It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park, playground and public open <br />space within a municipaliiy is directly related to the density and intensity of development <br />permitted and allowed within any given area. Higher density developments mean greater <br />numbers of people and an increased demand for parks, recreational resources and public <br />open space. To disregard this principle is to inevitably over-tax existing facilities and thus, <br />diminish the quality, of the environment for all. <br /> <br />The City's Comprehensive Park and Open Space Plan establishes minimum community <br />criteria for meeting the needs of the residents of Ramsey. <br /> <br />It is the policy of Ramsey that the following standards and guidelines for the dedication of <br />land for park, playground, and public open space purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of <br />such dedication) in the subdividing and developing of land within the City shall be directly <br />related to the density and intensity of each subdivision and development. It is further the <br />policy that it is intended that subdivision dedication shall first be allocated toward <br />deficiencies in the subdivision, neighborhood or specific district park(s), then to trails <br />linking parks, then community parks, then multi-jurisdictional park(s) in Ramsey. Finally, <br />that dedication fees recognize the impact upon each of these systems by the subdivision of <br />land. <br /> <br /> Subd. 2. Residential parkland dedications.
