The site should be adequately served by existing library and post office facilities. The <br />preferred design includes a community center and new city hall to better serve the City of <br />Ramsey and RTC residents. <br />The RTC and the surrounding area are within School District #11, served by nearby <br />Ramsey Elementary School, Sandburg Middle School and Anoka High School, as well as <br />several private schools. From the Anoka -Hennepin School District, new housing <br />construction in the City of Ramsey impacts school enrollment as listed in Table 28.2. <br />Using the data from the school district and the total residential units from the February <br />28, 2003 RTC concept design, the impact to school enrollment was calculated and is <br />listed in Table 28.3. When residential type was specified as mixed use in the concept <br />plan, the highest impact unit type, —Single Family Homes", was assumed in order to <br />determine the highest possible impact scenario. The unit type -Apartments" in Table <br />28.3 includes apartments and duplexes. All calculations were rounded up to the nearest <br />whole number. Based on statistics and stated criteria, the impact of the RTC on school <br />enrollment will be 830 school age enrollments and 399 preschool enrollments. Because <br />the development will occur over time, not all enrollments will occur at the same time. <br />Also, if the unspecified residential units are not single family homes, the enrollment <br />impact will be significantly less than assumed here. Additionally, the RTC currently <br />maintains that a school will be built on -site, which could absorb some of the additional <br />enrollments. Finally, according to the Anoka -Hennepin School District, new housing is <br />needed in order to replace the 100 graduating students every year. Therefore, as new <br />housing units are constructed in the RTC over time, new students should be absorbed <br />without significant impacts to school enrollment. <br />Table 28.2 City of Ramsey's assumptions for new housing <br />impacts on school enrollment <br />Unit Type <br />No. of School Age <br />Children/ No. of Units <br />No. of Preschool Age <br />Children/ No. of Units <br />Townhouses <br />Apartments <br />Single Family Home) <br />1/8 <br />1/25 <br />2/3 <br />Table 28.3 Impact scenario of proposed RTC development <br />1/25 <br />1/16 <br />1/3 <br />Unit Type <br />Ramsey Town <br />Center New Units <br />New School Age <br />Children <br />New Preschool <br />Age Children <br />Townhouses <br />Apartments <br />Mixed Use <br />Total <br />1154 <br />234 <br />1012 <br />2400 <br />145 <br />10 <br />675 <br />830 <br />47 <br />15 <br />337 <br />399 <br />28-3 <br />
