Eric Ness, 15390 Ute Street NW, Ramsey, stated that he moved to Ramsey this summer and was <br />told that Ute Street would not be a through street. He requested that the Council stick with the <br />Planning Commission's decision to remove the Ute Street connection so that they can maintain <br />their existing neighborhood. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if Mr. Ness felt that there should be some transitioning <br />between his lot and the new lots. <br /> <br />Mr. Ness replied that he is only trying to make the best ora situation they did not know existed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if Mr. Ness felt that transition should be provided to <br />residents at $1.00 per square foot. <br /> <br />Mr. Ness replied no. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if Mr. Ness felt that the transitioning should be provided <br />for free. <br /> <br />Mr. Ness replied that he was not sure. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler replied that he has been following the changes made <br />to the development and when he sees a plan with all cul-de-sacs to the north he gets quite <br />concerned. He stated that as the City tries to please the residents they lose track of the "what if" <br />circumstances. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that he wanted to comment on the issue of due process that was <br />commented on by a resident. He explained that he had reviewed the public hearing notice that <br />was sent out to the residents, which included an attachment of the original proposal, option C. <br />As a result of the public hearing, a different option was selected and that is a common place thing <br />that plans change, but on the other hand, it may be unfortunate that a plat was sent out with the <br />public hearing notice because some residents could have assumed that that would have been the <br />actual version of what was adopted. He stated that the Council might want to consider another <br />public hearing noting in the public hearing notice that the plat might change. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that he would agree with holding an additional public <br />hearing. He noted that he was somewhat dismayed that they did not include a park for the <br />number of homes being proposed in the development. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that development of the property has been discussed numerous times and <br />some day a decision needs to be made. He inquired if there was a real legal concern to conduct <br />another public hearing. <br /> <br />City Council/August 28, 2001 <br /> Page 13 of 36 <br /> <br /> <br />
