r-� Environmental Assessment Statement <br /> A-3 Athletic Complex <br /> City of Lino Lakes <br /> April 23, 1996 <br /> L Description of the Environment and the Environmental Impacts of the Proposed <br /> Project. <br /> A. Present Land Use: <br /> The land identified by A-3 Athletic Complex in our City Comprehensive <br /> Plan is 80 acres bounded by County Road J and Holly Drive on the south and <br /> central side of Lino Lakes. The subject site is currently zoned R, Rural,by the <br /> City of Lino Lakes zoning map. The present use is agricultural. There is no <br /> businesses or residential development in this area . There is approaching <br /> residential development to the south. The A-3 athletic complex site would be <br /> accessed off of County Road J and Holly Drive to the north. Since road <br /> improvements are presently occurring to the north to service development,the <br /> road will be adequate for the park access. Since this parcel is isolated from <br /> residential development at this time the establishment of an athletic complex in this <br /> area is a compatible use. <br /> B. Fish and Wildlife: <br /> The proposed A 3 athletic complex is not on, or adjacent to any national, <br /> state, or local wildlife management area, or natural area. There are no fish species <br /> on this site. The site is inhabited by migratory whitetail deer, and the usual <br /> indigenous small game and bird species. According to the"Natural Communities <br /> and Rare Species of Anoka County,Mimiesota"map by Barbara Delaney,plant <br /> ecologist and Al Epp, computer cartographer, there are no indicated species of <br /> rare plants and animals. Although the Blandings Turtle has been sited to the <br /> north/east and south and west of this site,no sightings have been reported in the <br /> immediate vicinity of the A-3 athletic complex. <br /> As with all development occurrences in areas with whitetail deer, <br /> populations tend to be moved around, and could possibly tend to maintain in this <br /> area even with athletic field development,particularly since there is still a fairly <br /> large amount of wild lands maintained to the south of this site in North Oaks. The <br /> athletic complex would serve as an open green space that when coupled with our <br /> trail corridors,would act as wildlife corridors as well. <br /> C. Vegetation: <br /> The land is currently planted as a hay crop. In the past the land has been <br /> planted in corn and peas. The dominant vegetation in the designated wetlands <br /> includes broad-leafed cattail and green bulrush, reed canary grass,green ash, <br /> aspen,willow, and red osier dogwood. The upland area includes golden rod, <br />
