IV. BASE DATA AND GUIDANCE Prior to initiating the study, the City of Ramsey provided record drawings, plan drawings and GIS information for use in creating an existing infrastructure base map. Additionally, the following information and guidance was given by the City for completing the study. • Follow the guidance outlined in The COR Design Framework plan, dated February 28, 2012, including Amendment #1, dated November 27, 2012. • The City is not requesting a master -planning effort for this analysis. It is unknown where internal driveways, and related curb -cuts, will be needed. • Providing service lines for sewer and water utilities should be considered along all future roadways. While the precise locations of the service lines is unknown, costs associated with the improvements should be considered in the report. • Cost estimating should be completed for: roadways, trails/sidewalks, storm water management features, street lighting, trunk water mains and trunk sanitary sewer mains. • The City has adopted Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer and Water Plans. These plans should be reviewed and consulted for this analysis. • Regional storm water considerations should be included in the study. Significant planning has been completed for The COR. Understanding the thoughts behind previous studies can help avoid omissions when considering future improvements. The following documents have been incorporated into this study by reference: • The COR Design Framework (February 28, 2012) o The COR Amendment #1 (November 27, 2012) • The COR Parks + Public Places, Public Realm Framework + Cost Evaluation (December 2015) • The COR Land Use Plan (current version being completed with 2040 Comp Plan preparation) • City of Ramsey, Engineering Design Standards (June 30, 2017) • City of Ramsey, Capital Improvement Program 2018-2027 • Ramsey Town Center, On -Site Wetland Mitigation and Replacement Plan (October 3, 2003) • City of Ramsey, Well Head Protection Plan • Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Study (June, 2012) o Update (September, 2017) • Comprehensive Water System Study (June, 2012) o Update (September, 2017) • City of Ramsey 2030 Transportation Plan (2009) • Anoka County 2030 Transportation Plan (December, 2008) V. EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS Much of the eastern portion of The COR is developed, while larger tracts in the western portion remain vacant. The focus of this study involves public improvements required to develop the currently vacant parcels. A review of the existing infrastructure adjacent to the undeveloped parcels was completed to provide a basis of future improvements required to complete the infrastructure network in The COR.
