6 The Master Plan generally envisions townhome housing on the north and west portions of the site with a mix of residential and commercial uses on southern portions of the site. The Master Plan notes that “individual site layouts and uses are to be determined as part of the development review process.” The proposed Lyngblomsten senior living community proposes 20 cottage homes on the north end and a senior living campus on the eastern edge along CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road). Commercial development on the southern portion of the site includes a restaurant and future commercial pad that is intended to be built by this developer in the future. Additionally, this type of senior living campus does serve as an employment center for the staff. The City has previously treated assisted living facilities as commercial uses in both the Legacy development (Lino Lakes Assisted Living) and with Gracewood Assisted Living. • Tax increment financing and tax abatement on qualifying properties should be considered potential tools for implementing the Master Plan. The applicant is requesting tax incremental financing to assist with the development of this project. Overall, the proposed development is consistent with the general goals of the Master Plan. Transportation and Access • Accesses to Hodgson Road and Co. Rd. J are to be located at the points indicated on the Master Plan. o There is to be one full access on Hodgson Road, located 990± feet north of the CR J intersection (approx. 330 feet south of the northern edge of the study area). This access is to be centered on the property line east of Hodgson at this location. No other new permanent accesses are to be allowed. As development occurs, the City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along Hodgson. The City of Lino Lakes, the City of Shoreview, Anoka County and Ramsey County have spent several months working with the applicant on right-of-way needs and access points to the development. Access to Hodgson Road is proposed at two locations: a full movement access approximately 1000 feet north of CR J, consistent with the Master Plan and a right-in/right-out access approximately 440 feet north of CR J. This second access is being considered to improve circulation and accessibility to the site and is recommended by staff. o West of Hodgson Rd., there is to be one access onto CR J, located as far west as possible from the Hodgson/CR J intersection. This new access is to be constructed as right in/right out only. This will be a driveway into the development site, and there will be access easements on that site to provide access to, from, and through property to the north, leading to the full access on Hodgson. No other new accesses are to be allowed. The City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along CR J. A right-in/right-out access on CR J approximately 300 feet west of Hodgson Road is proposed which is consistent with the Master Plan. The City of Lino Lakes and the applicant are
