MEMO TO: Ramsey City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission FROM: Phil D. Nereson, Administrative Assistant DATE: May 16, 1977 RE: UPDATE ON URBAN STUDY SUBCOMMITTEE ACTIVITIES During the week of May 9, 1977 through May 13, 1977 all subcommittees for the Urban Study Area have met. This memo is an update so that all concerned will know what the subcommittees activities have been. Zoning Ordinance The Zoning Ordinance Subcommittee met on May 11, 1977 at 12:00 NOON at the Weaver, Talle and Herrick Anoka office; wi'th the following people in attendance, Bill Goodrich, Gary Gorham, Mayor Cox, Tom Gamec, A1 Sorteberg and Phil Nereson. The committees first task was to review the U - District zoning regulations and the proposed zoning map. The following recommendations for change have been made: Move the Urban District boundary line south from its present 156th Avenue to 153rd Avenue with the exception of the property just north and surrounding the Highway q7 and 153rd intersection. This exclusive intersection will carry an additional zone requirement. It is presently zoned UMB and it is proposed to be zoned UMBH. The significance of this is that the UMBH zoning for this area will allow all uses as prescribed by the UMB zone, however eliminate multiple housing from this zoning classification. The reason for this is to allow the light commercial or professional business activity on what is considered to be a prime intersection but to eliminate multiple housing, since it is felt that this area could be subject to premature development in accordance with staging of the sewer pipes through the rest of the Urban area. 2. General clarification and discussion on the yard requirements and permitted uses in all districts. 3. A review of development procedures to be followed by the developer and the City; with some minor changes being made. This subcommittee is now reviewing general regulations of the U-District zoning and must still review the proposed zoning ordinance for the entire City, and has scheduled another meeting for 8:30 a.m. on Tuesda~May 17, 1977 also at the Weaver, Talle, Herrick Anoka office. Soils Ordinance The soils ordinance subcommittee met on May 11, 1977 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall with the following people in attendance, Gary Reimann, Gerald Zimmerman, Dick Sba, Bill Vidrine (Anoka County Soils and Water), and Phil Nereson. This subcommittee received explanation from Mr. Bill Vidrine on reading the soils map. The soils ordinance calls for the availability of class I soils for all buildable lots. It was determined that this regulation is not too restrictive since a major portion of the City is of class i soil type. The major recommended change to the ordinance
