At Metropolitan Council June 23, 2004 Patrick Trudgeon, Assistant Community Development Director City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Blvd. Ramsey MN 55303-6140 RE: City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan Amendment Hwy 10 Mixed Use Area Metropolitan Council Referral File 18160-16 Metropolitan Council District 9 (Natalie Steffen) Dear Mr. Trudgeon: Uk At today's meeting, the Metropolitan Council took final action on the City's comprehensive plan amendment. The amendment proposes to change the land use designation of a 50 -acre property from Rural Development to Mixed Use, adds the property to the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA), and updates the City's local sewer staging plan. The amendment also changes the City's Mississippi River Critical Area Plan. The Council recommended that the City put the amendment into effect, with no plan modifications, following the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) final approval of the Critical Area Plan amendment, and to forward the review report and recommendations to the DNR for review and approval. A copy of the staff report is attached; another copy has been sent to the DNR. Under state laws, only after written approval from the DNR can plans, ordinances, and amendments affecting lands within the Critical Area Corridor be enacted by local units of government and become legally effective. The Council must submit the amendment and an evaluation of the amendment's consistency with regional objectives and Executive Order 79-19 to the DNR within 60 days of receipt. Under the Critical Areas Act, the DNR has forty-five days from receipt of the Council's recommendation to review the amendment for its consistency with Executive Order 79-19 and other state laws. The DNR will contact the City directly. The amendment's information summary and maps will be appended to the City's plan in the Council's files. If you have any questions about the review, contact Tori Dupre, principal reviewer, at 651 602- 1621.
