Chapter 2: Background Information | 7Otter Lake Road Master Plan <br />Existing Transportation Network <br />The study area is in a strategic location with immediate access from Interstate Highway 35E and County <br />Road 14. The area lies directly northwest of the exits and is bound between 35E to the west and 24th <br />Avenue to the east. The area currently has limited access. Otter Lake Road is proposed to be extended <br />further into the area to provide access for future development as well as providing east-west connections <br />to the existing streets in the Ctiy of Hugo. <br />The primary purpose of the Otter Lake Road extension is to implement the city’s transportation plan <br />goal of creating an “A” minor expander in this location. The access for future development of this area <br />is secondary to the transportation plan implementation but it is critical to the alignment decision. It will <br />provide principal access to developing parcels in the City of Lino Lakes and east-west connections with <br />the existing transportation system in the City of Hugo. <br />The large wetland system in the northern part of the study area is proposed to be included in the Greenway <br />System. The Greenway System includes large open areas in the City of Lino Lakes used for trail networks <br />and open space activities. The proposed wetland area will be connected by a future tunnel/bridge over <br />Interstate 35E to a greenway and trail network to the west. It may also be the location of a future wetland <br />bank to be owned and operated by the City. The status of the bank has not been solidified or approved by <br />governing bodies as it is still being explored as a possibility for this area. <br />Site Constraints <br />The subject area has plenty of physical constraints which come with unique challenges. These physical <br />constraints include: <br />• Access constrained by Interstate 35E on the west and Main Street on the south. <br />• Underground pipeline that runs from the southeast corner near County Road 14 & 24th Avenue N to the <br />northeast of the site and then crossing Interstate Highway 35E. <br />• Multiple wetlands exist on the site with some under the jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers. <br />• Flood plain and ditches are located within the study area and the ditches are under the jurisdiction of <br />the Rice Creek Watershed District."""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" <br />" <br />" <br />"""" <br />" <br />"""""""""""""""""M ain <br /> <br />S <br />t Interstate 35EOtter LakeRoad9 2 092092092092 <br />0910 <br />91 09109 10910 <br />9209109 30 <br />92 <br />0910910 <br />9 40920910 93 0 <br />920 <br />920 <br />920 <br />930920 <br />9 <br />2 <br />0930 910910920910910 9409 20910910 <br />92 <br />0930920930 <br />920 <br />930 <br />9109 <br />10 91 09009309109 1 0 <br />910 <br />93 0910 <br />910910910 <br />9209109 1 0 <br />9209309209 40 <br />9109109309109109109109 10 <br />920940910 920920910 910910920 <br />9 <br />1 <br />0 <br />910910910930920910ACD 72Br 11A <br />C <br />D <br />7 <br />2 <br />Main <br />T <br />rk <br />A C D 5 5 M a in T rk <br />ACD 55 Br 8Document Path: K:\019206-000\GIS\Maps\019206 Master Plan Constraints\Site Constraints - Letter Date Saved: 11/3/2022¯1 inch = 800 feet <br />0 800 <br />FeetOtter Lake Road Master Plan <br />City of Lino Lakes <br />Site Constraints Map <br />10 ft <br />2 ft <br />Existing Contours <br />Parcels <br />Pipeline ROW <br />Frontage Road <br />35E Pipe Crossing" <br />RCWD Ditches" <br />RCWD Floodplain <br />Wetland Management <br />Corridor <br />Undetermined COE <br />Jurisdiction <br />Not COE Jurisdictional <br />COE Jurisdictional <br />Wetland Type <br />Future median for <br />restricted in/out access
