Grading and Stormwater Management: The city engineer has completed a thorough review of the submitted plans and his comments are attached. The applicant will be required to satisfy all of these comments prior to approval of any building permits for the site. Parks, Open Space: The proposal does not include any land dedication for parkland, only a cash dedication will be required. Park dedication fees are $1,665 per residential unit. The City of Lino Lakes Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan indicates a trail along the Lake Drive frontage that is not currently indicated on the proposed plans. A 15 foot wide trail easement will need to be dedicated to the city prior to any final plat being approved by the City Council. The proposal does include a private trial system running along the south side of the property, which will link the homeowner's on the west side of the site to the greenway /open space on the east side of the project. Staff is recommending that this trail be continued through the commercial portion of the site, as either a trail or a traditional sidewalk that ultimately leads to the commercial structure as well as to the trail required along the Lake Drive frontage The eastern portion of the site is partially indicated as a greenway area on the City of Lino Lakes Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan. It also indicates a potential trail connection to the north to link up to the city park at old city hall. At this time it is difficult to determine the best trail alignment so the city would anticipate working with the homeowner's association to obtain a trail easement in the future.
