MEETING DATE: October 24, 2005 <br />TOPIC: Resolution 05 -159 <br />Adopting the Final AUAR <br />ACTION: 3/5 <br />BACKGROUND <br />We have come to the end of the entire process for the I -35E Corridor Alternative Urban <br />Areawide Review. The City Council authorized distributing the Final Alternative Urban <br />Areawide Review (AUAR) with Resolution 05 -144. The document was distributed to <br />persons on the EQB's distribution list as well as to any persons who commented on the <br />Draft AUAR. State agencies and the Metropolitan Council had ten days to file an <br />objection to the Final AUAR. No objections were filed. <br />Under MN Rules, "unless no objection is filed...the RGU shall adopt the revised <br />environmental analysis document and the plan for mitigation at its first regularly <br />scheduled meeting held 15 or more days after the distribution of the revised document." <br />October 24 is that meeting. Resolution 05 -159 adopts the Final AUAR. <br />The Environmental Board discussed the Final AUAR at a special meeting on October 12. <br />The Board unanimously approved the following statement: <br />The Environmental Board strongly supports the adoption of the final AUAR by the <br />City of Lino Lakes. The mitigation plan within the document serves as an invaluable <br />tool to identify & minimize environmental impact of developments. Adoption of the <br />AUAR should not be interpreted or misconstrued as endorsing an aggressive <br />development scenario. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Approve Resolution 05 -159, adopting the Final AUAR. <br />2. Return to staff with direction. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Option 1 <br />
