Policies <br />General <br />Districts/Land Use <br />Ramsey will implement the policies of the Critical Area by adopting the new districts within our Zoning <br />Code. <br />Primary Conservation Areas <br />Ramsey will encourage conservation subdivision design to protect Primary Conservation Areas. <br />Conservation Subdivision Design will allow the clustering of lots in exchange for permanent protection of <br />Primary Conservation Areas. Ramsey will also continue its proactive approach to subdivision design by <br />encouraging setbacks and adequate lot depth to preserve Primary Conservation Areas. <br />Public River Corridor Views <br />Ramsey will strive to work with applicable partners, especially Anoka County Parks, to improve access to <br />Public River Corridor Views. <br />Restoration Priorities <br />Ramsey will continue to implement pilot demonstration projects and incentives to encourage <br />restoration of priority areas. <br />Surface Water Uses <br />Ramsey will continue to support Anoka County's operation of a Boat Launch along Traprock Street. <br />Water -Oriented Use <br />There are no private Water -Oriented Uses planned along the shoreline of the Mississippi River. <br />However, the Mississippi West Regional Park will be a primary access to encourage interaction with the <br />Mississippi River. There is also a future local park planned west of Mississippi West Regional park. <br />Open Space & Recreation Facilities <br />Ramsey will continue to support planning and implementation for Mississippi West. Ramsey will <br />continue to own and maintain Riverdale Park. Ramsey will continue to plan for a new municipal park <br />along the Mississippi River between the Alpaca Estates and Bowers neighborhoods. <br />Transportation & Public Utilities <br />Ramsey will continue to support future planning for the future Mississippi River Crossing to the City of <br />Dayton in Hennepin County. <br />Ramsey will continue to support Connexus Energy's electric transmission line across the Mississippi River <br />to the City of Dayton. <br />Natural Resources Planning <br />Ramsey undertook two (2) comprehensive inventories in the mid-2000s; a Natural Resources Inventory <br />(NRI) and a Wetland Inventory. Both of these data sets are referenced any time a new development is <br />proposed. These data sets help inform Ramsey if there are significant and/or high value natural resources <br />within a development site that may warrant greater protections. While both provide valuable insight, Ramsey <br />acknowledges that both require periodic updates to ensure that the data is accurate and relevant. There has <br />
