Conventionally, one would think to <br /> include these segments as in practice they are part of the fabric of the site and one cohesive campus. That <br /> said,following the letter of the Met Council's Planning Handbook the following areas are netted out: <br /> • Delineated Wetland and 16.5 foot wetland buffer: 4.20 Acres <br /> • Lot 2 [The Lord of Life Church Parcel]: 7.02 Acres <br /> • Proposed Park Dedication: 1.62 Acres <br /> This results in a remaining 22.69 acres of residential only land.Using this modified density directed by the <br /> Metropolitan Council,the would result in a density of 20.27 units per acre. <br /> The Metropolitan Council seeks net density of 5 units per acre for the Emerging Suburban Edge <br /> Designation,which the Met Council has deemed the City of Ramsey. Based on the Met Council's formula, <br /> this proposal's 20.27 units/net acre, this project assists the City of Ramsey in meeting its Met Council <br /> density targets while balancing out density, and thus enabling lower density single family home <br /> developments elsewhere in Ramsey. <br /> Page 7 of 11 <br />
