Ms. Katie Larsen 12/04/2024 Page 3 Transportation A general street layout has been proposed with the Concept Plan. The City of Lino Lakes' Comprehensive Plan requires neighborhood street connections. The applicant is showing connections with the right of way to Peltier Lake Drive and Gordan Avenue in the northwest portion of the development. The City's Engineering and Public Safety departments submit that the roadway connection to Peltier Lake Drive to the south shall be constructed to maintain continuity. The roads stubbed to the southern development limits will need to be evaluated for feasibility with future connections. A traffic study will be required and reviewed with the preliminary plat. An intersection evaluation for the intersection of Watermark Way and CSAH 54 should be conducted as required by Anoka County. An emergency access to CSAH 54 is proposed to be installed at the north end of the private road stub. This access will be evaluated by the City's Fire Official for acceptance. Trails and sidewalks Trails are proposed extending from Peltier Lake in the southwest corner to the northeast corner of the development near the multifamily units as well as generally along the existing trunk storm sewer line from CSAH 54 to the center of the development. Sidewalks are shown along one side of all of the public streets on the submitted Concept Plan. The abandoned segment of Peltier Lake Drive along the lake will need to be converted to a City Trail. A City trail will need to be installed along the west side of CSAH 54 for the length of the development. Additional trail and sidewalk segments may need to be included throughout the site at the direction of the City Planner. • Wetlands and Environment The project indicates that there are approximately 15.58 acres of wetland. A wetland replacement plan based on the impacts will need to be submitted, reviewed, and approved through RCWD and the City. The site is located in the Wetland Management Corridor (WMC). Wetland buffers meeting minimum and average requirements will be required around all wetland areas following construction. Any disturbed buffer areas should be seeded with a seed mix containing native, non-invasive, species. Review of the DNR's Natural Heritage Information System database indicates the potential presence of several protected species within and near the project area, including protected plant species. The applicant should coordinate with the DNR on the need for additional studies or surveys. The applicant will need to conduct a Cultural Resource Assessment of the development site through SHPO.
