Mr. Stoll stated that we would have to get more police officers and then they'd p/obably need <br />horses to ride to patrol the trails. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson informed Mr. Peterson that it is not suggested that snowmobiles be <br />allowed on that particular trail. <br /> <br />Bill Smith stated that Trott Brook is the only place snowmobiles will be allowed. <br /> <br />A resident stated that it's not legal to drive a snowmobile on Ramsey Boulevard N.W. going 70 <br />miles per hour but they do it. If we build a trail, they will come. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson asked Mr. Schroeder to inform the residents what will happen from this <br />point. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated that Staff will take the residents comments tonight and bring a <br />recommendation to Council at their April 25, 1995 meeting. At that point, Council will either <br />approve something or set another date for discussion. <br /> <br />Patty Kurak, 15001 Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W., Ramsey, stated she lives on Sunfish Lake and <br />is concerned about a trail being built in her back yard because the dotted lines on the map indicate <br />that's where it would be. She inquired how the City is proposing to acquire the property from <br />private landowners, when they propose to do it and why they propose to do it. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos stated that this is a concept plan to determine the best use for the land - no land <br />acquisitions have been talked about. <br /> <br />Ms. Kurak stated that there are peoples homes here where the lines are drawn. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos reiterated that this is a concept plan only - the trail will not necessarily be on Ms. Kuraks <br />land. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson stated that City Council has not officially voted on this. <br /> <br />Ms. Kurak stated that seeing the trail line drawn along the lake distresses her and she would like to <br />see it removed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson stated that it was too expensive to remove lines on maps each meeting but <br />that we should not cause people to become alarmed. He added that he was very nervous <br />presenting this. <br /> <br />Ms. Kurak stated that she is also concerned about privacy and that the line on the map is an insult. <br /> <br />A resident inquired why property owners are not notified before "lines are put on paper." <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin informed the resident that all meetings are open to the public, the meeting times are <br />published in the paper. There is citizen input asked for at the Council meetings, the Ramsey <br />Resident carries a brief summary of the Council minutes. We would have to spend more tax <br />dollars to notify everyone. We try to get the information out to the residents as best we can with <br />the resources available to us. <br /> <br />The resident stated that it's obvious some of the residents are not aware of what's going on. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin stated that this public hearing is about informing and allowing for input. <br /> <br />Public Hearing/City Council/March 21, 1995 <br /> Page 7 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
