• construction, and only typical household waste will be produced by the proposed residential project. • Burning: Though the burning of trees and shrubs technically is not a stationary source air emission, it is worth discussing. It is common for developers to burn cleared vegetation. A burning permit from the Centennial Fire District is necessary. Burning on the island is not the optimal way to dispose of the vegetation because of public safety concerns. The area is thickly vegetated, homes are nearby, and there is poor access to the island for fire fighting equipment. The City could impose a prohibition on burning and require that vegetation be chipped and the chips disposed of off site. Parkland: The project is not in City park property. The area dedicated as park on the Quail Ridge plat is immediately east of the Quail Ridge lots, and is included within the property boundary of land platted as Quail Ridge. This area is primarily wetland. Land to the west of the Quail Ridge lots also was dedicated as park: much of this area is wetland as well. The City's comprehensive park plan of 1992 does include the island property as a future park, with a boardwalk trail. However, the City does not own the land and has no funding plan to purchase it. Private Utilities, Road: Typically, a reference to "utilities" in the context of land development refers to sanitary sewer and water. As discussed in the EAW, these would be owned and maintained by a homeowners' association. Private utilities such as electricity, cable television, and natural gas would need to be designed to serve the site. These likely would cross the bridge to the island, though not necessarily. Private utilities locations typically are not reviewed as part of development applications. They are designed by the utility companies and developer and reviewed by the City prior to construction. The private water facilities, sanitary sewer facilities, road and bridge would be maintained by the homeowners' association, not by the City. Noise, Pile Driving: This issue is discussed above in the "Findings" section. If the project proceeds, the City will require a pre - construction survey and monitoring program based on specifications used by MnDOT. The specifics of the survey and monitoring requirements would be tailored to the project. DRAFT July 1, 2004 Pheasant Hills Preserve 12t Addn. EAW Record of Decision page 13
