Park Board Comments -October 6, 2014: • Overall comments were in favor of the development. • Proposed community center would need to be owned and operated by an association; not the city. • Public trail should be rerouted through greenway on north side of development. • Trail connections should be made from cul de sacs or mid -block on long street sections to greenway trail. • Need to provide shorter looping of trail system. • Bump outs along the street shall be installed to serve as parking for the public park. • Trail shall be extended along 20th Avenue. • Provide better trail access to park. • Discussed maintenance of sidewalks. • Discussed that sidewalks are not credited for park dedication but trails are credited. Planning & Zoning Board Comments -October 8, 2014 • Overall comments were in favor of the development. • A mixed use area should include some commercial development. • Discussion as to whether a market study should be done. • Consider turn lanes on 20th Avenue. Staff noted that a street light will also be considered. • Ensure adequate parking space for the public park. • A utility phasing plan will allow for development in other areas of the city. • City should get the best product for the city rather than the quickest development. • Consider creating an outlot to be used for future commercial development. • Variety of lot sizes and widths and housing products are supported by the Board. EDAC Comments -October 9, 2014 • Overall comments were in favor of the development. • Recommended retaining commercial land in the project. Council Work Session -November 3, 2014 • Mayor Reinert expressed concern about the lack of change from the last review of the project. The project looks "off weight" for Lino Lakes. Community Development Director Grochala noted that the area is generally guided for medium density and that is what the plans indicate. • Commercial development possibilities. • Townhome location. • Lot sizes, street widths and setbacks. • The parkland should be developed early and there is funding in first phase to do so; trails would be included. • Density requirements are linked to Comp Plan but that can be amended. • 20th Avenue traffic; a traffic analysis will be included.
