growing population will result in an increased need for housing. Properties adjacent to the Project site are currently zoned for single-family residential use and as a result will likely be looked at as potential sites for development. Due to the lengths of planning and design any adjacent developments likely will not occur during the same timeframe as the construction of the Project. Following construction, the Project is not anticipated to contribute to any additional environmental effects resulting in cumulative potential effects. Therefore, the Project is not anticipated to contribute to any significant environmental effects due to cumulative effects. In addition to the potential environmental impacts addressed by items 1 to 18, the economic and sociological impacts of the project were considered. The economic and social impacts of the project on the local community are anticipated to be beneficial by bringing additional housing opportunities and property/sales tax income following construction. 2.4.3 Extent to which the Environmental Effects are Subject to Mitigation by Ongoing Public Regulatory Authority The mitigation of environmental impacts will be designed and implemented in coordination with regulatory agencies and will be subject to the plan approval and permitting process. Permits and approvals that have been obtained or may be required prior to project construction are outlined below: Lait of government T� a Of 2PPUCatiOU Status ' .WhInesata Pollution Control INMES Constmetion To be Submitted enct' ddPCAi Stormxaty Permit Wedand C'anserwation Ac+ - Submitted and approved lVetland Delineation lVedand Conservation Act - To be Submitted Cit� of0k&var T�'etland Re lacementPian Flood lain Permit 356 by Submitted (i' needed) Buildin — Residential To be Submitted Sewer and Water To be Submitted Minnesota Jepartmentof JlatwAppropriations To be Submitted (if needed) Natural Resolar: es (MhDAR) 2.4.4 Extent to which Environmental Effects can be Anticipated and Controlled as a Result of Other Environmental Studies The City of Elk River has previous single-family and mixed residential development experience, and similar projects have been designed and constructed within the community. The closes similar projecting immediately abuts the project on the north boundary. Design and construction staff are familiar with the project area. No problems are anticipated in which staff has not encountered and successfully solved previously in similar projects in or near the project area. The city finds that the environmental effects of the project can be anticipated and controlled as a result of environmental review and experience on similar projects.
