The proposed residential development is a 60 lot single family conservation subdivision located north of Main Street and west of Lino Lakes Elementary School. It contains 3 parcels totaling approximately 95 gross acres. The development is called Nature’s Refuge. The Land Use Applications are: 2 • Rezone property from R-1, Single Family Residential to PUD, Planned Unit Development • PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat This staff report is based on review the following plan sets and documents: • 11/14/2017: Preliminary Plan Set prepared by Carlson McCain • 12/5/2017: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan prepared by Carlson McCain • 11/14/2017: Tree Inventory Report prepared by Carlson McCain • 12/5/2017: WCA Wetland Permit Application prepared by Kjolhaug Environmental Services Company • 8/16/2017: Geotechnical Exploration Report prepared by Haugo Geotechnical Services • 11/14/2017: Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Carlson McCain • 1/10/2018: Traffic Study prepared by Spack Consulting ANALYSIS History The concept of Nature’s Refuge was first presented to the City in 2006 as a conservation subdivision. The original site was 232 gross acres (approximately 100 acres upland and 132 acres wetlands/conservation easements) and 278 single family units were proposed. A mandatory Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was prepared because the 278 housing units exceeded the 250 housing unit Environmental Review Record (ERR) threshold. It was determined the project did not have the potential for significant environmental effects and the Council passed Resolution No. 07-06 making a Negative Declaration on the Need for an EIS. The original project did not materialize past the EAW process due to the decline in the housing market and no preliminary plat was ever submitted. The proposed project is smaller in scope and size with 60 single family units on 95 gross acres. Existing Site Conditions The 95 gross acre site is north of CSAH 14 (Main Street), west of CSAH 23 (Lake Street) and immediately west of Lino Lakes Elementary School. The southern and central parts of the site consist of annually-tilled cropland. The northeastern part of the site consists of a large wetland complex. The northwestern part of the site includes woodlands. Rare plants and animal species (Blanding’s Turtle) have been documented on site. Ground elevations on the site range from 912 feet above msl in the southern part of the site where an equipment building is located, down to 902 feet above msl in the open water parts of the large wetland in the northeastern part of the site. Anoka County Ditch 32 (ACD 32) flowsacross the site from east to west. The upland soils beneath the topsoil are poorly graded sand with silt, not hydric and are classified as hydrologic groups A and B/D that 3 signifies the soils are generally suitable for storm water infiltration. Groundwater was encountered at depths ranging from 4 to 11 feet which could affect infiltration. A large lot (2+ acre) rural subdivision exists along Wood Duck Trail immediately to the west of the proposed development. Four (4) single family homes exist along the north side of CSAH 14 (Main Street). Highland Meadows West, an R-1 residential subdivision, was platted in 2001 south of Main Street. Zoning Current and Proposed Zoning The property is currently zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and will be rezoned to PUD-Planned Unit Development to allow flexibility in right-of-way width and setbacks to support the conservation subdivision. Street A and Street C to the north are considered minor collector roads per the 2030 Transportation Plan. Standard ordinance requirements are 80 foot right-of-way with 40 foot setbacks. The intent of these requirements is to allow for any future road widening on major collector roads and provide greater separation along higher capacity roads. A 60 foot right-of-way with 30 foot setbacks is proposed to minimize quality wetland and rare plant species impacts. These standards are consistent with local roads and R-1 single family residential standards. The PUD development process implements the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan by providing flexibility from the strict standards of the zoning ordinance to allow for this type conservation subdivision development. Current Zoning R-1, Single Family Residential Current Land Use Agricultural Future Land Use per CP Low Density Residential (1.6 to 3.9 units per acre) Utility Staging Area 1A=2008-2015 Density The site is guided for low density residential development which requires a density of 1.6 to 3.9 units per acres. The proposed net density is 1.66 units per acre which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s guided land use and density. Wetlands and wetland buffers make up 58 acres (60%) of protected open space. The following chart implements Met Council’s formula for calculating net density. 4 Gross Area (acres) 95.05 Wetlands & Water Bodies (41.91) Public Parks & Open Space 0.00 Arterial ROW (1.07) Other (Utility Transmission Easement) TBD Other (Wetland Buffer Area Only) (15.87) Net Area (acres) 36.20 # of Units 60 Gross Density (units/acre) 0.63 Net Density (units/acre) 1.66 Surrounding Zoning and Land Use Direction Zoning Current Land Use Future Land Use North R-X, Rural Executive & R-1, Single Family Agricultural Low Density Sewered Residential South R-1, Single Family Single Family Residential Low Density Sewered Residential East R-1, Single Family & PSP, Public Semi-Public Single Family Residential & School Low Density Sewered Residential & Civic/Institutional West R, Rural Rural Residential Urban Reserve Zoning Requirements The site will be rezoned to PUD, Planned Unit Development to allow flexibility in right- of-way width and setback from minor collector road.

One lot appears to be 75 feet wide and 5 lots appear to be 78 feet wide. There are approximately 3 lots that are less than 135 feet deep (133.5, 134.1 and 134.95 feet) All lots shall be 80 feet wide (as measured along the 30 foot setback line) and 135 feet deep. Plans shall be revised. The 15 foot wide landscape buffer required along CSAH 14 (Main Street) shall be outside of the existing 100 foot wide private utility easement and contained in an outlot to be owned and maintained by the homeowner’s association (HOA). This is required along the entire southern border. 6 Building Type and Construction At the time of building permit, each individual single family dwelling unit will be reviewed for compliance with Section 1007.043(2)(a) General Building Provisions and the R-1, Single Family Residential requirements regarding floor area, garage and design and construction standards. Subdivision Ordinance Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code The preliminary plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for a conservation subdivision as discussed below. The PUD provides flexibility from the strict standards of the zoning ordinance. Blocks and Lots The preliminary plat has 60 single family lots and 4 outlots. The outlots are for future development, stormwater management facilities, wetland areas, open space and trail corridors. Ownership of each outlot (City, HOA, developer etc.) shall be determined by the time of final plat approval. Outlot D shall be extended to incorporate that portion of the Lot 1, Block 4 that is in the existing private utility easement. The easement currently abuts the building pad of the lot. This outlot shall also be wide enough to include the 15 foot landscape buffer. The preliminary plat indicates a ghost plat of potentially 8 more single family lots north of ACD 32. The ghost lots shall be designed as buildable lots exclusive of conservation easements etc. Currently, they would not be buildable because of the conservation easement encroachments. The plans shall be revised. Streets and Alleys CSAH 14 (Main Street) is a Principal Arterial road. Streets A and Street C (north of Street A) are identified as minor collector roads in the Transportation Plan and provide a north-south corridor. The 1999 Anoka County TH 242/CSAH 14 Access Management Plan identifies at-grade full access at Wood Duck Trail and CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) and restricted movements along the site’s corridor. The site plan is under review by Anoka County Highway Department. They have identified the need for additional right-of-way (70-75 feet) and right and left turn lanes on CSAH 14 (Main Street). These details shall be provided by the developer. The internal road system (Streets A thru E) has 60 foot wide right-of-ways and 32 foot wide (back to back) paved road surface. The intersection of Street A and CSAH 14 7 (Main Street) has an 80 foot wide right-of-way and 42 foot wide (back to back) paved road surface. Sidewalks are proposed along one side of both Street A and Street C. Staff would support a 28 foot wide (face to face) paved road surface on cul de sac Streets D & E if the applicant wanted to. Street C terminates in a temporary dead-end to the west, abutting 8024 Wood Duck Trail. This stub provides opportunity for future extension and residential development to Wood Duck Trail. This is consistent with the County Access Management Plan. Street C terminates in a temporary cul de sac just south of ACD 32. The preliminary plat indicates a ghost plat of potentially 8 more single family lots north of ACD 32. At a minimum, right-of-way shall be dedicated to the north property line. The road base shall be graded, the trail shall be paved and utilities shall be installed just north of ACD 32 to establish a future road connection for the property to the north. The ghost lots shall also be designed as buildable lots exclusive of conservation easements etc. Currently, they would not be buildable because of the conservation easement encroachments. Street B provides access to Lino Lakes Elementary School to the east. In 2017, the school began a building remodeling and parking lot reconstruction project. An opportunity to eliminate the school’s west driveway and connect with Nature’s Refuge was identified as a safety benefit. The City and Anoka County are working with the school district to complete this connection. A Traffic Study was completed in January 2018 by Spack Consulting in relation to the Nature’s Refuge development. The results of the study are explained further in this staff report. Easements Standard drainage and utility easements at least 10 feet wide are provided along all lot lines. Easements at least 20 feet wide are provided over utility pipes. Drainage and utility easements are required to be dedicated 10 feet above the high water level over stormwater drainage ponds and 10 feet outward from the delineated wetland boundary. This requirement is satisfied because easements will be dedicated over the entire outlots. Rear lot lines also have a minimum 10 foot wide easement. The applicant shall verify the infiltration basin located in Block 4 has a 10 foot easement above the high water level. Conservation easements are required over wetland and greenway corridor outlots. There does not appear to be sufficient wetland buffers/conservation easements on Lot 5, Block 3 and Lot 8, 9, 12, 13, Block 2. These lots either need to be eliminated or proper buffers/easements provided. 8 A 100 foot wide private utility easement in favor of Great River Energy exists along the southern boundary of the development. Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Per the Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Carlson McCain dated November 14, 2017, all of the site’s stormwater eventually flows to ACD 32 and to the west. Stormwater leaves the project boundary at two locations: via ACD 32 and a small portion of the property discharges to a ditch along Main Street. Post-development total impervious surface area is approximately 7.8 acres. Soils on the site are classified as Hydrologic Soil Group A/D. Groundwater elevations ranged from 898 feet to 904 feet. Stormwater will be managed on site by four (4) stormwater ponds, one (1) infiltration basin and Wetland C. The storm water ponds and trails are located near the wetlands and upland buffers. This strategic design is the basis of the City’s greenway system by creating a multi-functional greenway corridor intended to provide areas for stormwater management, upland buffers for wetland protection and natural resource conservation, and open space and trails for people. Pond 300 shall be owned and maintained by an HOA because it is not required for the management of public stormwater facilities. The site will be mass graded and developed in one (1) phase. Utilities Public water, sanitary and storm sewer utilities will be installed within the development. Sanitary Sewer A 21” trunk sanitary sewer main located along CSAH 14 (Main Street) serves the site. An 8” sanitary sewer pipe serves the site internally as far north as ACD 32. Future development north of ACD 32 will potentially require a lift station. Sanitary sewer will also be stubbed to the west to accommodate future development. Watermain A 12” trunk watermain located along CSAH 14 (Main Street) serves the site. An 8” watermain serves the site internally. Watermain will be stubbed to the west property boundary for future development. 9 Public Land Dedication The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication. Per the City’s Park, Greenway & Trail System Plan, a neighborhood park is not programmed for this area. Lino Lakes Elementary School is immediately adjacent to the development and provides a joint-use opportunity between the city and school for shared use of facilities. Nature’s Refuge 60 lots x $3,000 = $180,000 The Park, Greenway & Trail System Plan does identify the need for a future city trail running north-south through the development along greenway corridor. The proposed development shows a 10 feet wide paved trail along the greenway corridor consistent with the Trail System Plan. The civil plans shall be revised to show an 8.5 foot wide trail vs. 10 foot wide. The plans shall also be revised to omit the easterly future trail corridor crossing over ACD 32 to minimize the number of ditch crossings and avoid any potential ditch blockages. A 25’ wide future trail corridor shall be shown along Street C over ACD 32 then between Wetland 3A and 3B, south of Pond 3 and then northeast to the property line. This trail corridor shall be dedicated to the City on the final plat. Plans shall also be revised to include a 10 foot wide trail along CSAH 14 (Main Street) that will be constructed with this development. Credit will be given for trail and boardwalk construction. The Park Board reviewed the plans on February 5, 2018. The Board recommends collecting park fees to potentially fund enhancements at Lino Lakes Elementary School. The trail connection could occur behind Lot 12, Block 3 and the trail could be eliminated behind Lots 13-16, Block 3. A paved trail along Main Street is required. Tree Preservation The goal of tree preservation is to minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, biodiversity and forest resource and to replace removed trees in areas where tree cover is most critical. The Tree Inventory Report prepared by Carlson McCain dated November 14, 2017 identifies 1,151 trees on site. There are 953 trees proposed to be saved and 198 trees proposed for removal. The Tree Preservation Plan identifies the basic use area and environmentally sensitive areas and the need for 141 replacement trees for mitigation. It is not clear from the Landscape Plan how many and where the replacement trees are being planted. Boulevard trees cannot be counted towards tree preservation mitigation. The plans shall be revised. The Environmental Coordinator also reviewed the Tree Preservation Plan and made suggestions for removal of hazardous or unhealthy trees. 10 Landscaping Boulevard trees are required at the rate of one (1) tree per lot frontage for single family. There are 60 single family lots and 90 boulevard trees are proposed which is compliant with the ordinance. Open area landscaping standards required 1 large tree and 3 large shrubs per 2,000 sf. Per the Landscape Plan, there is 31,515 sf of open area requiring 16 overstory trees and 48 large shrubs. It is not clear from the plan how many overstory trees and shrubs are being planted in the open areas. Boulevard trees cannot be counted towards open area plantings. The plans shall be revised. The 15 foot wide landscape buffer required along CSAH 14 (Main Street) shall be outside of the existing 100 foot wide private utility easement and contained in an outlot to be owned and maintained by a homeowner’s association (HOA). This is required along the entire southern border. Landscape screening details compliant with Section 1007.043(17)(f) shall be required. Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) As previously noted, in 2006 a mandatory Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was prepared for the original Nature’s Refuge concept because the proposed 278 housing units exceeded the 250 housing unit threshold. The EAW thoroughly analyzed potential impacts to wetlands, rare plant and animal species, floodplain, water quality, noise, traffic and archeology. It was determined the project did not have the potential for significant environmental effects and the Council passed Resolution No. 07-06 making a Negative Declaration on the Need for an EIS. The scope and size of the current proposed Nature’s Refuge (60 housing units on 95 gross acres) is much smaller than the original 2006 proposal (278 housing units on 232 gross acres). An EAW is not required for the current proposed Nature’s Refuge because the 60 housing units do not exceed the 250 housing unit threshold. Traffic Study A Traffic Study was prepared by Spack Consulting on January 10, 2018. The development is forecasted to generate approximately 565 new trips per day with 45 new trips in the a.m. peak hour and 60 trips in the p.m. peak hour. Traffic impacts are analyzed in terms of volume and capacity. Volume quantifies the number of trips and capacity quantifies the number of vehicles the road can accommodate. 11 Traffic Volumes Roadway Location Existing AADT Volumes1 2030 Forecasted Volumes CSAH 14 (Main Street) West of 4th Avenue 8,400 21,900 CSAH 14 (Main Street) Near Site 8,400 20,500 CSAH 14 (Main Street) East of CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) 8,200 10,950 CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) South of CSAH 14 (Main St) 11,000 14,600 CSAH 14 (Main Street) North of CSAH 14 (Main St) 8,700 15,300 1Year 2015 AADT Volumes from MnDOT Traffic Mapping Application Existing traffic volumes near the site are 8,400 AADT (annual average daily traffic). Nature’s Refuge will generate approximately 565 new trips per day. These projected traffic volumes are included in the 2030 forecasts. The traffic study notes the City’s 2030 Transportation Plan identifies CSAH 14 as a future four-lane divided road by the year 2030. It should be noted there is no timeframe as to when these improvements will occur. Traffic Capacity A ratio of volume to capacity is used to analyze traffic congestion. Per the traffic study, a 2-lane road is considered congested when volumes reach 8,900 to 18,300 vehicles per day. The existing 2015 AADT of 8,400 trips plus the proposed Nature’s Refuge trips of 565 equals approximately 8,965 trips per day near the site. The traffic study notes the added roadway traffic due to the proposed Nature’s Refuge develop will have an impact on the surrounding roadways but that impact is minor. To mitigate impacts and improve safety, right and left turn lanes on CSAH 14 (Main Street) into the development will be required as part of the project. The City is also working with Lino Lake Elementary School to eliminate their westerly driveway and connect with Nature’s Refuge. The project is also under review by Anoka County Highway Department. They have identified the need for right and left turn lanes on CSAH 14 (Main Street). These details shall be provided by the developer. The traffic study shall be revised to include existing and proposed level of service analysis, projected trip generation of future development and intersection evaluation. Wetlands A WCA Notice of Decision for the wetland boundary delineation was approved by RCWD on June 16, 2016. Seven (7) wetlands were delineated on site totaling 41 acres. ACD 32 is not classified as a wetland. 12 A WCA Permit Application for wetland sequencing and mitigation was prepared by KJolhaug Environmental Services on December 5, 2017. Nature’s Refuge will involve 2.0 acres of permanent fill in 4 wetlands locations and 3.5 acres of temporary/no loss wetland impact associated with shall excavation and enhancement within one wetland basin. Permanent wetland impacts will be replaced using credits from the proposed Nature’s Refuge Wetland Bank. Some wetlands on-site support rare plant species that are protected/regulated by the MN DNR. None of these species are listed or protected under Federal Endangered Species Act. The project area is located within in the RCWD Lino Lakes Comprehensive Wetland Protection and Management Plan (CWPMP) area. The intent of the CWPMP is to preserve/enhance high-priority wetlands/wetland corridors. Six (6) of the 7 wetlands are in the Wetland Management Corridor (WMC). The exception is Wetland 1. Conservation easements covering 15.9 upland acres will protect the WMC. MnRAM assessessments were completed to evaluate the functions of the existing wetlands. These results were used to determine RCWD Wetland Degradation Types and Replacement Ratios. Three (3) wetlands are considered high quality, 2 are non-degraded, 1 marginally degraded and 1 severely degraded. The 2.0 acres of wetland impact will require 4.6 acres of replacement. The applicant is proposing a 38 acre wetland bank within Wetland 3 and adjacent upland buffer to provide 4.6 acres of replacement credit. Restoration and enhancements within Wetland 2 and Wetland 3 (wetland bank area) will boost vegetative diversity through release and stimulation of existing native seeds. Rare plant species will also thrive and expand as a result of the restoration. In summary, post-development MnRAM results show that development of the site will result in no net loss of wetland hydrology regime, wetland water quality or wildlife habitat functions within the CWPMP boundary. Per Sheet 14 of the Preliminary Grading & Erosion Control Plan prepared by Carlson McCain revision dated 11/14/17: Wetland Summary Total Delineated Wetlands 41.9 acres Wetland Fill 2.0 acres Wetland Enhancement 3.5 acres Wetland Replacement Required 4.6 acres WMC Buffer Area 15.9 acres 13 Conservation easements are required over all wetland and greenway corridor outlots and shall not encroach into lots. There do not appear to be sufficient buffers/conservation easements on Lot 5, Block 3 and Lots 8, 9, 12, 13, Block 2. These lots either need to be eliminated or proper buffers/easements provided. Floodplain The 2015 DFIRM indicates Zone A floodplain on site, mainly over the easterly wetland complex and along ACD 32. Per RCWD modeling data, the east floodplain base flood elevation is 904.5 and the west floodplain elevation is 904.2. Thirty-seven (37) cy of floodplain fill is required for minimal grading. Proposed floodplain mitigation is 29,533 cy, mostly within the Wetland 2 wetland enhancement area. The floodplain impacts on the east side of the development are related to the stormwater pond and trail construction. The floodplain impacts on the west side are related to the ACD 32 outlet structure improvements. Trail and storm pond design shall be revised wherever possible to avoid the need for any floodplain fill. A FEMA Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) shall be provided to the City prior to final plat. A Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) shall be provided to the City prior to issuance of building permits. Growth Management Policy Per the Comprehensive Plan (page 3-27), an annual average of 230 units per year over each 5 year phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any 1 year is allowed. At the end of the 5 year phasing period unallocated units will be averaged out over the next 5 years. Nature’s Refuge is proposed to be graded and developed in one (1) phase. Homeowner’s Association (HOA) A homeowner’s association shall be required to maintain landscape buffer areas, any common area/signage and possibly certain stormwater ponds (i.e. Pond 300). Details regarding ownership and maintenance will be finalized during the final plat process. Comprehensive Plan Resource Management System Plan The Resource Management System Plan provides the conservation design framework for the Comprehensive Plan and sustainable decisions regarding growth and development. It provides a unified system approach to natural resource management and natural resource based amenities. Goals of the Resource Management System Plan include: 14 • Parks, Trails, Open Space and Recreation o Goal #3: Develop, maintain, and connect the current and proposed trails in the City of Lino Lakes and Rice Creek Regional Park in a manner that preserves and sustains the natural environment. • Natural Resources and Amenities o Goal #1: Identify, protect and preserve the desirable natural areas and ecological and aquatic resources of the community. o Goal #2: Initiate and continue vigorous collaborations and programs to address, restore, and preserve the water quality of the region’s lakes, wetlands and other aquatic assets. • Land Use Policies o Goal #1: Ensure that well-planned, quality residential, commercial, industrial and institutional development to accommodate the city’s projected growth needs occurs in a manner that also conserves and enhances the city’s natural resources and amenities. The Resource Management System Plan identifies the following needs in the area: • Proposed designated bike route • Trails • Greenway system connectivity A 10’ wide trail is proposed along the wetland corridor and greenway system. Future trail extensions to the north between the storm water ponds and wetland corridor would connect and further enhance the greenway and park system. Nature’s Refuge addresses the goals of the Resource Management System by creating a residential conservation subdivision and multi-functional greenway corridor that integrates the stormwater management system, wetland management and open space areas and trails into one unified system. Land Use Plan Goal 1: Create a unified vision and future for the city, promote a well-planned community, prevent fragmented development, address the impacts of development and redevelopment on natural resources, aesthetics and view corridors, and provide balanced land use and connectivity that ensures the integration of both sides of the regional park. Policies established to obtain this goal include: 1. Provide clearly defined incentives to achieve significant and discernable public values not achievable under conventional development standards. These public values include, but are not limited to: 15 a. Preserving open space, providing park dedication and trails, and/or providing stormwater management areas, in excess of minimum standards to implement the Resource Management System Plan, as amended, and Rice Creek Watershed District’s Lino Lakes Resource Management Plan, as amended b. Restoring/enhancing ecological systems c. Managing stormwater using natural filtration and other ecologically based approaches d. Providing life-cycle and affordable housing e. Diversifying the tax base to lessen the tax burden on residential properties f. Providing infrastructure that benefits community beyond the project site that would otherwise not be financially feasible 2. Identify and define incentives offered to developers for achieving specific public values not achievable under conventional development standards. These incentives may include, but are not limited to: a. Reduced street and right-of-way widths b. Trunk utility and stormwater management fee credits c. Staging plan flexibility 3. Encourage master planning to accomplish the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan including, but not limited to, implementing the Resource Management System Plan, as amended, implementing Rice Creek Watershed District’s Lino Lakes Resource Management Plan, as amended, providing life-cycle housing, and diversifying the city’s tax base. As previously discussed, the site is guided for low density residential development which requires a density of 1.6 to 3.9 units per acres. The proposed net density is 1.66 units per acre which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s guided land use and density. Wetlands and wetland buffers make up 58 acres (60%) of protected open space. Nature’s Refuge meets the land use goals by creating a residential conservation subdivision that supports public values by integrating the stormwater conveyance systems, wetland restoration and open space areas and trails into a multi-functional greenway corridor. The development implements the Resource Management Plan, provides housing, promotes pedestrian connectivity and diversifies the city’s tax base. The applicant shall provide the area of the Great River Energy private utility that impacts the site and calculations for required wetland buffers and conservation easements. Housing Plan Goal 3: Ensure housing development is compatible with existing and adjacent land uses and provides accessibility to key community features and natural amenities. Policies include linking trails to parks, lakes and schools. Nature’s Refuge meets the goal of the housing plan. The development is compatible with the existing adjacent residential and institutional (elementary school) land uses. Trails 16 and sidewalk link the development to the natural resource, school and CSAH 14 (Main Street). Economic Development Goal 1: Expand and diversify the city’s tax base by encouraging mixed-use and nodal development to lessen the tax burden on residential properties. Policies include developing walkable neighborhoods with commercial nodes and amenities for residents. Nature’s Refuge meets the goals of the economic development plan. It is less than ½ mile west of the intersection of CSAH 14 (Main Street) and CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) which has been identified as a mixed use and commercial node in the city. The development provides an internal sidewalk and trail system to CSAH 14 (Main Street). A proposed regional trail corridor along CSAH 14 (Main Street) has been identified that will provide a link from the residential development to the commercial node. Transportation Plan Goal 1: Plan for and achieve required street improvements and connectivity throughout the City of Lino Lakes. Policies: 1. Develop a transportation plan that will identify and plan for needed public transportation options and street construction, upgrading, and related funding requirements. Goal 2: Ensure that streets and roads are as safe as possible. Goal 6: Promote alternative transportation such as bicycling, walking, transit and rail. Policies: 1. Work to physically connect neighborhoods with roads and pedestrian/bicycle links. 2. Encourage sidewalks and separated pathways along all arterial collector, and local streets in developing residential and commercial areas. Goal 7: Maintain and coordinate the transportation system with adjacent communities, Anoka County, Washington County, Metropolitan Council and Mn/DOT. Policies: 1. Use the functional classification system to define and plan existing and new roadways. 2. Develop and utilize access management guidelines in conjunction with Anoka County. 3. Continue to work with surrounding jurisdictions, state and federal agencies to ensure an integrated transportation system. 17 Nature’s Refuge meets the goals of the 2030 Transportation Plan. The Plan identifies the need for a north/south minor collector road through this development. Street A and Street C are the minor collector roads that will eventually extend north to Pine Street upon future development. Sidewalks and trails throughout the Nature’s Refuge provide alternative modes of transportation. The 1999 Anoka County TH 242/CSAH 14 Access Management Plan identifies at-grade full access at Wood Duck Trail and CSAH 23 and restricted movements in between. Nature’s Refuge is consistent with the access management plan. Sanitary Sewer Plan Goals of the sanitary sewer plan are to ensure well-planned, quality residential development that conserves and enhances the city’s natural resources and to provide an affordable and safe sanitary sewer system. Nature’s Refuge meets the goals of the sanitary sewer plans. The site is located in Sanitary Sewer District 2 (Sub-district 2B) and is ultimately served by MCES Interceptor 83-61, a 24-inch gravity sewer located in North Road which is adequately sized for the development in the district. The site is located in Utility Staging area 1A=2008-2015. Water Supply Plan A goal of the water supply plan is to provide residents affordable potable water that is safe and of high quality for daily consumption and fire demand. Nature’s Refuge meets the goals of the water supply plan. The site is served by a 12” watermain located along CSAH 14 (Main Street). The water system has capacity to serve this residential development. Planning Districts The site is located in Planning District 2 and is guided for low density residential development. A recommendation for District 2 is to implement the Main Street Access Management Study. Nature’s Refuge implements this plan. The site is located within the Marshan resource management unit (RMU) that identifies wetlands, the wetland preservation corridor and greenway system. Conservation easements will protect the natural resources. PUD Final Stage Plan/Final Plat A land use application for PUD Final Plan/Final Plat shall be required. 18 Findings of Fact The following are Findings of Fact as related to the land use decisions for the Rezoning and PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat.

Wetlands and wetland buffers make up 57 acres (60%) of protected open space. A park trail system is also proposed throughout the greenway corridor and along CSAH 14 (Main Street). 4. Operating and Maintenance Requirements for PUD Common Open Space/Facilities. A homeowners association shall be created and Declaration of Covenants and Conditions shall be recorded against the property at the time of final plat. Trail corridors will be deeded to the City. Drainage & utility easements and conservation easements will be dedicated to the City and/or RCWD. 5. Utilities. Public municipal utilities (water and sanitary) shall serve each individual single family lot. 6. Roadways, Private. There are no private roadways proposed in Nature’s Refuge. 7. Development Agreement. A Development Agreement detailing developer responsibilities and securities will be executed with the final plat. (d) The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City’s service capacity. The proposed Nature’s Refuge development can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City’s service capacity. The site is ultimately served by MCES Interceptor 83-61that is adequately sized for the development in the district. The existing water supply and water distribution system can provide adequate water volume and fire protection. Section 1007.024 PUD, Planned Unit Development 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, 20 yards, etc., by conditional use permit or a mixture of uses by rezoning to a PUD District, is intended to encourage: (a) A development pattern in harmony with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed Nature’s Refuge PUD conservation subdivision is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan in regards to resource management, land use, housing, transportation and utilities. The development upholds the City’s public values by creating a multi-functional open space greenway corridor integrated with the stormwater conveyance system, wetland management and trails. Nature’s Refuge is consistent with residential land use and density requirements. Safe transportation corridors and public utilities also serve the development. (b) 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 efficient use of land in such developments. Flexible site design with narrower right-of-way and reduced setbacks allows Nature’s Refuge to develop a residential conservation subdivision and construct of an extensive greenway corridor and storm water management system. (c) The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. Restoration and enhancements within Wetland 2 and Wetland 3 (wetland bank area) will boost vegetative diversity through release and stimulation of existing native seeds. Rare plant species will also thrive and expand as a result of the restoration. (d) 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. Nature’s Refuge creates a multi-functional greenway corridor by integrating the stormwater management system, wetland management and open space areas and trails into one unified system. The trails and sidewalks connect the residential development to the elementary school and Main Street. (e) An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering development costs and public investments. Reduced right-of-way widths and setbacks provide an efficient use of land and lowers development and public investments. (f) Promotion of a desirable and creative environment that might be prevented through the strict application of City zoning and subdivision regulations. 21 Strict application of an 80 foot right-of-way width and 40 foot setback would result in greater impacts to the wetlands and natural resources. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends continuation of the Planning & Zoning Board meeting for the rezoning and PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat to allow further review of the project.

Engineering • General The Nature’s Refuge development includes 95 acres north of CSAH 14 (Main Street), west of CSAH 23 (Lake Street) and east of Wood Duck Trail. The project proposes 60 single family houses and associated infrastructure. This property was originally part of a larger development of which an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was prepared. The evaluation concluded that the project did not have the potential for significant environmental effects. The EAW included a comprehensive analysis of the area which we incorporated as part of our review for Nature’s Refuge. The site has relatively flat topography, with elevations ranging from 904 to 914. Much of the site is below 905, which is the approximate elevation of the delineated wetlands on the site. The geotechnical conditions of the site indicate that there is one foot of topsoil Ms. Katie Larsen February 8, 2018 Page 2 S:\Community Development\Projects\Planning Cases\Nature's Refuge\Staff Reports\20180214 PZ\a5 Natures Refuge Preliminary Plat Review.docx overlaying glacier outwash including silty sand and poorly graded sand. Sandy lean clay was found 29 and 40 feet below grade. The groundwater elevation at the south end of the site is 904 and 898 at the north end of the site. 1. Street C shall be extended to the north side of Anoka County Ditch (ACD) 10-22-32. This includes the extension of sanitary sewer and watermain and culvert crossing reconstruction/extension. The road bed shall be graded and restored for future extension and paving. 2. Sheet 13 (Preliminary Site and Utility Plan) shows an Outlot C in the same locations as previously identified Outlot B. 3. Each plan sheet should include an accurate legend. • Grading, Erosion and Sediment Control The Nature’s Refuge development proposes the mass grading of 60 new single-family lots. It includes the extension of streets and utilities northerly from Main Street (CSAH 14). A project SWPPP was submitted and reviewed. Comments: 1. The applicant shall submit the earthwork volume data for excavation and embankment. 2. The applicant shall ensure that the proposed grading is not in conflict with the existing elevation south of Street B at the edge of the site. 3. Label pre-drainage and post-drainage directional flow arrows. 4. Show locations for stockpiles and BMP measures for stockpile management. 5. The applicant shall show a screening berm along Main Street (CSAH 14) and grades to accommodate a trail, see comments in the transportation section. • Stormwater Management The existing site is undeveloped and has Anoka County Ditch (ACD) 10-22-32 flowing through the site from east to west. The site also contains several wetlands. The Nature’s Refuge development proposes a storm sewer and ponding system. The system shall meet the City’s and Rice Creek Watershed District’s (RCWD) Stormwater Management requirements. The total proposed impervious surface is 7.8 acres. They are proposing that the impervious areas be managed through storm water ponds, infiltration basins and wetlands and discharging to ACD 10-22-32. Basin NWL HWL Pond 100 902.5 905.2 Pond 200 901.5 902.6 Pond 300 902.0 902.5 Pond 400 901.8 902.7 Ms. Katie Larsen February 8, 2018 Page 3 S:\Community Development\Projects\Planning Cases\Nature's Refuge\Staff Reports\20180214 PZ\a5 Natures Refuge Preliminary Plat Review.docx Basin 10 906.5 907.3 Wetland C 902.0 903.1 Per the submitted modeling the rate control for the site does not increase. The majority of the discharge leaving the site is through ACD 10-22-32. Comments: 1. RCWD is the ditch authority for ACD 10-22-32 and is responsible for the maintenance, function and capacity of the ditch. The City of Lino Lakes would be responsible for Pond 200 maintenance and function. The ditch, and its associated rights, extend east and shall not be routed through the pond. 2. Pond 300 is not considered a stormwater pond. It doesn’t meet the requirements for water quality treatment due to the depth. It was not included as part of the water quality calculations. This borrow area should be private. 3. The applicant needs to adjust the location of the outlet control structures such that City can access and maintain. Specific to Pond 200. 4. The applicant shall include the 10-day snowmelt event in modeling and update the proposed 10-day snowmelt HWLs on the plans. 5. The applicant shall confirm the amount of new impervious. There are different numbers in Section 1.2 and Section 2.5 of the Stormwater Management Plan, Section 2.2 of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), and the HydroCAD modeling. 6. See Table C3 in RCWD Rule C: Stormwater Management Plans for maximum curve numbers for existing conditions and adjust modeling accordingly. See section 4b for adjustments to curve numbers for proposed conditions. 7. The applicant shall confirm that the names of wetlands match between the existing conditions map and the existing conditions HydroCAD model. 8. The applicant shall provide the wetland susceptibility class, bounce, and inundation periods for impacted wetlands. See Table C4 and section 8 in RCWD Rule C. 9. The applicant shall refer to Table C5 in RCWD Rule C for soil infiltration rates. 10. The applicant shall update water quality standards to be consistent with the requirement to treat 1.1-inches of runoff for new or reconstructed impervious surface per section 6c of RCWD Rule C. See Table C1 in RCWD Rule C for the TP removal factor for stormwater ponds and apply as necessary. The applicant shall verify that the site is meeting water quality treatment standards. 11. The applicant shall verify HWLs for ponds. In some instances, they differ between the HydroCAD modeling and the plans. 12. The applicant shall clarify the intent of the low area on Outlot D. If intended to be a stormwater pond, please include it in modeling. 13. The applicant shall revise the ACD number it varies throughout the Stormwater Management Plan and SWPPP narratives. 14. The applicant shall verify the lot lines on Lot 12 Block 4, Lot 4 Block 1, and Lot 5 Block 1. It appears the structures may encroach on the drainage and utility easements. 15. The applicant shall include the bottom elevation of the infiltration basin on the grading plans. Ms. Katie Larsen February 8, 2018 Page 4 S:\Community Development\Projects\Planning Cases\Nature's Refuge\Staff Reports\20180214 PZ\a5 Natures Refuge Preliminary Plat Review.docx 16. The applicant shall verify the retention volume calculation for Pond 400 in Appendix C as there appears to be an error. 17. If needed, the opportunity may exist to maximize infiltration at the infiltration basin by constructing the basin to minimize the separation between the bottom of the basin and the water table. 18. The applicant shall verify that the HWL of the Infiltration Basin is 2.0 feet below the low entry elevations of surrounding buildings. 19. The applicant shall display and label emergency overflows with spot elevations and drainage arrows at all ponds and sags, specifically at the intersection of Street A and Street C and at the cul-de-sac of Street C. 20. The applicant shall confirm that there is a 10-ft. setback between the HWL of the infiltration basin and the drainage and utility easements. 21. The applicant shall verify that the top berm of stormwater ponds is 2 ft. above the HWL of the pond. 22. The applicant shall label the safety bench on the plans. It shall be at least 10-ft wide. The pond slope cannot be greater than a 3:1 slope. 23. The storm sewer system and grading in the rear yards of Lot 1-3 Block 1 should be evaluated to eliminate the middle structure and provide one EOF. The CB between Lot 1 & 2 should be moved north onto Lot 2 so that it is not on the property line. • Water Supply There is an existing 12 inch diameter trunk watermain located along CSAH 14 (Main Street). The Nature’s Refuge development is proposed to be served by extending 8-inch diameter DIP watermain from an existing 8-inch diameter DIP watermain stub where Street A meets Main Street (CSAH 14), and installing 1-inch diameter Type K copper services. The City’s Comprehensive Plan requires that a 16 inch diameter trunk main be extended north/south in this area. The proposed watermain extends west and north for future connection / looping. Comments: 1. The applicant shall loop the system along the west side of Lot 25 Block 4 from Street C to Main Street. 2. The applicant shall install 16 inch diameter trunk watermain from Main Street north through the development. Along west side of Lot 25 Block 4 and to the north extents of Street C. Trunk oversizing credits will apply. 3. Watermain shall be extended north along Street C under ACD 10-22-32. • Sanitary Sewer There is an existing 21 inch diameter trunk sanitary sewer located along CSAH 14 (Main Street). The Nature’s Refuge development is proposed to be served by extending 8-inch diameter PVC sanitary sewer throughout the development from an existing sanitary sewer manhole in Main Street (CSAH 14) just south of Outlot E, and installing 4-inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC services. The City’s Comprehensive Plan requires that the sanitary system Ms. Katie Larsen February 8, 2018 Page 5 S:\Community Development\Projects\Planning Cases\Nature's Refuge\Staff Reports\20180214 PZ\a5 Natures Refuge Preliminary Plat Review.docx serves the future lift station and forcemain of Sanitary Sewer Sub-District 2K, discharging to the northernmost proposed manhole in Street C. Comments: 1. The applicant shall increase the mainline sanitary sewer in Street C and D to 10 inch diameter at minimum grade 0.28%. Trunk oversizing credits will apply. 2. The existing sanitary sewer stub at Main St and Street A shall be properly abandoned and plugged at the Manhole. 3. The applicant shall add a note that sanitary services require the contractor to provide X, Y and Z GPS coordinates of wyes and service ends for future locating requirements. 4. The applicant shall add a note that sanitary sewer pipe be installed with a tracer wire. A tracer wire box shall be provided at the surface for the ends of the sanitary sewer service tracer wire to provide access to wire ends for future locating requirements. 5. Sanitary Sewer shall be extended north along Street C under ACD 10-22-32. 6. Sanitary Sewer shall be extended west along Street C from the most westerly manhole to the same extent as the watermain. • Transportation The Nature’s Refuge subdivision is proposed on the north side of Main Street (CSAH 14) between Lake Drive (CSAH 23) and 4th Avenue. Access will be from a new street connection (Street A) to Main Street (CSAH 14). The development will be set for future extensions to the west, north, and to Lino Lakes Elementary. To improve access control on Main Street, the City is working with School to remove their west access and connect to Nature’s Refuge. A Traffic Study evaluating the Nature’s Refuge development was submitted by Spack Consulting. The development includes 60 single family homes that are anticipated to generate approximately 565 new trips per day, 45 new trips in the a.m. peak hour and 60 trips in the p.m. peak hour. Comments: 1. The Study needs to provide an analysis of the existing LOS with and without the proposed development as outlined in the Section 1001.013(2)(c). 2. Projected traffic from any future phases of development (extension of Street B, Street C, and Lino Lakes Elementary) that would use Street A to access Main Street (CSAH 14) should be included in the analysis. 3. It is anticipated that Street A would require designated turn lanes at Main Street. The Study should evaluate the intersection of the new Site Access Street (Street A) and Main Street (CSAH 14) for both safety and operations. It is anticipated that Anoka County Highway Department will require right and left turn lanes on CSAH 14 (Main Street). The turn lane construction shall be add throughout the preliminary plat documents. 4. Upgrading Main Street (CSAH 14) to a 4-lane roadway has been identified by both Anoka County and the City for some time in the future but has not been programed. Ms. Katie Larsen February 8, 2018 Page 6 S:\Community Development\Projects\Planning Cases\Nature's Refuge\Staff Reports\20180214 PZ\a5 Natures Refuge Preliminary Plat Review.docx Therefore, should the analysis show that existing conditions do not require improvements at Street A and Main Street (CSAH 14), documentation should be provided of when in the future with the existing lane configurations the improvements would be needed. 5. Assuming that the intersection of Main Street (CSAH 14) and Lake Drive (CSAH 23) will be addressed in the future, no further analysis over what is included in the current Traffic Study would be required. 6. Street A and Street C shall be 32 feet wide from face of curb to face of curb. The plans currently show back of curb. 7. The cul-du-sac widths can be reduced to 28 feet wide from face of curb to face of curb. 8. The ACD 10-22-32 crossing shall be wide enough to accommodate the road, a 5 foot buffer and an 8.5 foot wide trail with 4:1 side slope tapers. 9. The future trail extension along 10-22-32 should be relocated to the same crossing as Street C. Thus there would only be one ditch crossing. 10. There is a future trail planned along the north side of Main Street. The plans shall include the grading for this trail. This will likely also require hydrant relocation. 11. The applicant shall remove the trees identified in the Landscaping Plan from the sight line triangle of Street A and Main Street (CSAH) 14. 12. A bituminous trail is recommended through this site. As noted in the wetland section of this report the proposed location, along Lots 1-6 Block 3, is within the 25 foot buffer and should be relocated. 13. The proposed sidewalks were reviewed. Pedestrian curb ramps will be required, and reviewed with the final construction plans. 14. Street C temporary cul du sac should have continual curb and gutter and temporary paved eyebrows. The storm sewer will need to be adjusted. • Wetlands and Mitigation Plan The Nature’s Refuge development site includes 7 wetlands on 41.55 acres as outlined in the WCA Notice of Decision approved by RCWD. The plan proposes to fill 2 acres of wetlands, some of which are denoted as “high priority wetlands” in the city’s Comprehensive Plan. A wetland sequencing application was submitted by KJolhaug Environmental Services to RCWD on January 8, 2018 and is currently incomplete. Approval of a complete sequencing application and submittal and approval of a wetland replacement plan will be required prior to issuance of a grading permit. Wetlands on the project are located within the Wetland Management Corridor and will require mitigation as noted in Rice Creek Watershed District’s Rule F (Wetland Alteration), Section 6(b). 1. An average 50-foot buffer (25-foot minimum) will be required around all wetland areas following construction. It does not appear that the proposed buffers meet the minimum buffer requirement in all locations. 2. A 10-foot bituminous trail is proposed within the upland buffer adjacent to the wetland in Outlot B. This trail must maintain 25-feet from the edge of the wetland. 3. Two deep (30+ foot deep) ponds (Pond 200 and Pond 300) are proposed adjacent to wetlands within the project. The adjacent wetlands are denoted as “high priority Ms. Katie Larsen February 8, 2018 Page 7 S:\Community Development\Projects\Planning Cases\Nature's Refuge\Staff Reports\20180214 PZ\a5 Natures Refuge Preliminary Plat Review.docx wetlands” in the city’s Comprehensive Plan and are noted as having exceptional vegetative diversity. The applicant shall take steps to ensure that the ponds will not drain the adjacent wetland areas. In the WCA Wetland Replacement Plan, the developer shall provide a plan to protect adjacent wetlands, the plan shall also include a mitigation plan if the wetlands are impacted post construction. 4. A review of the DNR’s Natural Heritage Information System (NHIS) Database revealed that rare features have been recorded in or near the wetlands on the property. In 2002, toothcup (Rotala ramosior), a state threatened species, was located within one wetland that is proposed to be filled. Autumn fimbry (Fimbristylis autumnalis) and Blanding’s turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) have also been recorded near the project site. The developer will need to coordinate with the DNR to obtain a permit for the take (destroy, dig up, dispose of, possess, or transport) of threatened or endangered species. 5. The ghost plat shown in Outlot B on the north end of the project (Sheet 10) appears to propose future wetland impacts. These impacts should be taken into account during the sequencing efforts discussed by the Wetland Conservation Act Technical Evaluation Panel. Road alignments should be considered that would minimize future wetland impacts. • Floodplain The floodplain within the Nature’s Refuge development is a Zone A. The 2015 DFIRM base flood elevation (BFE) from RCWD modeling identifies the BEF elevations of 904.5 (easterly floodplain) and 904.2 (westerly floodplain). The applicant is proposing to fill 37 cubic yards of floodplain and mitigate onsite. There are 29,533 cubic yards of floodplain mitigation proposed on site. 1. Floodplain impacts are proposed on site due to stormwater ponding and structures, and Lots 4-5 Block 3. A LOMR will be required. The applicant shall provide a copy of the CLOMR application to the City. The LOMR is to be in place prior to final plat. • Drainage and Utility Easements The municipal infrastructure proposed with the Nature’s Refuge Preliminary Plat is generally within public right of way, easements and outlot. 1. Anoka County requires 75 foot right of way be dedicated along Main Street (CSAH 14). 2. The right of way shown in the Ghost Plat shall be dedicated with the Plat. 3. Street A, at Main Street (CSAH 14), will require turn lanes and thus additional right of way. 4. Lot 25 Block 1 shall have a 20 foot drainage and utility easement for watermain looped connection. 5. Lot 5 Block 1 shall be chamfered at the northeast corner to accommodate future access to Pond 100. 6. Bituminous trails shall be within 25 foot easements if not within right of way or outlot.

Design consideration must protect the rare features of this site to the greatest extent possible, and least invasive design possible; including turtle barrier elimination (dropped curbing, and preservation of continuity in turtle travel and breeding areas). 2. Recommend that design should capture all yard surface water runoff especially to the backs of lots that can pollute the surrounding wetlands. Bio swales is an example of a BMP that can mitigate this concern. 3. Recommendation is to move the north-half trail location to a non-impacting alignment off of the rare plant landscape/wetland. The Environmental Board recommended to relocate the northern part of the trail that is next to the big wetland and provide an adequate buffer that would protect the large wetland rare plant areas. Fill should not be placed in the rare species areas of the large wetland. Environmental  Page 2 4. Manage all wetland restoration in all wetland restoration areas in a manner similar to the Wollan’s Park Management and Restoration Plan. That is, restoration must look at thatch removal with little to no native soil removal. No additional native plant seed mixes should be used. 5. Look closer at the proposed borrow pits and make sure surrounding wells will not be contaminated with surface water runoff, dry up adjacent residential shallow wells, or dry up, change the hydrology of surrounding wetlands. Staff requests documentation that supports no adverse effects of the proposed borrow pits and the water levels in surrounding wetlands and adjacent residential wells. 6. Flood plain elevations in all preserved wetland areas must not change. 7. Soils for house pads and roads should be imported to the area instead of using borrow pits. Imported soils must be approved by the city. 8. An educational plan must be written, given to the homeowners before closing on the property, and placed in the city address folders to follow with the property. The plan must be approved by the city. The plan should educate and inform the resident of the uniqueness of natural resources on the site, alert them to the presence of conservation easements and rules associated with the easements, and offer advice on how they can help to protect the resources by minimizing contaminated runoff from their lot. Alternative lawn options should also be given to property owners. If there is a Homeowner’s Association, the educational materials should become part of their documents. 9. Ash Trees on the site, and Siberian Elm must be removed from the site regardless of the tree locations. No compensation will be required for these trees. All replacement trees must not be replaced in areas of significant wetlands that harbor rare plant features. Aspen, cottonwood and Willow trees are detrimental to the management of unique wetland vegetation and should be removed. No compensation should be required for the removal of the wetland fringe trees. 10. The “road issue” (extending the road to the north) must be resolved before conservation easements are placed over any WMC areas to the North. 11. The City should be named as a holder or co-holder of the conservation easement with the watershed district. 12. Landscaping: Enough money will have to be escrowed at a rate of 1 tree per household frontage for boulevard trees... All trees must be 2” to 2.5” in diameter. A species list was submitted. The City will determine the species and location of each boulevard tree and plant them. Most likely, the Lindens and Sugar Maple  Page 3 will be changed to something else like Bur Oak, White Oak, and Red Oak, a species of disease resistant Elm, Hackberry, or Ginkgo. 13. There are 70 landscape overstory trees required for the development project. These should not be planted in wetland restoration or preservation areas. 14. There are 141 Tree Preservation Trees required. These trees should not be planted in wetland restoration or wetland preservation areas. 15. American Lindens and Sugar Maples in the Landscape Legend should be changed to Bur Oak, White Oak, and Red Oak, a species of disease resistant Elm, Hackberry, or Ginkgo. 16. Indigenous shrubs should be planted. Sunrise Forsythia and Sugarplum Lilac should be changed to winterberry and gray dogwood. Both of these species are found, or were found in wetland areas of Nature’s Refuge prior to land clearing. No willows should be planted in wetland restoration, conservation easement, or pond areas. No trees should be planted in rare plant restoration areas such as along the eastern edge or buffer area of the large wetland. Again, the best thing for this area is to eliminate the trail and move it to another area if possible. If the trail that is presently proposed for this area is not moved, than any back yard trees must be planted far enough away from the trail so as to not encroach into the trail area as they grow, or add another species that would be more upright and not spreading. 17. A revised detailed landscape plan must be submitted that shows a planting plan for each shrub species and changes to tree species. The Plan must be approved by the City. Enough money will have to be escrowed at a rate of 1 tree per household frontage for boulevard trees... All trees must be 2” to 2.5” in diameter. A species list was submitted. The City will determine the species and location of each boulevard tree and plant them. Most likely, the Lindens and Sugar Maple will be changed to something else like Bur Oak, White Oak, and Red Oak, a species of disease resistant Elm, Hackberry, or Ginkgo. 18. The plan listed wetland seed mix 33-261 for wetland fringe areas (that are not in a rare plant areas) is ok. However; areas where there are listed or potential rare plant areas, the wetland seed bank will be enough to restore those areas. The plan should be more specific on the location of those different areas and tailor a restoration plan that is similar to Wollan’s Park. The plan calls out a MN DOT 25-131mix for construction disturbed areas, areas not intended to be sodded, or retention basin. Staff recommends a native seed mix approved by the city for these areas. 19. Areas like wetlands in Outlot A, and on the east side bordering the large wetland to the north and east should not be excessively excavated (no more  Page 4 than an inch or two) and managed for the seed bank available and supplied by nature. Restoration of wetlands with rare plant should be limited to Reed Canary Thatch removal. The areas of concern for rare plants include all Isanti Wet and Solderville soils in adjacent wetlands and proposed buffer areas. A Wollan’s Park restoration strategy, (management plan) should be required in these areas. 20. Dewatering practices should be evaluated in more detail for no impact to adjacent wetlands. 21. Although road widths were discussed, it was not known at the time that this project would be PUD. The Environmental Board did discuss the desire to narrow road widths where possible. 22. The trail should be moved off of rare species areas. No disturbance or reseeding of the Isanti Wet or Solderville (a generally saturated soil) soils in the proposed trail area should occur. The areas in the Isanti Wet and Solderville soil areas of the proposed trail area should be managed for the indigenous soils in the seed bank. Other areas disturbed along the trail corridors should have no loss of indigenous soils and if the soils are hydric, management techniques should allow the seed bank to come in. No seeding of other seed types should be employed in the area of the large wetland. 23. Staff and Environmental Board had the following comments about the submitted SWPPP: • Must describe the phasing and sequencing of the stated phasing of grading. • Under the “Spills and Contamination” section, must have provision to have all fueling stations in a containment structure. • Under “Inspections and Repair”, add all inspection and repair reports must be emailed to City Hall Environmental and Engineering by the next day. • An inspector certifications must be received and accepted at City Hall prior to Grading. • In the “Basement and Footing Excavation” section, add the following: “An initial City Inspection must take place for perimeter control before a building permit is received. Perimeter control must be in place around the entire perimeter of each house project regardless of slope. Alternative perimeter control to silt fence is only allowed when the ground is frozen. In addition, inspections must take place on each lot in the same manner as project inspection and repair, i.e. Inspector certification and timing issue requirements must be met. All Storm Drains within 200 feet must be protected including back-drain parts of all storm drains. Must be the basket type of protection. No fabric is allowed to be protruding from the edges of storm grates.” The following required parts of a SWPPP are missing and must be provided:  Page 5 • Maps showing the locations of all surface waters, including wetlands, stormwater ponds or basins within one mile of the site • A determination whether surface waters within 1one mile of the site are special or impaired for one of the construction-related parameters and additional or enhanced BMPs that will be utilized to address the special or impaired waters. • Estimated quantities of all erosion prevention and sediment control BMP’s to be used for the life of the project. • The following factors must be accounted for in design of BMP’s to use at the site; o The amount, frequency, intensity and duration of precipitation o Storm water runoff and run-on and expected flow from impervious surfaces o Slope lengths and steepness, site location and drainage features o Flow rates and volume of channelized flow o Soils • Timing of installation for all erosion prevention and sediment control BMP’s to be installed at the site along with the procedures to establish additional BMPs as necessary. • Methods to minimize soil compaction and preserve top soil at the site. • Documentation why certain design requirements or SWPPP components are not feasible and the methods to be substituted as allowable by permit. • Procedures for terminating permit coverage. of3890 Pheasant Ridge Drive NE,Suite 100Blaine, MN 55449Phone: (763) 489-7900Fax: (763) 489-7959www.carlsonmccain.comf:\jobs\5401 - 5420\5412 - natures refuge\cad\engineering\preliminary\5412_cover.dwgSave Date:12/04/17environmentalengineeringsurveying···181.Revisions:Print Name:Signature:Date:License #:Drawn:Designed:Date:I hereby certify that this plan, specificationor report was prepared by me or under mydirect supervision and that I am a dulyLicensed Professional Engineer underthe laws of the State of Minnesota11/14/1711/14/17Brian J.

Winter Property Concept Land Use Plan prepared by Westwood Lino Lakes 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update Planning & Zoning Board re: Mixed Use 1 February 14, 2018 Date: February 6, 2018 for February 14, 2018 Meeting To: Lino Lakes Planning & Zoning Board From: Kendra Lindahl, AICP Anne Hurlburt, Planner Landform Professional Services Subject: Comprehensive Plan Update Land Use Plan, Mixed Use Classification Board members have requested a discussion about the Mixed Use land use classification and how it is used in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff and consultants are in the final stages of preparing a complete plan document. We expect to deliver the draft plan to the Planning & Zoning Board on approximately March 2nd for discussion at the March 14th board meeting. The board should give any direction for changes to the draft, which will be shared with the public on the city’s website and at the open house scheduled for April 3rd. Mixed Use Description The term “mixed use” is used in a variety of ways in local plans and ordinances. Mixed use may mean that land uses not typically allowed together in single-use districts (such as residential and commercial) are permitted, or possibly required, in a single structure, on a single lot, or within a single development. In Lino Lakes’ plan, mixed use is used for flexibility. Development may be mixed vertically, consisting of main floor commercial space with office or housing units located above, or development may be mixed horizontally on a particular site. Each area is unique, and will be planned to be compatible with the surrounding land uses. Flexibility to respond to the needs of a particular location will mean that one site may be developed entirely for a single use, if market factors indicate and the city’s goals for the area are met. The land use plan says that mixed use areas shall be designed to incorporate more compact development and promote pedestrian activity, and to provide a “sense of place” within Lino Lakes by creating active and attractive developments with opportunities for interaction through successful design and site layout. Mixed use areas address the city’s goals for affordable and lifecycle housing. They are the only areas in the city allowing residential densities of eight units per acre or higher. Mixing residential and commercial uses in these areas will increase convenient access to retail opportunities, and especially serve the needs of senior and lower income residents who may reside in these areas. Mixed Use Sites The Land Use Plan identifies 651 net acres for mixed use development, which accounts for 4.9 percent of the city’s total land area (net of wetlands and water bodies). Table 3-4 of the draft plan lists each area along Lino Lakes 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update Planning & Zoning Board re: Mixed Use 2 February 14, 2018 with the expected split between residential and commercial uses, and information about the city’s goals for each site. Two new mixed use areas are proposed on the new future land use maps. The first, the Winter Property, was discussed by the board at its December 2017 meeting, and subsequently by the City Council on several occasions. At their February 5th meeting, the City Council directed staff to modify the criteria for development of the Winter property. The new recommendation from the Council is shown on Table 3-4 in the draft land use chapter attachment. The other new location is near 80th Street West of I-35E and south of Harwood Creek, in the northeastern part of the city, outside of the 2040 urban service area. Attachments: 1. Excerpt, Draft Land Use Chapter 2. Draft 2040 Full-Build Land Use Plan Map DRAFT 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update – Chapter 3 Land Use 12 February 6, 2018 - Project CLL17010 Mixed Use The Land Use Plan identifies 651 net acres for mixed use development, which accounts for 4.9 percent of the city’s total land area (net of wetlands and water bodies). This use is intended to allow for a mix of residential, retail, and office uses. Development may be mixed vertically, consisting of main floor commercial space with office or housing units located above, or development may be mixed horizontally on a particular site. Each mixed use area is unique, and will be planned to be compatible with the surrounding land uses. Flexibility to respond to the needs of a particular location will mean that one site may be developed entirely for a single use, if market factors indicate and the city’s goals for the area are met. Mixed use areas shall be designed to incorporate more compact development and promote pedestrian activity. These projects will support pedestrian activity through pedestrian friendly design, and by providing connections to existing and future pedestrian and transit facilities. These future mixed use areas have the opportunity to become the city’s gathering space and the design may incorporate public spaces and amenities. Architecture and landscaping are important aspects of mixed use developments, as this type of development is typically oriented to accommodate both pedestrians and vehicles. By providing walkable mixed use areas, stress on the transportation system is reduced. Mixed use areas can also provide a “sense of place” within Lino Lakes by creating active and attractive developments with opportunities for interaction through successful design and site layout. Mixed use areas address the city’s goals for affordable and lifecycle housing, because the majority of mixed use sites incorporate residential areas at densities of 8 units or more. Mixing residential and commercial uses in these areas will increase convenient access to retail opportunities, and especially serve the needs of senior and lower income residents who may reside in these areas. The most successful mixed use area developed in Lino Lakes is the Legacy at Woods Edge development, located at the southeast quadrant of I-35W and Lake Drive. The area includes the city hall complex, YMCA, commercial development and rental and owner-occupied housing serving seniors and other age groups, in a pedestrian-friendly environment with access to major open spaces. While the residential portion of this development is largely complete, some commercial sites remain to be developed and will be guided by the master plan for the area. While the role of this area is unique, it serves as an example of the quality and vibrancy that is encouraged for the mixed use development areas. The plan identifies twelve mixed use sites. Many of these vibrant developments along major roadways or key intersections and will serve as gateways into the city. Design and landscape standards will be developed for these areas to ensure that development is attractive and promotes a positive community image. This addresses the community’s goal to promote a unified community identity and its related strategy to create and strengthen the appearance of the city’s gateways. The mix of commercial and residential uses will vary for each site, as will the residential density, as shown below in Table 3-4. It is important to note that the information provided in the table is preliminary, and is intended to serve as a guide for future decision-making. As plans for specific mixed use areas are refined, suggested density, total units, and the residential/commercial split may be revised. To best serve the community’s changing needs and market conditions, flexibility in these areas is essential. DRAFT 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update – Chapter 3 Land Use 13 February 6, 2018 - Project CLL17010 Table 3-4: Mixed Use Site Characteristics and Planning Guidance Planning District Mixed Use Area Approximate Land Area (Acres) Utility Staging Plan Approximate Residential/ Commercial Split Density Range (units/acre) Discussion 1 Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) & County Road J (Ash Street) 36 1A 50/50 8 to 15 The “Hodgson Road & CR J Master Planning Study” was approved by the City Council in 2007. The plan establishes a general land use design, but does not mandate the exact site layout or specific uses of individual parcels. The design of individual development projects must accommodate the infrastructure needs for the larger study area. Future amendments of the Plan may be appropriate to address evolving community needs, market forces, and regulatory requirements. Chapter 5, Economic Development, identifies this as an opportunity area and further describes the master plan. 2 Robinson Farm/ Main Street & 2nd Avenue 29 1A / 2A 75/25 8 to 15 This area is envisioned as a development node at a future, full-access intersection on Main Street. This area offers the opportunity for large scale planning that can include environmental resource management that would not be possible with piecemeal development. The site may include a wide variety of housing and commercial uses. Higher intensity uses would be created closer to the intersection and the higher traffic roads. In order to serve this area with sanitary sewer, a new trunk line is needed to connect to the regional interceptor on the west side of Lino Lakes in or near North Road. 2 Lake Drive/Main Street 23 1A 75/25 8 to 15 This area includes the northwest and southeast corners of the intersection of two arterial roads. This intersection should be the focus of a special planning study to establish a guiding plan for development and redevelopment. The goal of the study would be a plan to facilitate economically viable redevelopment, needed transportation improvements, and sound access management. 2 Lake Drive and Vicky Lane 5 1A 75/25 8 to 15 This area comprises one vacant parcel of approximately five acres. Access to Lake Drive is a concern. The site could serve as a good site for multi-family residences. Existing residences all around this site will be an important planning consideration. 2 Lake Drive/77th Avenue 3 1A 75/25 8 to 15 This site has been fully developed for senior housing. 2 Lino Lakes Town Center/ Legacy at Woods Edge 66 1A 50/50 10 to 24 The SE quadrant of I-35W/Lake Drive interchange I-35W/Lake Drive interchange represents the mixed-use section of the Lino Lakes Town Center. This area is intended to integrate a mixture of commercial, medium and high density residential, and public land uses in an attractive and cohesive design. City hall, a YMCA, and a community green emphasize the community focus. A complete “Design and Development Guide” has been adopted to support the community’s vision and establish standards for all development in the Legacy area. Chapter 5, Economic Development, identifies this as an opportunity area and further describes the plan. 2 Waldoch Farms 37 2B 80/20 8 to 15 This site on the east side of Lake Drive is suitable for continued commercial use, with the possibility of higher density residential uses in the southern and eastern parts of the site. Access on Lake Drive will be limited to a single location.

The future development of the southeast corner as the city’s recreation complex will increase demand for some neighborhood or community scale commercial uses near the large park. There are some limitations on the site. Proper access management at this intersection of two county roads calls for careful consideration of driveway locations. In addition, there is the expectation that there will be many pedestrians and bicyclists in the area of the athletic complex, many of them children. Wetlands, a county ditch, and floodplain are additional development considerations. 3 Watermark Site (formerly known as Hardwood Creek), One Quarter Mile North of Main Street, between I-35E and CSAH 21 (20th Avenue) 372 1A / 1B 80/20 3 to 4.5 A mix of both commercial and residential uses are allowed on this site, with no less than 2/3 of the residential areas reserved for low density residential development. Recently the site has been approved for a master planned residential community with a mix of residential types including 706 single family lots and 165 townhome units totaling 871 housing units. The site will incorporate significant open space and water features. This site is included in the I-35E Corridor Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) environmental analysis. Development must comply with the mitigation plan that forms a part of the AUAR, which includes the Conservation Development Framework as the fundamental precept for all development within the AUAR area. 4 Centerville Road/County Road J (Ash Street) 24 1A 60/40 8 to 15 This site is located at the intersection of two county roads, near an I-35E interchange. The site is expected to develop as an extension of the mixed use multi-family and commercial development south of the municipal boundary, in the City of North Oaks. Commercial development in White Bear Township fronts County Road J (Ash Street) all the way to the freeway. Sanitary sewer service will be through a joint powers agreement with White Bear Township. Municipal water will be provided from White Bear Township into the future until development progresses far enough north to allow connection to the Lino Lakes system. Any development design must include careful consideration to water quality and potential impacts on Wilkinson Lake, a small Natural Environment Lake. DRAFT 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update – Chapter 3 Land Use 15 February 6, 2018 - Project CLL17010 Planning District Mixed Use Area Approximate Land Area (Acres) Utility Staging Plan Approximate Residential/ Commercial Split Density Range (units/acre) Discussion 5 Winter Property 139 1A 50/50 4 to 5.9 This site is located east of I-35E in an area primarily planned for business development. The mixed use classification allows flexibility to allow some residential use, particularly in the northern portion of the site where development is limited by an extensive wetland complex occupying more than a third of the property. The wetlands, which will be incorporated into the city’s greenway system, will be an amenity for new housing as well as a good transition to planned industrial uses to the north. The southwestern part of the site, which has greater visibility and fewer development constraints, may be developed for uses compatible with the business campus area to the south. A master plan for the site should demonstrate compatibility among uses and an integrated pedestrian network that encourages residents and workers to access the greenway and creates opportunities to walk to work and to businesses offering goods and services in the surrounding areas. This site is included in the I-35E Corridor Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) environmental analysis. Development must comply with the mitigation plan that forms a part of the AUAR, which includes the Conservation Development Framework as the fundamental precept for all development within the AUAR area. 5 80th Street West of I 35-E and south of Hardwood Creek 90 3 50/50 8 to 15 This area in the northeastern portion of the city is outside of the 2040 urban area. It is intended to allow uses compatible with the future development of the area to the north and east as a Business Campus district, which is tied to future freeway interchanges. This site is included in the I-35E Corridor Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) environmental analysis.
