<br />~ Metropolitan Council <br />n <br />November 6, 2007 <br /> <br />Dallas Larson, Administrator <br />City of Centerville <br />1880 Main Street <br />Centerville, MN 55038 <br /> <br />RE: Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W) <br />Centerville Downtown Redevelopment <br />Metropolitan Council District II <br />Metropolitan Council Review File No. 20095-1 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Larson: <br /> <br />As indicated in my October 23 letter Council staff reviewed the environmental assessment worksheet <br />(EA W) for the Centervil1c Downtown Redevelopment area. The proposalinvolvQs redevelopment of <br />Centerville's downtown and environs into a mixed use area of multi-family housing and retail/office <br />space over a period of five years. The area encompasses over 37 acres of the existing downtown along <br />Main StreetlCSAH 14, plus several blocks to the south on either side ofCenterville RoadlCSAH 23. <br /> <br />In the October 23 letter staff found the EA W to be incomplete with respect to regional transportation <br />analysis. On November 5 Council staff received additional infonnation from the City's consultant <br />regarding potential regional transportation system impacts. This information and analysis satisfactorily <br />addresses the Council's previous concerns. <br /> <br />! I <br />! I <br /> <br />With the new November 5 information Council staff finds the EA W complete and accurate for regional <br />review purposes. The project raises no concerns in tenns of regional systems and an Environmental <br />Impact Statement does not appear warranted from a regional perspective. <br /> <br />liyou have any questions or need further information with respect to these matters, please contact Bob <br />Mazanec, Principal Reviewer, at 651-602-1330. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~~~J ~~-~ <br /> <br />Phyllis son, Manager <br />Local anning Assistance <br /> <br />cc: Doug Thomas, Rice Creek Watershed District <br />Jack Jackson, MultiFamily Market Analyst, MHF A <br />Too Sherman, Development Reviews Coordinator, MnDOT - Metro Division <br />Georgie Hilker, Metropolitan Council District II <br />Keith Buttleman, Environmental Services <br />Bob Mazanec, Principal Reviewer- Sector Representative <br />Ann Braden, Transportation <br />Joanne Barron, Livable Communities <br />Linda Milashius, Housing-Livabale Communities <br />Cheryl Olsen, Reviews Coordinator <br />Paul Hanson, GIS <br />Jim Uttley, LPA <br />V:IREVIEWS\Communities\Centerville\Leners\CenterviIJe 2007 DoMlloMl Redevelopment EA W #2009S-lcomplele.doc <br />www.metrocouncil.org <br /> <br />390 Robert Street North.
