MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD FEBRUARY 20,1997 • <br />Gaffron noted that Hennepin County Department of Transportation will be reviewing the <br />EAW and will also address the traffic issues. <br />Gustafson added that the Tamarack and County Road 6 intersection is a safety consideration. <br />There may need to be some safety improvements such as turn lanes. This should be part of <br />the CUP review process. <br />Flint requested that "no impact" be changed because there will be some impact. Braman <br />responded that on page 15, the Conclusion does not say there will be "no" impact but that <br />it is "not significant ". <br />Gustafson commented there was no discussion about safety. Moorse suggested wording that <br />would include "no significant increase regarding capacity but the potential need for upgrades <br />and safety improvements ". Braman responded that other sections regarding infrastructure <br />would refer to the issues of road quality and safety. <br />Flint pointed out that Question 29 states that no improvements or additional infrastructure <br />will be required off -site. Moorse responded there would be changes in the response. Braman <br />noted that soil borings will be done to study the structural integrity of Spring Hill Road. • <br />8. Water quality - wetlands.

Braman commented the <br />reviewing agencies would understand the Integrated Pest Management practices and would <br />not need further description. This plan describes the process of when chemicals are applied. <br />Since the EAW is also to put the public on notice, it might be beneficial to include a brief <br />description of Pest Management practices. <br />Goetten questioned how citizens would get a copy of the EAW. Gaffron responded that the <br />project proposers would be providing numerous copies to the City and libraries. Citizens <br />could check out a copy from the City offices for a short period of time. <br />Flint suggested that Long Lake water quality information be added. Braman responded that <br />the Summary describes water as it currently hits the site and as it is projected to leave the <br />site. Flint added that since 1992 the water quality has been substantially improved and the <br />4 is <br />
