• Plan for the extension of Sunset Road (Co. Rd. 53) to the north of Main Street. • Continue to implement the Main Street (TH 242 /CSAH 14) Access Management Study. Coordinate with Anoka County on any future updates of the study. • Work with Anoka County on the creation of a new full- access intersection on Main Street at a new road at the 200 block, consistent with the Main Street (TH 242 /CSAH 14) Access Management Study. • Gateways should be planned and created at the interchange of I -35W and Lake Drive (CSAH 23); at the Lake Drive and Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) intersection; and on Main Street (CSAH 14) at Sunset Road (CR 53). Mixed Use Areas Guidance and Recommendations Town Center, Southeast Quadrant of I -35W Interchange The southeast quadrant of the I -35W /Lake Drive interchange represents the mixed -use section of the Lino Lakes Town Center, often called the Legacy At Woods Edge. This area is intended to integrate a mixture of commercial, medium and high density residential, and public land uses in an attractive and cohesive design. The interchange area is "downtown" Lino Lakes, and the southeast quadrant is its civic focus. City Hall, a YMCA, and a community green emphasize the community focus. The concept plan emphasizes the following design objectives: • A 66 acre complex of buildings in a controlled setting. • An integrated mix of uses that responds to residents' needs. • A gathering place that creates a sense of community, civic identity and pride. • A place that defines the unique character of the community. • An economic development initiative to increase the commercial tax base. • A distinctive, consistent architectural style that promotes high quality, aesthetically pleasing buildings. A complete "Design and Development Guide" has been adopted to support the community's vision and establish standards for all development in the Legacy area. Planning assumed that approximately 34 acres would develop with residential uses at approximately 13 units per acre. SE corner of Lake Drive and 77th Street This area consists of four parcels. Two lots were the site of a home delivery food business. The other two parcels have been used for residential purposes. A duplex is found on each of the two. The entire area is approximately three acres. Lake Drive forms the west border of the site. The Marketplace commercial development borders the site on the south and east sides. To the north is the Carole's Estates residential neighborhood. Municipal water and sanitary sewer are available in 77th Street. Access is provided by 77th Street, but the goal is to construct an access to redevelopment of the area via a city-owned parcel that includes Marketplace Drive at its intersection with Lake Drive. The site could accommodate some multifamily housing as well as commercial use that, because of its size and shape and the existing utilities corridor, likely would be on a smaller scale than the neighboring 10 -12 • •
