Northwestern College Master Plan <br />Roseville, Minnesota <br />Supplement <br />Findings of Fact <br />Conclusions of Law <br />And Order <br />23. Expansion of the College will increase the amount of solid waste generated by the school, <br />but this increase will not create a risk of significant environmental effects, because the <br />College provides for proper disposal of solid waste. <br />24. The project will not involve hazardous or toxic materials or contain above or below <br />ground storage tanks, and thus will not create a risk of significant environmental effects <br />due to such hazards. <br />25. The project will increase traffic by adding 690 parking spaces, �vhich will have the etfect <br />of increasing congestion at several intersections. The following mitigation measures, <br />which will be conditions of approval of the project by the City, will allow the area to <br />absorb the additional traffic without creating a significant environmental effect from <br />congestion: (1) implementing a traffic signal at Fairview Avenue/Lydia Avenue with an <br />exclusive southbound left turn lane; (2) directing outbound right turns and inbound left <br />turns to and from the west via the Northwestern College west gate during the afternoon <br />peak hour; (3) adding an exclusive150-foot right turn lane at Lydia Avenue/College <br />entrance to facilitate safe maneuvers for college-bound vehicles; (4) adding one <br />additional left turn lane at Snelling Avenue/Lydia Avenue with left turn lanes extended to <br />200 feet; (5) adding one additional left turn lane at Snelling Avenue/County Road C-2 <br />with left turn lanes extended to 200 feet; and (6) developing a Travel Demand <br />Management Plan for campus students, staff, and employees. <br />26. In addition to managing congestion, the traffic mitigation measures discussed in Finding <br />26 will minimize the potential for significant environmental effects due to an increase in <br />carbon dioxide air emissions. The traffic model by SimTraffic estimated that the Year <br />2018 cumulative scenario would include a decrease in carbon dioxide emissions by 60% <br />at the Lydia Avenue/College entrance intersection and allow only a marginal 6% increase <br />in emissions at the Lydia Avenue/Snelling Avenue intersection. <br />27. No evidence in the EAW process suggests the project will increase stationary source air <br />emissions; The project will not create a risk of significant effects to air quality resulting <br />from stationary source emissions. <br />28. During construction and after expansion, the project may generate increased noise levels, <br />but the potential increase in noise will not pose the potential for environmental effects <br />because the increased noise can be minimized through mitigation measures such as <br />curfews, limited operating hours for trash pick-up, deliveries, and construction, and <br />compliance with MPCA standard noise guidelines for public announcements from the <br />sports fields. No evidence produced in the EAW process supports a conclusion that noise <br />will or may lead to significant environmental effects. <br />-5- <br />
