Ramsey Final Report <br />Grant No. 05 -1237 <br />City of Ramsey <br />ADMINISTRATION <br />Philosophy /Principles <br />• City code will strive to encompass the majority of issues for the betterment of the whole <br />community. <br />• Zoning and ordinances should work to guide development responsibly without dictating <br />unnecessarily. <br />• Administration should be approachable and good at teaching (added by someone else: "...this <br />isn't done. ") <br />• Fair, thoughtful and respectful governance of policy, rights, and code. <br />Strategies /Process (How do we carry out principles ?) <br />Communication <br />• City shall provide progress forums and receive feedback. <br />• Residents should be provided with clear information regarding all aspects of being a citizen — <br />both expectations of them and services for them. <br />• Keep yourself informed on city assessments. (speaking to the city staff?) <br />• Get yourself involved. (speaking to the city staff?) <br />Zoning <br />• Zoning laws should be made that aren't as flexible to achieve a higher standard of living. <br />• Zoning laws should be fair, consistent and reliable. SIMILAR TO: <br />• Zoning should be consistent and preserve individual liberty. <br />• Zoning laws should scrap existing Euclidian zoning.. <br />• Allow greater density to make up for non -use of wetlands. <br />Enforcement <br />• Our city will enforce the critical transitions between changes in density, commercial /residential <br />and rural interfaces. <br />• Any changes to the comprehensive plan shall require a 2/3 majority of council. <br />
