<br />There are at icast two mctmpoi m;~ cornm, unkies, the Cities of Savage and Ramsey that have
<br />gi~ost ptattin~ provisior~.~z in ~hei' subdivision codes. The City of Savage requires a concept rural-

<br />Like [n,/t:r Grove Hei!._, tt:~, both Sa,,age and Ramsey, have Urban Reserve lands with similar
