June 11, 2018 The Site: L' The property is nestled in the northwest quadrant at Hodgson Road and County Road J in Lino Lakes, Minnesota. This intersection is an important gateway into Lino Lakes with the current appearance of this location in need of improvement. The hard corner is 2+ acres of vacant land with two older structures to the north that house an insurance business and a liquor store. Immediately north of those buildings is a 17.18 acre site that is mostly wooded with an old single family house situated on the property. Property on the east side of Hodgson Road is dominated by parking lots and automobile facilities with a rock garden to the north of the automotive uses. Lyngblomsten proposes to purchase approximately 17.18 acres on the northwest quadrant of the property owned by R.L. Co., LLC located at 6075 Hodgson Road in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, along with the insurance and liquor store buildings for the purpose of developing a senior living community and facilitating the development of a stand-alone restaurant. The vision is to create a vibrant continuum -of -care campus offering up to a total of 200 units comprised of a mix of independent living, assisted living, and memory care/enhanced care suites/skill nursing care plus complementary campus amenities and 30 stand along senior living townhomes. The Project: In alignment with the mission of Lyngblomsten and the demand for more senior housing in the area, Lyngblomsten seeks to create a second campus offering a full continuum of services for older adults. The majority of units would be independent and assisted living for those age 62+. The market -rate units are planned to be mid -range in price, amenities, and size (variety of 1- and 2-bedroom units), with a goal of serving people from a variety of income levels. Overall, like we've done on our Como Park campus (St. Paul), Lyngblomsten seeks to create a comfortable Christian home for older adults of all faiths and cultures that is welcoming, creates community, values individual preferences, and promotes dignity. Not only will this development address the shortage of senior housing in the area, but for those wishing to continue living in their existing homes, services through 2nd Half with Lyngblomsten that would be part of the Lino Lakes campus can help support their decision to remain and their needs associated with that decision. The preliminary plan for the site positions the restaurant building on the southern edge of the site with the main senior housing building immediately north of the restaurant.
