MAY. 31.2OOI'~2:I3PM TEAMSTERS LOCAL 120(65])641 1248 NO. 9835 P. 2/2 <br /> <br />May 31, 2001 <br /> <br />Sylvia Frolik <br />Community Development Director <br />Ramsey Planning Commission <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Dear Ms, Frolik: <br /> <br />We are in receipt of the "Notice of Public .Hearin[¢' dated May 25, 2001, with regard to the <br />development of''The Pond~'. unfortunately we are unable to attend the meeting scheduled for <br />Tuesday, June 5, 2001, therefore, we are submitting our written concerns/comments. <br /> <br />We are extremely concerned with the number of vehicles that will be going through our <br />neighborhood. One of the entrarices shown on the primary plat for'q'he Pond~' is looated at <br />Iodine and 146th Avenue NW. We live on Lot #15 on 146~ Ave NWin the Wood Pond Hills <br />development (5641-146t~ Ave NW). We have enough problems as it is with"speedin¢ traffic on <br />our street, and now you want to add to it. All homes located on 146th Avenue NW in Wood Pond <br />Hills are owned by families who have small children, with the exception of Lots No. 5, 6 and 12 <br />(located at the comers of 146th Avenue NW and Junkite) who have no children. Our <br />neighborhood cannot handle the additional traffic. <br /> <br />Another concern is what schools have been zoned to enroll the many children that will be living <br />in this development? Ramsey Elementary School, Sandberg Middle School and Anoka High <br />School is crowded enough as it is, and with the budget cuts being proposed by the Governor the <br />schools will not be able to handle any more children. <br /> <br />We would be ok with only the senior citizen housing development, as we know the property will <br />be well taken care of and there will be no additional children to crowd the schools in District 11. <br />Does Ramsey not have any other land in the northern or northwestern area of the city (within <br />the Elk River School District) that can be zoned for single family homes and townhomes? We <br />are more in need of a community park and/or a community center in that area, not more housing <br />developments. The Southeast corner of Ramsey is already looki,.nq more like an "urban <br />city" instead of a suburban community! <br /> <br />By this letter we are in total disagreement with the development of "The Pond' in our <br />neighborhood. We as a family, along with our neighbors, will do whatever ~t will take to stop the <br />development. Please keep us informed of all other meetings regarding 'this issue. Thank you <br />for your attention to this very serious matter. <br /> <br />Randy & Kristine Dubiel and family <br />5641-146t~ Avenue NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Mayor Tom Gamec <br />City Council Members <br /> <br /> <br />
