• • uses, such as soil contamination or abandoned storage tanks, or proximity to nearby hazardous liquid or gas pipelines. The /and use is curreratly =oned irrdust�-ial and is a parking faciliry foi� over the i�oad trailers. The sile has been consistently used for lhis purpose since its inceplion in the /950's ivhen it ivas a farnr. Other than the snaall steel sU�ucture on the properry and the mostly paved surface no other derelopntent has occured sisace it ivas_frist consti•zrcted. The cu�-rent trse is consistent ii�ith the use of the st�rrounding properties, hoivei�ei�, the City hns designuted this area for redeve(opment and has,for many years unde��iaken steps to promote its dereloprnent consistent irith the conrprehensive plan. The proposed use is consistent ivith !he City's master ancl comprehensive plan. The p�•oposed denelopn:ent is consislent irith other recent developmeriis ihat have been arnde�•taken bringing those properlies in to ca7formance ivith the comprehensire plan. None of the adjacent properties are currently proposi�ag i�edevelop»rent so it is unknoivn hoiv this project ivil! re/ate to those ii�:p��ovements ivhen, and if, they are comp(eted. There are no knoivr� enuironn2ental ha�ards i>>ithin the properry. The general area has been the subject of intense inspection for environrnental conce�•ns irith no specifrc action beiiag requirecl at this time. It is not kno�v to this applicanl the extent of any contamination of m�y adjacent property. With regard to the proposed dei�elopment no studies have revealed a�ry environmental oi° geotechnica/ issues regz�iring action. ] 0. Cover types. Estimate the acreage of the site with each of the following cover types before and after development: Before After Before After Types 1-8 wetlands Lawn/landscaping None None 22,056 s.f. 34,736 – after dedication of approximately 3,000 for ROW Wooded/forest Impervious surfaces None None 126,336 s.f. 114,000 s.f. Brush/Grassland Other (describe) Cropland None None TOTAL 3.42 If Before and After totals are not equal, explain why: Right of Way (ROW) dedication will reduce the total land size. 11. Fish, wildlife and ecologically sensitive resources a. Identify fish and wildlife resources and habitats on or near the site and describe how they would be affected by the project. Describe any measures to be taken to minimize or avoid impacts. None. The site is czu�rently mostly coveped ivith asphalt surface. In 20061he Minnesota Department of Natura! Reso:�rces lvas asked to determine if there iver•e " any rare plant or animal species or other significant natui•al featur-es... " ivithin the genera! Tu�in Lakes area. They reported 1 knotivn occurrence of a jumping spider, but no� at thi.r properry, and concluded about development within Tivin Lakes "I do not beliere it ivill affect this i•are featzrre. " b. Are any state-listed (endangered, threatened or special concern) species, rare plant communities or other sensitive ecological resources such as native prairie habitat, colonial waterbird nesting colonies or regionally rare plant communities on or near the site? Yes X No If yes, describe the resource and how it would be affected by the project. Indicate if a site survey of the resources has been conducted and describe the results. If the DNR Natural Heritage and Nongame Research program has been contacted give the correspondence reference number: Yes 20010827- 0004. Describe measures to minimize or avoid adverse impacts. None at this property. 12. Physical impacts on water resources. Will the project involve the physical or hydrologic alteration — dredging, filling, stream diversion, outfall structure, diking, and impoundment — of any surface waters such as a lake, pond, wetfand, stream or drainage ditch? Yes _X No If yes, identify water resource affected and give the DNR Protected Waters Inventory number(s) if the water resources affected are on the PWI: . Describe alternatives considered and proposed mitigation measures to minimize impacts. 13. Water use. Will the project involve installation or abandonment of any water wells, connection to or changes in any public water supply or appropriation of any ground or surface water (including
