SSR & W Minor Subdivision page 2 ANALYSIS The land use and zoning are shown in the following table. The comprehensive plan guides the site for low density sewered residential development. That is, the long -range plan for the site and much of its immediate area is to serve it with utilities to allow for residential development. It is in a stage 2 area, so utilities will not be available until after year 2010. There is a conceptual greenway indicated over much of the area. A greenway is an area that may be appropriate as protected open space because of environmental features. Greenways are conceptual because creating them is opportunity based: short of actually purchasing the land, the City must depend on the development proposals submitted. The Tong -range plan for a road in the area will, at the appropriate time, need to consider the potential for preserving a greenway. Transportation Plan: Main St. Connection and Access Management Recommendations for Planning District 3 from the 2001 Comprehensive Plan include investigating the possibility of an easterly connection to Main St.. The Transportation Plan recommends this connection in the vicinity of the eastem end of Oak Lane and West Rondeau Lake Rd. An access management study was prepared for Main St. by Anoka County and participating cities including Lino Lakes. The study, completed in 1999, recommends a full access intersection at West Rondeau Lake Rd. Because W. Rondeau Lake Rd. already exists, this is a logical location. A road connecting West Rondeau to Oak Lane would fulfill these needs and should be acquired when property on the south side of Main St. develops in the future. It is standard procedure to acquire right -of way as part of a development/platting process. Existing Land Use Map New Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map Zoning site Rural Low Dens.
