FEB-05-1997 14:09 BRW 612 370 1378 P.03/09 Mr, Karl Keel, PE February 5, 1997 Page 2 As indicated under Work Task I, because of the controversy surrounding this redevelopment project, a review of the project, methodology for developing the square footage, and the definition of the project should be reviewed with Gregg Downing_ On Monday, February 3, a meeting with Gregg took place regarding the project. At said meeting, Gregg was comfMtable with the numbers, but pointed out that there is a gray area in the Minnesota Environmental Rules regarding the definition of "construction" as it relates to redevelopment on a particular site_ To address this potential gray area, the EA W docunlent will stress the following areas: Project History, including clarification rcgarding previous proposed zoning and current zoning (retail versus light industrial/office/showroom) Clear description regarding parcel by parcel assumptions Clear detinition of what parcels are included within the study area (parcel 1-30, as outlined in attached figure prepared by the city) Carry through the theme, where appropriate, of how the proposcd redevelopment within the project area could result in environmental improvemcnts rather than adverse impacts. In addition to providing a clear and concise project description in the EA W, it will be imperative that the document cross-references thc Centre Pointe development project, the EA W prepared for the project, and any impacts refcrenced in said project that should be considered as part of the Twin Lakes Parkway EA W. BRW currently has a copy of the Centre Pointe EA W. To ensure that the most up to date information is included in the Twin Lakes Parkway EA W, BRW requests that copies of the comments letters and the developed responses for the Centre Pointe project be forwarded to our office as they arc received/developed. ~~> The final point in the overall approach to this project relates to the final aligrunent location for the proposed Twin Lakes Parkway. The scope of work, budget and schedule will be finalized upon direction from the city regarding potential analysis of two alignment locations, one preferred alignment or the elimination of thc roadway through the project site. Because of this outstanding issue, a budget and schedule are not included in this draft submittal. SCOPE OF SERVICES BR W will conduct the following tasks as part of the Twin Lakes Development State Environmental Assessment Worksheet. QlQIQIQIQI7
