It must be located at least 50 feet from <br />any structure or vehicle. Burning barrels are prohibited. <br />Use only dry, clean wood. Plywood, chipboard and other <br />products containing resins or glues are strictly prohibited. Painted and <br />preservative- treated wood scraps can give off toxic smoke. Don't inhale! <br />Running grass fires are prohibited, except for prairie restoration. Burning <br />leaves, grass and debris is also prohibited. <br />Recreational burning is allowed only between the hours of 6 <br />p.m. and 6 a.m. Fires must be attended by an adult at all times until <br />completely extinguished. A garden hose connected to water should be <br />nearby. Violations can be subject to a citation, including extinguishment <br />charges of $250 per hour. <br />Be respectful of weather conditions, neighbors, burning bans, <br />and air quality so that nuisance, health or safety hazards will not be <br />created. <br />Open fires larger than three feet in diameter require a permit <br />which can be obtained at City Hall. A complete copy of Ramsey City <br />Ordinance #92 -03, which regulates burning, is also available at City <br />Hall. <br />RAMSEY "HAPPY DAYS" <br />PARADE <br />The Happy Days parade committee <br />would like to invite your organization to be a part <br />of our parade. It is not only a great low cost way <br />to promote your business or group, but lots of <br />fun too! <br />If you have not received a registration <br />form in the mail and would like to be part of the <br />celebration, please contact LuAnn Brozak at 763- <br />421-6801 or countryprintinggaol.com or <br />Nannette Sorenson at 763 - 753 -1832 and we will <br />send you a form. <br />EASEMENT PLANTINGS <br />Safety on our streets depends on good <br />visibility. Vegetation that grows in the easement <br />and obscures sight lines, endangers motorists, and <br />pedestrians alike. This vegetation will eventually <br />need to be pruned, removed, or transplanted. <br />Planting under power lines, in the road <br />easement, or near property lines may create <br />problems in the future. Spruce trees for instance <br />hold their lower limbs, which make them a popular <br />choice for screening purposes. However, the <br />same characteristics will create problems when <br />the tree matures and begins blocking sight lines. <br />When this happens, the tree will need to be <br />radically pruned, destroying its beauty. It is not <br />uncommon for a Spruce tree to grow 50 feet tall <br />and nearly 30 feet across at the base. <br />So when choosing trees for your yard, <br />please consider carefully their location and mature <br />size and growth characteristics before planting. <br />If you have questions regarding tree <br />selection and their individual traits please contact <br />Bruce Bacon at (763) 433 -9813. Questions <br />regarding sight line problems and tree trimming <br />and/or removal may be directed to Grant Riemer <br />at (763) 427 -8254. <br />The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it. — Anonymous <br />
