Mr. Ryan Streff <br />August 28, 2015 <br />Page 3 <br />We have heard some in the community suggest that alignment between the city's <br />and county's goals and housing densities is not important at this time because a <br />developer is going to come in and alter the plans in the future. We submit that <br />alignment is important because the Master Plan is more of a reflection of the vision <br />of the two public partners than it is about number of housing units or lines on a <br />map. Disagreement now means developers will either be confused about our goals <br />and be less interested in the site or, worse, lose a chance for an important employer <br />to locate here. <br />We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Comprehensive Plan <br />Amendment. The partnership we have with Arden Hills is essential in moving this <br />redevelopment forward. The TCAAP site provides an unmatched development <br />opportunity within the 7 -county metro. We want to make sure we get this right. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jim McDonough, air. <br />Ramsey County Commissioner <br />cc: Ramsey County Board of Commissioners <br />Mayor David Grant <br />Arden Hills City Council <br />David Sand, Chair, TCAAP Joint Development Authority <br />Julie Kleinschmidt, County Manager <br />City of Mounds View <br />City of New Brighton <br />City of Roseville <br />City of Shoreview <br />
