NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The City Council of The City of Lino Lakes
hereby makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
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, 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 Saddle Club Fourth Addition 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 and wetland management. Saddle Club Fourth Addition 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
1
developments.
Flexible site design with narrower right-of-way widths and reduced setbacks allows Saddle Club
Fourth Addition to develop a residential conservation subdivision and construct a multi-
functional greenway corridor and storm water management system. Some lots may be custom
graded for custom built homes. This will also preserve desirable natural resources and trees.
c. The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing
vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil
erosion.
Wetland buffers and conservation easements will protect the wetland vegetation areas. The seed
bank existing in the wetland soils supports rare plant species. Tops soils that are removed from
the wetland buffer areas shall be returned to the same area to the greatest extent as possible.
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.
Saddle Club Fourth Addition connects the Foxborough and Saddle Club conservation
subdivisions and provides a contiguous multi functional greenway corridor by integrating the
stormwater management system, wetland management and open space areas and trails into one
unified system.
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.
Strict application of a 60 foot right-of-way width and 30 foot setback would result in greater
impacts to the wetlands and natural resources.
Preliminary Plat
Per Section 1001.013, Premature Subdivision:
(1) General. Any concept plan, preliminary plat or final plat deemed premature pursuant to the
following criteria shall be denied by the City Council.
(2) Conditions for establishing a premature subdivision. A subdivision may be deemed
premature should any of the following conditions not be met.

1. Land use plan;
2. Transportation plan;
3. Utility (sewer and water) plans;
2
4. Local water management plan;
5. Capital improvement plan; and
6. Growth management policies, including MUSA allocation criteria.
Saddle Club Fourth Addition is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan
in regards to resource management, land use, housing, transportation and utilities. The
development is also consistent with the local water management plan, capital improvement plans
and growth management policies.
(b) Consistency with infill policies. A proposed urban subdivision shall meet the city's infill
policies.
Saddle Club Fourth Addition is consistent with infill policies. The development is within the
current Utility Staging Area 1 A (2008-2015). The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility
system is consistent with the normal costs projected by the water and sanitary system plans. No
future utility costs are proposed.
(c) Roads or highways to serve the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall meet the
requirements for level of service (LOS), as defined by the Highway Capacity Manual.
Saddle Club Fourth Addition meets the requirements for level of service (LOS). A Traffic Impact
Study analyzed traffic impacts at the CSAH 34 (Birch Street) intersection and determined they
will continue to operate acceptably at Level of Service A. The additional 8 lots from Saddle Club
Fourth Addition and the connection of Fox Road will not negatively impact the level of service
operations.
(d) Water supply. A proposed subdivision shall be deemed to have an adequate water supply.
Saddle Club Fourth Addition will have an adequate water supply. The site is served by an 8"
watermain along Fox Road. The water system has capacity to serve this 9 lot residential

disposal systems.
Saddle Club Fourth Addition will be served with an adequate waste disposal system. The site is
served by an 8" sanitary sewer pipe will connect from Foxborough to Saddle Club along Fox
Road. The sanitary system has capacity to serve this 9 lot residential development; and
