2040 COMP PLAN Lino Lakes Utility Staging Areas, 2030 and 2040 Plans Lino Lakes 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 1. Approximately 52 gross/44 net acres on the east side of Lake Drive (CSAH23) guided Mixed Use and Medium Density Residential, change from 2030/Stage 3 to 2040 Stage 2B. 2. Approximately 174 gross/135 net acres west of 20th Ave and east of Peltier Lake guided Low, Medium and High Density Residential, change from 2030/Stage 2A & 2B to 2040 1A & 1B. 3. Approximately 101 gross/ 90 net acres west of 20th Avenue and north of Birch Street guided Low and Medium Density Residential, change from 2030/Stage 2A & 2B to 2040 1A & 1 B. 4. Approximately 47 gross/ 28 net acres east of 20th Avenue, west of I -35E and south of the Northpointe development guided Low Density Residential, change from 2030/Stage 3 to 2040 Stage 1 B. 5. Approximately 36 gross/ 31 net acres west of County Road J/Ash Street, north of the City of North Oaks, guided Low Density Residential, change from 2030/Stage 2A to 2040 Stage 1B. 6. Approximately 191 gross/ 123 net acres east of Holly Drive, north of County Road J and south of Cedar Lake, guided Low and Medium Density Residential, change from 2030/Stage 3 to 2040 Stage 2B. Land Use and Staging Plan Changes, Existing Single -Family Subdivisions—In addition to the other changes identified above, we are proposing that the city change the Staging Plan designation of six existing, developed single family subdivisions guided Urban Reserve/Stage 3 by the 2030 Land Use Plan to Low Density Residential/Stage 1A on the 2040 Land Use Plan. The areas encompass a total of about 335 acres and 250 existing homes, with only a few vacant lots. These large -lot single family subdivisions are surrounded by urbanized area but currently use individual sewage treatment systems (ISTS). The 2030 Comprehensive Plan Utility Staging plan mapped these areas within Staging Area 3/ Post 2030, indicating that these areas would not receive service within the 20 -year span of the plan. The only reason for this was that a formula used by the Metropolitan Council included these areas when calculating whether the city's proposed development density met regional policy standards, effectively penalizing the city in its efforts to meet density goals. The current staging plan conflicts with city policy to extend public utilities to these neighborhoods when either requested by the homeowners or when necessary to replace failing ISTS. It also adds an additional bureaucratic step (a Comprehensive Plan Amendment) to the process of extending utility service should it become necessary. Including these areas in Staging Area 1-A is consistent with the city's policy of preserving and maintaining existing neighborhoods.
