<br />· People moved here for land <br />· Maintain and don't disrupt integrity of existing neighborhoods <br />· Consideration of true density transition, example: 2 acre lots with city lots next to them <br />should be 2 acre to 1.5 to 1 and so on (layer transition) <br />· Residents that don't want or need something (i.e., curbs, water) shouldn't have to pay for it <br />· Does the demand for services warrant it? <br />· Existing landowners should not be forced to subsidize infrastructure needed by someone <br />else's "for profit" development <br /> <br />ISSUE: Where can new neighborhoods occur in Ramsey? And can they? What should <br />they look like? <br />· Density should be flexible - varying densities have lived next to each other for decades, just <br />fine. Some lands can support more density than others. Lots of 2 acres or less is good. <br />· Should be able to occur anywhere in Ramsey depending on suitability of land, roads, etc. <br />(proximity to city sewer & water) <br />· Rural preserve (4 in 40) must go away. It is a penalty to our longest-owning landowners! <br />· Do not force redevelopment <br />. Have transitional density <br />. Mixed use <br />· Walkable developments <br /> <br />ISSUE: <br />Cornell <br />· Sufficient water supply? <br />· Be more proactive with roads and infrastructure <br />· Access to city sewer or septic systems <br />· Sufficient lot size for septic systems <br />· Encourage more master planning of proposed developments <br />· Update trail system to accommodate new neighborhoods and parks <br /> <br />What is the appropriate infrastructure to support any such neighborhoods? Randy <br /> <br />ISSUE: Are the right people showing up? How do we "reach" people? We can't make <br />people come. Eric Zaetsch <br />· No sustained input from certain people, yet they pay the taxes <br />· Some people are waiting for the City to make the decisions <br />· Go to them and ask them what they want . <br />· Some people don't care - life just comes - time demands <br />· Some people don't think they can make a difference <br />· Some people think the City's going to do what they want anyway <br />· Some people aren't comfortable <br />· How do you get a representative sample of these people? <br />· Do you go to them? Go out to the areas? Would it be worth it? <br />· Councilmembers should "represent" their constituency - attendance <br />· People who are here know others and know their opinions <br />· What is the goal number of people? <br />
