Zmoact Of =~ <br /> ~_.e Prouosed Acuicn <br /> <br />Short-term impacts of the proposed action will be the loss of <br />vegetation cover during grading operations, potential ercsicn <br />during the construction and turf establis.hment pericd, and the <br />noise associated with construction activity. The project can <br />also be expected to increase the level of truck traffic on Waco <br />street and Highway 47 during the construction period. The entry <br />to che park off of Waco, hcwever, is situated prior to the <br />beginning of the adjoining residential area. The design, <br />ccnstructi3n specifications and the work schedule will minimize <br />these impacts as discussed in the previous sections. <br /> <br />Longer term impacts directly resulting from this project may be a <br />minute loss of flood plain capacity due to any fill which wcu!d <br />be required ~ ~ <br /> ~o~ the facilities. This is expected =o be a nominal <br />amount with quantities and alternatives being developed in tke <br />design phase. Additional impaCts resulting from this project are <br />likely to be an increase in vo~ ~ ~ . <br /> ~v..=cu~a_ traffic near the Dark <br />environs as a result of more park users and an increase in <br />neighborhood noise levels due to noise generated by park users. <br />Both of these would appear to be acceptable and can further be <br />mitigated through adequate provision of parking areas and <br />screening or buffering intensive use areas from nearby <br />residences. <br /> <br />Long-term, positive benefits are provided by this project due to <br />the development of badly needed athletic facilities within the <br />City. <br /> <br /> <br />
