In the process, Staff also proposed some miscellaneous <br />amendments to Ne platting section to more closely reflect the current procedure used in processing <br />subdivisions in Ramsey. <br /> <br />The proposed amendments were forwarded to the Park and Recreation Commission and they <br />rejected the idea 0_ f requiring plats to be reviewed by their board prior to the Planning Commission. <br />In their opinion, !the current code requirement for initial review by the Planning Commission is <br />beneficial to them~ so they know preferred road alignemnts prior to locating parks and trails.

The Planning Commission also directed Staff to forward the <br />remaining propo ~s~xt amendments to Council for review prior to scheduling the public hearing.
