2. Higher density site design and cohesive development <br />As commercial land becomes scarce and the City endeavors to promote more efficient land <br />use patterns, it is wise to consider a higher density target and cohesive site plan for this site. <br />Single lot redevelopment in this area would produce a series of small, single -use buildings <br />that would create inherent conflicts with adjacent parcels and design. <br />Setting a benchmark for building site coverage of 25 -30 %, shared parking and facilities (Le. <br />storm water retention) and relational cohesiveness of buildings (architecture, massing, <br />layout) would reinforce sound planning and place making. <br />3. Setting the stage for future development and redevelopment <br />The continued commercial development of Lake Drive, realignment of 77th street and <br />potential redevelopment will be a catalyst for other major improvements to Lake Drive and <br />the surrounding area. <br />Future planning would include (a) provisions for a "north-south" link between Apollo Drive and <br />77th Street west of Lake Drive; (b) future development opportunities for areas west of Lake <br />Drive between Apollo Drive and 77th Street; (c) other small scale reinvestment and infill <br />opportunities along the Lake Drive corridor. <br />4. Quality design, architecture and mix of desirable uses <br />To the extent that a City is interested in working with a single private developer to execute a <br />comprehensive redevelopment proposal, the city can exercise greater control of the specific <br />project and the process than through the traditional land use and zoning controls. <br />Redevelopment is a `process" that most often involves a partnership between the developer <br />and municipality. Due to the great number of issues that must be worked through and <br />resolved to achieve desire outcomes, defining the development objectives and aligning <br />expectations early on will create a win -win opportunity for all parties (landowners, developers, <br />city) that must participate to bring a vision to reality. <br />Anderson Development is interested in the potential for redevelopment of this area and will continue <br />its dialogue with the City of Lino Lakes on its ideas and study of the potential and feasibility of future <br />projects on Lake Drive. <br />Attachment: Conceptual Illustration <br />
