Mr. Fountain stated he did not know of any meetings. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder noted that Mr. Fountain was indeed present at those meetings. He added <br />that the electric company was requested to work with the neighbors. <br /> <br />Mr. Fountain reported that he is aware of five people north of 151 st Avenue and only four <br />have been contacted. One of the people denies any contact. He inquired of Mayor Hardin <br />if he has had any discussions about a meeting with the utility company and the neighbors. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin stated he communicated with City Staff about it. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski mentioned that he called Mr. Voss from the Anoka Municipal Company and <br />he has not called back. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin assured Mr. Fountain that a meeting would be scheduled. <br /> <br />Mr. Fountain reported that the Anoka Municipal Electric has heard from three of the five <br />people and added that they (the residents) appreciate the City's efforts. He added that <br />running the line down Sunfish Lake Boulevard is a more logical place to put a 69,000 <br />kilovolt line. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski offered to place another call to Mr. Voss. <br /> <br />Eric Weiss questioned why this meeting about the Environmental Learning Area wasn't <br />posted on the sign out by the street. He added that the City of Ramsey is a great place to <br />live and that since he has lived here he has seen more wildlife than ever before. The City <br />should slow down a bit - quit building so many developments and leave Ramsey with large <br />acreage per house. <br /> <br />Ms. Juskiewicz told about the dogwood that deer feed on and that her husband made a <br />habitat for the pheasants. They filed a 55-gallon with acorns for the deer and they also buy <br />corn with money from recycling aluminum cans. Owls live in the area also. She <br />commented that she moved from New York to Chicago then to Ramsey by choice. She <br />added that she has no problem with progression - the homes being built, etc., but <br />expressed a concern about too many homes being built on too little acreage. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin reiterated that the lines on the map are not cast in stone and reminded the <br />residents that a meeting to discuss this subject is scheduled for Monday. Representatives <br />from the Department of Natural Resources will be present, along with members of Staff <br />and Council. He encouraged all present to attend to get something worked out. <br /> <br />Ms. Monear suggested that community development is important as is a policy to develop <br />parks, trails, etc. She felt this is an opportunity to get together as a partnership and <br />strategically plan. This might be the catalyst to start looking at the need to develop in the <br />area. She volunteered to work on such a committee. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin pointed out that the City has a Park and Recreation Commission and they <br />have an extensive plan which they would really appreciate having citizen input on. He <br />commented on the five-year plan for capital expenditure, etc. He reminded the citizens that <br />this City has been very proactive in developing parks and trails and reiterated that <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Mark Boos would appreciate citizen input. <br /> <br />City Council/March 28, 1995 <br /> Page 5 of 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
