- 2 - <br /> <br />attractive to industry and would serve as a buffer zone between existing <br />residential areas and the railroad/highway environmental disturbances <br />and other nuisance factors. <br /> <br /> 3. That portion of the north half of Section 19 lying northeasterly <br />of the Burlington Northern Railroad; all of Section 18 except the two <br />properties (25 acres and 7.875 acre parcels not owned by General Mills, <br />Inc.) on the west edge of the City; the west quarter of Section 17; and <br />~e west half of the northwest quarter of Section 20. We feel this land <br />should be zoned UMB (which we understand will include office parks, light <br />industry, motels and allied activities). This will be necessary in order <br />to keep all of the City's options open and maintain the greatest amount <br />of flexibility which will be needed to attract high quality private <br />enterprise. Further, this would give the City the highly desirable U~B <br />classification on its western environs. <br /> <br /> 4. The proposed Municipal Park on the north and east side of Lake <br />Itasca containing approximately 250 acres. We feel that a park desig- <br />nation at this time is premature since parks should be located in such <br />a way as to best serve the City's citizens. It might well be desirable <br />to have some park setting on this property at some time in the future, <br />but only after planned development of the entire parcel occurs. <br /> <br />We would be grateful if you would favorably consider the above requests, <br />and, of course, we will be available to appear before the Council and <br />Planning Commission to amplify our remarks in the event you so desire. <br /> <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />SVT: jmj <br />cc:~--Planning Commission <br /> City of Ramsey <br /> <br />Lloyd Schnelle <br />Administrator <br />City of Ramsey <br /> <br /> <br />
