Nw. We received the notice of the 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 County 47 (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 up 47 towards Alpine? I'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 /> A second 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 cul-de-sac wait to enter traffic onto Xkimo St. <br /> 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 would look like? Can you confirm if <br /> these will be single family owned homes vs. multi-unit or rented properties? <br /> Other questions would be: <br /> Is the final review/approval something that citizens have a vote regarding? <br /> Is this city owned property or privately held? <br />
