June 5, 1995 <br /> <br />Steve Jankowski <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. <br />Ramsey, Mn. 55303 <br /> <br />Re: Grading Permit, North Fork Inc. <br /> <br />Dear Steve: <br /> <br />Due to another meeting being held the same night, I will not be able to attend the P & Z meeting <br />on Tuesday. I wanted to let you know that I am opposed to North Fork Inc's. request for a <br />Conditional Use Permit for soil corrections on Lots 5,6,7, & 8, Block 3 Nothfork Links Addition. <br /> <br />I am opposed for the following reasons: <br /> <br />Current street elevation on the east side of Andrie is approximately 880-882 feet. The <br />proposed grading plan would bring the new'building pads to 887-888 feet. This increased <br />elevation will spoil the aesthetics of this area and will cause the proposed lots to look as <br />though they do not blend in with the established surrounding area. <br /> <br />Those of us who have purchased lots on the east side of Andrie, purchased them in good <br />faith that both the city and the developer had determined that proper grading and site <br />improvements were completed at the time the plat was approved. To raise the elevation <br />of the adjacent building sites now to eight feet would be a disservice to those individual <br />property owners in the development. <br /> <br />I am also concerned about drainage. Not only am I concerned about the walkout lots <br />potential for flooding, I am also concerned about the drainage plan creating an access of <br />runoff.into the drainage easement adjacent to these lots. We surely don't need to create <br />another potential drainage problem within the city. <br /> <br />Thank you for expressing my concerns to the Planning and Zoning Commission. I trust that each <br />of you will do what's in the best interest of the city. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Glen D. Hardin <br />15681 Andfie St. NW <br />Ramsey, Mn. 55303 <br /> <br /> <br />
