According to Section 8, Subd. 4 of the Zoning Ordinance, all off-street parking areas must be designed to provide the following: Bituminous surfacing. Perimeter curbing. Parking light lighting. Striped stalls. Designated handicap parking stalls. Compliance with the aforementioned performance standards shall be a condition of site and building plan review. Parks. As shown on the submitted site plan, a 30 acre park and a 0.6 acre walkway have been proposed. The designation of such park is consistent with the City's Park and Trail System Plan which proposes an off-street trail along the site's northern boundary. Attached Exhibit D illustrates an alternative park dedication which has been submitted by the applicant for City consideration. As a condition of site and building plan approval, the Lino Lakes Park Board should review the proposal and determine whether the proposed land dedication is appropriate. Open Space. According to State shoreland requirements, at least 50 percent of the site must be devoted to open space. Of the total 29.9 acres which encompass the subject site, 22.5 acres are devoted to green space. In compliance with ordinance requirements, 75 percent of the site is devoted to open space. Structure Coverage. According to Section 6, Subd. 8.2.E (IV) (b) of the Zoning Ordinance the area covered by any structures upon the site may not exceed 35 percent of the total land area. The applicant is proposing 3.3 acres of structure coverage upon the subject site. This results in a total structure coverage of 11 percent and satisfies the ordinance requirement. Landscaping. As a condition of site and building plan approval, a landscape plan must be submitted subject to review and approval by the City. Such plan should identify location, type and size of all proposed plantings. Specific landscaping/buffering efforts should be provided along the subject property's northern and western borders. Property Exception. As shown on the submitted site plan, structure #11 partially overlays property not under the ownership of the applicant. While it is understood that the applicant is attempting to purchase the excepted property, the site plan must be revised to either: 1) relocate structure #11 within the confines of the subject property, or 2) include the exception in the development site via lot combination (minor subdivision). 6
