Overall Framework - Context <br /> Overview <br /> The COR is a unique area within the City; but it is a part of, and connected with, a variety of local, city- <br /> wide and regional systems(See Figure 1: Development Master Plan 5.03). Each development project, <br /> whether a single building, one lot, or a series of blocks, must provide reasonable links to these systems <br /> as a primary design objective. <br /> Guideline Recommendations <br /> To ensure that The COR takes full advantage of local and regional systems, development should: <br /> • Provide safe, easily recognized connections to city, county and state trail corridors <br /> • Make provisions for city and regional transit service and amenities (including the Northstar Line) <br /> and encourage their use <br /> • Tie into, and improve,the Ramsey utility network <br /> • Integrate with and complement the existing(and future) street framework <br /> • Become an integral part of the city and county drainage/stormwater management plan <br /> Objectives <br /> • Overall COR design (and all new private development within The COR)will accommodate <br /> stormwater from new projects and from off-site, and highlight stormwater features as an <br /> amenity <br /> • Bikeways and pedestrian routes into The COR from adjacent neighborhoods must be designed <br /> for safety and ease of access, suggesting that a person on a bicycle has an equally accessible <br /> route to downtown. <br /> • Parks and open space will be easily accessible to all COR residents,visitors, people who work <br /> here and also for the citizens of Ramsey and the surrounding area.This connected green system <br /> is reminiscent of the world renowned `Grand Rounds' of Minneapolis. <br /> Design Framework-The COR Page 3 <br /> February 28, 2012 <br />
