2.0 <br /> <br />3.0 <br /> <br />PROJECT NEED <br /> <br />The project as proposed serves these needs: <br /> <br />· Provides the primary entrances to the proposed Ramsey Town Center. <br /> Sunwood Drive will be constructed from Ramsey Boulevard to Armstrong <br /> Boulevard and Rhinestone Street will be constructed from .Sunwood Drive <br /> to Bunker Lake Boulevard. <br /> <br />· Provides connection to the City's water system as well as completing the <br /> looping of the 8" trunk water mains stubbed to the east side of the <br /> subdivision. This will also provide fire protection for the Ramsey Town <br /> Center. <br /> <br />· Provides the access to the City's water system both to the area south of <br /> TH 10 at Armstrong Blvd. and west of Armstrong at Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />· Provides connection to the City's sanitary sewer system within the <br /> Ramsey Town Center and north to Ramsey Town Center Gardens. Also <br /> provides sanitary sewer to the area south of TH 10 at Armstrong and west <br /> of Armstrong Boulevard at Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />EXISTING CONDITIONS <br /> <br />The proposed project area consists of approximately 320 acres of basically <br />agricultural land with the exception of some rural single-family residential <br />property. The land within the subdivision is gently sloped with elevations ranging <br />from approximately 860 to 885. <br /> <br />A. Streets and Storm Drainaqe <br /> <br />The existing property is bordered by Armstrong Boulevard to the west, Ramsey <br />Boulevard to the east and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad to the <br />south. Bunker Lake Boulevard borders the east half of the Ramsey Town Center <br />on the north and splits the west half of the Ramsey Town Center as shown on <br />Exhibit A. All of the County Roads are currently 2 lane rural highways. <br /> <br />There is not an underground storm drainage system to collect the storm water. <br />Currently, the project area drains southerly and ponds in the Iow areas and <br />infiltrates into the groundwater. <br /> <br />The Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization will require storm <br />water runoff from the subdivision and other contributing areas to be pre-treated <br />prior to discharging to the Mississippi River. <br /> <br />Page 2 <br />G:\M unicipal~Aramsey\3171 \RA3171FSR.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
