The amendment adds the property to the <br />Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA), updates the City's local sewer staging plan, and amends <br />the City's Mississippi River Critical Area plan. <br />The property is located south of State Highway 10 on the western edge of the City, and is within the <br />Mississippi River Critical Area Corridor and Mississippi National River Recreation Area (MNRRA). <br />This part of the Mississippi River is also a State -designated Wild and Scenic River. (See Figure 1). <br />The neighboring community to the west is Elk River, to the south, Dayton, and to the north, Burns <br />Township. <br />Since the amendment property is located within the Mississippi River Critical Area and Mississippi <br />National River Recreation Area (MNRRA), the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) <br />has final approval of the land use change. The Council staff will forward this report and the Council's <br />final action to the DNR for consideration. <br />No development is proposed for the property at this time. <br />PROPOSED ACTION <br />Staff recommends that the Metropolitan Council: <br />1. Allow the City of Ramsey to put its CPA into effect, with no plan modifications required, <br />following the DNR's final approval of the Critical Area Plan amendment. <br />2. Forward the review report and Council action to the DNR for review and approval. <br />ISSUES <br />None. <br />V IREVIEWSIComnzunitieslRannseylReports\Ramsey 2004 CPA 18160-16 Hwy 10 Reportdoc <br />1 <br />
