PHEASANT HILLS PRESERVE <br /> PARK DEDICATION PROPOSAL <br /> 29 MAY 1990 <br /> When considering the park requirements for the proposed Pheasant Hills <br /> Preserve, it is important to identify and acknowledge the uniqueness of <br /> the residential concept within the context of the current and future <br /> development of Lino Lakes. <br /> Pheasant Hills Preserve : <br /> 1 . Is the largest residential development to be proposed and/or <br /> constructed in the City of Lino Lakes <br /> 2. Is bounded by a 2700 acre Regional Park which offers extensive <br /> active and passive recreational opportunities_. <br /> 3. Is located such that it virtually surrounds a 38 acre site owned by <br /> the Centennial School District #12 on which the City's <br /> Comprehensive Plan has designated an active recreation facility <br /> 4. Is essentially a grouping of upland knolls distributed throughout <br /> an extensive wetland, including two lakes. Of the 307 contiguous <br /> acres in the site, only approximately 210 acres will be platted as <br /> Pheasant Hills Preserve . Of the 210 acres, only 43': will be <br /> actually platted as lots. <br /> 5. Is conceived as an "upscale" residential community based upon an <br /> "ecological theme." As such, the focus of the environment is to <br /> preserve as much of the existing ecology as possible, which is <br /> essentially an extension of the wildlife habitat that has been <br /> established, and is maintained, in the Regional Park located on the <br /> north boundary of the site . The site currently shares the wildlife <br /> which proliferates the Park and it is the deveopers' goal to <br /> maintain this ecology. In doing so, it is important that a maximum <br /> amount of land not dedicated to lots be used to support this <br /> existing ecology. <br /> b. Is planned to incorporate an extensive series of ponding areas, <br /> waterways, trailways and other amenities for the residents. <br /> 7. Is actually a fairly low density proposal at slightly more than one <br /> home per acre . <br /> 8. Is a unique parcel of land in the Northeast sector of the Twin <br /> Cities Metropolitan Area in that it contains a considerable amount <br /> of quality woodland. <br /> 9. Is entering a different market than the major subdivision which <br /> have been developed or proposed in Lino Lakes. As such, it is a <br /> high risk venture for the developers. It will provide a unique <br /> type of housing in Lino Lakes; a type which the City has been <br />
