J. Fish and Wildlife <br /> <br />II. <br /> <br />Wetland areas will be preserved. However, adjacent upland <br />areas will be reduced for nesting areas which will result in <br />a reduction in the local populations of many species of <br />wildlife. To minimize the loss of nesting areas, the <br />developer will provide a natural undisturbed buffer between <br />the wetland and the proposed development. (Comments to EAW <br />and EAW) <br /> <br />Archeological and Historical Resources <br /> <br />The proposed project has a relatively high probability of <br />containing prehistoric archeological sites. Therefore, an <br />archeological survey will be completed. (EAW and response <br />from the Minnesota Historical Society). <br /> <br />Parks and Special Resource Areas <br /> <br />Construction of this project will not create any adverse <br />impacts on parks or special resource area. As part of the <br />project, a new park will be created in conjunction with the <br />developments of Chestnut Hills and Cedar Hills. (EAW) <br /> <br />Roads and Traffic <br /> <br />The proposed development is estimated to generate <br />approximately a total of 400 to 500 ADT. Ten percent of the <br />trips are estimated to be to the west and 90% are estimated <br />to be to the east along County Road No. 116. The traffic <br />estimated to go west will utilize streets in the proposed plat <br />of Cedar Hills and outlet to Sunfish Lake Bouelvard by a <br />proposed street south of Hunter's Hill development. Mn/DOT <br />states that the impact on ToH.'s 10 and 47 would be only <br />moderate. (EAW and comments from Mn/DOT) <br /> <br />Utilities <br /> <br />A new sewer line will be required to se~ve this and other <br />proposed developments in the area. Ade.~uate energy resources <br />are available to construct and serve the project. Natural gas <br />to the project will be provided by North Central Public <br />Service and electricity to the project will be provided by <br />Anoka Electric Cooperative.

With the <br />construction cf a municipal sewer and water system for tkis <br />project, a~ditiona! deve!opmen~ can occur in the area. Future <br />deve!cpment would be consistent with the City's Comprehensive <br />Plan an~ regional plans for the area. (Ramsey Comprehensive <br /> <br /> <br />
