Page - 2 | September 13, 2022 | METROPOLITAN COUNCIL <br />Item 9 – Land Use – Regional Parks and Trails (Colin Kelly, 651-602-1361) <br />A planned unit of the Regional Parks System – the Central Anoka County Regional Trail – is <br />immediately adjacent to the project site. Council staff encourages Integrate Properties, LLC and <br />the City of Lino Lakes to coordinate with Anoka County prior to and during any future construction <br />activities to ensure there are no permanent impacts to the planned regional trail as a result of <br />either of the two site plan alternatives discussed. <br /> <br />Item 11aii – Water Resources – Groundwater (Lanya Ross, 651-602-1803) <br />The project site is located in the North and East Groundwater Management Area <br />(https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/gwmp/area-ne.html) designated by the Minnesota Department of <br />Natural Resources. Given the range of water supply challenges (quantity and quality) that exist in <br />this part of the metro, the Council encourages the City to collaborate with state partners and/or <br />neighboring communities when expanding or developing new water supplies in this area. <br /> <br />Item 11bii – Water Resources – Stormwater (Joe Mulcahy, 651-602-1104) <br />This appears to be a difficult site for intensive development due to a predominance of hydric soils, <br />high water table, wetlands, presence of county and private ditches, and location in the 100-year <br />flood plain. Many of the soil associations listed for the site have severe limitations for dwellings <br />with basements and roadways. The EAW states that the project will result in 50-60 acres of <br />impervious surface and runoff will be treated with stormwater basins. <br /> <br />Taken together, these conditions indicate that the site is a poor candidate for the proposed <br />development. If the proposer is determined to pursue this project, they should work closely with <br />the City and Rice Creek Watershed District to address all these concerns before proceeding. <br /> <br />This concludes the Council’s review of the EAW. The Council will not take formal action on the EAW.
