I ~ went to the 1 in 10 standard for th€ remainder of the undeveloped land outside the MUSA boundary, Ramsey's overall density would decrease to 1 in 3.6. If Ramsey remained with it's present 1 in 2.5 acres standard, the overall density would be 1 in 2.76 acres. By going with the 1 in 10 acres, Ramsey wouldgain less than one acre in density standards. Mr. Jazedewski - 15231 Salish - Requested that his area not be included in the MUSA boundary as it is bounded on 3 sides by one acre developments and an urban development in the midst of one acre developments is not appropriate. Inquired if developer request is the only criteria used in determining a MUSA boundary needs expanding. Mr. Otto replied that if a developer has a proposal to develop a parcel in the urban area and if it is fairly contiguous to the existing MUSA area, it makes good planning sense to allow the developer to develop with urban type development rather than rural type and then go back years later and resubdivide the lots to urban size. . Dorothy Stadfelt - 15112 Juniper Ridge Drive - Stated that property owners in the rural type developments will experience property devaluation if the City allows urban development to occur adjacent to them because. the rural developments do not have municipal sewer and water. Municipal sewer and water should be limited to the commercial areas where it would really benefit Ramsey's tax revenue. Mr. Jim Martin - Requested that maps be amended to remove the park designation from his property. Jack Miller - Stated that he and his partners purchased the property that is now known as Rum Acres Estates and Outlot B as an investment. In 1971, part of the property was developed into Rum Acres Estates and it was understood by all that Outlot B would be held for development until such time as municipal sewer and water would be available to it. Originally, Outlot B was in the MUSA; the City amended the MUSA boundary and Outlot B was excluded but it was not a hardship because the developers were not ready to develop; now the developers are ready to follow through with their intention t6 develop with city sewer and water and the people are trying to stop the developers from developing land that they have held and paid taxes on for 20 years. The City's plan to put Outlot B back into the MUSA boundary is fair. The people who bought lots in Rum Acres were knowledgeable that they were potentially in the Urbanarea and that they would be eligible to resubdivide their lots if there ever was sewer and water extended to their ne ig hborhood. Mr. Jazedewski - Stated that he was involved in the sale of the lots in Rum Acre Estates and there was no mention of the fact that people should build on one side of the lot or the other in order to be able to resubdivide if sewer and water came to the area. Dorothy Stadfelt - Stated that her lot is not resubdividable and if sewer and water came to the neighborhood, the cost would consume all of her equity in her home. When Rum Acres was being marketed, people were told that Outlot B would be a park and natural gas would be installed within one year. Eventually, residents of Rum Acres had to initiate action to get natural gas; Jack Miller contributed but Outlot B will also benefit. Sue Damyanovich - 15130 Juniper Ridge Drive - Stated that Mr. Miller's platting of Outlot B into urban size lots was premature because it will first take a Comprehensive Plan amendment Planning & Zoning Commission Public Hearing/January J, 1989 Page 2 of J
