~ -- , -) * Ramsey's future land use and staging plan provide an amount of urban growth that will have reached the urban growth boundary by the year 2015. The City will therefor not have a growth stage beyond 2015. 16. On PalZe 52 following the paragraph under subheading Permanent Rural Area Develooment add the following paragraph: "Just as urban areas are staged to control the rate of growth, efforts to manage rural growth should also be put in place. While staging by geographic boundary is necessary in urban areas because of the timely extension of utilities, in the rural area, development may happen in any area. The City should consider limiting the number of rural residential building permits to no more than 20 permits per year. This will extend the availability of new rural housing units at least to the year 2020, and prevent an influx of development pressures in the rural areas. " 17. On Pa\?e 54 under the Historic Preservation element amend policy 1 to read as follows: " Review local building permit applications, site plan proposals and PUDs for historic significance through consultation and communications with the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) and the Anoka County Historical Society and other historic preservation resources and agencies." 18.
