• Roads Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) is an arterial road that runs from Lino Lakes south into central St. Paul. County Road J, (CSAH 1, CSAH 32 or Ash Street), is an arterial running across much of Anoka County, from State Trunk Highway 65 on the west to I -35E on the east. Co. Rd. J forms the boundary between Lino Lakes and Shoreview. It also is the boundary of Anoka County and Ramsey County, which share responsibilities for CR J. Existing Land Uses The study area includes a variety of residential and commercial uses. A garden center, used auto lot, and auto repair business line the east side of Hodgson Rd. The auto sales business owner has acquired a five -acre lot immediately east of the existing sales lot. On the periphery of the study area, several single family homes exist on large, rural lots without water or sanitary sewer services. About 600 feet to the north is the new neighborhood of Ravens Hollow. A closed bar /restaurant sits on the northwest corner of Hodgson Road and CRJ. To the north of that is an insurance office. Next is a liquor store with an apartment on the second floor. Further north is a 17 -acre parcel running for 1000 feet up the west side of Hodgson. This parcel includes a house and some out buildings. Several existing neighborhoods border the study area: Woodridge Estates and Blomquist Addition to the west, Rohavic Oaks to the north, and homes south of CR J in Shoreview. Discussions with property owners at a March 2005 open house and throughout 2005 were a vital part of the study. Some want to develop their site, some want to continue the existing use for now, but have plans for future development. Others have no plan to change their use of their site. The figure below shows the existing uses. Draft. December 8, 2006 Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 6
