I i I I I I I I I I I I I I I I W~ MANAGEMENT C. Plan Ramsey must wait for final resolution of the CAB interceptor sewer line issue before any sewer construction can be considered within the City. At the present time, the City of Ramsey's on- site sewage system standards meet or exceed state standards. The City will continue to maintain its existing programs to avoid any future pollution problems. However, the City of Ramsey is in the process of planning for municipal sewer as outlined in this plan. The city has also recently completed a comprehensive water study and is planning on installing a water system concurrently with the sewer system. As shown in the tables in appendix C, the projected sewer flows for the Rum River Watershed and the Mississippi River Watershed are 0.389 MGD and 0.464 MGD respectively. To achieve their development goals, Ramsey will be passing a resol- ution requesting that the Metropolitan Council amend their 208 Water Quality Plan to include construction of the second Ramsey connection by 1984. Ramsey will be adopting platting regulatibns to promote gro~fth in the sewered area as discussed on page 89A. These regulations will include a moratorium on development in the transition area. To keep the development within the sewered area, Ramsey will adopt the following policies: 1) Sewer extensions will not be constructed until 70% of the land is developed in industrial/commercial areas and 50% of the land is developed in the residential area. Exceptions to this policy are if the developer agrees to finance all trunk oversizing costs, he will be allowed to develop. 2) The city will pick up oversizing costs on an interim basis until industrial/commercial areas are 70% developed and resid- ential areas are 50% developed. This will provide the oppor- tunity for those areas with sewer and water to develop their property so'they can afford to pay their assessments. It will also helplto minimize leapfrog development. 7-9-81 9-16-81 ?1
