt Ordinance #20-06 Amending Section 117-90 "Map" of Chapter 117 of the City Code of Ramsey, Minnesota. A roll call vote was performed: City Council / June 23, 2020 Page 9 of 21
