Gross density means the number of units per <br />total acres (both developable and undevelopable lands). Net density means the number of units per 'usable' <br />acres (i.e. excluding wetlands and major road R.O.W. as identified on the comprehensive plan <br />transportation map). <br /> <br />Ramsey Comprehensive Plan <br />Amended February 26, 2002 <br /> <br />Page V-13 <br /> <br /> <br />
