In addition to the Future Land Use Plan the proposed development also lies within the Shoreland Overlay Zone of both Wilkinson Lake and Amelia Lake. The shoreland overlay boundary can be seen on the associated submittal plan documents and is governed by a 1,000-foot radius from the ordinary high water level of the associated lakes. The high-water level for Wilkinson Lake and Amelia Lake are 895.2 and 908.1, respectively. In addition to this Preliminary PUD and Plat submittal Anoka Holdings, Ilc. is also submitting a concurrent Comprehensive Plan amendment to allow for the orderly development of the parcels, to align with the overall objective of ensuring the Signature Gateway is a welcoming corridor to the City of Lino Lakes. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS The transportation network surrounding the proposed development is well established and is also undergoing substantial improvements. These roadway improvements are being completed by both Anoka County and Ramsey County and are currently in the design phase. The easterly frontage of the property is Centerville Road which is currently a rural section two lane road with roadside ditches and no pedestrian paths. The proposed Anoka County Project will improve the road to an urban curb and gutter cross section maintaining two travel lanes, one in each direction, and providing a 10' pedestrian trail on the westerly side of the right-of-way. The northern frontage is Ash Street which is currently a two-lane rural section roadway with roadside ditches and no pedestrian access, Ash Street will remain in its current condition after development. In addition to the pedestrian and road section improvements along Centerville Road (County Road 21), the intersections of Centerville Road with both Wilkinson Lake Blvd/County Road J and Ash Street (County Road 32) are being improved. Currently, both intersections are controlled with stop signs, Wilkinson Lake Blvd with a 4-way stop and Ash Street with a 1-way stop (this is an existing T- Intersection). The new intersection control, at both intersections, will be a roundabout design and executed by both Anoka County and Ramsey County. Additionally, this new traffic control pattern will help moving traffic from the City of Lino Lake to 1-35E directly to the east. The new roundabout at the Wilkinson Lake Blvd and Centerville Road intersection will also assist in providing the proposed development to serve as the Signature Gateway destination as planned in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Both Centerville Road and Ash Street are both functionally classified as Minor Arterials. The existing average annual daily traffic on Ash Street and Centerville Road is 5,100 vehicles per day and 10,700 vehicles per day, respectively (MnDOT Traffic Mapping Application, 2022). Traffic Study has been completed and processed as part of the EAW submittal. Internally, to the proposed development a new street, Wilkinson Way, will be constructed, making a loop connection to the Centerville Road to the East and Ash Street to the north. This proposed ROW will be 60' wide and will be constructed to the standards of a public street in the City of Lino Lakes. This roadway may be Private or Public and will be determined during the Development Agreement process. If Wilkinson Way remains a private street, a public access and utility easement will be placed overtop to ensure the City of Lino Lakes has access and authority to maintain and operate the proposed public Wilkinson Waters Design Guidelines Page 17
