These concerns relate to public utilities, <br />roadway improvements and land use. <br />Public Utilities <br />There is an existing extension of Shoreview's sanitary sewer system north of County <br />Road J along the west side of the property that used to be known as the "49 Club" and to <br />the 2 businesses just north of there. The City will continue to allow that extension to <br />function so long as its purpose does not change. No further extension or intensification <br />of its use should be assumed as part of this redevelopment concept. Shoreview's <br />Comprehensive Plan does not identify a larger or expanded sewer system service area in <br />Lino Lakes and it is generally problematic for a City to have non- residential sanitary <br />sewage generators/customers outside of its corporate limits. Redevelopment of this area <br />should be providing the opportunity for service from Lino Lake's municipal sewer and <br />water systems. <br />Roadway improvements <br />The Concept Plan identifies roadway improvements and configurations along Hodgson <br />Road, north of County Road J, which to our knowledge have not been programmed. <br />Further an entry road is proposed over property not owned by the developer that provides <br />access to County Road J. Further dialogue is needed between Lino Lakes, Shoreview, <br />Ramsey and Anoka Counties regarding these proposed improvements and the <br />configuration of the Highway 49 /County Road J intersection. Shoreview recently <br />installed a traffic signal and made minor adjustments to the intersection to address <br />congestion issues that were occurring at the intersection. These improvements were not <br />designed to accommodate anticipated traffic generated by a development of this nature. <br />• <br />
