PELTIER PONDS USING PROPOSED LAND USE DESIGNATIONS Land Use Required Density Range (units/acre) Net Acres Density Range Proposed Units Resulting Density (units/acre) Low Density Residential 1.6 - 3.0 51.96 84 - 156 165 3.17 (exceeds density requirements) Medium Density Residential 4.0 - 6.0 4.60 19 - 28 33 7.21 (exceeds density requirements) High Density Residential 6.0 - 8.0 7.76 47 - 63 48 6.18 (below density requirements) 64.32 150 - 247 246 3.82 (within density range) PELTIER PONDS USING YIELD PLAN Land Use Required Density Range (units/acre) Net Acres Density Range Proposed Units Resulting Density (units/acre) Low Density Residential 1.6 - 3.0 31.49 51 - 95 78 2.83 (meets density requirements) Medium Density Residential 4.0 - 6.0 30.44 122 - 183 168 6.07 (meets density requirements) High Density Residential 6.0 - 8.0 10.49 63 - 84 73 8.04 (meets density requirements) 72.42 236 - 362 319 4.96 (within density range) Goal 1: Create a unified vision and future for the city, promote a well-planned community, prevent fragmented development, address the impacts of development and redevelopment on natural resources, aesthetics and view corridors, and provide balanced land use and connectivity that ensures the integration of both sides of the regional park. • Preserving open space, providing park dedication and trails, and/or providing stormwater management areas, in excess of minimum standards to implement the Greenway System and Rice Creek Watershed District’s Lino Lakes Resource Management Plan. • Restoring/enhancing ecological systems. • Managing stormwater using natural filtration and other ecologically based approaches. • Providing life-cycle and affordable housing. Peltier Ponds will be preserving 34.25 acres of upland open space (58.62 acres of open space if ponding and wetland areas were included) which is 47% of the site. This plan proposes the dedication of a 5.37-acre park at the west side of the community near Peltier Lake. Of the 15.66 acres of wetland located on the site 13.73 acres will be preserved along with the creation of 6.03 acres of wetland buffers. Five of the wetlands (2.44 acres combined) on site are being restored from their current farmed agricultural state to revitalized wetlands. As mentioned, there will be ten (10) stormwater ponds constructed which will treat stormwater runoff prior to it entering the natural systems of wetlands, creeks, and lakes. By offering two types of townhomes and the various floorplans that can be built on 55-foot, 65-foot, and 80-foot wide lots Peltier Ponds will certainly provide Lino Lakes residents options for life-cycle housing. Goal 3: Ensure housing development is compatible with existing and adjacent land uses and provides accessibility to key community features and natural amenities. • Link trails to parks, lakes, and schools. • Encourage pedestrian activity in residential areas by providing sidewalks and trails as well as connections to existing and future pedestrian or transit facilities.
