• • Record of Decision City of Lino Lakes not have a significant impact on the transportation infrastructure and, therefore, the City would have difficulty in denying the proposal on a basis of lack of traffic infrastructure sufficient to handle future developments from other parcels, this parcel and background traffic. 3. Mn /DOT computed ADT from the site at 3,161 trips. This is significantly higher than the calculations for either the 265,000 square foot building or for the entire site with maximum outlot development. As requested, Mn /DOT was contacted and it was found that the ADT of 1,847 was for the entire site if it was light industrial and the ADT of 1314 was for the entire site if it was warehousing. The number should not have been added together. This shows that the City is clearly looking at "worst case" or "maximum possible" traffic from the Lino Lakes Business Park. 4. Mn /DOT indicated that a drainage permit might be needed for this development. This is also the City's understanding and as the development proceeds, if it is 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: 1. 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:
