The AUAR Update was published in the EQB Monitor and notice of availability posted in the official City newsletter. Observations/Alternatives: The preparation of the AUAR Update has been completed with guidance by the EQB and is based on Minnesota Rules 4410.3610, Subp. 4. This is the proposed final version of the AUAR Update, and no further amendments would be processed once adopted by the City Council. Also attached for review is the original AUAR for Ramsey Town Center. Please note that this version does not include all appendices. A full copy of the 2003 AUAR is available in City Hall and is available for viewing upon request. The format of the update is to only note changes from the original document and not redraft the entire document. The Update will sit as an Appendix/Addendum to the original document to preserve the format at content. When a mitigation item is not applicable to this AUAR, it is so stated. Responses to the questions are only provided when there has been a change since the 2003 AUAR. Whenever "no changes" is indicated, refer to the original document. A majority of the changes are related to the current Development Plan for The COR. The analysis appears to indicate that the impacts are generally consistent with the findings of the 2003 AUAR. The document updates current plans, policies, and completed projects (such as Ramsey Boulevard and Sunfish Lake Boulevard). Changes to the document are indicated by bold/italicised text. Appendix C has now been updated and populated with comment received. The draft schedule is as follows: 1. Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) orders AUAR (City is the RGU) on April 23, 2013 2.
