WHEREAS, a public meeting was held before the Planning & Zoning Board on August 10, 2016 and the Board recommended approval of the "Development"; and NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The City Council of The City of Lino Lakes hereby makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT Per Section 1007.024(1) Purpose and Intent, the PUD, by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this Ordinance related to setbacks, heights, lot area, width and depths, yards, etc., by conditional use permit or a mixture of uses by rezoning to a PUD District, is intended to encourage: 1. A development pattern in harmony with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The residential development is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan which anticipated development of this residential block as part of the mixed use Lino Lakes Town Center. Woods Edge is consistent with land and density requirements and provides market driven housing products that support life -cycle housing. 2. Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of economic expansion, greater variety in type, design, architectural standards, and siting of structures through the conservation and more efcient use of land in such developments. The project site was planned as the residential neighborhood block with the mixed use Town Center. The development will add urban townhomes in this planned development. This master planned community offers housing options not available nowhere else in the community. 3. The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. The site has limited natural desirable site characteristics. The site has been mass graded and has no significant tree stands. The storm water management system that was previously constructed will be upgraded and will incorporate additional improvements to meet current standards. 4. A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other. The master planned Town Center anticipated a mix of residential, commercial, office and public uses. This project will allow development of the residential block. 5. An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering development costs and public investments. The residential development will use existing streets and trunk utilities, which will reduce the development costs and required public investments. 6. Promotion of a desirable and creative environment that might be prevented through the strict application of City zoning and subdivision regulations. The purpose of the Town Center PUD was to create a mixed use development that could not otherwise have been constructed under the standard zoning and subdivision regulations. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of The City of Lino Lakes hereby establishes that Woods Edge shall be developed in accordance with the standards in the Lino Lakes Town Center Design & Development Guide as amended by Ordinance No. 06-16. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes that the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat is consistent with preliminary approvals granted by Resolution No. 16-67.

The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed the PUD Development Stage/Preliminary Plat review and a text amendment for the "Lino Lakes Town Center Design & Development Guide" on June 8, 2016 and the City Council approved the project on July 11, 2016. The proposed development is a 112 unit attached townhome project on 11.2 acres in the Town Center (Outlots B and C of the Village No. 3). The Final Plat and PUD Final Plan request is for approval of Phase I of this project. The project also includes a request for vacation of a drainage and utility easement, which will be considered at a public hearing at the August 22nd and September 12th Council meetings. Previous Council approvals include: • Resolution No. 16-67 approving PUD development stage plan and preliminary plat • Ordinance No. 06-16 ordinance text amendment to modify the residential development standards for Lino Lakes Town Center for Woods Edge established by Ordinance No. 04- 04 • Resolution No. 16-74 Approving Summary Publication of Ordinance No. 06-16 The current Land Use Application is for consideration of the following: • PUD Final Plan/Final Plat The Planning Commission reviewed the request at their August 10th meeting and recommended approval. ANALYSIS Revisions to PUD Development Stage Plan/ Preliminary Plat Resolution No. 16-67 approved the PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat with conditions required prior to approval of the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat. The conditions have been satisfied unless otherwise noted in this report. Land Use and Density The property is guided Mixed Use and zoned PUD as part of the Town Center master plan. The density is 10 units per acre (112 units on 11.2 acres). This is consistent with the Town Center standards, which require a minimum of 10 units per acre and a maximum of 24 units per acre. The final plat is for phase 1, which includes 65 lots and 13 outlots. The plat includes 60 homes as well as common lots maintained by the HOA and outlots for future development or permanent 2 open space. The remaining 52 homes will be a second phase of construction. The applicant will submit a final plat for that 2nd phase for City approval. PUD Final Plan/Final Plat Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code The PUD Final Plan/ Final Plat has been reviewed for compliance with the comprehensive plan, zoning and subdivision ordinance. The proposed development meets the performance standards of the subdivision and zoning ordinance. Blocks and Lots The final plat creates 65 lots and 13 outlots. Outlots A and B are the internal private streets that will be built to serve the project. Outlot C primarily stormwater ponds and wetland. The remaining outlots are for future townhome development. Easements Standard drainage and utility easements are being dedicated on individual lots and over stormwater management facilities. The drainage and utility easements are being dedicated over Outlot C for protection of the stormwater management ponds, wetlands and wetland buffers. There is also a drainage and utility easement over Lot 8, Block 2 for the stormwater management area. Street and Utilities The public streets that will provide access to the site were previously constructed and will provide the primary access to the site. New private streets will be constructed to provide internal access and they will be owned and maintained by the homeowners association (HOA). These private drives are currently shown as 26 -feet wide (back-to-back). This is consistent with City standards. Architecture The applicant is proposing a mix of 4-8 unit buildings. The buildings all provide access via new private streets and have front porches facing the existing public streets (Town Center Parkway, Village Drive and Woods Edge Boulevard). All of the townhomes will be part of a homeowners association (HOA) that will be responsible for maintenance of the common areas, including the private streets. The HOA will provide snow removal and landscape maintenance for the individual lots and the common areas. The City Council did approve a text amendment allowing vinyl siding on the homes. However, there was much discussion about the appearance of vinyl. In order to retain the higher quality 3 appearance of buildings in the Lino Lakes Town Center, the applicant has revised the plans to provide LP or Hardi-board trim on the units rather than vinyl. Only the horizontal trim will be vinyl to ensure seamless siding installation—all window and vertical trim on the buildings will be LP or Hardi-board. Park Dedication Park dedication shall be cash in lieu of land at $2,500 per unit ($150,000 total for the 60 units in Phase I). Outlot D will be conveyed to the City for public trail purposes. Additionally, the City is working with Anoka County Parks to development a playground south of Outlot C and Outlot D. Development Agreement A Development Agreement has been drafted by the City and shall be executed by the developer. Easement Vacation The applicant has submitted a land use application requesting the vacation of drainage and utility easements of Outlot B and Outlot D, The Village No. 3. The easement on Outlot B is over stormwater ponds and drainage areas. New drainage & utility easements will be rededicated on the final plat of Woods Edge. The easement on Outlot D is over an existing watermain. This watermain is being relocated under the private road (Outlot A, Woods Edge) and the easement no longer is needed. On August 22, 2016, the City Council held a public hearing and approved the 1St reading of Ordinance No. 08-16.
