- NORTH STAR PROGRAMS DAY ClMPlNG. RMA ""IG. CN<<)EING Hay 19, 1986 Anne Norris, City Planner City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W. Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 Dear Ms. Norris: As discussed earlier, an application is to be sent in for conditional use related to our tubing program on the Rum River. I have just discovered to my dismay that the permit had not been sent in to you prior to this letter. I have included a copy of the conditional use permit which you had requested, and also have included specific information on our intentions for administering such a program. RUM RIVER TUBING PROGRAM: 1. A license has been granted by Anoka County Parks and Rec- recreation, and the County Attorney's office regarding river tubing and canoeing services through Northstar. 2. A permit request has been submitted to the D.N.R. regarding permanent wooden steps to be constructed at three points on the river, within Anoka County/City of Ramsey jurisdiction. These steps would be constructed similar to those leading into the river at Rum River North County Park in st. Francis. The steps would be .of railroad tie construction, and would be reinforced by large rocks. The purpose would be to help facilitate and concentrate foot traffic at each access point, and to keep river bank degradation to a minimum. 3. A conditional use permit is requested of the City of Ramsey to allow for the river tUbing service to operate, and to allow for a temporary-seasonal 12' floating dock to be utilized at the tube ending point on the river, to help aid participants in getting out of the river. 4. Mesh-type "onion bag" containers will be attached to every Northstar tube/raft going down the river. 5. "No alcohol" agreement signed by tubing participants. 6. Portable ~'estrooms available at three points along the river, on public park property, placed 150' from the river banks. 7. Private property trespassing is prohibited by signed agree- ment, with monitoring/enforcement provided by security staff and Park Rangers. . 8. Non-returnable containers, styrofoam and glass containers, will not be allowed on the river. 9. Liability insurance coverage is provided by Northstar. Due to program starting dates, we would appreciate a hearing on this conditional use permit, to be scheduled for your next City Council meeting which I understand to be Tuesday, June 2nd. Thank you for your consideration. s~ncer~ itt:i:.edman '-",- 9 P.O. BOX 33268 MINNEAPOLIS. MINNESOTA 55433 (612) 78C1-5060
