Mr. Joseph Strauss, Chairman Metropolitan Waste Control Commission 350 Metro Square Building 7th and Robert Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 Dear Mr. Strauss: eee Raotdecy 14100 ST. FRANCIS BLVD. N. W. ANSWERED ANOKA, MINNESOTA 55303 427 -1410 ROUTE POP Up January 30, 1975 FILE INDEX NO. REPLY DUE Re: Public Hearing Champlin, Anoka, Brooklyn Park Interceptor The comments included in this letter are offered with the understanding that the purpose of this hearing is to discuss only the fundamental plan- ning assumptions that Will be used in the Facilities Planning Report for the Anoka - Champlin - Brooklyn Park Interceptor Project. The basis for these comments is a report entitled Metropolitan Waste Control Commission Facilities Planning Report for Champlin- Anoka - Brooklyn Park Interceptor, Progress Report. The first concern of the city of Ramsey is the discrepancy between the population numbers in the narrative report and the map enclosed with it and the overall disagreement of the city of Ramsey with both numbers as the basis for any sensible long range sewage works planning. It has been pointed out to your engineering consultants for this project that the current population of the city of Ramsey is approximately 7,000 and that a sufficient number of plats have been approved to accommodate a population of approximately 15,000. With the interest expressed in the. housing represented by the development that has taken place over the past five years, unless there are new controls that are now beyond the powers of any level of government in.this.state, it can be reasonably expected that these plats will be occupied within the next fifteen years or before 1990. The narrative report indicates that the year 2050 population projection is the proper design basis for Ramsey. We can agree with that date, although we disagree with the Council's year 2050 projection of 22,400. However, the map of the system shows that facilities in Ramsey would be designed on XII -29
