14. Comment Summary: (Anoka County via SRF) A yearly growth rate of 2.4 percent was used to account for background growth in the area. It was documented that this percentage corresponds to the most recent County State Aid factor used by MnDOl This amount of background growth seems reasonable based on the CSAH 14 forecasts developed by SRF for the 2030 regional access alternatives in the CSAH 14 (I-35W to 1-35E) Study. Response: Comment acknowledged. 15. Comment Summary: (Anoka County via SRF) For 2030 conditions, the roadway upgrades identified for 2012 conditions are assumed as a baseline. However, the improvements were recommended to be modified to improve safety. Based on our analysis, the suggested modifications to the roadway geometry will not change the overall intersections operations, and it may provide some additional safety for the intersections and flexibility in providing future left-turn phasing. In regards to the southbound right-turn lane at Progress Road/CSAH14, this improvement does not significantly improve operations or safety, based on our review. If the right-of-way is available to construct a right-turn lane on this approach, it would provide some delay reduction to that individual movement. Response: Comment acknowledged. ITEM 25. NEARBY RESOURCES AGENCIES/INDIVIDUALS COMMENnNG: MET COUNCIL 1. Comment Summary: The EAW identifies two planned regional trails that will be located in or near the project area - the Central Anoka County Regional Trail and the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Bald Eagle Regional Trail. The Central Anoka County Regional Trail will be located on the south side of CSAH 14/Main Street and will be built in conjunction with the pending road reconstruction project. The EAW states that the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Bald Eagle Trail will run along Centerville Road to connect to the Central Anoka County Regional Trail. However, the planned regional trail is proposed to follow Goiffin Road instead of Centerville Road. This proposed alignment will route the trail near the project area, not through the Center of the redevelopment. Response: Comment acknowledged. Thank you for the correction. ITEM 27. PERMITS AND APPROVALS REQUIRED [SIC] [COMPATIBILITY WITH PLANS] AGENCIES/INDIVIDUALS COMMENTING: MET COUNCIL 1. Comment Summary: The EAW correctly indicates the proposed redevelopment is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and downtown master plan and states the purpose of the project is to revitalize a struggling downtown business district and to add new and affordable housing stock to the City. This appears consistent with the Council's Housing policy. The proposed addition of 374 housing units over the next five years will afford the community an opportunity to achieve its Livable Community negotiated housing goals through 2010. It will also allow the community the opportunity to address its share of the region's need of 80 units during the 2011-2020 time period.
