I:CE t irk p <br />June 11, 1987 % 9 79a <br />Re: Citizens Letter of Concern Ansij „ <br />Dear Mayor and City Council Members: <br />We are writing this letter to express our concern regarding the <br />proposed expansion of the Gateway North Airport located in the City <br />of Ramsey. Because of the recent crash of the helicopter and the two <br />deaths resulting, we are asking the city to reconsider its proposal <br />to expand and improve the airport. <br />If this aircraft would have crashed 5 seconds earlier the Lehn, <br />Chancellor, Hassler, Jenson, Bayerl and Sentyrz residences would have <br />been destroyed, <br />It was unfortunate that this accident happened but it does point <br />out the facts, that the risk concerns stated previously by Ramsey <br />citizens were not unfounded. Again, the homes and businesses north <br />and south of the airport need not, and must not, be placed in jeopardy <br />just for the sake of development. <br />Taxes are extremely high and the removal of land and homes from <br />the tax roles through the purchase of property for the airport expan- <br />sion is not a sound decision by the city. This removal will only <br />raise taxes which are now considered a strain both by businesses and <br />homeowners. Not only the safety of our people but the economic impact <br />must be fully considered. <br />We ask you again to contemplate our concerns and vote no for <br />airport improvement or expansion. <br />Let the deathsof these two men not be in van but help us to <br />come to a better understanding that many must not suffer just for the <br />economic benefit of a few. <br />Yours in Deep Concern, <br />City of Ramsey Citizens and Property Owners <br />t'7// /3 7 rk/4-u1', A/ t, <br />/ 7 %// /37 T� /e-te A/zeieett <br />jjegujc3,TaAL.---) , <br />4 74,E /32rti,Gv,�.�se�i <br />/37 e a/i/ ,�2� <br />Cova) <br />
