He referenced the significant number of comments from <br />staff and asked if the applicant agreed with those comments. <br />Mr. Kuker commented that he believes that his team has addressed most of those comments and <br />agreed that some of those things were good ideas that they have incorporated into the plan. He <br />commented that staff has been great to work with on this project. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked for details on snow storage. <br />Mr. Kuker replied that the snow would be trucked off site, which will be the same for the entire <br />COR area eventually. <br />Commissioner Heineman commented that he appreciates the retail space in the building. He also <br />understood that Ramsey needs to grow, and this will allow more units for residents while allowing <br />the rural part of Ransey to remain rural. He stated that if the intention is to attract young <br />professionals, the retail space needs to cater to that demographic. <br />Mr. Kuker commented that he will have control over the businesses that lease those spaces and <br />therefore will pick things that are attractive to the building and area. <br />Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner Heineman, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />Motion Carried.
