restaurant, and an additional hotel. The development changes differ ITom the estimates within the BRW study by the following amounts: . The proposed development has increased by 52,973 square feet compared to the BRWevaluation. This is an increase of8.5%. . The proposed development is expected to generate 6,823 daily trips. This represents a decrease of 566 trips per day ITom the BRW estimates for a decrease of7.7%. . The proposed development is expected to generate 824 PM peak hqur trips. This represents an increase of36 trips during the PM peak hour ITom the BRW estimates for an increase of4.6%. The BRW study volumes were u~ed as the base line to measure the antiCipated imp~cts ttomincreased traffic associated with the development along this section of Cleveland Avenue. Theu-study finding was, "there are expected to'be no significant traffic impacts associated with the proposed CentrePointe development. The minor impacts identified in this analysis are attributed to background conditions and would be expected to occur with or without the Centre Pointe development." Since the propOsed Centre Pointe Business Park development is expected to generate slightly more PM peak hour traffic than was estimated by BRW for this site, it is anticipated that t~e operation of the surrounding intersections not change.. In conclusion, we offer the following: . The proposed businesses are expected to gerierate slightly more traffic during the PM peak hour, but less daily traffic, thantheBRW study had estimated and evaluated for this site on Cleveland Avenue within their study. . . It is anticipated that the proposed development will not adversely impact the . , intersections in the area and they will operate within the ranges indicated by the BRW report. AirINoise Ouality As part of the original EAW a study of potential impacts of vehicle related air and noise emissions was contacted by Braun Intertec. Based on the above traffic analysis and the reduced traffic volumes outlinedih the orig'inal EAW, RLK concludes that there will be no adverse impact to the existing air and noise quality in the area. The MPCA will make a final determination during the review of the ISP. Stormwater ManagementlWetland Impacts.,. . . . The proposed site will be developed with approximately 70% impervious surface. The development of the site will be consistent with the original design data prepared byRLK as part of the master grading and stormwater management. . .' . The overall drainage patterns will be consistent with the original design calculations. . The proposed design will collect stormwater discharge into an existing retention pond to the
