9 Question: Do you see a benefit of having small scale commercial in this area? • “No, there is plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby some space sits empty.” • “Yes.” • “No, there are plenty of commercial zoned areas within 5 minutes of this area and even more within 10 minutes.” • “No” • “I think small or even medium. Not bib box, but more than just neighborhood business.” • “I do not. It doesn’t fit in the area. Commercial should be kept toward Lake Drive or Lexington Avenue where there are easy outlets to the interstate and you don’t have the potential of higher volumes of traffic going through residential areas.” Question: What comes to mind when you hear density? What do you like? What don’t you like? • “Big cities are dense. Lino lakes doesn’t have to be.” • “Density – how many people you pack into an area. I’m more of an non -packed person. Sure I work for developers, but I’d rather not live in what I work in. Keep all of that density towards Main please ” • “I like the idea to develop the land within reason. I think it should be similar to the existing density of the city and surrounding area. I think the city should push for larger lots and larger homes for lower density.” • “Lino Lakes is an exurb; we shouldn’t have “high density” housing and the Met Council should mind their own business. Building out to this degree will destroy the character of the community and overwhelm the infrastructure.” • “I like density when it is used to preserve open space. I also think density can compliment commercial uses.” • “I don’t like high density. That mean more traffic, more congestion, more resources (water, sewer, public safety) used in a smaller area. It also means more noise and less safety for children. I’d like to see as low of density as possible.” ATTACHMENT B - ENGAGEMENT SUMMARIES (CONT.)
