Councilmember Ihlan questioned considerations provided by the developer for the oak grove natural habitat, and identification by the Metropolitan Council during the AUAR review and comment period, that the area should be preserved.

Three internal roadway configurations and cumulative impacts were reviewed: Configuration 1: Build Twin Lakes Parkway from Mount Ridge Road to Prior Avenue Configuration 2: Build Twin Lakes Parkway from Cleveland to Prior Avenue Configuration 3: Build Twin Lakes Parkway from Cleveland to Fairview Avenue Mr. Vaughn advised that, with identified projects, the intersection of County Road C and Fairview Avenue would continue to operate unacceptably, and recom- mended Configuration 3 to address the poor level of services.
