I <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> ! <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br />! <br />I <br />i <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Dorn stated that the basic concepts for approval are: <br /> <br />a. 18 hole golf course <br />b. '20 residential lots <br />c. commercial area, club house/snack shop <br />d. outlots to be developed at a future date <br />e. use of City park land as part of golf course <br /> <br />Mr. Dom stated that if P&Z and Council approve of these basic concepts, an <br />actual detailed final plat will be drawn up and presented. <br /> <br />Mr. Dorn stated that a specific idea for the 18 hole golf course would be for <br />the owners of the north 90 acres to convey to the City of Ramsey the land <br />necessary to develop 9 more holes of golf and Ramsey convey that property to <br />Mr. Wes Bulen with the express condition that the golf course be perpetually <br />open to the public. ~The advantage to the developers of the north 90 would <br />be a reduced number of lots at an increase in value and a tax deduction for <br />the gift. The advantage for Mr. Bulen is that he receives a write down on <br />his land costs (40-50 acres free of charge) and makes his golf course project <br />more feasible. Ramsey~s advantage is that of receiving a golf course with <br />the a~surance that it will aolways be open to the public at no cost to Ramsey. <br /> <br />The developers a~8 ~equesting_from Ramsey the approval to utilize existing <br />park land (approximately 6-7 acres on the Rum River within the DNR corridor <br />and flood plain) on a lease basis and it will retain the character of a <br />recreational facility and return to the tax roles. <br /> <br />Mr. Dom stated that another concept for review is that there are some lots <br />on Flourine Street and they are proposed to be adjacent to the 16th fairway <br />and the portion of those lots that is located within the flood plain would <br />accomodate 1 or more fairways and this could be obtained by right of private <br />easement and the property owners are prepared to consent. This concept <br />would add even more land to the total area and enhance the density factor. <br />Mr. Dorn noted that the comprehensive plans allows the City to deviate from <br />density requirements in a PUD. <br /> <br />Mr. Dorn stated that if this project is approved by September, grading could <br />begin this Fall and there could be partial play by the Spring of 1984 and <br />full play by the Spring of 1985. Considering the present economic situation <br />the developers do not want to wait another winter to progress with development. <br /> <br />The P&Z Commission reviewed City Engineer Raatikka's letter of July 6, 1983 <br />regarding Rum River Hills Preliminary Development Plan. <br /> <br />Regarding Item #2 of Mr. Raatikka's letter, Mr. Deemer noted that if the <br />golf course does not go through, the subject land could not be developed into <br />2% acre lots as the timing procedure called for in the ordinance has not <br />been followed and legal rights have been forfeited. <br /> <br />Mr. Berg noted that in a PUD, density may be clustered. <br /> <br />Chairman Peterson recommended limiting access to Hwy. #47 to one by extending <br />167th across Hwy. 47 and onto subject property. <br /> <br />Commission consensus is that Item #5 and Item #11 of Mr. Raatikka's letter be <br />reviewed by Ramsey Park Board.. <br /> <br />Sp P & Z/July 12, 1983 <br /> Page 2 of 4- <br /> <br /> <br />
