WSB has one of the largest Community Planning groups in Minnesota, and we have <br />significant experience in multiple small area plans, which makes us a leader in the creation of <br />comprehensive and implementable master plans. WSB's long term relationship with Lino Lakes <br />provides us with extensive knowledge of past and ongoing City development projects and we are <br />uniquely qualified to assist with your master planning effort. <br />Understanding <br />Lino Lakes is planning for development of an industrial park within a 400 acre area located north <br />of County Road 14 (Main Street) and south of County Road 140 (80th Street). The industrial park <br />would include the extension of Otter Lake Road on a north -south alignment. All acreage is zoned <br />R-BR (Rural -Business Reserve) with three different land uses: Commercial, Business Campus <br />and Office/Residential. <br />The City has been working closely with the WSB team on water resources/engineering <br />challenges on this site (in the North East Drainage Area) (NEDA) for some time. WSB staff has <br />extensive knowledge of the development challenges for this site and how it fits into the water <br />resources management needs of the greater NEDA. WSB understands that stormwater rate <br />control and flood storage will be handled regionally but that volume control requirements at the <br />site level will need to be examined. The water resources effort for this will include 1) a feasibility <br />level evaluation of the options for achieving volume control requirements following RCWD <br />sequencing including a review of reuse opportunities and 2) an analysis of conveyance options <br />from the site for connection to the planned regional facility. In addition, the opportunity for <br />augmentation of regional rate and flood control facilities at this site will be reviewed. <br />WSB is proposing to create a plan for this area that accounts for road alignment (Otter Lake Road <br />extension and other local street connections and alignments), utilities (storm, water and sanitary), <br />land use designations and lot sizes. The deliverables will be a Master Plan document in a PDF <br />format that includes a description of the preferred development scenario/road alignment that also <br />includes land uses and commercial/industrial/institutional building square footages and lot sizes; <br />allowing for flexibility to react to the market. You will see that the scope of this proposal also <br />includes preparation of a federal EDA grant application as requested. <br />An optional add -on for this process will be a marketing plan that includes economic development <br />incentives, potential funding sources, marketing opportunities and incorporates the information <br />from the Business Retention and Expansion Program to encourage continued growth and <br />development. <br />SACommunity Development\Projects\Planning Studies\Otter Lake Road Extension\Agreements\Master Plan\20220104 Proposal Revised\January 4 proposal.docx <br />
