5) Paragraph VIII of Section 170.015I of the City Code in Regards to Ordinance Change as Pertaining to House Size Councilman Cox commented that Mr. Carson gave a good presentation on smaller type housing sizes. Discussion was held on the Planning E Zoning Commission's recommended sizes and the E.D.C.'s recommended sizes. Councilman Cox said he thought 672 sq. ft. for two -story homes is not realistic. o Mr. Carson said not many two -story homes are being built in Ramsey Mayor Gamec asked about using what Ramsey sizes are now and just eliminating the garage requirement. Mr. Carson said the house sizes needed to be reduced to bring them down to a cost low enough. Councilman Nickelson said he could see a rambler smaller than 960 sq. ft. for someone who is going to build a two - bedroom rambler. Councilman Sorteberg suggested adding a smaller -type rambler with garage. Ron pest said the older clientele will buy the smaller -type rambler, but not the first -home buyer. Mr. Carson said they were going to start taking applications shortly. Motion by Councilman Cox and seconded by Councilman Mickelson to approve changing the present house size requirements in Paragraph VIII of Section 170.015I of the City Code to 960 sq. ft. for Ramblers, 912 sq. ft. for Splits and 720 sq. ft. for Two -Story Homes, all with no garages, and 768 sq. ft. for a Rambler with a minimum of 440 sq. ft. garage.
