Consider Alternative Designs for Lake Ramsey Area

The current design for the Lake Ramsey area includes approximately 8 acres of man-made lake surrounded by open spaces with some retail opportunities spotted at the east and west ends. This area was alose considered for several amenities such as a park, beach, fishing pier, and other passive recreation improvements.

Considerable time has been spent in review of the design in this area, and several HRA members have expressed the desire to consider additional residential options for this area, and we have had some interest in the area from local home builders as well.

The attached plans consider three potential concepts with varying degrees of residential uses in the area.  The best option may be a hybrid of these plans, but the general idea is well articulated for your consideration.

The development team recommends the HRA consider the proposed design concepts, and based on discussion at the meeting, direct the development team to finalize a proposed modification to the current approved development plan to incorporate the residential uses.

Included in existing development management services.

Based on discussion, direct the development team to revise the current development plan and present at a future regular meeting for approval.
