CITY COUNC~ <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />ANOKACOUNTY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Ramsey City Council conducted a work session on Tuesday, December 11, 2001, at the <br />Ramsey Fire Station Number II, 15050 Armstrong Boulevard NW, Ramsey, Minnesota. <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Mayor Thomas Garnet <br />Councilmember Susan E. Anderson <br />Councilmember Patti Kurak <br />Councilmember Terry Hendriksen <br />Councilmember Gerald Zimmerman <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />City Administrator James E. Norman <br />Principal Planner Patrick Trudgeon <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec called the work session of the City Council to order at 6:04 p.m. <br /> <br />WORK SESSION TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION <br /> <br />1) Proposed Land Use Changes from March 2002 Draft <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that staff had received unclear direction regarding the land use <br />map at the last work session. He requested that the Council review the proposed land use <br />changes and decide whether or not to place them on the proposed land use map. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec noted that the proposed land use changes have nothing to do with rezoning, it is <br />only a proposed use. The land use changes will be presented at a public hearing on January 24, <br />2001 at which time there will be public input. The actual rezoning of the property would take <br />place individually for every parcel and would require individual notification to the adjacent <br />property owners. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen replied that the distinction was tree, but misleading because once <br />the City has designated land for a certain use they cannot refuse the rezoning and, if they do, they <br />can be brought to court and be forced to rezone the property. He felt that the Mayor was giving <br />the residents a false assurance that their concerns will be heard. <br /> <br />City Council/December 11, 2001 <br /> Page 1 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
