Legacy at Wood's Edge Record of Decision City of Lino Lakes January 2004 Ultimately, the capacity on Lake Drive past the Town Center Parkway intersection will need to be expanded. This will require additional lanes on Lake Drive and the reconstruction of the I -35W bridge. Tum lanes will be necessary at the interchange ramps to accommodate future traffic as well as full build -out traffic from the Legacy at Wood's Edge Development. In the interim, between the reconstruction of the bridge over I -35W and the development of portions or all of the proposed development, an intermediate intersection needs to be developed that has been described above. The traffic volumes for the year 2020 along with full build -out of the proposed development, have been used in a traffic simulation model. Results of the traffic simulation as it relates to the regional transportation system have been shared and discussed with Mn/DOT and the Anoka County Highway Department. This information will also be shared with the Met Council. Construction Impacts Temporary construction related impacts such as dust, odors, and noise have been considered. There are a relatively small number of residences located immediately south of the site that could experience temporary impacts resulting from construction activities. Dust is likely to be generated by equipment during times of construction. Dust generation will be minimized by enforcing best management practices, which may include: 1) minimizing the periods and extent of areas being exposed or graded; 2) watering construction areas and haul roads during periods of high winds or high levels of construction activity; 3) minimizing the use of vehicles on unpaved surfaces; and 4) covering and/or spraying material piles and truck Toads. Temporary odors may be generated by exhaust from engines engaged in construction activities. Any equipment will be properly equipped to control odor emissions. Noise will be generated during the construction of the public improvements (e.g. roads, sewer, water) and residential and commercial /office buildings in the development. City ordinance regulates the daytime hours of construction to minimize noise impacts to sensitive receptors on adjacent properties. Noise mitigation is not proposed at this time because construction noise will be temporary and all City and County roads in the area are exempt from state noise standards. Noise levels along the local roadways are not anticipated to exceed State noise standards, nor are they anticipated to be greater than noise levels that are commonly experienced within a residential and commercial area. Furthermore, adequate building setbacks and acoustical site planning techniques have been incorporated into the site plan to shield more sensitive land uses from noise impacts. DRAFT
