<br />The City Ramsey already has an ordinance that requires all vehicles be licensed, operable and <br />parked on an improved surface, but that ordinance is difficult to enforce. Please don't <br />penalize all city residents to fIX the problem with a few people because it is difficult to prove <br />operability. <br /> <br />I think 5 items is an unrealistic number as many city residents have more than 2 cars. When <br />you add an additional car or two, a camper, a pontoon boat, a small fishing boat, the trailer <br />and the snowmobiles, or a car hauler trailer an active family could easily have 10 items. Are <br />you saying that our son's and daughters should not have a car to drive to work so I can have a <br />boat or camper? <br /> <br />If each property owner maintains their yard and keeps all items in good repair the number of <br />items should not be of concern. If the citizens of Ramsey like to have an active life and do a <br />lot of things that should be our right, we should not have to choose between snowmobiles and <br />boating. <br /> <br />1, as a citizen of Ramsey do not want any ordinances added that limit my right to go and do the <br />things I enjoy. The amount of boats, trails and other items that I have in my yard should be of <br />no concern to the city or my neighbors as long as I keep them in order. If I have improved <br />surfaces, the grass mowed I should not have to make the choice to give up any of the items <br />that I have. <br /> <br />Thank you, Jeremy Sturgill" <br /> <br />Email #2: <br /> <br />"I am submitted this email because I may not be able to attend this Thursday's Off Street <br />Parking Ordinance meeting. <br /> <br />I would like to say that I understand the desire to clean up our community by limiting how <br />much stuff people store in their yards. But a big part of the reason people move to Ramsey is <br />to have our bigger yards, and to be able to have and store out things in our yards. If you are <br />going to start limiting how many things we have in our yards, where will it end? We might as <br />well all move into downtown Anoka and live in apartments. <br /> <br />I agree that everyone should maybe have all outside things neatly stored and arranged as to <br />not have our yards looking like junk yards. <br /> <br />I proposed that if we are going to have to limit the amount of outside items, campers, trailers, <br />etc., then the city should allow its residence to build larger garages for storing these items. I <br />have lived in Ramsey for over seventeen years now, and during that time the city has <br />continuously reduced the size of a garage that we can build. <br /> <br />Thankyoufor reading my concerns and my proposaL .Sincerely, Steve Angell" <br /> <br />Planning Commission / March 6, 2008 <br />Page 12 of 21 <br />
