Hey Chloe, <br />Me again. If I understood correctly, those two huge plots of land are zoned for city sewer and <br />water — so the housing development, I'm assuming, is going to happen at some point. Am I <br />correct in that? If that is the case, then please keep the lots to 80' which is what you said in the <br />letter they are currently zoned for. Please, again, I am asking that Ramsey's Planning <br />Commission decline the rezoning application as that would directly affect us where we live. We <br />are on the corner lot on 168th & Variolite. <br />Second, at the townhall meeting online, the host of the meeting asked for ideas and suggestions <br />on how we might keep our rural feel. I don't know if there's really any way that can happen, but <br />an idea I had to keep our `woodsy — rural' feel would be to do what was done along Variolite on <br />the east side of the road, south of 161st. I do really like to walk along that tarred path that runs <br />underneath the trees up by where the gun club used to be. There is a buffer zone of trees which <br />is so nice. It's nice to be off the road as Variolite has become a busy road as well. We've <br />appreciated that. <br />So, maybe something similar could be done on the east side of the Variolite where that new <br />development is being proposed. You could do that from Trott Brook up to the farm house and <br />do what's necessary to not have to cut down trees along the road. Minimize using the wooded <br />areas and build where it's already wide open with no trees. That way there would be beautiful <br />trees lining Variolite's east side of the road. Does that make sense? It would also give people <br />more of a sense of privacy which is what many of us are used to. <br />I actually really do love our new wooden walking path on the east side just up from our property <br />on 168th & Variolite and that tarred path that runs under the trees north of us closer to the new <br />development. <br />I want to help, not complain, and I so I hope that all of you on the planning commission know <br />that. You've got a big job for sure and I'm trusting that you'll have our best interest at the <br />forefront. Thanks for all you do and all the help you've been, Chloe, with all of my concerns and <br />questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jill Winger <br />7610 168th Ave NW <br />
