Section 9.~0.37 is hereby repealed and amended to read as follows: Subdivision 1. Purpose. The City Council recognizes it is essential i the health, safety and welfare of the residents of Ramsey and persons working in Ramse thltt the character and quality of the environment be considered to be of major importani in the planning and development of the City. In this regard, the manner in which lan isideveloped and used is of high priority. The preservation of land for park, playgrotm~fl and public open space purposes as it relates to the use and development of land for reside~ fial~ commercial/industrial purposes is essential to the maintaining of a healthful and desin fie ~nvironment for all citizens of the City. The City must not only provide these necessary amenities for our citizens today, but also be insightful to the needs of our future citizens. It is reeogpized by the City Council that the demand for park, playground and public open space witlfin a municipality is directly related to the density and intensity of development permitted ~mdiallowed within any given area. Higher density developments mean greater numbers ~f p~ple and an increased demand for parks, recreational resources and public open spac.~. To disregard this principle is to inevitably over-tax existing facilities and thus, diminish t~e quality of the environment for all. The City'a. C ~o~_prehensive Park and Open Space Plan establishes minimum community criteria f~ meeting the needs of the residents of Ramsey. It is the p0fl. cy of Ramsey that the following standards and guidelines for the dedication of land for park, Playground, and public open space purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of such dextl~fi6n) in the subdividing and developing of land within the City shall be directly related to tlae tlensity and intensity of each subdivision and development. It is further the policy that it: is intended that subdivision dedication shall first be allocated toward deficienei{s itt the subdivision, neighborhood or specific district park(s), then to trails linking panics, ,then community parks, then multi-jurisdictional park(s) in Ramsey. Finally, that dedication fees recognize the impact upon each of these systems by the subdivision of land. Subd, 2. Residential parkland dedications. The amount of land to be dedicat~ by a subdivider for residential development shall be based on the gross area of the propos~d sabdivision, proposed type of dwelling unit and density.
