Ramsey MN 55303 Re: Statement #1812 Dear Ms. Ashley: Attached is payment of $1295.92 for processing the CUP appli- cation for Aluminum Recycling, Inc. I feel the remainder of the charges should not be my expense. For further explan- ation, please reference H. A. & A Invoice RA2:15-151b. I approached the City of Ramsey in ~ood faith to achieve a suitable and equitable CUP. The applicability, by interpre- tation, of Ordinance 90.5 to my operation seemed to be an underlying contention between Mr. Otto and myself. After the second meeting of Planning and Zoning (Nov. 20), the commission requested Bill Goodrich be consulted for an opinion of this ordinance. Upon reviewing the time and charges billed to me, it appears an inordinate portion of these are the result of efforts made to fortify the applicability of Ordinance 90.5. Specifically, 12-3-90, 5 hours with Bill G. and Bob Hutchinson would imply b~r. Otto ~-~as beyond researching and into campai?ning. At a point in time, I had reduced my intended operation to closely resemble another aluminum processing facility which operates in Ramsey. Their CUP was reviewed and approved in October 1990 with no mention of Ordinance ~0.5. Too far into the process, I realized I could not achieve an acceFtable position witi~ [~lr. Otto. This is not your last billing. I have spent over $7000.00, plus legal fees in an attempt to obtain a CUP. I feel these highlighted charges are just not reasonable. I intend to apply for another CUP in Ramsey in the near future. I expect a more objective approach will be taken. Sin~ce re ly ,.~ .' .~ ,. ~ Glen Rychner Aluminum Recycling, Inc. attach/3
