Predicted Nighttime Noise Level Discussion Table 2 of the noise analysis (provided in Attachment 3 of the EAW) indicates that all modeled residential receptor locations, except location R7, 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. 19. Nearby Resources. a) Archaeological. 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 (provided in Attachment 4 of the EAW) numerous sites were identified and many appear to be located within the downtown redevelopment area. The City obtained a copy of the cultural resources survey that was completed by The 106 Group in the area for the proposed Anoka County CSAH 14 Reconstruction Project. The survey examined 39 properties in SHPO's inventory records - the same 39 properties that were listed in the SHPO response received for the downtown redevelopment project. The survey concluded that none of the properties are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. b) Prime or Unique 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. 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) Designated 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 project area and offers primary facilities for organized recreation activities, including a hockey rink, a skating rink, soccer fields, softball diamonds, and park buildings. Additionally, Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve is also within the vicinity of the project area. The Central Anoka County Regional Trail is planned to be located adjacent to CSAH 14 through the project area. Another designated trail, Rice Creek Chain of Lakes - Bald Eagle Regional Trail will run along Goiffin Road near the redevelopment area. Park and trail users may experience minor impacts of odors, noise and dust during construction of the project. These impacts would be short term and are not expected to be significant.
