• BACKGROUND • • The applicant has submitted a Land Use Application for a 36 unit, single level addition to the existing Lino Lakes Assisted Living, LLC facility located at 725 Town Center Parkway. The addition is approximately 28, 100 square feet. The project includes a final plat, drainage and utility easement vacation, site plan review and variance. On April 10, 2013, the Planning & Zoning Board made recommendation to the City Council to approve the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat, Site Plan and Variance as it relates to The Village No. 5 and the Lino Lakes Assisted Living addition. On April 22, 2013, the City Council held a public hearing and first reading for the Vacating of a Drainage & Utility Easement as it relates to The Village No. 4. The project is located within the Legacy at Woods Edge project and is subject to the Lino Lakes Town Center Design & Development Guide. These regulating zoning standards shall be applied to the site and building plan review. The subject site is located within the 50% build -to line which requires at least 50% of the block length must contain building fronts, parks or plazas within 5 feet of the right of way. The proposed addition is located 19 feet from the right of way line and a variance shall be required. Matching the setback of the existing building constitutes use of the property in a reasonable manner. Requiring the maximum 5 foot setback would create an "unbalanced" look and feel of the addition in comparison to the existing building. The proposed 19 foot setback also provides adequate distance for a drainage and utility easement necessary for the watermain relocation. The final plat for The Village No. 5 is consistent with the preliminary plat and meets the requirements of the City Subdivision and Zoning Ordinance. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Title Commitment. The City Engineer has prepared the Development Agreement which provides for the submittal of fees and securities to cover City review costs and ensure completion of the public and private improvements in accordance with the approved plans. The Village No. 5 final plat is a combination of Lot 4, Block 1 and Outlot A, The Village No. 4. The drainage and utility easement that exists between the parcels needs to be vacated. The existing watermain under this easement will be relocated to the southeast due to the location of the new addition and a new easement shall be dedicated. Ideally, this new easement would be dedicated on the final plat but a separate document may be recorded. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of the following items with conditions listed per resolution or ordinance: 1. Resolution No. 13 -53 Approving Variance to Increase the Maximum Right of Way Setback for the Lino Lakes Assisted Living Addition, 725 Town Center Parkway
