Mr. Edmundson has concerns that the land is not <br />dedicated as a park. He brought with him a map from the County that shows that it is park land. <br />He is also concerned about the bluff. The sight line would be destroyed if the bluff was cut down <br />at all. He questioned the density of the parcel. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated the density is 7-15 units per acre. Staff is sensitive to the fact <br />that a lot of people consider this a park. Mr. Edmundson's map is an Anoka County base map <br />and not a map created by the City of Ramsey. The park was part: of a larger parcel that had not <br />yet been completely subdivided. There is an executed purchase agreement between the City and <br />Riverside Companies, and City Council chose to honor that purchase agreement and move <br />forward. To recant on that purchase agreement does leave the City exposed legally. When <br /> <br />Planning Commission/June 4, 2009 <br />Page 3 of7 <br />
