METROPOLITAN COUNCIL Suite 300 Metro Square Building, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 MEMORANDUM March 8, 1979 SUBJECT: TO: City of Ramsey CC: Jim Barton Bob Mazanec FROM: Lee Starr Local Planning Assistance Staff Ramsey Planning Issues During the informal review of existing Ramsey planning documents several potential issues of Metropolitan Council concern were identified. Some of these issues were also identified during the previous Metropolitan Council review of the Ramsey Urban Planning district report in 1977. The identified issues represent matters of Metropolitan Council staff concern in terms of possible inconsistencies between Ramsey's existing plans and the Development Framework, and the 208 Water Quality Management Plan. Ramsey should be aware of these issues as planning under the Land Planning Act is completed. It is hoped that through continued dialogue between Ramsey and Metropolitan Council staff that these issues may be resolved. A. Site of the city's 1990 urban service area The Ramsey Urban Planning District report indicates a 1990 urban service area of about 2.9 square miles. The report also shows an adjacent industrial area of 2.5 square miles and a business area of approximately .4 square miles along Highway lO just west of Anoka. Although the report does not specifically indicate the timing of urban development in the industrial and commercial areas, sewer service scheduling in the city's Comprehensive Sewer Plan indi- cates these areas may be expected to urbanize before 7990. Analysis of the Comprehensive Sewer Plan indicates the following population or population equivalents and associated average sewage flows from these areas. CSP Population Average Sewer (population Sewerage District Size equivalent) Flow 1990 Urban A 2.2 sq.mi. 7724 (10,144) 1.25 MGD Planning District B (part) .67 sq.mi. 3839 .27 MGD Industrial Area I&J (part) 2.5 sq.mi. (27,980) 1.96 MGD Highway lO Commercial Area I&K (part) .42 sq.mi. (5,420) .38 MGD 5.79 sq.mi. 11,563(55,107) 3.86 MGD Thus it appears that Ramsey is planning a 1990 urban development area of 5..8 square miles with a residential population of 11,563 generating .81MGD ofsewage flow, and industrial and commercial development generating 3.05 MGD of flow.
