9. Table 3 -1: I know that NO TWO CITIES are alike - - -but is there an average composition of land use in the suburbs? I don't know how you compare - - -I see that commercial is less than 1% now (future closer to 3 %) Open water and parks have a huge percentage. From a marketing perspective how does Lino compare to the average City? Can we use that to our advantage - -- our unique "value proposition" for residential and commercial growth? 10.Table 3-4 -- -mixed use site characteristics - - -- Centerville Rd /CR J is 50/50 and Centerville Rd /Birch at 80 /20 - - -how were these derived? 11. Reference was made in our plan as to the Twin City Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) -- -page 4 -11. How much information were you actually able to attain from the City of Arden Hills on the plans for the TCAAP? Is there a set timeline for development? The plan also mentions that the demand for rental housing may increase because of this development. Why in Lino Lakes? 12. Page 5 -5 -- -table 5 -2 from DEED I would like to see our City be proactive in getting key growth industries into our City —DEED mentions that education /health services, professional /business services and hospitality. 13. Page 5 -9 highlights the need for strong retail growth. Does our plan address this need? 14. Employment. DEED has the City at around 4,000 now. Explain how we get to the 2030 number. 15. Lake Drive - -- development - - -is only the North side addressed? 16. What is the impact on the city if funding for transit remains constant in today's dollars? The City is obviously dependent on outside funding - - -how do we influence and get results ( I am sure that every City is asking this) for mass transit, Park and Rides, Rush Line Corridor and Public Transit? How do we fulfill our plan /strategies? 17. Does the expansion of the Airport in Blaine have any impact on our comprehensive plan?
