I I AUAR: For an AUAR, contact with the State Historic Preservation Office is required to determine whether there are areas of potential impacts to these resources. If any exist, an appropriate site survry of high probability areas is needed to address the issue in more detail. The mitigation plan must include mitigation for any impacts identified. On June 14, 2002, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was eontacted to determine whether there were cultural resources within the AUAR study area that could be potentially impacted by the proposed campus expansion. No archaeologieal or historic sites were found in the SHPO datasets for the AUAR study area. Refer to SHPO letter in Appendix C. B. PRIME OR UNIQUE FARMLANDS? ...lL NO YES AUAR.- The extent of conversion of existing farmlands anticipated in the AUAR should be described. fr any farmland will be preserved by special protection programs, this should be discussed. c. NO ...x.. YES DESIGNATED PARKS, RECREATION AREAS, OR TRAILS? AUAR: If development of the A UAR area will interfere with or change the use of any existing such resource, this should be described in the A UAR. The RGU may also want to discuss under this item any proposed parks, recreation areas, or trails to he developed in conjunction with development of the AUAR area. Parks Cummings Park is a city park located north of the AUAR study area (north of Guidant Drive North) (see Figure 2). Thc park is approximately l7.5 acres in size and includes tennis and basketball courts, a hockey/skating rink and warming house, a soccer field, a softball/baseball diamond, playground equipment, a picnic shelter and a trail system. Main access to the park via automobile is currently gained via Guidant Drive North or Fernwood Avenue, with parking available in a parking lot off of Guidant Drive North. With the proposed development, there are plans to ultimately vacate Fernwood Avenue as a public street. This vacation will limit vehicles wishing to access the park to just one access point - Guidant Drive North. A two-lane campus drive will be constructed to replace the existing Femwood A venue. Traffic will be unable to travcl on thc road between the business hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with the use of sensitively designed control arms. One of the barricades will be located just north of the east-west drive to parking ramps 5 and 6 (see Figure 4). The other barricade will be located just south of thc new Guidant Drive North cul-de-sac. The gate will be activated by guards and able to be opened by emergency personnel. Bicyclist and pcdestrian users wi II continue to be able to access the park via local and rcgional trails, as described below.
