Staff has outlined <br />recommendations as appropriate. <br /> <br />Jack Menkveld, 1333 Osborne Road, Spring Lake Park - "Property south of 149th <br />[Avenue], west of Ramsey [Boulevard] and north of [County Road] 116 has been <br />proposed to be changed to transition residential. I am generally in agreement with this <br />but feel that this use would benefit from and should allow a convenience center use to <br />support the higher density residential. I do not agree with the proposed change from <br />Industrial to transitional residential on the property north of [County Road] 116 <br />(extended) and west of Armstrong Boulevard." <br /> <br />· Staff does not feel an additional convenience store site is necessary.

In the near future, the City of Ramsey will <br />build a form of senior/civic center. The area would compliment the City held property <br />with a higher density area for senior residents. Ramsey is not doing anything serious <br />with life cycle housing. The City need not get into the housing business if they provide <br />proper zoning to encourage private development of life cycle housing. This parcel is <br />adequate size to provide housing of a 100 or more units. The property is serviced by two <br />major roads, Nos. 5 and 47." <br /> <br />. The land is currently designated mixed residential that would allow a mix of <br />residential types. Staff believes that this is an appropriate designation based on <br />surrounding land uses. <br />John Enstrom, 8702 181 st Avenue NW - "I was selected to serve on the Ramsey <br />comprehensive planning Committee. I attended all the meetings and seminars. It seems <br />
