City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan Amendment Land Use Element 17. POLICY - Transportation - The Rural Service Area shall be served by bituminous roads. 18. POLICY - Development shall occur on an environmentally sound basis: . Measures should be taken to prevent erosion during and after construction, particularly in cases where development will be occurring in areas With erosion potential - typically slopes greater than 6 percent. . Structures should typically be set back from blufflines a minimum of 50' and greater, if required. . Building sites should remain in their natural state to the greatest extent possible. Areas that require substantial changes from their natural state shall not be permitted. Development should be designed so as to minimize disturbance of natural systems. . Natural drainage should be used to the greatest extent possible. 19. POLICY - On-site sewage treatment - In virtually all cases, sewage must be treated on the site for the foreseeable future. When single land use will be generating substantial amounts of sewage, the most effective treatment system should be installed. In clustered developments, land may be required to be set aside for a future community drainfield if the lots have minimum suitable building area, or land may not be available for a community system in the future.
