BACKGROUND <br />In August of 2004, the City of Lino Lakes began a master planning process for the area <br />surrounding the intersection of Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) and County Road J (Ash Street). <br />The intersection of Hodgson Road and CR J is an important gateway into Lino Lakes, but the <br />current appearance of this location needs improvement. While this has been known for some <br />time, landowner interest in redeveloping the restaurant site on the northwest corner catalyzed <br />the master planning project and focused attention on the area. <br />map by Landform <br />The intersection area is dominated by parking lots and automobiles. The restaurant/bar on <br />the northwest corner is boarded up, and some other properties are vacant. In order to address <br />these deficiencies, redevelopment of some parcels is as important as developing unused or <br />underused properties. However, a number of shortcomings must be corrected in order to <br />support development. <br />Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 2 <br />
