<br />. <br /> <br />August 22, 1985 <br /> <br />Mr. Lloyd Schnelle <br />City Adrninistrator <br />Ramsey Municipal Center <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />RE: Proposed Airport <br />Dear Mr. Schnelle: <br /> <br />I attended the Airport COmnission meeting at the Ramsey City Hall <br />last evening. We were told that we could address our camnents to you <br />with regard to our feelings on this matter. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />We built our harre in Ramsey 12-1/2 years ago. We purchased our <br />lot three years prior to that, before the airport was in existence at <br />its present site. We were attracted to this area because of the <br />quiet, country-type atrrosphere that is offered in this corrmunity. To <br />expand the present airport, which is big enough as far as I'm <br />concerned, would diminish the peaceful atrrosphere that draws so many <br />people to live in this area. <br /> <br />Both nw husband and I are originally from Brooklyn Center. If we <br />had wanted city life, we would have stayed there. We chose to live in <br />Ramsey because it afforded us the quality of life that we wanted for <br />our family. Please don't destroy this by enlarging the airport, thus <br />attracting the kind of atmosphere that we rroved away from. <br /> <br />It was very evident at the neeting last night that this <br />idea is an extremely unpopllar one. I do not feel that this proposal <br />would benefit the residents of our city. I realize that progress is <br />important, but there has to be a better way to achieve this goal. To <br />quote a concerned citizen from last night's meeting, "If having an <br />airport of this size is such a "plum," then why isn't every city <br />clamroring for one?" <br /> <br />Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. <br /> <br />jb <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />cc: City of Ransey Airport Carmission <br />
