5. ACTION ITEMS
A. Lino Lakes Elementary Renovation
Lino Lakes Elementary School was originally built in 1957. This renovation project will
result in an additional 4 classrooms totaling 7800sf to the building. There will also be a
large gathering space at the front/south side of the building and an outdoor classroom to
the west side of the building.
Mr. Asleson introduced Nick Mantel with Louck's Engineering who is in charge of the
renovation.
Grading Plan and Stormwater Management
On the 19.99 acre site, a drainage area of about 6.01 acres was included in the site
hydrological analysis. 1.34 acres of disturbed area is pervious area that will be replace to
match existing conditions.
The proposed site BMP's will consist of an infiltration basin for treatment, volume
control and rate control prior to discharging to the wetland to the north. The
reconstructed parking lot and the building addition will convey stormwater to the
infiltration basin using a storm sewer pipe system. The proposed site contains 46.3%
impervious surface area. Which includes the reconstructed portion of the parking lot and
roof drains that are being captured by the storm sewer system.
Ms. Kaufenberg inquired about the drainage of the impervious surface area and the
presence of infiltration ponds.
Mr. Mantel explained how the infiltration ponds will capture the required 1.1 inches of
rainfall over the new/reconstructed impervious surfaces on the site and the downspouts
from the building with a maximum drawn down time of 48 hours.
The proposed site contains two drainage areas. One area is the area where the new
infiltration pond will be placed. There will be a storm manhole directly upstream of the
infiltration basin and will include a 3 foot sump and energy dissipater with skimmer for
pretreatment. The other drainage area will flow offsite to the north.
A stormwater maintenance agreement will be required.
Soils
The soil also meet the infiltration standards for infiltration ponds. That is, it is an
assumed infiltration rate of 0.45 inches per hour based on the soil borings.

Wetlands
The project does not appear to be impacting any wetlands.
Floodplain
There is Zone A floodplain along the east side of the site but there are no impacts.
Trees Preservation
Recommend moving the Arbor Day trees. In order to save the Arbor Day trees from
destruction, it is proposed to move these trees out of grading area
Ms. Klebba asked if moving the Arbor Day trees is feasible.
Mr. Mantel said yes it has been mentioned by Marty and also the school district. They
will be talking to the contractor about moving the trees to a safe location until the
construction is done.
Landscaping
Proposed landscape plants (trees and shrubs) are all appropriate plant materials.
Native seed mixes for the pond and upland areas must be approved by the city.
Recommend a short native mix for the upland area.
Ms. Andrzejewski motioned to forward the Lino Lakes Elementary School site plan to
the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council with our recommendations and
comments. It was seconded by Ms. Kaufenberg. Motioned carried 5-0.
6. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Birds in our Backyard
Mr. Heiskary thought that it was a good presentation and nice to see extra people in
the audience.
Ms. Kaufenberg said it was very informative.
B. Peltier Lake Drawdown, Update
There has been two slabs of the dam removed, but now with the addition rain the lake
has now risen to the top of the dam.
Mr. Heiskary said that the shoreline is where the majority of the curly weed is
saturated. So just to get the shore line exposed is great.

this lake and also with the Chain of Lakes.
