144-31. Wol~r'am St.. N.W. Ramsey, MN 55301]~ Oct ob er .... - ~.'.d~ 1988 F:'lar'~nir~g and Zoning Commis_~ion 151~''-;''..~.:, Nowt. hen Blvd. NW Ramsey, MN 553~1T'"; r~:.:,: pL~blic hearing: pla~ approval $or Cedar Hills development We have [)een resiclents o~ Hunter's Hill ~:or over" 14 years. In that time we have enjoyed and appreciated the low tra¥-Eic volume created by our plat design. It woulcl appear" that devel, opers have the legal right to develop t. he almost 12~ acres of land to the east and southeast, of us if they can meet the zoning code and ~zomply w:i. th ~he Comprehensive F'lan. I have studied the in~:orma~ion sent to the residents ~r'-om the city and have discussed the available plans ~or {he three developments o~ Windemer'e Woods~ Cedar Hills~ and Good Value Homes with city personnel and wit. h Merlin Otto o~ Hakanson Anderson Asst. engineering ~irm. I am told there are 22~J - 230 homes pr"ojected ~:or the 3 p 1 at s. Even though I would like to speak against this high density housing in general, in what has been a basically urban/rural setting~ my major concern is about, the ingress and egress roads to these developments. According to Mr. Otto, virtually all o~-. the tra~¥ic ~or all developments will go through Hunter's Hill or Ramsey Terrace and some through Windemere Woods on the way to County Roads 57~ 5, and ll6. A development pl.an can be denied by the F' and Z Board i~ it adversely a¥~:ects a surrounding neighborhood, i believe the PROPOSED PLAN SHOULD BE DENIED on the basis o~ t. he adverse a~:~ec:ts '~.o Hunter's Hill and Ramsey Terrace because o~ the r-oad/tra~~.~:ic plan. When :11 went 'l:.o the City Flall on October .....,:./'"'~'~ there were development pi. aris availab].e ~or only Cedar Hills and Wi ndemer'e Woe, els. When S'y]. vi a and I tri ed to I i ne them Ltp ~ the streets between the two developments didn't even match up. It would appear that there has been little coordination :i.n planning b(~tween these two p].ats. There should be access roads to these new developments that would give direct access to County 57 and ~16 without g~ing t'.hrough existing neighborhoods. The only access to heavily travel ed 57 is through Hur-~ter's Hill. There is undeveloped ].ar"~d south o~,: Cedar' Hills plat. It would be much more r-easc)r-~ab].e to have a direct road to 116 through tha'lz parcel o~ land. Wi'l'-h the current proposal: 142ncl Ave. in Cedar
