Baldwin RMU Existing Conditions Recommendations: • Stormwater- sensitive wetlands are at risk under current conditions. The City can examine volume reduction practices in the catchments for these sensitive wetlands. Planning District 2 Overall Recommendations • In areas of small lots under multiple property ownership, land assembly and redevelopment efforts should be promoted to facilitate implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. • A number of small isolated industrial sites along CSAH 23 are out of character with the surrounding land uses. The City will pursue the relocation of these industries into a community industrial park and redevelopment of these existing industrial sites. • The City will continue to work with the State of Minnesota to monitor any expansion, improvements, or change in activities associated with Lino Lakes Correctional Institution. • The Lino Air Park and Seaside Seaplane Base are designated as long term land uses. New development occurring in the vicinity of the these private air parks should be designed with an awareness of airfield operations. • Continue to support and promote the development of the southeast quadrant of Lake Drive (CSAH 23)/ I -35W interchange as a special community focus. • Support planning for connecting Main Street to 80th Street via a 'northern connection', including a new 35E interchange and a new 35W interchange, as described in the 2004 CSAH 14 Study and Chapter 6: Transportation Plan. • Prepare a special planning study of the Main Street /Lake Drive intersection area to examine existing land use, future land use compatibility, right of way needs, access management, stormwater management, and other appropriate issues. This study area should extend south to include James Street, Vicky Lane, and Kelly Street intersections. • Work with Anoka County to prepare an access management plan for Lake Drive (CSAH 23). • Pursue development of parcels north of 77th Street on the west side of Lake Drive (CSAH 23), currently owned by the City. • Pursue redevelopment of the 77th Street intersection with Lake Drive, including the realignment of 77th Street west of Lake Drive to align with Marketplace Drive on the east. • Promote the planning and development /redevelopment of the Town Center Parkway area west of Lake Drive to ensure coordinated design and access and the compatibility of land uses. • An area along the west side of I -35W, around the eastern part of Oak Lane, is guided for permanent Rural Land Use on the Land Use Plan. Figure 10 -5 shows the 2030 future land use for Planning District 2. It is not likely that this area can be economically served with municipal utilities because of extensive wetlands and the minimal amount of developable land. 10 -10 • •
