Nichoie O'Connell <br />5590 152" Lane <br />Ramsey, MlN 55303 <br />(763)767-2429 <br />September 1, 2005 <br />Planning Commission <br />City of Ramsey <br />Ramsey Fire Station <br />15050 Armstrong Blvd. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />Re: The Meadows Plan Review <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />I am writing in regard to the new proposed development in my area known as the <br />Meadows. I am a new resident to the City of Ramsey, having moved in mid June. Prior <br />to our purchasing the home located at 5590 152❑d Lane, I contacted the City asking what, <br />if any plans were in the works or in the preliminary stages, or what, if anything, they <br />could tell me about the undeveloped land adjacent to our property. At that time, the only <br />information they had was a potential new school, however, they were concerned with <br />funding and holding the land for another 5 years. I was, at that time, hoping for a new <br />park/trail area in the undeveloped land since there are no parks within a one mile radius <br />of our development and we have 40 + children in our development. <br />I never did receive notification of the proposed Meadows development, but was informed <br />by a neighbor that they were going to develop said area and had proposed residential <br />homes. I was also told that one access to the Meadows was proposed in our <br />development, which consists of approximately 39 homes with a population of 40 +/- <br />children with an average age of approximately 6. <br />I am very concerned about having a through street in our development because for the <br />past seven years the children of our development have had free reign of the streets due to <br />no sidewalks, walking paths, trails of any kind. With their being no access to other areas, <br />we get very little traffic. I cannot think of a better location to have my children grow up. <br />I've never, until now, lived in an area with a dead end, but now that they are proposing to <br />develop this area and open up our dead end for through'traffic, I cannot think of anything <br />worse. The results of this could and would be catastrophic. There will be so many <br />—252— <br />
