169 <br />Surface Water Uses <br />Surface water Uses can have negative impacts on riverbank erosion. The City is aware that <br />recreational boat uses have known impacts on the Coon Rapids Dam Pool. The City does not <br />currently regulate any surface water use under Chapter 86B (MR 6110.3000 - 6110.3800). <br />Open Space & Recreational Facilities <br />Existing Recreation Fa cilities <br />The Mississippi River Trail, Mississippi West Regional Park, and Riverdale Park are currently <br />located within the Corridor. <br />Future Recreation Facilities <br />The future Mississippi West Regional Park is located within the Corridor. In addition, the future <br />alignment of Central Anoka County Regional Trail connects to the Corridor. A future component of <br />the Central Anoka County Regional Trail is a grade -separated pedestrian crossing over the <br />BNSF/Northstar Commuter Rail Corridor and U.S. Highway 10, known as the Mississippi Skyway. <br />Water -Oriented Land Uses <br />Water oriented land uses are land uses on land riparian to the river that need to be there because <br />they are water -oriented, such as a marina or restaurant with views of the river. As such, a boat <br />launch classifies as a water -oriented land use. <br />Water -Oriented Use <br />Currently there is a boat launch at the site of the planned Mississippi River West Regional Park. This <br />is an important community asset for the purposes of public river access. The Mississippi West <br />Regional Park will be a primary access to encourage interaction with the Mississippi River. There is <br />also a future local park planned west of Mississippi West Regional Park. The location of this water - <br />oriented use is identified as "view 2" on the Public River Corridor View figure. <br />Transportation & Public Utilities <br />An existing Connexus Energy Electric Transmission Line current crosses the Mississippi River <br />connecting Ramsey and Dayton. Ramsey continues to plan for a future River Crossing between <br />Ramsey and Dayton which is shown in Figure 23 in the Transportation chapter. <br />Figure 42: Mississippi River Bridge/Crossing <br />City of RAMSEY <br />Comprehensive Plan 24 <br />
