The analysis conducted to address the preceding questions did not reveal any substantial impacts that would require further investigation prior to proceeding with development of the site. The permits and approvals listed in the response to Question #8 will be obtained at the appropriate times during the project development process. The relevant issues related to the development are: wetlands, erosion/sedimentation, water quality /storm water management, traffic, and land use compatibility. Wetlands The proposed development will be designed and constructed in a fashion as to avoid impacting any wetlands on the site. Erosion/Sedimentation Construction of the project will disturb more than 1 acre of land and therefore must obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. A storm water runoff and erosion control plan will be prepared. The collection and treatment of runoff through BMP's such as grass swales, temporary sediment basins, storm water detention ponds, silt fencing, and vegetative filter/buffer strips will be utilized to avoid and minimize potential erosion impacts that may result during construction activities. Water Quality /Storm water Management A surface water management plan for the development is being proposed that will retain storm water runoff on -site for the purpose of improving water quality and- incorporate infiltration to reduce surface discharge and promote recharge of the groundwater. Based on the water quality analysis, the proposed development has maintained adequate area for the retention (ponds) and infiltration (natural and underground chambers) of surface water runoff. Before construction can proceed, both the City of Lino Lakes and Rice Creek Watershed District must issue permits to satisfy surface water runoff regulations. Traffic Traffic forecasts indicate that improvements to Town Center Parkway and Lake Drive (CSAH 23) are necessary to accommodate the full build out of the proposed development. These improvements include additional turn lanes, installation of traffic signals, and the realignment of the southbound on ramp to I -35W. The traffic volumes for the year 2020 along with full build -out of Legacy at Woods Edge Development, including traffic from the Lino Lakes Business Park will be part of a simulation program that is being developed. Results of the traffic simulation will be shared and discussed with Mn/DOT and the Anoka County Highway Department. Land Use Compatibility The proposed development is compatible with surrounding land uses and is consistent with the City of Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan and Master Plan for this site.
