Ramsey will evolve through citizen -driven, collaborative processes that respect the balance and connectivity <br />between its unique urban, rural, and natural environment for current and future generations. <br />Trott Brook <br />A significant area for future development of primarily Low Density Residential uses is planned for north of <br />Trott Brook. Trott Brook is a significant ecological resource for the City to protect, and also serves as an <br />important recreational corridor. This development area will represent the first area in the community north of <br />Trott Brook to receive municipal services (water and sanitary sewer). <br />Immediately adjacent to this area is the site of a planned second elementary school operated by Anoka <br />Hennepin School District #11. <br />Natural Resources <br />Ramsey has established a number of land use goals focused on natural resources. <br />• Enhanced Protection of Natural Resources <br />• Enhanced Recreation Opportunities in Natural Resource Areas <br />• Clean Water and Clean Air <br />• Reduced Waste Stream in Landfills <br />These goals are defined within the Natural Resources Plan <br />There are no known aggregate resources within the community. <br />Special Resources Plan <br />Ramsey has two (2) special resources within the community. <br />1.
