City response: The project proposer has submitted a tree replacement plan. The City `-- finds the submitted plan satisfactory given that the site has for years been planned for intense retail development.. Minnesota Department of Transportation • MnDOT comments that the runoff rate must remain the same, that the developer must submit hydraulic computations for the 10- and 100 -year rainfall events verifying that all existing drainage patterns and systems affecting MnDOT right of way will be perpetuated. A MnDOT drainage permit may be required. City response: The project proposer has submitted these hydraulic calculations to meet City submittal requirements. The project proposer will be responsible for submitting them directly to MnDOT. • MnDOT also comments that the Village ingress is located too close to the I35W northbound entrance ramp. City response: The Village is the area located on the south side of the freeway. The Village is not part of the project. The traffic study referred to in the EAW and attached as an exhibit analyzes traffic along Lake Drive including the Village and up to Main St. Metropolitan Council • Met Council states that a sanitary sewer extension permit is required for this project. City response: It is the City's understanding that the sewer extension permit is issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and that the Met Council must sign off on the permit before MPCA issues it. At any rate, this clarification/addition is noted and added to the record. • Met Council states that the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park is located directly across I35W and should be noted on page 8 as an adjacent land use. City response: Item 9 (page 8) of the EAW addresses land uses adjacent to the project site. The item includes one sentence describing the Village, "where the City is working to create a city center of mixed uses, including City Hall and other public uses as well as private housing and commercial uses." Since this description of the Village is included in the item, it would be appropriate to list the regional park reserve as well since the park reserve abuts the Village on the south of the freeway. It is not the City's intention to ignore or minimize the existence of the park reserve, a very important resource that the City values highly. The park reserve is described in items 11 and 25.
