Ms. Katie Larsen 01/07/2026 Page 2 •Water Supply The Pine Oaks project is to be served by municipal water supply.

Applicant is to provide water demand calculations so the City can evaluate available water supply. The City’s water supply system well firm capacity is currently constrained by poor water quality in some wells, and annual variability in water use due to drought and other factors. Based on the water supply capacity and well trigger analysis completed in April 2024, the city may need additional well(s) to accommodate development within the City’s existing 2040 Utility Staging Area. While the City’s Comprehensive Plan identifies the need for additional wells to support continued growth, the White Bear Lake District Court orders and ongoing litigation, currently prevents the City from implementing that plan. •Sanitary Sewer The Pine Oaks project is to be served by municipal sanitary sewer system. It is anticipated that the existing 8- inch diameter poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) trunk main on Haywood Drive will be extended north to serve the proposed addition.

The trunk sanitary sewer main will be extended to the northeast, consistent with the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. •Transportation A general street layout has been proposed with the Concept Plan that differs from the original 1980 plat which is now coordinated with existing adjacent developments.
