The committee <br />consisted of representatives from these cities and <br />representatives from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission <br />and the Metropolitan Council. <br />The CAB interceptor is a sanitary sewer facility provided by the <br />Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC). When this facility <br />was eventually built it opened the northwest part of the <br />metropolitan area to urban -density development by relieving the <br />capacity constraint at the Anoka Wastewater Treatment Plant. <br />The CAB interceptor study had a significant impact on the future <br />land use development decisions and patterns in the City of <br />Ramsey. The City of Ramsey would not have developed urban - <br />density residential and commercial land uses without this <br />sanitary sewer facility. As part of this study, the City also <br />started to consider the necessary policies and implementing tools <br />that would be needed to manage urban -density development. <br />Identified Issues <br />1. The southerly part of Ramsey was within the Metropolitan <br />Urban Service Area (MUSA) and was included within the area <br />of planned urbanization. The City of Ramsey was encouraged <br />to provide sufficient services and facilities to accommodate <br />its share of the total metropolitan growth and to guide that <br />growth into desirable areas in a staged manner. The study <br />committee expressly stated that "no -growth policies are not <br />desirable in this prime growth area except to protect <br />critical environmental areas." <br />2. An interceptor system will be needed to phase out the Anoka <br />Wastewater Treatment Facility and provide sewer service to <br />those communities within the 1990 Urban Service boundary. <br />(See figure 1). <br />3. Reserve capacity will be provided for northern Ramsey and <br />Andover, Dayton and portions of the Elm Creek watershed. <br />4. It was assumed as part of the CAB interceptor study that the <br />City of Ramsey would capture the greatest share of the <br />area's growth. Projected population, household and <br />employment growth included: <br />Working Paper #1 <br />City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan Update <br />Land Use Element 6 <br />
