August 22, 1985 <br /> <br />Mr. Lloyd Sc~elle <br />City Administrator <br />Ramsey M~nicipal Center <br />Ramsay, ~ .i55303 <br /> <br />RE: Pro~sed Airport <br /> ! <br />Dear Mr, $chnelle: <br /> I attended the Airport Cu,,~ssion meeting at the Ramsey City Hall <br />last evening, We were told that we could address our ccmmr~nts to you <br />with regakd to our feelings on this matter. <br /> <br /> We bBilt our home in Ramsey 12-1/2 years ago. We purchased our <br />lot three!iyears 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, w~,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 from 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 thatwe 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~s very evident at the meeting last night that this <br />idea is an extremely unpopular one. I do not feel that this proposal <br />would ben, fit 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 c~ncerned 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 />ctanmo~ing for one?" <br /> <br />jb <br /> <br />Tha~ <br /> <br />you for your time and consideration in this matter. <br /> ~cerely, ~ <br /> <br /> /oan Balabon ~ <br /> <br />cc: C£~y~o~r~Ramsey Airport C~ssion <br /> <br /> <br />
