CAPSTONE <br />January 21, 2020 <br />Tim Gladhill <br />Deputy City Administrator <br />City of Ramsey <br />7550 Sunwood Drive NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />HOMES <br />RE: Road Connection to North Fork <br />Dear Tim — <br />Thank you for bringing to our attention last week that the City would like the developer to consider revising the <br />Riverstone Preliminary Plat to include a through street to the proposed new North Fork neighborhood to the west. <br />After careful consideration, we do not feel the change would benefit Riverstone or North Fork for the following <br />reasons: <br />• Both neighborhoods flow well without the connection. <br />• It would benefit very few homeowners in either neighborhood to provide access to Alpine. <br />• Both neighborhoods offer a unique setting, adding a connection would minimize that uniqueness. <br />• The Developer would be willing to provide a sidewalk connection in the location where the utilities will <br />be extended as highlighted below. This will not significantly impact the current design of the <br />neighborhood. <br />• Finally, the road layout was previously approved as it stands today. This consideration was not a <br />contingency of the previously approved Riverstone Preliminary Plat. <br />As we've mentioned previously, we are grateful to the City of Ramsey for its continued partnership with Capstone <br />Homes to bring high quality housing to the residents for Ramsey. <br />Regards, <br />Heather Lorch <br />Land Manager <br />CAPSTONE HOMES, INC. <br />14015 SUNFISH LAKE BLVD, SUITE 400 I RAMSEY, MN 55303 <br />0: 763-427-3090 I F: 763-712-9060 <br />
