Application <br />In order to more efficiently utilise and <br />conserve scarce land resources and eliminate <br />the costly duplication of facilities and <br />services, it is becoming increasingly <br />important for City and county governments, <br />school districts and metropolitan <br />governmental units to work together to <br />maximize the benefits of various facilities <br />and services to all the residents of this area. <br />On the community level, this means that the <br />City should work with the school district to <br />coordinate the provision of recreational <br />facilities and the programming of recreational <br />activities. Relative to adjacent suburban <br />communities and the metropolitan area as a <br />whole, facilities and services such as parks <br />and open space areas, libraries, and public <br />utilities should be planned and developed on <br />a coordinated basis. <br />The City will continue to be an active <br />member of the Ramsey County League of <br />Local Government. Through this <br />organization, Little Canada will maintain <br />working relationships with surrounding <br />communities within the region. <br />Goal <br />• Plan public systems such as storm <br />drainage, water supply and sanitary <br />sewer along with their private <br />extensions in a comprehensive <br />manner to utilize fully the natural <br />environmental conditions minimizing <br />development cost. <br />SYSTEMS 7 <br />Application <br />Municipal services should be planned in an <br />orderly, comprehensive manner ensuring <br />consideration as to how development might <br />possibly affect each system and the impact <br />upon the environment. Due consideration <br />should be given so that planned development <br />as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan <br />be adequately served. To ensure that <br />hazardous situations such as inadequate water <br />supply will not occur, continually update the <br />municipal systems in accordance with the <br />Comprehensive Plan and growth. <br />Goal <br />• Constantly update and maintain the <br />Comprehensive Plan to reflect <br />changing community needs and <br />priorities. <br />Application <br />Since planning revolves around the element <br />of change, planning must be a continuous <br />process; flexible and adaptable to change <br />through periodic reexamination of problems <br />and issues, plans and products. In the case <br />where a plan is viewed as a static document, <br />given changing needs, priorities, trends, <br />economic conditions, etc., the plan will serve <br />only as a temporary decision - making guide. <br />As situations change, the plan will become <br />increasingly less reliable as a basis from <br />which to make planning and development <br />decisions. <br />LITTLE CANADA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />Page 64 <br />LOCAL AND REGIONAL SYSTEMS <br />
