community inventory, tree protection during alteration and construction, and <br />frequent site visits and monitoring. 2.) The City of Ramsey should create a tree <br />preservation ordinance. I would also like to see the "token" tree replacement of <br />one tree be relevant to the number of trees being lost. This should be included in <br />the tree ordinance. I would be glad to send you copies of good tree preservation <br />ordinances that other cities have developed. In addition, I will also send you a <br />copy of resources that we provided to sixty-five planning and zoning <br />commissioners, city planners, engineers and council members that attended <br />Tree Trust's Baxter/Brainerd Environmental Planning & Zoning workshop held <br />March 4t~, 2000. This information will hopefully help in future development. <br /> <br />My next concern is the trail. It is indicated that there is a 35' easement on the <br />east side of the development but no link from east to north, where an existing <br />bituminous trail is now located. The City of Ramsey and Northfork Development <br />need to create this link, either by additional easement or identification of public <br />property that the trail would be situated upon. ! am requesting confirmation on <br />who owns the land where the trail will be created and ! also am requesting that <br />this trail be included in the Tree Preservation Plan. Connectivity through <br />greenways will help eliminate forest fragmentation and provide corridors for <br />recreation and wildlife habitat." These trails and open spaces add to the quality <br />of life in the City of Ramsey and protect the natural environments that we choose <br />to live in. <br /> <br />1 am not against new de..velopment, it is going to happen. My concern is that we <br />grow smart. We have only one chance with new development to get it right, <br />there are no "do-overs". Please review my. concerns and input. ! thank you for <br />your attention to these matters. Please provide answers to the questions and <br />concerns that l have presented. <br /> <br />Sincerely <br /> <br />Janette Monear, Ramsey Resident <br />8513 164th Lane NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />(612) 441-5968 home phone <br />(612) 920-9326 work phone <br />e-mail: .ianett_em~treetmst.com <br /> <br />cc: Dennis Peck, Tom Gamec, Susan Anderson, Terry Hendrickson, Margaret <br />Connolly, Gerald Zimmerman, Mark Boos, Kunde Company, Bruce Bacon, Dean <br />Kapler <br /> <br /> <br />
