January 23, 2001 Mr. Richard Thompson Comprehensive Planning Metropolitan Council 230 East Fifth Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 RE: Extension for 2020 Comprehensive Plan Review Dear Mr. Thompson: The City of Ramsey hereby grants the Metropolitan Council a six -week extension for its review of Ramsey's proposed 2020 Comprehensive Plan. This extension period, therefore, will end on Friday, March 15, 2001. It is our intent to use the extension time to work with the Metropolitan Council to make the plan consistent with regional Blueprint policies and systems plans including the Water Resources Management Plan and other applicable plans and policies prior to formal Council review. The City will work with the Council to address the findings and recommendations in the January 16, 2001 draft Comprehensive Plan findings document. The plan will also include a town center of at least 100 acres for mixed -use development and housing along the proposed Northstar Commuter Rail Corridor. Some of the issues to be addressed include: 1) adoption of an ISTS notification and tracking program; 2) identification of an urban reserve study area where the feasibility of future wastewater services will be studied to accommodate growth after 2015; 3) urban land availability and densities to accommodate growth forecasted to 2020; 4) affordable and life -cycle housing and job/housing /transportation connections; and 5) Mississippi River corridor plan comments. The City plans to submit proposed changes for inclusion in the review by February 15, 2001. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact me at 763 - 4274410.
