Knit 4 4144 ' SRF Consulting Group, Inc. City of Lino Lakes Conditional Use Permit Narrative Eagle Brook Church — Lino Lakes Campus Development 0 OF' SRF Consulting Group, Inc. in coordination with BWBR Architects is submitting the following Plans and computations in support of the conditional use permit application for the Eagle Brook Church Campus Development. Eagle Brook Church proposes a new church on a 91.2 -acre site located in Lino Lakes on County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 21, 11/4 miles north of CSAH 14, south of the intersection of I -35W and I -35E. The project is located within Section 11 in T 31N, R 22W in Anoka County. Existing Conditions The project site currently contains a farmstead consisting of a two -story single - family - house, a garage, a barn, and silo located on the south portion of the property. Approximately 60 acres of the property is cultivated for crop production that includes coin, soybeans, and a tree farm. The remainder of the property consists of natural wetlands and woodlands. Existing land uses on adjacent properties include rural, agricultural and large -lot residential uses. To the north and south are privately owned agricultural and rural residential properties. Peltier Lake is _ located to the west of the proposed project and is adjacent to a small comer of the parcel on the southwest. Based on data provided on the DNR website, Peltier Lake normal water level (NWL) is estimated at 884.50 feet, the ordinary high water (OHW) level is 884.70 feet, and the highest flood elevation recorded is measured at 886.63 feet. County Ditch 72 passes through the property from southeast to northwest. The ditch is shown on the Anoka County 1/2 section maps but a drainage easement of record has not been discovered that covers this ditch within the proposed development area Two lines comprise County Ditch 72 - Main and Branch 1. Both Main and Branch 1 consist of drain tile buried below ground. The Main drain tile line begins approximately 4,300 feet southeast of the property and Branch 1 begins approximately 2,500 feet south of the property line. County Ditch 72 drains between 590 and 650 acres. A number of short drain tile laterals are also connected to the Main and Branch 1 within the property. The Main drain tile daylights into a shallow open channel which discharges into a wetland attached to Peltier Lake. There are no distinguishing surface characteristics demarcating the County Ditch 72 drain tile and its laterals until it surfaces near the wetland. Agricultural cultivation currently occurs directly over the majority of drain tile within the property. County Ditch 72 is regulated by the Rice Creek Watershed District. Storm water runoff from County Road 21 is currently routed through a system of road - side vegetated swales to a wetland system to the north and to a vegetated swale system to the south of the property. No pretreatment of the storm water occurs prior to discharge from the swales to the wetlands. H: \Civil \047 \4443\sent\BWBR \10 -17 -03 \City submittal narrative.doc
