Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities <br />The creation of new residential subdivisions in the area will increase the demand for <br />sidewalks and bicycle trails along the surrounding arterials such as County Road 6, Spring <br />Hill Road and East Long Lake Road. <br />Conclusion <br />The proposed Spring Hill Golf Club development is not expected to have significant traffic <br />impacts in terms of the need for capacity upgrades. However, the additional traffic <br />generated by the development may result in the need for repair or structural rehabilitation <br />of existing local roadways, or the need for safety related improvements, such as left turn <br />lanes or left turn bypass lanes. Based on the current plans, the current rear driveway will <br />be replaced with a new driveway connection to Spring Hill Road. A new driveway to the <br />maintenance facility will be required on Tamarack. The remaining roadways currently have <br />excess capacity to accommodate the projected volumes of traffic adequately. With the <br />exception of several permanent employees, traffic will not be generated for <br />approximately 6 months per year because the golf course will be closed. <br />23. Vehicle-related air emissions Provide an estimate of the effect of the project's traffic <br />generation on air quality, including carbon monoxide levels. Discuss the effect of traffic <br />improvements or other mitigation measures on air quality impacts. (If the project involves <br />500 or more parking spaces, consult "EAW Guidelines" about whether a detailed air quality <br />analysis is needed.) <br />Based on projected traffic levels, minimal impacts to overall air quality in the area are <br />anticipated. According to Environmental Quality Board guidance documents no further air <br />quality analysis is required. <br />24. Stationary source air emissions Will the project involve any stationary sources of air <br />emissions (such as boilers or exhaust stacks)? _ Yes JL No <br />If yes, describe the sources, quantities, and composition of the emissions: the proposed <br />air pollution control devices; the quantities and composition oi the emissions after <br />treatment: and the effects on air quality. <br />25. WII the project generate dust, odors, or noise during construction and/or operation? <br />X Yes _ No <br />If yes, describe the sources, characteristics, duration, and quantities or intensity, and any <br />proposed measures to mitigate adverse impacts. Also identify the locations of sensitive <br />receptors in the vicinity and estimate the impacts on these receptors. <br />Noise will be generated by project construction. The construction activity is not expected <br />to generate unusual or excessive volumes of construction noise. Construction activities <br />will be limited to normal daylight hours to minimize noise impacts to adjacent areas. No <br />significant noise impacts from the project are anticipated to neighboring areas. <br />Dust will be controlled by the application of water to minimize the potential for dust to be <br />created. Dust levels will be monitored during construction. <br />No odors are expected as a result of construction of the project.
