Densities within <br />the urban area could range from three to ten units per acre. <br /> <br />o Rural residential provides a more rural setting with predominantly single family <br />homes on large lots with private septic and well systems. Densities in the rural <br />residential area will range form one unit per two acres to one unit per five acres. <br />Lot sizes will depend on the ability of the site to accommodate private septic <br />systems. <br /> <br />o Edges allow for a variety of housing at a variety of densities that are sensitive to <br />and compatible with existing developments. <br /> <br />PlaCB5 to Work aneA Shop <br />Well-planned commercial and industrial development allows a community to function <br />more effectively and efficiently by establishing a sound tax base reducing the burden on <br />residential homesteads. Commercial and industrial developments with municipal services <br />are more likely to be of a higher quality development. Places to work and shop are <br />separated from (but well connected to) places to live. . <br /> <br />Town Cen"t8r <br />Town Center is a place where Ramsey residents go for entertainment, to gather, or to <br />shop. It may include restaurants, a transit hub, small shops. or a grocery store. It would <br />be oriented toward the pedestrian, with human scale buildings and inviting public spaces. <br /> <br />Greenway Corridor5 <br />Greenway Corridors include natural resources such as wetlands, hydric soils, tree canopy, <br />natural vegetation etc... These corridors are environmentalIy sensitive areas, which allow <br />for protection of water quality, wildlife movement, scenic views, and a continuous trail <br />system. Development would D.Qt be prohibited within this corridor; however, efforts to <br />preserve the existing resource base and return areas to their natural state would be highly <br />encouraged. <br /> <br />Hoisington Koegler Group, 111e. <br />
