Project Summary Brookfield Addition is a residential development project located in Ra~ey, ~. Brookfield Ad~tion is c~ently a 179 acre piece of property ~ed for a~cul~e. The proposed site wilJ contain 253 single f~ily ~a~ached residences. This project will involve the extension of municipal utilities including sanit~ seWe[ wmer, public roads and sto~ sewer. b. Complete Project Description Site Development Casselberry Development is proposing a residential development, Brookfield Addition, comprising of253'single family homes. The project area is approximately 179 acres. Development xariil be consistent with City of Ramsey Ordinances. The site is bounded by residences to the east, south and wesl~. T~ the norih is Trott Brook. Nowthen Boulevard (County State Aid Highway 5 (CSAH 5)).will act as a collector street ~o provide access to this property. Attached is Figure 1 showing the project boundaries on the USGS topographic map and Figure 2 showing the concept layout of these proposed units. The large size of the land being converted from agricultural to residential triggered the creation of this EAW, as required by MN Rule 4410.4300, subpart 36, "Land use conversion, including golf courses." The project includes construction of roads, homes, ponds, and utilities such as storm water, wastewater, and water. The new development!s utilities will be connected to the existing City of Ramsey's water and wastewater systems.. Natural Features As shown on attached Figure No. 2, the proposed layout of homes, streets, and utilities will affect the environmental qualities of this area. There are natural wetlands, ponds, trees, and streams found on the site; they are a valuable natural resource and will be preserved as much as possible. The site will be graded to preserve the natural rolling land~cape as well as the native oak habitat. The ex/sting landscape consists of wetlands stretching across the proposed area from east to west in the upper half of the site:.~The remaining land is currently agricultural land. This proposed developm..fn, tLwill leave, the wetlands as they exist currently, but use the rest of the property for residential development .... '..' ' " Phasing The storm water ponds will be constructed first to provide protection from any potential runoff from the site. Final plans and specifications will be prepared for each phase of the development. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan will be required and implemented for each phase of the development. The construction of homes on the individual lots is proposed to begin during the 2005 construction season and
