EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ramsey City Council and Ramsey Economic Development Authority (EDA) have identified the need to prepare for further development of the COR. The City has identified an area of publicly owned land located west of Center Street NW for a potential apartment complex and City park. The area is generally located north of Sunwood Drive NW, east of Xenolith Street NW, South of Ramsey Parkway and west of Center Street NW. This analysis included examining the feasibility of constructing the required supporting public infrastructure, and developing preliminary design layout plans in this area of the COR. A portion of the public improvements adjacent to the area were completed in 2004 along Sunwood Drive NW and in 2014 along Center Street NW. The street and utility improvements completed include construction of a 30-inch trunk sanitary sewer main in Sunwood Drive, an extension of 12-inch sanitary sewer in Center Street, and an extension of 12-inch watermain in Center Street. Future improvements required to serve the study area include: • Construction of Ramsey Parkway west from Center Street NW to Xenolith Street NW, • Construction of Ramsey Parkway west from Xenolith Street NW to Zeolite Street, • Expansion of Center Street NW north to Ramsey Parkway, • Construction of Xenolith Street NW, • Construction of Yolite Street NW between Ramsey Parkway and Sunwood Drive, • Extension of an 8-inch sanitary sewer line along Xenolith Street NW, • Looping an 8-inch water main along Xenolith Street and Ramsey Parkway, • Relocation of a 15-inch trunk sanitary sewer line along Ramsey Parkway, • Use of a regional rate control basin to maintain existing storm water flow rates in the COR, • Construction of a 30-inch regional pond outlet pipe along Yolite Street NW, • Installation of street lighting, trails/sidewalks, and landscaping consistent with City Policy, and • Obtaining of ROW required for improvements during the platting process. The total for the roadway, trail, sidewalk, street lighting, lateral sanitary sewer and water main improvements is estimated at $3,652,000. The total trunk related improvements for sanitary sewer and storm sewer is estimated at $215,000. The total landscaping improvements along Sunwood Drive from Zeolite Street to Sapphire Lane is estimated at $691,000. The costs are considered project costs and include 30% contingencies and project development costs (administrative, engineering, and fiscal). The information presented in this report is intended to allow for discussions with property owners and developers, as well as allow the City to begin considering funding options Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc.
