Economic Development Plan <br />Key goals of the Economic Development Plan are to expand and diversify the city's tax <br />base and promote planned expansion within the City's growth areas and accessibility to <br />public infrastructure. The I -35E Corridor has been identified as a key development area <br />and "gateway" to Lino Lakes. <br />Transportation Plan <br />Per the Transportation Plan, the Otter Lake Road extension is recommended to be <br />classified as an "A" minor expander. This route will serve as the main north -south route <br />in the eastern portion of the city, providing a reliever function to I -35E and is critical to <br />the development of this corridor. <br />Transportation includes all multi -modal systems which accommodate pedestrians, <br />bicycles, roadways and transit. The Park, Greenway & Trail System Plan identifies the <br />need for a proposed north -south City trail which will be installed with the extension of <br />Otter Lake Drive. <br />Planning Districts <br />The project area is located in Planning District 5 and the Peltier, Hardwood Creek and <br />Upper Rice Creek Resource Management Units (RMU). A greenway system is identified <br />on the north end of the subject property. <br />ALTERNATIVE URBAN AREAWIDE REVIEW (AUAR) <br />The subject site is within the I -35E Corridor AUAR and is subject to the AUAR <br />mitigation plan. Overall, the proposed subdivision complies with the AUAR mitigation <br />plan in regards to natural resources, erosion control, surface water runoff, wastewater, <br />cultural resources and farmlands. A major component of the AUAR is traffic and <br />supporting transportation corridors. The extension of Otter Lake Road is identified as an <br />important roadway improvement. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the approval of the preliminary and final plat of "Main Street <br />Shoppes" subject to the following conditions: <br />1.
