I ha~e not read the minutes from that meeting, however, I do want to <br />reaffirm my thoughts on the subject. <br />We are very mu~h in favor of creating snowmobile trails in the city, if in fact, we have to <br />allow snowmobiling here. These trails should not include boulevards in residential areas <br />or farmers fields~ If the homeowners and farmers, etc. are responsible for the care and <br />upkeep of this p.~rt of our property please tell us why we should have to endure the <br />expense every year of replanting grass, bushes, etc. and the repair of driveways so the <br />snowmobilers C~rn come back next year and d° the same damage all over again. Are we <br />at all interested In the beauty of our city? Is the mission of the city to make Ramsey a <br />pleasant place for all of its residents or is the city only interested in making the <br />snowmobilers happy? We personally have cuts in our driveway, which is only two years <br />old, and the grass does not come back on the boulevard the way it does on the rest of <br />the lawn. Mr. Pe~arson loses thousands of dollars because of the snowmobilers and tell <br />me, what aboutlthe safety of the children that like to make snow forts, etc. and play in <br />their own yard. What will the city do if a child is seriously injured, or worse, because of <br />the snowmobile~-s racing across the boulevard? I pray to God that never happens. <br />We will do whal~ever we can to help establish trails if that is the wish of ali the people in <br />Ramsey, however, until that is accomplished we would like to know what we can do to <br />keep the snowmobilers off of our property unless of course there is a fund available for <br />driveway and lawn repair and crop damage, however there would never be a fund large <br />enough to repaii' or replace a child. <br />Thank you for your consideration and I will keep in touch. If there is another meeting I <br />do wish to be nOtified. <br /> <br />M ickey Ada ms <br />5335 180th Ave. N.W. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br /> <br />
