April 6, 2000 <br /> <br />Ramsey Planning Commission <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd N.W. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />RE: Ace Solid Waste Conditional Use Permit <br /> <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br /> <br />As a business owner on Highway 10, I am in receipt ora letter from the City of Ramsey advising <br />me of a public hearing regarding a conditional use permit application from Ace Solid Waste for a <br />solid waste transfer station. After reviewing the limited information enclosed with the <br />notification, I reit a letter was necessary ..... <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I have a number of concerns regarding the issuance of this permit. The first concern I have is how <br />wilt this type of business affect my property value. I cannot see it as being an advantage, which <br />leads me to believe that a waste transfer station would considerably lower my property value. <br /> <br />Another concern I have is the lack of information that was disclosed with the letter and <br />accompanying paperwork. There was no mention of any hazardous waste or the handling of such <br />sensitive materials. This should be a major concern for both the adjacent business owners as well <br />as the City itself. Has this issue been addressed and if it has why was the information on the <br />handling of it not included in the notice? <br /> <br /> Thirdly, prior to starting my business I met with city officials and was turned down when I <br /> inquired about a conditional use permit for outside storage. I then had to change my original <br /> business plan because I was told that no deviation from the original expansion plans would be <br />: 'considered. Why then, after four years, are the city officials considering issuing a conditional use <br />permit for a waste transfer station, which I believe is more detrimental to the City image than my <br />outside storage would have been? <br /> <br />As it stands, I would like to be counted as opposing the issuance of this conditional use permit. I <br />do not believe that this type of business is in any way beneficial to either the City of Ramsey nor <br />the current and future business owners. <br /> <br />Anchors Away/Ramsey Quick Lube <br /> <br />JD:vjk <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />6745 W.
