Adelaide Landing Residential Development EAW, Hugo January 31, 2017 The project will not generate significant odors during construction or operation. Minor odors generated during construction will be typical of those associated with residential development processes, such as exhaust from diesel and gasoline powered construction equipment. The construction process is expected to generate some dust, but it is not anticipated that fugitive dust will be generated in objectionable quantities. The nearest receptors to the proposed project are several residential developments to the south of 130' Street N, west, north, northeast of the Project boundary and farmsteads located east of Project. Residential developments range in distances from immediately adjacent in the northern portion of the project boundary, to'/4-mile to the west. Farmstead buildings are located less than 0.1-mile from the eastern project boundary. Consideration will be given to suppression of airborne dust by application of water if significant fugitive dust generation occurs during site grading and equipment operation that is greater than routinely expected during normal construction practices. 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 project will be constructed in accordance with the city's established ordinance as outlined in City Code Chapter 46 - Nuisances. It is anticipated that noise levels will temporarily increase locally during project construction, but are expected to return to intensities consistent with existing levels and sources following project completion. Noise levels on and adjacent to the site will vary considerably during construction depending on the pieces of construction equipment being operated simultaneously, the percent of time in operation, and the distance from the equipment to the receptors. The nearest receptors to the proposed project are several residential developments to the south of 130t1i Street N, west, north, northeast of the Project boundary and farmsteads located east of Project. Residential developments range in distances from immediately adjacent in the northern portion of the project boundary, to 1/4-mile to the west. Farmstead buildings are located less than 0.1-mile from the eastern project boundary. Planned landscaping within and adjacent to project boundaries will help to minimize and mitigate the effects of the anticipated negligible noise generated from the project following construction. 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. Excelsior Group is proposing to construct 324 residential units on a 217.5-acre site in Hugo, Minnesota. The development, called Adelaide Landing, is to be located north of 1301h Street North and east of US Trunk Highway 61. 1) Existing and proposed additional parkin spaces -- There are no existing parking spaces on the site. Each residential unit will have at least one parking stall in its 30
