L .P� I ' 198 e City of N O KA- N City Hall 2015 First Avenue Anoka, Minnesota 55303 (612) 421 -6630 RESOLUTION 81 -26 WHEREAS, the City of Ramsey has submitted their Comprehensive Plan to the city of Anoka for review pursuant to the requirements of the ifetropolitan Land Planning Act; and WHEREAS, as a nearly fully developed community and freestanding growth center, the City of Anoka has an interest in the character, pattern, scale, and timing of development in adjacent developing communities such as the City of ar msey. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Anoka City Council hereby submits the following comments regarding the City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan; 1. That the City of Anoka strongly approves of provisions in the City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan for multiple family housing districts, develop- ment of an adequate park system, and creation of a paratransit system and park 'n' ride sites. 2. That the City of Anoka opposes the UMB -H zone along the east side of High- way 47 which is adjacent to the existing single family area in Anoka. A lower density transition zone is needed in this location. 3. The City of Anoka has serious concern about the 1P,1B -H and UMB -M zones between Hwy. 47 and the Ru Rive and be c ause city park land. We immed concerned river from the Anoka High School about setbacks from the river and building heights. 4. The City of Anoka has concern about the B -1 zone at the intersection of Hwy. 47 and Industry Avenue because our proposed Land Use Plan indicates medium density residential use on the southwest corner of this intersection. A site development plan for this B -1 zone in Ramsey should take our pro - posed use into account. 5. The City of Anoka questions the length of the B -1 commercial strip along Hwy. 10. This strip is 3 miles in length and shows some existing resi- dentially platted lots for commercial use on the west end. We believe this commercial area is excess and will have -a detrimental effect upon existing commercial development in Anoka. 'G. The City of Anoka questions the size and location of other zoning districts including: a) The excessive size of the industrial zone extending 3-'a miles along the north side of the Burlington Northern Railroad which may have a detrimental effect upon other industrial areas which will soon be served by utilities.
