Adelaide Landing Residential Development EAW, Hugo January 31, 2017 <br />Places (NRHP). Currently, effects to historic properties during project construction and operation <br />are not anticipated. <br />15. Visual <br />Describe any scenic views or vistas on or near the project site. Describe any project related visual <br />effects such as vapor plumes or glare from intense lights. Discuss the potential visual effects from the <br />project. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate visual effects. <br />There are no scenic views or vistas located on or near the property, and no non -routine impacts or visual <br />nuisances are anticipated. The proposed residential land use is consistent with other established uses in <br />the area, and therefore will not create a significant change in visual aesthetics. Measures to soften visual <br />transitions include providing buffers between existing and proposed homes, preservation of tree and <br />wetland cover where possible, developing a community park, and providing landscaping adjacent to <br />proposed collector and arterial streets and adjacent higher intensity land uses. <br />16. Air <br />a. Stationary source emissions - Describe the type, sources, quantities and compositions of any <br />emissions from stationary sources such as boilers or exhaust stacks. Include any hazardous air <br />pollutants, criteria pollutants, and any greenhouse gases. Discuss effects to air quality including any <br />sensitive receptors, human health or applicable regulatory criteria. Include a discussion of any <br />methods used assess the project's effect on air quality and the results of that assessment. Identify <br />pollution control equipment and other measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate <br />adverse effects from stationary source emissions. <br />Because development of heavy industrial facilities is not proposed, no stationary source air <br />emissions are anticipated as a result of this project. <br />b. Vehicle emissions -Describe the effect of the project's traffic generation on air emissions. Discuss <br />the project's vehicle -related emissions effect on air quality. Identify measures (e.g. traffic <br />operational improvements, diesel idling minimization plan) that will be taken to minimize or mitigate <br />vehicle -related emissions. <br />Increased traffic will generate a relatively small corresponding increase in carbon monoxide levels <br />and other vehicle -related air emissions. The project is expected to have a negligible impact on air <br />quality as existing AADTs are below operational thresholds. Consequently, baseline air quality <br />monitoring, or predictive air quality modeling, has not been scheduled at this time, and no measures <br />to mitigate air quality impacts have been considered. <br />c. Dust and odors - Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of dust and <br />odors generated during project construction and operation. (Fugitive dust may be discussed under <br />item 16a). Discuss the effect of dust and odors in the vicinity of the project including nearby sensitive <br />receptors and quality of life. Ident� measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate the effects <br />of dust and odors. <br />Project development will not generate odors or dust in excess of levels emitted during typical <br />construction practices of suburban developments. Odors and dust produced during construction will <br />meet the requirements of the MPCA and applicable local regulations. <br />29 <br />
