RE: Lakes Business Park EAW
Legacy at Woods Edge (Village) EAW
Enclosed for your review is a copy of each of the above referenced EAW's for comment
at the July 9, 2003 Environmental Board meeting and a meeting agenda.
Staff is requesting Environmental Board review of the documents in preparation for City
Council authorization to distribute the EAW's for the required 30 day public comment
period.
In both instances the City has retained the services of Short, Elliott, Hedrickson, Inc.
(SEH) to prepare the Environmental Assessment Worksheets. SEH staff will be present
at the Environmental Board meeting to review the EAW and address your questions or
comments.
The Lakes Business Park is located west of Lake Drive, east of Blue Heron Elementary
School and south of County Ditch 10. The property in question is guided for Industrial
Use within the City's Comprehensive Plan and is currently zoned LI, Limited Industry.
The Legacy at Woods Edge (Village) project is located immediately adjacent to the Civic
Complex and includes the property designated for the YMCA. The property is guided for
mixed use development, as proposed, and is currently zoned LB, Limited Business. The
project is generally consistent with the Master Plan of the area prepared by Calthorpe and
Associates in 1997. An EAW was previously completed and a Negative Declaration was
issued in 1998. The project will move forward as a Planned Unit Development.
The Woods Edge EAW does have some incomplete items that are still being worked on.
They are as follows:
1. Acreage to be graded or excavated and the cubic yards of soil to be moved.
2. Surface Water Management. Staff is still working with the developer regarding
the overall surface water management plan.

3. Traffic. SEH is in the process of completing a traffic study for Lake Drive as part
of the project.
Additionally, a botanical survey, as recommended by the Mn/DNR, was completed, but
the final report has not been received at this time. The preliminary findings indicate that
there are no rare species located on the site.
If you have any questions prior to the meeting, please call me at (651) 982 - 2427.
