I P 129_32.25~14_0014 ] North Maple Holdings Source: Anoka County, City of Ramsey 1.23 2.2 Preliminary Plans/General Expectations The City believes that the Project Area has unique transportation, visibility and market characteristics especially attractive to a Developer. The locational proximity to the Ramsey Town Center Project, future commuter rail, a new Mississippi River bridge crossing and a fully upgraded TH10 are all aspects ora well positioned property suitable for redevelopment. The City is anticipating a potential mix of uses that include lm'ger single-tenant buildings as well as small and mid-sized single and multi-tenant buildings. A combination of both commercial, office and residential use is not out of the question, assuming that each are developed as higher- density in nature and fully integrated into the commercial fabric of the plan. 3. Redevelopment, Infrastructure and Land Use Planning The City is anticipating a complete redevelopment of the Project area as a result of City Council findings at their February XX, 2006 City Council meeting. The Council received and authorized the creation of a Redevelopment Project to be known as "Ramsey Crossings". The City also authorized the use of their condemnation authority via Resolution (exhibit C) to secure property in the event the selected Developer is unable to acquire all the property within the Project area. -310- 3.1 Roads, Sewer and Water The Concept Circulation Plan (Exhibit B) indicates that the on-site public roadway system must fully integrated into surrounding existing roads. The City will reqmre the Developer to complete all necessary design and construction activities, under the requirements contained within the Developers Agreement, to install all public and ptivate roads, parking areas, paths, and any other means of circulation for both pedestrians, automobiles and trucks. Currently no part of the Land is served by City sewer and water. However, sewer and water trunk lines are adjacent to the Project Area, having been extended in 2004. The Land that contains structures are servedby private wells and individual septic systems. Given the proximity o£the City sewer and water facilities to the Project Area, hookup to the municipal services will be required by the City. It is anticipated that the Developer will complete all necessary connections to trunk utility systems adjacent to the Project Area and distribute throughout the Project Area as necessary. The land to the west of the Project Area (and west of the future Mississippi River Bridge transportation corridor) is currently planned for 606 residential units and over 20 acres of commercial development. To serve these properties, municipal utilities will be extended to these properties north of the Project Area. As the Project Area is redeveloped, it will be necessary to provide utility connections to these properties. The City will accept financial responsibility for costs associated with utility expansion for property west of the Project Area that are over and above those necessary for the Project Area.
