I -35E Corridor Alternative Urban Areawide Review <br />Lino Lakes, MN <br />DSU led a consultant team <br />including Applied Ecological <br />Services, URS, The 106 Group <br />and TKDA in the preparation of <br />an AUAR for the I -35E Corridor <br />Area in the City of Lino Lakes. <br />A key strategy of the AUAR <br />Mitigation Plan was the creation <br />of the Conservation Design <br />Framework (CDF) that will guide <br />future development. The CDF <br />conserves wildlife habitat and <br />natural plant communities and <br />provides for multifunctional <br />greenway corridors for wildlife <br />movement, trails, and stormwa- <br />ter management. <br />An Advisory Panel comprised of <br />property owners, citizen boards <br />representatives, and developers <br />served as the primary working <br />group during the course of the <br />research, planning and environ- <br />mental review process. <br />DSU conducted a series of work- <br />shops with the AUAR reviewing <br />agencies. Engaging agency staff <br />early and often during the AUAR <br />process was key to the success <br />of the AUAR as demonstrated in <br />the Draft AUAR comment letters. <br />Anoka County <br />The city has engaged a wide range of stake- <br />holders, including the DNR, in a very effective <br />gathering and exchange of information, <br />leading to a document that is complete and <br />accurate." <br />- Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br />"The city should be commended for <br />basing the land uses in the DraftAUAR <br />scenarios on its commitment to conserving <br />natural resources and for attempting to <br />balance development with natural resource <br />conservation." <br />- Metropolitan Council <br />
