The area north of the evergreen trees is zoned for light industrial use and will remain zoned for that use. 29. Impact on Infrastructure and Public Services Will new or expanded utilities, roads, other infrastructure, or public services be required to serve the project? ElYesDlo If yes, describe the new or additional infrastructure/services needed. (Any infrastructure that is a "connected action" with respect to the project must be assessed in this EAW; see "EAW Guidelines " for details.) There will be some changes in the traffic patterns and the streets and roadways. The school will be connected to the new utilities in the area. A new watermain, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer will be constructed in the area to service the school and adjacent properties. 30. Related Developments; Cumulative Impacts a. Are future stages of this development planned or likely? DYesEINo If yes, briefly describe future stages, their timing, and plans for environmental review. b. Is this project a subsequent stage of an earlier project? EJYesEiNo If yes, briefly describe the past development, its timing, and any past environmental review. c. Is other development anticipated on adjacent lands or outlots? ®YesONo If yes, briefly describe the development and its relationship to the present project. Light industrial use is anticipated on the adjacent lot north of the trees, south of I -35W and at 4th Avenue. A combination of light industrial and/or neighborhood business development is anticipated east of 4th Avenue. d. If a, b, or c were marked Yes, discuss any cumulative environmental impacts resulting from this project and the other development. The traffic issues and utility issues have been addressed in a feasibility study completed for the City of Lino Lakes in February 1996. The City is reviewing the results of that study. 31. Other Potential Environmental Impacts If the project may cause any adverse environmental impacts which were not addressed by items 1 to 28, identify and discuss them here, along with any proposed mitigation. The proposed plan will impact wooded areas on the site. The plan includes saving existing trees along the northeast property line as a buffer between the new school development and the light industrial development. The majority of the existing pine trees along the south property line adjacent to Elm Street and south of the proposed baseball fields will be preserved. Existing trees along the south property line and adjacent to the residential areas will remain. Selected trees located between athletic use areas and in the no cut/no fill area will be saved. A tree preservation plan has been submitted to the City for review. 32. SUMMARY OF ISSUES (This section need not be completed if the EAW is being done for EIS scoping; instead, address relevant issues in the draft Scoping Decision document which must accompany the EAW.) List any impacts and issues identified above that may require further investigation before the project is commenced. Discuss any alternatives or mitigative measures that have been or may be considered for these impacts and issues, including those that have been or may be ordered as permit conditions. When construction is completed, the project will include the school and the athletic fields. The fields will be used for City recreational programs when school is not in session. The impacts to the wetlands on the site will be addressed according to the Wetland Conservation Act. Utility and traffic issues were addressed in feasibility studies (see 30.d). A tree preservation plan has been submitted to the City. ISD#12.EAW- ']_
