• • Agenda Item 5A Environmental Board Meeting Date: January 21, 2004 Topic: Record of Decision for Legacy at Wood's Edge Development, Findings of Fact and Conclusion. Background: The City of Lino Lakes and the Hartford Group applied on November 10, 2003 to seek approval for mixed -use development with residential and commercial buildings. A mandatory EAW was performed and reviewed by the Environmental Board on November 6, 2003. Comments from this review are recorded. Comments from the EAW distribution list have been received. Short Elliot Hendrickson Inc., has prepared a Record of Decision document. The Findings of Fact and Conclusions section of this document contains the distribution list comments and the City's response to the comments. Analysis: City responses to review comments address the concerns of contributing agencies. Conclusions of the report state: • All requirements for environmental review have been met. • The EAW and the permit processes related to the project have generated information that is adequate to determine whether the project has the potential for significant environmental effects. • Mitigation will be provided where impacts are expected to result from project construction and operation of the site. Mitigation measures are incorporated into the site plan, and have or will be incorporated with state and local agencies during the permit process. • Based on criteria in Minnesota Rules 4410, the project does not have the potential for significant environmental effects. Based on the findings of facts and conclusions, indications strongly deny the need for an Environmental Impact Statement study, and strongly supports a negative impact declaration for the Legacy at Wood's Edge Development project. Recommendation: Negative Declaration Attachments: 1. Record of Decision, Legacy at Woods Edge Development, Findings of Fact and Conclusions.
