I do not feel that the proposed sketch plans are a wise "fit" for the immediate neighborhood which surrounds <br />Haubricht parcel(s). The 30 or so single-family homes which currently occupy the mile-long cul-de-sac are all <br />similarly designed and of nearly-like values. While the rezoning of the other parcels in the neighborhood is not <br />being discussed, changing the zoning and density of the Haubricht parcel does have the residual effect of <br />changing the housing density of the surrounding area. <br /> <br />Community Growth: <br />The close proximity to current (and possibly upgraded) transit options make the 2,500 townhome units proposed <br />in the Ramsey Town Center plans ideal. The designers and planning committee should be applauded for their <br />vision. I have concerns that the recent amount of city-wide townhome development AND any similar future <br />developments within the city will make these mod/high-density units harder to sell - thus slowing down initial <br />residential occupancy and ultimately making the planned retail launch more difficult to execute on schedule, feel <br />that any impediments to the success of the Town Center project will be felt city-wide as we try to compete for <br />financial infrastructure support from county, state and federally-funded programs. <br /> <br />Thank you for your attention to my concerns. I can be contacted by phone at 763-427-7454 and/or by e-mail at <br />matt(~tewsinteractive.com if you have any questions. I will be in attendance at the Sketch Plan Review meeting <br />on Thursday, February 2ncl and look forward to hearing how the concerns of the city and it's residents are <br />communicated to the MN Skyline Partners. <br /> <br />-Matt <br /> <br />Matt Tews <br />Tews Interactive <br />5844 '[51st Lane NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />763-712-8555 <br />httg:llwv~w Tewslnteractive.¢c~rn <br />Matt(~ Tewslnteractive,com <br /> <br />57 <br /> <br /> <br />
