Anoka County2025 Hazard Mitigation Planz.umn.edu/AnokaHMP <br /> <br />CityofRamsey <br />The City of Ramsey has grown exponentially with a large percentage of the residential <br />development located in the vicinity of the COR area. Ramsey is averaging about 150 new <br />homes annually. A 133-unit apartment building will be complete in Fall 2025 in the COR. <br /> <br />On the east side of the city (St. Francis Blvd/Nowthen Blvd) a total of 640 multi-family units <br />have been approved; construction may begin in 2026. Commercial growth continues at a <br />steady pace. <br /> <br />We continue to gain townhomes in our community (both complexes and detached), and many <br />of these townhomes are built slab-on-grade, eliminating a basement in which to take cover for <br />high wind/tornado events <br /> <br />This housing growth has only increased our Wildfire Urban Interface with a resulting increase <br />in risk for wildfire. <br /> <br />City of Saint Francis <br />The city has had several new residential housing developments. In late fall 2025 we will also <br />have a new 134-bed assisted living facility opening. No new increase in vulnerability. <br /> <br />City of Spring Lake Park <br />We have added a 193-unit retirement apartment complex. This has increased a vulnerability <br />of potential evacuation issues of moving a large amount of seniors in case of an emergency. <br /> <br />Linwood Township <br />We have added 4 new housing developments, a new storage facility housing semi-trailers, and <br />a new electrical substation (Great River Energy). No new vulnerabilities. <br />Other Stakeholders <br />Coon Creek Watershed District: <br />Development has continued to occur within the Cook Creek Watershed District over the last 5 <br />years. Generally, new developments have not increased the risk of flooding or impact to water <br />quality to surrounding areas due to development regulations and standards in place. CCWD <br />keeps an up-to-date inventory of all sites of active erosion in GIS, and in those areas of <br />increased development/impervious surface we can anticipate development near the inventory <br />of active erosion may get worse unless mitigation occurs. <br />. <br /> <br />Section 3 31 Hazards <br />40 <br /> <br />
