METROPOLITAN COUNCIL ~Ue,~rs P,~r~. Centre, 230 East lqfih Street, St. Paul, MN. 55101 October 5, 1990 Mr. David Hartley City Administrator City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 RE: City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan Amendment MU'SA 2000 Expansion Metropolitan Council District 9 Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 13834-5 Dear Mr. Hartley: The Metropolitan Council staff has reviewed the city of Ramsey comprehensive plan amendment received by the Council on September 24, 1990. We have determined that the proposed amendment'is incomplete for Council review. The plan amendment does not separately analyze the metropolitan urban service area (..MUSA) e_..~ansio.n and the.~.ransitional.3ffb_/,~'Td~'/~10pmen/:impa'ct~on the re~onal transporl..ation system, ~.p_ec~t~cally the impact on T.H. 10. The Metropolitan Council requests that the plan amendment record the existing conditions on T.H. 10, the impact develo, pment in Ra~msey will have from now to the year 2010~ wi.th and without the land added to the MUSA, .,and account for the additional ~evelopment that n~ay occur due to other changes in the plan. Should this analysis show that there will be a significant level of congestion on T.H: 10~ then ,the city needs to provide data that describes how the city wili correct this problem or to prevent ~/t from~OCCurring such that the metropolitan h.ighway system will not be impacted~. If the city bases its analysis of transportation on Anoka County's proposed transportation plan, the city needs to be aware the amendment has yet to be officially submitted for Council review and, therefore, the Council may have to request an extension on its review period. The plan amendment does not contain a policy for the management of private wastewater treatment plants. Such a policy should be part of the proposed comprehensive plan amendment or part of the city's response to the 1988 sanitary sewer system statement. I
