Background The Legacy at Woods Edge is a proposed mixed-use development that includes commercial (downtown retail), high density residential, and recreational facilities (YMCA). The proposed site is approximately 40 acres in size, is adjacent to the City Hall complex, and is bounded by I -35W on the north, Lake Drive (CSAH 23) on the west, and Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve on the east. There is a bank building and a clinic within the project area abutting the east side of Lake Drive, and both buildings are to be preserved and incorporated into site development. The City has reached an agreement with the YMCA to include a facility in the overall development plan. Approximately 29.5 acres within the site are privately owned (the Tagg property) and the Hartford Group has negotiated a purchase agreement for the property. The City owns the remaining property. SEH is in the process of completing an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the project and is also completing a traffic study of the adjacent Lake Drive corridor. Scope of Services A detailed Scope of Services is attached to this proposal as Exhibit A. The Scope of Services identified will be used to establish right-of-way corridors for the project, to define the extent of improvements needed for Lake Drive, and to prepare a report that evaluates the feasibility of installing public improvements to support development of the site. Our proposed Scope of Services is summarized as follows: Concept Plan Refinement We will perform a preliminary survey of Lake Drive and gather available digital site mapping data from the City and the Hartford Group to prepare a digital base map for the site. We will review the Lino Lakes Town Center Design and Development Guide, as prepared by Calthorpe Associates, to identify features and amenities that can be incorporated into the overall site plan. We will assist the City in reviewing architectural treatments and features proposed by the developer.
