Furthermore the Planning and Zoning Commission requested the City Council review the proposed plat of Cedar Hills Addition and comment on the extent of their intent for a Southwest access from the plat to County Road #116. On November 15, 1988, the Ramsey city council directed Wally Anderson, developer of Cedar Hills Addition to make every effort to negotiate an access for the Southwest portion of that subdivision to County Road #116. On November 16, 1988, Staff recommended that an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) be ordered for Cedar Hills, Windemere Wood and Chestnut Hills Additions when the City receives the sketch plan for Chestnut Hills Addition. The developers presented their PARK CONCEPT PLAN to the Ramsey Parks and Recreation Commission on December 8, 1988. The joint proposal was reveiwed by the Parks and Recreation commission.

On January 10, 1989, the Ramsey City Council ordered the preparation of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet for EQB approval relating to the pros development of Cedar Hills, Chestnut Hills and Windemere Woods Additions.
