An examination of existing industrial uses and acoess discloses three partial loop roadways presently cc~ off of Sunfish Take Bculeval~, Industrial Boulevard or Ramsey Boule.

The proposed layout of streets and lots rmdiatir~ from that collector road ~ provide an integrated development pattezn. This pattezn further hinders development of the Ramsey area in that no high-powered connection is proposed as part of these plans for the 'existing Thurston overpass. The problem, of course, is that Anoka has spent a great deal of Municipal State-Aid funds in advmnc~ the bridge and is reluctant to share that accessibility with competing areas. It also is c~m~itted to high quality development and does not perceive that Ramsey has 'the same ~itment. There is an ~tage to planning t. he er~ area of bo~d% ~ities as an markeV~h/~ity of the p~-~perty in Ramsey and Anakm. A tiered approach to industrial use locations could be es~b. lished with enforceable develui,,~ent guidelines to assure mutual investment pro~tion. It is also possible to consider the joint financing or relief financing for fu/~re uses.
