Mr. Schroeder - The County does the appraisal of your homes and we do not provide any direction <br />to them. Whether a development would cause your value to increase, I do not know. I would <br />hope it would improve the neighborhood. That, then may increase your value, but I do not really <br />know that. <br /> <br />John C. Peterson - I just had the assessor by my home and since the landf'fll closed, that raised <br />everyone's taxes up. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - We just got a note from the County today and it looks like the total tax rate will be <br />going down next year because of aid to the school districts. It seems we are in for a little bit of <br />good news. <br /> <br />John C. Peterson - You build all these homes you need a bigger school - do you ever get ahead?. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - We do not expect to be building a lot more new homes in Ramsey. There is not a <br />whole lot of developable land left. We do expect development will continue in the industrial area <br />but residential growth will probably slow to a crawl about three years from now. <br /> <br />Jan Reiter - You have answered all my questions. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - There has been some discussion about a passive park instead of active. <br /> <br />Jan Reiter and Betty Olesen - We want an active park. <br /> <br />Phillip Oredson - How many ball fields does Central Park have and how would this park compare <br />to it. <br /> <br />Reid Droegemueller - There are seven fields at Central Park. Central Park is square and fiat. This <br />area - the west and east end are not fit for this much development. We are still doing some design <br />to squeeze in more fields but the area is not conducive to a four-plex like at Central Park. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - What shortages in our park system do you think there are. <br /> <br />Curtis Peterson - Hockey. <br /> <br />Others answered skating and soccer. <br /> <br />Betty Olesen - I want lots of walking trails to get off the streets. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - We are starting to get a fairly significant trail system. <br /> <br />Reid Droegemueller - One of the concepts we are working on is not only a trail on the back of the <br />fields but also maybe running a trail up inside the end but over the road so you can make a circuit <br />around the whole park. Maybe tapping into the methane gas and using gas lights and maybe even <br />setting up a cross-country ski loop. If you are going to look at passive or active, the first concern <br />is safety. It would be a lit trail and would be more safe. We are still talking about these things. <br /> <br />Betty Olesen - This pedestrian bridge - is it possible to dig a tunnel? <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder - Tunnels make me nervous but it's certainly something the Park and Recreation <br />Commission could look at. <br /> <br />Tom Gamec - Majestic Oaks is having a lot of trouble with theirs. There is a lot of stuff going on - <br />it's better if it's open. <br /> <br />Alpine Neighborhood Meeting/October 24, 1996 <br /> Page 6 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
