I <br />,I <br />'1 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Jim and Pam Deal <br /> April 6, 2O00 <br /> <br /> Ramsey Planning Commission <br /> 15153 Nowthen Blvd N.W. <br /> Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Ace Solid Waste Conditional Use Permit <br /> <br /> Box 159 <br />Anoka, MTnnesota 55303 <br /> <br />To Whom it May Concern: <br /> <br />We are in receipt of a letter advising us of a proposed transfer station for Ace Solid Waste. We would <br />like to advise you that we are vehemently opposed to such an exception being made to the current city <br />expansion plan. We would like to be put on .record as being totally opposed to the issuance of this <br />conditional use permit. <br /> <br />We not only feel it would negatively effective the value of our property but also do not see any benefit <br />for the City of Ramsey. We feel that a business like this should be located outside of a populated area. <br />Surely there must be land available in the City of Ramsey where such a waste transfer station could be <br />located outside of the newly expanding Sunfish Lake Blvd area. <br /> <br />We also have questions on how any 'hazardous waste issues are going to be handled. Details relating <br />to this issue were sketchy and no environmental impact statements were enclosed. This is a major <br />concern for all of the citizens of Ramsey and should be addressed. <br /> <br />We were in the process of making an offer on a tract of land in the area of the proposed conditional <br />use. Obviously, if this permit is granted and we would have a waste transfer station adjacent, we will <br />not move forward with the pumhase because of the effect that this type of business would have on <br />market values of the surrounding areas. I have also talked to some of the landowners and one of them <br />stated that if this permit is approved, he will be moving. <br /> <br />When we built our building, city officials assured us that the expansion of the area would be light <br />industry and we feel that ifa conditional use permit is granted the direction of the expansion for this <br />area will be moving in the wrong direction. As the area stands now, all the businesses conform to the <br />current city plan and the area is very attractive to new business. However, with a waste transfer <br />station located in the area, that image will be severely damaged. <br /> <br />Once again, we would like to be put on record as opposing the issuance of a conditional use permit to <br />Ace Solid Waste. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> nd Pamela S.
