Trott Brook Crossing is proposed on approximately 200.5 acres of land in the northern part of the City of Ramsey, Anoka County,Minnesota(Figure 1). The project area is primarily cropland and wetlands,with a lesser amount of woodland and grassland. The site is located in the West 1/2 of Section 10 and part of the E 1/2 of Section 9,Township 32 North, Range 25 West(Figure 2). The project will include as many as 275 single-family homes, installation of municipal sewer and water, mass grading, and stormwater management practices. The proposed Site Plan is included in Appendix A. The project will convert about 94 acres of cropland and 25 acres of woodland to streets,homes, lawns, landscaping, and stormwater features. The balance of the site will include about 7 acres of tree avoidance, 56 acres of wetlands and about 10 acre of grassland preservation. The project will include dedication of a 21.9-acre public park. The site includes sandy soils, 40 feet of topographic relief, and with flat to moderate slopes (Figure 3). Slopes within the developed area will be graded and recontoured during project construction. The development area will be mass graded to install utilities, streets,residential building pads, and stormwater basins. Development of the project area will involve installation of public and private infrastructure, including streets,municipal water and sanitary sewer, stormwater systems, electrical lines, and telephone lines. The project area will be served by City of Ramsey fire and police services and by the Anoka-Hennepin School District. 2
