He stated he knows some cities are getting rid of them because they are bad news, and fire <br />hazards, and Ramsey is doing no favors to the residents by allowing a long cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />John Monson, 5900 157th Lane, stated the way it looks, the decks on these houses would be on <br />the tree line, and would give absolutely no privacy for the homes to the north. He added that if <br />the gazebo is going to be built that the trail is extended on the other side so they can get kids to <br />the park, as Mr. Wyshalt is correct that there is nowhere for kids to play. <br /> <br />Mike GaMn, 15752 Osmium Street, indicated his concern is having a visual buffer. He stated he <br />mentioned it at the City Council meeting, but does not see any modification to the plan.

He asked how the drainage would be handled, and if it would drain onto his land. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated that where he stands on this development has not changed. He indicated <br />only fbur units have been removed, and a private road is being shown that does not meet Staff's <br />recommendation.
