2001 Comprehensive Plan <br />Amended February 26, 2002 <br /> <br />10. Summary of the forces that have shaped the community <br />Today Ramsey is a community that has been shaped by many forces. Some <br />forces are a result of nature and some forces are a result of urbanization. Natural <br />forces include the glacial formations, the landscape, the Mississippi River, the <br />Rum River, the Anoka Sand Plain, and the watersheds and the ditches that drain <br />them. The forces resulting from urbanization that have given Ramsey its <br />physical shape include the suburban residential housing demand (large lots), <br />MUSA line, zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations, Trunk Highways 10 <br />and 47, and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. <br /> <br />All of the forces summarized above have made Ramsey the community that it is <br />today and will continue to shape the City of Ramsey well into the future. <br /> <br />2001 Ramsey Comprehensive Plan <br />Amended February 26, 2002 <br /> <br />Page lll- 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
