City of Ramsey 2030 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 5: Land Use 4. Provide safe walkway and trail linkages from the Town Center Mixed -Use area to other public facilities, major employment centers (such as Ramsey Business Park 95) and residential neighborhoods. 5. Encourage the Northstar Corridor Development Authority to consider the Town Center Mixed -Use area site for a commuter rail station site and work with the corridor to plan for such a facility. 6. Communicate with Anoka County and MnDot regarding development impacts associated with a potential bridge crossing. 8. Encourage all high -density residential developments to include a commercial/retail component within the same building at street level. 5. Staging of Development--MUSA Expansion Future expansion of Urban Services must be done in a manner consistent with the provisions and process outlined in the City Charter. Between 2008 and 2030, sewered development will continue in a contiguous fashion from the existing sewered areas. However, since large portions of the city have already been developed at in a very low density pattern, it is unlikely that many of these areas will be served by municipal services before 2030. Based on extensive public input, it was determined that it was logical to extend services north of Trott Brook with the understanding that private development would likely bear the cost of any future extension. This area is the last area of the city that has significant undeveloped larger lots, which provide the opportunity for development concepts which incorporate key elements such as density transition and natural resources protection and still allow for economic feasibility. Table 5-4 demonstrates the staging of sewered development in 5-year increments to 2030 consistent with the 2030 Land Use Plan map. Cite of Ramsey 2030 Comprehensive Plan Page 5-33
