' density; the proposed development does meet density requirements. ' Mr. Richey inquired if it would be agreeable to this Council to allow high density next to single family in other sections of Ramsey and then allow a variance so the high density can get even closer to the single family area. ' Mr. Goodrich pointed out that density is not the issue; the area is already zone for 5 -15 units /acre. Ransey's Council cannot deny the request based on ' the high density; Council can consider the placement of the building in relation to the setback and take into consideration that it is high density, but not too high for the property. Ruth Olson - 381 Coolidge - Stated that she already has drainage problem from Hwy. 47 run -off that follows a drainage easement through her property. If the development causes more drainage, her back yard will flood. Inquired what the developers will do with incline and trees at the rear of her property. Stated that since the recent land clearing in that area, she has had two robberies; people are using her property as if it were public property; what kind of buffer will be provided. Dennis Miller - Architect for M & S Development - Stated that due to.certain INR requirements on the site, the developer is requesting that the setback be changed to 20'. With respect to drainage between the development and adjoining single family residents, there will be a swail for drainage down to a holding pond to the southeast corner of the site. The majority of trees in the southeast corner will be removed to comply with INR drainage requirements. The developer proposes to run a row of trees along the border between the development and single family dwellings where there are gaps created by existing trees being removed or where there were no trees in the first place. The new trees would be 6' -8' in height; evergreens take longer to develop and deciduous trees grow faster but you have more exposure in the winter months. Mr. Miller stated that people should also be aware that due to Minnesota Highway Department requests, there will be an additional 4' of pavement on the east side of the road.
