Chapter 170.06 of the City Code is amended as follows: 170.06 PARK AND OPEN SPACE DEDICATION 170.061 PURPOSE The City Council recognizes it is essential to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of Ramsey and persons working in Ramsey, that the character and quality of the environment be considered to be of major importance in the planning and development of the. City. In this regard, the manner in which land is developed and used is of high priority. The preservation of land for park, playground and public open space purposes as it relates to the use and development of land for residential, commercial/industrial purposes is essential to the maintaining of a healthful and desirable environment for all citizens of the City. The City must not only provide these necessary amenities for our citizens today, but also be insightful to the needs of our future citizens. It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park, playground and public open space within a municipality is directly related to the density and intensity of development pe_--mitted and allowed within any given area. Urban type developments mean greater numbers of people and higher demands for park, playground and public open space. To disregard this principle is to inevitably over-tax existing facilities and thus, diminish the quality of the environment for all.
