MuNSTENTEiGER. ~BEARSE & PARTA LAW OFF~.E~ (612) 42"7-6~00 ANOKA PROFF__-~$1ONAL BUILDING SUITE 301 403 JACK~ON STREET ANOKA, MINNESOTA 55303 January 14, 1977 Mr. Alexander L. Dean 300 Metro Square Building 7th & Robert Sts. St. Paul~ MN 55101 The purpose of this letter is to respond to your verbal request for formal documentation of the request ']:~ the City of Ramsey to extend the 30-day period for negotiating differences with respect to the Preliminary Metropolitan System Statement which you delivered to the City of Ramsey on November 23, 1976. Since that date, the City Council has reviewed the document, as well as the preliminary staff draft critique of the comprehensive plan amendment which had been submitted to the M~tropolitan Council by the City of Ramsey last spring. Both of these documents and recent adjus~nents in the Champlain-Anoka-Brooklyn Park interceptor study report contained basic data concerns for the City of Ramsey. The outcome of the discussions at the meeting held with you and other Metropolitan staff members on December 29 leads us to believe that there is a reasonable possibility of working out the different positions which currently exist between the council and the City of Ramsey with respect to data and its use. We, therefore, agree that the review period should be extended with the understanding that either party may request that the review be terminated with reasonable notice in the event that progress is not being made towards resolving the basic issues. Your 'letter of November 24, 1976 to Mr. Gary C~rham outlines generally the basic areas of concern and disagreement. We are extremely concerned that the population projection reviews which are currently on their way be accomplished on time in order that this whole matter can be .exloedited in the interest of developing firm plans in the City of Ramsey. We are also concerned that the City be notified of and have the opportunity to attend any discussion of changes in policy or basic data involving the CAB committee report and its relationship to basic assumptions that find their way into both the System Statement and the critique of the Ramsey City Plan.
