Department Ap roval � �� - �� � REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION Agenda Date: OS/11/2015 Agenda Item: 14.e City Manager Approval Item Description: Request by the Community Development Department to approve the Roseville Environmental Review Worksheet rela�ed to the HR LLC (TPI Hospitality) project at 2750 Cleveland Avenue BACKGROUND . On December 8, 2014, the City Council approved the Roseville Environmental Review 2 Worksheet (ERW) as the replacement for the voluntary Environmental Assessment Worksheet 3 (EAW) process that was previously required for all projects within the Twin Lakes � Redevelopment Area. The ERW is similar to the EAW in its provision of project details and � environmental considerations and is administered by the Planning Division. � On March 11, 2015, the Planning Division received the HR LLC (TPI Hospitality) ERW related � to the hotel developments at 2750 Cleveland Avenue (Attachment A). The ERW was emailed to .. appropriate staff at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS), Minnesota Pollution Control 9 Agency (MPCA), Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and the Ramsey County � o Traffic Engineer. �� DNR and FWS replied that they had no comment after their review of the ERW. The Ramsey � 2 County Traffic Engineer commented that the County's main concern is the proposed right �.� in/right out access to Cleveland Avenue and that County representatives have met with the �� developer and have denied access to Cleveland Avenue. Therefore, page 4 of the Environmental � 5 Review Document should reflect the access denial. The MPCA provided a review similar in �� nature to an EAW review (Attachment B) and asked for more general information and/or �? clarification. The MPCA did not request additional environmental analysis or investigation. �g The project is still required to proceed through the appropriate MPCA environmental clean-up �.� approval process. Other comments from the MPCA were alerting the applicant to requirements 2� related to storm water treatment and erosion control that will be addressed by the City Engineer 2 � and the Rice Creek Watershed through the approval of construction plans. 2.2 Given the comments from the MPCA, the City Planner requested the applicant respond to a 23 number of the MPCA comments; those responses are attached (Attachment C). 2=: PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMENDATION 2.� Per Resolution 11198 the City Council is required to approve the ERW in order to allow staff to 2� issue permits related to the project. Since none of the agencies contacted have indicated a need 2� for additional environmental review and identified no significant issues, the Planning Division is 2� recommending that the City Council acknowledge the information provided in the HR LLC (TPI 2� Hospitality) ERW and the applicant's response to the MPCA's comments meet this requirement, 3o thus allowing staff to begin the process of issuing permits related to the project. 3i PF14-29 2750Cleveland RCA ERW OS1115.doc Page 1 of 2
