This <br />property is owned by William Rome and is on the comer of 161st Lane NW and <br />Dysprosium St. NW. <br /> <br /> Over its many year history, Rum River Scout Camp has tried to provide a wilderness <br />experience to thousands of young people in an attempt to teach them about the wonders <br />of nature and, from that, a respect for the environment. We believe this is an important <br />value for the next generation. <br /> <br /> We feel the size and location of the proposed pole barn addition would diminish that <br />wilderness environment. We, therefore, are not in favor of the proposed addition. <br /> <br /> We would like to thank the City of Ramsey for the opportunity to respond to this <br />request and appreciate the City's continued support of our programs for young people. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Lee Johnson <br />Properties Committee Chairman <br /> <br /> ck McDevi~~ ~~~ <br />~f ~.uppOrt Services <br /> <br />t'-'t <br /> <br /> <br />
