orthwester~~ College aster Plan oseville, Mi esota Supple ent findings of Fact Conclusions of L,aw And Order 29. During construction, the project may generate dust. Potential environment effects due to fugitive dust will not create a risk of significant environmental impact. Any potential effects will be mitigated by sweeping and watering of construction sites and limiting the duration of digging, backfilling, and boring. 30. The State Flistoric Preservation Office of the Minnesota Historical Society identified two historic features in the area surrounding the project site, but neither of the historic sites are adjacent to the project area. Due to their distance from the College, the project will not impact these historic features. 31. The closest designated public park is approximately 1/4 mile from the project area. Due to its distance and location, the College expansion will not have an impact on the park. 32. By removing some plant materials and increasing the amount of lighting on campus, the project will alter the visual landscape. These visual impacts will not create the potential for significant environmental effects. Potential environmental impacts from removal of plant material will be minimized through landscaping standards and regulations in the City of Roseville and City of Arden Flills. Potential environmental impacts from lighting will be minimized by lighting standards and regulations in the City of Roseville and City of Arden Hills. The project will have to comply with the City's .5 foot candle limit on impacts on adjacent properties. 33. The project will not require expansion of existing public infrastructure or services and will not create the potential for significant environmental effects resulting from expansion of such public projects. Cumulative Potential Effects of Related or Anticipated Future Projects 34. There was no evidence produced during the EAW process that would demonstrate that past, present or reasonably foreseeable future projects in the geographically surrounding area would interact with the project to produce cumulative effects. Project mitigation measures for increased traffic consider and address the cumulative effect of area traffic growth from the College expansion and other growth. The Extent to Which the Environmental Effects Are Subject To Mitigation by Ongoing Public Regulatory Authority 35. The City of Roseville examined the permits this project would need before construction could proceed. The permits include, but are not limited to, the following: -6-
