r It is anticipated that we will either use a well for irrigation on this site or <br /> city water if and when it becomes available from the north. Back-flow prevention <br /> will be used at this site. <br /> E. Geology and Soils: <br /> There are no interesting,unique or fragile geologic formations on this site. <br /> The predominant soils on this site are shown as Hayden loam(non-hydric soils) on <br /> the SCS map for Anoka County. The areas near the wetlands are labeled as Lw <br /> (loamy wetland) on the SCS map. Much of the site is cultivated and therefore the <br /> soil profiles are disturbed. <br /> These soils support the type of facility the city wishes to build on this site. <br /> The site for the most part on the non-hydric soils is well drained,with a higher <br /> buffering and moisture holding capacities. <br /> F. Mineral Resources: <br /> There are no mineral deposits or peat deposits on this site. <br /> G. Air Quality and Noise: <br /> There will be the normal amount of noise associated with this athletic <br /> complex in relation to organized sport. Since the area is out of the urban service <br /> area there is no high density housing in this area. The building of the athletic <br /> complex will however result in much reduced amounts of noise in neighborhood <br /> r� park areas that are now being programmed due to the lack of facilities. <br /> Furthermore,the hours of noise are controlled by city ordinance. There is no <br /> anticipated air pollution from this facility. <br /> H. Historical and Archaeological Significance: <br /> There are no known historic or archaeological features on this site. We are <br /> awaiting further word from the Archaeological Society. The site is not to our <br /> knowledge registered or eligible for nomination to the National Register of <br /> Historic Places. <br /> L Transportation: <br /> Road construction to the north on 12a'Ave and Holly Drive is now being <br /> done to facilitate the development occurring in this area. It is at this time <br /> questionable whether the remaining road section to County Road J will be needed. <br /> In a traffic study done by the engineering firm of Short Elliot and <br /> Hendrickson, it was shown that traffic to and from the athletic complex is expected <br /> to add approximately 330 trips a day on Holly Drive. South of the athletic <br /> complex driveway,the project is expected to add nearly 1,000 trips a day. The <br /> athletic complex would add traffic directly to County Road J. Trips were <br /> estimated on heavy summer use of the athletic complex. The trips would be <br /> significantly less during the winter months. Since a good portion of the trips to the <br /> facility are via a county road the impacts to residential areas is minimal Again the <br /> construction of this facility would also alleviate traffic in our neighborhood parks <br />
