AMENDMENT. <br /> Chapter 170. 06 of the City Code is amended as follows: <br /> 170. 06 PARK AND OPEN SPACE DEDICATION <br /> 170. 061 PURPOSE <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 and <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 /> 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 /> 1 <br />
