AGENDA ITEM VI -A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Mary Alice Divine P & Z MEETING DATE: September 10, 2003 TOPIC: Village Update ACTION REQUIRED: None BACKGROUND Lino Lakes staff has been working since early 2003 with the Hartford Group, a development firm based in Eden Prairie, on a proposal for completion of the "Village" project on the southeast quadrant of 35W and Lake Drive. A development plan and design standards for this site were originally developed by Calthorpe Associates and completed in 2000. The city has pursued development of this site according to this plan, with the ultimate goal the creation of a new "downtown" Lino Lakes. SITE The site is comprised of approximately 60 acres total, and consists of three components: 1. The Tagg Site. This site consists of 30 acres comprised of the Arctic Sandblasting facility and the Tagg family home. The Hartford Group has entered into a purchase agreement with the Taggs that is contingent upon city approvals of the project. 2. City -owned property of approximately 11.7 acres. This land was purchased by the city on Contracts for Deed in the late 1990's. Two parcels were sold to Lino Lakes State Bank and Fairview Clinic. The Hartford Group has entered into a purchase agreement with the city contingent upon city approvals. 3. City -owned property of approximately 14 acres. This parcel was a part of a land trade with Anoka County. Because this land was taken out of the regional park, the Metropolitan Council had ultimate approval. A condition of approval was that the parcel could be used only for public use, and not sold to a private developer. The Civic Complex was built on the site, and approximately 6.7 acres were set aside for the future YMCA. •
