<br />~ <br /> <br />3. No direct or indirect assessments to rliDt~ood I caused <br />by Flintwood II (new development can and ohould pay its <br />own way). <br />4. No high opeed through traffic.' <br /> <br />"As you may recall. we negotiated in two meetings on the Flintwood II PUD <br />and agreed to allow a lower density housing than Mr. Carson proposed with <br />suitable buffer opace under the following conditions: <br /> <br />1. Berm <br />2. Planted trees <br />3. A neighborhood aosociation to maintain Flintwood II property. <br />4. Attractive, carriage style homes with beautiful landscaped yards. <br /> <br />Well, this developer and the City of Ramsey have let uS down. <br /> <br />1. We have no berm or any buffer zone. <br />2. Not one tree was planted in the buffer zone. <br />3. No assocaition ~as created to maintain property- <br />4. The homes built right next to our neighborhood are without <br />landscaping aod are tbe smallest. cheapest houses in the vhole <br />FlintwoOd II development. Average price probably $30,000 - <br />$50,000 less than in Flintwood I. <br /> <br />Let me sucmarize by saying: <br /> <br />1. I am disappointed and insulted that we are conoidering a plan to <br />pu~ apartment buildings and office buildingo right next to my yard <br />and my neighboro. Furthermore, I have loot confidence in this <br />developer to keep his promises and tbe City to look after my beot <br />interests. <br /> <br />2. I specifically do not want the requested development on outlots M <br />N becluse of: <br /> <br />a. A serious reduction in my property value. <br />b. Loos of privacy and living quality. <br />c. Loss of all tbe trees in those lots when a large apartmen~, <br />garages and paved parking areas are put in. <br />d. Loss of night-time darkneso caused by yard lighto associated <br />with ~bis type of development. <br />e. Loss of security due to high density/low cost housing. <br />f. Location not good for residen~s of apartments either. <br /> <br />In conclusion. I and ~y neighbors wa~t this request for preliminary plat <br />approval for outlots Hand N stopped dead in it's tracks. Based on earlier <br />experiences with Flintwood !I, I offer no compromise position short of <br />either no development or a single f~ily home similar in value, lot size <br />and si~ilar in lot character to ny O~~. <br /> <br />I would also like to ir.vite tbis CC~~i5sicn to my ho~e =or a personally <br />guided tour." <br /> <br />. & Z/'ublic Eearing/December 1, 1987 <br /> <br />'age 4 of 6 <br /> <br />6~ <br />
