Adjacent residences could experience visual impacts such as increased <br />light. <br /> <br />Existing vegetation located along the western and northwestern portion of the site between <br />the study area and adjacent residents will continue to provide a visual buffer. Additional <br />mitigation will be incorporated into site development plans that will be submitted to the <br />city, ineluding lighting in the parking ramps that will be shielded and directed downward to <br />minimize glare that could be transmitted to adjacent residences. Additional planting of <br />deciduous, overstory, and coniferous trees will be planted all along the west and <br />northwestern portion of the site. Constructing levels below grade, thereby reducing the <br />overall height of the ramps, will further minimize visual impact of the parking ramps. <br />Ramps 3 and 4 in the northwest portion of the site will be constructed with one and two <br />levels below grade, respectively. Ramps 5, 6 and 7 will be eonstructed with two levels <br />below grade and Ramps I and 2 will be constructed with half a level below grade. <br /> <br />27. COMPATIBILITY WITH PLANS <br /> <br />EAW: <br />IS THE PROJECT SUBJECT TO AN ADOPTED LOCAL COMPREHENSIVE LAND <br />USE PLAN OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAND USE, WATER, OR RESOURCE <br />MANAGEMENT PLAN OF A LOCAL, REGIONAL, STATE, OR FEDERAL <br />AGENCY?

If this has not been done as part of the responses to Items 6, 9, <br />19, 22, and others, it must be addressed here; a brief synopsis should be presented here if <br />the material has been presented in detail under other items. Necessary amendments to <br />comprehensive plan elements to allow for any of the development scenarios should be <br />noted. If there are any management plans of any other local, state, or federal agencies <br />applicable to the AUAR area, the document must discuss the compatibility of the plan with <br />the various development scenario studies, with emphasis on any incompatible elements. <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills certifies that its 1998 Comprehensive Plan is consistent with thc <br />requirement set out in 4410.3610, Subpart l, including a land use plan; a public facilities <br />plan (including transportation, sewer and watcr supply systems); and an implementation <br />program. <br /> <br />Guidant Campus Master Plan <br />Fina] AUAR and Mitigation Plan <br /> <br />January 2003 <br /> <br />- 55 - <br />
