results in 475 acres total for the 19 year period. The projected sewer connected charge revenue for 2012 to 2031 is tabulated in Table 5.2. Table 5.2 2012 - 2031 Sanitary Sewer Connection Charge Revenue Land Use Units/Area Connection Total Charge Residential 4,940 units $1,271/unit $6,278,740 Commercial/Industrial 475 acres $3,824/acre 1,816,400 Total. $8,095,140 Comparison of Tables 5.1 and 5.2 shows that the projected revenue exceeds the improvement costs by about $2,000,000. This is based on no portions of the improvements being funded by developers. The three areas serviced by the proposed 2012-2031 sewer system improvements have a projected total of 2,935 residential units and 378 acres of commercial/industrial area. Both of these are less than the projected total development for 2012 to 2031. The entire 2031 MUSA consisting of previous MUSA plus the new additions would provide an estimated total of 12,553 residential units with a population of 33,893. This population is well in excess of the estimated 2031 population of 25,828. Based on density and household size criteria used in this Study, the 2030 MUSA would support 2,987 units more than required for the 2031 population. These units would provide sewer connection charge revenue without significant expenses for system improvements. The proposed improvements are sized to accommodate the sewer flows from the entire service area for each improvement including the areas outside of the 2030 MUSA boundary. Therefore, the benefit for these improvements extends outside of the 2030 MUSA. Any MUSA expansions beyond 2030 would generate additional connection charge revenue. The connection charge revenue is based on development rates and therefore if actual rates differ, City of Ramsey Page 5-3 Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan - 2012 Prepared by Bolton & Menk, Inc.
