Elmcrest Avenue Street Vacation In September 2000 per Ordinance No. 13-00, the City vacated the Elmcrest Avenue 33 foot wide right-of-way immediately adjacent to the City's corporate limits from 400 feet south of CSAH 14 (Main Street) to Cedar Street within the City of Lino Lakes and retained a permanent easement for drainage and utility purposes over said vacated right- of-way. This vacation was related to the Victor Gardens development in the City of Hugo. Per the September 11, 2000 Council staff report, the vacated portion started 400 feet south of Main Street in order to preserve the east driveway into the Laborer's Training Center site. In 2003, an Ingress and Egress Easement Agreement between LTC and Rottland Company (aka Victor Gardens) was recorded that established a permanent 30 foot wide easement. With the proposed campus expansion and building construction, LTC is requesting 239 feet of the remaining right-of-way be vacated. The right-of-way is not needed since an Ingress and Egress Easement Agreement has been recorded. The vacation will also establish the required 75 foot building setback from the easterly property line vs. the road right-of-way line. The road -of -way vacation will be presented to the City Council by the City Engineer as a separate staff report and action item. Grading Plan and Stormwater Management Per the Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Barr Engineering dated May 2020, two (2) stormwater ponds will provide rate control and water quality treatment for the site. Currently, per Figure 1, Existing Drainage Plan, there are 3 existing stormwater ponds and wetlands on site. Based on the high water table and soils with low permeability, infiltration is not possible on this site. The applicant has submitted an application to RCWD for review and approval. A separate public drainage and utility easement extending 10 feet from the high water level (HWL) shall be recorded over the stormwater ponds. Public Utilities The existing building is served by an 8" municipal watermain and an 8" municipal sanitary sewer located along CSAH 14 (Main Street). The new building will be connected to the municipal services as well. The watermain will extend along the south and east side of the building to provide fire protection. Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards The Environmental Coordinator and Environmental Board reviewed the tree preservation and landscaping plans.
