POLICY PLAN <br />h. Ensure that greenways serve all community residents through the <br />protection of view sheds and the provision of pedestrian trails within the <br />greenway corridor. Pedestrian trails will be located and designed within <br />the greenways in a manner that will not degrade the natural features of the <br />greenway. <br />Create an awareness of the value and importance of greenways through <br />community education, volunteerism in greenway maintenance, and citizen <br />stewardship activities. <br />Vegetation <br />1. Encourage the preservation of natural vegetation including plants of Oak <br />Savannas, prairies, woodlands, wetlands and aquatic vegetation to be a design <br />consideration for new subdivisions. <br />2. Examine the Lino Lakes landscaping and tree preservation ordinances to <br />determine the need for additional requirements. <br />3. Implement programs designed to protect trees through disease control and re- <br />forestation. <br />4. Require proper soil preparation for new development to insure deep rooting of <br />new landscaping and minimal irrigation. <br />5. Promote the use of native grasses, forbes, shrubs and trees in development site <br />restoration. <br />Discourage the use of herbicides, pesticides, and phosphorous fertilizers on <br />lawns to prevent runoff to wetland areas. <br />7. Implement strategies for the control of invasive /exotic plant species in <br />greenways, natural areas, and open spaces. <br />Soils <br />1. In areas of soils (hydric soils) that have limitations for development, soil testing <br />will be required to identify the soil correction measures necessary to insure safe <br />and quality construction. <br />2. Drain tile around building foundations and streets will be required in soil areas <br />characterized by moisture retention, high water tables, or perched water tables. <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE LINO LAKES <br />24 DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK <br />
