RECE►vFf MAR 2 0 1987 Honorable Mayor City Administrator City of Ramsey 15153 NW Nowtkea Blvd Ransey,Ma 55303 Gentlemen: Robert J. Miller 14726 Ramsey Blvd Ramsey,! 55303 421-6890 Merck 20, 1987 After attoxding tie Airport Zexing Meeting of Marsh 11, 1987, I feel it necessary to put in writing my feeling pertaiaiag to this natter. First of all, while I keartily agree tkat tke airport is tie best idea for the land use, the long term plan for development sf the surrounding property seems to be somewlat lacking ix foresight. The parcels of laud I refer to are direetly West of the airport oa tie west side sf County Road 56. I believe tke safety factors should not be the only faetora in purehasi.ng tke few existiag homes. A11 airports lave a problem with seise, and some type of plan should be incorporated mow before it becomes a problem tat ends up ix litigation. A possible solution would be as proposed by the Barton Asphalt Company, a berm along County Road 56 aad planting of nature evergreens as noise and visual site blockade from Heir prepoeed so*struetioa. The construction of a berm and planting of trees raigkt be a short term solution, however another logical answer is to buy the homes as tkey become available for sale and rezone the property to something more eonpatible to the airport. lftsr talking to pilots vie take off from Gateway airport, they all agree that most of the take offs would be to the Northwest, and the highest noise pollution from engines and propellors would occur at tke Northwest end of the runway. Tour asap shows that you propose to buy land in Safety Zone C, just North of my property ex the West side of Cauaty Road 56. That parcel has' me louses oa it aad it seems to me that if yen deem it necessary to buy that parcel, some provision should be made to buy parcels closer to tke point of take off where the maximum noise pollution would oe ur.
