Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 13, 2007 Page 28 date document for the Twin Lakes Business Park until the August 27, 2007 regular business meeting. Roll Call Ayes: Ihlan; Pust; Kough; Roe; and Klausing. Nays: None. e. Citizen Petition -City Response to Citizen Petition for an Envi- ronmental Assessment Worksheet on Oak Acres Interim Community Development Director for the City of Roseville, Mike Darrow, presented staffls recommendation for the citizen peti- tion received by the EQB on the proposed Art Mueller subdivision, calling for an EAW for "Oak Acres" proposed for 2201 Acorn Road. Mr. Darrow provided the petition and EQB cover letter dated July 23, 2007, as a bench handout, noting that the EQB determined that the City of Roseville was the appropriate governmental unit (RGU) to de- termine the need for an EAW. It was staff's analysis that the proposed four-lot publicly sewered residential subdivision by Art Mueller was exempt from environ- mental review; and that the subject property didn't lie within ashore- land area, a delineated floodplain, state or federally designed wild and scenic river district, the Minnesota River Project, or the Mississippi headwaters area. Staff therefore recommended, in consultation with the City Attorney, adoption of a resolution denying the citizen petition for an EAW, based on analysis as outlined. Extensive discussion ensued regarding staff's basis for determination that no portion was in a shoreland area; definition of a shoreland dis- trict or overlay district in the City of Roseville; applicable Minnesota State Statue related to residential subdivisions and environmental re- view; and the City Attorney's reliance on staff to review maps and designations for that area related to flood plains and shorelands, and consultations with the EQB, and their subsequent determinations.
