The oraginal AUAR for the study area was adopted by the City in 2001. Pursuant to Minnesota Rules 4410.3610 Subp. 7, for the AUAR to remain valid as the environmental '� review document for the area, the document needs to be updated every five years until all development in the area has received final approval. Since portions of the study area still I remain undevelo ed and the AUAR ex ired, the ur ose of this AUAR U date document is P P P P P I � to update the environmental review pursuant to Minnesota Rules. I � The AUAR Update (dated December 9, 2011) was developed and included the same � development scenarios and densities as the original AUAR. The AUAR Update was reviewed by City Staff and representatives of the developers. It was then submitted for the required 10-day comment period, which ended December 28, 2011. The Minnesota Department of Transportation and Pollution Control Agency indicated they did not have any comments. The Metropolitan Council and Scott County provided I I comments. Responses to comments have been developed and are included in the attached memo to the agencies. The comments received and the associated responses are part of �� ' the public record and the AUAR Update. While comments have been received, there were no objections to the AUAR Update. I '�, i Therefore, the City can move forward and consider adoption of the AUAR Update. By I adopting the AUAR Update, any development that is proposed within the study area will need to meet the mitigation measures outlined in the document, be within the density i analyzed in the AUAR, and take into account the responses to comments as necessary.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation and Pollution Control Agency indicated they did not have any comments. The Metropolitan ' Council and Scott County provided comments. Responses to comments have been i developed and are included in this memo. The comments received and the associated I responses are part of the public record and the AUAR Update. I Comments from Met Council I Comment 1: Table 10-2 listing the acreage of each type of cover on the Minnesota � Valley West site...should note that the sum of the acreages in the existing column I exceeds the total for the site. I Response: This was a typo in the table. The correct existing conditions � acreages for Minnesota Valley West are as follows: I Cultivated land: 46 ac � Impervious surface: 22 ac I Stormwater ponds: 7 ac I � Comment 2: The water demand estimates in the AUAR should be consistent with I I the water demand estimates reported in the Shakopee Public Utilities Commission I h:Icc1201211-17-121auar update memo_010312 agency.doc i � � December 29 2011 ' Page 2 of S i water supply plan and use a 2.8 ratio instead of a 2.1 ratio. ; Response: Based on the Shakopee Public Utilities (SPU) 2008 Water Supply Plan projected maximum day demand to average day demand ratio of 2.8, maximum day water demand from Shenandoah Business Park and ' � Minnesota Valley West upon full development would be 274, 109 gpd and 177,377 gpd. � � Comment 3: Item 28 - Impact on Infrastructure and Public Services. The AUAR Update's use of the unspecified single maximum day water demand of 1Q.7 mgd does not accurately represent the range in demand that the water system experiences (12.4 mgd in 2005 and 12.3 mgd in 2003). ' , ' Response: 2011 average day demand was 5.2 mgd and 2011 maximum day demand was 10.7 mgd resulting in a maximum day to average day demand , I ratio of 2.06. Since 2011 has been a wet year and past years' maximum day water demands have been greater than 2011 maximum day demand, ' projected maximum day demand estimates were based on the Shakopee , Public Utilities (SPU) 2008 Water Supply Plan projected maximum day demand to average day demand ratio of 2.8. Upon full development of Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Valley West, Shakopee's projected � maximum day demand would be increased to 15.01 mgd (10,424 gpm). SPU's supply and storage capacity is adequate to serve Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Valley West estimated water demands u on full I P development. i Comment 4: The AUAR update does not mention that the Minnesota Valley West '' site is located in the City of Shakopee's Drinking Water Supply Management Area. � This designation should be noted. ' � � Response: It is noted that the Minnesota Valley West site is located within the City's Drinking Water Supply Management Area. � � I i Comment 5: Item 18- Wastewater: The AUAR Update should be corrected to reflect that a sanitary sewer connection permit is not required. A sewer connection permit I is only required if the project proposes to make a direct physical connection to a '', MCES interceptor. � Response: This correction is noted. I Comment 6: There is discrepancy between the sewer connections proposed by the � Shenandoah Business Park site and the City's Comprehensive Sewer Plan. The i sewer districts presented in the Comprehensive Sewer Plan need to be corrected to I� reflect the direction of flow produced by the two separate connection. Response: This correction is noted and the City's Comprehensive Sanitary � I � 'i 'i i __ _ _ _ _ _ _ December 29, 2011 Page 3 of S Sewer System Plan will be revised to reflect this when updated. ' Comment 7; Item 19- Geologic Hazards and Soil Conditions. The Shenandoah Business Park is underlain by Prairie du Chien dolostone. Council staff encourages extraction of the available aggregate resources (excluding lands also surficially '� identified as Regionally Significant Ecological Areas) prior to further urbanization as proposed. '� Response: City Staff has reviewed this comment. While it is acknowledged ! that there may be available aggregate in the area, mining the area would not be a compatible use for the owner of the property nor be conducive to , protecting noted cultural resources or habitat within or adjacent to the site. Comment 8: Item 21- Traffic: The AUAR Update does not discuss transit ability. There is a circulator service that comes within OS miles of the site that could be ' coordinated with other circulator service. Response: To clarify Met Council's comment, Route 496 is the City's I Circulator and the BlueXpress is the 490. Transit needs will be assessed as ' development occurs in the area. At this time it is not anticipated that the proposed AUAR area will have a need for direct transit service. Comment 9: Mitigation Summary and Update: This section of the AUAR Update '. indicates that visual impacts to The Landing will be mitigated through appropriate ' landscaping and lighting design. The Met Council and Three Rivers Park District ' (the current owners of The Landing) concur with this approach and encourage the � City to ensure that the developer complies with this requirement. ' Response: This comment is noted. No response is necessary. �' � Comment 10: Miti ation Summar and U date: The AUAR U date acknowled es g Y P P g , that the Shenandoah Business Park has been identified as a Regionally Significant ' Ecologicai Area. The cover types noted in Table 10-1 indicate than none of the i existing 7.9 acres of wooded/forest and 72.1 acres of the brush/grassland will remain after development. The Council encourages communities to use the ' I Regionally Significant Natural Resource and Ecological Area to foster development that is more sensitive to the environment. , I � ; Response: The City will take this into consideration in its implementation of the mitigation measures outlined in the AUAR regarding the Regionally �, � Si nificant Ecolo ical Area. ' g g , Cornments from Scott Countv ' Comment 1: A signal was suggested as part of the mitigation for the intersection of , 4th and CH 83. A roundabout would also need to be evaluated at this intersection. � � _ I I � December 29, 2011 Page 4 of 5 Any signal would require coordination and interconnect with the CH 83 f CH 101 ' signal and rail road crossing. Response: An Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE), including analysis of a �' roundabout and interconnection would be completed prior to completion of � any improvement at the CSAH 83 and 4th Avenue intersection. � , Comment 2: The developments need to dedicate the appropriate right-of-way for the recommended road improvements in the AUAR. , Response: If further platting is required with development in the study area, this can be addressed through that review process. �' � Comment 3: The County's Policy is to have trails/sidewalk on both sides of County ; roadways constructed with development of property. The County's trail gap � analysis indicates a need for trail/sidewalk along both CH 101 and CH 83. The I AUAR should discuss trails to serve the pedestrian access to property and their need �, along both local and County roads. Response: The AUAR is not intended to be a development specific document i� and as such, specific design details are not included. Therefore, if further ' platting is required, the trails and sidewalks would be addressed through � that process. Comment 4: Development of the parcels drive the need to for the necessary road ' improvements, such as the signal/major reconstruction needed at 4th and CH 83. ! There is no discussion/suggestions on how to fund the needed road improvements. j We assume the City will require the developer to install/fund the needed improvements. ! � � Response: As indicated in the previous comments, the AUAR is not a , j development specific document nor is funding of improvements typically , ' analyzed. In the event that further platting is required, these concerns would '� � be addressed though that review process. i ,� � Comment 5: There are two lots along CH 83 directly south of the Minnesota Valley � West parcel as part of the Minnesota Valley West 2nd Addition. These parcels have ' direct access to CH 83. It was recommended at the time of their creation that the i . parcels work with the existing Minnesota Valley West to provide access through its I i � property to 4th Ave for the Minnesota Valley West 2�d Addition parcels, and also , remove their existing driveway access to CH 83. This should be part of the updated � i AUAR and added to any traffic numbers that the 2°d Addition may generate onto 4th ' Ave. '; I �� December 29, 2011 Page 5 of 5 I Response: As indicated in the previous comments, the AUAR is not a development specific document. The issue of cross easements and closing driveways would be addressed in the event that further platting is required. Comment 6: Transit service has changed significantly for this area since the 2001 AUAR. The County and City have been working together since that time to ' implement transit to serve both local and regional needs. There is no mention of these transit services in the AUAR update. A description of available transit should � be included with the AUAR update, along with potential opportunities to serve the � local businesses that may develop on the property. � Response: There is a circulator service that comes within 0.5 miles of the site. Transit needs will be assessed as development occurs in the area. At this , time it is not anticipated that the proposed AUAR area will have a need for direct transit service. � The comments and responses above are included as part of the public record for the AUAR � Update and are incorporated into the AUAR Update by reference. Development in the , study area will need to adhere to the original AUAR analysis, the AUAR Update, and the � responses to comments. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (763) 287- 7196. � I � I I I � 1 � I , � I � i � ' I i �� I I I �� I _— — - — — — — - — — RESOLUTION NO. 7160— A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA AUTHORIZING THE ADOPTION OF THE SHENANDOAH BUSINESS PARK AND MINNESOTA VALLEY WEST � ALTERNATIVE URBAN AREAWIDE REVIEW (AUAR) UPDATE WHEREAS, an AUAR Update has been completed for the project pursuant to Minnesota Rules 4410 which identifies and assesses the environmental impacts and mitigation measures associated with the Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Valley West area; and WHEREAS, the AUAR was updated pursuant to Minnesota Rule 4410.3610; and WI�EREAS, the AUAR Update was distributed for the required l 0-day comment period; and WHEREAS, comments received on the AUAR have generated information adequate to determine mitigation measures associated with the potential development in this area; and � WHEREAS, the comments received and the City's responses to these comments are included in the public record for the AUAR; and � WHEREAS, the City has generated appropriate responses to agency comments that were received, and those coinments and responses are a part of the public record for � purposes of the above —named AUAR update.

Introduction and Purpose i The Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Valley West herein referred to as the "Study , Area" is located in the City of Shakopee, Scott County, on approximately 187 acres (Shenandoah 'i Business Park-112 acres; Minnesota Valley West -75 acres). The Shenandoah Business Park , area is bordered on the north by County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 101, on the south by 4 i Avenue, on the east by Scherer Brothers Lumber and CertainTeed Corporation further east, and on the west by Sarazin Street and Shakopee Public Utilities. Shenandoah Drive passes through i the westerly portion of the site, connecting TH 101 on the north and 4 Avenue on the south. ' The Minnesota Valley West area is bordered on the north by 4 Avenue and by Kosovich Valley Park First Addition, on the south by Canterbury Park Racetrack, on the east by Canterbury Road (County Road 83), and on the west by Canterbury Park access roadway and undeveloped land (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). The City of Shakopee adopted a Final Alternative Urban Areawide Review (FAUAR) for the Study Area in 2001 (available for review on the City's website at http://www.ci.shakopee.mn.us/). Some development within the Study Area has occurred since the FAUAR was adopted in 2001. In particular, two of the three parcels included in the Minnesota Valley West area have been � developed for a total of 390,000 square feet (SF) of building space. It is anticipated that additional new development within the Study Area will commence in 2012 and continue for the � next 10 to 15 years. Pursuant to Minnesota Rules 4410.3610 Subp. 7, for the FAUAR to remain valid as the environmental review document forthe Study Area, the document needs to be � updated every five years until all development in the Study Area has received final approval. Since portions of this area still remain undeveloped, the City of Shakopee as the Responsible '! Government Unit has completed this AUAR Update pursuant to Minnesota Rules. , � I � II. Scenario Description The FAUAR adopted in 2001 included two development scenarios. Each scenario proposed to ' include 1.1 million square feet of floor space, and each of the sites were proposed to contain 'I access roadwa s arkin and loadin docks for trucks. Portions of the site have devel e � Y, p g. g o p d , since the adoption of the FAUAR in 2001, however no change to these scenarios is proposed for ! this FAUAR Update. The development scenario is shown on Figure 3 and indudes the following: , Shenandoah Business Park: United Land LLC is proposing to construct an office/warehouse � development on a 112-acre site that is currently undeveloped and brush/grassland. There ' are no wetlands on this site. The original scenario includes development of 1,161,000 gross �', � square feet, which consists of the following: ' I Shenandoah Business Park (United Land LLC) I Low Office Alternative High Office Alternative Gross Square Office (14%) Warehouse (86%) Office (50%) Warehouse I Footage (GSF) (50%) � 1,161,000 sf 162,540 sf 998,460 sf 580,500 sf 580,500 sf �, Minnesota Valley West: Opus Northwest LLC. is proposing to construct an I office/warehouse development on a 75-acre site. The site has been graded and contains two , buildings that have been constructed since the 2001 AUAR. Prior to grading and � I �'� � I Final Alternative Urban Areawide Review Update page 1 �, Shenandoah Business Po�k and Minnesota Vplley West I City of Shakopee, MN I WSB Project No. 1756-060 Decem6er 2011 I � construction , the site formerly included a farmstead with a two-story home and several out I buildings, a grass airstrip and taxi area, several rye grass fields, pine plantations, and some small deciduous woodlots. There are no wetlands on this site. The original scenario includes development of 1,160,000 gross square feet, which consists of the following: Minnesota Valley West (Opus Northwest L.L.C.)

However, since the 50% office use in the Shenandoah Business Park area and the 14% office use in the Minnesota Valley West area provide a"worst case scenario" for ossible im acts onl this scenario was reviewed. p p , Y III. Update to the Original 2001 FAUAR Environmental Review Since the FAUAR was adopted in 2001, development has occurred within the Study Area. Approximately 31 acres of the 75 acre site of the Minnesota Valley West (Opus Northwest, ' LLC.) land has developed. ConAgra Foods Inc. currently occupies a 232,000 square foot {SF) office/warehouse building on the westernmost portion of the Minnesota Valley West area, while COKeM International LTD., an office/warehouse use, occupies 158,000 square feet of building space on northeastern portion of the Minnesota Valley West area. This update to the FAUAR includes brief background information and an update to specific sections of the 2001 FAUAR and an update ofthe mitigation measures as needed. Only sections , requiring an update are included in this report. The analysis that was completed with the 2001 � FAUAR remains valid unless updated in this report. A copy of the 2001 FAUAR is available from � the City of Shakopee upon request and is available on the City's website ( h tt p://www. c i. s h a ko pee. m n. u s/). �� Item 6: Project description � � One development scenario has been analyzed as part of the FAUAR Update. This scenario is the ' same "worst case scenario" as analyzed in the 2001 FAUAR. This scenario includes proposed I office/warehouse type development on approximately 187 acres of land total. Development , within the Study Area could include up to a total of 2,321,000 SF of office/warehouse with associated parking areas and access roads. This scenario assumes 50% office and 50% I warehouse land use within the Shenandoah Business Park and 14% office and 86% warehouse within the Minnesota Valley West area. It is anticipated that additional new development within the Study Area will commence in 2012 and continue for the next 10 to 15 years. j Final Alternative Ur6an Areawide Review Update Page 1 Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Valley West j City of Shokopee, MN WSB Project No. 1756-060 December 2011 � � L i Item 7: Project Magnitude The Study Area is a total of 187 acres with 112 acres in the Shenandoah Business Park (United I Land LLC) and 75 acres in the Minnesota Valley West (Opus Northwest, LLC.). The development within the Shenandoah Business Park could include up to 580,500 SF of office use and 580,500 SF of warehouse use for a total development of 1,161,000 SF. I Two buildings have already been constructed on the Minnesota Valley West property that include a total of 17,400 SF office use and 372,600 SF of warehouse use. The development remaining within the Minnesota Valley West property could include up to 145,000 SF of office use and 625,000 SF of warehouse use for a total development of 1,160,000 SF.

The Shenandoah property is surrounded by land that is zoned light industrial, heavy industrial, major recreation, highway business, agricultural preservation, and an area of urban residential to the south. The Minnesota Valley West property is surrounded by land that is zoned heavy industrial and major recreation. Historical land use has not changed since the 2001 FAUAR with the exception of a light industrial building being constructed just north and west of the Shenandoah property. A vacant parcel of land is zoned major recreation currently exists south of the Shenandoah property. 7here is no known existing orfuture plans for development of this site. ltem 10: Cover Types An updated cover types map is shown on Figure 4. The following tables have been updated using the most recent Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS) data from the DNR and current existing conditions within the Study Area. The existing cover types include the following: Table 10-1: Shenandoah Business Park Existing and Proposed Cover Types Cover Type Existing Proposed (acres) (acres) ' Wetlands 0 0 Wooded/Forest 7.9 0 Brush/Grassland 72.1 0 Cropland/Cultivated 26.2 0 Lawn/Landscaping 0 10 Impervious Surfaces 5.8 84 Stormwater Ponds 0 18 Total Area 112 112 Table 10-2: Minnesota Valley West Existing and Proposed Cover Types Cover Type Existing Proposed (acres) (acres) Wetlands 0 0 Wooded/Forest 0 0 Brush/Grassland 0 0 Cropland/Cultivated 43 0 Lawn/Landscaping 48 16 � Impervious Surfaces 22 52 � Road Right of Way 0 0 Stormwater Ponds 7 7 I Total Area 75 75 Item 11: Fish, Wildlife, and Ecologically Sensitive Resources Figure 5 shows the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) and DNR Public Waters map.

The information from DNR Natural Herita e Database ro ram A endix B ) g p g ( pp ) indicates there are no rare features within or adjacent to the Study Area. � Additional coordination with the DNR's Natural Resource specialist indicated that there were , historical records of nesting loggerhead shrike in the vicinity of the Study Area (see Appendix B). The loggerhead shrike is a state-listed threatened bird species that prefers dry upland prairie or , open grassland with scattered hedgerows, shrubs, and small trees. The original AUAR indicated that a field survey for loggerhead shrike of the Shenandoah Business Park site was conducted in the spring of 2001 and no shrike activity or nests were noted during the survey. A mitigation ' measure has been added that states that an additional lo erhead shrike surve ma be gg Y Y required by the DNR as part of a development project if disturbance would be planned during the nesting season (April through July). The DNR also indicated that areas within the 5henandoah Business Park are identified by the DNR as a Regionally Significant Ecological Area. These areas have been identified using a landscape-scale assessment based on the size and shape of the ecological area, land cover within the ecological area, adjacent land coverJuse, and connectivity to other ecological areas. The area is ranked as having a moderate ecological score on the east side of Shenandoah Drive ' and outstanding score on the west side of Shenandoah Drive. Further review ofthe datasets �, was completed for this AUAR Update and outlined below: � • The area has been relatively undisturbed since the 1950's with the exception of some i agriculture in the southeast and southwest corners of the project area and a road through central portion of the site. • The area is ranked as moderate and outstanding in the Regionally Significant Ecological ' Areas database (see Figure 11). The models used for this dataset are based on the 2008 Minnesota Land Classification System (MLCCS) assessment. ''� • The entire area was identified in the 2008 MLCCS as an altered/non-native grassland with sparse deciduous trees. There was no mention of native vegetation being present in the l 2008 assessment. � • The site has no biodiversity significance as defined in the Minnesota County Biological '� Survey (MCBS) dataset. Information from the MCBS program indicates that MCBS Sites that �' are found to be disturbed are retained in the layer as negative data and are given the Biodiversity Significance rank of "Below." Those disturbed areas within MCBS Sites and all I areas outside MCBS Sites are lands where native plant communities have been seriously I ' altered or destroyed by human activities such as farming, recent logging, draining, and I development. It was likely that this area was included in the original survey and a field visit � showed no biodiversity significance. � Overall, the site is 112 acres and does provide some habitat for wildlife. There area is mostly ' isolated by roads and development, but it could provide a wildlife corridor function between habitat to the south and the river corridor to the north. The area has been mostly undisturbed for at least 50 years and it is probable that there could be some native habitat present, albeit very low quality. The "moderate" ecological score is appropriate for this area because of its � , Final Altemative Urban Areawide Review Update Page 5 I Shenandoah eusiness Park and Minnesota Valley West City of Shakopee, MN W58 Project No. ll56-060 Decem6er 2011 I '� i function as habitat and its location as a corridor in proximity to the Minnesota River Valley. A mitigation measure has been added that states that development within the Shenandoah ' Business Park site will consider protecting an area of open space for wildlife habitat. ' The remaining analysis in the 2001 FAUAR remains valid. Item 13: Water Use The 2001 AUAR estimated average day water demand from the Shenandoah Business Park to be 97 896 allons er da d and 63 349 d from Minnesota Valle West. These estimates , g p Y �gp ) , gp Y were based on water demand of 110% of estimated wastewater flow. Wastewater flow estimate methodology is identified in Item 18 of the 2001 AUAR. Water demand projections and their basis remain valid. Maximum day water demand from Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Valley West upon full development was estimated to be 205,582 gpd and 133,033 gpd respectively. Estimates of maximum day water demand were based on the 2011 maximum day water demand (10.7 million gallons per day (mgd)) to 2011 average day water demand (5.2 mgd) ratio of 2.1 for I Shakopee Public Utilities (SPU). The remaining analysis in the 2001 AUAR remains valid. See Item 28 below for additional analysis and information. Item 16: Erosion and Sedimentation Any development within the study area will be required to obtain grading and erosion control permits from the City and the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District. Additionally, an NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit will be required from the MPCA and a Stormwater I � Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will need to be developed. Any development will meet the requirements of these agencies. Shenandoah Business Park: The original AUAR estimated 332,000 cubic- ards (c of Y Y) material to be graded over 112 acres for the Shenandoah Business Park site. Additional information has been analyzed related to site conditions and the type of grading that could be needed at the site. With this analysis, the estimate for grading on the site is 486,580 cy of material. This estimate was based on taking the site area to be graded and assuming that between 2-3 feet of grading would occur. Minnesota Vallev West: The original AUAR estimated 30,000 cy of material to be graded over 14-acres. Additional information has been analyzed related to site conditions and the type of grading that could be needed at the site. Approximately 45 acres of the 75 acre site remains to be graded. With this analysis, the estimate for grading on the site is 145,200 cy of material. This estimate was based on taking the site area to be graded and assuming that , approximately two feet of grading would occur. Item 17: Water Quality: Surface Water Use I Stormwater will be managed on-site to meet local and state requirements prior to discharge from the site. Water will ultimately flow the Minnesota River, which is listed as an impaired l Final Alternative Urban Areawide Review U dote Pa e 6 'I P 9 Shenandoah eusiness Park and Minnesota Valley West City of Shokopee, MN I W58 Project No. 1756-060 Decembe� 1011 ; water for mercury and dissolved oxygen. Development within the study area is not anticipated to have a negative impact on the impairments of the River. Shenandoah Business Park: Project development will increase impervious surface to a maximum of 75% of the site, but it will also create up to 18 acres of storm water ponding. Stormwater runoff from all impervious surfaces will be routed into on-site storm water ponds which will be constructed as part of the project. The ponds will discharge to the north for ultimate discharge to the Minnesota River via existing channels and culverts. The storm water ponds will be designed to be consistent with the Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP) guidelines and will conform to drainage criteria developed by the City of Shakopee. The site discharge rate will be limited to 0.3 cfs pertributary acre to the discharge point i from the site. The discharge rates from the site are not anticipated to exceed the existing conditions. On-site ponding will be required to meet the City's rate control � requirements. No increase in the rate of discharge off-site is anticipated as a result of development in the study area based on the storm water management system that will need to be included. I No decrease in the quality of site runoff is anticipated as a result of this project due to the pondfng that will be constructed to provide water quality treatment. Post- I development runoff is expected to be typical of light industrial development. The proposed on-site ponding will provide treatment of runoff before it flows off-site. Minnesota Vallev West: The site currently has storm water ponds in place that have been constructed to accommodate full development of the site and to treat water to I NURP guidelines. Additionally, the pond has been designed to provide rate control to 0.3 cfs per acre of the tributary area. The pond discharges to the north across 4tn Avenue for ultimate discharge to the Minnesota River via existing channels and culverts. I Because of the ponding, no increase in the rate of site runoff discharging to the north is i anticipated as a result of the project and local and state water quality requirements will be met. �I Item 18: Wastewater I The 2001 AUAR estimated average day wastewater flow to be 88,996 gallons per day (gpd) from ,� the Shenandoah Business Park and 57,590 gpd from Minnesota Valley West. These estimates were based on Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) Service Availability Charge � (SAC) Criteria for Commercial Properties. Wastewater flow projections and their basis remain i valid from the original AUAR. I Substantial development has occurred in the City since 2001. Also, a Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer System Plan (CSSP) update was completed in 2007 as part of the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, wastewater flow impacts were reevaluated with this AUAR Update with respect to the existing sanitary sewer system plan and conformance to the CSSP. I Shenandoah Business Park: The development lies within the North Shakopee (NS) sewer � district, as identified in the CSSP. Sewer service lines and sewer mains within the Final Alternative Urban Areawide Review Update ppge 7 Shenandoah Business Park pnd Minnesota Valley West City of Shakopee, MN I W58 Project No. 1756-060 December 2011 _ �i development will be sized in accordance with City of Shakopee design standards dependent upon the final building elevations, location, sizes, and uses. � Based on a review of recent plans, the wastewater generated by development east of Shenandoah Drive will be connected to a 24-inch trunk sewer flowing east along 4tn � Avenue from the intersection of Shenandoah Avenue and 4` Avenue, then north along the eastern property boundary to County Road 101 (CR 101). Wastewater generated by development west of Shenandoah Drive is planned to connect to a 10-inch sewer � flowing north along Sarazin Street. Existing wastewater flows were estimated within each of the existing sewers to which wastewater generated at Shenandoah Business Park would flow. Residential units within each sewershed and non-residential areas were determined based on a review of the City's GIS mapping. Record drawings were not available for all existing sewers that will be receiving wastewater from the Study Area. However, existing sewer invert I elevations, locations, and capacities will be verified at the time of final plat. Existing I wastewater flows per residential unit and non-residential area were based on MCES design standards of 274 gpd/unit and 800 gallons per acre per day (gpad) respectively.

Therefore, the existing 24-inch trunk sewer would have adequate capacity to serve the Shenandoah Business Park without limiting upstream future development in the sewershed assuming future development was similar to other non-residential development within Shakopee. , Wastewater generated by the Shenandoah Business Park will ultimately flow to MCES ', Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) for treatment and disposal, which has � an existing capacity of 42 million gallons per day (mgd) and is currently receiving 29.97 I mgd. Therefore, the existing WWTF has adequate capacity for treatment of wastewater generated by the development. Minnesota Valley West: The development lies within the North Shakopee (NS) sewer district, as identified in the CSSP. The sewer main collecting wastewater from the existing buildings is a 10-inch sewer along the south side of 4 Avenue from the western lot to CR 83 and connects to the existing 15-inch trunk sewer along County Road 83 (CR 83) approximately 200 feet south of the intersection of CR 83 and 4 Avenue. i I Existing wastewater flows within the existing 15-inch trunk sewer to which wastewater '� generated at Minnesota Valley West would flow were estimated. Non-residential areas were determined based on a review of the City's GIS mapping. Record drawings were not available for all existing sewers that will be receiving wastewater from the development, however existing sewer invert elevations, locations, and capacities will be verified at the time of final plat. Existing wastewater flows per non-residential area were based on MCES design standard of 800 gallons gpad. The existing 15-inch trunk sewer serves only non-residential properties. Existing average day wastewater flow in the 15-inch trunk sewer was estimated to be 189,020 gpd. Wastewater generated by the development was estimated to be 57,590 gpd, so existing wastewater flow and wastewater generated by the development were estimated at a combined average day flow of 247,510 gpd and 915,787 gpd peak hour flow upon full development. The existing 15-inch trunk sewer estimated capacity is approximately 1,616,000 gpd, therefore the existing trunk sewer has adequate capacity to serve Minnesota Valley West upon full development. I It should be noted record drawings were unavailable for sanitary sewer at Canterbury I Park, so it is unknown where wastewater generated at Canterbury Park enters the municipal sewer system. However, based on the estimated flow capacity remaining in the 15-inch trunk sewer along CR 83, the variable nature of size and type of events at Canterbury Park, and the timing of wastewater flows from Canterbury Park it is highly 'I unlikely that the additional wastewater generated at Canterbury Park when combined ', with wastewater generated by Minnesota Valley West will exceed capacity of the 15- inch trunk sewer along CR 83. , �,� Final Alternative Urban Areawide Review Updote Pp9e 9 I I Shenandoah eusiness Park and Minnesota Valley West I City of Shakopee, MN , W58 Project No. 1756-060 December 1011 I Based on City GIS data it appears there is additional land available for development , upstream of the 15-inch trunk sewer along CR 83 designated to have a land use of Entertainment according to the City's 2030 Land Use Plan.

Therefore, the year 2030 was assumed for the future year analyses. The 2030 background traffic was developed by factoring the existing 2011 traffic volume ' by a growth factor ranging from 0.5% to 3.5% per year. The growth factors related to each intersection's approaches were developed by comparing existing daily traffic , volumes to forecasted 2030 daily traffic volumes contained within Shakopee's current j Comprehensive Plan. Generally, CSAH 83 (Canterbury Road) traffic increased at a rate ' of 1.8% per year, CSAH 101 at 3.5% per year, and other segment at Q.5% to 1.0% per year.

The updated model differs from the 2001 FAUAR analysis in that the projected traffic volumes are higher, and also that the receptor is located 100 feet from CSAH 83 (the 2001 FAUAR assumed 250 feet). Item 25: Nearby Resources An updated request for data from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was obtained and is included in Appendix B. While there are nearby resources noted. The updated data , confirms the 2001 FAUAR's analysis that there are no known historic, archeological, or architectural resources within the Study Area. The original AUAR contained additional information and study about lithic scatter within the northern portion of the Shenandoah Business Park site. This information and related mitigation measures still remain valid with this AUAR Update. Item 27: Compatibitity with Local Plans The 2030 Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the City Council on August 18, 2009 and is consistent with the requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. The Plan was reviewed and approved by the Metropolitan Council, and was found to be consistent with Minnesota Rules 4410.3610, subpart 1, which requires all local comprehensive plans to address land use, transportation, and sanitary sewer systems and include an implementation plan. The FAUAR adopted in 2001 included two development scenarios of different development densities, but the same land uses. No change to these scenarios is proposed for this FAUAR Update. This scenario reflects the land use designation in the City of Shakopee Comprehensive Plan — Land Use Plan. Comprehensive Plan (2030) — Land Use Plan The Land Use Plan identified in the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan as shown in Figure � 10, guides the Study Area for Industrial land use. This land use category is defined as follows: I Light Industrial (11): The 11 Zone is intended to accommodate industrial, office, and manufacturing uses that are relatively unobtrusive, and which can serve as transitions between more intensive industrial sites and residential or other, less ' intense business uses. ', The Study Area is proposed as a mixture of office/warehouse use and is consistent with I the policies and land use outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. There is no need for a � Comprehensive Plan amendment for the proposed development in the Study Area. Zoning Ordinance I ', The Study Area is currently zoned as 11, Light Industrial. In Light Industrial Districts, the ; Zoning Ordinance permits the following uses: warehousing and wholesaling, research laboratories, establishments supplying goods or services primarily to industrial uses, agricultural uses, but limited to the growing of field crops, utility services, utility service Final Alternative Urban Areawide Review Update Page 17 Shenandoah eusiness Park and Minnesoto Valley West City of Shakopee, MN WSB Project No. 1756-060 December 2011 - II structures, offices within the principal structure and directly associated with another permitted use, public buildings, single and mixed use developments, and office buildings. There is no need for a rezoning or ordinance amendment for the proposed development in the Study Area. Metropolitan Council - 2030 Regional Development Framework (Adopted January 2004, Amended December 2006, Updated January 2007) Shakopee is designated as a Developing Area in the 2030 Regional Development Framework. This indicates that the Metropolitan Council anticipates growth and development in the City of Shakopee. The proposed development in the Study Area is consistent with the regional policies by encouraging expanded choices and improved access to jobs and opportunities, protecting locally significant natural resources, planning interconnected bicycle and pedestrian trails, as well as planning, coordinating, and investing in regional infrastructure. Lower Minnesota River Watershed District Third Water Mana�ement Plan The Lower Minnesota River Watershed District Third Water Management Plan was submitted to the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) for review and approval in October 2011 and is anticipated to be formally adopted in December 2011. The Plan was prepared in accordance with Minnesota Rules Chapter 8410, as administered by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. All development in the Study Area will be subject to the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District Management Plan that is adopted and in effect at the time of development and the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District rules that implement the plan. No inconsistencies between the proposed scenario and the Plan have been identified. Item 28: Impacts on Infrastructure and Public Services Average day water demands were to be 97,896 gallons per day (gpd) from Shenandoah Business Park and 63,349 gpd from Minnesota Valley West, for a combined total of 161,245 gpd. � Maximum day water demand from Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Valley West upon full development was estimated to be 205,582 gpd and 133,033 gpd respectively for a combined total of 338,615 gpd. Maximum day water demands are important for evaluation of Shakopee Public Utility's (SPU) water supply (well) capacity. The City's existing average day demand is 5.2 mgd or 3,611 gallons per minute (gpm), and the City's maximum day demand is 10.7 mgd (7,430 gpm). According to American Water Works Associated (AWWA), it is typical to recommend that the water systems have an approximate storage capacity equal to the average day demand plus a fire flow equalization amount. For purposes of this study, a fire flow of 3,500 gallons per minute for 3 hours (630,000 gallons) was added to the average day demand to determine the required storage capacity for the entire City. Therefore, 5,830,000 gallons is required for the SPU's water storage. Currently, SPU has approximately 9,250,000 gallons in elevated storage. � Final Alternotive Urban Areawide Review Update Ppge IS j Shenandoah Business Pork ond Minnesota Valfey West City of Shakopee, MN WSB Project No. 1756-060 December 1011 i I i I According to 10-State Standards, a water system should be able to provide a water supply in the amount of their peak day demands with their largest well out of service (firm capacity). SPU has a firm capacity of 17,150 gpm, with Well No. 16 having a capacity of 1,350 gpm out of service. Both the water storage and well supply capacities for SPU are sufficient for existing water demands. Upon full development of Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Valley West, Shakopee's average day water demand and maximum day water demand would be increased to approximately 5.36 mgd (3,723 gpm) and 11.04 mgd (7,664 gpm) respectively. Therefore, SPU's supply and storage capacity is adequate to serve the Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Valley West upon full development. Shenandoah Business Park: The 2001 AUAR indicated water main would be sized in accordance with SPU design standards and that due to the size of the development, 12-inch water mains would be necessary. Recent development plans appear to be in accordance with the 2001 AUAR, � therefore the 2001 AUAR remains valid. Final water main design, looping within the site, and connections to existing water mains will be reviewed by the City and SPU at the time of final plat to verify conformance to design standards. The 2001 AUAR indicated the area east of Shenandoah Drive would connect to the 24- inch trunk sewer located along 4 Avenue and the eastern property line, and the area west of Shenandoah might require lift stations to pump wastewater to existing sanitary sewers but did not specify which existing sanitary sewer it would be connected to. Based on a review of recent plans, wastewater generated by lots east of Shenandoah will generally connect to a 24-inch trunk sewer flowing east along 4` Avenue from the intersection of Shenandoah Avenue and 4`" Avenue, then north along the eastern property boundary to County Road 101 (CR 101). Wastewater generated by lots west of Shenandoah are planned to connect to a 10-inch sewer flowing north along Viking Steel Road. Some individually owned grinder pumps may be required to pump wastewater to sanitary sewers within the development, due to building elevations, but no centralized public lift stations has been proposed. Minnesota Valley West: I l i The 2001 AUAR indicates water and sanitary sewer infrastructure is in place to serve I existing and future buildings on the site. Sanitary sewer and water infrastructure is in ' place to serve existing buildings, but additional water main and sanitary sewer will need I to be constructed when future buildings are constructed. No utility plans were available I for construction of the future buildings. �, Based on existing sanitary sewer on the site, it is assumed wastewater from future I buildings will flow to a 10-inch sanitary sewer ultimately connecting to the existing 15- inch trunk sewer along CR 83, approximately 200 feet south of the intersection of CR 83 and 4 Avenue. Final sanitary sewer design and connections to existing trunk sewers will be reviewed at the time of final plat to verify the above described assumptions. Final Alternative Urban Areawide Review Update Page 19 Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Valley West City of Shakopee, MN WSB Project No. 1756-060 December 2011 , , � Water mains will be sized in accordance with SPU design standards. Currently there are i 12-inch water mains serving the existing buildings on-site. Due to the size of development and in accordance with SPU design standards, 12-inch water mains will be required to extend across the site in both the north-south and east-west directions, and all water mains will be looped. Water services from the 12-inch main will be sized as necessary depending upon building demands. Final water main design, looping within the site, and connections to existing water mains will be reviewed by the City and SPU at the time of final plat to verify conformance to design standards. Item 29: Cumulative Impacts The original AUAR did not address Cumulative Impacts. Since guidance on this item has changed over the years, it is discussed in this Update. When the original AUAR was completed, much of the surrounding area had already been developed. There was light industrial development around the Study Area and Canterbury Downs existed to the south. Since the original AUAR, the Shakopee Public Utilities constructed a new facility in the northwest corner adjacent to Shenandoah Business Park. The remaining area to develop near the Study Area is south of Shenandoah Business Park and west of Minnesota Valley West. This area is planned as Entertainment (see Figure 8). No specific plans are known for this area by the City. IV. Mitigation Summary and Update Many of the mitigation measures outlined in the 2001 FAUAR still remain valid. In some cases, additional analysis has been completed to reflect updated information and regulations. Updated mitigation measures from the 2001 FAUAR are outlined below and the original mitigation either remains in effect or has been updated as noted based on the new analysis. A. Traffic The traffic analysis update described in Item 21 identifies three key intersections that are expected to operate at an unacceptable LOS conditions for the 2030 Build scenario. Poor operations at the CSAH 83 / 4` Avenue intersection are directly affecting the operations at the 4 Avenue / Canterbury Park Drive intersection, causing it to fail. Correcting the conditions at the CSAH 83 / 4 Avenue intersection will also correct the conditions at the 4 Avenue / Canterbury Park Drive intersection. Also, constructing an additional westbound left-turn lane is anticipated to improve operations at the CSAH 83/12 Avenue intersection producing acceptable LOS conditions. The 2001 FAUAR identified several potential mitigation measures to improve traffic operations in the study area. These potential measures are still applicable to this AUAR Update. These measures include: 1. Addition of an eastbound right-turn or left-turn lane on 4 Avenue at the intersection of 4 Avenue with CSAH 83. Final Alternative Urban Areawide Review Update Page 10 Shenandoah eusiness Park and Minnesota Valley West City of Shakopee, MN WSB Project No. 1756-060 December 2011 2. Installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of 4 Avenue with CSAH 83. 3. Addition of a northbound left-turn lane on CSAH 83 at the intersection of CSAH 83 with 4 Avenue. 4. Addition of a southbound right-turn lane on CSAH 83 at the intersection of CSAH 83 with 4 Avenue. 5. Addition of raised concrete medians on CSAH 83. 6. Improvement of 4` Avenue from CSAH 17 to CSAH 83 to a three-lane urban section with center turning lane. B. Surface Water i Mitigation for potential impacts to water quality and quantity from development in the Study Area is controlled through requirements of the City, the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District, and the MPCA's NPDES Permit. The mitigation measures outlined in the original AUAR still apply. Shenandoah Business Park: The stormwater management system for Shenandoah '� Business Park will need to be constructed as part of development to meet the City, Watershed Management District and NPDES requirements to provide permanent treatment as discussed in this AUAR Update. Development will also be required to develop a SWPPP and implement these temporary Best Management Practices ' during construction. � Minnesota Valley West: The stormwater management system for Minnesota Valley West is already in place. No additional permanent stormwater mitigation measures , will be needed. However, any additional development will be required to develop a ' SWPPP and implement these temporary Best Management Practices during construction. , � C. Wastewater �, � Wastewater generated by the development in the study area will be typical of domestic sewage. ; The estimated average daily wastewater flow for both sites together is 146,586 gallons per day. '�, i� Shenandoah Business Park: Sanitary sewers will be constructed on the site and connected to existing municipal sanitary sewers to collect wastewater generated from i each of the lots, and ultimately transport it to the Blue Lake WWTF for treatment. ', Wastewater generated by lots east of Shenandoah will generally connect to a 24-inch trunk sewer flowing east along 4` Avenue from the intersection of Shenandoah Avenue I and 4` Avenue, then north along the eastern property boundary to County Road 101 I (CR 101). Wastewater generated by lots west of Shenandoah is planned to be connect , to a 10-inch sewer flowing north along Sarazin Street. Some individually owned grinder ' pumps may be required to pump wastewater to sanitary sewers within the development due to building elevations. ' � I I Final Alternative Urban Areawide Review Update Poge 21 ', Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Vailey West City of Shakopee, MN WSB Project No. 1756-060 December 2011 Minnesota Valley West: Sanitary sewers will be constructed on the site and connected to existing municipal sanitary sewers to collect wastewater generated from each of the ' lots, and ultimately transport it to the Blue Lake WWTF for treatment. Sanitary sewer is in place to serve existing buildings, but additional sanitary sewer will need to be constructed when future buildings are constructed. Based on existing sanitary sewer on the site, it is assumed wastewater from future buildings will flow to a 10-inch sanitary sewer ultimately connecting to the existing 15- , � inch trunk sewer along CR 83, approximately 200 feet south of the intersection of CR 83 and 4 Avenue. Final sanitary sewer design and connections to existing trunk sewers will be reviewed at the time of final plat to verify the above described assumptions. i � D. Water Svstem I Estimated average day water demand within the study area is estimated at 161,245 gallons per ' ' day for both sites. The maximum day water demand from both sites is 338,615 gallons per day. I Shenandoah Business Park: Water mains will need to be extended to provide water service. Water mains will be sized in accordance with Shakopee Public Utility (SPU) design standards. Due to the size of development and in accordance with SPU design '� standards, 12-inch water mains will be required to extend across the site in both the ' north-south and east-west directions, and all water mains will be looped. Water services from the 12-inch main will be sized as necessary depending upon building demands. Final water main design, looping within the site, and connections to existing �I water mains will be reviewed by the City and SPU at the time of final plat to verify �, ' conformance to design standards. ' Minnesota Valley West (Opus Northwest, L.L.C.): Water mains will need to be extended ' to provide water service. Currently there are 12-inch water mains serving the existing buildings on-site. Future water mains will be sized in accordance with SPU design standards. Due to the size of development and in accordance with SPU design standards, 12-inch water mains will be required to extend across the site in both the ' north-south and east-west directions, and all water mains will be looped. Water �' services from the 12-inch main will be sized as necessa de endin u on buildin rY p g p g demands. Final water main design, looping within the site, and connections to existing � ' water mains will be reviewed by the City and SPU at the time of final plat to verify conformance to design standards. , i I E. Noise and Vibration The mitigation measures outlined in the original AUAR still apply. To control construction noise, construction equipment will be fitted with mufflers and other noise control i equipment as specified by the manufacturer. Shakopee City Ordinance (10.60, subd. 3(D) ' limits construction activity to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. , , To control vibrations from blasting in the vicinity of any existing structures, the blasting contractor will be required to perform preliminary tests as necessary and monitor vibrations and Final Alte�native Urban Areowide Review Updote pp9e 22 Shenandoah Business Park and Minnesota Valley West I City of Shakopee, MN I WSB Project No. 1756-060 December 1011 l i �i _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I I air blast overpressure from blasting at the nearest structure to the blast to ensure that Department of Natural Resource guidelines are not exceeded. The original AUAR included mitigation for the Goemer residence. The residence no longer exists as it was acquired and removed. This mitigation item no longer applies. F. Archaeofo�ical and Historical Resources The original AUAR included an Archaeological Survey of the Shenandoah Business Park as a result of comments from the State Historic Preservation Office. The mitigation measures in the original AUAR apply for the Shenandoah Business Park. This includes avoiding a small area along I the northern edge of the project site to avoid potential impact on some lithic scatter found in the area. Should avoiding this not be feasible, further study and more intensive testing will be needed in order to evaluate the significance of the site and determine whether or not it meets the criteria of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. To control visual impacts on The Landing north of the site, visual screening through appropriate landscaping and appropriate design of lighting on the site will be provided through landscape plans for parcels along the north boundary of the site and site plan review by the City of Shakopee. I G. Visuallmpacts The original AUAR identified potential impact and mitigation measures for the Goemer property. The house in this area has since been removed so the mitigation measures outlined in the original AUAR no longer are necessary. Lighting will still be required to be in conformance with City standards. ' H. Wildlife Loggerhead shrike survey may be required by the DNR as part of a development project if disturbance would be planned during the nesting season (April through July). Additionally, I development within the Shenandoah Business Park site will consider protecting an area of open I space for wildlife habitat within the Regionally Significant Ecological Areas. I V. FAUAR Update Review Pursuant to Minnesota Rules 4410.3610 Subp. 7, this FAUAR Update is being submitted for a i ten-day comment period. The City Council will consider adoption after this comment period. Upon adoption, the Shenandoah Business Park (United Land LLC) and Minnesota Valley West I (Opus Northwest, L.LC.) FAUAR will remain valid for an additional five years from the adoption I I date.
