Dear Ms. Aanenson:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Avienda Lifestyle Center Planned Unit DevelopmentPUD). The Minnesota Department of Transportation( MnDOT) has reviewed the PUD and has the
following comments:
Water Resources:
MnDOT owns several wetland restoration sites just outside the proposed project limits. There is one to
the south of the project limits and one to the east of the project, just across Powers Blvd.
MnDOT also owns a few culverts on Powers Blvd and Lyman Blvd that currently receive water fromthe proposed site.
MnDOT would need to see more drainage analysis to make a determination if the proposed project
would affect MnDOT drainage systems. It is likely that the project will need a drainage permit.
Please submit documents specified below with a drainage permit application:
1. Final drainage plan showing storm sewer plan, storm sewer and culvert profiles and pondcontours
2. Existing and proposed drainage area maps with flow arrows3. Existing and proposed drainage/ pond computations for the 2, 10, and 100 year rainfall events
Please direct any questions regarding water resources to Alan Rindels ( 651- 234- 7546 [email protected]) of MnDOT Metro District' s Water Resources Section.

A very tall retaining wall is proposed along the TH 212 right of way and will need to be reviewed. Just areminder that no supporting element of the proposed wall can be on MnDOT right of way.
For questions on these comments, please contact Nancy Jacobson( Nancy.L.Jacobson@,state.mn.us or651- 234- 7647) in MnDOT' s Metro Design Section.
Noise:
MnDOT's policy is to assist local governments in promoting compatibility between land use andhighways. Residential uses located adjacent to highways often result in complaints about traffic noise.
Traffic noise from this highway could exceed noise standards established by the Minnesota PollutionControl Agency( MPCA), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S.Department of Transportation. Minnesota Rule 7030.0030 states that municipalities having the authorityto regulate land use shall take all reasonable measures to prevent the establishment of land use activities,listed in the MPCA's Noise Area Classification( NAC), anywhere that the establishment of the land usewould result in immediate violations of established State noise standards.
MnDOT policy regarding development adjacent to existing highways prohibits the expenditure ofhighway funds for noise mitigation measures in such developed areas. The project proposer is requiredto assess the existing noise situation and take the action deemed necessary to minimize the impact to theproposed development from any highway noise. If you have any questions regarding MnDOT's noisepolicy please contact Natalie Ries Wasko in Metro District' s Noise and Air Quality Unit [email protected] 651- 234-7681.
