9. Comment: Real estate professionals who are familiar with this area have advised those of us in the neighborhood along Asbury Avenue that we can expect a minimum of 10% decrease in real estate value for our homes, with a commensurate decrease in home values over the entire neighborhood. How can the College mitigate this personal loss for so many neighbors? Response: The College will mitigate potential negative environmental impacts on neighboring properties by complying with federal, state and local regulations. EAWs address environmental impacts and do not eva ate the potential positive or negative economic impacts of proposed developm�:� . 10. Comment: What are the increased emissions for Lydia, the new parking ramp, and the new circular road? - ^"� � ��,.. Response: Based on the traffic model SimTraffic, carbon� a�oxide emissions at � ia �4 the two study intersections most affected by new campus tr� s° ither decreased (by 60% at Lydia Avenue/College entrance) ormarginally inc ��d (by 6% af Lydia Avenue/Snelling Avenue) under the Year 2018 cumulative� �� ario with mitigation measures implemented, compared to 2018 background �frithout campus expansion) conditions. No significant increase in emissions is expected from the parking ramp �� circular road. 11. Comment: How much li�� light will fall on adjoining � affect the surrounding env light the new facilities and I be added with this development? How much �? V1/ill we see the fixtures? How will the lighting �nt? Howmuch more energy will be required to �ads all night long? Response: The lighting will co "��`: with the lighting design standards and regulations of Roseville's City (Section 1010.12), and the City of Arden Hills Zoning Code lighting standa "` Section 1325.05). All outdoor lighting will have a concealed light source and �1i11 be downcast. Lighting levels contiguous ' idential properties will be low enough to prevent lighting of those properties le� a half foot-candle). Energy efficient lighting will be used. The exact type, '' ' n and placement of light fixtures will be developed in a Lighting Plan, which wi ` completed at the time of architecfural and road design. Comment: F�0. osed buildings and significant increase in vehicle activity are not compatible t� 1 residential area. ReS n described in the EAW, the project is compatible with the �. comp�� sive plans and land use regulations of both Arden Hills and Roseville. As note;`a��urrent zoning in Arden Hills is Residential (R-1). This classification allows institutions of higher learning (School, Higher Education) as a Planned Unit according to the Land Use Chart in Secfion 5.E of the City of Arden Hills' Zoning Ordinance. The proposed buildings and potential increase in vehicle activity envisioned by the Master Plan both conform with applicab/e requirements under R-1 zoning and neither will require modifrcation to any applicable plan or regulation. The increase in vehicle activity associated wifh the Master Plan is addressed in detail at Question 21 of the EAW and further in the Traffic Impact Study referenced therein.
