City of AN 0 KA City Hall 2015 First Avenue Anoka, Minnesota 55303 (612) 421-6630 RESoLuTIoN 81-26 ; WHEREAS, the City of Ramsey has submitted t~eir Comprehensive Plan to th~ · City of Anoka for review pursuant to the requirements of the Hetropolitan Land Planning Act; and WHEREAS, as a nearly fully developed community and freestandtn~ 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 Ramsey; ~ NOW THEP. EFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Anoka City Council hereby submits the following comments regarding the City of Ra~sey 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 aq adequate park system, and creation of a poratransit system and park tn' 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 2=noRa has serious concern about the U~-H and UMB-M zones between Hwy. 47 and the Rum River because they are immediately across the river from the Anoka High School'and city park land. We are concerned about setbacks from' the river and building heights. 4. "The City 6f Anoka has concern about ~he B-1 zone at the intersecti°n of Hwy. 47 and Industry Avenue because our proposed Land Use Plan indicates medium density residential use on the sohthwest corner of this intersection. A site development plan for this B-1 zone in Eamsey 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 3¼ miles in length and shows some existing resi- dentially platted lots for co~ercial use on the west end. We believe this commercial area is excess and will have. a detrimental effect upon existing con~hercial development in AnoRa. '' 6. The City of Anoka'questions the size and location of other zoning districts inqluding: a) The excessive size of the industrial zone extending 3!/mfles along the horth side of'the Burlington Northern Railroad which may have a detrimental effect upon'other tndu~trial areas which will soon be served by utilities.
