She is in the Community Development Department <br />and is working on this case. She will be able to tell you what has happened thus far, and when it will.be <br />presented to Council. If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact me. I will try to find <br />answers for you. Have a great day!' Jo <br /> <br />>>> <JFoellPICS@aol.com> 02/12/03 01:50PM >>> <br />I live near the Gun Club on Variolite, and although I do not live within 350 <br />yards of the proposed area, I am concerned that the City of Ramsey is <br />considering the Interim Permit to park commercial vehicles in this area: <br /> <br />This is a residential area, near a city park. This area is used by the <br />residents here to walk, ride bike (children & adults) and basically'enjoy <br />this neighborhood. <br /> <br />The addition of this traffic, the danger that is inherently associated with <br />large commercial equipment (children are always drawn to equipment), the <br />noise from sunrise to sunset, to say nothing of the unsightly 'look' this <br />gives to the residential area, are more than enough reasons NOT to grant this <br />permit. <br /> <br />We pay taxes to keep. the roads and city property maintained -- has any <br />consideration been given to how that affects the roads? Will the commercial <br />vehicles be taking 'short cuts' through the side streets? <br /> <br />I was told that any violations of the permit, meaning additional vehicles, <br />supplies, etc.,.would be in violation of the permit and would become void. I <br />do not believe the City of Ramsey has the power to 'move' the violator after <br />giving the permit. ( I have a neighbor that violates every ordinance you <br />have, and nothing can be' done about that, so I do doubt that a commercial <br />company would be dealt with any more effectively). I was also told'that this <br />application was prompted by a complaint from a resident, need I say more? <br />That should have been the end of the discussibn. <br /> <br />Ramsey has many area's.that may better serve the company (Gerald Bauer) and <br />not infringe on this VERY residential area. The City of Ramsey has property <br />near the city offices that would suit this issue better. <br /> <br />I did not see this item on the Council Agenda, and would be interested in <br />knowing when that will be discussed. I'm sure the city would allow for input <br />from residents before approving this permit (350 yards does not cover the <br />neighborhood). I also did not see minutes from the Planning Commission <br />regarding this discussion. <br /> <br />Myself, along with my neighbors, will be very disappointed to see this permit <br />issued. <br /> <br />Please let me know when this item will be on the agenda or, whether or not <br />this has already been approved. If it has been approved do the residents. <br />have any recourse? <br /> <br />Thank you for any insight you can give me on the above. <br /> <br />-123-. <br /> <br /> <br />
