JUN -23-1995 11:27 NAC 612 595 9837 P.03 DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY The following is a chronological history of the Marshan Lake Townhome project_ Date Comments 1990 The 1990 Lino Lakes Land Use Plan identifies the site for high density residential development. The site's zoning is R-4, which allows for a variety of high density housing alternatives as a permitted use. Maximum density in an R-4 Zoning District is 15 units per buildable acre. The 1990 Shoreland Ordinance allowed the base zoning district to regulate density. 1992 The City is notified by DNR that the City needs to update its Shoreland Ordinance to comply with State standards, State Statutes requires any multiple family residential development within a shoreland are to comply with State density standards until local ordinances are adopted. 6/17/94 Applicant submits requests for rezoning, preliminary plat and site and building plan approvals. Original development plan proposes 216 dwelling units and a 1.6 acre commercial site on 25.5 acres of land (see Exhibit A). 10/7/94 In review of the 6/17/94 concept plans, the following comments were made by staff: 1. While the proposed rezoning of the 1.6 acre parcel from the current R-4, High Density Residential District to GB, General Business is consistent with policies outlined in the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan, it was the position of staff that decisions regarding land use and zoning are policy matters to be determined by City officials. Staff does recommend that if the City feels that the rezoning of the property is appropriate, it should only be rezoned in conjunction with final plat approval of the Marshan Townhomes project. 2. Due to insufficient information submitted for the application, staff could not recommend approval. In order for staff to review any proposed -preliminary plat, the applicant must submit a plat which includes all proposed lots and blocks, including the proposed park and business district_ 2
