Predicted Nighttime Noise Level Discussion Table 2 of the noise analysis (provided in Attachment 3) indicates that all modeled residential receptor locations, except location R 7, would have nighttime traffic noise levels above the Minnesota standard for modeled years 2012 and 2030. This standard is based on sleep interference for people sleeping in bedrooms with partially open windows. Residences in these areas should have year-round climate control and should be constructed to achieve an outdoor-to-indoor noise level reduction of 30 dBA. 25.Nearby resources Are any of the following resources on or in proximity to the site? Archaeological, historical or architectural resources? ..JL Y es _No Prime or unique farmlands or land within an agricultural preserve? ..JL Y es _No Designated parks, recreation areas or trails? lYes _No Scenic views and vistas? _Yes ..JLNo Other unique resources? _Yes ..JLNo If yes, describe the resource and identify any project-related impacts on the resource. Describe any measures to minimize or avoid adverse impacts. a) Archaeololrical. Historical. or Architectural resources The Minnesota Historical Society State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was contacted regarding the presence of documented cultural resource sites within the project area. According to the response received (see Attachment 4) numerous sites were identified and many appear to be located within the downtown redevelopment area. The City is in the process of obtaining information related to a cultural resources survey that was completed in the area for the proposed Anoka County CSAH 14 Reconstruction Project. b) Prime or Uniaue Farmlands According to Anoka County soils information, two soils in the project area are identified as prime farmland: Hayden fine sandy loam, 2-6% slopes and Nessel fine sandy loam, 1- 4% slopes. Two other soils are classified as prime farmland if drained: Dundas loam and Webster loam. In addition, one soil is classified as farmland of statewide importance: Hayden fine sandy loam, 6-12% slopes, eroded. Figure 8 shows the locations ofthe soils. Although a number of the soils in the project area are identified as important to farming, land within the project corridor is not used agriculturally. Most was developed long ago as residential or commercial property. c) Desismated Parks. Recreation Areas. or Trails There are no designated parks or recreation areas within the project area. However, Centerville Lake is adjacent to the project area and offers numerous recreational opportunities including boating, fishing, and swimming. A number of City parks are located within the vicinity of the project area and offer open spaces for recreation and picnicking. The largest of these, Laurie LaMotte Park, is located just to the south of the 22
