ANALYSIS We have reviewed the application for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Lino Lakes Town Center Design & Development Guide, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and City Code requirements, as well as City policies. Existing Conditions The subject parcels are vacant and are part of the Town Center project. The surrounding streets (Town Center Parkway, Village Drive and Woods Edge Boulevard) were previously constructed. On -street parking, sidewalks, street lighting, utilities and landscaping exist adjacent to the property. The site has been rough graded and there are no significant trees on site. There are existing stormwater ponds in the north and southeast corners of Outlot B. There is wetland located to the east of the site. There is a 10-foot wide trail easement in the southwest portion of Outlot B for the existing trail that connects from Village Drive south to the Anoka County property. An existing 28-foot wide easement is in the northwest portion of Outlot B and provides shared access to the Lino Lakes Assisted Living and will provide future access to the townhomes. There is a 20-foot wide drainage and utility easement for watermain running generally north - south through the townhome block. EAW In 2004, an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was completed for the 65-acre Legacy project. The project evaluated the potential for significant environmental impacts and identified mitigation strategies for any potential impacts. The proposed project is consistent with the master plan and the EAW. Land Use and Density The property is guided Mixed Use and zoned PUD as part of the Town Center master plan. The density is 10 units per acre (112 units on 11.2 acres). This is consistent with the Town Center standards, which require a minimum of 10 units per acre and a maximum of 24 units per acre. Streets/Access The public streets that will provide access to the site were previously constructed and will provide the primary access to the site. New private streets will be constructed to provide internal access and they will be owned and maintained by the homeowners association (HOA). These private drives are currently shown as 26-feet wide (back-to-back). This is consistent with City standards. 2
