Mr. Gerald Zimmerman Page 2 April 12, 1988 In addition, ~:et Council is reluctant to expand the Urban Area because Ramsey has not complied with the four lots per 4C acre policy in the Rural Area. The City proposed the plan of requiring all the soils on a lot to be Class I. This could reduce the desnity to approximately one lot per five acres depending on the soils in the area. Met Council staff stated that this'is a step in the right direction but recommends that the one lot per ten acre policy be enforced. To allow existing landowners to develop, they said the City could set a date in the future, possibly late 1989, when the new policy (one lot per ten acres) would be effective. To address the city's immediate development re.cuests, Met Council staff suggested that the City submit an amendmen~ to its Comprehensive Plan to expand the Urban Service Areas. This amendment would be a preliminary expansion of the year 2000 Urban Service Area boundary and the City could continue to pursue the ultimate expansion of the 2000 Urban Service Area. City Council directed city staff and planning conumission to prepare the preliminary amendment to the 2000 Urban Se~zice Area and hold a public hearing on the amendment on April 5, !988. The developer has petitioned the City of Ramsey to provide sewer and water se_-vice to and within the proposed plat. A study to extend the utilities to the plat was completed showed that the sewer and water lines in the River's Bend plat can be extended to sera, ice this plat. The feasibility to provide the laterals within the plat is pending the outcome of the amendment of the area to the year 2000 Urban Serx~ice Area.
