Pine Glen page 4 The lift station for the project must be shown within a 50' x 50' property to be deeded to the city upon recordation of the plat. Grading and Stormwater Management: The city engineer reviewed the submittal and his comments are attached. Parks, Open Space: The proposal does not include any land dedication for parkland, only a cash dedication will be required. Park dedication fees are $2,075 per residential unit and $2,175 per commercial acre. The City of Lino Lakes Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan indicates a trail along the Lake Drive frontage that is not currently indicated on the proposed plans. A 15 foot wide trail easement will need to be dedicated to the city prior to any final plat being approved by the City Council. At one point the developer did indicate a private trial system through the development; this has been removed in favor of a public trail being planned within the Dupont Avenue right -of -way that was dedicated as part of the Lakeview Woodlands development to the south. The developer has included a 8 foot wide bituminous trail to connect the Dupont Avenue trail with the main east -west street of the development, the details of this segment of trail will be worked out with staff prior to construction. If installed by the developer the city will entertain an appropriate reduction in the park dedication fees. The eastern portion of the site is partially indicated as a greenway area on the City of Lino Lakes Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan. It also indicates a potential trail connection to the north to link up to the city park at old city hall. The applicant has previously discussed turning over the large greenway to the city. Staff is recommending this as a condition, with the stipulation that it will not reduce the park dedication fees required as part of the project. ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD The Environmental Board reviewed the project on July 27, 2005. The recommendations are attached and a number of the comments have been included as conditions of approval with this staff report. Including a conservation easement over the wetland portion of the site; native seed mix plantings with a three year management contract; a homeowner's association; City boulevard trees; and review of the commercial areas to require conformance with city standards. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing at the August 10, 2005 regular meeting, and recommended approval of the item with the attached conditions at the September 14, 2005 meeting. • • •
