AMENDMENT. <br /> <br />Chapter 170.06 of the City Code is amended as follows: <br /> <br />170.06 PARK AND OPEN SPACE DEDICATION <br /> <br />170.061 PURPOSE <br /> <br />The City Council recognizes it is essential to the <br />health, safety and welfare of the residents of Ramsey and <br />persons working in Ramsey, that the character and quality <br />of the environment be considered to be of major <br />importance in the planning and development of the City. <br />In this regard, the manner in which land is developed an.~. <br />used is of high priority. The preservation of land for <br />park, playground and public open space purposes as it <br />relates to the use and development of land for <br />residential, commercial/industrial purposes is essential <br />to the maintaining of a healthful and desirable <br />environment for all citizens of the City. The City must <br />not only provide these necessary amenities for our <br />citizens today, but also be insightful to the needs of <br />our future citizens. <br /> <br />It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for <br />park, playground and public open space within a <br />municipality is directly related to the density and <br />intensity of development permitted and allowed within any <br />given area. Urban type developments mean greater numbers <br />of people and higher demands for park, playground and <br />public open space. To disregard this principle is to <br />inevitably over-tax existing facilities and thus, <br />diminish the quality of the environment for all. <br /> <br /> <br />
