I. INTRODUCTION The City of Ramsey has identified the need to prepare for further development of The COR. While much of The COR has been developed, additional infill is anticipated in the near future. The purpose of this analysis is to determine the necessary public infrastructure and associated costs required to allow the remaining, undeveloped portions of The COR to develop. At the time this study was being prepared, a development was under review at the City for a parcel located adjacent to Ramsey Parkway and Center Street, park improvements were being considered for the Center Street and The Waterfront areas, and studies are being completed for the regional stormwater retention pond (The Waterfront). Our analysis consists of three separate components that, when combined, provide an overview of the study area needs: • Preliminary Design Layouts — Provide graphical depictions of the public roadways and utilities, • Preliminary Project Cost Estimates — Provides a baseline for fiscal planning of the improvements, and • Final Report — Describes required infrastructure improvements, layouts and costs. For reference, the following figures and exhibits are contained in the appendix of this report: • Appendix A includes a previously prepared Land Use Plan for The COR, along with roadway related graphics from The COR Design Framework plan and City's Comprehensive Plan. • Appendix B includes figures referenced throughout this study, and • Appendix C includes the traffic counts collected in The COR in 2017. Figure 1 in Appendix B depicts the general location of the study area associated with this analysis. II, PRELIMINARY DESIGN LAYOUTS, FIGURES AND EXHIBITS To complete the analysis, existing conditions and proposed improvements were conceptually designed to allow for estimating construction costs. The figures contained in Appendix B form the basis for much of the analysis. The following list summarizes the figures contained in Appendix B: • Figures 1-5: Study Area Layouts • Figures 6-7: National Wetland Inventory & Mitigation Plan • Figures 8-10: Public Utilities • Figures 11-13: Site Grading & Drainage • Figures 14-26: Roadway Geometrics • Figures 27-29: Typical Sections III. ON -GOING AND RELATED STUDIES AND IMPROVEMENTS In addition to this analysis, there are several other studies being completed by the City at this time. Each of the studies has the potential to impact the developments within The COR area. Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc. The COR Analysisi R16.114924 INTRODUCTION Page 2
