Schroeder, City Administrat Laad Development As you know, the City of Ramsey has advertised for sale and development of approximately 21.7 acres of land at th~ northwest quadrant of 153rd and Sunfish Lake Boulevard in Ramsey. By the posted deadline, th~ City received an expression from three developers interested in this property. Our next step in ~s process is to identify the preferred developer and the preferred development plan. After holding a meeting with thc neighborhood which abuts this property to the north, City staff prepared twd development concepts that would appear to be reasonable given current development patterbs surrounding the City parcel. These sketches are attached for your review and consideration. There are .twenty .three-single farafly homes currently abutting the City property to the northj Therefore, a primaW consideration of plat development has been to assure that no more than twenty-three lots ar~ created on the north side of the City parcel. Within the enclosed sketches, the first contains twenty-three lots along this northern border with a total development of forty-two lots. An altemativ6 plan shows seventeen bordering lots with a total development of thirty-eight lots. Our request at ~ais time is that you propose a purchase agreement for one or preferably both of these development concepts. The City expects that there may also be development concepts which would work well on this site that have not yet bee~ considered by the City. Therefore, in addition to proposals reacting to the above concepts, we ~ould also invite proposals on concepts generated by others. Hence, please feel free to proposei other development patterns in addition to responding to the City prepared concepts. All proposals from the three parties expressing interest in this property to date will be considered. It shoul~l be noted, however, that high density apartment style housing development will not be accepted.
