City of �� <br />RAMSEY <br />August 7, 2018 <br />City of Dayton <br />Attn: Tina Goodroad <br />12260 South Diamond Lake Road <br />Dayton, MN 55327 <br />Re: North Dayton Development AUAR <br />Dear Ms. Goodroad, <br />7550 Sunwood Drive NW • Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />City Hall: 763.427.1410 • Fax: 763.427.5543 <br />www.cityoframsey.com <br />Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the North Dayton Development AUAR. The City <br />of Ramsey has no formal objection to the AUAR; however, we do have several comments that we wanted <br />to forward to you for consideration/inclusion. <br />The project area that this AUAR encompasses is directly south of the corridor the City of Ramsey has <br />identified for a future bridge crossing. Ramsey wants to ensure that there is continued dialogue and <br />cooperative efforts between the two communities to formalize a future bridge crossing corridor. It <br />appears that Zanzibar Avenue could serve as that corridor. Section #18 (Transportation) could be <br />expanded to include acknowledgement of reserving space for a corridor to facilitate a future bridge <br />crossing, which would also give residentf Dayton a more direct connection to transit (Northstar <br />Commuter Rai <br />Portions of the project arencludri the MRCThe new MRRCA standards address visual impacts <br />from the river and views fro ther communities. While it appears that the actual development area is <br />not directly adjacent to the Mississippi River, we ask that you be cognizant of these new standards as this <br />development project unfolds over the course of the next 10-15 years. <br />Again, we appreciate the opportunity to review and provide comment on the AUAR. We wish you luck <br />with this development project and hope that, at some future point, there will be bridge connecting North <br />Dayton Development with The COR in Ramsey. <br />Sincerely, <br />Chris Anderson <br />City Planner <br />
