COMMENTS & RESPONSES The developer is welcome to access the County's model for more accurate data. Of course, Metro Council's model is also available. In regards to section 21 of thc traffic study, the EAW should consider the cumulative impact it will have on the roadway system with other developments occurring in the area, i.e. Brookfield Addition and the Sweetbay Ridge Development. These projects should not be considered in a vacuum; rather they will all share the same roads at about the same time based on the proposed development timing of each project. Cumulative impacts should be considered now. These issues can also be addressed through use of the County's or Metro Council's Traffic Model for current and fitture traffic scenarios. The development should be staged until an interchange isbuilt at TH 10. Sfaging should only allow enough development for the existingroads to handle, Capacity points in time can be decided tlu'ough use of the traffic models mentioned, The development should consider the proposed Anoka County MissisSippi River Regional Trail. The trail Would run south of Highway 10 along, the no,nth side of the Mississippi River. Connectivity Would be made along CR 56' (Ramsey Bird) to the existing trail running along CR 116 (Bunker Lake Bird) ending at CSAH 83 (Arn4strong Bird). Attached is a location map of the proposed trail system in thc City of Ramscy. We appreciate the opportunity to be involved with projects, such as the ?ulte Homes. However, we remain concerned about traffic impacts and again, would request these issues be mitigated through staging efforts or other developmenJ: controls in order to allow the County Highway system to operate safely, Please feel free to. contactme if you have any further questions on the above comments. I can be reached at (763) 862-4219 or via ema[l at Lmme. Bernard~co.mxoka,mn.us. We look forward to continuihg to work together as your community plans for future developments. Lance lt.
