area south of Alpine Drive. (This may also be an opportunity to provide for the mass grading for a future park site). Outlot E is encumbered by the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants for the Northfork Addition and may take coordination with the Northfork Home Owners Association who manages said declaration. Because of this, Staff desires to better understand the Northfork HOA's understanding of `passive' park development, (a park description used previously by several homeowners when discussing this same proposal).

Minutes from this discussion are attached to this case as background of the purpose of this exercise. At the May 26, 2015 Joint Meeting with the City Council, Staff was directed to prepare a comparison document outlining the differences between the current COR Development Plan and the original Ramsey Town Center Master Plan. Direction was to simply prepare a document outlining the changes and check back with the City Council and its advisory boards for future direction. It is anticipated that the output of this exercise may lead to some changes to the Design Framework for The COR to either better clarify the vision, eliminate any conflicting language, simplify the document, or potential changes to the official vision. This step is focused on the inventory of the previous plan and the current plan. The intent of this topic report is not to begin developing a new vision for The COR. The Planning Commission met on July 9 and prepared the first draft of this document. The City Council reviewed the first draft of the document at their July 28, 2015 meeting and minutes from said meeting are attached for Commission review. Revisions based on the City Council's discussion include a clearer Park and Recreation Commission/August 13, 2015 Page 3 of 6
