Estimated maxim um peak ho ur 170 trips traffic generated (if known) Time of occurrence 4:30-5:30 PM Weekdays An increase in traffic flow will be generated in this area due to residential development. A stop sign will need to be placed at all development entrances that intersect with the surrounding roadway network. No immediate improvements are needed on roadways around the development area. ' This development, when complete, will provide a direct connection at Variolite Street and 161 st Avenue. Right turn lanes offof northbound Variolite Street will be installed to improve safety and traffic flow. Please see a more in depth discussion of the traffic issues included in the appendix. Estimate the effect of the project's traffic generation on air quality, includin9 carbon monoxide levels. Discuss the effect of traffic improvements or other mitigation measures on air quality impacts. Note: If the project involves 500 or more parkino spaces, consult EAW Guidelines about whether a detailed air quality analysis is needed .... The development of this proposed 162 ~it single family residential subdivision will, indeed, con~bute to the traffic volume bwowth on Vafiolite Street NW ~ presented in the tra~c analysis in the appendix. The proposed subdivision will be consistent with the CiW of Ramsey's Comprehensive Land Use Plan upon im proposed amendment. Funhe~ore, the planning and desi~ of the subdivision provides good intersection spacing, of 1/4 mile or more, along Vafiolite Street NW, which should provide good ~affic management and operations. Thcrctbre, the proposed Sweetbay Ridge subdivision is not anticipated to result in ~affic congestion or si~ificant air quality impacts. Carbon monoxide levels are projected to remain below the MPCA standards became the existing roadway system (along with planned improvement) appears to have sufficient capacity to handle ~ps generated by the proposed development. Congestion is not expected on local or regional roadways and ~verse air q~lity effec~ do not appear likely. No air quality monitoring h~ been completed for the proposed project ~ this time ~d no mitigation measures are being proposed. Describe the type, sources, quantities and compositions of any emissions from stationary sources of air emissions such as boilers, exhaust stacks or fugitive dust sources. Include any hazardous air pollutants (consult £AW Guidelines for a listing) and any greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide) and ozone- depleting chemicals (chloro-fluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons or sulfur hexafluoride). Also describe any proposed pollution prevention techniques and proposed air pollution control devices. Describe the impacts on air quality. The unly sources of stationary air emissions will be from domestic heat sources from residences. Fugitive dust may be generated during construction of the project. Best management practices will be followed as they are stated within the construction specifications. It is anticipated that the project will not generated significant dust beyond current site conditions. Will the project generate odors, noise q(dust during construction or during operation? If yes, describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities or intensity and any proposed measures to mitigate adverse impacts. Also identify locations of nearby
