purchase, PSD has requested feedback from the Planning Commission as it relates to compliance <br /> with Zoning Code. The site is located in the COR -1 Sub - District and is subject to the <br /> Development Plan and Development Framework for The COR. Staff requested the Commission <br /> provide feedback on the use of pitched roofs versus flat roofs in addition to parking <br /> requirements. <br /> Commission Business <br /> Commissioner VanScoy believed this project was perfect for COR -4. He did not believe it fit the <br /> current or original plan. He thought it would change the character of what was trying to be <br /> accomplished for this site. <br /> Commissioner Maul agreed. <br /> Chairperson Levine asked if the demographics show that the proposed high density site could be <br /> filled. He stated he would like to review the full market analysis before this request proceeded. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the demographic information from PSD <br /> with the Commission, along with the market rates for rent. He reported that PSD was trying to <br /> create a campus sort of feel with the adjacent corporate building. <br /> Commissioner Brauer indicated the COR could support the high density. However, he believed <br /> that the proposed four -story building would not be feasible on the proposed site. It was his <br /> opinion that middle ground/market rate housing was needed in Ramsey. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill thanked the Commission for their input. <br /> 5.05: Review and Respond to the Metropolitan Council Regional Transportation Policy <br /> Plan <br /> Presentation <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill presented the Staff Report stating the Metropolitan <br /> Council was in the process of updating Regional System Plans (Water Resources, Transportation, <br /> Parks, Housing). The Metropolitan Council has released the Transportation Policy for public <br /> comment. The City's Engineering Division was preparing a response to the Metropolitan <br /> Council and desires preliminary feedback from the Planning Commission. Staff recommended <br /> that the draft response to the policy plan provide greater emphasis on the need for additional <br /> investment in Highway 10 and Highway 47 along with long range planning for a future river <br /> crossing to the City of Dayton. <br /> Commission Business <br /> Planning Commission /September 4, 2014 <br /> Page 8 of 11 <br />
