Rhonda Dammer, 5380 141st Avenue NW, Ramsey, stated that the turn lane onto Dysprosium <br />will not work and will drive residents up Barium Street through the existing neighborhoods for <br />easier access onto Dysprosium. She also requested that the Park Dedication that will be received <br />from the development be used to construct a trail between Barium Street and Dysprosium. <br /> <br />Rosemary Sare, 14107 Barium Street, Ramsey, stated that extending Barium Street increases the <br />potential for accidents because most of the driveways are sloped and would not have good <br />visibility. She stated that she is opposed to Barium Street being extended. <br /> <br />Amy Erickson, 14101 Dysprosium Street, Ramsey, inquired if the 200 foot stacking room would <br />be before the intersection of C.R. #116 and Dysprosium is improved or after. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that the 200 feet of stacking would be after the improvements <br />are completed. <br /> <br />Ms. Erickson stated that there is a very low water table in the area and questioned the impact the <br />new development will have on the drainage in the area. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that the grading plan shows that backyards of the proposed <br />townhomes will drain from back to front. <br /> <br />Ms. Erickson inquired if there has been any more discussions as to how the City can slow traffic <br />down on Dysprosium. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that the issue will be discussed with the Public Works <br />Committee and that their goal is to make the entire street more pedestrian friendly. <br /> <br />Ms. Ellingson noted that they have had water problems also. She also inquired if there has been <br />any discussions regarding the speed humps. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that he will be discussing the MSA system with the Public <br />Works Committee, but noted that the City received a letter from Mn Dot stating that speed <br />bumps are not appropriate on MSA streets. He explained that the City needs to look at a plan to <br />make the entire street more pedestrian friendly, but that it will take several elements. <br /> <br />Ms. Ellingson inquired if Mr. Bulow plans to build an apartment complex and then sell it, how <br />will the resident be assured that the apartments will not become a Iow income complex. <br /> <br />Chairperson Anderson inquired if the residents were inferring that the water table problem might <br />be increased because of the proposed development. <br /> <br />Ms. Ellingson replied that it is their concern because Dysprosium Street floods easy. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/March 20, 2000 <br /> Page 4 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
