Creator of value. 5125 COUNTY ROAD 101 • #100 • MINNETONKA, MN 55345 • PHONE: 952/294 -0353 • FAX: 952/294 -0151 • WEB: www.oppidan.com June 17, 2011 Mr. Michael Grochala, Community Development Director City of Lino Lakes 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55447 RE: Concept Plan Review Application Proposed Development NWC Hodgson Road & County Road J (Ash Street) Dear Mike: RECEIVED JUN 282011 CllY OF LINO LAKES The following is a brief overview of the proposed development by Oppidan, Inc. at the northwest corner of Hodgson Road & County Road J (Ash Street) in Lino Lakes. The parcel proposed is approximately 8 acres of a larger, 17 acre parcel, owned by the Jensen family. Oppidan currently has the right to purchase the property through an executed Purchase Agreement for the property with the Jensen Family. Evidence of the Purchase Agreement is included with this application. This site has been investigated by other developers over the course of the last 5 -10 years. Each time, the site has not moved forward because of issues related to the proposed development (i.e. cost of off-site upgrades needed, neighbor concerns, etc.). The City Council has previously approved a Master Plan for this intersection (2007), identifying both sides of Hodgson for future development /redevelopment. The Master Plan included an upgrade of the entire roadway system and utilities extensions to provide availability to the entire Plan area. However, with multiple property owners involved, varying goals and beliefs of the various land owners and current economic conditions, it seems more realistic that an individual site would be the leader to start the infrastructure improvements that makes then entire identified area developable, rather than all property owners coming together to complete the entire Plan at the same time. Specific Development Information: • Construction of a grocery store of approximately 49,500 s.f. • Construction of a liquor store, adjacent to the grocery store, of approximately 3,500 s.f. • Construction of a multi- tenant outbuilding of approximately 6,500 s.f. within the site (north side as currently proposed). • Construction of a Private Shared Access Drive for the entire 17 acre parcel, at a point approximately 1,100 feet north of the intersection of Hodgson Road and County Road J, as discussed with Anoka County and the City of Lino Lakes. • Extension of a Water Main from Ravens Court, to the north of the site, down to County Road J, providing water service for this site and other sites along Hodgson Road as well as the potential for looping of existing lines.
