City of Ramsey I Community Development <br />Our Mission: To work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-effective, <br />and efficient government services. <br />From: Kichardx.8ai|ey <br />Sent: Monday, July 6,202O4:Z6Pk4 <br />To: Chloe McGuire 8ri8| <br />Cc: 'rjeo13@gmaiicom' <br />Subject: Project 28'117 <br />Hi Chloe, <br />K4yname isRick Bailey, and | live @ 5O21XkimoCt.Nvv.VVereceived the notice ofthe sketch plan <br />application for Project #20-117 in our cul-de-sac, and had a few questions/concerns I'm hoping you <br />can assist with. <br />The biggest question/concern around the project for us is a potential increase to an already <br />problematic noise level. Since the building of Stoney River across County47 (which seems to deflect <br />traffic noise in our direction), coupled with a noticeable increase in traffic in general, noise volumes <br />are already undesirably high. The only noise buffer we have between us and 47 are the woods on <br />the property being discussed for development. Regarding this, could there be included a <br />requirement of any developer to preserve some of the woods as well as have them be responsible <br />for building a high quality noise barrier, similar to what exists farther up47towards Alpine? |'m <br />hoping something of this nature would both help control the noise issue as well as preserving a <br />balance of urban and rural/nature that Ramsey values. <br />Asecond question/concern' would be around the increase in traffic. Xkimo St, which we intersect <br />with, has a particularly high level of traffic given the presence of Holiday, and as it's used as a <br />thoroughfare for other neighborhoods, causing a bottleneck near the traffic lights. What this means <br />for us, is that it can be a challenge to get out of the cul-de-sac because traffic actually blocks our <br />street depending on the time of day. Adding 4 more households seems like it would exacerbate the <br />issue, not to mention the morning traffic may cause the driveways of the new homes to be blocked <br />while others in the cu|'de'sacwait to enter traffic onto Xkimo St. <br />I also wanted to find out more on the type of homes that are being considered. Is there a photo/ <br />nearby development that could be a reference for what these vvuu|d look like? Can you confirm if <br />these will besingle family owned homes vs. multi -unit orrented properties? <br />Other questions would be: <br />Is the final review/approval something that citizens have a vote regarding? <br />|sthis city owned property orprivately held? <br />
