LAND USE ISSUES OF ADJACENT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS In December, 1993, RLK Associates surveyed local governments adjacent to the City of Ramsey to determine whether a potential existed for complementary and\or conflicting land uses and land use policies. A summary of these meetings was conveyed to the Planning Commission and City staff in a memorandum dated December 27, 1993. The following is a summary of our meetings with local governments adjacent- to the City of Ramsey: City of Anoka. The City of Anoka has retained a consultant to evaluate the land uses, subdivision requirements and transportation facilities within the Anoka Enterprise Park. The Enterprise Park is located south of TH 116, east of the City of Ramsey and north of TH 10. This study should be monitored due to the residential land uses in the City of Ramsey north of TH 116, and possible industrial land uses in the City of Anoka located south of TH 116. The future land development activities at the intersection of TH 116 and TH 47 should be closely monitored due to the potential for future commercial land use growth in the area. Transportation access to and within the Anoka Enterprise Park should be reviewed by the City of Ramsey. The existing Thurston Ave. has the potential to carry a much higher volume of commercial and industrial traffic. Extension of McKinley Street west of Thurston Ave. to Sunfish Lake Blvd. NW has not been endorsed by Anoka but could benefit the City of Ramsey as a north frontage road for TH 10, while also serving the Anoka Enterprise Park. City of Champlin. The City of Champlin remains opposed to any bridge in its community that crosses the Mississippi River. The result of this is that the City of Ramsey and the City of Dayton may be the next likely candidates for a Mississippi River crossing.
