I, ) e e .. Robert Davis November 30,1993 page 20f2 ' Using this same formula,thefollowing MUSAneeds appear: lliIDd Ac~s ReQuired Per Year Year 2000 8 year 5 year 2 year 76.82 80.16 123.17 538 561 862 "" As you pointed out, there is no guarantee that the two-year average would be the most accurate. However, it should be recognized that the pattern of growth in this quadrant has been growing each year, and land is becoming scarce in other nearby communities. Hence, more recent trends are likely more reflective of the future than an eight or ten year trend. With this knowledge, the City would recommend that we use the five-year average which equates to 205 building permits per year. As the above table indicates, the City would require 561 residential acres for a land supply until the year 2000. ~ ' Based upon these figures, the City of Ramsey would need an additional 526 acres to have a seven year supply of residential property (561 acres less 35 vacant, residentially zoned acres). The City would recommend that areas 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Figure 3 of the 1993 Comprehensive Plan Amendment be considered for this expansion. These areas would equate to 476 residential acres with 92 acres of commercial property. The City would also like to see Area 11 included in the expansion, which would bring an additional 57 industrial vacant acres and 129 residential vacant acres into the MUSA. The City does not expect to develop the residential portion of the area until after a majority of the other vacant property is absorbed. We have received requests for permits to develop the identified industrial property Once again, thank you for meeting with us and we look forward to your review of the housing unit projections for the City of Ramsey. Please contact Project Manager Jim Gromberg or me at 427- 1410 for additional information. .. Sincerely, JDG/jk1 cc: Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator End
