The Guidant Campus Master Plan (September 2002) identifies other measures that have been incorporated into the site plan to minimize visual impacts of the parking ramps including: . The use of high-pressure sodium lamps (yellow light) over metal halide lamps (white light). Positioning parking ramp light to mlmmlze "spot light" effect on neighbors ("Neighborhood Glare"). Ramp design will incorporate screening material to shield lights from neighbors. Landscaping (trees) will also be implemented to further screen the parking structures from adjacent residents. . . . A general description of these considerations is included Item 26 of the AUAR. These considerations are consistent with the requirement of Section 6.D.3 of the City of Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance. 7. A drainage plan has been completed for the Guidant Campus including measures for rate control of runoff, a Rice Creek Watershcd District requirement. The Guidant Campus is required by Rice Creek Watershed District to at least maintain the rate of storm water volumes entering the drainage system. The strategies dcveloped for rate control were based on the best available information including past water jevels. 8. Mn/DOT currently has improvements to the I-694/Snelling Avenue interchange included in their 2012 Work Study Program. This improvement is not included in the AUAR as it is not required for the Guidant Campus Expansion. 9. The existing traffic data for the AUAR study area was collected on March 12 and 13, 2002. 10. Detaijs on the location of a future north-south connection proposed to extend north of CR 96 to CR I were not provided in the Draft AUAR because further consideration must be given to development of the TCAAP site and associated traffic need/issues of this sitc. Approximately 668 acres in the southwest portion of the TCAAP site is to be made available for redevelopment. Thc City of Arden Hills is beginning a mastcr planning process for this land to determine the appropriate levels and types of devejopment. This master planning process will include a traffic element that wi]] consider recommended development scenarios, associated impacts to adjacent roadways and necessary traffic/roadway improvements for the recommended development. In addition, Ramsey County is preparing design plans for a public works maintenance facility in the northwest quadrant ofCR 96 and Hamline Avcnue. 1 J. The signal at Hamline/CR F is planned for Phase 11 of the development (sec the final AUAR Mitigation Plan in Appendix E). Guidant Campus Master Plan Responses to Comments January 2003 - 7-
