Johnson Stephen D. Johnson RE: Rum River Hills Golf Course Dear Mr. Schroeder: Please.be advised that I represent Jerry Schmidt whose residence is located at 5831 164th Lane N.W., Ramsey, immediately adjacent to the Rum River 'Hills Golf Course. As you may be aware, the owners of the Rum River Hills Golf Course are asking permission to build a larg~ maintenance building and parking lot on the golf course abutting my client's property. In rev%ewing the original PUD Plan and Developers Agreement, it appears that the zoning of the particular proper~y in question was never addressed; and the proper~y.where the maintenance building is to be located is zoned PUD Golf Course. I have also been informed that the Planning staff intends to allow, the. building to be erected on the property simply with site-Plan approval without a public hearing. It is ~ur position that a public hearing is required in this matter. This proposed building was not included in theioriginal PUD Plan; will reduce the open space in the PUD and contradicts the original Findings of Fact that were entered into prior to the approval of the PUD because this structure will have a severe detrimental effectlto my client's property and the property of other ~urrounding property owners and may be considered an inverse taking, by the City. My client respectfully requests that this proposed project be put on for public:hearing so that the concerns of the surrounding property owners can be heard by the City Council. If this matter is not placed on for public'hearing, my client has requested that I take whatever steps are necessary in order to protect his interests. Please
