Date: August 4, 2020
Subject: Notification of Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the Blake
Road Station Redevelopment Project
_____________________________________________________________________
Proposed Action
None – the purpose of this item is to meet the notification requirements of City Code Part III,
Chapter 100, Article II – Environmental Review Program. This section requires the City Manager
to inform the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council whenever an environmental review
is required. The Planning & Zoning Commission was notified during their July 28, 2020 meeting.
Background
The City Manager, in consultation with other City staff, has determined that an Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is required under Minnesota Statute 4410 for the proposed Blake
Road Station redevelopment. The Planning & Zoning Commission and City Counc il reviewed the
concept plan for this development earlier this year.
The EAW is scheduled to be completed later this year. Once complete, it will be brought to the
Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council for review and approval. Staff will continue to
update the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council on the EAW process as it moves
forward.
