Advisory Comments <br />The following Advisory Comments are part of the Council action authorizing the City of Ramsey to <br />implement its 2040 Comprehensive Plan (Plan). <br />Community Development Committee <br />1. As stated in the Local Planning Handbook, the City must take the following steps: <br />a. Adopt the Plan in final form after considering the Council's review recommendations as <br />contained in the body of this report. <br />b. Submit one hard copy and one electronic copy of the Plan to the Council. The electronic <br />copy must be submitted as one unified file. <br />c. Submit to the Council a copy of the City Council resolution evidencing final adoption of <br />the Plan. <br />2. The Local Planning Handbook also states that local governments must formally adopt their <br />comprehensive plans within nine months after the Council's final action. If the Council has <br />recommended changes to the Plan, local governments should incorporate those recommended <br />changes into the Plan or respond to the Council before "final adoption" of the comprehensive <br />plan by the governing body of the local governmental unit. (Minn. Stat. § 473.858, subd. 3) <br />3. Local governments must adopt official controls as identified in their 2040 comprehensive plans <br />and must submit copies of the official controls to the Council within 30 days after the official <br />controls are adopted. (Minn. Stat. § 473.865, subd. 1) <br />4. Local governmental units cannot adopt any official controls or fiscal devices that conflict with <br />their comprehensive plans or which permit activities in conflict with the Council's metropolitan <br />system plans (Minn. Stat. §§ 473.864, subd. 2; 473.865, subd. 2). If official controls conflict with <br />comprehensive plans, the official controls must be amended within 9 months following <br />amendments to comprehensive plans (Minn. Stat. § 473.865, subd. 3). <br />Environment Committee <br />1. The Council -approved Comprehensive Sewer Plan becomes effective only after the Plan <br />receives final approval from the local governmental unit's governing body. After the Plan <br />receives final approval from the City and the Comprehensive Sewer Plan becomes effective, <br />the City may implement its Plan to alter, expand, or improve its sewage disposal system <br />consistent with the Council -approved Comprehensive Sewer Plan. <br />2. A copy of the City Council resolution adopting its 2040 comprehensive plan, including its <br />Comprehensive Sewer Plan, must be submitted to the Council. <br />Page -2 I METROPOLITAN COUNCIL <br />
