distance of these activities. The College is responsive to comments from residents regarding noise levels generated from these facilities. To minimize noise impacts to the surrounding areas during construction, all x�ork will he done between the hours of 7: 00 a.m. and 7: 00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and beriveen 8: 00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, including starting and warming up equipment, loading and unloading equipment, and materia! delivery operatians. Work outside of these hours and on holidays is permitted only with prior written authorization by the City Engineer(s) of Arden Hills and Roseville. During construction ojthe proposed Project, fugitive dust is a potential air quality impact. The Contractor will take special care in providing and maintaining dusf control operutions appropriate for the prozimity and geographic location of the site to residential homes and other nearby developed and active facilities. To reduce the dust, sweeping, and watering of construction sites will be performed as needed. Digging, bac�lling, and boring will take place for the limited duration needed to complete construction. 25. Nearby resources. Are any of the following resources on or in proximity to the site'? Archaeological, historica( or architectural resources? X Yes No Prime or unique farmlands or land within an agricultural preserve? _Yes X No Designated parks, recreation areas or trails? X Yes _ No Scenic views and vistas? Yes X No Other unique resources? _Yes X No If yes, describe the resource and identify any project-related impacts on the resource. Describe any measures to minimize or avoid adverse impacts. History/Architecture. The SHPO response (see Attachment 14) indicated that there are two historic features in the surrounding area. Neither of these sites are drrectly adjacent to the project area and because of their location and distance from the College, there will not be any impacts to these historic structures as a result of this project. Designated Parks. In Roseville, Oasis Park, located oJf of Counry Road C2W, is within 1/4 mile south of the project site. This is classtfied as a neighborhood park and consists of approximately 15.4 acr-es of park land. This park area is not located adjacent to the project site and there will not be any impacts to the park. 26. Visual impacts. Will the project create adverse visual impacts during construction or operation? Such as glare from intense lights, lights visible in wilderness areas and large visible plumes from cooling towers or exhaust stacks? X Yes No If yes, expiain. With the proposed improvements to the College, there will inevitably be some changes to the visual landscape that now e,xists. While there wi[l be removal of some plant materials, the intent is to save as much existing vegetation as is practical. In some areas, plantirtgs wi11 be replaced or relocated, and in other areas, new vegetation will be established. As part of the overall landscaping plan, the College wil! choose plant species which can provide variery, focus, and ultimately help beaut� the campus by providing enhancement to the overal! campus design. Where possible, the College will use native species to improve water quality. The campus will also continue its program to reduce invasive species, especially buckthorn. The College will work with the cities to incorporate a tree replacement program as parl of the overall landscaping plan. Landscaping plans will address requirements of PUD approval, such as screening jor setback areas and maintenance plans to retain effective screening and assist in noise and light mitigation measures. Defined lighting plans will be provided as plans for each building are designed. The College intends to meet and exceed standards with regard to neighboring properties and lighting design standards ror Pnge 14
