(the ‘Subject Property’); 2.The Planning Commission reviewed the request on December 3, 2020. 3.The Development Review Committee reviewed the two sketch plan and public safety preferred the 19 lot subdivision but agreed there was a path to approval for either option. 4.That at previous City Open Houses, residents preferred more environmental protections, fewer lots adjacent to their properties, and did not support a rezoning or smaller than 2.5 acre lots. 5.The Applicant proposes 2.5 acre lots on private well and septic. 6.The Planning Commission recommended that the Applicant work with City Staff to revise the application and come back with a formal sketch plan application. 7.The Applicant’s preferred vision requires a variance from the Planning Commission for cul-de-sac length, but that the preferred 9 lot layout preserves significant environmental areas and has a low density aligning with resident’s vision for the area. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RAMSEY, ANOKA COUNTY, STATE OF MINNESOTA, as follows: 1) That the Applicant shall work with Ramsey City Staff to further develop their 9 lot concept plan. 2) That the City Council supports environmental protections on the Subject Property, including larger lots, saving significant trees, and extra wetland protections.
