approved, proper drainage calculations will be made and permit applications submitted. 5. The City understands that Mn /DOT owns access control near the I -35W interchange. The City does not intend to request access through any of the area controlled by Mn /DOT. The Lino Lakes Business Park is several hundred feet south of the interchange. The City submitted a copy of the EAW to Anoka County for their review. The City is working with Anoka County in reviewing the traffic impacts of this development and other developments, which may be proposed in the future. As the City of Lino Lakes continues in the process, copies of plat or other documents will be provided as needed. The Minnesota Pollution Agency (MPCA) received copies of the EAW, however, due to limited resources did not provide any specific comments in regard to the proposed project. MPCA Comment: The decision not to review the EAW does not constitute a waiver by the MPCA of any pending permits required by the MPCA. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the project proposer to secure any required permits and to comply with any requisite permits. City of Lino Lakes Response: 1. The City of Lino Lakes concurs with the MPCA comment. Prior to construction of the proposed project the developer /contractor will submit and obtain NPDES and sanitary sewer permit applications and permits. The Metropolitan Council offered the following comments: Metropolitan Council Comments: The proposal will remove 0.8 acres of wooded vegetation and increase the lawn /landscaping from 0 to 9.0 acres. Re- landscaping as much of the proposed lawn /landscaping area in native vegetation will benefit water quality and potentially replace some bird and wildlife habitat that will be lost due to the proposed development. Replacing the lost wooded area in native landscaping in the native landscaping areas is also desirable. The restoration of the stream banks and an appropriate buffer along County Ditch #10 with native vegetation will benefit water quality.
