7.07: Consider Site Plan for Water Treatment Plant (Project No. 22-104); Case of City of Ramsey Planning Manager Larson reviewed the staff report and recommendation from the Planning Commission to adopt Resolution #22-166 approving the site plan contingent upon compliance with Staff's review comments. Councilmember Specht asked if they were just looking at the site plan, not any of the drawings or renderings. Planning Manager Larson said that they are looking at it from a few different angles, from a property owner's view and the fender's view. Councilmember Specht said he desires that this building be made as simple as possible and this is just a building to treat water. City Administrator Hagen added that the Public Works Committee has looked at this more than the Council, weighed in on some of the costs associated with the building's appearance, and have found that the project costs are mainly due to the pumps and piping that is needed. He added that Public Works sees this building as quite functional with not a lot of added amenities and aesthetics. He said that Ramsey Staff is reviewing the full specs of the plan, which will be done in a week or two, and they will have a cost estimate at that point that will be brought forward to Council in September. Motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Howell, to adopt Resolution #22-166 approving the Site Plan contingent upon compliance with Staff s review comments Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor Riley, Councilmembers Woestehoff, Howell, and Specht. Voting No: None. 8.
