May 8, 2009 Dear Resident: Attachment H 7550 Sunwood Drive NTW • Ram City Hall: 763-427-1410 • Fax: 763-427-5543 www.cixamsey.mn.us Recently, you received a Public Hearing Notice regarding a request for an Interim Use Permit to allow radio -controlled, model aircraft on the agricultural land owned by Pearson Properties 'of Ramsey, LLC. Prior to that Application, NorthWest Radio Control Club was issued a Special Events Permit under approval from the City Council. Special Events Permits are extremely temporary in nature. The Special Events Permit is valid until an Interim Use Permit is. either approved or denied. NorthWest Radio Club has informed the City that they plan on flying starting Monday, May 11. The purpose of this Special Events Permit is to allow the club to start flying aircraft sooner than would be allowed under the normal Interim Use Permit review process. This also provides the City a unique opportunity to study actual conditions that arise from this interim use before either approving or, denying the Interim Use Permit. Interim Use Permits can be approved for a maximum of five years unless otherwise extended by City Council. The City is interested in hearing your feedback from this operation, either in support or not in support. The Planning Commission opened the Public Hearing for the Interim Use Permit request on Thursday, May 7. It was the determination of the Planning Commission to recess the Public Hearing until the June Planning Commissiozl in order for City Staff to take noise readings and study any potential traffic impacts resulting from the use. This also gives you as residents an opportunity to provide feedback on how the use is or is not impacting your neighborhood under actual conditions. I thankyou for your feedback on this application. Enjoy the warm weather! Sincerely, CITY OF RAMS Ti Gladhil Associate Planner CC: Community Development Director City Administrator Police Chief
