Proposed PUD Amendment #1 to Site Plan and Grading & Drainage Plan The amendment proposes to omit the stand-alone clubhouse and associated parking lot and expand the size of the stormwater pond. Per the applicant's March 9, 2020 PUD Amendment Narrative: "The following changes have been made to the original PUD Application: • Rice Creek Watershed District's (RCWD) sent comments to the design team on 4/12/2019, regarding the proposed pond. The normal water level (NWL) of the pond was questioned by both RCWD and the city of Lino Lakes due to high groundwater table. Lyngblomsten hired Braun Intertec in April of 2019 to monitor the site's groundwater. We discussed these findings with the city, and as the result, had to propose addition site storage to satisfy RCWD's comments. There are two options to accommodate the additional stormwater storage: o A second pond would be required. However, the location of the second pond would have to be in the commercial parcel, limiting the developable land and restricting how much development could occur on the commercial parcel. The city has long seen this intersection as the gateway to Lino Lakes and the neighborhood oriented commercial amenities have been consistently identified by the neighborhood and city leadership as one of the major benefits of this project. o Therefore, in lieu of the second pond, we are proposing adding the capacity to the current central pond to accommodate additional impervious surface, including the 3+ acre corner lot, purchased after the original PUD application. In doing so, the pond's size increased significantly and would need to consume the area previously allotted for the Clubhouse and its associated parking lot. The development and design team have successfully included all of the amenities from the Clubhouse into the Town Center of the main senior living building. o In the proposal presented to the neighborhood group in August of 2018, the amenity and administrative spaces within the Clubhouse was approximately 4,450 square feet. The Town Center at the time was approximately 10,200 square feet. o In the final construction documents, our Town Center is 18,185 square feet. This additional 8,000 square feet of common and amenity space more than makes up in both size and function for the loss of the Clubhouse space. The Town Center is designed to welcome the neighborhood beyond our immediate live-in residents. Some of the additional amenities include: ■ A vendor space for outside vendors like service dog or banking organizations 2
