P,3/5 Schroeder March 8, 1995 Page 2 Garnet Street can be minimized by constructing the line 401feet east of the east edge of the rear lot lines, iAn existing electrical distribution line is locatedlon the rear lot lines. At the recommendation of Ramsey staff, the owners of these residential lots were notified of proposed Alternate 4 in writing by AMUon February 6, 1995 and Ramsey staff and AMU staff have answered their questions and concerns. 4. Future development in Ramsey would be enhanced .becauseI a. The alignment is a straight north - south alignment along quarter section lines, b.~ The alignment is over property that has less development potential because it is adjacent to the landfill and crosses lower land, and c. The alignment is shorter. 5. EnVironmental and esthetic concerns are minimized because Alternate 4 is approximately 1/2 mile shorter than Alternate~3. 6. LoWer right of way and construction costs will help kelp rates charged to Ramsey residents by AMU low. In view of the general language regarding the transmission line alignmeht contained in the November Resolution, AMU does not believe ~odification of the November Resolution is required to pursue Alternate 4. However I understand that it is your preference to submit this matter to the Ramsey City Council and ~herefore AMU respectfully requests that Ramsey amend Resolution No. 94-11-251 to add Alternate 4 as an additional a~proved route for the new transmission line. It is important~ to retain Alternate 3 as an option since technical problems relating to the landfill may ultimately prohibit thei use of Alternate 4, and our construction schedule may not per,it time for you to schedule this matter for your Council consideration after the technical issues are resolved. We would appreciate your Council's consideration of this request at i~s March 14, 1995 meeting.
