The City of Columbus would like to express their interest in <br />cooperative planning with the City of Lino Lakes and offers the following <br />suggestions and/or comments related to the proposed development <br />• The City would like to explore the opportunity to evaluate /discuss any common <br />improvements to Pine Street. Would the developer be willing to complete <br />improvements on Pine Street prior to the last phase of the project? <br />• We strongly recommend that Pine Street not be used as a construction road or <br />haul road for the project. <br />• if the improvements are not completed on CSAH 14 prior to the development, we <br />believe that the traffic flow analysis would not be accurate and could impact Pine <br />Street. <br />• Columbus is interested in discussing the future possibility of extending sewer and <br />water utilities further north on Lake Drive on a cooperative basis perhaps through <br />a Joint Powers Agreement and/or alternate joint arrangement. <br />Should you have any questions, please contact me at the City Hall Offices. <br />Sincerely, <br />e_SL <br />Elizabeth Mursko <br />City Administrator <br />City of Columbus 16319 Kettle River Boulevard Columbus, Minnesota 55025 <br />
