development plan rather than individual development on numerous small parcels. It also may be possible to create a new public road on the west portion of the study area, but this option is unlikely, as noted above. The width and specific alignments of the internal roads and/or access drives will be examined with potential development designs. However, the points at which they access CR J and Hodgson Road are to be consistent with the descriptions above and as shown on the final Master Plan. Utilities: Water and Sanitary Sewer If the area is to develop, it must have municipal water and sanitary sewer service. Providing these utilities to the study area poses numerous challenges. The figures below shows the location of existing municipal utilities. Several potential locations for utility service connections have been considered: • Shoreview • Woodridge Lane • White Pine Road, approximately '/a mile to the north of the study area • Ravens Court, approximately 1/8 mile north of the study area • Ware Road There are several common issues for water and sanitary sewer service in this area. For an area that lacks both utilities, it is financially cost effective to plan both in the same alignment. This avoids the need to acquire easements for separate alignments, and both can be constructed at the same time. However, there are some issues that apply to one but not to the other. In particular, the need to loop the water system. Issues for utility service are described below. Water Main All the properties in the area with existing uses have individual wells for water. Homes on Woodridge Lane have municipal water, but there is no service between the Woodridge Estates neighborhood and Ware Rd. The City of Lino Lakes has recognized the need to loop its trunk lines. Water trunk looping is needed in order to provide adequate water service, particularly fire protection. Looping the system allows for better flow and water pressure. Looping also provides alternative service if water is interrupted from one direction. Neither the trunk in Woodridge Lane nor the trunk in Ware Rd. are looped to other trunks. Both trunks end near the Hodgson/CR J area. Draft: October 31, 2006 Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 19
