That the action taken March 24, 1975, was illegal because Ramsey Ordinance 73-5(E) requires action on a petition within 45 days of the public hearing and makes no provision permitting an extension of time. E. That on April 14, 1975, the council again illegally acted on the petition to rezone, such action occurring seventy-four (74) days after the last public hearing on the matter, and approved the rezoning by a 4-1 vote, such action being clearly illegal for the reason set forth in paragraph JJ:(d) above. III The action by the City Council adversely affects the health, safety and welfare of the children of the city of Ramsey in that: A. The property involved in this action was described by the developer as property to be developed into a regional and commercial shopping center attracting residents of Andover, Anoka, and st. Francis--that it would be the possible hub for all commercial activity north of Anoka. B. That located across from the rezoned property on about 50 acres of land at 1500 Nowthen Boulevard is Ramsey Elementary School which has a student population of about 851 students. C. That Ramsey Elementary School and the new commercial center are separated by County and State Aid Highway No.5. D. That evidence was given to the City Council in letter form by the Superintendent of Schools that establishing commercial use land in the vicinity of various schools in the school district had created serious hazards to the children attending the schools. E. That despite the suggestion to the Council that a traffic study be carried out or the offer by the school district to provide information on the subject, the Council failed to conduct a traffic study and failed to obtain other relevant information on the subject from the District 11 School Board.
