were developed. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka replied that no study of this particular development will be <br />done; there was an environmental impact statement prepared when sanitary <br />sewer and municipal water were extended into Ramsey. When utilities were <br />extended to Flintwood II and III, the water table was lowered when the <br />pipes were installed; the groundwater was down for 2-3 months and don't <br />recall any private wells having any problems during that time. <br /> <br />Jean Schlueter - Noted that in the case of Juniper Woods and Rum Acres <br />Estates, there are more homes that will be directly affected by dewatering. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka replied that dewatering probably won't be necessary to extend <br />services to Juniper Woods. <br /> <br />Jean Schlueter - Stated that the Juniper Woods development deserves more <br />study with respect to impact on private wells in Rum Acres Estates. <br />Inquired as to the process to be used to request that Planning and Zoning <br />and City Council do a study on well impact. <br /> <br />Chairman Zimmerman stated that Ms. Schlueter could submit a petition to <br />City Council requesting that a water study be done with respect to Juniper <br />Woods; he doesn't know if City Council would comply with the request. <br /> <br />Pepresentative for Inger Welt - Inquired who is liable if private wells are <br />affected by the Juniper Woods develol~nent. <br /> <br />Chairman Zimmerman replied that he did not know who would be liable. <br />Chairman Zimmerman noted that Planning and Zoning is an advisory <br />commission; authority lies with City Council and concerns should be brought <br />to their attention. <br /> <br />Janet Houle - Stated that she thinks the proposed average lot size in <br />Juniper Woods allows for too high a density of development; the lots should <br />be 1/2 acre minimum and the development would be more cohesive if it were <br />developed with 1 acre lots. Stated she would be interested to know the <br />asking price for lots in River's Bend. <br /> <br />ADJOU~NMEN~ <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Shumway and seconded by Commissioner Hendriksen to <br />adjourn the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
