The EAW proposes single family homes and <br />townhomes on the northwest side of the site, which is guided <br />Medium Density Residential and multifamily development on <br />the southeast side and northeast sides of the site, which are <br />guided High Density Residential. Any changes to land use, <br />density, or intensity that deviates from the adopted <br />comprehensive plan will require a comprehensive plan <br />amendment process independent of the environmental review <br />and will be subject to additional Council review. <br /> <br />Comment noted. <br />9 Metropolitan <br />Council <br />The project site is located within the North and East Metro <br />Groundwater Management area, so extra care should be taken <br />to reduce overuse of groundwater resources throughout <br />development of this project. In addition to the proposed <br />stormwater pond, developers might consider installing other <br />sustainable features to help groundwater infiltrate back into the <br />earth on the site. If the city determines that additional source <br />waters are needed as a part of this development, they need to <br />work with the MN DNR to update their local water supply plan <br />and appropriation permit. <br /> <br />Comment noted. Per the EAW document, the Limerick Village <br />development has been planned to include a stormwater reuse <br />system allowing for reuse of stormwater for irrigation across the <br />development. This system will be required to conform with Lake <br />Elmo specifications and standards for such systems. The <br />development will also be required to comply with the City's topsoil <br />standards to improve drought resistance for landscaping. <br />10 Metropolitan <br />Council <br />The discussion of anticipated GHG emission and associated <br />mitigation measures is adequate. The project proposer should <br />consider additional mitigation measures such as solar ready <br />design for multi-family units. Additionally, the project proposer <br />Comment noted. <br />
