The age of these systems are beginning to experience their planned <br />lifespan. If properly maintained, these systems are a completely acceptable means of treating <br />wastewater. If left unmaintained and/or repaired, these systems present a threat to ground water <br />quality and public health. Our community helps manage some 4,000 individual and private septic <br />systems. We see an opportunity to improve the lines of communication with septic owners and provide <br />resources to extend the useful life of said systems. Simple strategies exist in our everyday life to protect <br />the integrity of these systems, whether it is laundry, bath, dishes, or restrooms to name a few. <br />• What simple strategies exist for septic owners to maximize the lifespan of these systems? <br />• How should our community best communicate these strategies to our residents? <br />Project No. RCP-15: A Gathering Within: An Attraction Beyond (The COR Development <br />Plan Update) <br />Project Lead: <br />Tim Gladhill, Community Development Director <br />7550 Sunwood Dr NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />763-433-9826 (direct and cell) <br />tgladhill@cityoframsey.com <br />Project Description <br />The City's Comprehensive Plan includes a Development Plan for The COR, a mixed -use, transit -oriented <br />development along the Northstar Commuter Rail Corridor. The City is in the process of updating The <br />COR Development Plan, and is seeking assistance in reconciling a revised/restated vision with <br />infrastructure analysis. The project will also provide an opportunity to analyze cost -benefit ratio and <br />innovative ways to achieve a unique vision. The project will also include opportunities for retail analysis, <br />parking district strategies and plans, architectural design standards, and strategies to integrate public <br />engagement into policy analysis. <br />• How do we best integrate public engagement in plan development in a timely fashion? <br />• Is the current land use plan sustainable from a visionary and economic standpoint? <br />• How do we best measure market relevance and return on investment? <br />• How do we best maximize future land use? <br />• How can we best accommodate incremental improvements without losing the ability for key <br />investments such as parks and parking districts? <br />City of Ramsey — Resilient Communities Program Application; February, 2017; 2/9/2017 10:30 AM <br />G:\ComDev\Landuse Applications\2016\16-99 Resilient Communities Project\Full Application\Preparation of Application\Resilient Communities <br />Project CC Authorize.docx <br />
