I <br /> <br />through the process to see if the zoning can be amended to allow for 16-unit buildings. It is the <br />developer's right to submit a zoning ordinance amendment, but ultimately the Council will have <br />to approve any change. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if the developer is charged a fee for that process. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon replied that the developer is charged for the amount of time they <br />spend on the issue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated that it limits the amount of space to place units when they <br />complete the project in phases. <br /> <br />Mr. McGee replied that they have not changed anything. He explained that when the sketch plan <br />was approved there was no restriction within the R-2 zoning regarding unit sizes. That was <br />changed two weeks later. At this time they are bringing some suggestions to the Planning <br />Commission for consideration. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen' stated that everything within the triangle was single family <br />residential and they as a Council, on a 3-2 vote, changed the land to medium density, They <br />recently adopted a density transition ordinance that does provide the option of density matching <br />on the perimeter and if there has ever been an area where individual property owners deserve to <br />have matching densities this is it. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that he disagreed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that then the Mayor disagreed with the concept entirely. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he felt that it would be detrimental to the current property owners and <br />he would like to see them get the maximum dollar for their property. <br /> <br />Councilmember HendrikSen replied that people should have the right to make their own <br />decisions and they should be willing to follow their direction. If the residents don't want to have <br />more space around the property and they hope to sell their property in the future, then they can <br />let them know that. <br /> <br />Mr. McGee stated that they have worked with the residents throughout the planning process. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that at that time, the residents may have made the best deal <br />they could but now they have greater rights and knowing that they have more options, they may <br />wish the Council to exercise that on their behalf. <br /> <br />Deb Kuechle, 15345 Sunfish Lake Boulevard NW, Ramsey, stated that her main concern has to <br />do with the City road. They have now changed the plan so that the road T's instead of ending at <br />her property. <br /> <br />City Council/Octol~er_ 8, 2002 <br /> Page 13 of 16 <br /> <br />Pl17 <br /> <br /> <br />
