Also, under 900.42, 4.v: "Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons or property because of excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations." In #23, the EAW requires an Indirect Source Permit. The ISP should be completed and reviewed before any work begins on this proposed project. As the EAW states in #32 - "The critical issue of this development is the traffic increase." An unofficial review of the referenced Traffic Study by an MnDOT traffic engineer indicates that this area will suffer"gridlock" do to the inability to handle the increased traffic even with the suggested improvements mentioned in the Traffic Study. With the proximity of schools to this proposed project, it is imperative that the Indirect Source Permit be completed and that the Traffic Study and recommendations be further reviewed. 3. Considering the impact on the proposed area due to water drainage, traffic, noise,and pollution, and the proximity of schools and residential areas, it is strongly requested that an Environmental Impact Study be completed before any construction activity is • allowed. It is further recommended that the City prohibit the clearing on this property of trees. brush, and other natural landscaping until all issues relating to this proposed development are resolved.
