An environmental study for a proposed residential development on the former Diamond T Ranch is now available for review.

In response to a petition from adjacent property owners, the Eagan City Council ordered preparation of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) to assess the potential for environmental impacts of the proposed project.

Toll Brothers Inc. proposes to develop the 38-acre former Diamond T property with 36 single-family homes and 73 attached townhomes in clusters of four to eight units.

Former use of the site resulted in placement of demolition debris and accumulation of animal waste, both to be removed and remediated prior to construction of the homes.

The EAW comment period, which is prescribed by state law, began Nov. 8, 2004 and will end Dec. 8, 2004.

Copies of the EAW are available for inspection at Eagan City Hall, 3830 Pilot Knob Road, Eagan, as well as at Wescott Library, 1340 Wescott Road, Eagan.

The EAW is also posted on the cityís Web site at www.cityofeagan.com. Enter Diamond T Development Update in the search box and click on View EAW Report.

Written comments received by the city during the comment period will be considered by the City Council in making their decision as to the need for further environmental study.
