flight pattern. It has been stated that these businesses would be grandfathered in. It is our contention WHY CREATE A HAZARD FOR MANY, JUST TO BENEFIT A FEW? III) The statement that an improved airport will increase both business and residential property. valuations is in fact both misleading and an insult to one's intelligence. It is a well known fact that airports cause a devaluation in residential properties located in the immediate flight patterns. Why do you suppose that the Veteran's Administration requires a buyer to sign a VA Airport Noise Clause when he is considering buying a home located close to an airport (enclosed find a copy of the clause). IV) Let's all face the fact that industrial development will not become a reality for Ramsey in.the near future. 1-94 has taken the majority of truck traffic away from Highway 10. There are many lots and industrial sites located in Hennepin County which are waiting for development with sewer and water already in and present landowners in a precarious situation. It is IMPERATIVE that the city of Ramsey in its zeal to move forward does not create a situation which will place its present landowners in a position where they will be unable to pay high taxes and face possible loss of their properties. V) Why would the city consider airport development and create a situa- tion that would put airplanes and residents in jeopardy? The landfill is now close to the.maximum height limitations and with the permits al- ready issued will soon exceed maximum height. This landfill attracts birds which are also a hazard. Some questions to be considered: #1) At the last Public Hearing why was our City Attorney not present to answer questions? #2) Why has the attorney been absent for alot of the meetings recently held in the city? #3) Why did the Airport Commission have an emergency meeting during the last Public Hearing for the airport? #4) During the last Public Hearing when a city official was asked if the airport was already a fact of life the official stated that the City Council has not approved it. Then, why later during the meeting did that same official state that in order for the airport to be stopped a petition had to be signed by residents forcing a vote to be held. Does this sound like the airport is not going through?
