July 28, 2023 <br />City of Ramsey <br />Attn: Todd Larson, Planning Manager <br />7550 Sunwood Dr NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />Re: Haviland Fields EAW <br />To Whom it May Concern: <br />Minnesota Rule 4410.1100 requires that EAWs shall address "known government approvals, <br />reviews, or financing required, applied for, or anticipated and the status of any applications <br />made, including permit conditions that may have been ordered or are being considered". <br />Additionally, page 8 of the EAW states that the applicant is supposed to list "all direct and <br />indirect forms of public financial assistance including bond guarantees, Tax Increment <br />Financing, and infrastructure". <br />Despite these requirements, the Haviland Fields EAW makes no reference to and does not <br />address the Business Assistance Application for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) made to the City <br />of Ramsey and reviewed by the City of Ramsey Economic Development Authority at their July <br />13, 2023 meeting. <br />Therefore, the Haviland Fields EAW does not meet the EAW Content requirements established <br />by Minnesota Rule 4410.1100 and should not have been distributed for public comment as it <br />contains insufficient information to adequately be reviewed by residents of the community. The <br />City Council should find the EAW insufficient and require an additional public comment period <br />once the required information on public financing is included within the EAW. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ramsey Resident <br />
