AGENDA ITEM 7A <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala <br />C. C. MEETING DATE: November 10, 2003 <br />TOPIC: Resolution 03-204 Approving Distribution of the <br />Environmental Assessment Worksheet for the Legacy <br />at Woods Edge (Village) Project <br />ACTION REQUIRED: 3/5 vote <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Hartford Group, in conjunction with the City of Lino Lakes, is proposing to develop <br />the City's "Village" Master Plan. The "Legacy at Woods Edge" project is a mixed use <br />development, located in the southeast quadrant of I -35W and Lake Drive (County State <br />Aid. Highway 23). The project includes up to approximately 350,000 square feet of <br />retail, service and office uses and 450 multi -family residential units. Also incorporated <br />into the site development is the YMCA. The development, as proposed, does require <br />the preparation of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). <br />Rules written by the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board describe the requirements <br />for the environmental review. These rules were written to implement MN Statute 1160, <br />the Minnesota Environmental Policy Act. Environmental review starts with an <br />environmental assessment worksheet (EAW). An EAW is defined as a brief document <br />which is designed to set out the basic facts necessary to determine whether an <br />environmental impact statement (EIS) is necessary. The EAW form was created by the <br />Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB). It is a list of questions that must be <br />completed based on the project specifics. <br />Approving the EAW for distribution does not mean that the City is approving the project <br />On the contrary, once the EAW process has been initiated, the project cannot be started <br />and no governmental entity can make a final decision on the project until the <br />environmental review process is completed. <br />After the public comment period, the City decides if it has enough information to <br />determine if the project will cause significant environmental effects. If it will not cause <br />such effects, the City makes a "negative declaration" meaning that an Environmental <br />Impact Statement (EIS) is not necessary. If the review process reveals, in the <br />judgement of the City, that the project will cause significant environmental effects, the <br />City makes a "positive declaration" meaning an EIS is necessary. <br />
