Mr. Gladhill stated there can still be some changes made to the plan and the effect of the <br />Armstrong Interchange to the plan. <br />Chair Bennett stated the park element has continually driven people back to Ramsey with the <br />trails and trail connections. He stated to stay true to the vision as it relates to the parks and the <br />municipal plaza is important. <br />Mr. Gladhill showed the comparison of Ramsey Town Center Master Plan to the COR <br />Development Plan and the Policy Questions for future Discussion and/or Survey (City Council, <br />Advisory Boards and Commissions, Residents). He asked if a community center is an important <br />part of the COR. Chair Bennett stated that needs more discussion. <br />Commissioner Trappen asked if the amphitheater was part of the original plan and Mr. <br />Riverblood stated it was. Commissioner Trappen stated that is a wonderful amenity that needs to <br />be continued in the new plan. <br />Chair Bennett stated he would like to see the consistency of green space throughout the COR. <br />The design of it all being part of the same area is necessary. Mr. Riverblood clarified when <br />speaking of green space that includes benches, trees, sidewalks, picnic tables, trails, etc. <br />Commissioner Trappen stated he would like to continue that green space theme throughout the <br />COR. <br />Commissioner Barr stated it is very inviting for residents and visitors to have the green space <br />areas. <br />Chair Bennett asked if parking calculations should be looked at even though it is outside the Park <br />Commission' s normal duties, we want to have the right amount of parking but it needs to be <br />balanced with the space and the real need. <br />Commissioner Mobry suggested there be parking near the trails for trail access. Mr. Riverblood <br />stated they are looking at techniques for shared parking. <br />Motion by Commissioner Mobry, seconded by Commissioner Fyten to recommend City Council <br />adopt the Comparison Document for The COR as presented. <br />Motion carried.
