May 25, 2017 <br />Tim Gladhill <br />Community Development Director <br />City of Ramsey <br />7550 Sunwood Dr. NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />Mr. Gladhill, <br />We are writing this letter to ask your support for the development proposal by Paxmar that will <br />be discussed at the Planning Commission meeting on June 1, 2017. <br />As a large land owner in Ramsey, I'd like to urge the City Council to consider the development <br />proposal by Paxmar in a favorable manner. Paxmar's proposal will provide a variety of housing <br />types and increase the tax base for City of Ramsey while improving the Puma St/Alpine <br />corridor. Hageman Holdings has worked with the City providing flexibility to zoning and <br />improvements in the Bunker Lake/Puma corridor to support growth. The proposed density <br />increase, we feel, fits into the overall growth vision of Hageman Holdings and City of Ramsey. <br />As a business owner, I know we look favorable on a community that has a growing variety of <br />housing stock. It is not only valuable from a workforce point of view, but also addition potential <br />customers. The City of Ramsey has invested a large amount of money into the business park <br />and COR areas which by approving this housing project will do nothing but help these areas <br />grow and thrive. <br />Additional reasons for the support of the PAXMAR development include: <br />Puma Street extension: <br />The Puma Street extension is an estimated $1.4 million -dollar project. Paxmar is willing to pay <br />60% of that cost, reducing the City and adjacent landowners share of the project. <br />13200 43rd St. N.E. • P.O.
