!1 I I I I i I I I 5 10. 11. The present zoning is Urban Residential and allows for 2-8 units/acre and Urban Business which allows for 5-15 units/acre. Presently, this plan is not in conflict with the Ramsey Comprehensive Plan, as amended. The proposed density of 6.6 units/acre is not in conflict with the Ramsey Comprehensive Plan, as amended. The plan is designed to form a desirable and unified development within its own boundaries. The proposed uses will not be detrimental to present and future land uses in the surrounding area. Any exceptions to the standard requirements of the zoning and subdivision ordinances are justified by the design of the development. The plan will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve, or are proposed to serve, the planned development. The planned development will not have an undue and adverse impact on the reasonable enjoyment of neighboring property. In June of 1977, public hearings were held shOwing proposed zoning and development densities for this area. A density of 4.8 units/acre was approved in 1977 and what this PUD is proposing is not that great an increase. ! I I I I ! 12. Short term and long term screening plans, between Flintwood I and Flintwood II, will be required. 13. A portion of open space required was donated with the platting of Flintwood I First Addition. 14. Mr. Peter Raatikka's letter dated November 23, 1983 to the Planning and Zoning Commission dated November 23, 1983. 15. The adjoining properties to the west are residential dwellings located on approximately 1 acre sites with current assessing values ranging from $57,000 to $80,000. It was after much discussion that the entire Commission agreed with point #7 of the Findings of Fact. As a result of this discussion, Mr. Carson stated that the developer would be willing to reduce the number of quads from 8 to 7 and try to regain that density in Phase II. Mr. Carson stated that 7 quads was the absolute lowest density the developer could offer. Plans for a tot lot will also be deleted. I ! It was also brought out in discussions that Council has been referring to Thurston Avenue as an MSA highway and it should be MSA street. Mr. Ralph Hendrikson also requested that a green buffer be planted at this time for those commercial lots so that by the time they are developed a mature buffer will be in place.
