AH Planning From: Annie-> Sent: Wednesday, December 6, 2023 1:27 PM To: AH Planning Subject: Fw: Don't forget the residents You don't often get email from- Learn why this is important Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution I originally sent this to council member Fabel. I have amended it somewhat to send it to your committee. Hello. Being a constituent I want to give my opinion about the TCAAP development. I have heard you comment that'the vote proves that there is a mandate and referendum from the community to provide maximum housing to help solve Ramsey County housing shortage' I think this sentiment is way (falsely) over embellishing the meaning of'the slate's' successful election. More accurately I think the elections were reflecting a'get it done' sentiment. Nowhere did you publicize an intent to promote a population change of over 30% to our humble community. I oppose this huge number of households being added to our community in one fell project, especially with Ramsey County having their hand on the steering wheel. Their frequent incompetence is well documented and their agenda is not reflective of community desires. I have great concerns about the numbers being bandied about -too many households, too little space to IiveiJammed in tightly), loss of work opportunities to name a few. I live off Hamline Ave which is already becoming a speedway. I dread the impact of the thousands of new residents heading up to the development. I think an important measure is being missed -what best serves the 'new community? Please slow down and get it right. Measure twice, cut once. Don't consider our household your cash cow. Ramsey County is proposing a 6.25% property tax increase to meet our current obligations. Don't bite off more than you can chewlll Ann Wandzel 1416 Indian Oaks Court 55112
