4 4. The developer payments will offset additional costs of utility installation or future operation and maintenance. St. Clair Estates is consistent with infill policies. The development is within the current Utility Staging Area 1A=2008-2015. One hundred percent of the street and utility costs are privately financed by the developer. The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system is consistent with the normal costs projected by the water and sanitary system plans. No future utility costs are proposed. (c) Roads or highways to serve the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall meet the following requirements for level of service (LOS), as defined by the Highway Capacity Manual: 1. If the existing level of service (LOS) outside of the proposed subdivision is A or B, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service more than one grade; 2. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is C, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below C; 3. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is D, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below D; 4. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections providing access to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F, the subdivision developer must provide, as part of the proposed project, improvements needed to ensure a level of service D or better; 5. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision must have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed subdivision or the developer will pay to correct any structural deficiencies; 6. The traffic generated from a proposed subdivision shall not require city street improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lakes capital improvement plan. However, the city may, at its discretion, consider developer-financed improvements to correct any street deficiencies; 7. The LOS requirements in divisions (2)(c)1. to 4. above do not apply to the I-35W/Lake Drive or I-35E/Main St. interchanges. At city discretion, interchange impacts must be evaluated in conjunction with Anoka County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and a plan must be prepared to determine improvements needed to resolve deficiencies. This plan must determine traffic generated by the subdivision project, how this traffic contributes to the total traffic, and the time frame of the improvements. The plan also must examine financing options, including project contribution and cost sharing among other jurisdictions and other properties that contribute to traffic at the interchange; and 8. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination. St. Clair Estates meets the requirements for level of service (LOS). A traffic study prepared by SRF Consulting Group, Inc. dated June 23, 2016 provides a level of service (LOS) analysis. The proposed levels of service are not degraded; therefore the subdivision is not considered premature. The existing roads and intersections providing access to the development have structural capacity to accommodate the projected traffic from the proposed subdivision. No street improvements are proposed that are inconsistent with the City’s capital improvement plan. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination.
