City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan Amendment Land Use Element boundary into the urban reserve lands. Development controls have been placed on urban reserve land to minimize intense development, which will enhance ultimate orderly MUSA expansion. Minimum single family lot size is 10 acres in the Urban Reserve Area for lands not within the MUSA, with a maximum density of 4 single family units per 40 acres. The Study Area is within the Urban Reserve Area. Rural Transition Area: Lands between the Urban Reserve Area boundary and Trott Brook are identified as the Rural Transition Area. The Trott Brook line approximately conforms to the boundary of District No.3 of the Metropolitan Council Wastewater Services. The District No.3 boundary has been utilized in regional and local planning and has been incorporated into studies and reports leading to design and construction of regional and local sewer facilities. It is impractical to extend sanitary sewer service beyond this line. However, urban services are envisioned for this area when the Urban Reserve Area is at or near development capacity. Existing development within the Rural Transition Area is acknowledged, and development controls are somewhat less restrictive than those in the other two planning areas. They allow building permits on lots that were lots of record prior to January 1, 1990. Existing large parcels can be subdivided into. lots of 2 1/2 acres or larger as long as a 4 lots per 40 acres maximum is observed within the parcel. Rural Service Area: Lands beyond Trott Brook are identified as the Rural Service Area. No urban services are envisioned for this area in the foreseeable future. Development controls include minimum lot sizes of 10 acres with a 4 lots per 40 acres maximum density.
