That the Regulating Plan for Ramsey Village, as it relates to the subject property located near the southwest corner of Wadena Street and North 53RD Avenue West, be amended to allow, in addition to the currently permitted Type II and Type III structures, a Type VII eight-unit structure.

On May 8, 2018, the Duluth city planning commission held a public hearing on the proposal as shown in Attachment 1, and voted 6 yeas, 0 nays, 0 abstentions, to ...
