Public notification for the availability of the EAW was noticed in the Environmental Quality Board's EQB <br />Monitor on August 1, 2023. A press release (attached) was provided to local media per State rules. City staff <br />mailed a copy of the press release to properties within 700 feet (the same distance used for plat notification since <br />the project will eventually include a plat). Asocial media blast was also conducted on the City's pages. <br />A web page on the City's website was created to share the draft EAW with the public <br />(https://www.ci.ramsey.mn.us/989/Haviland-Fields). A paper copy was placed in the City Hall lobby as well. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Alternatives to Consider: <br />1. Approve the EAW, Findings of Fact, and Record of Decision as presented. <br />2. Find that the EAW was not sufficient and order an Environmental Impact Statement. Specific items of concern <br />must be noted. <br />3. Continue the EAW to a future meeting to modify certain sections or responses to comments. <br />Note: Denial of the EAW is not a valid option for this type of request. <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs associated with the EAW preparation and review are the responsibility of the developer, Presbyterian <br />Homes (Senior Housing Partners). <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of the Haviland Fields EAW, Findings of Fact, and Record of Decision. <br />Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #23-223 approving the Haviland Fields EAW, Findings of Fact, and Record of <br />Decision. <br />Attachments <br />EAW Document <br />Resolution #23-223 <br />Exhibit A: Findings of Fact and Record of Decision <br />Press Release <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 09/21 /2023 11:07 AM <br />Form Started By: Todd Larson Started On: 09/14/2023 10:41 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 09/21/2023 <br />
