Councilmember Pearson: aye <br />Councilmember Strommen: aye <br /> <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />Case #12: <br /> <br />Authorization for Release of the Draft Environmental Assessment <br />Worksheets (EAWs) for Sweet Bay Ridge and Brooldlcld Addition <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon explained on November 30, 2004, the City <br />received sketch plans from Oakwood Land Development for subdivision of property located on <br />the former St. Anthony Gun Club propertYth (Sweet Bay Ridge) and property located west of <br />Nowthen Boulevard N.W. and noah of 167 Avenue N.W. (Brookfield Addition). Oakwood is <br />proposing that Sweet Bay Ridge will consist of 165 single family lots and Brookfield will consist <br />of 235 single family lots. On February 22, 2005, the City Council authorized preparation of <br />Environmental Assessment Worksheets as both of the developments propose to disturb more <br />than 80 acres of naturally vegetated and forested land. The City engaged the services of Bolton <br />and Menk to complete the required EAWs. Draft EAW documents have been prepared for both <br />projects and are now ready for consideration. Under Chapter 4410.1500 of Minnesota Rules, the <br />City is required to release a Draft EAW to various state, county, and multi-jurisdictional agencies <br />for review and comment. In addition, the Draft EAW documents will be available to the general <br />public for their comments. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated staff has also included another Draft <br />EAW related to both developments. This document was prepared due to the increase in flow of <br />sewer capacity and the need to extend sanitary sewer to both properties. This Draft EAW will <br />follow a slightly different process than the Brookfield and Sweet Bay Ridge EAWs, as the <br />Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) will be the Responsible Governmental Unit <br />(RGU). <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to adopt resolution #05- <br />06-170 authorizing the release of the Sweet Bay Ridge Draft EAW. <br /> <br />Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Cook, Jeffrey, Olson, Pearson, <br />and Strommen. Voting No: None.

Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Strommen, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to authorize staff to <br />submit the sanitary sewer Draft EAW to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Elvig asked if the EAW will be taken over by the <br />Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
