Dfie ~ the nature of the operation of these businesses, there have been some concerns <br />as to the aesthetics and the effect of these business expansions and possible locations to existing <br />businesses. B~sinesses that have spent extensive funds maintaining and developing their facilities <br />have directed.~on¢.erns to the City Council as to the possibility of improving the appearance of the <br />industrial parkiar~a~. In the past, we have discussed the possibility of developing a program for the <br />improvement Of thD area. However, much of this discussion has faltered due to a perceived lack <br />of interest frOn~ th~ area businesses. Now that the area businesses have expressed a direct interest <br />in the improYe~ne~i~ of the visual aesthetics of the area, it may be a good time to plan a meeting with <br />ali property ov~net~ in the area to develop a strategy for an improved appearance of the area overall. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Based upon th~ letters the City has received, I would recommend that the EDC schedule a meeting <br />for Wednesday, November 18, 1992 at 7:00 p.m. at Ramsey Municipal Center with all the local <br />property ownea's i~ this area to devise a strategy by which to improve the aesthetics of the area. <br />This meeting s~otili:l include members of the EDC, property owners in the Ramsey Industrial Park <br />area, membersof.~City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission as input from all sides <br />will be needed on ;how to effectively use this area as a showcase of what Ramsey has to offer <br />business. : <br /> <br />Commission :,Action: <br />Motion to schedule meeting with property owners in Ramsey Industrial Park to discuss aesthetic <br />improvements~n that area. <br /> <br />Review CheCklist: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Project ManagOr <br /> <br />EDC: 10/14/92 <br /> <br />19, <br /> <br /> <br />
