Memo to Ramsey City Council and Planning Commission <br />Page Four <br />June 23, 1977 <br /> <br />maintain the semi-rural and rural atmosphere in those parts <br />of the city where this appears appropriate. <br /> <br /> Rationale: The amendment proposed above reflects action <br /> by the City Council in reaction to comments from the Metropolitan <br /> Council with respect to the need to limit density in both the <br /> transition and rural parts Qf the city. This is recognized as a <br /> controversial part of the proposed development program and it is <br /> expected that the lot size maximums would be reduced in the <br /> future if proposed Metropolitan Council controls on density are <br /> not imposed on the area immediately north of the city. A <br /> potential compromise with respect to the 10 acre limitation would <br /> be to allow planned unit development at greater density in those <br /> instances that the developer can show a long range program to <br /> limit public service costs resulting from the proposed development'. <br />· 'At this time,, in the st'ate of uncertainty which exists with respect <br /> to the matter of density control, it is the recommendation of the <br /> Planning-Commission that a 2-1/2 acre minimum be established in <br /> the transition area and a 10 acre minimum be established in the <br /> rural area. <br /> <br /> 7.
