Ramsey Planning and Zoning Commission 15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W. Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 August 24, 1987 Re: Barton Sand and Gravel Conditional Use Permit to establish bituminous a~phalt operations RECEI\,'ED To Whom It May Concern: In regard to the Barton Sand and Gravel proposed asphalt plant we would like the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider the following facts: Directly across Highway 10 is Small World Daycare Center which has approxi- mately 70 children registered. In the adjacent properties there is Small World Daycare Center, Oakrid~e Construction & Realty, Inc., Chips on 10, Super Bowl, Northern Oxygen, a church and seven residences immediately south. An asphalt plant will be a direct health hazard for the children plus the residents. The installation of a asphalt plant~.would, d~rectly affect and lower the property values in the immediate area. Truck traffic with an entrance and exit to the site would be hazardous to everyone traveling Highway 10. The smell from the plant would be obnoxious and cause health hazards to anyone living or conducting a business to the area. If the city of Ramsey wants future development, then this type of business will only become a detriment to the community. With many other cities now working hard at eliminating asphalt plants from their communities how can we even consider the installation of this type of business? Your· consideration to this matter is much appreciated and a vote of "no" is essential to t~e safe~y of existing businesses and residences. k~_~akridge Co~st~uc Ao~ & Realty, Mary ~ S~ntyrz / ~ec~r · , Small World Daycare Center Inc.
