AMU <br />proposes to construct a new substation on the border of Ramsey and Anoka, within Anoka city <br />limits. <br /> <br />Dan Voss, City of Anoka Electric Utility, explained that their long range plan identified the need <br />for a substation in Ramsey. He indicated that no-build or an underground line are not feasible <br />options; that the only option for meeting the demand for service is an above-ground line through <br />Ramsey. There were three routes reviewed, two of which impacted residential neighborhoods, <br />and the third, which is the preferred route, traverses the Industrial District. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hendriksen requested a comparison of this proposed line with the one that currently <br />runs up Ramsey Boulevard. <br /> <br />Mr. Voss advised that the proposed line would be some 50-70 feet above ground. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission proceeded to review the Findings of Fact. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Holland that #2 through #5 <br />would remain as presented. <br /> <br />Motion carded.
