system, but they have additional questions and Shade Tree will continue to work with <br />Staff. <br /> <br />Ken Thomas, 17655 Argon, stated he lives in the lower section of the adjoining <br />development. He indicated they have 25 homes that exit on Cobalt Street, and have to go <br />up a hill, make a 90 degree turn, go up another hill, and then hit traffic on Erkium. He <br />stated that if the City puts in another development, they will not be able to get out <br />because of the traffic. He indicated that in winter it is especially difficult. He stated that <br />the people living here came here to get out of the city, and now they are talking about <br />putting in city lots without sewer and water. <br /> <br />Mr. Thomas indicated that there will be an accident on Erkium if this development goes <br />in. He stated it is a very steep, blind hiI1, and school buses and cars have ended up in the <br />front yard at the 90 degree turn because they cannot stop. He indicated that no one wants <br />the cluster developments, and he does not know why the city does not keep it at one acre <br />lots. He stated that only 11 people live on Fluorine Street, and if the City does this those <br />people should go out on Fluorine or have another road come out. He indicated that <br />Erkiam Street should dead-end on 177£h. <br /> <br />Roger Rowbotham, 17715 Erkium, stated that his concerns and those of his neighbors are <br />in the petition presented to the Planning Commission. He indicated that from that the <br />Planning Commission knows they are opposing not only this development, but also the <br />philosophy of cluster developments. He stated they moved to Ramsey because they <br />wanted privacy, and the openness of Ramsey. He indicated that they understand <br />development will happen, but they do not want tiffs kind of development. He stated that <br />this project is looking at platting sixteen homes on four acres, and each of those homes is <br />sharing a common septic, which is a prototype development. He indicated that if this <br />type of system is so great, why is everyone not doing it. He stated he would hope as a <br />community they would really research what they are doing and do it right. He indicated <br />he thinks there is a better way, and urged the Planning Commission to think this through <br />and take it slow. <br /> <br />Tom Adrians stated he would add that he understood there is a Comprehensive Plan <br />amendment in 2008, and suggested that the City really take a look at it during that <br />amendment process. <br /> <br />Dayette O'Brian, 5400 177th Lane NW, indicated that her concerns are with transition <br />between the proposed development and the line of houses that are there. She stated that <br />they have power lines going through their lots, and when they wanted to build their <br />garage, with the power lines and the setbacks they had little choice of where they could <br />build the garage. She indicated that she would question how some of these lots can even <br />have a house with the size of the lot and the setback requirements. <br /> <br />Ms. O'Brian stated her other concern is with traffic. She indicated they have children <br />and pets, and are very concerned about additional traffic. She stated there would need to <br /> <br />32 <br /> <br /> <br />
