Attach copies of each of the following to the EAW: See Exhibit No.5 a. a county map showing the general location of the project; See Figure 5.11 b copy(ies) of USGS 7.5 minute, 1:24,000 scale map (photocopy is OK) indicating the project boundaries; see Figure 5.2 c. a site plan showing all significant project and natural features; see Figure 5.3. 6. Description. Give a complete description of the proposed project and ancillary fa:lcilities (attach additional sheets as necessary). Emphasize construction and oJperation methods and features that will cause physical manipulation of the eJllvironment or produce wastes. Indicate the timing and duration of construction adivities. The proposed Gateway Business Park will be a commercia]Jindustrial business campus with four "build to suit" office/manufacturing buildings and a "multi-tenant" office warehouse building (see Exhibit No.5, Figure 5.3). The adjacent land uses which include industrial buildings and the freeway system suggest that a business campus development is appropriate for this location. The project is located in the northwest quadrant of the Interstate Highway 35W and State Highway 36 interchange. The site is bound by County Road B2 to the north, and the Highway 36 frontage road to the east and south. The northern portion of the site will be bound by Long Lake Road to the west which will be extended from County Road B2 to the frontage road along the south boundary of the development. An office building occupies the property west of where the warehouse/office building is planned, and light industrial buildings occupy property to the north. Redevelopment of this site will increase the tax base and provide opportunities for living wage jobs to area residents. The development will be designed to provide an attractive "Gateway" entrance to the City of Roseville. The buildings will face the freeway, Long Lake Road, and the pond area depending on the goals and objectives of the users. Some tenants may place a high priority on visibility to the freeway while other tenants will want to take advantage of the wetland/pond amenity. A master concept landscape plan will provide attractive green areas and landscaping consistent throughout the business campus. A tree survey was performed, and the data will be incorporated into the landscape plan. Trees will be preserved to the extent possible. An internal walking system will be provided with a sidewalk along the Long Lake Road extension. This sidewalk could be linked to the City trail system at County Road B2. Construction of the first building may begin during the summer 1997 with construction of a "build to suit" office/manufacturing building on the north parcel. Opus plans to begin construction of the warehouse office building in August or September 1997. Opus anticipates that all of the buildings will be completed by mid-1999. 1 Exhibits have been numbered to correspond to the Item Number of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet form and placed at the back of this EAW. For example, the three e:mibits required by Item No.5 have been numbered Figures 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 and will be found after the EAW text behind a gray sheet entitled "Exhibit No.5." 236241)8 \ 48185-1Il'MN 2
