11 <br /> <br />f. Providing infrastructure that benefits community beyond the project site that <br />would otherwise not be financially feasible <br />2. Identify and define incentives offered to developers for achieving specific public values <br />not achievable under conventional development standards. These incentives may <br />include, but are not limited to: <br />a. Reduced street and right-of-way widths <br />b. Trunk utility and stormwater management fee credits <br />c. Staging plan flexibility <br />3. Encourage master planning to accomplish the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan <br />including, but not limited to, implementing the Resource Management System Plan, as <br />amended, implementing Rice Creek Watershed District’s Lino Lakes Resource <br />Management Plan, as amended, providing life-cycle housing, and diversifying the city’s <br />tax base. <br /> <br />As previously discussed, the site is guided for low density residential development which <br />requires a density of 1.6 to 3.9 units per acres. The proposed net density is 3.46 units per acre <br />which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s guided land use and density. Wetlands and <br />wetland buffers make up 2.94 acres (56%) of protected open space. <br /> <br />Saddle Club Fourth Addition meets the land use goals by connecting 2 residential subdivisions <br />and preventing fragmented development. It also creates a residential conservation subdivision <br />that supports public values by integrating the stormwater conveyance systems, wetland <br />management, open space areas and trail corridor into a multi-functional greenway corridor. The <br />development implements the Resource Management Plan, provides housing, promotes <br />pedestrian connectivity and diversifies the city’s tax base. <br /> <br />Housing Plan <br /> <br />Goal 3: Ensure housing development is compatible with existing and adjacent land uses and <br />provides accessibility to key community features and natural amenities. Policies include linking <br />trails to parks, lakes and schools. <br /> <br />Saddle Club Fourth Addition meets the goal of the housing plan. The development is <br />compatible with the existing adjacent conservation residential subdivisions. <br /> <br />Economic Development <br /> <br />Goal 1: Expand and diversify the city’s tax base by encouraging mixed-use and nodal <br />development to lessen the tax burden on residential properties. Policies include developing <br />walkable neighborhoods with commercial nodes and amenities for residents. <br /> <br />Saddle Club Fourth Addition does not negatively impact the city’s economic development <br />goals. <br /> <br />Transportation Plan <br /> <br />Goal 1: Plan for and achieve required street improvements and connectivity throughout the <br />City of Lino Lakes.
