5 Council estimates that sanitary sewer flows will increase approximately 54 percent between 2010 and 2040. This Sanitary Sewer Plan outlines the locations in which the Metropolitan Council can expect to see increased wastewater flows, allowing the Council to determine if capacity upgrades will be required in the region. This plan was developed in conjunction with the Land Use plan. Chapter 9 - Water Supply Plan This chapter describes Lino Lakes’ plan to meet its existing and future water supply needs in a safe and dependable manner. First, it evaluates the existing Lino Lakes water system to identify any needs or deficiencies. Second, it identifies the future water system needed for the city’s growth through full build out based on the city’s population projections described in Chapter 1 and the 2040 and Full Build Land Use Plans described in Chapter 3 of this plan. This plan recommends that the city consider two water treatment plants, one in the southern region of the city (Water Treatment Plant No. 1) and one in the northern region of the city (Water Treatment Plant No. 2). The city is currently considering the future location of Water Treatment Plant No. 1 to be near the future water tower site along Birch Street. The recommended location for Water Treatment Plant No. 2 is within the potential future well field, located in the northern region of the city. Both water treatment facilities would be designed for the removal of iron and manganese. The city would update the feasibility study before designing a water treatment facility. Chapter 10 - Parks, Greenways and Trails The Parks, Greenways and Trails chapter is an update that builds on the strong history of parks and natural resource planning in Lino Lakes, including the 2004 Parks, Natural Open Space / Greenways and Trail System, which was updated in 2011 as part of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan update, and adopted by reference in Chapter 2, the Resource Management System Plan. This chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan brings together and replaces those separate studies with a cohesive plan that reflects the community’s long held belief that ongoing development must be in harmony with preserving the innate character of the city. The common vision and goal that has been carried throughout the various comprehensive plans and park plan updates is a continued focus on preserving the natural open space character of the city. Chapter 11 - Community Facilities The purpose of this chapter is to provide goals and policies for community facilities, inventory the various community facilities within the City of Lino Lakes, and to identify future community facility needs to accommodate the need for new services. One update from the 2030 plan is a note that the public works building has outgrown their current space due to the continued growth of the city. The City Council will continue to evaluate options for improvements.
