It is anticipated at least two scenarios will be studied in the AUAR with one scenario consistent with the RGU's adopted comprehensive plan. Kimley-Horn will prepare an order for review that outlines the study area and scenarios to be evaluated for adoption by the City Council. AUARs follow the format of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW), with modifications based on Minnesota Environmental Quality Board guidance. To prepare the Draft AUAR and Mitigation Plan, we will gather the data needed to analyze the development scenarios, including reviewing previous studies completed for the AUAR study area (to be provided by the City team) and corresponding with appropriate agencies, and will complete the analysis as needed to draft the AUAR and Mitigation Plan. We anticipate working with the City's selected consultant for the utilities and infrastructure needs sections of the AUAR and Mitigation Plan. Rev 07/2024
