Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,July 17, 2017 <br /> Page 14 <br /> Specific to the traffic pattern, Ms. Hermes stated that she had heard reports that <br /> �-- said an additional 800 vehicles/day and the 208-unit apartment complex could be <br /> accommodated. However, Ms. Hermes invited council members to visit her and <br /> witness current traffic concerns, opining that they then would no longer want this <br /> in their neighborhood. Ms. Hermes stated that the city couldn't control current <br /> speeding on their street, with trucks frequently going 40-50 mph, which was a <br /> conservative speed compared with some of the personal vehicles also using that <br /> street. <br /> Specific to the Metropolitan Council's goals for additional affordable housing <br /> units in the city, Ms. Hermes asked why so many — almost half— were needed <br /> with this proposed development. If too many lower-income residents were <br /> crowded into one area, Ms. Hermes opined that they would never get ahead but <br /> instead should be spread throughout the city rather than confined to one area. Ms. <br /> Hermes opined that it was offensive for those people expecting to live in those <br /> units,making it seem like a housing project surrounded by nice homes. <br /> Tom Brama,2994 (residence) and 3020 Old Highway 8 (11 unit apartment <br /> complex owner) <br /> With Councilmember Willmus noting this area being "down-sized" from Busi- <br /> ness to HDR, Mr. Brama opined that the neighborhood didn't consider it downsiz- <br /> ing at all, but only in creasing the number of vehicles during rush hour. Referenc- <br /> ing the displayed map, Mr. Brama noted existing traffic issues north on Old <br /> Highway 8 to County Road D with back-ups east to I-35W and all areas in be- <br /> tween with congestion on Highway 88 and Old Highway 8, and additional ramifi- <br /> cations with access on Old Highway 8 of this proposed development and instincts <br /> for routing elsewhere. Mr. Brama stated that he was not opposed to development <br /> of the parcel, but opined that Medium Density Residential (MDR) was more ap- <br /> propriate. Also, while recognizing the good reputation of this developer, Mr. <br /> Brama expressed concern with their lack of response from his multiple e-mails to <br /> them seeking more community engagement; and concerns about clear-cutting the <br /> site and setting aside funds for tree replacement. Under the circumstances, Mr. <br /> Brama opined that the developer seemed to be telling the city one thing while not <br /> attempting to engage the public as he implied to the City Council. While the Rice <br /> Street/Larpenteur Avenue Safety Center may be a five-year commitment for the <br /> city to lease, Mr. Brama noted that this would serve as a life-long commitment to <br /> this neighborhood. Mr. Brama opined that development of proposed four-story <br /> buildings on this site was totally out of character for that entire neighborhood, in- <br /> cluding the adjacent New Brighton and Village of St. Anthony and also would <br /> serve to overburden Sandcastle Park facilities as well. <br /> Kurt Burmeier,3045 Patton Road, other side of Sandcastle Park <br /> Mr. Burmeier addressed the potential increase in population attempting access to <br /> and from the neighborhood on Old Highway 8, essentially a residential, two-lane <br /> road. Mr. Burmeier also questioned the future of the bike path along that road; <br /> and opined that this proposed development was a disaster and only further nega- <br />
