4. Assumptions and Projections <br />The following is a list of assumptions that were considered when projecting future population, <br />household and employment figures for Ramsey. <br />1. Due to its location at the edge of the region, the automobile will continue to be the primary <br />means of transit for Ramsey residents. <br />2. Travel demand by personal automobile will continue to grow faster than Ramsey's population <br />unless there is a significant increase in the cost of gasoline. Traffic volumes will continue to <br />grow no matter how fast or how much the City of Ramsey grows or regardless of whether a <br />new bridge over the Mississippi River is built. <br />3. Due to the nature of soils in the City (the Anoka sandplain) rural residential development <br />can be supported indefinitely with on -site sewage treatment systems, provided sufficient land <br />is available to accommodate two drain fields. Ultimately, such areas may require public water <br />service. <br />4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />The expansion of the schools that serve Ramsey students will be necessary whethS\ t <br />urban growth occurs in Ramsey in any significant amount. <br />The public sanitary sewer and water systems have ample capacity and/or <br />to accommodate all of the urban development possible in Ramsey. <br />The Metropolitan Council may not support the expansion of ru <br />at densities of less than one unit per 10-acres unless a meanin <br />and more urban housing at higher densities result. More <br />MUSA expansion. <br />7. The Metropolitan Council will not compel the C. <br />residential areas where substantial subdivisioti� <br />resubdivision. ` <br />8.

Urban growth will generally occur in a�ls y direg Highway 10 if MUSA <br />expansion is authorized. Ov <br />11. Ramsey's persons per household figure curre 'mated at 3.1 persons per household in <br />2000 will likely decline to 3 persons per househ ld or less by 2010. By 2030, the household <br />figure is expected to decline to 2.67 persons per household. <br />The future growth of Ramsey depends on several factors. It depends on the recent charter <br />amendments, which limit the ability of expanding MUSA, particularly for residential <br />development and the ability to manage congestion levels on Highways 10 and 47 at safe and <br />operable levels. It depends on regional and local pressures and cooperation on deciding whether to <br />build another bridge over the Mississippi River. It also depends on the ability of the community <br />to diversify its employment base by attracting business other than manufacturing. These are only <br />a few factors that impact future growth, all of which are interrelated. <br />In order to plan for growth in the Twin Cities Metropolitan region, the Metropolitan Council <br />has prepared population, household and employment projections for metropolitan cities. <br />city of R \MSEY <br />Lenihil ipsant quiamen imostem et <br />optaectem volupid itibus enimagnis <br />dolupturibus mos magnim re <br />mossusd aeprae.
