Water this area I believe was tiled for farming so with <br />that in mind keeping the water on this site with slow release into the soil or sewer system is important. <br />Whatever system is used plan ahead on making maintenance of these water areas easily accessible. <br />Decided in advance before sales happen to the future landowners who will be responsible for cost and <br />maintenance of the water devices. If a retention pond is put in, I believe they need to be cleaned out <br />between 15 to 20 years after being built. The developer could choose to build each lot with a rain garden <br />in and that also has to be maintained and cleaned out, yearly would be good. There are many options for <br />controlling water but currently from what I have observed this is not being planned during the <br />development of the land. <br />Lighting since this area already has development around it on the South, North and East side maintaining <br />lighting as close to what is in the surrounding area is important. Dark sky cities are becoming more and <br />more popular and since full build out is not planned for another 30 years. Talk with the 10- and 13-year- <br />olds over at Lino Lakes Stem school and get them involved I suspect they have dreams of what the future <br />will look like. They will be the ones living there but at the same time the current neighbors' needs should <br />be met. <br />35 W which is very close to this site sees more traffic than Main St, Sunset and 4th streets see on a daily <br />basis and there are no streetlights between Lexington and going north to Lake dr. on 35 W. <br />Address: 1000 Main St., Lino Lakes, MN 55014, United States <br />Page 575 of 617 <br />
