C' y a 1 2015 First Avenue <br />Anon, M~neso~ 55303 (612) 421-6630 <br /> <br />RESOLUTION 81-26 <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the City of Ramsey has submitted their Comprehensive Plan to the <br />City of Anoka for review pursuant to the requirements of the Metropolitan Land <br />Planning Act; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, as a nearly fully developed community and freestanding growth <br />center, the City of Anoka has an interest in the character, pattern, scale, and <br />timing of development in adjacent developing communities such as the City of <br />Ramsey; <br /> <br /> NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Anoka City Council hereby submits the <br />following comments regarding the City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan: <br /> <br /> 1. That the City of Anoka strongly approves of provisions in the City of <br /> Ramsey Comprehensive Plan for multiple family housing districts, develop- <br /> ment o.f an adequate park system, and creation of a pqratransit system. and <br /> park 'n' ride sites. <br /> <br /> 2. That the City of Anoka opposes the UMB-H zone along the east side of High- <br /> way 47 which is adjacent to the existing single family area in Anoka. A <br /> lower density transition zone is needed in this location. <br /> <br /> 3. The City of Anoka has serious concern about the UMB-H and UMB-M zones <br /> between Hwy. 47 and the Rum River because they are immediately across the <br /> river from the Anoka High School and city park land. We are concerned <br /> about setbacks from the river and building heights. <br /> <br /> 4. The City of Anoka has concern about the B-1 zone at the intersection of <br /> Hwy. 47 and Industry Avenue because our proposed Land Use Plan indicates <br /> medium density residential use on the southwest corner of this intersection. <br /> A site development plan for this B-1 zone in Ramsey should take our pro- <br /> posed use into account. <br /> <br /> 5. The City of Anoka questions the length of the B-1 commercial strip along <br /> Hwy. 10. This strip is 3¼ miles in length and shows some existing resi- <br /> dentially platted lots for commerCial use on the west end. We believe <br /> this commercial area is excess and will have-a detrimental effect upon <br /> existing commercial development in Anoka. <br /> <br /> 6. The City of Anoka questions the size and location of other zoning districts <br /> including: - <br /> <br /> a) he excessive size of the industrial zone extending 3~ miles <br /> along the north side of'the Burlington Northern Railroad which <br /> may have a detrimental effect upon'other industrial areas which <br /> will soon be served by' utilities.
