• Fifth, the benefit to us is to stop ACE, an agent of the City of Ramsey, from further damaging, <br />trespassing, and conducting unsafe turnarounds on our property. The other waste haulers servicing <br />Potassium St NW don't turnaround in our front yard so,we won't spend $21,500 to benefit ACE. <br />• Sixth, between our building permit (over $6,000) and our current annual property taxes (over $5,000 <br />with more than 35% going to the City of Ramsey) we believe the city demanding us to pay 100% for a <br />cul-de-sac on someone else's property to benefit ACE is absurd. <br />Bruce, we appreciate meeting with you and your work to resolve the matter. We understand you are the <br />messenger of the cost -share amounts based on the proposed agreement from the city attorney. We do find <br />the cost -share amounts as initially proposed extremely disappointing. After what we believe are several <br />missteps by the City of Ramsey, aggressive and intimidating actions toward us with respect to this dispute, the <br />city attorney's proposal suggesting we pay 100% of the construction costs is outrageous. <br />Again, as a gesture of good -faith which seems to extend in only one direction, in our opinion, our offer is to <br />contribute $3,000 to the cost of the cul-de-sac construction. As a condition of this contribution, we would <br />require a settlement agreement confirming that among other things, the City of Ramsey has no recorded or <br />unrecorded easements on our property. <br />We look forwarding to hearing back from you. <br />Thanks, <br />Ron Schmitz <br />From: Bruce Westby <bwestby@ci.ramsey.mn.us> <br />Sent: Friday, August 18, 2017 3:28 PM <br />To: Ron Schmitz; Shannon Schmitz <br />Cc: Charlie@gilbertalden.com; Kurt Ulrich; Joe Langel <br />Subject: Proposed Potassium Street Aggregate Cul-De-Sac Cost -Share Amounts <br />Good afternoon, Ron and Shannon. <br />As we discussed last Friday, the City received quotes yesterday for constructing a temporary aggregate surfaced cul-de- <br />sac located on the north end of Potassium Street, south of your property per design option #2. Below are all costs <br />proposed to be paid by each party based on the lowest quote, on Hakanson Anderson's engineering fees for the final <br />plans and specifications used to solicit quotes, and on the City Attorney's cost -share proposal as submitted to your <br />attorney on May 1st <br />City's obligations: <br />• Obtain consent from property owners to provide easements, draft and record easement <br />agreements. $ 3,500 <br />• Retain Hakanson Anderson to design the requisite plans and <br />specifications. $ 3,800 <br />2 <br />
