Mr. Gladhill stated land use resources will have a separate section in the Natural Resources <br />Chapter. He added the areas that contain the City's unique resources, including the Mississippi <br />River Corridor Critical Area, must be consistent with State rules and Zoning Codes. He noted City <br />Staff have recently received new rules about that. <br />Mr. Gladhill stated resources planning must be included in the Land Use Plan, and a separate <br />natural resources chapter is planned. <br />Mr. Gladhill stated the Old Town Hall is the only property on the National Historic Registry in the <br />City of Ramsey. He added the Resilient Communities project is reviewing that property and its <br />potential uses. He noted the Bruce Bakken legacy farm has been taken out of the Comprehensive <br />Plan after Mr. Bakken's recent death. <br />Mr. Gladhill stated the zoning map and zoning code need to be updated, so that the Comprehensive <br />Plan and Zoning Code are consistent. He added updates to The COR development plan should <br />be included, and the Planning Commission is working on that. <br />Mr. Gladhill stated the Committee's recommendations would be reviewed by the Planning <br />Commission at their December 2, 2017, meeting. <br />Ms. Roering stated she would like to see something more about the area schools — a map of the <br />School District, boundaries, other data related to schools. She added it did not feel like that was <br />addressed in the front of the chapter. <br />Mr. Gladhill stated there is a School District map, and more demographics could be added about <br />school age children. He added the largest school -age demographic is 5 years —14 years. He added <br />college -level learning, community learning, and all -age learning has also been discussed. <br />Mr. Scott asked whether open enrollment at the area's schools has an impact on demographics and <br />population in the area. <br />Mr. Gladhill stated he would look into getting open enrollment statistics. Mr. Bauer stated that <br />would be a good idea. <br />Mr. Gladhill asked whether the Committee feels comfortable with the amount of information on <br />parks, recreation and open space, for which there are separate chapters. Ms. Roering stated she <br />feels more should be added, such as a regional parks map. <br />Mr. Gladhill stated a regional parks and trails map can be added. He added the long-term goal of <br />a circle loop of trails connecting all the parks will be reflected here as well. He presented a natural <br />resource -based planning map, which will have some narrative added to it is reviewed by the <br />Planning Commission. <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee / November 13, 2017 <br />Page 9 of 10 <br />
