He explained that current City Code does not address the <br />development envisioned for the town center site, therefore the Ramsey City Code will need to <br />accommodate rural development, suburban development and traditional development. As the <br />code pertains to the town center area, it will have to be something that can deal with things that <br />might change over time. The City needs to establish principals that can guide them during the <br />process. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired as to how the City could regulate how a district will look..* <br /> <br />Mr. Gordon replied that the City should have regulations written into City Code. He reviewed <br />the approach the different communities took to get to the point of development. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak noted that it was very likely that the City will have one developer <br />developing the entire town center site. <br /> <br />Chapter 9/April 25, 2002 <br />Page 1 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
