Jill Sonsteby, 14485 Waco Street NW, Ramsey, questioned if it was the appropriate time to <br />address low income housing. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec answered no, that no action in regards to low income housing was taking place. <br /> <br />Ms. Sonsteby questioned if the project was associated with the Sunwood Drive Extension. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec responded that the projects are not related. <br /> <br />Ms. Sonsteby questioned at what point would it be appropriate to bring concerns to the Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated during citizen input, and also suggested putting a letter together and <br />submitting it to the City. <br /> <br />Patrick Gruber, 14841 Waco Street NW, Ramsey, questioned the purpose of the extension of <br />Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec explained that the extension has been documented since 1975, and the main <br />reason for the extension is due to poor east/west access in the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Gruber asked if there is a lot of traffic currently on the road. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that Sunwood Drive is currently a dead-end road. <br /> <br />Mr. Gruber stated that the City does not need anymore access or lights on T.H./447. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated there is a need to minimize access on T.H. #47, but also to <br />allow for more east/west access. He also stated he is willing to meet with Mr. Rupert to discuss <br />the extension of Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Mr. Gruber explained that when he built his home in 1993, he asked the City if there were any <br />plans for the expansion of T.H./447 and he was told no. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that T.H. #47 is a State road and that they had no proposed <br />plans for the expansion. The improvements are only taking place due to the push from Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec reviewed a letter from Alena Hunter, 14628 Helium Street NW, Ramsey, in favor <br />of the extension of Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he was in support of extending Sunwood Drive, <br />explaining that he was involved in the discussions as a Planning Commissioner and feels there is <br />an obligation to the residents to install the road, but noted that his support does not include any <br />details of work and the actual installation of the road. <br /> <br />City Council/August 10, 1999 <br /> Page 9 of 16 <br /> <br /> <br />
