Title:

Approve Greenway and Recreation District Maps as Working Documents for Park Planning

Purpose/Background:

The purpose of this case is to approve both the greenway plan (Circle of Ramsey) and the Recreation District Maps as draft, or working documents as the basis for park planning for the Comprehensive Plan and the Park System Plan.

Notification:

Observations/Alternatives:

Attached are the two referenced maps (within one attachment).  For the meeting, Staff will review the 'theory' on the concept of park planning using Recreation Districts for park planning. 

Additionally one outcome of the Fall Semester of the Resilient Communities Project was a series of posters that discusses the city-wide greenway plan, referred to as the Circle of Ramsey.  Attached is a series of (95%) draft posters that consist of; an Introduction, Benefits, 'Inspiring Greenways', Community Profile, example gap areas in Ramsey, etc.  These help tell the story on value of greenways, but more specifically, how park planning city-wide using the Circe of Ramsey as a foundational element, can have value for all of Ramsey residents.

Funding Source:

Funding for 2017-18 park planning was included within the 2017 General Fund Budget.

Recommendation:

Staff  recommends approving the Circle of Ramsey and Recreation District Maps as working documents for park planning.

Action:

Motion to recommend/not recommend approving the Circle of Ramsey and Recreation District Maps as working documents for park planning.
