Water: The projected water demands for the revised scenarios have remained within the parameters discussed in the original AUAR. These scenarios are anticipated to increase the annual water use above the current authorized appropriated volume for the City, similarly as anticipated in the original AUAR. The mitigation measures for water appropriation and use have been reviewed and minor revisions were made. Appendix C contains the water appropriation analysis. Wastewater: Wastewater within the study area would be conveyed with existing and future sanitary sewer and then directed to two Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) interceptors. Wastewater is then conveyed through the regional collection system to the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant. The revised analysis projects less wastewater flow than anticipated in the original AUAR. The mitigation measures have been revised and no changes were needed with this Update. Appendix D contains the wastewater management analysis. Traffic: The traffic analysis was updated based on the revised scenarios. This incorporated the current existing conditions and projected 2040 conditions. The analysis shows that future traffic generated with the revised development scenarios will be less than those assumed in the original AUAR. No changes to the mitigation measures are needed. Appendix E contains the traffic analysis. Approved Development within the Study Area Since the 2015 AUAR Update, some anticipated development did not occur, and some projects were constructed within the study area. Figure 5 shows the areas that have developed in the study area. Since the 2015 Update, the following has occurred in the study area: • Watermark: Phase 1 for Watermark (formerly planned as the Hardwood Creek Site) is under development. The full plan includes a total of 864 residential units (692 single family and 172 townhomes). • Distribution Alternatives: A 402,000 SF distribution facility was completed in 2016. • 21st Avenue: A'/2 mile extension of 21St Avenue was completed in 2016. • Eastside Villas: A 32 lot single-family subdivision is under construction. • Main Street Shoppes: A 9,000 SF multi -tenant commercial building was completed. • Moon Marsh and Main Street Villages that were noted in previous updates were not constructed and their permits expired. AUAR Mitigation Plan The mitigation plan that has been developed as part of the AUAR process has been revised with his Update. It is included in Appendix H. 7. Cover types: Estimate the acreage of the site with each of the following cover types before and after development: The original AUAR sites the Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS). This data is applicable today. Some areas as shown in Figure 5 have developed. The land cover continues to be consistent with the original AUAR with planted or cultivated areas, urban areas, wooded and shrub areas, and wetlands. 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update April 15, 2020 Page 3
