BACKGROUND: �.7 On August 12,2001, the City Council held a public hearing, took public testimony and adopted the Twin Lakes AUAR as the planning and environmental tool for redevelopmentwithin the 280 acres study area. The State Environmental Quality Board (EQB) rules require a"post 5 year" review of each approved AUAR. The deadline to begin such a review is August 12,2006 — to be completed within one year. '?.� What must be done in the 5 year review of the AUAR for Twin Lakes is an update of completed portions of the AUAR described development that lists and describes: � All approvals and build-outs to date noting consistency with (or abovelbelow} the AUAR thresholds, noting all issues which are less than, equal to or exceed the AUAR � The land uses changed beyond the limits of the AUAR • Traffic changed beyond the limits estimated in the AUAR � Mitigations - management for quality andlo�' storage capacity beyond what was anticipated in the concept of the original AUAR plan. � The remainder of the site from Fairview to Snelling, and from C-2 to Brenner where very few changes have occurred. The update is not an overhaul of the existing AUAR. Our staff and consultants will go back to the original final AUAR document and highlight what has been changed during the 5 years, and how that may have changed the mitigation procedures. Our procedure will be to create a digital document that can be posted on web sites or copied to CDs. Staff will not rewrite the entire document. Issues relating to traffic, ttYrnin� movements and new capacity on recently rebuilt County Road C must be done in a traffic model, (preferably the city's new model) or one developed by a traffic consultant such as SRF, Noise and air quality issues, changes in sewer and sanitary and storm water quality and capacity are also normally consultant issues. An estimate of the consultant time and cost is essential and can be done.
