- 11- construction of the lower reaches of the CAB through Champlin and Brooklyn Park by 1981. This lower stretch of the interceptor through Champlin and Brooklyn Park would phase out the Anoka Treatment Plant by carrying the wastewater flow south through other existing interceptors and ultimately to the Metropolitan Waste- water Treatment Plant at Pig's Eye. The Anoka .upper segment of the CAB will be sized for eventual service to Ramsey when the lower reach of the CAB is constructed. A major reason for this delay is that Anoka Treatment Plant has limited reserve capacity, and first priority for allocation of this capacity is given to the City of-Anoka. ~ Anoka is a ' designated Freestanding Growth City and considered part of the current Metropolitan Urban Service Area. Further- more, expansion of the MetropOlitan Urban Service Area to provide additional land for urban development demand in 'the North Minneapolis sector is not needed until the 1980's. Therefore, Ramsey should not plan to become part of the MUSA until metropolitan sewer service is available.. At the earliest, this Will be 1981. -' , ' .--' The Transition and Rural Areas Ramsey's proposed Transition Area includes approximately 5,000 acres of developable land or about 8 square miles. The proposed Rural Area includes about 4,000 acres or 6 square miles. The development, policy is similar for each area -- a 5 acre minimum lot size and overall density of 4 housing units per 40 acres. In addition, within the Transition Area, lots would be designed for fUture re subdivision when municipal water and sewer is available (after .1990) by requiring a minimum lot width of 300 feet. Within the Transition and Rural Areas, there are approxi- mately 750 existing platted lots of 1+ acre in size. The plan does not clearly state what development policy will apply to these platted lots. It appears that these lots could be developed at any time because the City has assumed these lots would accommodate part of the anticipated 1990 population growth. At 3.5 persons/ household, this means that some 2,625 persons are anticipated to locate within the Transition and Rural Area. Whether the proposed density policy of 4 households per 40 acres will apply to these existing lots is not clear.
