Staff has taken <br />24 some photos to show what some of the discussed density could look like. Also, staff will discuss <br />25 the Metropolitan Council minimum requirements and affordable housing criteria across all land <br />26 use types. <br />27 <br />28 The council reviewed new maps (utility staging and planned residential land by utility staging) <br />29 based on a five-year staging plan provided by Ms. Schlichting. She mentioned that wetlands <br />30 were taken out of the calculations. Staff also took off the non-residential areas so the council <br />31 could zone in (mixed use is included because it does include residential). Looking at text <br />32 modifications, a policy is added indicating a ten year staging plan with a five-year phasing plan. <br />33 It was confirmed that the council could be selective (one approved development doesn't open up <br />34 a whole area). The council discussed the number of lots that were already platted but not <br />35 developed. <br />36 <br />37 Regarding density, Ms. Schlichting explained that the new information provided indicates <br />38 calculations of 2030 new growth only. They applied the minimum and the maximum. Gross <br />39 density includes wetlands while net density takes them out. Using the average, the net density is <br />40 4.2 and gross is 5.2. The advisory panel didn't want to limit the high end of density (used 15 for <br />41 this exercise). <br />42 <br />43 The council reviewed photos of some products in the medium to high density range in other <br />44 cities (as well as the Legacy at Woods Edge proposal for Lino Lakes); they are all townhome <br />45 projects. <br />APPROVED <br />CITY OF LINO LAKES <br />MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION <br />DRAFT 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW <br />: November 17, 2008 <br />: 6:50 p.m. <br />: 7:27 p.m. <br />: Councilmember Gallup, O'Donnell, <br />Stoltz, Reinert and Mayor Bergeson <br />: None <br />
