Motion by Commi.~sioner Deemer to recommend that City Council approve the preliminary plat of Tooth Acres, as m~dified with outlots, contingent upon City Council entertaining the thought that Outlots B and E, p~chased by Anoka County, be deeded back to the City of Ramsey for park and public use for the ~[ollowing reasons: a) to assure protection of the City of Ramsey's interest in a north/south trail c~rddor and a Mississippi River bridge crossing corridor;, and 2) to satisfy park dedication requirements. Further DiscussioO: Commissioner Hendriksen reiterated that the proposed subdivision has not been reviewed byithe Park and Recreation Commission and inquired as to why action on the subdivision is so qlrgent. Mr. Banwart replied that the County will not pay Mr. Martin until the plat is recorded; thi[ longer plat approval takes at the City level, the more it is costing Mr. Martin to provide for a MisSissippi River bridge crossing. Commissioner Shumway stated that the plat should not be for yarded to City Council until the Park Commission has reviewed it. Mark Banwart noted tha the southern portion of the property is being condemned; what is of interest to the City is the no: them portion of the property, Outlots A, B and C; 3 lots constitute a minor subdivisions; mint r subdivisions are not required to be reviewed by the Planning Commission or the the Parks Con mission but the City Staff subjects them to those reviews to avoid problems; designation of the lots as A and C means that they cannot be developed; they will surely be resubdivided into [evelopable lots in the future and at that time it would be appropriate to require park dedication. ~'ommissioner Hendriksen requested that the motion be amended to reflect a contingency of an .cceptable park dedication agreement being reached between the City of Ramsey and Anoka County,. Commissioner De~mer restated his motion as follows: Motion by CommiSsioner Deemer to recommend that City Council approve the preliminary plat of Tooth Acres, as rrtodffied w~th outlots, connngent upon an acceptable park dedication agreement being reached between the City of Ramsey and Anoka County, which should included entertaining the thought that Outlots B and E, purchased by Anoka County, bedeeded back to the City of Ramsey for park _.a~d public use for the following reasons: a) to assure protection of the City of Ramsey's interest ~n a north/south trail corridor and a Mississippi River bridge crossing corridor; and 2) to satisfy p~k dedication requirements.
