,<DATA project ~ list~> <br /> <br />January 28, 199~, <br /> <br />,<Address >> <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Dear <br /> <br />Your property i$ one which has frontage along one of the few remaining unpaved streets in the <br />City of Ramsey. The City Council identified the paving of the remaining miles of dirt streets as a <br />desirable City g0al. In the past, the City has waited until property owners along the street have <br />petitioned for s~eet paving; however, to achieve the goal of eliminating dirt streets, the City will <br />become pro-active and initiate paving projects. <br /> <br />At a recent Coun~cil meeting, I presented the Ci~ Council with preliminary cost estimates for eleven <br />dm street paving projects. The Council directed me to conduct a survey among property owners <br />within these prdposed projects to determine their degree of interest. Obviously, one extremely <br />important factor for you in determining your level of interest is the cost associated with the <br />improvement. }~ased upon preliminary cost estimates, the paving of your street is estimated to cost <br />you approximately $3,400.00. The City's policy is to allow payment as an assessment spread <br />over ten ),ears Mth interest. If you were to select this method of financing, your estimated annual <br />pa3~ent over 10 years would be approximately $500.00 per yea,-. <br /> <br />I wish to emphasize that this is not a notice that a pubhc improvement for the paving of your street <br />has been initiated. It is merely a survey to deterrmne whether it is likely that a pa',fing project <br />would be accemed bv the residents if one were initiated by the Council. If a majori~ of property. <br />owners within~ k pro3ect are opposed to the improvement, City Charter allows a mechanism to <br />prevent the project from being constructed. Based upon the response of this survey, a paving <br />prqiect may be initiated on your street. The Council has indicated that those projects with the most <br />posim, e response will be the £krst ones considered for the improvement process. <br /> <br />Please fill out the enclosed survey sheet to indicate your level of interest in seeing the paxdng of <br />your street pursued. Return it by ]:ebruary 15, 1994 in the stamped, return addressed envelope <br />provided. You ma)' also wish to use this form for an5, comments you may have relative to this <br />issue. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br /> <br />Steven J. Jankowski, P.E. <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Enclosure <br /> <br />SJJ/kaj <br /> <br /> <br />
