Case //9: Adopt City Parks Map: Mr. Otto stated that over a period of time, efforts have been made to develop an overall parks map for the purpose of: a) updating the parks map in the Comprehensive Plan; b) responding to the needs of developers to know where the parks and trails are planned; c) incorporating the trail system the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Otto proceeded to review the locations of existing City, Count), and quasi-public areas and those areas proposed for future expansion and additional park space. Councilmember Pearson noted that if the City adopts the parks map as proposed, it is giving approval to the wail system as proposed and he feels the trail system is a little more than the City can afford. He stated that he is also opposed to trails being imposed on existing developments and reducing lot sizes by 75 feet. Mr. Otto indicated that if the trail system is to remain a high priority item, it would be difficult to adopt a parks map without it because it is a key element referred to when property is platted. Mayor Reimann indicated that he feels trail systems are an asset to the community. Councilmember DeLuca noted that it may be many years before the trail is developed, but if the land is not preserved now the City will not have the opportunity to have a multi-use trail in the future. Mr. Otto explained that in undeveloped areas in the rural area where the City is considering trails for multiple uses, 75 feet of right-of-way would be used; in urban areas, 35 feet would be sufficient to accommodate single treadways; in the areas of existing development, some acquisition of right-of-way will be necessary, but consideration will be given to utihzing existing road fight-of-ways on low traffic volume roads. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to adopt Resolution g90-05-155 adopting the official parks and trails plan for the City of Ramsey. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers DeLuca, Pearson and Peterson. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Cich. City Council/May 22, 1990 Page 19 of 27
