November 15. 2010 <br />Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br />Attn: Jeffrey Berg <br />500 Lafayette Road <br />St Paul, MN 55155 -4032 <br />RE: MRCCA Rulemaking <br />Jeffrey: <br />The City of Ramsey has reviewed the most recent draft of the proposed MRCCA rules. The City of <br />Ramsey appreciates the side -by -side comparison of existing standards and proposed standards. We thank <br />you for your willingness to incorporate comments provided into the draft rules. We hope that we can <br />continue to facilitate open conversation. We provide the following comments: <br />General /Land Use Districts: <br />We greatly appreciate the revisions to the land use districts to better match actual development patterns. <br />We certainly are in support of the tiered land use district approach that focuses regulations on the areas of <br />highest need. We continue to have concern regarding CA -2 designations remaining in certain areas. Our <br />approved Comprehensive Plan and underlying zoning districts allow for minimum lot sizes of 10,800 <br />square feet, which was used to determine future population, household, and employment forecasts. <br />Changes in minimum lot size will result in reduced forecasts, which will require a revision to the City's <br />System Statement, a discussion the City is not willing to start at this time. <br />Clap d Ramsey <br />f.nrww (nr, <br />Draft 2070 Land Use Plan <br />ALM <br />Low oanar <br />WI ■.....0 <br />•wnl, <br />Vi ews <br />� ar.rw <br />i w. <br />Iloraftwompg <br />XII Pm <br />oftwomait <br />O <br />arm <br />
