METROPOLITAN COUNCIL <br /> 300 Metro Square Building, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 <br /> <br /> May 14, 1982 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Physical Development Committee <br /> <br />FROM: Robert Ryan, Local Planning Assistance <br /> <br />SUBJECT: City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan <br /> M6tropolitan Council District No. 12 <br /> Metropolitan Council Referral File. No. 9040-2 <br /> <br />T m <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY <br /> <br />A. Abstract and Issues <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey is located on the extreme edge of the Metropolitan <br />Urban Service Area. Being located in such a position, the planning <br />challenges facing the city are difficult and complex. The Ramsey <br />plan moves away from past development practices of allowing scattered <br />growth in the rural area and focuses growth to that area (the <br />southeastern corner) of the community which will receive sewer <br />service in the planning period. With adjustments made by Ramsey <br />during the course of review, the plan is in general conformance with.. <br />Council policy plans. No plan modifications are required. <br /> <br />B. A~u_th_o?_i_t.y _f~o~r. R_e_vi~ew_ <br /> <br />Ramsey's comprehensive plan has been prepared and is being reviewed <br />pursuant to the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, Minnesota Statutes <br />Section 473.175 <br /> <br />The plan consists of two documents: the Comprehensive Storm Drainage <br />Plan for the City of Ramsey, February 1980, and the Ramsey Compre- <br />hensive Plan for 1982. During the course of the review, the city has <br />forwarded two sets of revisions for inclusion in the comprehensive <br />plan. The first set of revisions was adopted by resolution of the <br />city council on January 4, 1982. (This revision deleted the <br />transition area, added policies to allow participation in the Ag <br />Preservation Act, added policies dealing with rural residential <br />development, amended the transportation plan to conform to the <br />metropolitan system, and amended the sewer plan to reduce the size <br />of the 1990 Urban Service Area and flow projections.) The second set <br />of revisions was adopted by the city council on March 29, t982. (The <br />second set of revisions further reduced the 1990 Urban Service Area, <br />amended the sewer plan to conform to the metropolitan system, limited <br />residential density outside of the 1990 Urban Service Area to 1/10 <br />except for existing platted lots, and justified the need for a second <br />connection to the metropolitan sewer system.) <br /> <br />This review is being conducted in accordance with the Council's local <br />plan and school program review procedures (see particularly Sections <br /> <br /> <br />
