Councilmember Haas Steffen wondered if Ramsey's Code should be looking at different standards for different areas of the City. Attorney Goodrich responded that Council is now taking issues on a case by case basis but is suggesting development of different performance standards for different areas of the City, based on the conditions of the neighborhood.

Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beyer, and Beahen. Voting No: Councilmember Zimmerman. Case #9: Acquisition of Site for Proposed Senior Housing Development Project Mayor Gamec reported that a meeting has been held with the Anoka County Housing Redevelopment Authority (HRA). Ramsey presented a proposed senior housing project of 50 units to be developed on the Laws property. The HRA is drawing up the plans and the City is working on the acquisition of that land. City Administrator Norman stated that the City needs to begin making efforts to gain control of the property and the resolution presented to Council is to authorize staff to work on the acquisition of the land. Motion by Councilmember Beahen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution #98-06-135 authorizing acquisition of real property (Laws) for public senior housing purposes. Further discussion: Councilmember Haas Steffen stated that we left it up to Dennis Berg to talk to Burns Township about participating in the senior housing project. July 19 had been set as "D-Day" for joining in on it. We will probably get requests to serve Burns Township residents but they would not have any priority over any other community if they do not assist with the funding.
