Henry Messer, 5936 - 168th Lane NW, Ramsey, asked if when you shift the east easement line by the bank, will the frontage road be eliminated. Ms. Frolik responded that when the Klemish Addition was developed, the City required an extra 39 feet to some day provide for a future service road. Now, a service road is not necessary but this 39 feet of easement provides the area for an important segment for the City's trail system and we would like to retain that for trail and provide the new owners of the bank the canopy easement. She added that the east line will not shift. Gerald Ladwig, 5955 - 168th Avenue NW, Ramsey, asked about Lots 1, 2 and 3 - will they be pushing that line north 150 feet? Ms. Frolik answered that the homestead was rezoned to commercial years ago for additional parking. The residential lot will decrease in size. Mr. Ladwig asked the dimensions of Lot 1, as passed. Ms. Frolik replied 317 feet on the Highway//47 side, 318 feet on the western boundary, and 538 feet across 168th. Mr. Ladwig asked if Lot 1 is zoned residential. Ms. Frolik answered yes, but a remnant on the south end of Lot 1 is zoned commercial. She added that the rezoning is Mr. Muller's prerogative. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to close the public hearing. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson, Beahen, Beyer and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. The public hearing closed at 7:20 p.m. Council Business Mayor Hardin called the regular portion of the City Council meeting back to order at 7:20 p.m. Ms. Frolik announced that staff is recommending retaining the 39 foot easement parallel to Highway #47 and only vacating the existing easements within the boundaries of the lots.
