The Anoka County High'.~ay Department is currently seeking a ~ederal highway aid designation for the 4 million dollar bridge and is also preparing an environmental impact statement for the facility. 'Since construction of this bridge appears to be contingent on the receipt of both a changed federal aid designation and subsequent federal funding, it would ~ecm Ramsey's assumptions on the timing of the facility may be overly optimistic and ~hould be reevaluated. F. Proposed 2~ acre density standard in the transitio~ area Previous Metropolitan Council reviews of the Ramsay Urban Planning District report indicated the proposed one unit per 2~ acre density proposed for the transition area was inconsistent with the Development Frar.;ework. During the review o[ Ramsey's comprehensive plan by the l~etropoliton Council under the Land Plazning ACt, the proposed 2~ acre density standards will be eval:.aLcd both with ~cspecL to its apparent consistency ~.;th the Develop~;ent Framework and i ts car. fermi ty wi Lh metropol i tan systel~ plans. Under the D~velopment Framework the 2~ acre density is considered an urba,~. level of development and inappropriate for an.area which would not be race,v- lng urban services until after 1990. For this density to be considered acceptable from a Development Framework perspective, ~he Ramsay plan must dbcument that local, county and school district facilities and services would be adequate to serve the area with no increase over current service levels. it would appear that continued development at the 2~ acre denslt]es in the transition area is not consistent with the city's apparent objective of encour- agine future dev~'loPment to ,c_ate in the urban planning district ~,here coul~ receive sewer service and be more efficiently provided wi;h other urban services. It also seems inconsistent [o ~ermit further deve~op~ent w~th ~eptlc tanks, with the possibility of prematdre demands for loca~ sewer service, in an area which is not scheduled for local sewer service for some time beyond 1990. Re.views for.conformity with metropolitan system plans and for impacts o~ .;'.etro- polit~n systems will also look at the 2~ acre density stand;rd. These reviews will primarily assess the cumulative affect of (1) the density standard, (2) the city's proposed on-site'sewage disposal man~gc~ent syste;~, and (3) how th~ city will restrict developmen~ from occurr ng in ~reas :¢hich are not physically suited for on-site disposal' systen~s on ti~e potential need for pre- mature metropolitan sewer service in the transition area.
