We live S houses away from the proposed building site, yet we are not in the Anoka/Hennepin <br /> school district. PACT schools would provide transportation only within Anoka/Hennepin school <br /> district boundaries. Why put a school at the very edge of the district boundaries?We already have <br /> bus traffic from Anoka/Hennepin schools as well as Elk River schools. I watch the buses follow one <br /> another through the neighborhood. It seems futile to add a third bussing route to these <br /> neighborhoods. It would make more sense for PACT to build more centrally located to either their <br /> elementary school or more central within the transportation limits. <br /> Has there been a traffic study to account for increase travel from the new construction of the new <br /> neighborhood north on Variolite?As well as church traffic, high school traffic, football game traffic, <br /> bus routes from three districts, and fall/spring sports utilizing Central Park? <br /> Have there been studies done for drainage? <br /> A PACT Charter expansion is a wonderful idea and would be a fine addition to the City of Ramsey. <br /> The proposed location for the high school is not ideal and it would behoove the City to entertain <br /> other areas for a proposed location.There are many areas of Ramsey that can accommodate the <br /> expansion for PACT that would not require rezoning land that is already zoned residential. The <br /> residents of the surrounding neighborhoods are not in favor of the proposal. We would rather see <br /> Ramsey expand the parks system and use that land for bike trails or walking trails. Update the <br /> playground. Create a parks and recreation program within the city that can not only create jobs for <br /> our youth, but also create revenue for the city. Keep Ramsey pristine in nature. The loyal Ramsey <br /> residents don't want to see the landscape of our beautiful town get replaced with buildings and box <br /> houses. <br /> Finally, upon doing a bit of research, it appears that several members of the city council have <br /> affiliations with PACT. I would hope these members would recuse themselves from voting on this <br /> matter as it is a conflict of interest. <br /> Thank you for your time, <br /> Ashley Pflager <br /> Ramsey resident <br />
