Alison Harwood, WSB & Associates, Inc. Date: February 14, 2017 Re: The Village, LLC Redevelopment Environmental Assessment Worksheet WSB Project No. 2170-380 An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is a statutorily required document for large projects that provides analysis about a project’s impacts to specific environmental, water resource, transportation, and other impacts. The analysis in an EAW is used to determine if an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required for a proposed project. An EIS is required for a project with “potential for significant environmental effects”. An EIS provides more information only about the potentially significant environmental impacts for the categories that the EAW identified as potentially being significantly impacted by the project. Any categories not covered in an EAW would also not be covered in an EIS. An EAW or EIS is not a means to approve or disapprove a project. These documents provide information to inform an approval or denial decision at a later date. Once an EAW or EIS is completed, a project can proceed to the land use review process and proceed with obtaining a variety of other permits needed. The information contained in an EAW or EIS can be used by permitting agencies to determine the standards and restrictions that apply to the project. Each permitting agency has its own authority to issue or deny permits for the project. Recent large residential projects that have required an EAW include: • 600 Washington Avenue SE, Minneapolis o 0.68 acre site o 27 story multi-use building with 450 residential units • Ritz Block Redevelopment, Minneapolis o 2.5 acre site o 728 residential unit building • Kraus-Anderson Block Redevelopment, Minneapolis o 2.5 acre site o Mixed use o 306 residential unit building, hotel, office space and event center • Superior Plating Site Redevelopment, Minneapolis o 5.5 acre site o Mixed use o 750 residential units with high rise and low rise buildings • L & H Station Redevelopment, Minneapolis o Mixed use o 565 residential unit building 15 February 14, 2017 Page 2 S:\1Council Meetings\2017\02142017\Memo - EIS.docx • Currie Park Lofts Redevelopment, Minneapolis o 2.41 acre site o Two six story buildings with 369 residential units • Dock Street Redevelopment, Minneapolis o 3.25 acre site o 400 residential unit building • Bennett Lumber Site Redevelopment, Minneapolis o Two residential buildings with 710 units In none of these cases did the city determine the need for an EIS. An EIS is a more extensive environmental review process. For a project at this scale, an EIS would not provide information which would not already be requested during the permitting, county review or preliminary plat phase of the project. The mandatory EIS categories for residential development are based on the proposed project’s location. Developments in an unincorporated area outside of the metro have different requirements than a project in the metro. The Village, LLC project is located in the City of Saint Anthony Village, which is a city in the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area. A residential development at the location of the Village, LLC project that exceeds 1,500 attached units would require an EIS. Below are examples of projects in Minnesota that have necessitated an EIS: • NorthMet Mining Project and Land Exchange (PolyMet mine) • Great Northern Transmission Line Project • Zavoral Mine and Reclamation Project • US Bank Stadium • TCF Stadium • Target Field • Metro Blue Light Rail Line Extension • Southwest Green Line Light Rail Extension Enclosed, please find the following items for your review relating to this EAW: • The Record of Decision and Findings of Fact on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). • A summary of the review agencies comments received on the EAW and the responses to those comments. This section responds to each review agency issue. Summary of Major Comments The required public comment period for the proposed The Village, LLC Redevelopment Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) ended January 4, 2017. Comments were received from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Metropolitan Council, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Minnesota Historical Society (SHPO), and Hennepin County. These comments were general in nature. The Metropolitan Council comments have either been addressed or will be addressed during the City of Saint Anthony Village’s Updated to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The Hennepin County comments have either been addressed or will be addressed during the revised traffic study or the preliminary plat review. The SHPO, MPCA, and USACE did not raise significant issues. City Council Decision Action The decision before the City Council regarding the EAW is to decide whether or not the project has the potential for significant environmental impacts that cannot be addressed through the permitting processes. If the Council determines that the project does not have the potential for these significant environmental impacts, the Council should issue a Negative Declaration of Need for an EIS. If the Council determines that the project does have the potential for significant environmental impact that cannot be addressed through the permitting and approval process, the Council should require an EIS. 16 February 14, 2017 Page 3 S:\1Council Meetings\2017\02142017\Memo - EIS.docx Based on the review completed by WSB & Associates, it is our recommendation that an EIS is not needed for this project.

ADMINISTRATIVE BACKGROUND Pursuant to Minnesota Rule 4410.4500, the City of Saint Anthony Village has prepared an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the proposed The Village, LLC Redevelopment. This Record of Decision addresses State of Minnesota environmental review requirements as established in Minnesota Rule 4410.1700. Continental Property Group is the project proposer for this project. The City of Saint Anthony Village is the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU). The EAW was filed with the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) and circulated for review and comments to the required EAW distribution list. A Notice of Availability for the initial EAW was published in the EQB Monitor on December 5, 2016. Notices of Availability and Press Releases were published in the St Anthony Bulletin on December 7, 2016. The public comment period ended January 4, 2017. Comments were received from the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), Metropolitan Council, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Minnesota Historical Society (SHPO), and Hennepin County. All comments were considered in determining the potential for significant environmental impacts. Summaries of the comments received, and the City of Saint Anthony Village’s responses to those comments, are provided in Section III, below. II. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS As to the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on this project and based on the record in this matter, including the EAW and comments received, the City of Saint Anthony Village makes the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions: A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Continental Property Group proposes to redevelop an existing 15-acre manufactured home/RV park community, which holds 98 manufactured homes and 95 RV sites, into a combination of multi-family residential units (townhomes and apartments). The project is proposed to construct approximately 837 units. B. PROJECT HISTORY The project was subject to a mandatory EAW per Minnesota Rule 4410.4300 Subpt 19.  The EAW was distributed to the EQB and to the EQB mailing list on December 5, 2016. Public notices containing information about the availability of the EAW for public review was provided to the St Anthony Bulletin for publication in the December 7, 2016 papers. Hard copies of the EAW were provided for public review at Saint Anthony Village City Hall, Northeast Library, Environmental Conservation Library, and an electronic copy was provided on the City of Saint Anthony’s website. A notice was published for the EAW in the December 5, 2016 EQB Monitor. The public comment period ended January 4, 2017. Comments were received from the USACE, Metropolitan Council, MPCA, SHPO, and Hennepin County. Copies of these comment letters are hereby incorporated for reference and included in Attachment A. 20 The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW – Record of Decision City of Saint Anthony Village WSB Project No. 2170-380 Page 2 Corrections to the EAW – No corrections were made to the EAW C. CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS. Minnesota Rule 4410.1700, subp. 1, states “An EIS [Environmental Impact Statement] shall be ordered for projects that have the potential for significant environmental effects.” In deciding whether a project has the potential for significant environmental effects, the City of Saint Anthony Village must consider the four factors set out in Minnesota Rule 4410.1700, subp. 7. With respect to each of these factors, the City of Saint Anthony Village finds the following: 1. MINNESOTA RULE 4410.1700, SUBP. 7.A - TYPE, EXTENT, AND REVERSIBILITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS a. The type of environmental impacts and mitigation efforts anticipated as part of this project include: Soil Disturbance - The project will involve soil disturbance. A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit will be required and erosion control best management practices (BMPs) will need to be in place throughout construction. Zoning - The property is currently zoned as Low Density Residential but is guided to High Density Residential in the City of Saint Anthony Village’s 2008 Comprehensive plan. The project fits within the spirt of high density residential zoning but the development as currently proposed will have a higher residential density then described in Comprehensive Plan’s description of High Density Residential. The City of Saint Anthony Village will address these discrepancies in the 2040 Update to the Comprehensive Plan. A zoning amendment must be requested by the owner to rezone the property as High Density Residential. Land Use - The existing property is a manufactured home community within a developed urban area. The project will convert the area into a high density residential area. This land use is compatible with the Comprehensive plan but the proposed density is greater than the residential density outlined in the comprehensive plan. The City of Saint Anthony Village will address these discrepancies in the 2040 Update to the Comprehensive Plan. Wastewater – The project will increase average day sanitary sewer flows by an estimated 230,000 gallons per day. Wastewater will be conveyed to the Metro Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) via the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) interceptor. The existing wastewater system is capable of handling the increase sanitary flow. The increase in wastewater resulting from the proposed project is not expected to require immediate expansion or improvements to the existing wastewater infrastructure or treatment plant. A sanitary sewer lift station with a force main will likely be required to convey sanitary flow from the development to the existing infrastructure. Water Supply – The proposed development will increase average and maximum day water demands by approximately 140,000 and 300,000 gallons per day, respectively. These flows would be delivered from the City of Saint Anthony Village’s existing water treatment plant (WTP), through the 10-inch trunk main that runs along Silver Lake Road to Kenzie Terrace. The City’s existing water storage and supply will be adequate in managing the increased water demand 21 The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW – Record of Decision City of Saint Anthony Village WSB Project No. 2170-380 Page 3 from this proposed development but there are some existing differences in the City of Saint Anthony Village’s system that will need to be addressed to provide the desired increase in levels of service. Any deficiencies in the system will be addressed at the time of preliminary plat review for the redevelopment. The available flow rate for building’s fire system at the proposed location is approximately 2,300 gpm which is below the Insurance Service Office (ISO)’s requirement. Since the City’s existing water main does not have sufficient capacity to supply the development with required ISO fire flow rate, the City of Saint Anthony Village’s existing trunk main may require upsizing or a booster station may need to be installed to increase pressure. This will be determined upon the review of the preliminary development plan. There is an existing water main easement running through the site that will need to be vacated and re-located as part of the development proposal. Water Quality – The project will increase impervious surface area and the rate of runoff at the project sites. Existing runoff drains to a depression in the southeast quadrant of the project area and discharges to the Saint Anthony Village stormwater system. The stormwater is then discharged into the City of Minneapolis system and into the Mississippi River. City Stormwater System currently surcharges and flows back into this property. Therefore, backflow preventers may be required to manage stormwater runoff onto this site. This will be determined upon the review of the preliminary development plan. Stormwater quality requires the capture and retention of the first 1.1 inches of runoff from the new and fully reconstructed impervious surfaces. However, due to the presence of clay soils and the potential for mobilization of contamination, infiltration is discouraged on this site. Therefore, if the site is unable to capture and retain the 1.1 inches the site must meet the Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization Watershed Management Plan standards. Any deficiencies in the system for the development will be addressed at the time of preliminary plat review for the redevelopment. The one existing storm sewer connection between the project site and Kenzie Terrace will need to be reviewed and permitted by Hennepin County. Potential Environmental Hazards – An underground storage tank (UST) was located at project site but was removed in 1986. A site leak was discovered in 2012 and consisted of fuel oil 1 &2. The leak impacted groundwater. The leak was issued site closure by the MPCA in 2013. Site closure means that the leak does not pose a threat to human health or the environment but the site is not necessarily free of contamination. If excavation is proposed in the vicinity of this site, there is a potential for encountering petroleum impacted soils and/or groundwater will be encountered from the leak. Based on current information, the potential for this is high. Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) were completed for the project area in 2012, and two additional Phase II investigations were completed in 2016. In 2016, various volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and tetrachloroethene were detected in soil vapor at the project site at levels higher than residential intrusion screening values. Diesel range organics (DROs) were detected at concentrations above the MPCA’s criteria for unregulated fill. Diesel range organics and 22 The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW – Record of Decision City of Saint Anthony Village WSB Project No. 2170-380 Page 4 tetrachloroehtene were detected in the ground water at the project site. Excavation during construction is likely to encounter contaminated soil and/or groundwater that will require special management during construction. Additionally, previous Phase II ESA information indicates the property soil is regulated for DRO and VOCs in select areas. A Voluntary Response Action Plan (VRAP) has been prepared for the proposed project and has been approved by the MPCA. The project will involve demolition of buildings. The buildings will need to be inspected for regulated materials prior to demolition. If regulated materials are found they will need to be handled and disposed of in accordance with state and local regulations. Transportation (Parking and Traffic) - A Traffic Impact Study was completed for the project. This Study provided a comprehensive look at anticipated traffic impacts for the regional area. The Traffic Study identified recommended mitigation improvements for 2018 with the proposed development and by 2030 as the area develops. These recommendations include: 1. 2018 with The Village, LLC Development: • Optimize the signal time and coordination between the St Anthony Blvd intersections at New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) and Silver Lake Blvd/Kenzie Terrance (CR 153). • Lengthen the northwest bound left turn lane from St Anthony Blvd to southbound New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) from 125 feet to 200 feet. • Lengthen the northeast bound right turn lane from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) to southeast St Anthony Blvd from 170 feet to 200 feet. • Lengthen the southwest bound left turn from Silver Lake Blvd (CR 153) to southeast St Anthony Blvd from 100 feet to 175 feet. • Lengthen the westbound left turn from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) to southbound NE Stinson Parkway (CR 27) by shortening or removing the existing left turn lane from Kenzie Terrace to the Bremer Bank Building. • Lengthen the northbound left turn from NE Stinson Parkway to westbound NE Lowry Ave from 150 feet to 300 feet. • At the proposed site driveway at Wilson St on Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) provide: o Two lanes exiting the site (one left turn and one through/right lane) o Left turn lane from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) into the site o Right turn lane from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) into the site 2. 2030 with Future Area Development: • Consider a dual roundabout or other intersection control improvements for the St Anthony Blvd intersections at New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) and Silver Lake Blvd/Kenzie Terrance (CR 153). • Consider a roundabout or other intersection control improvements at the 23 The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW – Record of Decision City of Saint Anthony Village WSB Project No. 2170-380 Page 5 intersection of Kenzie Terrace (CR 153)/NE Lowry Ave at NE Stinson Parkway. b. The extent and reversibility of environmental impacts for the proposed project are consistent with those of a typical residential development project. Impacts will be minimized to the extent practical, with mitigation provided for those impacts which cannot be avoided to resources such as water surface runoff, traffic etc. 2. MINNESOTA RULE 4410.1700, SUBP. 7.B - CUMULATIVE POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF RELATED OR ANTICIPATED FUTURE PROJECTS The proposed project will result in redevelopment of the 15-acre project area. Impacts within the project area will result from removal of the existing manufactured home park and the construction of the apartments, townhomes and associated infrastructure. The area surrounding the project area is fully developed. No reasonably foreseeable future projects that would combine with the impacts described in this EAW to create cumulative impacts exist. 3. MINNESOTA RULE 4410.1700, SUBP. 7.C - THE EXTENT TO WHICH ENVIRONMENTAL AFFECTS ARE SUBJECT TO MITIGATION BY ONGOING PUBLIC REGULATORY AUTHORITY a) The following permits or approvals will be required for the project: Unit of government Type of application Status State MPCA NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit To be obtained MPCA Sanitary Sewer Connection To be obtained State Statue Governing Manufactured Home Park Closure Compliance with procedure To be obtained Metropolitan Council MCES Permit To be obtained, if necessary County Hennepin County Roadway Access to Kenzie Terrace To be obtained Hennepin County Storm sewer connection To be obtained Local City of St. Anthony Village Land Use Application, which includes: -Preliminary Plat -Planned Unit Development Rezoning -Preliminary Development Plan -Final Development Plan -Final Plat -Easement vacation Under Review City of St. Anthony Village Declaration of Need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) To be obtained City of St. Anthony Village Building and/or grading permits To be obtained Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization (WMO) permitting Surface water Minneapolis Park and Recreation Roadway Access to Stinson Parkway To be obtained b) The City of Saint Anthony Village finds that the potential impacts identified as part of the proposed The Village, LLC Redevelopment project are minimal and 24 The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW – Record of Decision City of Saint Anthony Village WSB Project No. 2170-380 Page 6 can be addressed through the regulatory agencies as part of the permitting process. As a result, additional analysis of these impacts is not required. 4. MINNESOTA RULE 4410.1700, SUBP. 7.D - THE EXTENT TO WHICH ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS CAN BE ANTICIPATED AND CONTROLLED AS A RESULT OF OTHER AVAILABLE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES UNDERTAKEN BY PUBLIC AGENCIES OR THE PROJECT PROPOSER, INCLUDING OTHER EISs. The City finds: 1. The proposed project is reasonably similar to other development and redevelopment projects in the area. Other large scale residential redevelopment projects have been completed in the neighboring areas of the City of Minneapolis in recent years. 2. No EIS that addresses a similarly sized project is known to be available in the City of Saint Anthony Village or the surrounding area. 3. In light of the results of environmental review and permitting processes for similar projects, the City of Saint Anthony Village finds that the environmental effects of the project can be adequately anticipated, controlled, and mitigated. The City of Saint Anthony Village finds that the environmental effects of the project can be anticipated and controlled as a result of the environmental review, planning, and permitting processes. D. CONCLUSIONS The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW and comments received have generated information adequate to determine that the proposed project does not have the potential for significant environmental effects. The EAW has identified areas where the potential for environmental effects exist, but appropriate mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project plans and the required approvals and permits to mitigate these effects are being obtained. The project will comply with all county, city, and federal review agency requirements. Based on the criteria established in Minnesota Rule 4410.1700, the project does not have the potential for significant environmental effects. Based on the Findings of Fact and Conclusions, the project does not have the potential for significant environmental impacts. Therefore, an EIS is not required for The Village, LLC Redevelopment project. III. AGENCY COMMENTS AND CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE RESPONSES A 30-day comment period for the above-referenced EAW ended on January 4, 2017. Comments were received from USACE, Metropolitan Council, MPCA, SHPO, and Hennepin County. On behalf of the City of Saint Anthony Village as the RGU, comment responses are provided below. These letters are included in Attachment A. Comments received and responses are summarized below. 25 The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW – Record of Decision City of Saint Anthony Village WSB Project No. 2170-380 Page 7 Comment 1 (USACE): We have received your submittal. Response to Comment 1: Thank you for reviewing the EAW. Comment 2 (MPCA): Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the EAW for The Village, LLC Redevelopment project. MPCA staff has reviewed the EAW and have no comments at this time. Response to Comment 2: Thank you for reviewing the EAW. Comment 3 (Metropolitan Council): The staff review finds that the EAW is complete and accurate with respect to regional concerns and does not raise major issues of consistency with Metropolitan Council policies. An EIS is not necessary for regional purposes. Response to Comment 3: Thank you for reviewing the EAW. Comment 4 (Metropolitan Council): The scale of development proposed in the EAW accommodates a greater number of households that what is currently forecasted for growth in the City of Saint Anthony Village. A forecast increase is needed and the City of Saint Anthony Village should request a forecast increase as part of a comprehensive plan amendment or part of the comprehensive plan update due in 2018. Metropolitan Council staff would recommend the additional of 700 households and 1,800 population to the Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) #1263. The City of Saint Anthony Village can consult with Michael Larson, their Sector Representative. Response to Comment 4: The City will include the updated forecasts, as outlined in the 2040 Update to the Comprehensive Plan. Comment 5 (Metropolitan Council): The EAW is correct that the site is guided for High Density Residential but the EAW doesn’t address the development density, which is addressed in the City of Saint Anthony Village’s comprehensive plan. The residential density of the proposed development is greater (54 dwelling units per acres (du/acre)) than the residential density stated in Table 2-6 of the City of Saint Anthony Village’s comprehensive plan (8 and 40 du/acre) for the High Density Residential. A review of the EAW by MCES indicates that there is adequate capacity of wastewater flow at this site for the anticipated residential density. The City of Saint Anthony Village should adjust its development density assumptions through a comprehensive plan amendment. Response to Comment 5: The City of Saint Anthony Village will include the updated land use descriptions and tables regarding density in the 2040 Update to the Comprehensive Plan. Comment 6 (Metropolitan Council): The proposed development fits with the description of High Density Residential in Table 2-4 of the City of Saint Anthony Village’s Comprehensive Plan which includes descriptions of land use categories. Table 2-4 does not include assumptions about a density range for High Density Residential but does include assumptions about a density range for other land uses. Table 2-4 should be amended to include density ranges for all land use categories that allow residential development, consistent with Table 2-6. Response to Comment 6: The City of Saint Anthony Village will include the updated land use descriptions and tables regarding density in the 2040 Update to the Comprehensive Plan. 26 The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW – Record of Decision City of Saint Anthony Village WSB Project No. 2170-380 Page 8 Comment 7 (Metropolitan Council): There is no indication of any specific efforts to mitigate the loss of the 98 affordable housing units in Lowry Grove. The Metropolitan Council encourages the City of Saint Anthony Village to utilize available tools and resource to realize the development of 98 income-restricted units affordable at 60% of area median income as part of the development, elsewhere in the City of Saint Anthony Village, or some combination of the two. Response to Comment 7: The City of Saint Anthony Village anticipates affordable housing as part of the developer’s proposal. The details of which will be reviewed at the time of the preliminary development plan. Comment 8 (Metropolitan Council): The development appears to be in line with the MPCA’s recommendations regarding site soils and potential groundwater contamination. There appears to be deficiencies, however, in the City of Saint Anthony Village’s stormwater and water supply infrastructure that will need to be addressed by the City of Saint Anthony Village to provide the desired increase in levels of service to this proposed development. Response to Comment 8: The City of Saint Anthony Village will address such deficiencies at the time of preliminary plat review for the re-development. The City of Saint Anthony Village has processes in-place to address these issues during the permit and review processes. Comment 9 (Metropolitan Council): The redevelopment of the project site provides an opportunity to enhance bus waiting facilities including the installation of electric utilities to support light and heat in shelters, as well as improved pedestrian connections. Please contact us about the potential for coordinated improvement. Response to Comment 9: The City of Saint Anthony Village will contact Metropolitan Council to coordinate enhanced bus shelters at the time of preliminary plat. Comment 10 (Hennepin County): For all proposed mitigation work on Hennepin County roadways once ready, Hennepin County will require review and ultimately a permit will need to be obtained before this work commences. Response to Comment 10: The City of Saint Anthony Village will submit to Hennepin County any improvement plans and permits required as identified in the EAW for review and approval. Comment 11 (Hennepin County): For work on Stinson Blvd and Hennepin County Road 153, the County will require Minneapolis Park Board coordination as well. Response to Comment 11: The City of Saint Anthony Village will submit to the City of Minneapolis any improvement plans and permits required as identified in the EAW for review and approval. 27 The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW – Record of Decision City of Saint Anthony Village WSB Project No. 2170-380 Page 9 Comment 12 (Hennepin County): Is there any storm sewer connection (existing or proposed) between the project site and Kenzie Terrace (Hennepin County Road 153)? If so, this connection will require further review and permitting by Hennepin County. Connections to the Hennepin County storm sewer system are only allowed at existing connection locations by permit. Response to Comment 12: There is one existing storm sewer connection between the project site and Kenzie Terrace. Permits will be obtained at the time of preliminary plat review for the re- development. The City of Saint Anthony Village and Hennepin County have processes in place to address storm water in the permit and plan approval processes. Comment 13 (Hennepin County): The traffic analysis discussed in the Transportation Section of the EAW needs to provide a 20 year projection for 2038 (not a 12 year projection for 2030) and should be reflected throughout the document and in the suggested mitigation. The analysis should also assume the full intersections are not rebuilt to roundabouts, unless that is what is proposed with the development. Response to Comment 13: The analysis for 2030 included assumption of full build of the proposed development with a minimal background traffic growth of 0.15%/year. Increasing the traffic volumes from 2030 to 2038 would increase the background traffic conditions by only 1.2%. The recommended mitigation plan identified short term and long term improvements. The short term improvements are based on the 2018 conditions assuming the full build of the development. The long term represents improvements that should/could be considered as traffic increases. The recommendation indicated that roundabouts should be considered. At the point when additional intersection improvements are needed an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) would be completed to determine the best solution for each intersection. Based on our engineering judgement the requested modification will not in our opinion change the recommended mitigation. However, the City of Saint Anthony Village will work with Hennepin County to make any necessary changes to the Traffic Study through the development approval process. Comment 14 (Hennepin County): It was suggested to optimize the signal time and coordination between the St Anthony Blvd intersections at New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) and Silver Lake Blvd/Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) – What signal timings were used in the analysis? The synchro/sim traffic files will need review by Hennepin County Response to Comment 14: The signal timing used for the intersections was based on optimization of the intersection traffic conditions using the Synchro/SimTraffic software. The worksheet will be provided to Hennepin County for review with the revised Traffic Study. Comment 15 (Hennepin County): What is the logic of lengthening the NW bound left-turn lane on St. Anthony Parkway to the southbound New Brighton Blvd (CSAH 88) from 125’ to 200’ suggested as mitigation? The traffic study shows the movement largely stays the same through build and non-build scenarios. Is this suggesting that many residents/visitors to the development would cut through the shopping center via Pentagon Dr? Response to Comment 15: Although the changes are not significant, the anticipated vehicle queue lengths will be reaching the available storage based on the Synchro/SimTraffic analysis. 28 The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW – Record of Decision City of Saint Anthony Village WSB Project No. 2170-380 Page 10 Comment 16 (Hennepin County): Lengthening the NB right-turn land from Kenzie Terrace (CSAH 153) to southbound St. Anthony Parkway to 200’ would put the taper right at the existing curb cut from the shopping center Response to Comment 16: The location of where the turn lane taper begins will be reviewed and approved by Hennepin County prior to completion of final design plans. Comment 17 (Hennepin County): The statement on page 23 or 24 that says “lengthen the southwest bound turn land from Silver Lake BLVD (CR 153)” should be corrected to Silver Lake ROAD, and as CR 136. Response to Comment 17: Comment is noted and will be changed with the revised Traffic Study. Comment 18 (Hennepin County): If considering roundabouts in the immediate vicinity Stinson and St. Anthony Blvd intersection should potential by considered as a well Response to Comment 18: Comment is noted and will be considered with the revised Traffic Study. Comment 19 (Hennepin County): Traffic Impact Study (Appendix D), Page 6, the lane configuration for the Kenzie at Lowry Grove Entrance listed is not correct and should include east bound (EB) Kenzie as one left, one through and one through/right Response to Comment 19: The analysis used the correct lane configuration. The comment is noted and will be changed with the revised Traffic Study. Comment 20 (Hennepin County): Traffic Impact Study (Appendix D), Page 6, the lane configuration for the Kenzie at Wilson Street is not correct and should include EB Kenzie as one through and one through/right, and west bound (WB) Kenzie as one left and two through lanes Response to Comment 20: The analysis used the correct lane configuration. The comment is noted and will be changed with the revised Traffic Study. Comment 21 (Hennepin County): Traffic Impact Study (Appendix D), Page 7, more discussion on the crash data is needed, including calculated crash rate and critical rate for all intersections and the average rate for similar types of intersections for comparison Response to Comment 21: Comment is noted and additional discussion will be added with the revised Traffic Study. 29 The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW – Record of Decision City of Saint Anthony Village WSB Project No. 2170-380 Page 11 Comment 22 (Hennepin County): Traffic Impact Study (Appendix D), Page 10, the background growth of projected traffic needs to be projected to 2038. The growth rate used in the analysis of 0.15% seems low compared to historically what Hennepin County has seen. The rate of 0.50% is typically used for well- developed locations such as Minneapolis. Response to Comment 22: As indicated in the Traffic Study the 0.15% growth rate is based on the Metropolitan Council modeling. Based on our engineering judgement the requested modification will not in our opinion change the recommended mitigation. However, the City of Saint Anthony Village will work with Hennepin County to make any necessary changes to the Traffic Study through the development approval process. Comment 23 (Hennepin County): Traffic Impact Study (Appendix D), Page 11, the 5% of traffic estimate is believed to underestimate trips to/from the southeast on St Anthony Blvd, especially since that route can account for the majority of St. Paul and other East/SE trips involving TH 280/ I-94E. Response to Comment 23: The traffic distribution is based on the existing travel sheds and the Metropolitan Council modeling. As indicated previously we will work with Hennepin County to make any necessary changes to the Traffic Study through the development approval process. Comment 24 (Hennepin County): Traffic Impact Study (Appendix D), Page 11, the 50% of trips to/from the south on Stinson further complicates an already congested intersection with 18th Ave/Stinson Blvd/New Brighton Blvd. For completeness, the study should include this intersection in the scope/mitigation analysis Response to Comment 24: This intersection was not identified during the initial meeting with Hennepin County. Additional traffic volume data will be required to complete the analysis. As indicated previously we will work with Hennepin County to make any necessary changes to the Traffic Study through the development approval process. Comment 25 (Hennepin County): Traffic Impact Study (Appendix D), Table 3, for all intersections with traffic signals, are these LOS [Level of Service] values based on existing signal timings or are these based on adjusted timings? If with timings adjusted, what adjustments have been made? Response to Comment 25: As indicated previously, the signal timing used for the intersections was based on optimization of the intersection traffic conditions using the Synchro/SimTraffic software. The worksheet will be provided to Hennepin County for review with the revised Traffic Study. Comment 26 (Hennepin County): Traffic Impact Study (Appendix D), Tables 4 and 5, future projected level of service needs to be redone for the year 2038 and using a 0.5% growth rate. Response to Comment 26: Comment is noted. All Tables will be updated with the revised Traffic Study. 30 The Village, LLC Redevelopment EAW – Record of Decision City of Saint Anthony Village WSB Project No. 2170-380 Page 12 Comment 27 (Hennepin County): Traffic Impact Study (Appendix D), Tables 4 and 5, according to the tables, some movements at St. Anthony Boulevard/Kenzie Terrace and Stinson Boulevard/Lowry Avenue/Kenzie Terrace operate less than LOS D. What are those movements? The LOS for those movements needs to be identified as well as under the existing 2016 conditions for comparison purposes. Response to Comment 27: Comment is noted and the additional information will be included with the revised Traffic Study. Comment 28 (Hennepin County): Traffic Impact Study (Appendix D), Tables 4 and 5, are these LOS values based on existing signal timings or are these based on adjusted timings? If with timings adjusted, what adjustments have been made? Response to Comment 28: As indicated previously, the signal timing used for the intersections was based on optimization of the intersection traffic conditions using the Synchro/SimTraffic software. The worksheet will be provided to Hennepin County for review with the revised Traffic Study. Comment 29 (Hennepin County): Figure 6 is not included in the report. Please provide. Response to Comment 29: Figure 6 is shown on page 12 of the current Traffic Study. The City of Saint Anthony Village will insure that it is included with revised Traffic Study. Comment 30 (SHPO): Based on our review of the project information, we conclude that there are no properties listed in the National or State Registers of Historical Places, and no known or suspected archaeological properties in the area that will be affected by this project. Response to Comment 30: Thank you for reviewing the EAW. Comment 31 (SHPO): As stated in the EAW, Stinson Parkway is contributing to the Ground Rounds Historic District. We appreciate the efforts to minimize visual effects to the historic district by locating the small-scale (2-3 story) townhomes closer to the parkway and the taller multi-unit (5 story) buildings behind the townhomes, further away from the parkway. Response to Comment 31: Thank you for reviewing the EAW. Comment 32 (SHPO): If this project is considered for federal assistance, or requires a federal license or permit, a Section 106 consultation will need to be completed. The responsible federal agency should submit the project to our office for consultation. Response to Comment 32: If federal assistance or a federal license or permit becomes part of the project, your office will be consulted. 31 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK 32 page 1 July 2013 version ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET This Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) form and EAW Guidelines are available at the Environmental Quality Board’s website at: http://www.eqb.state.mn.us/EnvRevGuidanceDocuments.htm.

Project Description: a. Provide the brief project summary to be published in the EQB Monitor, (approximately 50 words). The proposed project will involve the redevelopment of an existing 15-acre manufactured home/RV park community, which holds 98 manufactured homes and 95 R.V. sites, into a combination of multi-family residential units (townhomes and apartments). The project is proposed to construct approximately 837 units. b. Give a complete description of the proposed project and related new construction, including infrastructure needs. If the project is an expansion include a description of the existing facility. Emphasize: 1) construction, operation methods and features that will cause physical manipulation of the environment or will produce wastes, 2) modifications to existing equipment or industrial processes, 3) significant demolition, removal or remodeling of existing structures, and 4) timing and duration of construction activities. The proposed project will result in the redevelopment of an approximately 15-acre parcel from an existing manufactured home community with approximately 98 home sites and 95 RV sites to a medium- and high-density residential development containing a total of approximately 837 units. As part of the redevelopment, the existing manufactured homes and RVs will be moved out of the project area. Existing pavement and utilities will be removed. All homes and buildings will be inspected for lead and asbestos and demolished. If lead or asbestos-containing materials are discovered, they will be disposed of at a facility licensed to handle that type of hazardous material. Approximately 15.38 acres of soil will be graded as part of the project. An estimated 65,000 cubic yards of cut and fill will occur on site, and is expected to result in a net balance. This includes excavation for the below-grade levels of the proposed buildings. Excess material unsuitable for foundation soils may require export from the site. Improved foundation material will be imported onsite as necessary. Equipment such as graders and backhoes will be used to grade the site and excavate soils. Five multi-unit buildings will be constructed as part of the redevelopment (Figure 4). The tallest of the buildings will be 5 stories (56 feet). The total number of units within the buildings will be approximately 800 units. An additional 37 2- to 3-story townhome units will also be constructed. Construction methods will be typical of building construction and will include equipment such as graders, backhoes, and cranes. The buildings will be constructed using wood, steel and concrete. New utilities, including sanitary sewer will be installed and connected to the buildings. Construction waste produced during the construction of the project will be disposed of by a license garbage hauler serving the Saint Anthony Village area. No hazardous wastes will be produced during construction. Interior roadways will be constructed throughout the project area to provide access to neighboring roadways and individual buildings/parking areas. Some interior roadways will allow parking. The dimensions of the proposed roadways are approximate:  without parking: 28 feet  with parking along one side: 37 feet  with parking along both sides: 48 feet 38 page 4 The roads will be constructed using typical road construction methods and will be paved with bituminous pavement. Stormsewer will be constructed along with the roadways to collect runoff from storm events. Stormwater from the roadways and other impervious surfaces will be generally routed to a stormwater treatment system located within the redevelopment site. The proposed redevelopment is anticipated to begin in summer 2017 with the removal of the manufactured homes. Grading of the project area is expected to begin in summer 2017, and construction of the buildings will be phased and construction will occur an approximately 5 year timeframe. The townhomes are anticipated to be constructed first followed by the apartments and senior co-op depending on demand. The project is expected to be completed in 2022. c.

If addressing cumulative effect under individual items, make sure to include information requested in EAW Item No. 19 9. Land use: a. Describe: i. Existing land use of the site as well as areas adjacent to and near the site, including parks, trails, prime or unique farmlands. Land Use The land is currently zoned for Low Density Residential (Figure 5), but guided for High Density Residential in the City 2008 Comprehensive Plan (Figure 6). In the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, the Comprehensive Plan controls in the event of a conflict and, upon request of the owner, zoning must be amended to come into conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The project area is currently a manufactured home community within a developed urban area. Bremer Bank (2 stories) is located on the southwestern-most corner of the property and currently is not part of the redevelopment plan. Kenzington Condos (ownership condos for seniors) are located immediately to the east (5 stories, plus at-grade garage). To the south is The Legacy (4 story rental, assisted living for seniors), Walker Senior Housing (3 story rental, assisted living for seniors) and Autumn Woods (3 story affordable rental units). The project area is on the eastern edge of an urban neighborhood that is comprised of multi-family housing, single family homes and a few small commercial business, schools, parks and churches. Surrounding Zoning North: Low Density Residential / Zoned R-1 - Single Family Residential East: High Density Residential/Planned Unit Development South: High Density Residential and Commercial/Planned Unit Development West: Single-Family Residential and Commercial in City of Minneapolis Parks Silver Point Park and Trillium Park are located northeast of the project area within the commercial business area (Figure 8). Gross National Golf Club is located east of the project area, and two cemeteries, Minneapolis Diagonal Trail runs from north to south east of the project area along New Brighton Blvd. Farmland The project area is an urban area. There are no prime or unique farmlands within or near the project area. 41 page 7 ii. Plans. Describe planned land use as identified in comprehensive plan (if available) and any other applicable plan for land use, water, or resources management by a local, regional, state, or federal agency. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan’s Land Use Plan identifies the project area as multi-family housing and a location for planned change (Figure 6) and discusses the following items related to the site at 2501 Lowry Avenue:  It acknowledges Lowry Grove as a source of affordable housing in the community.  It recognizes its age and condition.  It states that any changes in land use would be initiated by the landowner, not proactively by the City.  It states that any change in land use would require proper notification and provision for relocation under state statute.  It states the importance of provision of affordable housing in this area to the community.  It outlines a general vision, should the property redevelop, that includes a mix of multi-family housing (“townhomes and condominium apartments”).  Discusses the need for pedestrian improvements and streetscape on Kenzie Terrace. iii. Zoning, including special districts or overlays such as shoreland, floodplain, wild and scenic rivers, critical area, agricultural preserves, etc. The project area is zoned as single family residential (Figure 7) and is part of the Kenzie Terrace District. No special districts or overlays exist for this project area. b. Discuss the project’s compatibility with nearby land uses, zoning, and plans listed in Item 9a above, concentrating on implications for environmental effects. The site plan proposes townhomes along the west and north edges of the project area that are adjacent to single family residential areas. It also indicates the multi-family housing adjacent to the existing high density residential areas. The project area is zoned as single family and would need to be rezoned as Planned Unit Development/Multi-Family Residential. The planned development does fit with the general vision outlined for the property in Comprehensive Plan and includes units of affordable housing. c. Identify measures incorporated into the proposed project to mitigate any potential incompatibility as discussed in Item 9b above. The project area is zoned as single family and would need to be rezoned as Planned Unit Development/Multi-Family Residential prior to construction. 42 page 8 10. Geology, soils and topography/land forms: a. Geology - Describe the geology underlying the project area and identify and map any susceptible geologic features such as sinkholes, shallow limestone formations, unconfined/shallow aquifers, or karst conditions. Discuss any limitations of these features for the project and any effects the project could have on these features. Identify any project designs or mitigation measures to address effects to geologic features. The surficial geology of the project area is loamy till with moderate relief (Figure 9). Till is unsorted material deposited directly by glacial ice. The till within the project area was deposited during the most recent glacial period, which is referred to as the Wisconsin episode of the Quaternary Period, occurred from 110,000 years to 12,000 year before present time. The till is primarily loam-textured, unsorted sediment with pebbles, some cobbles and a few boulders. The till deposits form round or elliptical hills with an overall relief of about 40 feet to 70 feet. Within the project area, the till extend roughly 50 feet down before reaching the first bedrock layer. The first bedrock layer under most of the project area is Platteville and Glenwood Formation (Figure 10). The formation is made up of the Platteville formation underlain by the Glenwood formation. The Platteville formation is made up primarily of limestone and dolostone. b. Soils and topography - Describe the soils on the site, giving NRCS (SCS) classifications and descriptions, including limitations of soils. Describe topography, any special site conditions relating to erosion potential, soil stability or other soils limitations, such as steep slopes, highly permeable soils. Provide estimated volume and acreage of soil excavation and/or grading. Discuss impacts from project activities (distinguish between construction and operational activities) related to soils and topography. Identify measures during and after project construction to address soil limitations including stabilization, soil corrections or other measures. Erosion/sedimentation control related to stormwater runoff should be addressed in response to Item 11.b.ii. The soil on the project area is Urban land - Udorthents complex with 0-6% slopes (Table 4, Figure 11). These soils are the result of cut and fill activity. The soils are well drained. Grading will include approximately 65,000 cubic yards in the project area which includes grading for below grade levels. The cut and fill is expected to result in a net balance. Excess material unsuitable for foundations may require export from the site. Improved foundation material will be imported onsite as necessary. The project construction will comply with all NPDES permit conditions to ensure proper stabilization time. After project construction, all areas will be landscaped.

Descriptions of water resources and potential effects from the project in EAW Item 11 must be consistent with the geology, soils and topography/land forms and potential effects described in EAW Item 10. 11. Water resources: a. Describe surface water and groundwater features on or near the site in a.i. and a.ii. below. i. Surface water - lakes, streams, wetlands, intermittent channels, and county/judicial ditches. Include any special designations such as public waters, trout stream/lake, wildlife lakes, migratory waterfowl feeding/resting lake, and outstanding resource value water. Include water quality impairments or special designations listed on the current MPCA 303d Impaired Waters List that are within 1 mile of the project. Include DNR Public Waters Inventory number(s), if any. The DNR’s Public Waters Inventory and National Wetlands Inventory maps were reviewed and there are no surface water features within the project area (Figure 12). There are no listed MPCA 303d Impaired waters within 1 mile of the project; however, the Mississippi River (approximately 2.3 miles west) is listed as impaired for bacteria, and water from this area of Saint Anthony drains to the river. ii. Groundwater – aquifers, springs, seeps. Include: 1) depth to groundwater; 2) if project is within a MDH wellhead protection area; 3) identification of any onsite and/or nearby wells, including unique numbers and well logs if available. If there are no wells known onsite or nearby, explain the methodology used to determine this. Based on data gathered from well logs (Appendix C), the depth to groundwater varies between 68 - 125 feet across the project area. Based on the preliminary findings from the developer’s environmental consultant, water is present approximately 6 feet below the surface in some areas. This is most likely a perched groundwater condition. The project is not located in a MDH wellhead protection area. The project is in Minneapolis’s Drinking Water Supply Management Area for Surface Water. The wells listed below in Table 5 and shown in Figure 13 are within or adjacent to the project area: Table 5: Wells within 350 feet of Project Area Well ID Type Status Static Water Level (below land surface) 256760 Domestic Inactive 68 ft. 276877 Domestic Active 109 ft. 247102 Other Abandoned unknown 257353 Unknown Sealed 107 ft. 507600 Monitor Sealed unknown 233267 Commercial Active 125 ft. 233887 Domestic Active unknown 44 page 10 251491 Domestic Sealed 115 ft. b. Describe effects from project activities on water resources and measures to minimize or mitigate the effects in Item b.i. through Item b.iv. below. i. Wastewater - For each of the following, describe the sources, quantities and composition of all sanitary, municipal/domestic and industrial wastewater produced or treated at the site. 1) If the wastewater discharge is to a publicly owned treatment facility, identify any pretreatment measures and the ability of the facility to handle the added water and waste loadings, including any effects on, or required expansion of, municipal wastewater infrastructure. The development will increase average day sanitary sewer flows by an estimated 230,000 gallons per day (274 gallons/unit/day for average flows), and was calculated based on the Metropolitan Council’s Flow Variation Factors for Sewer Design from the 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan. These flows will ultimately travel to the Metropolitan Council’s Metro Wastewater Treatment Plant via meter M104. It is planned that the wastewater from the development will enter the system at the 24” diameter PVC in the alley south of 27th Avenue NE. The pipe and downstream system is capable of handling the increased sanitary flows proposed from the development, according to the City’s sanitary sewer model. Depending on the final grading of the site, a 600 gpm sanitary sewer lift station with a 10” inner diameter forcemain will likely be required. St. Anthony will surpass the Metropolitan Council’s wastewater projections, as outlined in its Water Resources Policy Plan. The Council currently does not predict a significant increase in wastewater flows from the City between 2010 and 2040, with wastewater flows meeting their expected peak of 0.76 MGD in 2020. The City’s average daily wastewater flows from 2010 to 2015 were 0.73 MGD. Therefore, the Council is planning to treat, at most, an increase of 0.03 MGD, while this project will increase flows by an estimated 0.23 MGD, bringing the City’s total to 0.96 - 0.99MGD. The development may therefore require review by the Metropolitan Council to determine if their interceptor can accommodate the increase in flows. 2) If the wastewater discharge is to a subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS), describe the system used, the design flow, and suitability of site conditions for such a system. Wastewater will not discharge to a subsurface sewage treatment system. 3) If the wastewater discharge is to surface water, identify the wastewater treatment methods and identify discharge points and proposed effluent limitations to mitigate impacts. Discuss any effects to surface or groundwater from wastewater discharges. Wastewater will not discharge to surface water. 45 page 11 ii. Stormwater - Describe the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff at the site prior to and post construction. Include the routes and receiving water bodies for runoff from the site (major downstream water bodies as well as the immediate receiving waters). Discuss any environmental effects from stormwater discharges. Describe stormwater pollution prevention plans including temporary and permanent runoff controls and potential BMP site locations to manage or treat stormwater runoff. Identify specific erosion control, sedimentation control or stabilization measures to address soil limitations during and after project construction. Under existing conditions the site contains a manufactured housing park with 6.6 acres of impervious surface. Proposed conditions will consist of multi-family residences with 9.6 acres of impervious surface. Existing runoff drains to a depression in the southeast quadrant of the project area and discharges to the Saint Anthony Village stormwater system. The stormwater is then discharged into the City of Minneapolis system and into the Mississippi River. There is a history of flooding on this property and surrounding properties. An XP- SWMM model has been developed to determine the existing conditions runoff rates for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year Atlas-14 storm events (Table 6). This model indicates that the City Stormwater System currently surcharges and flows back into this property. Therefore, backflow preventers may be required to manage stormwater runoff onto this site. Table 6: Existing Discharge Rate into the City Storm Sewer System Storm Discharge Rate (cfs) 2-Year 5.8 10-Year 5.9 100-Year 6.1 The proposed XP SWMM analysis of the proposed development will need to show that there will be no increase in the 100-year, 24-hour storm form the new development into the City of St. Anthony storm sewer. The final grading plan and design will be submitted to the City of Saint Anthony Village for review and approval prior to construction. Stormwater quality requires the capture and retention of the first 1.1 inches of runoff from the new and fully reconstructed impervious surfaces. However, due to the presence of clay soils and the potential for mobilization of contamination, infiltration is discouraged on this site. Therefore, if the site is unable to capture and retain the 1.1 inches the site must achieve the following, per the Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization Watershed Management Plan 2011-2021 (11-09-2016 Revision) Appendix Q:  0.55 inch volume reduction  Remove 75% of the annual Total Phosphorus between pre and post conditions. 46 page 12  Examine the merits of relocating project elements to address, varying soil and contamination conditions. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will need to be prepared in accordance with NPDES guidelines and the City of Saint Anthony Village’s Stormwater Management criteria, and will be required to be submitted and approved prior to construction. Grading, drainage, and erosion control measures must be consistent with Mississippi Watershed Management Organization’s Management Plan and the City of Saint Anthony Village’s Surface Water Management Plan. There will be no anticipated downstream environmental effects from the proposed project based on the project needing to meet state and local requirements. iii. Water appropriation - Describe if the project proposes to appropriate surface or groundwater (including dewatering). Describe the source, quantity, duration, use and purpose of the water use and if a DNR water appropriation permit is required. Describe any well abandonment. If connecting to an existing municipal water supply, identify the wells to be used as a water source and any effects on, or required expansion of, municipal water infrastructure. Discuss environmental effects from water appropriation, including an assessment of the water resources available for appropriation. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate environmental effects from the water appropriation. Water Supply and Infrastructure The proposed development will increase average and maximum day water demands by approximately 140,000 and 300,000 gallons per day, respectively. The additional water demands were calculated as 180 gallons per unit per day for average flows, with the peak factor of 2.14 determined from historic water usage data. These calculations resulted in an average daily demand of 105 gallons per minute and a peak daily demand of 225 gallons per minute. These flows would be delivered from the City’s existing water treatment plant (WTP), through the 10-inch trunk main that runs along Silver Lake Road to Kenzie Terrace. The City’s existing water storage and supply will be adequate in managing the increased water demand from this proposed development. It is planned that the development’s service connections will be located along Kenzie Terrace to provide the maximum available fire flow rates. Without knowing more information regarding the proposed building’s interior sprinkler system flow rate requirements, a minimum fire flow rate for the development was conservatively assumed to be 3,500 gallons per minute (gpm). This fire flow was approximated based on the Insurance Service Office (ISO) standards and recommendations. The City’s existing water system was modeled to determine if the existing infrastructure would be adequate in providing the required minimum fire flow rate. As the system currently exists, the available flow rate at the proposed location is approximately 2,300 gpm which is below the ISO’s requirement. 47 page 13 Since the City’s existing watermain does not have sufficient capacity to supply the development with required ISO fire flow rate, the following are options for addressing this issue:  Obtain more specific information pertaining to the Village, LLC development in regards to their interior sprinkler system flow rate requirements.  Upsizing the City’s existing trunk main may be required to provide the development with the required 3,500 gpm fire flow rate.  Installation of a booster station to increase fire flow pressure may be an alternative. There is an existing watermain easement running through the site that will need to be vacated and re-located as part of the development proposal. Surface Waters a) Wetlands - Describe any anticipated physical effects or alterations to wetland features such as draining, filling, permanent inundation, dredging and vegetative removal. Discuss direct and indirect environmental effects from physical modification of wetlands, including the anticipated effects that any proposed wetland alterations may have to the host watershed. Identify measures to avoid (e.g., available alternatives that were considered), minimize, or mitigate environmental effects to wetlands. Discuss whether any required compensatory wetland mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts will occur in the same minor or major watershed, and identify those probable locations. There are no wetlands within the property so no wetland impacts will occur. b) Other surface waters- Describe any anticipated physical effects or alterations to surface water features (lakes, streams, ponds, intermittent channels, county/judicial ditches) such as draining, filling, permanent inundation, dredging, diking, stream diversion, impoundment, aquatic plant removal and riparian alteration. Discuss direct and indirect environmental effects from physical modification of water features. Identify measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate environmental effects to surface water features, including in-water Best Management Practices that are proposed to avoid or minimize turbidity/sedimentation while physically altering the water features. Discuss how the project will change the number or type of watercraft on any water body, including current and projected watercraft usage. There are no surface waters present within the project area. The project will not change the number of type of watercraft on any water body. 48 page 14 12. Contamination/Hazardous Materials/Wastes: a. Pre-project site conditions - Describe existing contamination or potential environmental hazards on or in close proximity to the project site such as soil or ground water contamination, abandoned dumps, closed landfills, existing or abandoned storage tanks, and hazardous liquid or gas pipelines. Discuss any potential environmental effects from pre-project site conditions that would be caused or exacerbated by project construction and operation. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from existing contamination or potential environmental hazards. Include development of a Contingency Plan or Response Action Plan. The project area was reviewed for potentially contaminated soils using publically-available data. The following databases were reviewed:  MPCA “What’s in My Neighborhood?” website and  MPCA Tanks and Leaks website  Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) “What’s in My Neighborhood?” website  Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)  Phase II ESA One MPCA database listing was identified within the project area for an underground storage tank (UST) and leak (Figure 14, Site 1). The UST, 12,000 gallons in size, contained fuel oil, and was removed in 1986. The location of the removed UST tank is unknown at this time. The associated site leak was discovered in 2012, consisted of fuel oil 1 & 2, impacted groundwater, and was issued site closure by the MPCA on March 15, 2013. Site closure means that an investigation has been completed and the MPCA has determined the leak does not pose a threat to human health or the environment in its current state. Site closure does not mean that the site is free of contamination. Four MPCA database listings were identified immediately adjacent to the project area. One of these four listings, Site 2, contained evidence of contamination. Site 2 is listed on the Leaks database. The identified leak (ID 407) was discovered in 1987, consisted of fuel oil 1 & 2 and leaded gasoline, and was issued site closure by the MPCA on November 26, 1991. Due to the proximity of this site, it is possible the leak has resulted in contamination within the eastern portion of the project area. In addition to the MPCA data, there have been a number of pervious environmental documents prepared for the project area. Phase I and II ESAs were completed for the project area in 2012, and two additional Phase II investigations were completed in 2016. The Phase I ESA identified two recognized environmental conditions (RECs) associated with the project area. REC-1 was the result of two historical dry cleaners located adjacent to the project area to the southwest. REC-2 was the result of two former fuel oil USTs, which were removed from the project area near the laundry/shower room building in 2012. Previous investigations determined that at least one of the two USTs had leaked, resulting in soil and groundwater impacts. The associated MPCA leak number (ID 18847) was issued site closure in 2013. In 2016, diesel range organics (DRO) were detected at a maximum concentration of 364 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) in the soil at the project area which is above the MPCA’s criteria for unregulated fill of 100 mg/kg. Various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were also 49 page 15 detected in soil vapor at the project area in 2016 at concentrations above residential intrusion screening values (ISVs). Tetrachloroethene (commonly associated with historical drycleaner operations) was detected in the soil vapor at a concentration of 43 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) which is greater than ten times the established residential ISV for this compound of 33 µg/m3. Additionally, DRO was detected in the groundwater at a concentration of 0.22 micrograms per liter (µg/L) and tetrachloroethene was detected in the groundwater at a concentration of 2.6 µg/L. The tetrachloroethene detections are likely due to an off-site source (the former dry cleaner sites) located south of the project area. Excavation during construction is likely to encounter contaminated soil and/or groundwater that will require special management during construction. Additionally, previous Phase II ESA information indicates the property soil is regulated for DRO and VOCs in select areas. A Voluntary Response Action Plan (VRAP) has been prepared for the proposed project and has been approved by the MPCA (Appendix B). b. Project related generation/storage of solid wastes - Describe solid wastes generated/stored during construction and/or operation of the project. Indicate method of disposal. Discuss potential environmental effects from solid waste handling, storage and disposal. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the generation/storage of solid waste including source reduction and recycling. During construction solid wastes generated will be typical of a residential construction project. Construction waste produced during the construction of the project will be disposed of by a license garbage hauler serving the Saint Anthony Village area. For the post development period, the waste generated will be mixed municipal waste collected and disposed of by a license garbage hauler serving the Saint Anthony Village area. As a manufactured home/ RV park community, the site currently generates mixed municipal waste. The proposed project will increase the amount of units and the amount of waste generated is expected to increase. Saint Anthony Village encourages recycling and all license garbage haulers serving the Saint Anthony Village area offer recycling options for their subscribers. c. Project related use/storage of hazardous materials - Describe chemicals/hazardous materials used/stored during construction and/or operation of the project including method of storage. Indicate the number, location and size of any above or below ground tanks to store petroleum or other materials. Discuss potential environmental effects from accidental spill or release of hazardous materials. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the use/storage of chemicals/hazardous materials including source reduction and recycling. Include development of a spill prevention plan. During construction, some hazardous materials typical of a construction site (e.g. fuel oil) will be stored in approved containers. As required by the NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit, the fuel containers will be required to have secondary containment by either being bermed or stored in a truck or other facility. Fuel trucks and any other hazardous materials are required to be locked when not in use to avoid vandalism. 50 page 16 d. Project related generation/storage of hazardous wastes - Describe hazardous wastes generated/stored during construction and/or operation of the project. Indicate method of disposal. Discuss potential environmental effects from hazardous waste handling, storage, and disposal. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the generation/storage of hazardous waste including source reduction and recycling. No hazardous wastes are anticipated to be generated by the operation of the residential project. 13. Fish, wildlife, plant communities, and sensitive ecological resources (rare features): a. Describe fish and wildlife resources as well as habitats and vegetation on or in near the site. The project area is currently a manufactured home community made up of manufactured homes and paved roadways. The project area has some larger trees and lawns. There are no natural habitats present in the project area. Any wildlife present in the project area would be species typical of a disturbed urban area, such as raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, and some birds (e.g., crows). b. Describe rare features such as state-listed (endangered, threatened or special concern) species, native plant communities, Minnesota County Biological Survey Sites of Biodiversity Significance, and other sensitive ecological resources on or within close proximity to the site. Provide the license agreement number (LA-____) and/or correspondence number (ERDB 20170131) from which the data were obtained and attach the Natural Heritage letter from the DNR. Indicate if any additional habitat or species survey work has been conducted within the site and describe the results. A NHIS review request was submitted to the DNR. The NHIS review found no known occurrences of rare features within 1 mile of the project area. Correspondence is attached in Appendix B. c. Discuss how the identified fish, wildlife, plant communities, rare features and ecosystems may be affected by the project. Include a discussion on introduction and spread of invasive species from the project construction and operation. Separately discuss effects to known threatened and endangered species. The project area is currently a manufactured home community and does not contain wildlife habitat. Any wildlife currently utilizing the project area would be typical of a disturbed urban area, such as raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, and some birds (e.g., crows). The project area is surrounded by other disturbed urban areas and any wildlife present could move to the surrounding areas. It is unlikely that wildlife will be affected by the project. d. Identify measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to fish, wildlife, plant communities, and sensitive ecological resources. Because of the current land use at the project area (urban developed), adverse impacts to wildlife are not anticipated with this project. Erosion control measures (e.g., silt fence, erosion control blanket) will be installed during construction to minimize impacts to downstream water resources. Following construction, landscaped areas may provide habitat for wildlife typical of urban areas. 51 page 17 14. Historic properties: Describe any historic structures, archeological sites, and/or traditional cultural properties on or in close proximity to the site. Include: 1) historic designations, 2) known artifact areas, and 3) architectural features. Attach letter received from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Discuss any anticipated effects to historic properties during project construction and operation. Identify measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to historic properties. A SHPO review was requested, and the results of the review are attached in Appendix B. There are two historic structures and one historic district in proximity to the project area (Figure 16). The St. Charles Borromeo Church and School is identified in the SHPO database as a potential historic structure. This property is located north of the project area. The property is outside of the project limits and the project will have no effects on the church or school. The Sunset Funeral Home and Mausoleum is identified in the SHPO database as a potential historic structure. The funeral home and mausoleum building is located southeast of the project area on the west edge of the Hillside Cemetery property. The property is outside of the project limits and the project will have no effect on the structure. Stinson Parkway runs along the west side of the project area. Stinson Parkway is part of the Grand Rounds Historical District which has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The application for listing is currently being reviewed by the National Register staff. Although the project will be visible from Stinson Parkway, the project has attempted to minimize visual impacts through site design. The site design for the project places the townhomes along the parkway and the taller buildings behind the townhomes and further away from the parkway. In the adjacent area, medium density residential homes border Stinson Parkway. The townhomes will have the same visual effect as the existing residential homes and for this reason the project will not change the feel of the parkway. There will be no physical changes to Stinson Parkway as part of this project. 15. Visual: Describe any scenic views or vistas on or near the project site. Describe any project related visual effects such as vapor plumes or glare from intense lights. Discuss the potential visual effects from the project. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate visual effects. There are no scenic views or vistas on or near the project area. Some of the upper floors of the buildings adjacent to the project area have views of the Mississippi River, I-35W bridge over the Mississippi River, and downtown Minneapolis. The project could block some of these views, depending on the site layout. However, the proposed development, with a mixture of one and two story townhomes and multi-unit buildings (tallest proposed at 5 stories) is comparable to the heights of buildings in adjacent developments. The project will not produce vapor plumes. Lighting within the project area will be consistent with the surrounding areas and will not produce glare from intense lights. 52 page 18 16. Air: a. Stationary source emissions - Describe the type, sources, quantities and compositions of any emissions from stationary sources such as boilers or exhaust stacks. Include any hazardous air pollutants, criteria pollutants, and any greenhouse gases. Discuss effects to air quality including any sensitive receptors, human health or applicable regulatory criteria. Include a discussion of any methods used assess the project’s effect on air quality and the results of that assessment. Identify pollution control equipment and other measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects from stationary source emissions. No stationary source emissions are proposed as part of the proposed redevelopment. b. Vehicle emissions - Describe the effect of the project’s traffic generation on air emissions. Discuss the project’s vehicle-related emissions effect on air quality. Identify measures (e.g. traffic operational improvements, diesel idling minimization plan) that will be taken to minimize or mitigate vehicle-related emissions. The EPA has identified a group of 93 compounds emitted from mobile sources that are listed in their Integrated Risk Information System. In addition, the EPA identified seven compounds with significant contributions from mobile sources that are among the national and regional-scale cancer risk drivers. These are acrolein, benzene, 1, 3-butadiene, diesel particulate matter, plus diesel exhaust organic gases (diesel PM), formaldehyde, naphthalene, and polycyclic organic matter. While Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) considers these the priority mobile source air toxics, the list is subject to change and may be adjusted in consideration of future EPA rules. EPA rule requires controls that will dramatically decrease Mobile Source Air Toxins (MSAT) emissions through cleaner fuels and cleaner engines. According to an FHWA analysis using EPA's MOBILE6.2 model, even if vehicle activity increases as assumed, a combined reduction of 72 percent in the total annual emission rate for the priority MSAT is projected from 1999 to 2050. Air toxics analysis is a continuing area of research. While much work has been done to assess the overall health risk of air toxics, many questions remain unanswered. In particular, the tools and techniques for assessing project-specific health outcomes as a result of lifetime MSAT exposure remain limited. These limitations impede the ability to evaluate how the potential health risks posed by MSAT exposure should be factored into project-level decision-making within the context of the National Environmental Policy Act. The FHWA will continue to monitor the developing research in this emerging field. Because of the uncertainties outlined above, a quantitative assessment of the effects of air toxic emissions impacts on human health cannot be made at the project level. While available tools do allow us to reasonably predict relative emissions changes between alternatives for larger projects, the amount of MSAT emissions from each of the study scenarios and MSAT concentrations or exposures created by each of the study scenarios cannot be predicted with enough accuracy to be useful in estimating health impacts. Therefore, it is not possible to make a determination of whether any of the scenarios would have "significant adverse impacts on the human environment." 53 page 19 This document acknowledges that the build scenarios may result in increased exposure to MSAT emissions in certain locations, although the concentrations and duration of exposures are uncertain, and because of this uncertainty, the health effects from these emissions cannot be estimated. Although a qualitative analysis cannot identify and measure health impacts from MSATs, it can give a basis for identifying and comparing the potential differences among MSAT emissions, if any, from the various scenarios. The qualitative assessment presented below is derived in part from a study conducted by the FHWA entitled A Methodology for Evaluating Mobile Source Air Toxic Emissions among Transportation Project Alternatives. For this EAW, the amount of MSAT emitted would be proportional to the average daily traffic (ADT). The ADT estimated for the proposed site redevelopment is higher than that for the no build condition, because the project involves new development that produces additional trips. This increase in ADT means MSAT under the build scenarios would probably be higher than the no build condition in the study area. There could also be localized differences in MSAT from indirect effects of the project such as associated access traffic, emissions of evaporative MSAT (e.g., benzene) from parked cars, and emissions of diesel particulate matter from delivery trucks. Travel to other destinations would be reduced with subsequent decreases in emissions at those locations. For the proposed site redevelopment, emissions are virtually certain to be lower than present levels in the design year as a result of EPA's national control programs that are projected to reduce annual MSAT emissions by 72 percent from 1999 to 2050, as shown in the following graph. The magnitude of the EPA-projected reductions is so great (even after accounting for ADT growth) that MSAT emissions in the study area are likely to be lower in the future than they are today. 54 page 20 NATIONAL MSAT EMISSION TRENDS 1999 - 2050 FOR VEHICLES OPERATING ON ROADWAYS USING EPA's MOBILE6.2 MODEL Note: (1) Annual emissions of polycyclic organic matter are projected to be 561 tons/yr for 1999, decreasing to 373 tons/yr for 2050. (2) Trends for specific locations may be different, depending on locally derived information representing vehicle-miles travelled, vehicle speeds, vehicle mix, fuels, emission control programs, meteorology, and other factors Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. MOBILE6.2 Model run 20 August 2009. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has designated all of Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka and portions of Carver, Scott, Dakota, Washington and Wright Counties as a maintenance area for carbon monoxide. The EAW study area is in Hennepin County that is in this carbon monoxide maintenance area. The EPA has approved a screening method to determine which intersections need a hotspot analysis. A hot spot analysis is required if the intersection is above the benchmark average annual daily traffic (AADT) threshold or listed as one of the "Top Ten" intersections. All of the top ten intersections are within the Twin Cities carbon monoxide maintenance area. Below is a list of the top ten intersections and their 2007 AADT. 1. TH 169 at CSAH 81 – 79,400 2. TH 7 at CSAH 101 – 66,600 3. TH 252 at 85th Avenue – 66,800 4. University Avenue at Snelling Avenue – 59,700 5. TH 252 at Brookdale Drive – 61,300 6. Cedar Avenue at County Road 42 – 75,100 7. TH 7 at Williston Road – 54,900 8. University Avenue at Lexington Avenue – 59,700 9. TH 252 at 66th Avenue – 72,500 10. Hennepin Avenue at Lake Street – 37,000 55 page 21 The screening method demonstrates that because this project has less than the benchmark AADT of 79,400 and does not involve or affect the "Top Ten Intersections," a hotspot analysis is not needed. In summary, it is expected there will be slightly higher MSAT emissions in the study area with the project relative to the no build condition due to increased ADT. There also could be increases in MSAT levels in a few localized areas where ADT increases. However, the EPA's vehicle and fuel regulations will bring about significantly lower MSAT levels for the area in the future when compared to today. c. Dust and odors - Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of dust and odors generated during project construction and operation. (Fugitive dust may be discussed under item 16a). Discuss the effect of dust and odors in the vicinity of the project including nearby sensitive receptors and quality of life. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate the effects of dust and odors. During construction, particulate emissions will temporarily increase due to generation of fugitive dust. The nearest and most sensitive receptors to the construction activity are the residential properties that immediately surround the property. Construction dust control is required to be in conformance with City of Saint Anthony Village’s ordinances and the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit. The construction and operation of the proposed site redevelopment is not anticipated to involve processes that would generate odors. 17. Noise Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of noise generated during project construction and operation. Discuss the effect of noise in the vicinity of the project including 1) existing noise levels/sources in the area, 2) nearby sensitive receptors, 3) conformance to state noise standards, and 4) quality of life. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate the effects of noise. The existing site is located within a suburban area and is surrounded by low density residential, high- density residential and commercial uses. Existing noise sources are those typical of suburban residential/commercial areas and consist mainly of traffic on the area roadways, which include Kenzie Terrace, Stinson Parkway, St Anthony Boulevard and surrounding residential streets. The nearest sensitive receptors are the existing single family residential units north and west of the site. Construction noise levels and types typical of construction equipment will occur as a result of this project. Construction noise will be limited to daytime hours consistent with the City of St Anthony Village’s construction and noise ordinances (7 am to 10 pm on weekdays, 9 am to 9 pm on weekends and holidays). Construction equipment will be fitted with mufflers that would be maintained throughout the construction process. Table 7 below summarizes the peak noise levels of common types of roadway construction equipment. 56 page 22 Table 7: Typical Roadway Construction Equipment Noise Levels at 50 Feet Equipment Type Manufacturers Sampled Total Number of Models in Sample Peak Noise Level Range Average Backhoe 5 6 74-92 83 Front Loader 5 30 75-96 85 Dozer 8 41 65-95 85 Grader 3 15 72-92 84 Scraper 2 27 76-98 87 Pile Driver N/A N/A 95-105 101 Source: United States Environmental Protection Agency and Federal Highway Administration 18. Transportation a. Describe traffic-related aspects of project construction and operation. Include: 1) existing and proposed additional parking spaces, 2) estimated total average daily traffic generated, 3) estimated maximum peak hour traffic generated and time of occurrence, 4) indicate source of trip generation rates used in the estimates, and 5) availability of transit and/or other alternative transportation modes. The proposed project will involve the redevelopment of an existing 15-acre manufactured home community with 98 manufactured homes and approximately 95 RV sites, into a combination of multi-family residential units (townhomes and apartments). The site is located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) and NE Stinson Parkway. The project is proposed to include approximately 837 units. Five multi-unit apartment buildings will be constructed as part of the redevelopment. The total number of units within the apartment building will be approximately 800 units. Approximately 37, 2- to 3-story townhome units will also be constructed. Figure 4 shows the project location and proposed site plan. The estimated trip generation from the proposed site development project is shown below in Table 8. The trip generation used to estimate the proposed site traffic is also based on rates for other similar land uses as documented in the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. The table shows the daily, AM peak hour, PM peak hour and PM peak hour of generator trip generation for the proposed site development.

A bikeway is located on Saint Anthony Blvd west of Stinson Avenue. b. Discuss the effect on traffic congestion on affected roads and describe any traffic improvements necessary. The analysis must discuss the project’s impact on the regional transportation system. If the peak hour traffic generated exceeds 250 vehicles or the total daily trips exceeds 2,500, a traffic impact study must be prepared as part of the EAW. Use the format and procedures described in the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Access Management Manual, Chapter 5 (available at: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/accessmanagement/resources.html) or a similar local guidance, A Traffic Impact Study was completed for the proposed Village, LLC site development. This Study provides a comprehensive look at anticipated traffic impacts for the regional area, including the area identified with this EAW. The Traffic Study evaluated conditions for the years 2016 (existing), 2022 (proposed) and 2030 (proposed). Based on the analysis four intersections were identified with capacity or vehicle queueing impacts associated with the development of the proposed site. These intersections include: 1. St Anthony Blvd at New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) 2. St Anthony Blvd at Silver Lake Blvd/Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) 3. Kenzie Terrace (CR 153)/NE Lowry Ave at NE Stinson Parkway 4. Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) at Proposed Site Access/Wilson Street The Traffic Impact Study was completed for this project and is included in Appendix D. Necessary traffic improvements are discussed within the Traffic Impact Study and are also summarized in the section below. c. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate project related transportation effects. Based on the analysis mitigation improvements were recommended for 2018 with the proposed development and by 2030 as the area develops. These recommendations include: 1. 2018 with The Village, LLC Development:  Optimize the signal time and coordination between the St Anthony Blvd intersections at New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) and Silver Lake Blvd/Kenzie Terrance (CR 153).  Lengthen the northwest bound left turn lane from St Anthony Blvd to southbound New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) from 125 feet to 200 feet.  Lengthen the northeast bound right turn lane from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) to southeast St Anthony Blvd from 170 feet to 200 feet. 58 page 24  Lengthen the southwest bound left turn from Silver Lake Road (CR 136) to southeast St Anthony Blvd from 100 feet to 175 feet.  Lengthen the westbound left turn from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) to southbound NE Stinson Parkway (CR 27) by shortening or removing the existing left turn lane from Kenzie Terrace to the Bremer Bank Building.  Lengthen the northbound left turn from NE Stinson Parkway to westbound NE Lowry Ave from 150 feet to 300 feet.  At the proposed site driveway at Wilson St on Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) provide: o Two lanes exiting the site (one left turn and one through/right lane) o Left turn lane from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) into the site o Right turn lane from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) into the site 2. 2030 with Future Area Development:  Consider a dual roundabout or other intersection control improvements for the St Anthony Blvd intersections at New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) and Silver Lake Blvd/Kenzie Terrance (CR 153).  Consider a roundabout or other intersection control improvements at the intersection of Kenzie Terrace (CR 153)/NE Lowry Ave at NE Stinson Parkway. The Traffic Impact Study is included in Appendix D. 19. Cumulative potential effects: (Preparers can leave this item blank if cumulative potential effects are addressed under the applicable EAW Items) a. Describe the geographic scales and timeframes of the project related environmental effects that could combine with other environmental effects resulting in cumulative potential effects. The proposed project will involve redevelopment of the 15-acre project area. Project-related impacts will include soil disturbance, building removal, vegetation removal, and the addition of impervious surface, stormwater, sanitary, and traffic. The project area will also need to be rezoned from Single Family Residential to Planned Unit Development/Multi-Family Residential. Soil disturbance: The project will involve soil disturbance. An NPDES permit will be required and erosion control BMPs will need to be in place throughout construction. Building removal: The project will involve demolition of buildings. The buildings will need to be inspected for regulated materials prior to demolition. If regulated materials are found they will need to be handled and disposed of in accordance with state and local regulations. Vegetation removal: Vegetation removal will occur as part of this project. The vegetation present does not provide critical habitat for wildlife. Following construction, it is expected that a landscaping plan will include tree and other landscape plantings that will provide habitat similar to what currently exists. 59 page 25 Impervious surface and stormwater: The project will increase the impervious surface within the project area and, as a result, stormwater runoff. The project will need to provide volume and rate control that does not exceed the existing conditions. Sanitary and Water: The existing sanitary sewer system is capable of handling the additional units, but the project will likely need to construct a lift station with two pumps (one for redundancy) with a capacity of 600 gpm through a 10” inner diameter forcemain. The existing water supply system will be inadequate to provide the minimum fire flow rate under proposed conditions. Upsizing the City’s existing trunk main may be required to provide the development with the required 3,500 gpm fire flow rate. Traffic: The project will increase traffic in the area and four intersections will experience increased queue length as a result of the project. Several mitigation measures were recommended that will address the increased traffic, and are included in Section 18c above, and in the Traffic Impact Study in Appendix D. The project is expected to begin in summer 2017. Construction will be phased and is expected to be completed by 2022. Mitigation measures to address the impacts resulting from the project will be put in place within the same timeframe. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the impacts will combine to create a cumulative potential effect. b. Describe any reasonably foreseeable future projects (for which a basis of expectation has been laid) that may interact with environmental effects of the proposed project within the geographic scales and timeframes identified above. The area surrounding the project area is fully developed. No reasonably foreseeable future projects that would combine with the impacts described in this EAW to create cumulative impacts exist. c. Discuss the nature of the cumulative potential effects and summarize any other available information relevant to determining whether there is potential for significant environmental effects due to these cumulative effects. No cumulative potential impacts are expected. 20. Other potential environmental effects: If the project may cause any additional environmental effects not addressed by items 1 to 19, describe the effects here, discuss the how the environment will be affected, and identify measures that will be taken to minimize and mitigate these effects. No additional environmental effects have been identified or are anticipated. 60 page 26 RGU CERTIFICATION.

Based on this query, there are no known occurrences of rare features in the area searched. The Natural Heritage Information System (NHIS), a collection of databases that contains information about Minnesota’s rare natural features, is maintained by the Division of Ecological and Water Resources, Department of Natural Resources. The NHIS is continually updated as new information becomes available, and is the most complete source of data on Minnesota's rare or otherwise significant species, native plant communities, and other natural features. However, the NHIS is not an exhaustive inventory and thus does not represent all of the occurrences of rare features within the state. Therefore, ecologically significant features for which we have no records may exist within the project area. If additional information becomes available regarding rare features in the vicinity of the project, further review may be necessary. For environmental review purposes, the results of this Natural Heritage Review are valid for one year; the results are only valid for the project location (noted above) and the project description provided on the NHIS Data Request Form. Please contact me if project details change or for an updated review if construction has not occurred within one year. The Natural Heritage Review does not constitute review or approval by the Department of Natural Resources as a whole. Instead, it identifies issues regarding known occurrences of rare features and potential effects to these rare features. To determine whether there are other natural resource concerns associated with the proposed project, please contact your DNR Regional Environmental Assessment Ecologist (contact information available at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/eco/ereview/erp_regioncontacts.html). Please be aware that additional site assessments or review may be required.

This message simply reports the results of the cultural resources database search you requested. The database search produced results for only previously known archaeological sites and historic properties. Please read the note below carefully. No archaeological sites were identified in a search of the Minnesota Archaeological Inventory and Historic Structures Inventory for the search area requested. A report containing the history/architecture properties identified is attached. The result of this database search provides a listing of recorded archaeological sites and historic architectural properties that are included in the current SHPO databases. Because the majority of archaeological sites in the state and many historic architectural properties have not been recorded, important sites or structures may exist within the search area and may be affected by development projects within that area. Additional research, including field survey, may be necessary to adequately assess the area’s potential to contain historic properties. Properties that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or have been determined eligible for listing in the NRHP are indicated on the reports you have received. The following codes on the reports you received are: NR – National Register listed. The properties may be individually listed or may be within the boundaries of a National Register District. CEF – Certified Eligible to the National Register findings are usually made during the federal review process, these properties have been evaluated as being eligible for listing in the National Register. SEF – Staff eligible findings to the National Register are properties that have been determined eligible by SHPO staff. DOE – Determination of Eligibility is made by the National Park Service and typically refers to properties deemed eligible but the owner objects to the listing. 79 CNEF – Certified Not Eligible to the National Register. SHPO has begun to record properties that have been evaluated as not eligible for listing in the National Register. If the box on the form has a check the property has been determined to be not eligible. Properties without NR, CEF, SEF, DOE, or CNEF designations in the reports you received may not have been evaluated and therefore no assumption to their eligibility can be made. If you require a comprehensive assessment of a project’s potential to impact archaeological sites or historic architectural properties, you may need to hire a qualified archaeologist and/or historian. If you need assistance with a project review, please contact Kelly Gragg-Johnson in Review and Compliance @ 651-259-3455 or by email at kelly.graggjohnson@mnhs.org. The Minnesota SHPO Survey Manuals and Database Metadata can be found at http://www.mnhs.org/shpo/survey/inventories.htm SHPO research hours are 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM Tuesday-Friday.

The site is located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) and NE Stinson Parkway in the City of St Anthony. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the proposed project location and project area. The proposed Village LLC development is anticipated to consist of a combination of multi- family residential units (townhomes and apartments). The project is proposed to include five, 3 to 5 story multi-unit buildings with a mix of apartments, senior living, and continuing care uses consisting of approximately 800 units. In addition, the project will include approximately 37, 2- to 3-story townhome units. The proposed site plan is shown on Figure 3. The transportation impacts of the existing and proposed traffic conditions were evaluated at the following intersections:  St Anthony Blvd at NE Stinson Pkwy  St Anthony Blvd at Silver Lake Blvd (CR 136) / Kenzie Terrace (CR 153)  St Anthony Blvd at New Brighton Blvd (CR 88)  NE Stinson Pkwy at 27th Avenue  NE Stinson Pkwy at 26th Avenue  NE Stinson Pkwy at Lowry Ave / Kenzie Terrace (CR 153)  Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) at Lowry Grove Entrance  Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) at Wilson Street  Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) at Autumn Woods/Kenzington Apartments The Traffic Engineering Review and Analysis in this Study was conducted to determine the impacts the site would have on the area traffic operations, lane geometry/traffic control and access. The following sections of this report outline the findings of this study including:  Documentation of existing traffic conditions in the area, and;  Projecting future traffic for the proposed development, and;  Determining lane configuration needs at the primary driveways and intersections in the area, and;  Developing conclusions and recommendations with respect to the existing and future roadway needs and configurations at area intersections and/or roadways. 100 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 2 101 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 3 102 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 4 103 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 5 EXISTING CONDITIONS A. Land Use The existing land use in the study area consists primarily of single family and multi-family residential, office commercial and retail uses. B. Roadway Characteristics Stinson Parkway is a north/south “A” Minor Arterial extending from 40th Avenue on the north, in Columbia Heights to E Hennepin Avenue in the City of Minneapolis. Stinson Parkway south of St Anthony Blvd, adjacent to the proposed site is a Minneapolis Park Board street and has a typical 95 foot urban cross section with one lane in each direction, a parking bay and a raised grass median. Traffic signal control is provided at the Lowry Ave/Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) intersection. All other intersections are Stop Sign controlled. A 25mph speed limit is posted on Stinson Parkway south of St Anthony Blvd. Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) is a east/west “B” Minor Arterial extending from where it changes to Lowry Avenue at Stinson Parkway to where it changes to Silver Lake Road at St Anthony Parkway. Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) has a primary 64 foot two-lane urban cross section with a center left turn lane and a raised concrete median. It provides access to the multi-family apartments and businesses adjacent to the roadway with median breaks at several driveways. Traffic signal control is provided at the Stinson Parkway, Autumn Woods/Kenzington Apartments and St Anthony Blvd intersections. All other intersections are Stop Sign controlled. Signed and marked pedestrian crossings are provided at Stenson Parkway, at the Lowry Grove entrance, at Autumn Woods/Kenzington Apartments entrance, at 27th Avenue and at St Anthony Blvd. A 30mph speed limit is posted on Kenzie Terrace (CR 153). The lane configurations at each of the study area intersections are as follows: St Anthony Blvd at NE Stinson Pkwy – All Way Stop Control NB Stinson Pkwy – one left/through/right, one parking lane SB Stinson Pkwy – one left/through/right, one parking lane WB St Anthony Blvd – one left/through/right EB St Anthony Blvd – one left/through/right St Anthony Blvd at Silver Lake Rd (CR 136) / Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) – Traffic Signal Control: NW St Anthony Blvd – one left, one through, one free right turn lane SE St Anthony Blvd – one left, one through/free right lane SW Silver Lake Rd – one left, one through, one through/free right turn lane NE Kenzie Terrace – one left, two through, one right 104 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 6 St Anthony Blvd at New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) – Traffic Signal Control: NW St Anthony Blvd – one left, one through, one right SE St Anthony Blvd – one left, one through, one free right SW New Brighton Blvd – one left, two through, one right NE New Brighton Blvd – one left, two through, one free right NE Stinson Pkwy at 27th Avenue – All Way Stop Control: NB Stinson Pkwy – one left/through/right SB Stinson Pkwy – one left/through/right WB 27th Avenue – one left/through/right EB 27th Avenue – one left/through/right NE Stinson Pkwy at 26th Avenue – Side Street Stop Control: NB Stinson Pkwy – one left/through/right SB Stinson Pkwy – one left/through/right WB 26th Avenue – one left/through/right EB 26th Avenue – one left/through/right NE Stinson Pkwy at Lowry Ave / Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) – Traffic Signal Control: NB Stinson Pkwy – one left, one through/right SB Stinson Pkwy – one left, one through/right WB Kenzie Terrace – one left, one through, one right EB Lowry Ave – one left/through, one right Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) at Lowry Grove Entrance – Side Street Stop Control: SB Lowry Grove Entrance – one left/through/right WB Kenzie Terrace – one left/through, one through/right EB Kenzie Terrace – one left, one through/right Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) at Wilson Street – Side Street Stop Control: NB Wilson Street – one left/through/right WB Kenzie Terrace – one left, one through, one through/right EB Kenzie Terrace – one left/through, one through/right Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) at Autumn Woods/Kenzington Apartments – Traffic Signal Control: NB Autumn Woods – one left/through/right SB Kenzington Apts – one left/through/right WB Kenzie Terrace – one left, one through, one through/right EB Kenzie Terrace – one left, one through, one through/right The existing roadway geometrics including the intersection traffic control, is shown on Figure 4 and Figure 5. 105 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 7 C. Traffic Volumes AM and PM peak hour turning movements and daily counts were conducted during the week of October 10th, 2016. These counts were used as the existing baseline conditions for the area. Figure 4 and Figure 5 shows the existing intersections that were analyzed as part of this, with the existing 2016 AM and PM peak hour and traffic volumes. D. Crash Data The crash data included with this study was obtained using the Minnesota Crash Mapping Analysis Tool (MnCMAT) developed by MnDOT. The database includes crashes reported to MnDOT by local law enforcement agencies. The crash data presented are for the years of 2013-2015. The MnCMAT database does not provide access to the original handwritten crash reports which contain some details that are not represented in the MnCMAT database. Crashes that resulted in damages under $1000 may not be included in the database results as well. The results indicate that the intersections of St Anthony Blvd at New Brighton Blvd, Stinson Blvd at 27th Street and Stinson Blvd at 26th Street have calculated accident and/or severity rates above the MnDOT Metro and Statewide averages. A summary of the existing crash data is shown in Table 1.

Projected 2018 and 2030 traffic volumes were determined based on proposed anticipated future development land use in the area and the City’s current Transportation Plan. The following sections outline the traffic generation from the study area, as well as the traffic distribution and projected traffic volumes. A. Traffic Generation Traffic growth in the vicinity of a proposed site will occur between existing conditions and any given future year due to other development within the region. This background growth must be accounted for and included in future year traffic forecasts. Reviewing the historical traffic counts in the area, traffic has stayed somewhat constant or dropped in the past few years. However, in order to account for some background growth in traffic the Metropolitan Travel Demand model projection factor of 0.15% per year was used to project traffic from the 2016 counts to the 2018 and 2030 analysis years. The estimated trip generation from the proposed Lowry Grove Development project is shown in Table 2. The trip generation used to estimate the proposed site traffic is also based on rates for other similar land uses as documented in the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. The table shows the weekday AM and PM peak hour trip generation for the proposed development.

Traffic Distribution Area generated trips were distributed to the adjacent roadway system based on several factors including:  Previous traffic and transportation studies in the area.  Anticipated origins and destinations for specific land use (i.e. location of commercial uses in relationship to residential).  Existing travel patterns and future roadway connections. Based on these parameters the following general traffic distribution was used to distribute the projected traffic volumes in the study area:  5% to/from the north on Stinson Blvd (CR 27)  4% to/from north on Silver Lake Rd (CR 136)  5% to/from northeast on New Brighton Blvd (CR 88)  5% to/from southeast on St Anthony Blvd  20% to/from southwest on New Brighton Blvd (CR 88)  50% to/from south on Stinson Blvd  6% to/from west on Lowry Ave  1% to/from west on 26th Ave  1% to/from west on 27th Ave  3% to/from west on St Anthony Blvd C. Projected Traffic Volumes Traffic forecasts were prepared for the year 2018 which is the year after the initial phase the proposed development is anticipated to be completed and for the 2030 conditions the Comprehensive Plan year which represents the full development of the area. The traffic forecasts were prepared by adding the projected annual background traffic growth and the projected non-development traffic growth to the existing 2016 traffic counts to determine the “No-Build” traffic conditions. It was determined that with the minimal increase in background traffic the 2018 no- build condition would be similar to the existing 2016 conditions , therefore it was not included in the analysis. The proposed development traffic was then added to the no-build traffic conditions to determine the 2018 and 2030 Build traffic conditions. As a worst case condition it was assumed that the entire site would be developed in for the 2018 build condition. Figures 6 - 11 show the projected 2030 no-build, 2018 build and 2030 Build AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes. 110 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 12 111 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 13 112 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 14 113 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 15 114 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 16 115 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 17 116 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 18 TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS Existing and/or forecasted traffic operations were evaluated for the intersections and driveway in the study area. The analysis was conducted for the following scenarios: 1. Existing 2016 2. Projected 2018 Build 3. Projected 2030 No-Build 4. Projected 2030 Build This section describes the methodology used to assess the operations and provides a summary of traffic operations for each scenario. A. Methodology The intersections in the corridor were evaluated during the AM and PM peak hours using Synchro/SimTraffic micro simulation software. The results are derived from established methodologies documented in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010. The software was used to evaluate the characteristics of the roadway network including lane geometrics, turning movement volumes, traffic control and signal timing. In addition, the signal timing parameters for future year conditions were optimized using Synchro. This information was then transferred to SimTraffic (the traffic simulation model) to estimate average peak hour vehicle delays and queues. One of the primary measures of effectiveness used to evaluate intersection traffic operations, as defined in the HCM, is Level of Service (LOS) – a qualitative letter grade, A – F, based on seconds of vehicle delay due to a traffic control device at an intersection. By definition, LOS A conditions represent high quality operations (i.e., motorists experience very little delay or interference) and LOS F conditions represent very poor operations (i.e., extreme delay or severe congestion). Figure 12 depicts a graphical interpretation of delay times that define level of service. The delay thresholds are lower for un-signalized intersections than signalized intersections due to the public’s perception of acceptable delays for different traffic controls as indicated in the HCM. In accordance with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) guidelines, this analysis used the LOS D/E boundary as an indicator of acceptable traffic operations. 117 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 19 Figure 12: Level of Service Ranges for Signalized and Un-signalized Intersections Existing Level of Service Summary Table 3 - 2016 Existing Conditions shown below, summarizes the existing LOS at the primary intersections and driveways in the study area assuming the current lane geometry, traffic control and 2016 traffic volumes.

The analysis was conducted using the SimTraffic simulation software. The results found that during both the weekday AM and PM peak hours in 2018 and 2030 several movements were identified that would exceed turn lane storage. These include the following movements:  Southwest bound Silver Lake Road left turn to St Anthony Blvd will back up past existing turn storage length.  Northeast bound Kenzie Terrace right turn to St Anthony Blvd will back up past the existing right storage length.  Northwest bound St Anthony Blvd right turn and left turn to New Brighton Blvd will back up past the existing lane storage length.  North bound Stinson Parkway left turn to Lowry Ave will back up past the existing turn lane storage length.  West bound Lowry Avenue left turn to Stinson Parkway will back up past the existing turn lane storage length.  East bound Kenzie Terrace right turn to Stinson Parkway will back up past the existing turn lane storage length. 122 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 24 CONCLUSIONS / RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the analysis documented in this Study, WSB has concluded the following:  The proposed Village LLC development is anticipated to consist of 837 units of multi-family residential units (townhomes and apartments). Access from the site will be through driveway connections to Stinson Blvd at 26th Street and to Kenzie Terrace at the existing Lowry Grove entrance. The development is anticipated to generate an additional 4,384 daily trips, 339 AM peak trips and 431 PM peak trips.  Existing traffic operations analysis shows that all intersection and driveways are operating at an overall LOS C or better during both the weekday AM and PM peak hours except the intersection of St Anthony Blvd at New Brighton Blvd which is operating at a LOS D during the PM Peak Hour. There will be some movements that will be operating at LOS D or LOS E.  Intersection traffic operations for the future 2030 no-build condition show that all intersection and driveways will operate at an overall LOS C or better during both the weekday AM and PM with the existing intersection geometrics and traffic control, except the intersection of St Anthony Blvd at New Brighton Blvd which is operating at a LOS D during the PM Peak Hour. With the increase in traffic, some movements will be operating at LOS D or LOS E.  Intersection traffic operations for the future build condition show that, assuming the addition of The Village LLC development traffic, all intersection and driveways will be operating at an overall LOS C or better in 2018 and 2030 during both the weekday AM and PM peak hours with the existing intersection geometrics and traffic control, except the intersection of St Anthony Blvd at New Brighton Blvd which is operating at a LOS D during the PM Peak Hour. With the increase in traffic, some movements will be operating at LOS D, LOS E or LOS F.  Based on the vehicle queuing analysis for the existing and future traffic conditions for weekday AM and PM peak hours several locations were identified that would exceed existing turn lane storage lengths.  The Traffic Study evaluated condition for the years 2016 (existing), 2018 and 2030. Based on the analysis four intersections were identified with capacity or vehicle queueing impacts associated with the development of the proposed site. These intersections include: 1. St Anthony Blvd at Kenzie Terrace/New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) 2. St Anthony Blvd at Silver Lake Rd(CR 136)/Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) 3. Kenzie Terrace (CR 153)/NE Lowry Ave at NE Stinson Parkway 4. Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) at Proposed Site Access/Wilson Street 123 THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 25 Based on the analysis mitigation improvements are recommended for 2018 with the proposed development and by 2030 as the area continues to develop. These recommendations include: 2018 with Lowry Grove Development: 1. Optimize the signal time and coordination between the St Anthony Blvd intersections at New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) and Silver Lake Rd (CR 136)/Kenzie Terrace (CR 153). 2. Lengthen the northwest bound left turn lane from St Anthony Blvd to southbound New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) from 125 feet to 200 feet. 3. Lengthen the northeast bound right turn lane from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) to southeast St Anthony Blvd from 170 feet to 200 feet. 4. Lengthen the southwest bound left turn from Silver Lake Rd (CR 136) to southeast St Anthony Blvd from 100 feet to 175 feet. 5. Lengthen the westbound left turn from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) to southbound NE Stinson Parkway by shortening or removing the existing left turn lane from Kenzie Terrace to the Bremer Bank Building. 6. Lengthen the northbound left turn from NE Stinson Parkway to westbound NE Lowry Ave from 150 feet to 300 feet. 7. At the proposed site driveway at Wilson St on Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) provide: a. Two lanes exiting the site (one left turn and one through/right lane) b. Left turn lane from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) into the site c. Right turn lane from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) into the site 2030 with Future Area Development: 1. Consider a dual roundabout or other traffic control improvements for the St Anthony Blvd intersections at New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) and Silver Lake Rd (CR 136)/Kenzie Terrance (CR 153). 2. Consider a roundabout or other traffic control improvements at the intersection of Kenzie Terrace (CR 153)/NE Lowry Ave at NE Stinson Parkway. 124 CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 17-025 A RESOLUTION ISSUING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF NEED FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE VILLAGE, LLC REDEVELOPMENT WHEREAS, pursuant to Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) Rules, Chapter 4410, part 4410.1000, Subpart 2, the City of Saint Anthony Village as the responsible governmental unit completed an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for The Village, LLC Redevelopment project; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Minnesota EQB Rules, Chapter 4410.4300 Subpart 19, the project meets the thresholds for an EAW for residential development; and WHEREAS, copies of the EAW were distributed to all persons and agencies on the official EQB mailing list prior to December 5, 2016; and WHEREAS, notice of the availability of the EAW for public review for a 30-day comment period was published in the EQB Monitor on December 5, 2016; and WHEREAS, a press release was published in the St Anthony Bulletin on December 7, 2016 to announce the availability of the EAW to interested parties; and WHEREAS, the 30-day comment period ended on January 4, 2017 and all comments received have been considered; and WHEREAS, the EAW, in conjunction with comment responses, identified permitting, mitigation, water quality improvements, and parking and intersection improvements that, if met, will address environmental effects caused as a result of the project.

February Water Rates: During 2016, the Utility Infrastructure capital fund was created and the Water Filtration Fund was closed. As part of this reorganizing the costs associated with carbon filtration of potable water became a water fund expense. These costs had previously been excluded from the calculation of water rates. Funds provided as part of the closing of the Water Filtration Fund allows for a phase-in of these costs into the water rates. With this added dynamic the Water Fund expenditures have been categorized by two primary operating functions. These functions are the production of potable water and the distribution of the potable water. Beyond the carbon filtration costs previously carried in the Water Filtration Fund, the Water Fund carried the treatment costs associated with iron removal and ground water pumping. These costs combined with carbon filtration costs and estimated advanced oxidation process costs equal the production costs. The labor costs associated with the maintenance of the distribution system, water billing and administrative support, along with other distribution operating costs equal distribution costs. Production costs are considered to be substantially driven by water usage while overall distribution costs were considered to be 24% related to usage. The remaining distribution costs correlate to common infrastructure maintenance needs and customer service. The balance of distribution costs are not impacted by usage. The table below summarizes the amount of water operating and depreciation expenses assigned as production costs or distribution costs. DISTRIBUTION COSTS 432,826 47% 106,956 60% 539,781 49% PRODUCTION COSTS 487,254 53% 72,672 40% 559,926 51% 920,079 100% 179,628 100% 1,099,707 100% DEPRECIATION OPERATING OVERALL 127 The first order of business in the multi-year rate adjustment approach which began in 2012 was annually increasing rates until revenues covered operating costs and the cash balances were restored to a positive balance. This was achieved by 2015 and in 2016 budgeted rates were increased sufficiently to produce a small transfer to the general capital improvement fund to help support utility equipment needs. The reorganization of 2017 water operations has added more water production costs to be supported by rates. At this juncture, there is the opportunity to align revenue sources with corresponding costs. Essentially this involves establishing a flat rate fee to cover the corresponding fixed costs. This allows the usage rate to be set at an amount to cover the usage driven expenses. This approach would provide: • Greater transparency as to the basis of rates. • An increased ability to maintain a structural balanced operation as the fund revenue would not be entirely subjected to swings in water usage (dry vs wet summers). • Provides for the elimination of the minimum charge, which residents with low water usage question in principle given tiered rates. In other words there will be a continuing incentive for water conservation at usage levels less than 7,500 gallons per quarter. • The flat rate fee would be computed based on the total fixed costs divided by the total the residential equivalent units (according to the Metropolitan Council formula) for all water accounts. • A single family home would represent one unit. Multi-family residential properties would have multipliers based on the number units. Commercial accounts will have multipliers based the residential equivalent units. The current recommendation is to modify the rate structure as follows: • Eliminate the use of a Minimum charge. • Phase-in a flat quarterly fee over time. • Usage rate growth decelerates as flat fee is phased-in. The recommended 2017 rates based upon these steps are below: 2016 2017 Per 1000 gallons Rates Rates $ Increase Water Tier I 3.10 3.10 0.00 Water Tier II 3.27 3.27 0.00 Water Tier III 3.59 3.59 0.00 Water Tier IV 4.12 4.12 0.00 Water Tier V 5.17 5.17 0.00 Irrigation 4.12 4.12 0.00 Qtr. Distribution system charge - 3.35 3.35 128 The recommendation’s impact on 2017 billings is reflected below: Sewer Rates: Within the Sewer fund there also exists two primary operating functions. These functions are the treatment of sanitary sewer flow and the collection system for sanitary sewer flow. The Sewer Fund expenditures have been categorized by collection system costs and the sanitary sewer treatment costs. Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) provides the sanitary sewer treatment process. The costs associated with the maintenance of the collection system, billing and administrative support make up the collection system costs. Treatment costs are considered to be substantially driven by flow volumes while overall collection costs were considered to be 21% related to usage. The remaining distribution costs correlate to common infrastructure maintenance needs and customer service. The balance of collection costs are not impacted by flow volumes. The table below summarizes the amounts of sewer operating expense and depreciation expense assigned as treatment costs or collection costs. Again at this juncture, there is the opportunity to align revenue sources with corresponding costs. Similarly, this involves establishing a flat rate fee to cover the Modified Structure 2017 Tier Rates 3.10 3.10 3.27 3.59 4.12 5.17 2017 Usage levels 4,600 7,500 15,000 22,500 30,000 37,500 Flat Fee 3.35 3.35 3.35 3.35 3.35 3.35 Usage Charge 14.26 23.25 49.05 80.78 123.60 193.88 2017 Billing 17.61 26.60 52.40 84.13 126.95 197.23 2016 Billing 23.25 23.25 49.05 80.78 123.60 193.88 DIFFERENCE (5.64) 3.35 3.35 3.35 3.35 3.35 % of Accounts within Tier 46% 16% 3%2%32% COLLECTION COSTS 366,519 35% 104,755 70% 471,274 40% TREATMENT COSTS 668,218 65% 44,895 30% 713,113 60% 1,034,737 100% 149,650 100% 1,184,387 100% OVERALLDEPRECIATION OPERATING 129 corresponding fixed costs. This allows the usage rate to be set at an amount to cover the usage driven expenses. This approach would provide: • Greater transparency as to the basis of rates. • An increased ability to maintain a structural balanced operation as the usage revenue could be matched to swings in sewer flows (dry vs wet summers) and MCES rate adjustments. • The flat rate fee would be computed based on the total fixed costs divided by the total the residential equivalent units (according to the Metropolitan Council formula) for all sewer accounts. • A single family home would represent one unit. Multi-family residential properties would have multipliers based on the number units. Commercial accounts will have multipliers based the residential equivalent units. In a review of the 2015 survey of Metro-area city’s sewer rate structures, like in the case of water rates, the use of rate structure that couples a usage rate with a flat fee or a minimum use charge was fairly common. The survey details are attached as Exhibit E. The tables below summarize the overall 2015 findings and estimated 2017 rates based on 4% increase in annual rates. The SAV billings in tables below are based on the existing vs proposed rate structure. The current recommendation is to modify the rate structure as follows: • Eliminate the use of a Minimum charge. • Phase-in a flat quarterly fee over time. • Usage rate growth decelerates as flat fee is phased-in. The recommended 2017 rates based upon these steps are below: The recommendation’s impact on 2017 billings is reflected below: 2016 2017 Per 1000 gallons Rates Rates $ Increase Sewer Usage rate 4.38 4.62 0.24 Qtr. Collection system charge - 3.20 3.20 130 Stormwater rates: The multi-year approach to Stormwater rates in place since 2012 called for an annual increase for single family residential (classifications 2 & 3) of thirty-five cent ($.35) increase. This represents a 2.37% increase in rate and would be expected to generate $4,570 in additional revenues (assuming no new construction). The 2.37% rate increase will be applied to all levels of stormwater charges.

Attached is a memo from the City Attorney as well as the draft ordinance. 143 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK 144 MEMORANDUM TO: Mark Casey City of St. Anthony FROM: Phil Steger DATE: January 11, 2017 RE: Predatory Offender Ordinances I. Background. In 2006, some local governments in Minnesota began to adopt ordinances restricting where individuals classified as predatory offenders under Minn. Stat. § 244.052 may reside. The first such ordinance was enacted by the City of Taylors Falls. Since then, approximately 33 municipalities and counties have enacted predatory offender ordinances, many of which appear to be based on the Taylors Falls ordinance. II. Typical Provisions. Findings and Intent. Many ordinances contain a findings section identifying predatory offenders as “an extreme threat to public safety,” who are “likely to use physical violence and to repeat their offenses,” and most of whom “commit many offenses.” Such ordinances also typically contain an intent statement declaring that it is the purpose of the ordinance to protect public safety. Prohibited Location of Residence. The ordinances seek to achieve their intent by prohibiting certain predatory offenders from temporarily or permanently residing within certain distances of locations where children are known to congregate regularly. The distances specified vary between 1,000 ft. and 2,000 ft. The ordinances also tend to vary in terms of how specific and extensive they are in detailing the locations. Most ordinances specify schools, licensed daycare facilities, and public playgrounds. Others add public school bus stops, and places of worship providing regular educations programs, such as Sunday schools. Some even include places where someone is “wearing a Santa Claus costume on or preceding Christmas” in the list of prohibited locations. Most contain the catchall: “any place where children are commonly known to regularly congregate.” Exceptions. The ordinances also generally contain certain exceptions, such as for classified predatory offenders who are already residing within the prohibited areas at the time of the first publication of the proposed ordinance. 145 2 Penalties. Violating a predatory offender ordinance is typically a misdemeanor, with each day a classified predatory offender resides in a prohibited area being a separate offense. III. General Legal Analysis To date, none of the Minnesota ordinances have faced legal challenge. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit upheld an Iowa state law similar to the Minnesota ordinances in 2005. There does not seem to be much research supporting the findings contained in many ordinances. Nor does there seem to be much research indicating the ordinances promote appreciable benefits to overall public safety. However, there appears to be at least anecdotal evidence that a predatory offender ordinance does have a deterrent effect on classified predatory offenders being relocated to the community it protects. An October 20, 2016 KSTP news article suggests the Minnesota Sex Offender Program “purposefully look[s] for cities without an ordinance that restricts were sex offenders can live” when it considers where to open a group home facility for released sex offenders. At least some political and legal opposition to a predatory offender ordinance can be expected. Minnesota does have a chapter of an organization called the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, which has opposed predatory offender ordinances and published papers referencing research by the Minnesota Department of Corrections and others that appear to refute the findings contained in many ordinances. The research cited suggests: there is no correlation between residency restrictions and sex offenses against children; residency restrictions can have a deleterious effect on the accuracy and completeness of the state sex offender registry; and there is a correlation between residence restrictions and the number of offenders who go unaccounted for. IV. Conclusion A predatory offender ordinance may serve the public safety purpose of deterring the relocation of released predatory offenders to it community it protects. Generally speaking, an ordinance that is less restrictive will be easier to defend in public and in court, especially in a state where some ordinances restrict classified predatory offenders from living within 2,000 ft. of places where people dress like Santa Claus on Christmas. Additionally, it may be prudent to omit from any ordinance findings not based on a reliable record. A proposed model ordinance based on these principles is attached. 146 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE STATE OF MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 2017-02 AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 132 PREDATORY OFFENDERS The City Council of the City of St. Anthony Village ordains as follows: Section One.

It is through this examination of past achievements and continuing initiatives that context is established for setting appropriate goals in 2017 and beyond. The Mayor and City Manager reviewed selected accomplishments and notable items from 2016 from all departments in the city. For example: You must understand and learn from your past to live your best now and be able to plan for your future. - Jerry Bruckner 2017 Strategic Plan • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota Enhancing Our Civility | 11 ENHANCING OUR CIVILITY Ken Morris, J.D. of the APERCU Group was invited to present on civility and inclusion, and how the City can ensure those concepts are permanently incorporated into how decisions are made. Among the many ideas discussed, below is a list of key guiding principles: LEADERSHIP DIVERSITY & INCLUSION PRINCIPLES • Operate from a position of knowledge & wisdom – seek understanding of those who are different • Understand the “seed” principle (any harvest or return is based entirely on what you sow) • Associate with wise counselors • Choose words wisely • Recognize “connections” with those who are different • Understand that people are interdependent • Seek balance in all things • Lead by serving the interests of those who follow • Manage yourself and others through Perceptual Reality (recognize the impact of perception on behaviors but focus on the facts) ROLE AS A LEADER Create & maintain an environment of inclusion for all members of the community by: • Building positive relationships with those who are different • Reconciling seemingly competing positions • Within yourself (workplace and personal positions) • Between colleagues/community members/guests to the Village • Staying informed about diversity & inclusion and communicating the impact on the institution/community • Recognizing when my cultural patterning influences interactions with others. • Seek opportunities to learn about difference by observing, reading & attending cultural events • Recognizing and acknowledging diverse celebrations • Focusing on the behavior not the difference of others • Challenging disrespectful behavior in others • Actively supporting, where appropriate and practicable, ways to make the institution/department/team more inclusive for a wide range of differences “Civility, in whatever form, is the natural consequence of doing the right things, at the right time, in the right way and for all the right reasons.” - Ken Morris, JD 2017 Strategic Plan • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota Long Term Vision/Priorities | 12 LONG TERM VISION/PRIORITIES Facilitator Bruce Miles presented the group with information intended to assist the group in forming a mindset on a long-term, strategic focus. Some of the ideas presented are below: WHY SHOULD ORGANIZATIONS PLAN? Bring clarity and agreement on mission and vision Agreement on mission (the organization’s purpose) is paramount. Defining a shared vision (the organization’s future direction) and then planning based on that desired outcome is the essence of strategic planning. Help organizations prepare for the future As the popular saying goes, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up someplace else.” A strategic plan outlines the steps to achieve a desired future for an organization. Help organizations anticipate and manage change Planning allows an organization to anticipate change and prepare for it. Planning also helps an organization deal with dramatic changes in its environment. In fact, by anticipating and planning for change, instead of just reacting to it, an organization can determine how to deal with change. Improve the decision-making processes With a strategic plan in place, day-to-day decision making and problem solving will be directly related to long-range and short-term goals. When choices are made within the context of a strategic framework, the organization’s direction is clearly defined. Strategic decision making and problem solving assure that the organization’s vision will be achieved. Promote effective stewardship Practicing good stewardship means being accountable to others. Because strategic planning helps organizations fulfill their missions, it also helps them be stewards of the public’s trust.
