Steve and Lisa Sipe <br />16401Ramsey Blvd. <br />Ramsey, MN 55308 <br /> <br />To WhOm it may concern, <br /> This is in regards to the ongoing ordinance discussions going on at city <br />hall. <br /> .The city has, for too many years, disregarded the current ordinance to <br />the extent that Ramsey is well known as a community that is welcoming to small <br />business owmers. Our own experience was such that when we were looking to <br />build a home, we were continually directed to Ramsey because we have a dump <br />truck.~ In addition, when we proceeded to build our pole barn, noone ever told us <br />about.any ordinance pertaining to our truck. Because of this it is our <br />contention that everyone currently living in Ramsey, should be considered <br />"grandfathered". <br /> Furthermore, a new ordinance needs to be written to deal with such matters <br />in th~ future. It is our belief that people who live in rural Ramsey should be <br />allowed to bring their vehicles and equipment home. Provided they do not make <br />for an eyesore and they are not actually conducting business on their property. <br /> Most of us are just small business owners who are trying to provide a <br />home, clothes, and food for our families. The presence of our vehicles in our <br />pole ~uildings, or parked neatly in an out of the way spot, should not bother <br />anyon$, Particulary since most of us have to work during the day and our <br />vehicles aren't even there, except at night. <br /> It is our land, we are the ones who pay the taxes, why is it a problem to <br />have a section of one community where people like us can provide for our <br />families. If people have a problem with working men and women bringing their <br />vehlc%es home at night, there are many communities around where they can move <br />and have all the covenants and agreements they want. But, please, don't put <br />anymore burdensome rules and regulations on people like us. Most of us are far <br />from wealthy and getting conditional use permits, or having to house our <br />vehicles elsewhere would put an undue burden on our already stretched budgets. <br /> Thank you for your time and for promptly resolving this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> eSteve and L~u p <br /> <br /> <br />
