On December 14, 1989, the Ramsey Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the plat for park dedication requirements. Their decision was that the developer should be allowed to dedicate the lowlands adjacent to the river as private open space in accordance with PUD requirements. With respect to park dedication requirements, the developer should provide a 10-20 foot pedestrian easement along the northern boundary of the plat in a east/west direction to the park outtot and the balance of park dedication due would be satisfied with cash. On December 19, 1989, the Ramsey City Council granted preliminary plat approval to River Bluffs PUD. On October 23, 1990, the Rarnsey City Council granted the developer an extension to December 31, 1990 to file for final plat approval of River Bluffs PUD. On April 23, 1991, the Ramsey City Council granted the developer another extension to August 30, 1991 to file for final plat approval of River Bluffs PUD. On May 7, 1991, at the request of the developers, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding the proposal for a revised preliminary plat dated February 12. The revised preliminary plat replaced the through street at Oneida St. N.W. with a cul-de-sac. At the hearing (in response to the City Engineer's concerns expressed in his letter dated May 2nd), the developers submitted another proposal for a revised preliminary plat that would reconfigure the cul-de-sac on the northern end of the plat to a 'dog leg' that would connect with Oneida Street. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of both revised preliminary plat proposals.
