Mr. Schroeder - I think that City Council is more interested in single family homes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman - The feeling on the City Council is they were not supportive of multi- <br />family. <br /> <br />Betty Olesen, 15310 Zirconium Street NW, Ramsey, - Instead of more houses, couldn't it be more <br />picnic areas? <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - The reason it's proposed this way is we do not have any money to develop this <br />park and the sale of this land would provide a way to develop it. <br /> <br />Jan Reiter - what would the lot size be? <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - In the letter we sent out to the developers, we did not provide any guidelines. We <br />would expect that the proposals we get back would have a good share of the homes using the lot <br />size minimum. We have encouraged developers to expand lot sizes on the north side. <br /> <br />Jan Reiter - They would have to tear all these beautiful evergreens out. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - If they develop to the fullest capacity, it could happen that some of the trees would <br />be taken out; however, we have codes that deal with tree preservation. <br /> <br />Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor - The north side is not really usable for athletic fields. Tree <br />salvaging would be maximized. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - When the opportunity exists, we maintain as much tree stock as possible. For <br />example, on Sunwood Drive, we put trees in all along both sides of the road. <br /> <br />Jan Reiter - No houses in Outlot B? <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - We could have some - but not a lot. One developer I talked to today asked rne <br />what our preferences were. I showed him what I thought might be reasonable. There are 23 rural <br />lots along our property and what I showed him was 23 homes. They may propose more but that's <br />what we will be suggesting. <br /> <br />John C. Peterson - They would sort of match up with the adjacent property then. <br /> <br />Tom Gamec - What's the setbacks. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - On 153rd, the right-of-way is 80 feet. <br /> <br />Tom Gamec - Does the City own all that property? Doesn't the second row of trees belong to <br />someone else? <br /> <br />Jan Reiter - No - (The trees don't belong to anyone else.) <br /> <br />Mr. Boos - The large power lines would restrict how near the homes could be also. <br /> <br />Jan Reiter - asked again about the buffer zone. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - I do not know the answer to that. <br /> <br />Alpine Neighborhood Meeting/October 24, 1996 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
