<br />ISSUE: 1. Property rights not infringed. 2. Keep items out of comp plan to support the <br />cities case in court if challenged. Bob Ramsey. <br />ISSUE: Prop. rights. Ron Hunt. <br />Property Rights <br />1. No 4 in 40 <br />2. Incorporate open space in development (win-win) <br />3. City should pay for additional park or open space <br />4. City invest in comp plan <br />5. Just compensation/incentive to preserve wetlands (buffering) <br /> <br />ISSUE: Growth is NOT inevitable. Kind Probable - Prudent - Rate. Met Council quotas <br />are problem - not solution. No forced sewer and water hookups. Eric Zaetsch. <br />ISSUE: 1. Long term density transition plan. Not based on current or potential property <br />value but overall planning of the city with its residents. Transitions from low, medium, <br />and high density. 2. Residents make decisions on their property. 3. Appropriate zoning to <br />protect current & established property owners. Gary Levine. ' <br />SlJM1\.1ARY OF DISCUSSION: Consensus is absolutely needed between citizens, to <br />work with outside influences/goals [e.g. Met Council]. Hope to form a vision-that is <br />widespread in support, unified even though 100% agreement is impossible. Form based <br />approaches are promising and deserve inclusion in the Comp Planning - outside <br />consulting may be needed. Respects existing neighborhoods is an absolute requirement. <br />Rate, kind, and location of growth must be planned & (can't make out), Flexibility is <br />needed but TRUE density, transition or boundary attention is required - yet flexibility to <br />do a gradient or an open space region (of a real size not a token) with clustering internal <br />and the open areas on the existing perimeter where people live. Accessibility is the key to <br />attracting commercial & restaurant ventures. Job growth goals should look for a major <br />"anchor" site campus as well as smaller employees as non-concentrated. High end jobs <br />are THE GOAL. <br /> <br />ISSUE: Moving a growing nuinber of people without turning Ramsey into a freeway. <br />Mary Jo Olson. . <br />Transportation/Alternatives <br />. Focus on providing facilities/resources so short trips will do it <br />. Interconnections <br />. Become a destination, rather than a pass through for other communities <br />. Insure preservation of businesses along 10/47 as expansion of roads takes place <br />(frontage roads? Alternative to freeway development?) <br />. How do we connect neighborhoods without compromising our natural resources? <br />. We HATE Highway 10!!!! <br />. We need the bridge <br />. Better sidewalk system leading to schools <br />. Complete trail system <br />. Bus service to the "Fertile Crescent" - partner with other suburban bus lines <br />(Medicine Lake Lines) <br />. How do our transportation corridors look: trees, benches, trash receptacles, etc. Pull <br />in bays in scenic spots <br /> <br />City of Ramsey Open Space Event notes <br />May 4-5, 2007 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />138 <br />
