A development pattern in harmony with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The residential development is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan which anticipated development of this residential block as part of the mixed use Lino Lakes Town Center. Woods Edge is consistent with land and density requirements and provides market driven housing products that support life -cycle housing. 2. Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of economic expansion, greater variety in type, design, architectural standards, and siting of structures through the conservation and more efcient use of land in such developments. The project site was planned as the residential neighborhood block with the mixed use Town Center. The development will add urban townhomes in this planned development. This master planned community offers housing options not available nowhere else in the community. 3. The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. The site has limited natural desirable site characteristics. The site has been mass graded and has no significant tree stands. The storm water management system that was previously constructed will be upgraded and will incorporate additional improvements to meet current standards.
