Initially, a Bunker Lake Boulevard westbound left turn lane and Ferret Street northbound designated left turn lane and right turn lanes are all warranted. The current land use zoned "COR" allows for flexibility. If the HY-10 Area evolves to more commercial orientated uses with the addition of the ARAA facility and others, additional analysis is warranted to better understand the impacts. A detailed traffic analysis memorandum is included in Appendix D. 4.8 Permits Permits that are anticipated to be required as part of the proposed improvements include: • Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA): Sanitary Sewer Extension • Minnesota Department of Health (MDH): Watermain Extension • MPCA General Stormwater Permit: Grading and Storm Water • Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) Grading and Storm Water Feasibility Report Update HI -10 Ramsey Improvements City of Ramsey Project No. 18-02 Page 9
