THE CITY OF RAMSEY GillDING PRINCIPLES "What Does This Place Want to Be?" A Place to Play and Recreate Because Ramsey is predominantly a "bedroom community" that is comprised mostly of young families, it is important that there be an abundance of passive and active recreational opportunities for all residents, particularly its youth. Future development should ensure that an appropriate amount of open space be preserved for trails, parks and places to gather and enjoy recreational activities. A Place with a Good Image Ramsey is a community with a struggling image as evidenced by the Highway 10 Corridor and the once active landfill. However, that struggling image is counteracted by a strong identity that is framed by our rural lifestyle, our location along two rivers and our wealth of natural resources. We must identify the elements that will enhance compatibility of these negative images and turn liabilities into assets. The Highway 10 Corridor must become a gateway into the community and develop and redevelop in a fashion that presents a positive image for the City of Ramsey. We must build upon the elements, which contribute to our identity. A Place with a Variety of Housing Opportunities We should encourage, where possible, residential developments providing a full range of housing opportunities from large lots to moderate sized lots, from large homes to small homes and from high valued housing to modest valued housing. Our housing stock should allow residents the opportunity to remain in the community and become life-long residents by affording them opportunities to move into alternative forms of housing as their life-styles change over time.
