Section 9.50.37 is hereby repealed and amended to read as follows: <br /> <br /> Subdivision 1. Purpose. The City Council recognizes il is <br />essential to the health, safer)' and welfare of the residents oI~ Ramsey and persons working <br />in Ramsey, thai the character and quality of the environmenl be considered to be of ma.ior <br />importance in the planning and development of the City. In this regard, the manner in <br />which land is developed and used is of high priority. The preservation of land for park, <br />playground and public open space purposes as it relates to the use and development of land <br />for residential, commercial/industrial purposes is essential to the maintaining of a healthful <br />and desirable environment for all citizens of the City. The City must not only provide these <br />necessary amenities for our citizens today, but alsc~ be insightful to the needs of our future <br />citizens. <br /> <br />It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park, playground and public open <br />space within a municipality is direct}y related to the density and intensity of development <br />permitted and allowed within an.',, 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 />din'finish the quality of the environment for all. <br /> <br />The City's Comprehensive Park and Open Space Plan establishes minimum community <br />criteria )or meeting the needs of the residents of Ramsey. <br /> <br />It is the policy of Ramsev that the folio,x, ing standards and guidelines for the dedication of <br />land for park, playg-roun~l, and public open space purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of <br />such dedication) in the subdividing and developing of land within the Ci~, shall be directly <br />related to the densirv and intensity of each subdivision and development. It is further the <br />policy that it is in[ended 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 communiB, 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. The amount of land to <br />be dedicated by a subdMder for residential development shall be based on the ~oss area of <br />the proposed subciivisiom proposed type of dwelling unit and density. <br /> <br />The formula for land dedication shall ~ based on the number of pro, posed units r~er <br /> Dwelling Units <br /> <br />0- 0.3 units per_ac._r.e <br />0.31 - 3.0 units r>er acre <br />3. ] - 5.0 units eer acre <br />5.1 + units r~er acre <br /> <br />Land To Be Dedicated <br /> <br />7% <br />10% <br /> <br />12% <br /> <br />Add .5% for each unit over 5 <br /> <br />acre. <br /> <br /> Subd. 3.
