The EAW evaluates a proposal to develop 190 acres'for residential and commercial uses. <br /> <br />('.ou nci t staff is responsible for reviewing the EAW to determine whether it adequately and accurately <br />addresses regional concerns. The Council staff finds that the EAW is complete, and an environmental <br />impact statement (EiS) is not necessary for regional purposes. The Council will take no formal action on <br />the EA W. However, the Council staff offers the following comments. <br /> <br />Item 6: Project Description <br /> <br />The EAW, in Item 6b, discusses the proposed layout of home, businesses, streets and utilities and shown <br />in F/gum 2. However, Figure 2 does not include the entire site as shown in the other Figures. The maps <br />should reflect the same site boundary. <br /> <br />[tent 8: Perntits and Approvals Required <br /> <br />The EAW indicates that a metropolitan urban service area (MUSA) extension and a comprehensive plan <br />amendment are needed for the proposed development. However, Ramsey's 2001 Comprehensive Plan <br />identifies land use designations that support the proposed development, and the site is located within the <br />City's 2{)10 metropolitan urban service area (MUSA) staging boundary. Therefore, a comprehensive plan <br />amendment is not necessary. <br /> <br />item 27: Compatibility with Plans and Land Use Regulations <br /> <br />As indicated in item 8, the proposed project is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and futm:e <br />land use designations. The City's zoning map should be consistent with the comprehensive plan. <br /> <br /> you have any questions or need further information, please contact Tod Dupre, principal reviewer, at <br />651-602-1621. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Phyllis Hanson, Manager <br />Planning and Technical Assistance <br /> <br />Natalie Haas Steffen, Metropolitan Council District 9 <br />Cheryl Olsen, Reviews Coordinator <br /> <br />~ ' ! }r.,, ;,';;ic;lt.v ~md ':'t'/zm,~5':'!..(i/u./~DL/'ON-A'IEiVK i[....'al 5'e:tti,:tbx'ifcmp,'~rciJ? hdertwt F'ilc.viOLK54"..R,tm.x't3, 20!15 ~:4 t,]..,. 19493-! <br /> <br />141 <br /> <br /> <br />
