Site 45—Site Executive Summary March 29, 2017 Site Information: To the southeast of Site 45 is a large commercial development anchored by Coborn's Superstore. Directly to the east of the property is Armstrong Boulevard which is an interchange accessing U.S. Highway 10 which was opened in 2016. U.S. Highway 10 provided access to U.S. Highway 169. Located to the west of the property is are two existing commercial properties and to the north of the property is 147th Ave NW. A transit stop for the Northstar Commuter Rail is located just a few blocks from this site to the south. The Northstar Commuter Rail provided rail access to downtown Minneapolis.The Site has stubbed access off of 147th Avenue NW and another is available from the south off of 1461h Avenue NW. The property is 2.8 acres in size. Based on review of the property, a portion of the existing 2.8 acres may need to be dedicated to either the City of Ramsey or Anoka County.We estimate that area to be approximately half of an acre which would leave a little over a two (2) acre parcel remaining for development. The property is zoned as Cor 2 Commercial. The Cor 2 Commercial subdistrict is designated to provide a location for a mix of large and small floor plates accommodating auto-oriented uses. Building Permit Application and Commercial Site Review: The city's 2016 building permit and commercial construction requirements have been included for the site. Community Profile: The community demographics have been included with the report to allow for the potential development contacts to have a general understanding of the community. Environmental Review: WSB has performed this Phase I ESA in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E1527-13 for Anoka County Parcels 29-32-25-14-0009 and 29-32-25-14- 0010 located in Ramsey, Minnesota. Exceptions to, or deletions from,this practice are described in Section 2.3 of the report. This Phase I ESA has revealed one REC,two HRECs, and no CRECs associated with the Property as described in Section 8.1, Section 8.2, and Section 8.3. Based on the results of this assessment, WSB conducted a Limited Phase 11 ESA. The Phase 11 ESA identified that vapor mitigation may be required below future buildings at the Site as recommended by MPCA vapor mitigation guidance. The Phase 11 ESA also identified that due to identified DRO and VOC impacts to soil, groundwater, and soil vapor will require special management during redevelopment activities. GRO, 1,3-butadiene, benzene and dichlorodilfluoromethane in soil/vapor exceeding MPCA reporting thresholds was identified and as such Phase 11 ESA results should be reported to the Minnesota State Duty Officer.
