<br />waiting for stoplights, trains, etc. We love the small town feel of Ramsey - that's why <br />we moved so far out! Our children attend private schools in Fridley and Coon Rapids <br />and we work in Columbia Hts. We could have easily bought a home there - but didn't <br />because we wanted mote space-less traffic- less noise- less congestion. We also love <br />our well water! Please do not force city water or sewer on us! I've talked to my <br />neighbors and we all fear the same thing - we are headed down an awful development <br />path. I understand some change may need to happen to attract the light rail from Big <br />Lake and getting it to stop at the Ramsey Town Center~ but enough is enough. We <br />don't need to keep building just to be like a Woodbury. Please keep our small town- <br />Quiet- neighborhoods and let other cities build to their hearts content. thanks for <br />listening. We've been wating to say this a long time! <br />o lmoved here because of the large lots, open space and quiet. This is still important to <br />me. If I wanted city life, I would have moved into downtown. I don't need stores & <br />businesses close by. I didn't mind having to drive into town for 30 years and still <br />don't. <br />oWe need a bridge across the Mississippi River in Ramsey to improve the "livability" <br />of the city. We may be moving if conditions don't improve with transportation. <br />o The more undeveloped the more attractive. That's why we moved here from the twin <br />cities and why our friends in Zimmerman, Princeton and northern areas would never <br />move south further. We're not Minneapolis - We are a suburb. <br />o Keeping lower density levels north of Trott Brook. Slowing housing /density levels <br />until better roads/traffic management is available. Develop housing options that <br />require a minimal amount of gov't./community services. Example: More senior <br />housing results in building senior centers or more rental units may require more <br />public transportation services. Private/community development does not have to <br />bring on huge.expansion of public services. <br />o . Houses in the $300,000 + range. People required to maintain their houses and yards. <br />Not sure how many senior housing units are available. Build accessible to disabled as <br />needed? <br />o Affordable apartments for singles and younger couples. <br />o Slow down new housing projects and no huge townhouse projects that are going in all <br />over! <br />o There is a need to develop more single family houses. The development of multi- <br />family units does little to benefit the city. Developers should be held to higher <br />standards and not be allowed to put so many units on such small parcels of land. <br />Ramsey does not need more "affordable" housing. <br />o There is no housing need in Ramsey. We don't need more people on the roads <br />already. Fix the road system first then build up your housing. What ever happened to <br />service roads for retail. <br />o I moved here for the rural setting which now is a suburb setting. Less development!!! <br />o The price of gasoline now days dictates how far we can drive to shop for groceries, <br />daily necessities, even entertainment. A closer post office would be nice also. Even <br />though most families enjoy a television in their homes, a movie theater would be nice. <br />I see now that I have written a whole paragraph that this is suppose to be (housing <br />needs). Sorry. <br />o Affordable housing for working families. <br /> <br />12 <br />
