City o f AN 0 City Hall Anoka, Minnesota 55805 2015 First Avenue (612) 42L6630 RESOLUTION 81-26 WHEREAS, the City of .Ramsey has submitted t.heir Comprehensive Plan to the City of Anoka for review pursuant to the requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act; and WHEREAS, as a nearly fully developed community and freestanding growth center, the City of Anoka has an interest in the character, pattern~ scale~ and timing of development in adjacent developing communities such as the City of Ramsey; NOW THEREFORE BE IT ttESOLVED~ that the.Anoka City Council hereby submits the following comments regarding the City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan: 1. That the City of Anoka strongly approves of provisions in the City of Ramsay Comprehensive Plan for multiple family housing districts~ deva.iop~ ment of an adequate park system~ and creation of a paratransit system and p~rk 'n' ride sites. 2. That the ~ity of Anoka opposes the UMB-I{ zone along the east side of High- way 47 ~hich is adjacent to the existing single family area in Anokao A lower density transition zone is needed in this location° 3. The City of Anoka has serious concern about the I~H and UMB~M zones between HWyo 47 and the Rum River because they are irmnedlately across the river from the Anoka High School and city park land~ We are concerned about setbacks from the river and building heights, 4. The City ~f An0ka has concern about the B-1 zone at the intersection of H~yo 47 and Industry Avenue because our proposed Land Use Plan indicates medium density r~sidential use on the southwest corner of this intersection° A site development plan for this B-1 zone in Ra~sey should take our pro- posed use into account. 5. The City of Anoka questions the length of the B-1 commercial strip along Hwyo 10. This strip is 3¼ miles in length and shows some existing resi- dentially platted lots for commercial use on the west end. We believe this commercial area is excess and will have'a detrimental effect upon existing commercial development in Anoka. 6. The City of Anoka questions the size and locagion of other zoning districts including: a) The excessive size of the industrial zone extending 3~ miles along the north side of'the Burlington Northern Railroad which may have a detrimental effect upon other industrial areas which will soon be served by u~ilities.
