• BACKGROUND <br />• <br />In August of 2004, the City of Lino Lakes began a master planning process for the area <br />surrounding the intersection of Hodgson Road and County Road J. (Hodgson Road is CSAH <br />49, and Co. Rd. J is Ash Street.) The intersection of Hodgson Rd. and CR J is an important <br />gateway into Lino Lakes, but the current appearance of this location needs improvement. <br />While this has been known for some time, landowner interest in redeveloping the restaurant <br />site on the northwest corner catalyzed the master planning project and focused attention on <br />the area. <br />map by Landform <br />The intersection area is dominated by parking lots and automobiles. The restaurant/bar on <br />the northwest corner is boarded up, and some other properties are vacant. In order to address <br />these deficiencies, redevelopment of some parcels is as important as developing unused or <br />underused properties. However, a number of shortcomings must be corrected in order to <br />support development. <br />Draft: October 31, 2006 Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 2 <br />-J <br />it <br />St! <br />r <br />__ <br />( 1 <br />- <br />: kes <br />MO L <br />Study <br />Area <br />i10°r' <br />map by Landform <br />The intersection area is dominated by parking lots and automobiles.
