While a majority of the structures will <br />be 35 feet or less as allowed by the draft rules, we <br />desire the same flexibility as those with similar <br />development patterns adjacent to us. <br />Ramsey disagrees that additional language, review, <br />and standards regarding building height is necessary. <br />Some of the language included, such as view from <br />Ordinary High Water Line (OHW) will add <br />ditional complexity to our review process. <br />onditional Use Permit is to be allowed as a <br />means for flexibility in building height in one <br />district, it should be utilized as a tool in all districts. <br />Ramsey prefers that the draft rules not create a new <br />definition fo, ding Height, which measures to <br />me*" gable he nd not to the peak of a pitched <br />roof structure. fer that the rules simply defer <br />to the Mnnesota St e Building Code definition of <br />Building Height. We are fine with clarification that <br />this measurement be made from the river side. <br />Ramsey would prefer that the Visual Resources <br />Protection Plan not be referenced in the draft rules <br />at all. This document can be an excellent advisory <br />resource suggested by the DNR when reviewing <br />land use requests, but should not be incorporated <br />by reference into the draft rules themselves. <br />Ramsey's existing ordinance already has a setback of <br />35 feet from a bluff line. Portions would now be <br />subject to a 100 foot setback from a bluff line in the <br />CA-ROS District. Ramsey would prefer to defer to <br />our existing ordinance of 35 feet. Acknowledging <br />that a majority of areas would be subject to a 40 <br />foot bluff line setback in the draft rules, we would <br />expect that this 40 foot setback would be <br />appropriate in all areas of Ramsey as well. <br />Ramsey has no issue with a 75 foot setback to the <br />Ordinary High Water Line (OHW) for private <br />septic systems, as this matches our existing <br />ordinance. <br />Ramsey appreciates the flexibility provided to public <br />facilities, especially as it relates to the existing <br />Master Plan for the future Mississippi West <br />
