E -MAIL TO COUNCILMAN COOK (copies to other Council members and neighbors) COUNCILMAN COOK; HERE IS MY E -MAIL RESPONSE THE SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU ASKED FROM ME IN RESPONSE TO THE LONG DISCUSSIONS THAT YOU, COUNCILMEMBER KURAK AND ELVIG AND I HAD AFTER THE COUNCIL MEETING ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 26TH. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I AM A RETIRED SCHOOL TEACHER WHO HAS ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT AND TAUGHT THAT, WHEN YOU TALK WITH SOMEONE OR WRITE TO SOMEONE, YOU ALWAYS PRESENT ALL THE DETAILS AND INFORMATION AS HONESTLY AND COMPLETELY THAT IS LEGALLY POSSIBLE TO DO! 1). I WENT TO CITY HALL AND GOT A COPY THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. YOU WERE NOT CORRECT THAT E -MAIL ADDRESS WERE AVAILABLE FOR EACH. ONLY YOURSELF AND COUNCILMEMBERS STROMMEN AND KURAK ARE PRINTED. MAYOR GAMEC HAS ONE BUT ASKS PERSON TO BRING MATERIAL TO CITY HALL AND A DESIGNATE PERSON WILL SEND IT TO HIM. COUNCILMAN ZIMMERMAN HAS NO COMPUTER, AND COUNCILMEMBERS ELVIG AND PEARSON HAVE NONE LISTED. 2). AS TO YOUR QUESTION OF HOW DID I THINK THE PEOPLE ON RIVLYN AVE MIGHT FEEL ABOUT THE "MIXED USE" ZONING. AS I SAID THAT NIGHT, I HAD NOW WAY OF KNOWING AND COULD NOT SAY BECAUSE WE HAD ONLY BEEN GIVEN THE TWO CHOICES 'R' OR 'E' AND THAT YOU KNOW MY FEELING ABOUT WHICH OF THE TWO WE WANT. SINCE NONE OF US HAD HEARD OF THIS ZONING BEFORE YOU'RE BRINGING IT UP AND THERE HAD BEEN NO EXPLANATION OF IT DURING THE COUNCIL MEETING AND NONE OF YOU WHO TALKED WITH ME TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN IT TO ME, I COULD NOT ANSWER FOR MYSELF OR SPEAK FOR ANYONE ELSE. SO, I WILL SURVEY THE PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE NEXT WEEK(S) TO SEE WHERE THEY MIGHT BE AT!!! I WILL SHARE THE RESULTS WITH ALL COUNCILMEMBERS AT ONE OF THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETINGS (or at the Council Planning session if and when it is held.) However, since that night I have obtain copies of the pertinent July and August Council minutes and of the "Mixed Use" zoning language. GUESS WHAT I found ? ?? That You and Councilmembers Kurak, Elvig and Pearson were the makers and seconds of the motions for the language and proper placement within the Ramsey Comprehensive Plan as Amended of MIXED USE - PUD!!!! Would you please share back to me why did not share this with me that night and EXPLAIN JUST WHAT 'MIXED USE' ZONING WAS and how you thought it might applylf 1111 Finding these things out after the fact offends me and my sense of fairness and honesty. (It sure looks like there is behind the scenes motives and intend.) 3). WHERE DO I STAND ON "MIXED USE" FOR MY PROPERTY? -- -BASED ON THE LANGUAGE OF THE DOCUMENTS AND THE FACT THAT THAT LANGUAGE HAD BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE MONDAY, AUGUST 25th, AND THAT I AND OTHERS FROM RIVLYN AVE WERE AT THE COUNCIL MEETING AS MUCH AS ONE (1) HOUR BEFORE THE MEETING, AND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A BREAK JUST BEFORE THE TAKING UP OF OUR REZONING MOTION FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND THAT ONLY ONE OTHER COUNCILMEMBER HAS CONTACTED ANY OF USE
