Harvest Grange Preliminary Plat <br />Harvest Grange is a proposed residential subdivision on approximately 24.55 acres located north <br />of Nadeau Acres development, west by existing farm fields, north by existing industrial <br />th <br />buildings, and easterly along 20 Avenue S. It was originally reviewed as a concept plan as <br />Nelson Rehbein Property in April of 2025. <br />The site is comprised of three (3) land parcels, one (1) single family home on the southern <br />as wetlands within the exhibits, along with the rest of the site as agricultural fields. <br />The land parcel currently owned by the Nelson family, was acquired by Jim Nelson in 1987. <br />Shortly thereafter, he began construction on his home. The property had historically been <br />vacant agriculture land prior to Jim purchasing the property. Jim then constructed a pole barn in <br />1995 and is currently residing at the property. <br />The two (2) Rehbein land parcels were purchased by the Rehbein family in 2008. No structures <br />or dwellings were ever constructed on the property by the Rehbein family, and both land <br />parcels have been utilized for agriculture purposes, specifically raising hay. <br />Per discussions with both property owners, they confirmed there are no historically important <br />landscapes or archeological features to note. <br />Twin Cities Land Holdings, LLC is currently proposing an 86-residential lot subdivision (down <br />from 90), that includes (31-family homes and (55) attached townhomes. <br />Tom Hoffman, Environmental Coordinator for the City of Lino Lakes, presented and was <br />available for questions. <br />Ms. Larkin inquired about the depth of the stormwater ponds in the development. <br />Mr. Hoffman answered that the depths will vary but noted that they will be similar to the design <br />- <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br /> <br />
