Mississippi West Mississippi West is a planning area generally south of Highway 10 between Armstrong Boulevard and Bowers Drive. This area is predominantly agricultural. Planned land use within this area is predominantly low density residential, with an area of natural resource protection along the Mississippi River. Development of this area is likely ten (10) to fifteen (years) in the future due to availability of infrastructure (2015 to 2025 timeframe). Connexus Energy is planning a thirty (30) acre solar farm within this planning district in 2018. This area is also the location of a potential extension of Armstrong Boulevard to serve as a future river crossing to the City of Dayton. This improvement is not currently in official regional planning documents and is likely at least twenty (20) years away, if not longer. The cities of Dayton and Ramsey choose to plan for this long-term improvements to protect the necessary corridor. Rum River Retail Node/Rum River Hills The Rum River Retail Node is a 1970s area rural commercial node. This node has shown evidence of blight and vacancy, with some recent renovations of existing structures. The City has excess land for sale, remnant from the construction of Water Tower #3. Rum River Hills Golf Course desires redevelop a portion of their property (two holes only) and reconfigure the two (2) holes displaced by redevelopment. The COR The COR is a 320-acre master -planned community located adjacent to the Northstar Commuter Rail — Ramsey Station (The COR plus surrounding developable area is over 400 acres). Together with adjacent developed and developable area, there are approximately 400 acres of development of a mix of uses. Goals for this development include an identity for the community, a destination for retail to support the local community, walkability, and supportive of commuter -rail transit. The COR is approximately 50% complete, and is likely to experience substantial completion in the next ten (10) years. Ramsey is updating this plan as a separate planning document known as The COR Development Plan Update. Trott Brook A significant area for future development of primarily Low Density Residential uses is planned for north of Trott Brook. Trott Brook is a significant ecological resource for the City to protect, and also serves as an important recreation corridor. This development area will represent the first area in the community north of Trott Brook to receive municipal services (water and sanitary sewer). Immediately adjacent to this area is the site of a planned second elementary school operated by Anoka Hennepin School District #11. Natural Resources Ramsey has established a number of land use goals focused on natural resources. • Enhanced Protection of Natural Resources • Enhanced Recreation Opportunities in Natural Resource Areas • Clean Water and Clean Air • Reduced Waste Stream in Landfills These goals are defined within the Natural Resources Plan City of Ramsey 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update Land Use Plan Page 23 of 26
