It <br />is my understanding that there will be a hearing on Thursday February 24th for <br />residents of Ramsey to discuss the rezoning of this land. Unfortunately, I am unable to <br />attend in person or via the virtual meeting, so I am hoping this letter finds itself in the <br />appropriate hands regarding concerns for the development of this land parcel. <br />As a resident of Ramsey for more than twenty years, I have seen the progress and <br />change of this beautiful city. When my husband and I first moved to Ramsey we were in <br />love with the "country feel." Beautiful parks, majestic forests, and an extensive trail <br />system. Sadly, we have watched the horizon of Ramsey change. Land developers have <br />snatched up the land and built houses on top of one another. I understand with <br />growth there also comes development. I also have noticed that Ramsey seems to have <br />lost focus on what this City used to be known for, large land lots, nature parks and <br />trails, quiet neighborhoods. Rezoning residential land for other purposes is the exact <br />opposite of what Ramsey strives to be. Ramsey needs more homes to increase land <br />value and have the money to improve the whole of our town, a community center, <br />better parks and trails, more public schools. With such a beautiful landscape, Ramsey <br />should be proud of how much natural and untouched earth we have. We are unlike any <br />other suburb of the metro area in that we still have undeveloped land, and many of our <br />residents were drawn to this area because of this. <br />
