Larry Mooney, 17211 Tiger Street indicated that again with these houses being added there will <br />be lots of traffic. He stated this is a huge amount of additional traffic they are proposing to dump <br />onto Tiger Street. He indicated there are a lot of kids in this neighborhood. <br /> <br />Ginger Millner, 16841 Wolverine Court, stated sh.e assumes the septic system is a common <br />system because the City found when they allowed one acre lots the systems were too close <br />together. She indicated the area for the septic system seems like such a small area for all those <br />houses. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated the size of the septic system is dependent on the permeability of <br />the soil. He indicated he is not sure if all 0fthe area will be needed. <br /> <br />Ms. Millner asked if the need for adequate space for a septic system and a back-up location was <br />not how the City determined that two and one-half acres is what the lot size should be, <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski indicated the two factors are not tied together. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van S coy asked if there is an alternative area for the septic system if it should fail. <br /> <br />Mr. Sletner stated the area is 55,000 square feet. He indicated that'using a calculation of 600 <br />square feet per home the area is big enough for 90 homes, or about three times the area needed. <br /> <br />Vice Chairperson Johnson asked if it is being designed so a back-up area would be available. <br /> <br />Mr. Sletner stated the system is being put on one side, with the infrastructure in the middle so it <br />can be flip flopped. <br /> <br />Ms. Finkfiner asked what the septic system would look like. <br /> <br />Mr. Sletner stated it will look exactly like the system at her home. He indicated ifa lift station is <br />needed at her home, it will be needed here. He stated he is assuming the area will look mostly <br />like a yard. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer asked who will maintain the septic area. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Geisler stated it will be maintained as an outlot. She indicated when Staff <br />does the landscaping review for the development they can review this area also. <br /> <br />Ms. Finkfiner stated she knows many people are concerned about safety here. She indicated that <br />she knows other cities have put in big developments without consulting the police, fire, schools, <br />etc. to get their support for the amount of housing going in. She encouraged Ramsey not to make <br />that same mistake. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/June 2, 2005 <br /> Page 9 of 22 <br /> <br />'29' <br /> <br /> <br />
