FURTHER, the City Council provides the following comments or suggestions on the submitted
sketch plan application:
1. Traffic noise from Highway 55 could exceed noise standards established by the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and
the U.S. Department of Transportation. Mn/DOT policy regarding development adjacent
to existing highways prohibits the expenditure of highway fiinds for noise mitigation
measures. The developer shall assess the noise situation and take the action necessary to
minimize the impact of any highway noise.

2. The sidewalk plan for this development should provide a safe access directly to the play
lots and should delineate the crosswalks from the building entrance through the parking lot
to the trail along West Medicine Lake Drive. Additionally, the two segments of sidewalk
that end at the garage -access driveways should be extended to tie into other sidewalks.
