• • • The third task involved providing guidance and information on future trunk sewers and lift stations that will be necessary to accommodate the City's anticipated growth and development. This included reviewing and updating the City's proposed land -use and staged development map, estimating the number of housing units and commercial /industrial properties in the future development sites, and providing solutions for the connection of new lateral sewers to the existing trunk sewer system. The general alignment of new trunk sewers and lift station locations was determined. Each lift station's general service area was identified. The final task was the preparation of a Plan document summarizing the findings of this investigation and formulating recommendations to the City Council. Lino Lakes Demographic Profile and Forecasts Background The community of Lino Lakes anticipates significant growth in upcoming years. Planning for growth poses significant opportunities and challenges for the community. The City's land use plan is an important tool to ensure that the City is adequately prepared to respond to these opportunities and challenges. The land use plan plays a key role in managing growth within the City. The land use plan builds on the plan vision, goals, and strategies to establish a policy framework in which future development will occur. The future land use map is also used to estimate the community's capacity to accommodate projected household and employment growth. Sewer, water, and transportation infrastructure plans are based on the forecasts and development information presented in the land use plan. Figure 7 -3 shows the existing sanitary sewer system and proposed future trunk sewers superimposed over the proposed Future Land Use Plan. Chapter 3: Land Use includes a more detailed discussion of land use and development trends.
