Subd. 4. Approval. Plans and provisions required for compliance with this <br />Subsection must be submitted to the Community Development Direct for approval. <br /> <br />SECTION 2. SUMMARY <br /> <br />This Ordinance is enacted pursuant to MN Statutes Section 444.075, which authorizes cities to <br />impose just and reasonable charges for the use of storm water systems. In exercising this <br />authority, the City of Ramsey will be providing for the promotion of public health, safety, <br />convenience, and general welfare through the construction and maintenance of storm water <br />systems. This system has heretofore been financed and paid for through the imposition of <br />special assessments and ad valorum taxes. It is now necessary and desirable to provide an <br />alternative method of recovering some or all of the costs of improving and maintaining the storm <br />water system. It has been determined that a just and equitable assignment of future improvement <br />and operational costs of the storm water system should be based on the expected storm water <br />run~off from various parcels of land within the City during a standard one-year rainfall event. <br />Assigning costs and making charges based upon expected typical storm water mn-off cannot be <br />done with mathelnatical precision but can be accomplished within reasonable and practical <br />limits. <br /> <br />Rates and changes shall be determined by charging all storm water run-off generators <br />proportionately based upon the amount of their storm water mn-off relative to that of a typical <br />single-family residential usage within the City during a standard one-year rainfall event. No <br />charges for system availability shall be made against land that is either street right-of-way or <br />vacant and unimproved with substantially all of its surface having vegetative cover. <br /> <br />A complete copy of this Ordinance may be obtained by contacting the City of Ramsey at 427- <br />1410, or in writing at 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW, Ramsey, MN 55303. <br /> <br />SECTION 3.
