City of Ramsey 15153NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE (612) 427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 TDD (612) 427-8591 November 10, 1998 Mr. Craig Gray, P.E. Anoka City Engineer 2015 First Avenue North Anoka, MN 55303 Re: Storm Sewer Connection Dear Mr. Gray: This letter is being written pursuant to Mr. John Harwood's memorandum of September 28, I998 regarding the possibility of a storm water connection between Ramsey and Anoka near our common border between the Ramsey Business Park 95 and Anoka's Enterprise Park. At a subsequent meeting, you requested a map showing the drainage area that would be contributing to the storm water flow from Ramsey into Anoka. The limit of this area would be the entire area bounded on the north by C.R. #116, on the west by C.R. #57, on the south by the Burlington Northern Railroad, and on the east by the City ofAnoka. I calculate this area to be 113.8 acres. The City of Ramsey has made liberal use of on-site ponding wherever feasible, with the overflow ultimately being transmitted to the large detention pond located in the southeasternmost corner of our industrial park. It would be a safe assumption to conclude that any discharge from the City of Ramsey's system would flow through the City of Anoka's system after the peak flow period from Anoka's storm discharge. Mr. Harwood is familiar with the drainage characteristics of this area and can confirm this assumption. Should we decide that this would be the alternative to pursue, calculations can be submitted to verify this assumption. At this time, the City of Ramsey would request that you advise us of the cost of such a proposed connection. Certainly that will be a factor in making the decision between the available alternatives. Sincerely, CITY OF RAMSEY City Engineer SJJ/jmk cc: James E. Norman, City Administrator Dean Kapler, Director of Public Works I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
