<br />~ <br /> <br />Metropolitan Council <br />Building communities that work <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />January 24,2006 <br /> <br />Ms. Sylvia Frolik <br />Assistant Community Development Director <br />City of Ramsey <br />15154 Nowthen Blvd. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />RE: City of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan Amendment: The Meadows <br />Metropolitan Council District 9 (Natalie Steffen) <br />Metropolitan Council Review File No. 18160-24 <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Frolik: <br /> <br />Metropolitan Council staff reviewed the City of Ramsey's comprehensive plan amendment (CPA) received <br />on January 4, 2006. The CPA proposes to reconfigure the existing land use designations on 50 acres. <br />Although the reconfiguration retains the iand uses as Low Density Residential, Places to Shop, and Public <br />Quasi-Public, the land use for each parcel will change. The development for the 50-acre site will include <br />single family residential, commercial, public/quasi-public, a future fire station and possibly a future school. <br /> <br />Council staff finds the CPA and information complete for formal review. Under Minnesota Laws 1995, <br />Chapter 248, Article 18, the Council has 60 calendar days to review the CPA. The 60-day deadline ends on <br />March 5, 2006. <br /> <br />The Council staff will inform the City on the CPA's review status, and the Council's meeting dates. At this <br />time, the Council staff offers the following advisory comments for the City's consideration. <br /> <br />Ouestion #7 Forecasts: The City's information states the Pre-Amendment household forecasts for 2010 <br />to be 10,830. The Council's revised 2030 Regional Development Framework forecast for2010 <br />Households is 10,300, an increase of 530 housing units. The Council and the City staff will need to <br />resolve this forecast inconsistency during the CPA's review. <br /> <br />If you have any questions about this review, please contact Patrick Boylan, Principal reviewer, at <br />651-602-1438. <br /> <br /> <br />cc: Natalie Steffen, Metropolitan Council District 9 <br />Patrick Boylan, Principal Reviewer <br />Cheryl Olsen, Reviews Coordinator, Local Planning Assistance <br /> <br />www.metrocounci1.org <br /> <br />V:\REVIEWS'\CommunitieslRamseyV.etters\Ramsey 2005 CPA 7heMeadows 18160..24.doc <br />Metro Info Line 602-1888 <br /> <br />230 East Fifth Street .
