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 nof evaluate the potential positive or negative economic impacts of proposed development. 10. Comment: What are the increased emissions for Lydia, the new parking ramp, and the new circular road? �� s '� "� ��`.��r` =:'>. Response: Based on the fraffic model SimTraffic, carbon monoxide emissions at the two study intersections most affected by new campus frips'either decreased (by 60% at Lydia Avenue/College entrance) ormarginally increased (by 6% at Lydia Avenue/Snelling Avenue) under the Year 2018 cumulafive''Scenario with mitigation measures implemented, compared to 2018 background `(withouf campus expansion) conditions. No significant increase in emissions is expected from the parking rampAand circular road. 11. Comment: How much ligh lig"t vri!! fall on a�jaining � affect the surrounding ern light the new facilities and added with this development? How much 'ill,,w� ��e the fixt�re�? Hotiv wr;ll the lightirg How much more energy will be required to ':all niqht�on4? Response: The lighting will coinply with the lighting design standards and regulations of Roseville's City Code,_ (Section 1010.12), and the City of Arden Hills Zoning Code lighting standards';(Section 1325:05). All outdoor lighting will have a concealed Iight source and`v�iill be downcast. Lighting levels contiguous to residential properties will be low enough to prevent lighting of those properties (less,than a half foot-candle). Energy efficient lighting will be used. The exact type, �location and placement of lighf fixfures will be developed in a Lighting Plan, �: = � which w�H;tie.,completed at the time of architectural and road design. Comment: Proposed buildings and significant increase in vehicle activity are not compatible to",R-1 residential area. Resp�onsef As�described in the EAW, the project is compatible with the compCehensive plans and land use regulafions of both Arden Hills and Roseville. As noted�current zoning in Arden Hills is Residential(R-1). This classification alfows institutions of higher learning (School, Higher Education) as a Planned Unit according to the Land Use Chart in Section 5.E of the Cify of Arden Hills' Zoning Ordinance. The proposed buildings and potential increase in vehicle activity envisioned by fhe Master Plan both conform with applicable requirements under R-1 zoning and neither will require modification to any applicable plan or regulation. The increase in vehicle activity associated with the Master Plan is addressed in detail at Question 21 of the EAW and further in the Traffic Impact Study referenced therein.
