May 9, 2012 <br />Patrick Boylan, Sector Representative <br />Metropolitan Council <br />390 N Robert St <br />Saint Paul, MN 55101 <br />RE: City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan Amendment Withdrawal <br />Patrick: <br />Thank you to you and the rest of the Metropolitan Council staff for taking the time to review the <br />appropriate land uses within The COR (formerly Ramsey Town Center). Following our discussion on April <br />23, 2012, the City has been working to address potential solutions to feedback provided on forecasts <br />provided with the changes in the future site plan for the area. <br />Staff discussed the issue with our Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) on May 1st and with the <br />City Council on May 8th. Based on those discussions, we are requesting to officially withdraw the current <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment entitled '2011 Ramsey Major Amendment'. It is our intent over the <br />next several months to re -assess our forecasts and land uses as well as potential outcomes of those land <br />use decisions. Based on the time it will take to review this analysis, we feel it is best to withdraw the <br />Amendment and bring back a new Amendment in the near future. <br />Again, thank you for your feedback on this issue. We are confident that our analysis will show a better <br />quality TOD design, now more re -focused in the center of the project, maximizing the success of the <br />Ramsey Station. <br />Sincerely, <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />Staff Person <br />Title <br />
