This way they only have two access points from all of.the units to <br />Riverdale. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if these would be signaled. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated he did not think they needed to be signaled. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kociscak stated he lives in that area and-the townhouse development would be <br />doubling the neighborhood even without the 1.8 acres being, rezoned. He stated from the <br />residential standpoint, why would they want to cram twelve more units in when they are already <br />doubling the size of the neighborhood and the second standpoint is this is the prime real estate in <br />Ramsey, so. why would they want to rezone the prime real estate to accommodate twelve houses. <br />He stated the commercial property brings in more revenue than residential property. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />There was none. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner iReeve, to close the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion Carried.
