Citizen Input <br /> <br />Steve Upton, 16101 Ramsey Boulevard NW, Ramsey, stated that they have lived in Ramsey for <br />ten years. He explained that in that ten years they have done significant improvements to the <br />property. He noted that their property is 2.5 acres in size and is next to properties of comparable <br />size. <br /> <br />Pam Upton, 16101 Ramsey Boulevard NW, Ramsey, presented the Commission with signatures <br />of six of their neighbors, directly adjacent to them, all stating that they do not oppose the request <br />for the second dwelling. She explained that her mother had a stroke in August and heart attacks <br />in September and in October and has a difficult time getting around. The main house has three <br />bedrooms all on the upper level and she is unable to go up the stairs. The guest cottage would be <br />a way to keep her comfortable while she is visiting. <br /> <br />Mr. Upton noted that the property across the street has a comparable guest structure already <br />existing. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt inquired if the property that is across the street from the Uptons has a <br />conditional use permit for their second dwelling. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik replied that she thought that situation was a pre- <br />existing situation. <br /> <br />Mrs. Upton explained that the building is currently left vacant and is already sheetrocked, heated, <br />has a telephone, and air conditioning. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kociscak inquired if Mrs. Upton's mother is ambulatory. <br /> <br />Mrs. Upton replied that her mother is walking, but not real steady. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Kociscak, to close the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion Carried.
