Mr. Jeff Smyser December 13, 2006 Page 10 Lighting Plan A lighting plan and photometric study of the Site has been prepared and is submitted. Consistent Site Layouts All of the plans submitted have the same layout for the Site. Floor Plans and Elevations for Housing Product The architectural plans contain complete floor plans and elevations for the assisted living buildings, the single story building linking the assisted living buildings, and the townhomes per Lino Lakes' Subdivision Ordinance, Preliminary Plat § 1004 -1 -8. Plans and elevations for the retail / commercial pads are not yet available nor does the City require them at this time. Building pad and minimum building set backs are shown for all proposed commercial buildings per Lino Lakes' Subdivision Ordinance, Preliminary Plat § 1104 -1 -3. Additional Public Benefits City Parks /Trails In addition to proposing trails winding through the residential component of the Site, the City has the authority to receive fees paid in lieu of land dedication to support the City's overall parks and open space goals. Increased Tax Base The Site is underdeveloped and contributes very little property tax to the City's general fund. As proposed, the Site will dramatically increase the property tax paid to the City. This benefit will be realized immediately as the project does not rely on tax increment financing or any other public subsidy. Quality of Life The City's Quality of Life Study shows that there is a desire to see future development to address core quality of life issues. The Comforts of Home / CORE proposal can assist the City in achieving some of these citizen requests. 1. Transportation Improvements. The community wants to achieve traffic safety improvements at Hodgson Road and County Road J. Coordinating the improvements planned for this intersection and the development to the north will achieve access management and planning for increasing traffic in the area. • • •
