May 21, 2001 <br /> <br />Steve Jankowski <br />City Engineer <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Dear Steve: <br /> <br />This letter is a fbllow-up to the conversation you had with Nathan Gubbe last week about the fence <br />that was built along Highway 47, . <br /> <br />We are located in the Arbor Ridge development in Ramsey. In this area, the fence ends just before the <br />stoplight for 149m Avenue and then begins again about 300 feet North, leaving homes open to the <br />Highway. <br /> <br />We are requesting that the fence be continued in front of our homes. Before the construction to widen <br />the Highway, there were many trees that served as a barrier from the road. These mature trees were <br />replaced with only a few 2-3 foot pines, which give us no protection from the busy Highway. <br /> <br />The following is a list of reasons for building the fence: <br /> <br />- We are located closer to Highway 47 than any of the other homes that- the,fence was built in front of. <br /> <br />- It would improve the appearance of the neighborhood to have one solid fence instead of one that <br />looks unfinished. <br /> <br />- The noise and litter barrier we had from the trees is now gone. (Just last month a tire fell off a <br />moving vehicle and hit our house). <br /> <br />We believe it is in the best interest of the city and ourselves to complete the fence 'in front of our <br />homes. Thank you in advance for your consideration on this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />
