The rapid growth rate experienced in 1992 and 1993 raised concern among City leaders as to its impact on the City's ability to keep pace in terms of planning, utility availability, community services and the City's financial stability. To avoid over -burdening City financial resources, utilities, services and personnel, the City Council determined that it was necessary to establish manageable growth parameters for the City of Lino Lakes. An average annual growth rate between the range of 200 and 300 units was identified as being appropriate for future planning efforts. DEMOGRAPHIC FORECASTS All past planning efforts have been based on demographic forecasts for the City of Lino Lakes. The City forecasts were periodically revised to reflect the changing growth patterns in the City. As shown in Table B, past forecasts have been close to the mark in projecting the 1990 population and household counts for the City. Both the City Comprehensive Sewer Plan and the 1993 Metropolitan Council demographic forecasts have made growth projections for Lino Lakes extending to 2010 and beyond. In review of these projections, the City assumed a growth rate of 210 units annually beyond the year 1990. The Metropolitan Council estimates a growth rate of 200 units annually between 1990 and 2010, with an increase to 240 units annually beyond 2010.
