City Planner Anderson noted the EAW process takes 2-3 months to review and could result in the <br />need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). He said the Board will have a significant role <br />in the EAW review and will include support of a planning consultant who focuses on EAWs. He <br />asked if the Board had any comments otherwise prior to the review and stated this will be a <br />complex process including navigation with the public. He added that the Environmental Quality <br />Board is looking for volunteers for their review panel on how this process can be improved and to <br />let him know if any Board Members are interested in being involved. <br />Board Member Trossen inquired about the developer. <br />City Planner Anderson said the developer is Capstone Homes and the property owner is Al <br />Pearson. He said Capstone Homes is located in Ramsey and has experience in the City with closing <br />out the Brookfield project. He said Capstone Homes has proven to be a good developer and that <br />the proposed 350 units will be phased over a number of years. <br />Chairperson Stodola asked what type of housing the developer proposes. <br />City Planner Anderson said although they have not received a formal application the project would <br />include both single and multi -family homes with multi -family on the north and south portions and <br />single-family in between with a community building and small neighborhood parks. <br />Board Member Covart inquired about road improvements. <br />City Planner Anderson said road improvements are planned for Bunker Lake Boulevard and Puma <br />Street with a proposed second connection to Alpine Drive. <br />Informational; no action required. <br />6. BOARD / STAFF INPUT <br />• Pilot Program for Collecting Extra Cardboard over Holidays <br />City Planner Anderson advised the implemented pilot program with ACE Solid Waste for <br />cardboard collection was very popular. He stated over the three weeks it was available, the 20- <br />yard container was dumped four times. He said the effort was at no cost to the City to gauge how <br />well it would be utilized and was successful with a total of over 2 tons of cardboard recycled with <br />no illegal dumping. City Planner Anderson said staff will likely continue with this program over <br />the holidays in the future. <br />City Planner Anderson stated the Board' s February meeting will be rescheduled to Wednesday, <br />February 22 due to the President' s Day holiday. <br />7.
