NORTH OAKS CONCEPT PUD (Planned Unit Development)
Mr. Grochala, Director, presented the concept plans from the North Oaks Company.
The proposed master planned residential community is a PUD located south of County Road
J/Ash Street, west of CSAH 21/Centerville Road and north of Wilkinson Lake Boulevard. It
contains 2 parcels totaling approximately 46 gross acres consisting of 27 single family homes, 17
(34 Units) twin homes and a 75 -100 senior rental housing totaling 136-161 units with no
commercial component.
Mr. Grochala asked the board to discuss the necessity of having a commercial component with
the site or how we could accommodate one in the future if markets change.
The committee discussed the opportunities and the issues with the commercial component;
analyzing the intersection as it is an entrance into Lino Lakes. There was a consensus with the
committee members that a current market study should be completed to help guide the
development in the area.
BUSINESS RETENTION & EXPANSION PROGRAM
Mr. Grochala briefly mentioned that Ms. Barsness is still working on developing more steps for a
working plan and a cost estimate breakdown.

PROJECT UPDATES
Mr. Grochala provided an overview of ongoing projects throughout Lino Lakes. Staff has
continued its efforts working with the property owner to demolish the 49 Club however, due to
developer’s interest in the property the owner doesn’t wish to purse demolition. The developers
interested in the 49 Club and the Jenson property are in the concept phases of design and likely
will submit their plans sometime this winter. Mattamy Homes will likely submit plans at the end
of December for the Watermark project; the development of 372 acres located in the northwest
quadrat of I-35E and Main St. Storm water drainage is the main area of concern for the
watermark project as feasibility studies are being conducted for the area. Staff is also working
with developers interested in area throughout Legacy at the Woods Edge.
