August 2!,. 1981 <br /> <br />Ramsey Board of Adjustment <br />15153 Nc,~,then Blvd. N.W. <br />Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 <br /> <br />Dear Sirs: <br /> <br />As the owners/occupants of the property at 15250 Nc~.,~then Blvd. N.W., we object <br />and ore opposed to the building of a superette with ga~ pumps on the Marx Addition, <br />James Refrigeration Company, 152XX Nc~,then Blvd. N.~. property. <br /> <br />We Feel this will just create too much traffic, no[se and congestion in the area. <br />~/e do not enjoy the idea of this type of business, possibly a 24 hr. operation, <br />across the road from us. We do not feel it is necessary. We came to the area <br />because of its rural atmosphere. We left the city and its conveniences to enjoy the <br />open land. We feel this will be taken away from u~ as our ai'ea becomes more <br />commercial. <br /> <br />A superette with gas pumps is not a very eye appealing business. They us0ally have <br />debris littering their parking lot and surrounding property. Thls certainly will <br />detract from our new City Hall with the nlce grounds and the neat dentlstsI <br />building wlth their professionally landscaped yard. <br /> <br />We also feel thls could be a potential hazard to the school children with more of them <br />on busy County 5.. because of the superette being attractive to them. <br /> <br />What will happen at .t he corner of 153rd and Nowthen Blvd. in the spring when the <br />melting snow and raln and added runoff~ because of the additional blacktop from <br />parking lots, fills the ditch and rum across the road? This was a problem a few years <br />ago, since 153rd has been blacktopped and the dentists' building was built. The <br />water was running across the road for a couple of days before the county pumped some <br />water out of the ditches. They also had to put up warning lights because of the water <br />running across the road and freezing in the evening hours. <br /> <br />Also~ we do not feel th[s plan was presented to the surrounding population in a fair <br />manner. In legal notices in the Union it has always been referred to as Marx Addition, <br />James Refr]geratlon Company. Thls name if very misleading as it does not glve a <br />true idea of the type of business that is actually ~nvolved. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />
