The applicant has <br />submitted additional information addressing issues discussed in the October meeting. <br />This report addresses the JADT PDO application. <br />In June 1998, the Lino Lakes Planning Commission and City Council reviewed and <br />approved a concept plan illustrating the general layout of a shopping center and <br />surrounding sites on the northeast quadrant of the I -35W /Lake Drive interchange. This <br />concept plan envisioned an attractive and integrated shopping environment anchored by <br />a community- oriented shopping center. In this concept plan, the applicant was requesting <br />various design flexibilities that go beyond the SC, Shopping Center District and other <br />development regulations: <br />1. Variable lot sizes smaller than district standards. <br />2. Setback flexibility for both building and parking. <br />3. Private streets. <br />4. Lot frontage. <br />In consideration of the concept plan, the City emphasized the following design elements <br />in its approval. <br />1. Environmental sensitive design related to green space, landscaping, tree <br />preservation, storm water infiltration, integration of site design with natural <br />amenities. <br />5775 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, SUITE 555 ST.
