Rural design principles are evident in the plan. <br />2. The site or sites can support two septic drain fields in accordance with Section 7080. <br />3. Owner/developer agree to on-site septic system inspections in accordance with City <br />requirements. <br />4. The plan reflects a strong sensitivity to protecting and enhancing natural resources <br />(wetlands. tree canopy, ponds, drainage ditches, rivers, etc.) particularly in relation to <br />the green way corridor system. <br /> <br />Urban Residential <br /> <br />All urban residential development will be served by public sewer and water according to the <br />development-staging plan. In all cases of urban residential development. there needs to be <br />pedestrian connections to the Ramsey park and trail system. Future developments should be <br />planned to create a oneness with existing development. Densities within the urban residential <br />area may vary within each area as described below; however, an overall gross density of all <br />future urban residential development is targeted at 3 units per acre (a goal consistent with <br />regional growth policy). <br /> <br />Mixed Residential <br /> <br />To achieve part of the vision that was established in the early phases of the <br />Comprehensive Planning process, the future land use plan cans for a mixed residential <br />land use category. Mixed residential is designed to allow a variety of housing types and <br />styles (life-cycle housing) including detaChed single-family (traditional single family <br />homes) and attached single family housing (townhomes and condominums) and two- <br />family homes (twinhomes, duplexes). Different housing styles are intended to be <br />integrated rather than stand alone or used to buffer less desired uses. By being integrated. <br />developments tend to be part of the whole community rather than isolated as an <br />independent piece. This area represents approximately 2,500 acres of total land use in the <br />community two thirds of which have already been developed to single family housing. <br /> <br />In order to ensure that mixed-housing projects can be made viable and acceptable in the <br />face of public opposition, all mixed-housing projects are intended to be subject of a <br />Planned Unit Development (PUD). Individual elements (or housing types) within a PUD <br />may range in densities as long as the overall density of the PUD falls between a minimum <br />density of 2 units per net acre for low density projects to a target density of 4 units per <br />net acre. Density bonuses of up to one unit per net acre would be allowed for projects <br />that include a minimum of 5% of total units as affordable housing or 1 % of developable <br />land (excluding wetlands, steep slopes, lakes, ponds and park dedication) as part of the <br />greenway system or open space. <br /> <br />Mixed Residential Perfonnance Criteria~ PUD's within the mixed residential land use <br />shall adhere to the following performance criteria: <br /> <br />Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. <br /> <br />Ramsey Comprehensive Plan <br />
