15) Higher unit density zoning has a greater impa~ on wildlife and wetlands. Lets try <br /> to keep as much wildlife as we can. <br /> <br /> 16) Champlin forced develoPers to plan parks and play areas. Ramsey should do this <br /> <br /> 17) The housing unit land densities must.be calculated based' on buildable (usable) land <br /> acreage. It appears that the .Rum River Meadows plot density was based on gross <br /> acreage - not usable acreage which is approximately 6. acres. Consequently density. <br /> is not 3.2 units per acre but approximately 4.6 units per acre which of course is <br /> totally unacceptable. (Note: Check the wetland area for this plot. The sketch <br /> indicates 1.3 acres but it is approximately 4 acres.) <br /> <br />18) The Shade Tree Cottages plan shows a setback for the housing units of <br /> approximately I00 feet frOm the North property line. This layout concept should <br /> also be used for the Rum River Meadows. The inclusion of trees in this setback <br /> zone is desirable. <br /> <br />19) The culdesac as shown on the Rum River Meadow sketch is approximately 1200 <br /> feet long which is very undesirable and should be limited to 600 feet or less. <br /> Perhaps this dictates that the east end of the development should be used for a park <br /> or playground. <br /> <br />20) A Property Development Notice sign is required at the north end of Potassium <br /> Street tbr the Rum River Meadows project. <br /> <br />21) Can road access to the 28 acre and 10 acre developments be made from County Rd. <br /> 5 thru the S.W. comer of the 211 acre parcel? If so, most of the problems discussed <br /> below regarding Potassium Street would be avoided. <br /> <br /> <br />
