As the proposed development relates to traffic and access, the internal roadway, vehicle and pedestrian access and ways of traverse have been designed for the proposed demand. The offsite transportation improvements are being re-analyzed to account for the updated unit number and uses, which will present recommendations for offsite improvements. The preliminary development plans have been reviewed with engineering and fire departments and their respective initial comments have been incorporated. The sanitary sewer adjacent to the site, located in the alley to the north, was determined in the previous submittals to be adequate to serve the development and that remains the case for this reduced density. Similarly, the domestic water supply is available to the south and west of the property to serve the development. As was the case in the previous proposals, following the preliminary approval of the proposed plan, the City will verify further improvements needed offsite to ensure adequate fire flows as required by proposed building types. Stormwater management has been an obstacle on the Property for many years. Nonetheless, the Project meets the City and MWMO requirements for rate control, water quality and freeboard. The proposed management system consists primarily of a collection system routing runoff to traditional surface ponds, and supplemental filtration, to treat and store the stormwater prior to discharging it at a rate no more than the current conditions discharge. You can find additional detailed engineering information in the submittal package attached on all of these items. 4) Protection of the environment. All development must meet all Federal, State, watershed district, and local requirements for environmental protection. The city will ensure all pollution and contamination is properly remediated. The Project is significantly scaled back from the 823-unit project. Notably, the environmental assessment worksheet for that initial project concluded it was not likely to result in significant environmental impact. The Village agrees that the Project must comply with all Federal, State, watershed district, and local requirements for environmental protection regulations. We believe it does meet—and, in many instances, exceeds—those thresholds. As has been noted elsewhere, environmental testing reveals that hazardous substances exist below ground on the Property. Specifically,
