This pond has now been removed from this location, and the fzrst pond has <br />grown to at least three times its original size. Providing the map is accurate, <br />that places the pond all the way up to our property line. We DO NOT want <br />this in our backyard as we did not build our house near water for goOd <br />reasons. <br /> <br />In Minnesota, we already have enough mosquitoes and with the threat of <br />West Nile Disease more water would only bring more of both. If we wanted <br />to live on a lake/pond, we would have built over on Sunfish Lake. <br />Furthermore, this proposed property is on the lowest grade of the <br />development, and all the water wOuld drain our direction creating a possible <br />flood. We realize Ramsey is mostly sand, however, what is our guarantee <br />our home could not become flOoded??? We certainly will not have the added <br />expense of flood insurance. Perhaps the developer or the city would like to <br />pay for this expense!!! <br /> <br />There are a lot of small children in this area and water is very enticing to <br />them as you well know from the tragic deaths of the children in Bums <br />Township. If there must be a water drainage area please keep it North as the <br />original plan showed. If the land is not buildable then please put in a tot lot, <br />green space or both. <br /> <br />We appreciate your understanding in this matter!! <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Tim and Beth Yehle <br /> <br />-209- <br /> <br /> <br />
