<br /> <br /> <br />IV.SEWER TRUNK FUND <br />The 167/47 Node is not currently connected to City sanitary sewer service. <br />Extending sanitary sewer service to this node will make properties more attractive <br />for future development and will provide existing property owners with an alternative <br />to the use of septic tanks. <br /> <br />Presently, the City of Ramsey is not willing to fully fund a special sanitary sewer <br />service line to the 167/47 Node. However, if a property owner (or developer) was <br />willing to share the cost of extending sewer service, the City would be willing to <br />discuss an agreement. <br /> <br />NOTES: <br />167/47 Node is estimated to be $1.5M. It is estimated, at full build out, the <br />special 167/47 Node sewer trunk line would recapture $500,000-$750,000 <br />in sewer trunk fees (based on 2012 adopted sewer trunk fees). Therefore, a <br />shortfall of $750,000-$1M in funding would occur. <br /> <br />Additionally, extending an undersized, special, sanitary sewer line to the <br />167/47 node may result in extra costs (in the long run) if the City ever <br />decided to serve the north east portion of the Ramsey with sanitary sewer <br />service. <br /> <br />Today, the City does have sufficient trunk fund dollars to pay for the <br />167/47 Node special sanitary sewer line. However, the City is planning for <br />sanitary sewer service in three other future growth locations in Ramsey. <br />Unlike the 167/47 Node, said areas do have sufficient forecasted <br />development capacity to fully recapture the cost of proposed future sanitary <br />sewer trunk lines. <br /> <br />Public Input <br />Two levels of public input were critical to this Statement of Goals: (A) Primary Property Owners; and (B) <br />Surrounding Property Owners. <br /> <br /> <br />A.Primary Property Owners: <br />Primary property owners are outlined in Appendix B. <br /> <br />The City does support facilitating an ownership meeting group to brainstorm options, share <br />information and to investigate opportunities for redevelopment and additional uses that are <br />compatible with the surrounding residential area. This effort will be led by the Economic <br />Development Authority (EDA). <br /> <br />The City desires a consistent, collaborative approach with a single voice amongst all property <br />owners. Several separate messages per individual property owner is not a desired nor <br />effective approach. <br /> <br />The City has received direction from surrounding property owners to market the entire <br />167/47 Node as an opportunity to developersrather than only marketing properties <br />individually. Through the EDA, the City will explore options to support a joint marketing <br />effort for the 167/47 Node. <br />City of Ramsey 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update <br />Land Use Plan <br />Page 13 of 18 <br /> <br />
