existing conditions EXISTING LAND USE The majority of residential development in Ramsey Township has taken place along Ramsey Blvd., especially between 149th. Lane N.W. and 167th. Avenue N.W. There are numerous other subdivisaons in other parts of _the township: several lie near the Rum River in addition to some along St. Francis Blvd. and in the northwest corner of the township along County Road 83. A few others are scattered throughout the township. The random location of subdivisions would indicate that when and where land becomes available, it is readily purchased and developed. There are a few farms remaining in Ramsey township, mostly in the areas farthest from Anoka, to the northwest. These farms contain the bulk of the undeveloped land that remains in the township, although many farmers have obviously already begun to sell portions of their farmland to interested developers. There exist a number of single family dwellings scattered throughout the township, primarily alongside roadways. There are also two mobile home parks in the township, both on Highways 10 and 52. One is just to the west of the Anoka City Limits on the south side of the highway, with approximately 40 units. The other is just west of Gounty Road 57, to the north of the highway, containing about 90 units.
