Without implementing noise abatement techniques, the closest the City could <br />allow development to TH 10 is about 300 to 400 feet. There is a law that prohibits <br />building if state noise standards are not met. The City needs to consider this <br />when evaluating development proposals or the issuance of building permits in <br />this area. Mn/DOT has stated that if they get calls from residents whereby the <br />City has allowed development in areas that do not meet state noise standards, <br />Mn/DOT will inform them that the City has violated this law and that they need to <br />take this matter up with the City. <br /> <br />It’s been some time since the City has held a neighborhood meeting pertaining to <br />this issue. Staff would like direction from Council as to whether (and possibly <br />when) a meeting should be held. This meeting could be held prior to or after the <br />City Council takes official action on this matter. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is looking for direction from the City Council pertaining to this matter. <br />Specifically, staff is looking for Council input on which option to pursue and <br />whether (and possibly when) the City should hold a neighborhood meeting <br />regarding this issue. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
