REC'D AR 0 i <br /> <br />NICHOLAS AND SHELLY MATTSON <br /> <br />February 26, 2004 <br /> <br />Ramsey City Council <br />15 t 53 Nowthen Blvd NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Dear Council Members. <br /> <br />We are writing regarding the public hearing on Tuesday, March 9, 2004. We are not able to attend <br />and would like our views known. Our street was repaved a few years ago and we are still paying <br />on it. It is in fairly decent shape now. There are other streets in Ramsey that are much worse than <br />ours. It doesn't seem fair that we have to once again pay for road improvements that should <br />already be covered by our taxes. The city we lived in before Ramsey did not assess charges to the <br />homeowner for road improvements, as this was paid for in our taxes. Many other cities do not <br />assess for this either. We do not want to add another assessment to our already high enough taxes. <br />The City of Ramsey has more tax money than ever before due to all the new home construction. <br />You are letting almost every available acre be taken by developers to build more homes. Ramsey <br />Towne Center will bring in millions of tax dollars every year. We are opposed to this project <br />unless the city will pay for it. In the meantime, maybe you should work on paving Chameleon <br />Street, as halfofthe residents who live there drive on our paved street so they don't have to go so <br />far in the dirt. Paving Chameleon Street would save on the wear and tear of 176th Lane. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Nick and Shelly Mattson <br /> <br /> <br />
