COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 2002 • twice the number of seats now and 200% increase in possible occupation. What method was used to come up with 140%, how was that calculated? • City Planner Smyser stated there is typically a formula used to estimate how much solid waste will be generated and as the number of seats in a church increase, it does not necessarily generate a one for one increase. People sitting in a church do not generate solid waste. It is the amount of activities and things going on that do that. So there is a scale that building planners use. He did not know what that was but similar to how much waste water that will be generated there is a scale that is used for doing that. Typically, they look at that scale and square footage and things and see how much will be generated. He indicated it is always a bit of guess work based on past experience with projects. Mayor Bergeson stated he believed the appropriate question here was whether the 140% figure applied to the initial size of the church or the ultimate size? City Planner Smyser responded that everything in here has to address the ultimate size. That is a very important element of the EAW. You have to analyze its ultimate size. You cannot just say you will do this much and then we might do this much. It is clearly written in the rules that you have to include the whole thing Which is why in serveral places you will see the expansion, would include so much, and so forth. Councilmember Carlson stated okay, on page 20, under thCF:ilfre Traffic Operations Analysis, the 2010 buildout assumes completion of proposed interchange improvements at CSAH 14/35E and upgrading CSAH 14 to a four -lane divided roadway west of the interchange. The improvements were identified in the Anoka County 2003-2007 Capital Imps - ement Program. She stated this would be very good news and questioned whether there isfunding for this. City Planner Smyser responded he did not know where the funding is on that, it is something that was going on. This part of the EAW was suggested by TKDA traffic engineers as a more likely scenario than just assuming that it is not going to ha at all because the County is gearing up to have this happen. Community Development Director Groc la- stated Anoka County has received federal funding for the CSAH 14 improvements west of the 'tterchange but not for the interchange itself That is what we have been working with Centerville and Hugo on to try to get it programmed. Councilmember Carlson stated the reason she raised that question was because the last time this was discussed in a joint meeting, it was requested of the City to consider funding, and other cities, to consider funding that intersection and then be reimbursed at a later date. She did not necessarily believe that the City had the funding to do that or what the likelihood of being reimbursed would be. Councilmember Carlson referenced page 21, looking at the 2005 level of service and delay results on Sunday design peaks. She questioned what difference was there in calculation that they improved from the previous report. City Planner Smyser requested a clarification of the question, and Councilmember Carlson stated she was looking at page 21, table 5, 2005 level of service and delay results Sunday design peaks and she was comparing that to the previous original report 2005 level of service results Sunday design peaks. 17
