Mr. Lloyd Schnelle <br />City Administrator <br />Ramsey M.uni¢ipal Center <br />Ramsey, ~ 55303 <br /> <br />RE: Pro~p~sedAirport <br /> <br />Dear Mr. $chnelle: <br /> <br />August 22, 1985 <br /> <br /> I attended the Airport Cu(m~ssionmeeting at the Ramsey City Hall <br />last evenirg. We were told that we could address our comments to you <br />with regard to our feelings on this matter. <br /> <br /> We built our home in Ramsey 12-1/2 years ago. We purchased our <br />lot three years prior to that, before the airport was in existence at <br />its present site. We were attracted to this area because of the <br />quiet, country-type atmosphere that is offered in this community. To <br />expand the present airport, which is big enough as far as I'm <br />concerned, wO~ld diminish the peaceful atmosphere that draws so many <br />people to. live in this area. <br /> <br /> Both my husband and I are originally frc~ Brooklyn Center. If we <br />had wanted city life, we would have stayed there. We chose to live in <br />Ramsey becauSe it afforded us the quality of life that we wanted for <br />our family. Please don't destroy this by enlarging the airport, thus <br />attracting the kind of atmosphere that we moved away from. <br /> <br /> It was very evident at the meeting last night that this <br />idea is an extremelyunpopular one. I do not feel that this proposal <br />would benefit the residents of our city. I realize that progress is <br />important, but there has to be a better way to achieve this goal. To <br />quote a concerned citizen from last night's meeting, "If having an <br />airport of this size is such a "plum," then why isn't every city <br />clanxnoring for one?" <br /> <br />Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. <br /> <br />cerely, ~ <br /> <br /> Balabon ~ <br /> <br />jb <br /> <br />cc: Cityiof Ran~ey Airport C~-~-,~ssion <br /> <br /> <br />
