Introduction - A Letter From the LLC <br /> <br />19 February 2004 <br /> <br />Mayor, City Council, Parks and Recreation Commission and <br />City Staff <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />RE: Ramsey Town Center Parks Proposal <br /> <br />To everyone who worked so hard to make this happen; <br /> <br />We are pleased to present this proposal, in which we describe our ongoing commitment to work with the City of <br />Ramsey to help create exemplary public parks that not only serve the emerging Town Center, but also' the rest of <br />the city. From our earliest discussions we've promoted a strong network of greenspace and trail connections weav- <br />ing through the various districts illustrated' in the Master Plan. With this proposal we move one step closer to <br />turning these exciting ideas into reality. <br /> <br />Much of this proposal is based on the plans and photographic images contained in the power-point presentation <br />we made to a joint meeting of the Mayor, City Council, Parks and Recreation Commission and City Staff late last <br />year. There seemed to be a great deal of positive response and general consensus from ali participants at that time, <br />with an understanding that more detailed design and cost information would follow. <br /> <br />Building on this solid foundation of previous conceptual design work, we've spent much of the last six weeks <br />exploring various components of each park in more detail, with emphasis on stormwater elements, trail layout, <br />site grading, bridge crossings, swim pond feasibility and other amenities. In addition, we've provided summary cost <br />estimates for each park, suggested phasing strategy and proposed role of the' LLC in terms of park and trail funding <br />and plan implementation. <br /> <br />We recognize the significance of this component of the overall development; it is crucial for everyone that these <br />parks truly become signatures for the Town Center. We look forward to upcoming review meetings and detailed <br />critique as we look ahead to this spring and groundbreaking for phase one park construction. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />John Feges <br />Title <br /> <br />Bruce Nedegaard <br />title <br /> <br />2 Parks, Trails, Open Space Proposal <br /> Ramse'y Town Center LLC <br /> <br /> <br />
