8 Commercial development on the southern portion of the site includes a restaurant and future commercial pad that will be built out in the future. Additionally, this type of senior living campus does serve as an employment center for the staff. The City has previously treated assisted living facilities as commercial uses in both the Legacy development (Lino Lakes Assisted Living) and with Gracewood Assisted Living. • Tax increment financing and tax abatement on qualifying properties should be considered potential tools for implementing the Master Plan. The applicant has been approved for tax incremental financing to assist with the development of this project. Overall, the PUD Final Plan is consistent with the general goals of the Master Plan. Transportation and Access • Accesses to Hodgson Road and Co. Rd. J are to be located at the points indicated on the Master Plan. The City of Lino Lakes, the City of Shoreview, Anoka County and Ramsey County have been working together the with the applicant for the past 3+ years on right-of-way acquisition, access points and intersection improvements. Lyngblomsten hired SEH to prepare an Intersection Analysis and Alternatives report for the entire CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) and CR J (Ash Street) intersection and preliminary concept plans provide for additional turn lanes to mitigate traffic. Both roads are County roads and ultimately fall under County jurisdiction. Anoka County may undertake the intersection improvements and such work would be subject to an agreement between the County, Developer and City. o There is to be one full access on Hodgson Road, located 990± ft north of the CR J intersection (approx. 330 ft south of the northern edge of the study area). This access is to be centered on the property line east of Hodgson at this location. No other new permanent accesses are to be allowed. As development occurs, the City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along Hodgson. Access to Hodgson Road is proposed at two locations: a full movement access approximately 1000 ft north of CR J that is consistent with the Master Plan and a right-in/right-out access approximately 440 ft north of CR J. This second access will improve circulation and accessibility to the site and is recommended by staff. Preliminary plans show the north access has a southbound 12 ft wide right turn lane, a 12 ft wide thru lane and a varying width left turn striped median that provides access to 6064 & 6074 Hodgson Road (Rock Gardens). Northbound lanes include a 12 ft left turn lane, 12 ft wide thru lane and the existing right turn paved shoulder. The south access is Right In/Right Out only. It has a southbound 13 ft wide right turn lane, a 12 ft wide thru lane and 12 ft wide left turn striped median that provides access to 6020 & 6034 Hodgson Road (Bob’s Auto Ranch). Northbound lanes include a 12 ft wide thru lane and existing right turn paved shoulder.
