e e . Apply the natural resource and site development protection policies to the entire corridor, not just to the riverfront area, "most sensitive areas", or PUD's. In site development policies #15, 16, add the word "bluffs" and change "riverfront area" to river corridor. . Add language from land use plan page 29 to Critical Area land use section, with the specific objective oftransferrirtg development rights from river corridor bluffs and natural resources to areas away from river. . Add to Critical Area land use section an explanation of staging for development to 2010. It appears that some of the area planned for mixed residential would remain rural for the next ten years. Explain how the mixed residential will be applied to already platted lands and homes on septic tanks. . In land use policies #6 and #7, add a provision to require site plan for all developments, other than a single family residence and list the criteria for minimizing corridor impacts. . Add a policy that new or modified utility and transportation facilities shall complement planned ~ I~C/ land and water uses and shall not stimulate incompatible development. . Add soil suitability for septic tanks in development review for any areas where there are and could be on-site waste disposal systems. . Reword land use policy #2 because there is no shoreland requirement in place. Add policies to protect the shoreline area and prevent riverbank erosion. The proposed Critical Area plan supports many resource protection policies in MNRRA and others may be addressed in Wild and Scenic River ordinances. However, the plan should include specific policies for the 300-foot riverfront area, protection and restoration of the 40-foot shoreline, and cultural resource protection and some other policies as described on the attached letter from the National Park Service. Susan Overson, NPS staff, can meet with you to discuss any of the city's concerns with the MNRRA policies. We look forward to finalizing the Ramsey Critical Area plan in the next few weeks with staff and planning commission.
