Implementing a traffic signal at Fairview Avenue/Lydia Avenue • Directing outbound right turns and inbound left tums to and from the west via the College west gate during the p.m. peak hour and adding an eastbound 150-foot left turn lane at fhe west gate and appropriate berming on the south side of the intersection to accommodate inbound left turns from the west and to mitigate potential impacts from car headlights to residentia/ properties to the south. • One additional exclusive eastbound left turn lane .' Snelling Avenue/Lydia Avenue with left turn lanes extended to 200 feet (the College should dedicate the right-of-way required on either side of Lydia Avenue to accommodate the new lanes). �� ��,N. • Develop Travel Demand Management (TDM) Plan ta'�"�' lement institutional measures that wo ld further improve futur �' hour traffic operations.

The tree buffer between the Athletic fields and Lydia were proposed to be removed in the plan pres�nted in April at the Roseville Pla� ' Commission. How will the change m noise emissions be handled w�fi - �. oval of the buffer? Response: The proj��ed p/ans for building locations and landscaping on the campus are conce #tJB/ at this time.

The College and designers�will rrrinimiz� r�� ,"� °�� xisting trees to the extent that is possible in deve/oping `the fina! plans. The = llege will submit final landscape plans to the City prior to project initiation, and will include protection of existing trees, screening, and a tre replacement program as part of the overall landscaping plan. 5. Comment: The EAW does not address the visual impact of the field house located as proposed to the Roseville Planning Commission. Response: The College will save as much existing vegetation as is practical, and will establish new vegetation to reduce the visual impacts of the proposed improvements. The College does not anticipate adverse visual impacts such as those identifred for EAW analysis (glare from intense lighting, large visible smoke plumes, etc.) In terms to neighbors to the west of the site, the significant wooded area surrounding the drainage creek west of the proposed fieldhouse will not be changed. 6. Comment: The EAW does not address the impact to the bluff adjacent to Little Lake Johanna as a result of the new field house location. Response: As noted in the response to Question 16 of the EAW, "Steep slopes exist near the project areas and extra care will be given to prevent erosion and TKDA Project No. 13529.002 Page 8 Draft Dafe: July 9, 2007
