Figure 7. MRCCA Plan Approval Letter <br />DEPARTMENT OF <br />NATURAL RESOURCES <br />April 24, 2020 <br />Tim Gladhill, Community Development Director <br />City of Ramsey <br />7550 Sun wood Drive NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />Re: Conditional Approval of City of Ramsey MRCCA Plan <br />Dear Mr. Gladhill: <br />am pleased to inform you that the h+linnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) conditionally <br />approves the City of Ramsey's Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) plan. <br />We reviewed the MRCCA plan chapter of your 2040 Comprehensive Plan submitted to the DNR on <br />April 15, 2020. We have found that the MRCCA plan is substantially consistent with Minnesota Statutes, <br />§116G and Minnesota Rules, chapter 6106. We will send final approval of your MRCCA plan after the <br />h+letropolitan Council authorizes the City of Ramsey to put the comprehensive plan into effect. Within 60 <br />clays of receiving DNR final approval, the City of Ramsey must adopt the MRCCA plan. The City must <br />then submit a copy of the final adopted plan, with evidence of adoption, to the DNR, the Metropolitan <br />Council, and the National Park Service within ten days of the adoption. <br />Only MRCCA plans and plan amendments approved by the DNR have the force and effect of Jaw. Once in <br />effect, local governments must implement and enforce the DNR-approved plans. <br />We appreciate your efforts to develop and adopt the MRCCA plan, which provides a solid basis for <br />future ordinance amendments and MRCCA management. Please contact Dan Petrik at 651-259-5697 or <br />at daniel. etrik(state.mn.us if you have any questions about next steps. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jennifer Shill ox <br />Land Use Unit Supervisor <br />c: Raya Esmaeili, Metropolitan Council <br />Alan Robbins -Fenger, National Park Service <br />BJ Bonin, DNR Region 3 Area Hydrologist <br />Dan Petrik, DNR Land Use Knit <br />Page-20 I METROPOLITAN COUNCIL <br />
