1661 ! Coquina Street N.W. <br />Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 <br /> <br />June 2, 2003 <br /> <br />Mr. Chris Anderson <br />City of R:amsey <br />15610 N0wthen Bird <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Chris Anderson: <br /> <br />Thank you for the telephone conversation that we had on. Tuesday, May 27, 2003. You <br />were very helpful in providing me with the information.I was looking for regarding <br />Ramsey City Ordinances related to fencing and .horses. <br /> <br />We are relieved to know that Ramsey must approve any fence that is not made Of wood <br />or chain link. The homeowners at 16620 Zirconium Street have plans to place a high- <br />voltage electric fence on their property line that runs up against our backyard along with <br />many oth~:r residential homes on Coquina and Zirconium Streets. We urge the City of <br />Ramsey to reject any such proposal for this property. <br /> <br />We have young children and we strongly object to having an electrical fence running on <br />our property line where our children play. Electrical fences only belong on non- <br />residential settings. The City of Ramsey must reject any request that endangers people. <br /> <br />Additionally, Bruce and Karen Kunzak, the homeowners at 16620 Zirconium, have <br />informed the neighbors they intend to destroy the extensive stand of trees that border <br />their l0 acre property. The City of Ramsey is a Tree City. We, along with many of our <br />neighbors, oppose any effort to destroy the hundreds of Norfolk Pines that border the <br />property at issue here. As a Tree City, what will Ramsey do to conserve trees that these <br />residents seek to destroy for no purpose? <br /> <br />We will keep in close contact with the City of Ramsey until this matter has been resolved <br />in a manner that is in the best interest of the community. Please inform me when the <br />Community Development Committee will consider this matter. We and our neighbors <br />would like an opportunity for public input to this committee before any decision is made. <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Bo Kleckner-Thiele and Dean Thiele <br /> <br />Cc: Bruce; Bacon, Environmental Specialist <br />Cc: James Norman, City Administrator <br />Cc: Sylvia Frolik, Community Development Director <br />Cc: David Elvig, Ramsey City Councilmember <br /> <br /> <br />
