Conclusion <br />The traffic study results are similar and marginally better than predicted in the original analysis. <br />The proposed development has appropriate access to the site and to the surrounding roadway <br />network. The traffic operational analysis indicates there is available capacity on the roadways <br />surrounding the site to accommodate site -generated traffic. <br />The roadway network has capacity for an additional 233 daily trips generated by the senior <br />housing building. <br />Staff will re-evaluate resident concerns regarding current speeding and traffic issues on Red <br />Oak Lane and Dogwood Court unrelated to the NorthPointe Garden Estates project. <br />Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) <br />The site is within the revised 2020 I-35E Corridor AUAR environmental review boundary. <br />The project is consistent with Land Use Scenario 1 and 2 for medium density residential <br />development. No further environmental review is required. <br />Wetlands <br />A wetland delineation report was completed by Kjolhaug Environmental Services on December <br />3, 2013 for the entire NorthPointe development. A WCA Notice of Decision (NOD) was <br />issued by RCWD on April 11, 2014. The NOD is only valid for 5 years so a new wetland <br />delineation report was completed by Kjolhaug on September 8, 2021 for the one (1) existing <br />wetland on the senior housing building site. A new WCA NOD approving the wetland <br />delineation was issued by RCWD on October 21, 2021. <br />One 0.085 acre wetland area was delineated on the south end the site. The wetland is a Type <br />3/2 (PEMC/A) shallow marsh and wet meadow wetland. The wetland area (0.085 acre) is <br />slightly smaller than the original approved wetland area (0.12 acre). <br />No impacts to this wetland are proposed. <br />The wetland is part of the Wetland Management Corridor and a conservation easement <br />currently exists over the wetland as part of the original NorthPointe development. The <br />easement area may be amended to allow for design of the parking lot with approval from <br />RCWD. The total area of the easement would remain the same. <br />A minimum 10 ft. wide drainage and utility easement is required and is provided above the <br />delineated wetland. <br />Shoreland District <br />The site is not within a Shoreland District. <br />13 <br />
