WSB S 701 Xenia Avenue South I Suite 300 I Minneapolis, MN 55416 I (763) 541-4800 Memorandum To: Tim Gladhill, City of Ramsey From: Breanne Rothstein, WSB & Associates, Inc. Alison Harwood, WSB & Associates, Inc. Date: March 30, 2017 Re: Capstone Homes (Riverstone Addition) EAW Review WSB Project No. 01973-350 On behalf of the City of Ramsey, WSB & Associates, Inc. has reviewed the Pearson Farm Residential Development EAW for compliance with requirements. The following comments were noted during our review: 1) Project Title • Page 1 — Include the location in the project title. 5) Project Location • Page 2 — For residential development, it is recommended that grading, drainage, or other plans be attached if available. 6) Project Description • Page 2 — Figures 3 and 4 show the proposed site plan and a maximum density site plan, but both are referenced for the proposed site plan. Consideration should be made to distinguish between the two in the project description 11) Water Resources • Page 11 — for the Table 6, Appendix B reference, the formatting makes it seem like Table 6 is located in Appendix B. Consider reformatting by possibly using semicolon or ampersand symbol. • Page 11 — Include a table that shows the location of the wellhead protection area or other sensitive water management areas. • Page 16 — in the Surface Waters section, include measures taken to avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands, such as an alternatives analysis. 12) Contamination / Hazardous Materials / Waters • Page 18 — Include a figure for the WIMN database listings. 17) Noise • Page 23 — With the project adjacent to TH 10 a noise analysis should be considered to document the need for future noise walls. Although this is not a requirement, in the future if issues arise MnDOT will not participate in funding of needed walls. It will be the local responsibility. 18) Transportation • Page 24 — This section should be updated based on the Traffic Study comments. Figures • On the site plan the access at Bunker Lake Blvd shows a center median. In order to provide lane continuity Bunker Lake Blvd will need to be widened. Appendix E 1. Introduction: • Page 1 — the study only include analysis at the intersections closest to the development. Consideration should be given to also evaluating for regional impacts: o Bunker Lake Blvd at Armstrong Blvd o Alpine Dr at Armstrong Blvd Building a legacy — your legacy.
