Housing and Residential Land Uses: As was noted in the inventory and analysis, the resident questionnaire noted a strong wish to maintain the city's environment and open and natural atmosphere. The natural environment was a strong factor in attracting -persons to the city and an attribute they wish preserved. GOAL 1: To protect and maintain environmental amenities in residential areas. Other post -World War II suburban communities are now concerned about maintenance of their housing stocks. In many instances, the dwellings were all built about the same time and will soon need major repair. Large areas of deteriorating housing can have a negative effect on both a city and its residents. GOAL 2: To have quality housing developments able to maintain long term residential property value. With its neighbors exhausting their land availability, Lino Lakes has become the focus of attention for many developers and builders looking for buildable lots. GOAL 3: To increase Lino Lakes' supply of executive homes providing the city a good mix of residential housing opportunities. GOAL 4: To maintain and promote home designs that show better curb appeal especially with "general market" housing. The sudden interest in developing land in Lino Lakes can lead to euphoria and an over -extension of utilities. GOAL 5: To limit lot inventories to a total that can be absorbed into the market within a two year period, with a one year supply in planning stages. Presently Lino Lakes has only four units of multiple -housing. With a population soon approaching 10,000 persons, this situation excludes persons wishing to reside in rental housing or housing requiring limited maintenance. GOAL 6: To promote development of limited numbers of multiple -family residences. Page 17
