227 Area (MRCCA). These are environmentally sensitive areas, and the public benefits from limiting the number of potential individual source points of pollution that could pose a threat to water quality. Urban Residential For areas in the future urban service area but future municipal utilities are not expected within the current planning period (20 years), Owners may cluster lots and serve through a private, community septic system. The Owners must enter into a Future Connection Agreement providing for future connections when municipal services are available. Administrative Procedures Ramsey will require that a legal entity be established prior to the construction of any private, community septic systems. Although Ramsey will have no enforcement responsibilities of the entity, Ramsey will require a review of the articles of incorporation by the City Attorney. The participating properties shall enter into a Maintenance Agreement with the City and shall agree to allow the City to assess the costs of future repair in the event of failure to repair a non-compliant system. Compliance with Applicable Regulations Owners and Installers of private, community septic systems shall design and construct consistent with Minnesota Rules, Anoka County Ordinances, and Ramsey City Code. Ramsey Administration Ramsey shall administer applicable Minnesota Rules consistent with other private septic systems. Ramsey shall require the issuance of a permit prior to installation and shall ensure ongoing compliance. System Expansion Section 4 of the 2012 report describes the trunk infrastructure improvements needed to serve each defined subdistrict within the MUSA boundary. The sanitary sewer trunk system extension and improvement required to service the 2040 MUSA are shown on Figure 4 in Appendix A. The extensions are required generally in three areas which are individually discussed below. The proposed facilities are sized to accommodate the ultimate sewer flow from the entire service area for each extension including the areas outside of the 2040 MUSA boundary. This provides flexibility for allowing future MUSA expansions. The current projected growth in each of the below regions is anticipated to occur uniformly through 2040. With developments occurring in each region listed below equally. Figure 5 in Appendix A shows anticipated development areas within the 2040 MUSA. Subdistrict M3 This subdistrict is located in the southwest corner of the City south of Highway 10. The majority of the area will be serviced by lift station MLS-2 which will discharge to the gravity sewer that is extended to the south side of Highway 10. The total estimated cost of the trunk sewer improvements to service the M3 subdistrict is $1,851,000. This cost was calculated in the 2016 Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Study update and
