Response to Draft Scoping EAW Comments <br />January 9, 2018 <br />Page 8 <br />Response: One scenario consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and one scenario consistent with the <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan Update will be assessed in the AUAR along with the no build scenario. <br />2) Item 8 — Permits: <br />Please include in the permit section that amendment to the 2030 CPU or incorporation into the 2040 CPU is <br />needed. Beginning July I, 2018, we will no longer accept amendments to 2030 comprehensive plans. Linked <br />here is the Council's guidelines on 2030 comprehensive plan amendment review through 2018 <br />https://metrocouncil.ora/Communities/Publications-And- Resources/Comp-Plan-Amendment-Review-Throuah- <br />2018.aspx. <br />Response: The project will be incorporated into the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update which will be described <br />in the AUAR. <br />3) Item 9 - Land Use: <br />The SEAW discusses the City of Dayton Land Use Map (Figure 7) and indicates that the future planned land uses <br />in the AUAR area are commercial, low -medium density residential, low -density residential, and agricultural <br />preserve and that the northern part of the site is located in the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area. However, <br />please note that Figure 7 is the City's Existing Land Use Map versus 2030 CPU Future Land Use (Approved 2030 <br />CPU Future Land Use: https://metrocounciLorg/Council-Meetings/Committees/Community-Development- <br />Committee/2014/October-6,-2014/2014-241.aspx). Also, please note that the 2030 CPU future land uses for the <br />AUAR area include mixed use rather than commercial. <br />As noted in the SEAW, the eastern edge of the site includes land is guided Agricultural Preserves. Please confirm <br />in the AUAR if this area is still currently enrolled. <br />The Appendix includes Figure 8 "Proposed Land Use," which shows the entire development area as "Master Plan <br />Land Use," but should be updated to show future land use categories consistent with the City's comprehensive <br />plan (i.e. Mixed Use, Low -Density Residential). <br />• Regional Parks and Trails: <br />The AUAR area is adjacent to the West Mississippi River Regional Trail Search Corridor, which will be <br />planned, developed, and operated by Three Rivers Park District and governed by the 2040 Regional Parks <br />Policy Plan. Per the Dayton Park and Open Space Plan, the City will work to connect surrounding <br />communities to greenways and trails. The SEAW states the development of the site will take these local <br />planning efforts into consideration and establish the identified connections. <br />12800 Whitewater Drive, Suite 300, Minnetonka, MN 55343 1763.476.6010 <br />2401 46th Avenue Southeast, Suite 202, Mandan, ND 58554 1701.204.6845 www.sambatek.com <br />
