Information
Title:
Consider Proposal for a Remote Controlled Car Track at Alpine Park
Purpose/Background:
Small, remote controlled (RC) cars are used informally in Ramsey's parks and parking lots and occasionally RC boats within waterways. A pair of residents are keenly interested in formalizing an RC area in Ramsey and initially looked at Emerald Pond Park, and sent those neighbors the attached letter inviting feedback on the proposal.
Since then, Staff meet with one of the individuals proposing an RC area—and looked at the west portion of Alpine Park near the skate park. This area seems conducive for this use in many ways, including that there is separation from residential homes, there is parking, and also ADA access if positioned immediately adjacent to the existing parking lot.

Notification:
Observations/Alternatives:
One or more residents interested in the RC area are expected to be present at the meeting to explain further the benefits of their proposal, and what is entailed. Attached is the aforementioned letter, and an exhibit showing the area proposed.
Funding Source:
There is no funding required at this time.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends actively exploring the development of an RC area at Alpine, as it would be yet another unique recreational amenity for the community.
Action:
Bsed upon discussion.
