CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL: Vice Chair Root called the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board meeting to order at 6:30 P.M. on September 11, 2019. II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE III. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The Agenda was approved as presented. IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Mr. Ruhland made a MOTION to approve the August 14, 2019 meeting minutes. Motion was supported by Mr. Laden. Motion carried 6-0. V. OPEN MIKE Vice Chair Root declared Open Mike at 6:31 P.M. Jaron Heath, 441 Birch Street, expressed concerns with construction around his house related to the St. Claire Estates development. Heath presented pictures to the Board. Vice Chair Root asked staff how the City handles the issue. Mr. Grochala stated that if an issue comes up during construction, the City will catch it through the inspection process. Mr. Root asked if he contacted the City when the problem came up. Mr. Heath stated that the contractors promised to fix everything but took their time but felt his complaint was minimized because it was not his property. The project was an extension of the sanitary sewer and water project. DATE : September 11, 2019 TIME STARTED : 6:30 P.M. TIME ENDED : 8:17 P.M. MEMBERS PRESENT : Michael Ruhland, Michael Root, Sue Peacock, Neil Evenson, Perry Laden, Jeremy Stimpson MEMBERS ABSENT : Paul Tralle STAFF PRESENT : Michael Grochala, Katie Larsen, Diane Hankee, Katharine Dowlding, Mara Strand Planning & Zoning Board September 11, 2019 Page 2 DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Stimpson asked about a long term decision for Mr. Heath’s driveway. Staff stated that there is a shared driveway easement, in his favor, over that property and that the existing driveway was originally on the neighboring property’s edge. Ms. Larsen stated improvements to the driveway is not an issue. Mr. Laden stated that he was concerned about Mr. Heath’s property and that he appreciates him coming to Open Mike. Mr. Evenson made a MOTION to close Open Mike at 6:41 P.M. Motion was supported by Mr. Stimpson. Motion carried 6-0. VI. ACTION ITEMS A. PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit for Open and Outdoor Storage for Direct Bore, Inc. (502 & 510 Lilac Street) Ms. Katie Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. The Board unanimously agreed to not require curb and gutter. Mr. Evenson asked about possible damage to the existing coniferous trees. Additional language will be added to the Conditional Use Permit regarding the replacement of trees if damage occurs. Mr. Laden asked if the outdoor storage area will still need to be fenced. Ms. Larsen confirmed that there needs to be a fence but does not need to be a screened fence. Mr. Stimpson mentioned tightening up the fence line and questioned parking area changes due to business growth. Ms. Larsen stated this issue is a concern and that we have the ability to do annual inspections on CUP’s. It would be spelled out in the resolution that the bituminous pad is the only place the storage area could be. Mr. Ruhland questioned the process for removing the house on the property if it went vacant for a year. Staff stating that there wouldn’t have to be a specific date for the removal of the house, but it does need to stay in compliant condition. The structure itself could be converted for another use, such as an office, etc. An annual report on file showing the use status of the house benefits the property owners, as well as, it tracks their interest and allows them the non-conforming status. It was summarized that the east and south side fence can stay chain link, with or without slats, and coniferous landscape screening shall be maintained for screening along the east and south sides, or the owners have the option of putting up a privacy fence. Ms. Larsen restated that the City proposes that the fence north of the outdoor storage area and south of the house shall be a true privacy fence. Planning & Zoning Board September 11, 2019 Page 3 DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Stimpson mentioned Bald Eagle Erectors, another industrial property with parking in the rear, and how it was required to have an aesthetically pleasing fence facing a public right of way. Mr. Grochala mentioned that there are a lot of similarities between the properties, as it was a non-conforming exterior storage area; the property owner updated their CUP and brought everything into conformance. Mr. Laden doesn’t see a reason to require a privacy fence. Mr. Stimpson stated that the future land use plan zones the property across the street commercial. Mr. Grochala explained that per the ordinance, any industrial building facing a public right of way requires an 8ft high privacy fence. Mr. Evenson stated a privacy fence should be required. Mr. Laden asked about the recommendation that requires the property owners to provide a lease agreement annually and if that is required for other non-conforming homes. Staff explained that there are likely other non-conforming homes, but they cannot be pin-pointed to implement this lease agreement requirement. When the City issues CUP’s, that is the opportunity to implement this requirement. This requirement was mentioned by the City Attorney. Vice Chair Root questioned the site performance agreement. Ms. Larsen stated that the applicant submitted cost estimates and 35% will be secured to ensure the work is done. Mr. Evenson questioned the future of the property. Ms. Larsen stated that the land will all be one parcel and they will not have the ability to sell off the house. Mr. Evenson questioned the house to the east. Ms. Larsen confirmed that they can continue as is, the property is not being rezoned, it is legal non-conforming, and they can sell their house without restrictions. Mr. Ruhland questioned a gate on the east side behind the accessory building. Cindy and Shawn Goldade, from Direct Bore Inc., stated that their intention is to have a chain link fence around the property with a rolling gate to be able to mow grass. The applicant does not think an 8 foot high privacy fence between the house and storage is necessary. The applicant does not feel it is necessary to provide a lease agreement to the City. Mrs. Goldade stated that they want to keep the property as two addresses. Mrs. Goldade questioned if a Termination Agreement or similar document should be drafted by the applicant or the City. The City Attorney will draft that document. Mrs. Goldade responded about tightening up the fence by stating that the fence size was chosen due to not wanting to lose area for snow storage. Vice Chair Root opened the public hearing at 7:37 P.M. Planning & Zoning Board September 11, 2019 Page 4 DRAFT MINUTES Marty Bland, property owner of the parcel to the south, explained that they would like to stay zoned General Business. Ms. Bland stated that they would like a fence on their north side (south side of Direct Bore property). Ms. Bland understands that there are trees right now but questioned what the recourse would be if the trees were damaged or removed. Vice Chair Root and Ms. Larsen explained that the Bland property is not being rezoned Light Industrial. Mr. Evenson made a MOTION to close the Public Hearing. Motion was supported by Ms. Peacock. Motion carried 6-0. The Board and staff discussed the chain link fence around the outdoor storage perimeter. Planning and Zoning Board recommendations: 1. Curb and gutter not required around outdoor storage area. 2. The existing mature coniferous trees along CSAH 12 (Apollo Drive) and the south property line as shown on Certificate of Survey are acceptable for landscape screening. The type and number of trees shall be maintained or an 8 foot high fence, in conformance with the Buffer and Screen Standards provisions of Section 1007.043(17)(f) as amended, shall be installed. 3. A solid 8ft tall privacy wood, vinyl, composite, or similar fence be shall be installed along the north side of the storage area. 4. The three parcels shall be combined into one parcel. 5. The combined parcel shall have two addresses. 6. A Termination Agreement shall be drafted by the City Attorney, executed by the applicant, and recorded against the parcel 7. Annually, the property owner shall provide a copy of the rental lease agreement, related to the single-family house, to the City. (Amended to: The property owner shall maintain records of lease agreements. Agreements are to be made available at the City’s request. Amendment proposed by Mr. Laden, supported by Mr. Ruhland and Mr. Evenson) 8. Open and outdoor storage is only allowed in the area labeled bituminous surface, shown on C2 Civil Site Plan. 9. Single-family home can be continued if compliant. 10. Inspection report regarding the septic system is submitted and approved to the building department. Mr. Evenson made a MOTION to approve the Rezoning and Conditional Use Permit for Open and Outdoor Storage for Direct Bore, Inc. (502 & 510 Lilac Street) with conditions. Motion was supported by Mr. Stimpson. Vice Chair Root opened discussion. Mr. Laden proposed to change the requirement for the privacy fence between the residence and the outdoor storage. There was no support for this amendment. Planning & Zoning Board September 11, 2019 Page 5 DRAFT MINUTES Motion carried 6-0. B. PUBLIC HEARING: Watermark PUD Development Stage Plan Amendment #3 – Architectural Design Standards Katie Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. Mr. Laden questioned if the villas will be combined in an area or dispersed throughout the development. Ms. Larsen stated that there will be a neighborhood of these type of house products. Josh Metzer, Lennar 16305 36th Avenue, Plymouth, MN, addressed the Board. Mr. Metzer understands the recommendations. Vice Chair Root questioned if there is different requirements in other communities. Mr. Metzer stated that this is the first time Lennar has come across a standard where the width of the garage was limited. Vice Chair Root opened the public hearing at 8:12 P.M. Ms. Laden made a MOTION to close the Public Hearing. Motion was supported by Mr. Stimpson. Motion carried 6-0. Mr. Laden recommended requiring a window in the largest gable facing the street. Mr. Laden made a MOTION to approve the Watermark PUD Development Stage Plan Amendment #3 – Architectural Design Standards with the recommendation. Motion was supported by Mr. Ruhland. Motion carried 6-0. VII. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Project updates Birch is predominately done and the planning process is starting for the west half of the project.

The applicant proposes to subdivide the existing parcel into 2 single family lots for the purpose of constructing one (1) new single family home. The lot is located at 6790 West Shadow Lake Drive and is 0.78 gross acres (34,023 sf) as measured above the OHWL. The Land Use Applications are: • Variance o Lot Size and Street Setback 2 • Preliminary Plat o 2 lots The following staff report is based on the following information: • Certificate of Survey and Resource Inventory Map prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated July 2, 2019 • Preliminary Plat prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated July 2, 2019 • Preliminary Grading, Drainage & Erosion Control Plan prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated July 2, 2019 • Tree Inventory/Removals prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated July 2, 2019 • Utility As-Built Plan prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated July 2, 2019 • CLOMR-F Exhibit prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated July 2, 2019 • Compensatory Volume Exhibit prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated July 3, 2019 • Report of Geotechnical Exploration prepared by ITCO Allied Engineering Company dated June 19, 2019 • Site Drainage Narrative prepared by Plowe Engineering, Inc. dated July 1, 2019 • Wetland Delineation Report prepared by Jacobson Environmental, PLLC dated November 27, 2018 On August 14, 2019, the Planning & Zoning Board opened and continued the public hearing to tonight’s meeting. The applicant requested a land use decision extension until November 29, 2019 to allow time for the City to work with MNDNR on some issues. ANALYSIS History The subject parcel was originally platted in 1982 as Lot, Block 1 Reshanau Shores. The residential subdivision was not served by municipal water or sanitary sewer. In June of 2017 the City Council approved the 2017 -2021 Street Reconstruction plan which included authorization to reconstruct West Shadow Lake Drive, Sandpiper, and Shadow Court. With approval of the street project City staff began working with property owners to consider extension of municipal sanitary sewer and water services as part of the project. The extension of sanitary sewer service was pursued to eliminate use of 61 existing individual sewage treatment systems, most of which are non-conforming systems. To aid in this project the City was successful in receiving a water quality grant from the Rice Creek Watershed District. In 2018, the City commenced the West Shadow Lake Drive Street and Utility Improvement Project to reconstruct the street and install municipal water main and sanitary sewer. With the extension of public utilities, larger lots may be able to subdivide. In anticipation of such subdivision requests, in 2018, the City also rezoned several parcels, including the subject parcel, from R, Rural to R-1X, Single Family Executive Residential. 3 Existing Site Conditions The residential lot contains the existing house and garage that was built in 1984, trees, grass, a shed, septic system, well, fire pit and wetland. The fire pit will be removed. The Certificate of Survey indicates Zimmerman Fine Sand and Lake Beaches soil. Groundwater was encountered at approximately 5 feet (EL 884.0). The parcel abuts Reshanau Lake and is subject to the requirements of the Shoreland Overlay Management District as detailed later in this staff report. Zoning The subject site was rezoned from R, Rural to R-1X, Single Family Executive in 2018 with Ordinance No. 19-18 in conjunction with the West Shadow Lake Drive Street and Utility Improvement Project. Current Zoning R-1X, Single Family Executive Current Land Use Single Family Residential Future Land Use per CP Low Density Sewered Residential Utility Staging Area 1A=2008-2015 Surrounding Zoning and Land Use Direction Zoning Current Land Use Future Land Use North R-1X Single Family Residential Low Density Sewered Residential South R-1X Single Family Residential Low Density Sewered Residential East Reshanau Lake Lake Lake West R-1X Single Family Residential Low Density Sewered Residential There are approximately 100 platted riparian lots adjacent to Reshanau Lake. A general overview of the riparian development indicates low density single family lots platted between 1969 and 1991. Lot sizes vary from approximately 12,000 sf to 43,560 sf. Smaller lots on the east side of Reshanau Lake are served by municipal water and sanitary sewer. Of the 100 platted riparian lots, approximately 10 existing lots on the west side of Reshanau Lake along West Shadow Lake Drive may have the potential to subdivide based on lot size. One of these lots is the proposed Poehling Addition. The remaining 90 lots do not appear to be further sub-dividable based on lot size or extensive on-site wetlands. 4 Density and Land Area Calculations The following chart implements Met Council’s formula for calculating net density. Gross Area (acres) 0.78 Wetlands & Water Bodies (0.07) Public Parks & Open Space 0.00 Arterial ROW 0.00 Other (Utility Transmission Easement) 0.00 Other (Wetland Buffer Area) 0.00 Net Area (acres) 0.71 # of Units 2 Gross Density (units/acre) 2.56 Net Density (units/acre) 2.80 The subject site is guided low density residential development and allows for 1.6 to 3.9 units per net acre. The proposed net density of 2.80 units per acre is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning Requirements The subject parcel is 0.78 gross acres (34,023 sf) as measured above the OHWL. Lot 1 will contain the existing single family house. Lot 2 is being created for the purpose of constructing one (1) single family home. The subdivision is also subject to requirements of the Shoreland Management Overlay District. Reshanau Lake is classified as a Recreational Development Lake in the Overlay District.

This is noted on the preliminary plat and shall be noted on the certificate of survey submitted with the building permit. OHWL Setback The required setback from the OHWL is 75 feet; however, Section 1102.07(2)(a) of the Overlay District provisions states “Where structures exist on the adjoining lots on both sides of a proposed building site, structure setbacks may be altered without a variance to conform to the adjoining setbacks from the ordinary high water level, provided the proposed building site is not located in a shore impact zone.” The OHWL setback from the existing house on the proposed Lot 1 is 54.8 feet and the OHWL setback on the adjoining parcel to the south, 6770 West Shadow Lake Drive, is approximately 67 feet. The average OHWL setback for Lot 2 is then 60.9 feet. The preliminary plat shows a OHWL building setback line on Lot 2 extending from the house structures on Lot 1 and 6770 West Shadow Lake Drive that is a minimum of 65 feet from the OHWL. The proposed house on Lot 2 is setback 78 feet from the OHWL. This is compliant with both the required and average setback. Variances Variances are required for lot size and street setback. 6 Lot Size The required minimum lot size for riparian shoreland parcels is 20,000 sf. The larger lots promote less intense development along lakes and provide additional surface area to minimize the amount of stormwater runoff impacts into the public waters. Per Section 1102.07(1)(c)1 of the Overlay District provisions: Only land above the ordinary high water level (OHWL) of public waters and outside existing watercourses can be used to meet the lot area standards. Under the Shoreland Management Overlay Ordinance, watercourses refer to tributary rivers and streams. Rice Creek and Hardwood Creek are the only watercourses listed in Lino Lakes and are not applicable to the Poehling Addition. Therefore, lot area will be measured above the OHWL of Reshanau Lake. Per the Preliminary Plat: Lot Area Lot 1 Lot 2 Total Required 20,000 sf 20,000 sf 20,000 sf 40,000 sf Area Above OHWL 17,598 sf 16,425 sf 34,023 sf Variance Required 2,402 sf 3,575 sf 5,977 sf Street Setback The required local street setback is 30 feet. The applicant is requesting a 25 foot street setback along West Shadow Lake Road for Lot 2. Reducing the front setback allows more separation from the building pad to the existing wetland and OHWL. There will also be less floodplain impact and impervious surface. The existing street setback for Lot 1 is 22.2 feet. Staff is not sure why there is a deviation on Lot 1 other than the fact that the house was constructed in 1984 and surveys were not required and setbacks may not have been verified. Building Requirements At the time of building permit, the single family dwelling unit will be reviewed for compliance regarding floor area, garage and design and construction standards. Subdivision Ordinance The legal description of the subject site is Lot 1, Block 1, Reshanau Shores. It was platted in 1982. Per Section 1001.076(2) of the Subdivision Regulation, any subdivision that results in the creation of one or more sewered residential lots shall be platted in full compliance with preliminary plat and final plat requirements and therefore, it is not a minor subdivision. Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code 7 The preliminary plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for low density residential development and zoning code requirements for R-1X, Single Family Executive as discussed above. Blocks and Lots The preliminary plat contains Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 1, Poehling Addition. As noted above, Lot 1 contains the existing house and Lot 2 proposes a single family home. Variances are required for lot size and street setback. Streets and Alleys Both lots are served by West Shadow Lake Road which is being reconstructed and municipal water and sanitary sewer is being installed. The existing road has 60 feet of right-of-way and the paved road surface is 26 feet wide with ribbon curb. Easements Standard drainage and utility easements at least 5 and 10 feet wide are provided along all lot lines. The wetland and stormwater basin shall be covered by an easement that includes a 10 foot buffer. Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Per the Site Drainage Narrative prepared by Plow Engineering, Inc. dated July 1, 2019, there are 3 areas of discharge from the site (one to the north and 2 to the east). The existing fire pit will be removed and a small basin will be constructed in the area adjacent to the fire pit. Per WSB Engineering letter dated September 24, 2019, new impervious area from the site is all routed to the east towards Reshanau Lake. The new impervious surface is less than 10,000 square feet, and all runoff from new impervious will run over a pervious surface prior to leaving the site, therefore no water quality treatment will be required as a result of the additional impervious surface from the single-family residential development. Side yard drainage ways are required. Utilities Sanitary Sewer A 3” sanitary sewer force main is being installed along West Shadow Lake Drive. The existing house shall hook up upon availability. The new house shall hook-up upon construction. The existing septic drain field shall be removed. Watermain An 8” DIP watermain is being installed along West Shadow Lake Drive. The existing house shall hook up upon availability. The new house shall hook-up upon construction. 8 The existing well may be used for irrigation only or shall be properly capped and abandoned. Public Land Dedication The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication for the new lot. The lot with the existing house will not be charged a park dedication fee. Park Dedication Fees Total # of Lots = 1 x 2019 Park Dedication Fee $3,000 = Total Due $3,000 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. Sheet 4, Tree Inventory/Removals identifies 96 significant trees on the entire site and 13 of these trees will be removed. Of those 13 trees, 8 of the trees are within the basic use area of the house pad and driveway and mitigation is not required. The other 5 trees are being removed in order to construct the basin. The remaining 83 trees provide open space mitigation requirements, prevent erosion control and provide shoreland aesthetics. Further tree mitigation is not required. Landscaping Canopy cover, foundation landscaping, and buffer and screens are not required for the 2 lot residential subdivision. Open Area Landscaping The proposed stormwater basin is approximately 2,000 sf. This would require 1 large tree and 3 large shrubs. The remaining 83 trees and existing shrubs on site satisfy the open area landscape requirements. No further landscaping is required. Boulevard Trees Boulevard trees are required at the rate of 1 tree per lot frontage for singly family lots. This would require 2 boulevard trees. The 6 existing trees on Lot 1 and 1 existing tree on Lot 2 along West Shadow Lake Drive provide boulevard tree coverage. No additional boulevard trees are required. Shoreline Buffer Zone 9 Reshanau Lake is an impaired, recreational development lake and efforts to protect and improve the natural resource should be implemented with any development. A native vegetated shoreline buffer will be required as a stormwater management best management practice (BMP) to minimize runoff pollutants from entering the lake. The buffer will also help stabilize the shoreline, reduce erosion and support aquatic plants and wildlife. An average 20 foot wide but no less than 10 foot minimum wide native vegetated buffer zone extending from the shoreline shall be installed and maintained on both Lot 1 and Lot 2. A landscape plan detailing the buffer plantings and maintenance shall be submitted. Attached is a MNDNR Shoreline Alterations: Natural Buffers and Landscaping handout. Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) An Environmental Assessment Worksheet is not mandated. The two (2) unattached residential units are under the 250 unattached unit thresholds required for a mandatory EAW. Wetlands A Wetland Delineation Report was completed by Jacobson Environmental, PLLC on November 27, 2018. A WCA Notice of Decision approving the wetland delineation was issued by RCWD on January 1, 2019. Two basins were delineated. Basin 1 is approximately 0.046 acres (2,003 sf) and is located within the rear yard of Lot 2. Basin 2 is Reshanau Lake and portions of its shoreline. No wetland impacts are proposed. Per RCWD, Rule F is not triggered; therefore, no WMC wetland buffers are required. A drainage and utility easement 10 feet above the delineated wetland is required. Floodplain The 2015 DFIRM indicates Zone AE floodplain on both Lot 1 and Lot 2. The FEMA base flood elevation (BFE) is 887. The applicant is proposing 110 cy of floodplain fill and 110 cy of compensatory storage. The applicant has drafted a CLOMR-F application to revise the floodplain map. It should be noted that any future proposed structures such as accessory structures shall meet the floodplain ordinance requirements. The City Engineer also notes the low floor elevation shall be 2 feet above the BFE and the plans shall be revised. Shoreland Management Overlay The general purpose and intent of the Shoreland Management Overlay ordinance is to protect public waters. Per the ordinance Policy statement, the uncontrolled use of shorelands of the city affects the public health, safety and general welfare not only by contributing to pollution of public waters, but also by impairing the local tax base. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare to provide for the wise subdivision, use and development of shorelands of public waters. 10 As discussed, the site is located in a Shoreland Management Overlay district of Reshanau Lake. This lake is a classified as a Recreational Development Lake and has an 883.5 OHWL elevation. The required setback from the OHWL is 75 feet; however, Section 1102.07(2)(a) states “Where structures exist on the adjoining lots on both sides of a proposed building site, structure setbacks may be altered without a variance to conform to the adjoining setbacks from the ordinary high water level, provided the proposed building site is not located in a shore impact zone.” The OHWL setback on the proposed Lot 1 is 54.8 feet and the OHWL setback on the adjoining parcel to the south, 6770 West Shadow Lake Drive, is approximately 67 feet. The average OHWL setback for Lot 2 is 60.9 feet. The preliminary plat shows a OHWL building setback line on Lot 2 extending from the house structures on Lot 1 and 6770 West Shadow Lake Drive that is a minimum of 65 feet from the OHWL. The proposed house on Lot 2 is setback 78 feet from the OHWL. This is compliant with both the required and average setback. Also noted was the need for a lot size variance from the required 20,000 sf. This is further explained below under Variances. Sheet 2, Preliminary Plat notes impervious surface coverage for Lot 1 = 20.9% and Lot 2 = 14.6%. Both meet the allowed 30% impervious surface coverage of the shoreland ordinance. A native vegetated shoreline buffer will be required as a stormwater management best management practice (BMP) to minimize runoff pollutants from entering the lake. Comprehensive Plan Poehling Addition is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan in regards to resource management, land use, housing, transportation and utilities. Resource Management System Plan Goals of the Resource Management System Plan include: • Natural Resources and Amenities o Goal #1: Identify, protect and preserve the desirable natural areas and ecological and aquatic resources of the community. • 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. 11 Municipal sanitary sewer is being installed along West Shadow Lake Drive. The extension of this utility to serve lots eliminates on-site septic systems and promotes the goal of protecting the natural resource, Reshanau Lake, by preventing sewage pollution of public waters. The Poehling Addition also protects the natural resource by providing storm water and floodplain management and installing vegetative shoreline buffers. Land Use Plan Goal 2: Ensure that zoning and subdivision ordinances and official maps are consistent with the intent and specific direction provided within the Comprehensive Plan. Policies: 1. Ensure developers meet the standards specified within the land-use plan and official controls, including zoning and subdivision ordinances and official maps. 2. Ensure compatibility of adjacent land uses. Poehling Addition is compliant with the zoning, subdivision and shoreland management ordinances with approved variances. The two (2) lot subdivision is consistent with low density residential development as guided by the Comprehensive Plan. The development is also compatible with adjacent smaller lot single family residential land uses. Housing Plan Goal 1: Ensure housing development is compatible with existing and adjacent land uses and provides accessibility to key community features and natural resources. Poehling Addition meets the goals of the housing plan. The development is compatible with the existing and adjacent residential homes and provides access to the natural resource. Transportation Plan Goal 1: Plan for and achieve required street improvements and connectivity throughout the City of Lino Lakes. West Shadow Lake Drive is a reconstructed local street and has capacity to accommodate one (1) new single family home. 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. 12 Municipal sanitary sewer is being installed along West Shadow Lake Drive. The extension of this utility to serve lots eliminates on-site septic systems and promotes the goal of preventing pollution of public waters. The sanitary system has capacity to handle two (2) single family homes. Funding of the sanitary sewer extension contemplated a higher allowable density of homes as is reflected in the rezoning of the properties to R- 1X 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. Municipal watermain is being installed along West Shadow Lake Drive. The water supply system has capacity to handle two (2) single family homes. Planning Districts The site is located in Planning District 1 and is guided for low density residential development. There are no specific planning recommendations for this site. The site is located within Reshanau Resource Management Unit (RMU). Environmental Board Comments The Environmental Board reviewed the proposed variance and preliminary plat on July 31, 2019. They recommended approval of the project with conditions listed in the attached August 6, 2019 Memo from the Environmental Coordinator. MNDNR Comments The DNR reviewed the Poehling Addition preliminary plat and variance request. They recommend denial of the lot size variance request. See attached MNDNR letter dated October 2, 2019. Staff has drafted the following Findings of Fact supporting the variance request for consideration of the Board and Council. Final Plat A land use application for final plat and Development Agreement shall be required. FINDINGS OF FACT Variance Variances are required for lot size and street setback. 13 Per Section 1007.018(1)(a) Criteria and Findings of Fact. No variance shall be granted unless it meets all the criteria in paragraphs 1. through 7. below. The City shall make findings regarding compliance with these criteria. 1. The variance shall be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. The general purpose and intent of the Shoreland Management Overlay ordinance is to protect public waters. Per the ordinance Policy statement, the uncontrolled use of shorelands of the city affects the public health, safety and general welfare not only by contributing to pollution of public waters, but also by impairing the local tax base. In this case, extension of utilities to serve the lots and eliminate on-site septic systems, while allowing the increased density to fund the utility extension, promotes the goal of preventing pollution of public waters. The required larger 20,000 sf riparian lot areas promote less intense development along lakes and provide additional surface area to minimize the rate and amount of stormwater runoff and pollutants that enter the public waters. The proposed lot sizes, 17,598 sf and 16,425 sf are minor deviations from the 20,000 sf ordinance requirements. Conditions may be imposed in the granting of a variance to protect adjacent properties and the public interest. A basin, side yard drainage way and vegetative buffer are required to minimize stormwater and pollutants from entering the public water. The existing house and new house are required to connect to municipal water and sanitary service upon availability. The required local street setback is 30 feet. The applicant is requesting a 25 foot street setback along West Shadow Lake Road for Lot 2. Reducing the front setback allows more separation from the building pad to the existing wetland and public water. There will also be less floodplain impact and impervious surface. The existing street setback for Lot 1 is 22.2 feet. Staff is not sure why there is a deviation on Lot 1 other than the fact that the house was constructed in 1984 and surveys were not required and setbacks may not have been verified. 2. The variance shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The variance request is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The subject site is guided for low density residential development and the proposed 2 lot residential development is consistent in regards to land use and density. 3. There shall be practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance. “Practical difficulties,” as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the ordinance. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight 14 for solar energy systems. There are practical difficulties in meeting the 20,000 lot area requirements. The parcel was originally platted in 1982 before the adoption of the 1995 Shoreland Management Overlay ordinance. The minimum lot size requirement at the time of platting was 1 acre; however, the lot size was not measured from the OHWL. The existing parcel is 34,023 sf as measured above the OHWL; therefore, creating two 20, 000 sf lots is not possible. When houses were constructed in the mid-1980’s, there was a conscientious effort to locate them so the lots could be subdivided in the future with the extension of municipal sanitary sewer. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner. The subject site is guided for low density residential development and the proposed 2 lot residential subdivision is consistent in regards to land use and density. 4. The plight of the landowner shall be due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property and was not created by the landowner. The applicant is proposing to subdivide an existing lot of record platted in 1982 prior to the City’s 1995 adoption of the shoreland management ordinance. 5. The variance shall not alter the essential character of the locality and is consistent with development of adjacent properties. The variance shall not alter the essential character of the locality. Riparian development adjacent to Reshanau Lake includes low density single family lots. Many of these smaller lots were platted between 1969 and 1991. 6. A variance shall not be granted for any use that is not allowed under the ordinance for property in the zoning district where the subject site is located. Single family detached homes are allowed as Permitted Uses in the R-1X, Single Family Executive Residential District. 7. The variance is not based on economic considerations alone. For all of the above reasons, factors other than solely economic factors, justify the grant of the requested variances.. Preliminary Plat Per Section 1001.013, Premature Subdivision: 15 (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. (a) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Including any of the following: 1. Land use plan; 2. Transportation plan; 3. Utility (sewer and water) plans; 4. Local water management plan; 5. Capital improvement plan; and 6. Growth management policies, including MUSA allocation criteria. Poehling Addition is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan in regards to resource management, land use, housing, transportation and utilities as detailed in this staff report. 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: 1. The urban subdivision must be located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) or the staged growth area as established by the city's Comprehensive Plan; 2. The cost of utilities and street extensions must be covered by one or more of the following: a. An immediate assessment to the proposed subdivision; b. One hundred percent of the street and utility costs are privately financed by the developer; c. The cost of regional and/or oversized trunk utility lines can be financed with available city trunk funds; and d. The cost and timing of the expenditure of city funds are consistent with the city's capital improvement plan. 3. The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system are consistent with the normal costs as projected by the water and sewer rate study; and 4. The developer payments will offset additional costs of utility installation or future operation and maintenance. Poehling Addition is consistent with infill policies. The development is within the current Utility Staging Area 1A=2008-2015. In 2018, the City commenced the West Shadow Lake Drive Street and Utility Improvement Project to reconstruct the street and install municipal water and sanitary sewer. 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. 16 (c) Roads or highways to serve the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall meet the following requirements for level of service (LOS), as defined by the Highway Capacity Manual: 1. If the existing level of service (LOS) outside of the proposed subdivision is A or B, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service more than one grade; 2. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is C, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below C; 3. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is D, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below D; 4. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections providing access to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F, the subdivision developer must provide, as part of the proposed project, improvements needed to ensure a level of service D or better; 5. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision must have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed subdivision or the developer will pay to correct any structural deficiencies; 6. The traffic generated from a proposed subdivision shall not require city street improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lakes capital improvement plan. However, the city may, at its discretion, consider developer-financed improvements to correct any street deficiencies; 7. The LOS requirements in divisions (2)(c)1. to 4. above do not apply to the I-35W/Lake Drive or I-35E/Main St. interchanges. At city discretion, interchange impacts must be evaluated in conjunction with Anoka County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and a plan must be prepared to determine improvements needed to resolve deficiencies. This plan must determine traffic generated by the subdivision project, how this traffic contributes to the total traffic, and the time frame of the improvements. The plan also must examine financing options, including project contribution and cost sharing among other jurisdictions and other properties that contribute to traffic at the interchange; and 8. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination. Poehling Addition meets the requirements for level of service (LOS). Ruffed Grouse Road is a local street and has capacity to accommodate 1 new single family home. West Shadow Lake Drive is being reconstructed in 2019. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination. (d) Water supply. A proposed subdivision shall be deemed to have an adequate water supply when: 1. The city water system has adequate wells, storage or pipe capacity to serve the subdivision; 2. The water utility extension is consistent with the Lino Lakes water plan and offers the opportunity for water main looping to serve the urban subdivision; 3. The extension of water mains will provide adequate water pressure for personal use and fire protection; and 17 4. The rural subdivision can demonstrate that each of the proposed lots can be provided with a potable water supply. Poehling Addition will have an adequate water supply. In 2018, the City commenced the West Shadow Lake Drive Street and Utility Improvement Project to reconstruct the street and install municipal water and sanitary sewer. The subject site is served by a 8” DIP watermain. The water supply system has capacity to handle 1 single family home. (e) Waste disposal systems. A proposed subdivision shall be served with adequate waste disposal systems when: 1. The urban sewered subdivision is located inside the city's MUSA or is consistent with the MUSA allocation criteria; 2. The city has sufficient MUSA and pipe capacity to serve the subdivision if developed to its maximum density; 3. The subdivision will result in a sewer extension consistent with Lino Lakes sewer plan and capital improvement plan; 4. A rural subdivision can demonstrate that each lot can be served by an adequate sanitary sewer disposal system; and 5. A rural subdivision with a proposed communal sanitary sewer or water system has an effective long range management and maintenance program with proper financing. Poehling Addition will be served with an adequate waste disposal system. In 2018, the City commenced the West Shadow Lake Drive Street and Utility Improvement Project to reconstruct the street and install municipal water and sanitary sewer. The subject site is served by a 3” sanitary sewer force main and has capacity to handle 1 single family home.

Rud and Sons, Inc., received on July 3, 2019. The following documents were reviewed: • Poehling Addition Certificate of Survey, Preliminary Plat, Grading and Drainage, Utility plan, CLOMR-F Exhibit dated July 2, 2019 • Site Drainage Narrative dated July 1, 2019 • FEMA Floodplain Application • Geotechnical Exploration Report prepared by ITCO Allied Engineering Company dated June 19, 2019 Engineering • General The Poehling Subdivision is located at 6790 West Shadow Lake Drive. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the property and keep the existing home on one of the lots. This subdivision is subsequent to the West Shadow Lake Drive reconstruction project and re-zoning to R1-X where municipal sewer and water were extended to serve the site. The property is located along Reshanau Lake and within the Shoreland Management District. The property has existing wetlands and floodplain on site. Reshanau Lake has an ordinary high water elevation of 883.7 and a base flood elevation of 887.0. Comments: 1. The City’s ordinance requires that a subdivision construction plan be prepared and signed by a civil engineer. 2. Due to Shoreland Ordinance regulations, the proposed subdivision of the site does not conform to required lot size, therefore a variance from the City and/or MnDNR will be required prior to preliminary plat approval. • Site Grading To build on the proposed subdivided lot, the applicant is proposing to bring in fill. The fill is required to meet the low floor elevation above the floodplain. Comments: 1. The low floor elevation shall be 2 feet above the base flood elevation. LFE shall be 889. • Stormwater Management New impervious area from the site is all routed to the east towards Reshanau Lake. The new impervious surface is less than 10,000 square feet, and all runoff from new impervious will run over a pervious surface prior to leaving the site, therefore no water quality treatment will be required as a result of the additional impervious surface from the single-family residential development. Comments: 1. The applicant shall create a side yard drainage way between the existing and proposed home.

Shadow Lake Drive in Lino Lakes, MN. Variances to shoreland ordinance standards are an important tool for balancing property rights with the public’s right to clean water and healthy habitats. However, variances to shoreland standards should be rare and only for exceptional situations. The variance criteria in Minnesota Statutes must be used for determining these exceptional situations. Note that ALL five variance criteria must be satisfied to approve a variance. These five criteria are: • Is the variance consistent with the comprehensive plan? • Are there unique circumstances to the property not created by the landowner? • Is the variance in harmony with the purposes and intent of the ordinance? • Will the variance, if granted, alter the essential character of the locality? • Does the proposal put property to use in a reasonable manner? I reviewed the application against the five criteria above and below is a summary of how the application compares to three of them that the City may want to review the variance request against. Are there unique circumstances to the property not created by the landowner? Unique circumstances relate to physical characteristics of the land - such as lot dimensions (not area), steep slopes, poor soils, wetlands, and trees. These do not include physical limitations or personal circumstances created by the property owner that prevent compliance with the minimum lot size. 2 Owning an approximately 30,000 sq ft. lot in a zoning district that has a 20,000 sq ft. minimum lot size is not a unique circumstance. The need for a variance is created by the landowner’s desire to subdivide a conforming lot that is not large enough to create two lots. Is the variance in harmony with the purposes and intent of the ordinance? The purpose and intent of restricting minimum lot size is to limit the density of development occurring in shoreland areas. Increasing density can have wide ranging impacts. For example, impervious surface increases, resulting in an increased rate and amount of runoff and pollutants entering public waters. The variance requested does not seek minimal relief of the minimum lot size but is a substantial deviation that is not in harmony with the purposes and intent of the City’s Shoreland Ordinance. The proposed variance to allow a conforming lot to be subdivided into two non-conforming lots sets a precedent for all zoning districts of the City. Does the proposal put property to use in a reasonable manner? The purpose and intent of having a mimimum lot size is to control the density of development in shoreland areas .The property currently is being used in a reasonable manner. That is, a single family home that is located on a lot that is between the minimum lot size and a lot that is large enough to subdivide. When evaluated against the purpose and intent of the City’s Shoreland Ordinance the proposed subdivision does not use the property in a reasonable manner. Recommendation After reviewing the application, it appears that the variance request is being driven by the economic interests of the landowner. Legal standards require that variances may only be granted when the applicant establishes that there are “practical difficulties” in complying with the official control. The DNR recommends denial of the variance request to subdivide a lot that currently conforms to lot size requirements into two non-conforming lots. State rule requires that final decisions regarding variances be sent to the DNR within 10 days of the decision. The DNR monitors the circumstances and frequency under which local governments approve variances to shoreland ordinances and may take legal action in situations where variances that don’t meet the statutory criteria, and result in negative impacts to shoreland areas and adjacent public waters, are approved. Please notify me within 10 days of the planning commission and city council’s decisions, including the rationale or “findings of fact” and a summary of the public record and testimony. If you have any questions please call me at 651-259-5822. 3 Sincerely, Jason Spiegel North Metro Area Hydrologist Shoreline Alterations: Natural Buffers and Lakescaping What can I do to create a more natural shoreline? A natural shoreline is a complex ecosystem that sustains fish and wildlife and protects the entire lake. Native vegetation along the shore acts as a buffer zone, intercepting nutrients and reducing runoff, erosion, and sedimentation. Aquatic plants provide food and shelter for ducks, songbirds, and other animals while reducing problems caused by Canada geese and burrowing muskrats. Plants growing in and near the water are critical for wildlife and fish habitat and a healthy lakeshore. Tall plants like bulrush, lake sedge, and cattail can reduce the energy of wave action to minimize erosion and help main- tain water quality. Creation of a buffer zone is the essence of the lakescaping concept. A buffer zone is an unmowed strip of native vegetation that extends both lakeward and landward from the water’s edge. A buffer zone that extends 25-50 feet from shore is preferable, but even 10-15 feet provides benefits. Installing a buffer zone can restore many functions critical to the health of the lake that may have been eliminated previously by sod, hard structures, or mowing. Planting grasses and flowering plants that are native to your area will diversify and enhance your shoreline and provide a seasonal show of color. Creating and maintaining natural buffer zones along the shore does not mean your property has to look unkempt. Buffers and upland islands of trees, shrubs, and flowers can bring natural beauty to your yard. Additionally, tall native plants typically have deep root systems. They will slow erosion, decrease ice damage, increase rain infiltration, and act as a barrier to discourage geese from walking on your shoreline property. Your shoreline is part of a larger community and ecosystem. Individual choices by many have cumulative impacts on a lake and its ecosystem. Your actions can restore or degrade the quality of the ecosystem. Restoring your lakeshore to a more natural condition is important, even if your neighbors are not restoring theirs, because it can help wildlife habitat, water quality, and fish. A buffer zone of vegetation provides a natural appearance to your shoreline and protects wildlife habitat, water quality, and fish. Where can I find additional information? Book and Online Resources Lakescaping for Wildlife and Water Quality (C.L. Henderson, C.J. Dindorf, F.J. Rozumalski, 1999, Department of Natural Resources*) is a book showing techniques to prevent shoreline erosion and restore wildlife habitat, wildflowers, and clean water. Restore Your Shore (2002, Department of Natural Resources) is a sequel to the lakescaping book. This on-line tool presents ideas to use in protecting and restoring natural shorelands.

Native trees, shrubs, and grasses dissipate the energy of raindrops, slow the water, and allow it to infiltrate the soil. The DNR and your county soil and water conservation district can help you select the right plants for your project. Listed below are some other erosion-control recommendations. • Prevent erosion. Preventing erosion by maintaining native vegetation is less costly than fixing an eroded area. Think “root systems.” Native plants typically have greater rooting depth and root density. For example, the roots of the little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) are about 2-3 feet long and have a great capacity to hold soil. In contrast, the roots of lawn grass are only 2-3 inches long. • Identify and address the cause of erosion. Causes may include excessive foot traffic on fragile soils, vegetation clearing (both upland and in the lake), yard waste on the bank that kills vegetation, wave action from boat traffic and prevailing winds (especially when water is high), ice heaves, overland runoff down slopes, stairways that channel water, and runoff from impervious surfaces. • Choose erosion-control methods that are “light” on the land- scape. For example, use biodegradable erosion control materials that contain biodegradable netting, not photodegradable plastic netting which can trap wildlife. If wave action is eroding the bottom (toe) of the bank, consider reinforcing only the toe of the bank and planting native vegetation on the remainder. • Plant aquatic vegetation. In-lake vegetation can help prevent erosion. Native aquatic vegetation disperses wave energy, anchors soil, limits ice heaves, and provides excellent fish and wildlife habitat. Look around your lake and note how nature works to minimize erosion on healthy, more natural shorelines. What types of wild- flowers, grasses, trees, and shrubs do you see in your area? Then determine how much of your lakeshore to naturalize, keeping in mind how much you need for lake access, swimming areas, docks, and dock storage areas. Talk to your neighbors, share ideas, and coordinate efforts to increase habitat and natural shorelines. Natural shorelines are gaining acceptance as people understand the important role shorelines play in protecting their lake and a diverse ecosystem. Many lake associations are developing demon- stration projects on area lakes. Contrast the eroded shoreline lacking vegetation (foreground) with the well-vegetated, uneroded shoreline in the distance. The picture contrasts the shallow (2-3 inches) roots of Kentucky bluegrass to the deep (3-5 feet) and dense roots of native grasses. The root systems of native grasses may be effective for preventing erosion.Steve AdamsLakescaping Design Factors to Consider Steps for Creating a Buffer Zone Describe your shoreline area, including the following elements: • Natural features, including existing vegetation and woody debris, fish and wildlife use, and opportunities for links to neighboring habitat; • Removal of stuctures or construction debris, such as retaining walls or concrete, respectively; • Location of the house, views, trees, pathways or stairways, docks, and swimming areas; • Sun, including amount and number of hours of direct sunlight; • Topography, including ice ridges and slopes (facing directions and steepness); • Soil characteristics, including type, drainage, texture, and fertility; • Water, such as natural seeps, wet areas during high water, drainage, wave action, and runoff; and • Fetch (miles of open water/waves), prevailing winds and ice push. These elements will help determine what types of erosion control measures (biologs, brush bundles, erosion control fabric) might be needed in order to get vegetation established on the site.

How will the site be used (view- ing, swimming, boating, fishing)? What kinds of native trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses do you like? Consider their color, height, and appearances at different times of the year. The type of vegetation you select may affect the shoreline’s ability to withstand erosion. Develop a design and management plan based on your lakeshore and preferences. Consult references such as the Lakescaping for Wildlife and Water Quality book or the on-line program Restore Your Shore (see front page) for assistance on designing your restora- tion project. You can also look at the DNR Fisheries lake surveys for information. Visit nearby natural areas or other shorelines to get ideas. Obtain any necessary permits from your local unit of government or the DNR. Be realistic about the size of your shoreline project. Start small, if necessary, and add to it in phases. Identify the areas for planting native vegetation and prepare the site for planting. It may be necessary to control non-native, invasive species and turf grass first. Upland plants should be spaced from 1 foot to 3 feet apart; trees and shrubs should be 6 feet to 14 feet apart. If you decide to use an erosion- control blanket, the supplier can help you determine which type to use. After installing the blanket, simply cut a hole in it for each plant. As an alternative to the blanket, mulch could be used to control erosion, retain moisture, and suppress weeds. If you add aquatic plants, a temporary barrier in the water may be needed to protect new plants until they are established. For guidance on aquatic plantings, please refer to the Restore Your Shore on-line program or your local Soil and Water Conservation District. Your new plantings require some maintenance in the first few years as they become established. Provide from 1 inch to 2 inches of wa- ter per week the first season and during dry periods in the second season. Weeding during the first few years helps the plants become established and gives them an edge. Replace vegetation that did not survive by replanting species that were most successful at your site. By the third year, watering is no longer necessary, but you should continue to remove weeds. Maintenance (TOP) Lakefront of home on Lake Marion, Dakota County.

Page 3 of 4 Planting Shoreline Alterations: Natural Buffers and Landscaping May 2010/revised November 2012 Submergent and emergent plants provide underwater cover for fish, amphibians, birds, insects, and other organisms. These plants break wave action, which helps prevent erosion, and stabilize bottom sediments, which otherwise can be resuspended by currents and wave action. Plants growing on upland slopes and lake banks help keep the lake water clean by holding sediments in place against the eroding forces of water runoff and by absorbing excess nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen.Adapted by Jean Miller, DNR Shoreline Alterations: Natural Buffers and Lakescaping Permit Requirements For most projects constructed below the ordinary high-water level* (OHWL) of public waters as determined by the DNR, an individual Public Waters Work Permit is required, but an indi- vidual permit is not required for planting buffer zones. Collecting, transplanting, spraying, or removing aquatic vegetation below the OHWL, however, may require a permit from the DNR Fisher- ies Aquatic Plant Management (APM) Program. Please go to: mndnr. gov/shorelandmgmt/apg/regulations.html for more information on APM Permits. If you have questions concerning the contents of this infor- mation sheet, contact your local DNR Area Hydrologist. Other governmental units (federal, state, city, county, township, and watershed authority) may require a permit for that portion of the project within their jurisdiction, which usually involves work above the OHWL. It is advisable to contact them. photos by Bill Bartodziej(ABOVE) In 2000, start of restoration along Lake Phalen in St. Paul. (RIGHT) View of the same site in 2002. Summary Maintaining a healthy lake is far less costly than trying to fix a degraded one. If you are fortunate enough to have a natural shoreline, maintain or enhance it as a buffer zone and minimize erosion on the areas used for access or recreation. If your property lacks natural areas, plant native vegetation or let areas grow naturally. You will be surprised at the aesthetic appeal, as well as the energy and time you save, of helping your lake help itself.

The applicants propose to subdivide their existing parcel into 2 single family lots for the purpose of constructing one (1) new single family home. The lot is located at 6820 West Shadow Lake Drive and is 0.96 gross acres (41,741 sf) as measured above the OHWL. The Land Use Applications are: • Preliminary Plat 2 o 2 lots The following staff report is based on the following information: • Certificate of Survey and Resource Inventory Map prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated September 12, 2019 • Preliminary Plat prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated September 12, 2019 • Preliminary Grading, Drainage & Erosion Control Plan prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated September 12, 2019 • Tree Inventory/Removals prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated September 12, 2019 • Utility As-Built Plan prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated September 12, 2019 • CLOMR-F Exhibit prepared by EG Rud & Sons, Inc. dated September 12, 2019 • Report of Geotechnical Exploration prepared by ITCO Allied Engineering Company dated July 24, 2019 • Site Drainage Narrative prepared by Plowe Engineering, Inc. dated September 13, 2019 • Wetland Delineation Report prepared by Jacobson Environmental, PLLC dated August 2, 2019 ANALYSIS History The subject parcel was originally platted in 1978 as Lot, Block 1, Lakes Addition No. 5. The residential subdivision was not served by municipal water or sanitary sewer. In 2018, the City commenced the West Shadow Lake Drive Street and Utility Improvement Project to reconstruct the street and install municipal water main and sanitary sewer. With the extension of public utilities, larger lots may be able to subdivide. In anticipation of such subdivision requests, in 2018, the City also rezoned several parcels, including the subject parcel, from R, Rural to R-1X, Single Family Executive Residential. Existing Site Conditions The residential lot contains the existing house and garage that was built in 1978, trees, grass, a shed, septic system, well, fire pit and wetland. Overhead wires exist along the street. The existing driveway turn around will be removed. The fire pit and shed will be removed or relocated. The Certificate of Survey indicates Zimmerman Fine Sand and Lake Beaches soil. Groundwater was encountered at approximately 2.8 feet (EL 883.7). The parcel abuts Reshanau Lake and is subject to the requirements of the Shoreland Overlay Management District as detailed later in this staff report. Zoning The subject site was rezoned from R, Rural to R-1X, Single Family Executive in 2018 with Ordinance No. 19-18 in conjunction with the West Shadow Lake Drive Street and Utility Improvement Project. 3 Current Zoning R-1X, Single Family Executive Current Land Use Single Family Residential Future Land Use per CP Low Density Sewered Residential Utility Staging Area 1A=2008-2015 Surrounding Zoning and Land Use Direction Zoning Current Land Use Future Land Use North R-1X Single Family Residential Low Density Sewered Residential South R-1X Single Family Residential Low Density Sewered Residential East Reshanau Lake Lake Lake West R-1X Single Family Residential Low Density Sewered Residential Density and Land Area Calculations The following chart implements Met Council’s formula for calculating net density.

The proposed net density of 2.20 units per acre is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning Requirements The subject parcel is 0.96 gross acres (41,741 sf) as measured above the OHWL. Lot 1 is being created for the purpose of constructing one (1) single family home. Lot 2 will contain the existing single family house. The subdivision is also subject to requirements of the Shoreland Management Overlay District. Reshanau Lake is classified as a Recreational Development Lake in the Overlay District.

House was built prior to 1995 adoption of Shoreland Management Ordinance 4One water-oriented accessory structure may be setback 10 feet from the OHWL 5Per Shoreland Management Overlay District The lots will have limited ability to construct accessory structures, decks or additions due to the required OHWL setback and floodplain requirements. This shall be noted on the preliminary plat and certificate of survey submitted with the building permit. 5 The plans also show a “BLDSB” line in the side yards. These lines should be omitted since side yard building setbacks vary between principal and accessory structures. OHWL Setback The current required setback from the OHWL on unsewered lots on recreational development lakes is 100 feet. The existing house setback from the OHWL is 73.5 feet. The house is considered legal non-conforming because it was constructed in 1978 prior to the City’s adoption of the Shoreland Management Ordinance in 1995. With the installation of municipal sanitary sewer along West Shadow Lake Drive, the required setback from the OHWL on sewered lots on Recreational Development lakes is 75 feet. This is applicable to both Lot 1 and Lot 2. Although Section 1102.07(2)(a) states “Where structures exist on the adjoining lots on both sides of a proposed building site, structure setbacks may be altered without a variance to conform to the adjoining setbacks from the ordinary high water level, provided the proposed building site is not located in a shore impact zone”; this standard does not apply to Lot 1 since the required 75 foot setback can be met. The 75 foot OHWL setback is also applicable to Lot 2. As discussed, the house is considered legal non-conforming. The house becomes more compliant with the OHWL setback requirement from the current 100 foot setback for unsewered lots to the 75 foot setback for sewered lots. The plans shall be revised to show a 75 foot “BLDSB” setback line from the OHWL on both Lot 1 and Lot 2. Building Requirements At the time of building permit, the single family house proposed on Lot 1 will be reviewed for compliance regarding floor area, garage and design and construction standards. Subdivision Ordinance The legal description of the subject site is Lot 1, Block 1, Lakes Addition No.5. It was platted in 1978. Per Section 1001.076(2) of the Subdivision Regulations, any subdivision that results in the creation of one or more sewered residential lots shall be platted in full compliance with preliminary plat and final plat requirements and therefore, it is not a minor subdivision. Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code 6 The preliminary plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for low density residential development and zoning code requirements for R-1X, Single Family Executive as discussed above. Blocks and Lots The preliminary plat contains Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 1, Stern Addition. As noted above, Lot 1 proposes a single family home and Lot 2 contains the existing house. Streets and Alleys Both lots are served by West Shadow Lake Road which is being reconstructed and municipal water and sanitary sewer is being installed. The existing road has 60 feet of right-of-way and the paved road surface is 26 feet wide with ribbon curb. Easements Standard drainage and utility easements at least 5 and 10 feet wide are provided along all lot lines. The wetland and stormwater basin shall be covered by an easement that includes a 10 foot buffer. Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Per Section 1011.011, stormwater management is required for all proposed land development activity if the site is within the 100-year floodplain or within 1,000 feet of a public water. Stern Addition is within the floodplain and shoreland district. Per the Site Drainage Narrative prepared by Plow Engineering, Inc. dated September 13, 2019, there are 3 existing areas of discharge from the site (one to the West to W. Shadow Drive, one to the inland wetland area, and one to the East to Reshanau Lake). Per WSB Engineering letter dated September 24, 2019, new impervious area from the site is routed to the west towards West Shadow Lake Drive, the north into an existing wetland area, and the east to Reshanau Lake. The new impervious surface is less than 10,000 square feet, and all runoff from new impervious will run over a pervious surface prior to leaving the site, therefore no water quality treatment will be required as a result of the additional impervious surface from the single-family residential development. A side yard drainage way is required between the existing and proposed home. As detailed below under Landscaping, a minimum 20 foot wide vegetated shoreline buffer shall be required as a stormwater management best management practice (BMP) to minimize runoff pollutants from entering the lake. Utilities Sanitary Sewer 7 A 3” sanitary sewer force main is being installed along West Shadow Lake Drive. The existing house shall hook up upon availability. The new house shall hook-up upon construction. The existing septic drain field shall be removed. Watermain An 8” DIP watermain is being installed along West Shadow Lake Drive. The existing house shall hook up upon availability. The new house shall hook-up upon construction. The existing well may be used for irrigation only or shall be properly capped and abandoned. Public Land Dedication The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication for the new lot. The lot with the existing house will not be charged a park dedication fee. Park Dedication Fees Total # of Lots = 1 x 2019 Park Dedication Fee $3,000 = Total Due $3,000 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. Sheet 4, Tree Inventory/Removals identifies 46 significant trees on the entire site and 8 of these trees will be removed. Of those 8 trees, 7 of the trees are within the basic use area of the house pad and driveway and mitigation is not required. The other 1 tree are being removed in order to construct the FEMA floodplain mitigation basin. The remaining 38 trees provide open space mitigation requirements, prevent erosion control and provide shoreland aesthetics. No further tree mitigation is required. Landscaping Canopy cover, foundation landscaping, and buffer and screens are not required for the 2 lot residential subdivision. Open Area Landscaping The proposed FEMA floodplain mitigation basin is approximately 600 sf. This would require 1 large tree and 3 large shrubs. The remaining 38 trees and existing shrubs on site satisfy the open area landscape requirements. No further landscaping is required. Boulevard Trees 8 Boulevard trees are required at the rate of 1 tree per lot frontage for singly family lots. This would require 2 boulevard trees. Both Lot 1 and Lot 2 contain existing trees in the front yard that serve as boulevard trees. No additional boulevard trees are required. Sod and Ground Cover All disturbed areas shall have appropriate ground cover in accordance with Section 1007.043(17)(h). This includes the existing driveway turn around being removed. Shoreline Buffer Zone Reshanau Lake is an impaired, recreational development lake and efforts to protect and improve the natural resource should be implemented with any development. A native vegetated shoreline buffer will be required as a stormwater management best management practice (BMP) to minimize runoff pollutants from entering the lake. The buffer will also help stabilize the shoreline, reduce erosion and support aquatic plants and wildlife. An average 20 foot wide but no less than 10 foot minimum wide native vegetated buffer zone extending from the shoreline shall be installed and maintained on both Lot 1 and Lot 2. A landscape plan detailing the buffer plantings and maintenance shall be submitted. Attached is a MNDNR Shoreline Alterations: Natural Buffers and Landscaping handout. Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) An Environmental Assessment Worksheet is not mandated. The two (2) unattached residential units are under the 250 unattached unit threshold required for a mandatory EAW. Wetlands A Wetland Delineation Report was completed by Jacobson Environmental, PLLC on August 2, 2019. A WCA Notice of Decision approving the wetland delineation was issued by RCWD on September 16, 2019. Three (3) basins were delineated. Basin 1 is 0.016 acres and Basin 2 is 0.024 acres. Both are located within the rear yard of Lot 1. Basin 3 is 0.008 acres and is adjacent to the Reshanau Lake shoreline on both Lot 1 and Lot 2. No wetland impacts are proposed. Per RCWD, Rule F is not triggered; therefore, no WMC wetland buffers are required. A drainage and utility easement 10 feet above the delineated wetland is required. Floodplain The 2015 DFIRM indicates Zone AE floodplain on both Lot 1 and Lot 2. The FEMA base flood elevation (BFE) is 887. Per Sheet 6, CLOMR-F Exhibit, the applicant is proposing 38 cy of floodplain fill and 39 cy of compensatory storage. The applicant shall obtain a CLOMR-F from FEMA to revise the floodplain map. It should be noted that any 9 future proposed structures such as accessory structures shall meet the floodplain ordinance requirements. Shoreland Management Overlay The general purpose and intent of the Shoreland Management Overlay ordinance is to protect public waters. Per the ordinance Policy statement, the uncontrolled use of shorelands of the city affects the public health, safety and general welfare not only by contributing to pollution of public waters, but also by impairing the local tax base. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare to provide for the wise subdivision, use and development of shorelands of public waters. As discussed, the site is located in a Shoreland Management Overlay district of Reshanau Lake. This lake is a classified as a Recreational Development Lake and has an 883.5 OHWL elevation. The required OHWL setback for both Lot 1 and Lot 2 is 75 feet for sewered lots. The proposed setback on Lot 1 is 87.6 feet and is compliant. The current setback from the existing house on Lot 2 is 73.5 feet. The house is considered legal non-conforming. Per Section 1102.87(1)(c)4, impervious surface coverage on each lot must not exceed 30%. Sheet 2, Preliminary Plat notes impervious surface coverage for Lot 1 = 18.0% and Lot 2 = 19.8%. Both meet the allowed 30% impervious surface coverage of the shoreland ordinance. A native vegetated shoreline buffer will be required as a stormwater management best management practice (BMP) to minimize runoff pollutants from entering the lake. Impervious Surface Coverage Per the Site Drainage Narrative prepared by Plow Engineering, Inc. dated September 13, 2019, the overall total site impervious surface coverage is as follows: Impervious Surface Coverage Total Parcel Size 0.98 acres Existing Impervious 0.16 acres (16%) Proposed Impervious 0.20 acres (21%) Comprehensive Plan Stern Addition is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan in regards to resource management, land use, housing, transportation and utilities. Resource Management System Plan 10 Goals of the Resource Management System Plan include: • Natural Resources and Amenities o Goal #1: Identify, protect and preserve the desirable natural areas and ecological and aquatic resources of the community. • 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 Stern Addition protects the natural resource by providing storm water management and vegetative buffers. Land Use Plan Goal 2: Ensure that zoning and subdivision ordinances and official maps are consistent with the intent and specific direction provided within the Comprehensive Plan. Policies: 1. Ensure developers meet the standards specified within the land-use plan and official controls, including zoning and subdivision ordinances and official maps. 2. Ensure compatibility of adjacent land uses. Stern Addition is compliant with the zoning and subdivision ordinances. It is also compatible with adjacent residential land uses. Housing Plan Goal 1: Ensure housing development is compatible with existing and adjacent land uses and provides accessibility to key community features and natural resources. Stern Addition meets the goals of the housing plan. The development is compatible with the existing and adjacent residential homes and the natural resource. Transportation Plan Goal 1: Plan for and achieve required street improvements and connectivity throughout the City of Lino Lakes. West Shadow Lake Drive is a reconstructed local street and has capacity to accommodate 1 new single family home. 11 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. Municipal sanitary sewer is being installed along West Shadow Lake Drive. The sanitary system has capacity to handle 2 single family homes. Funding of the sanitary sewer extension contemplated a higher allowable density of homes as is reflected in the rezoning of the properties to R-1X 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. Municipal watermain is being installed along West Shadow Lake Drive. The water supply system has capacity to handle 2 single family homes. Planning Districts The site is located in Planning District 1 and is guided for low density residential development. There are no specific planning recommendations for this site. The site is located within Reshanau Resource Management Unit (RMU). Environmental Board Comments The Environmental Board reviewed the proposed preliminary plat on September 25, 2019. They recommended approval of the project with conditions listed in the attached October 3, 2019 Memo from the Environmental Coordinator. MNDNR Comments The preliminary plat was emailed to the MNDNR on September 13, 2019 but comments have been received. Final Plat A land use application for final plat and Development Agreement shall be required. FINDINGS OF FACT Preliminary Plat Per Section 1001.013, Premature Subdivision: 12 (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. (a) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Including any of the following: 1. Land use plan; 2. Transportation plan; 3. Utility (sewer and water) plans; 4. Local water management plan; 5. Capital improvement plan; and 6. Growth management policies, including MUSA allocation criteria. Stern Addition is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan in regards to resource management, land use, housing, transportation and utilities as detailed in this staff report. 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: 1. The urban subdivision must be located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) or the staged growth area as established by the city's Comprehensive Plan; 2. The cost of utilities and street extensions must be covered by one or more of the following: a. An immediate assessment to the proposed subdivision; b. One hundred percent of the street and utility costs are privately financed by the developer; c.

No future utility costs are proposed. 13 (c) Roads or highways to serve the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall meet the following requirements for level of service (LOS), as defined by the Highway Capacity Manual: 1. If the existing level of service (LOS) outside of the proposed subdivision is A or B, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service more than one grade; 2. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is C, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below C; 3. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is D, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below D; 4. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections providing access to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F, the subdivision developer must provide, as part of the proposed project, improvements needed to ensure a level of service D or better; 5. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision must have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed subdivision or the developer will pay to correct any structural deficiencies; 6. The traffic generated from a proposed subdivision shall not require city street improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lakes capital improvement plan. However, the city may, at its discretion, consider developer-financed improvements to correct any street deficiencies; 7. The LOS requirements in divisions (2)(c)1. to 4. above do not apply to the I-35W/Lake Drive or I-35E/Main St. interchanges. At city discretion, interchange impacts must be evaluated in conjunction with Anoka County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and a plan must be prepared to determine improvements needed to resolve deficiencies. This plan must determine traffic generated by the subdivision project, how this traffic contributes to the total traffic, and the time frame of the improvements. The plan also must examine financing options, including project contribution and cost sharing among other jurisdictions and other properties that contribute to traffic at the interchange; and 8. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination. Stern Addition meets the requirements for level of service (LOS). West Shadow Lake Drive is a newly reconstructed local street and has capacity to accommodate 1 new single family home. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination. (d) Water supply. A proposed subdivision shall be deemed to have an adequate water supply when: 1. The city water system has adequate wells, storage or pipe capacity to serve the subdivision; 2. The water utility extension is consistent with the Lino Lakes water plan and offers the opportunity for water main looping to serve the urban subdivision; 3. The extension of water mains will provide adequate water pressure for personal use and fire protection; and 4. The rural subdivision can demonstrate that each of the proposed lots can be provided with a potable water supply. 14 Stern Addition will have an adequate water supply. In 2018, the City commenced the West Shadow Lake Drive Street and Utility Improvement Project to reconstruct the street and install municipal water and sanitary sewer. The subject site is served by an 8” DIP watermain. The water supply system has capacity to handle 1 single family home. (e) Waste disposal systems. A proposed subdivision shall be served with adequate waste disposal systems when: 1. The urban sewered subdivision is located inside the city's MUSA or is consistent with the MUSA allocation criteria; 2. The city has sufficient MUSA and pipe capacity to serve the subdivision if developed to its maximum density; 3. The subdivision will result in a sewer extension consistent with Lino Lakes sewer plan and capital improvement plan; 4. A rural subdivision can demonstrate that each lot can be served by an adequate sanitary sewer disposal system; and 5. A rural subdivision with a proposed communal sanitary sewer or water system has an effective long range management and maintenance program with proper financing. Stern Addition will be served with an adequate waste disposal system. In 2018, the City commenced the West Shadow Lake Drive Street and Utility Improvement Project to reconstruct the street and install municipal water and sanitary sewer. The subject site is served by a 3” sanitary sewer force main and has capacity to handle 1 single family home.

Rud & Sons, Inc., received on September 9, 2019. The following documents were reviewed: • Stern Addition Certificate of Survey, Preliminary Plat, Grading and Drainage, tree inventory/removalsUtility plan, CLOMR-F Exhibit dated September 12, 2019 • Site Drainage Narrative dated September 13, 2019 • Geotechnical Exploration Report prepared by ITCO Allied Engineering Company dated July 24, 2019. • Wetland Delineation Report prepared by Jacobson Environmental, PLLC dated August 2, 2019. Engineering • General The Stern Subdivision is located at 6820 West Shadow Lake Drive. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the property and keep the existing home on one of the lots. This subdivision is subsequent to the West Shadow Lake Drive reconstruction project and re-zoning to R1-X where municipal sewer and water were extended to serve the site. The property is located along Reshanau Lake and within the Shoreland Management District. The property has existing wetlands and floodplain. Reshanau Lake has an ordinary high water elevation of 883.7 and a base flood elevation of 887.0. Comments: 1. The City’s ordinance requires that a subdivision construction plan be prepared and signed by a civil engineer. • Site Grading To build on the proposed subdivided lot, the applicant is proposing to bring in fill. The fill is required to meet the low floor elevation above the floodplain. • Stormwater Management New impervious area from the site is routed to the west towards West Shadow Lake Drive, the north into an existing wetland area, and the east to Reshanau Lake. The new impervious surface is less than 10,000 square feet, and all runoff from new impervious will run over a pervious surface prior to leaving the site, therefore no water quality treatment will be required as a result of the additional impervious surface from the single-family residential development. Comments: 1. The applicant shall create a side yard drainage way between the existing and proposed home. 2. The applicant shall provide the amount of new impervious surface being created. Please confirm amount in the narrative. 3. Reshanau is an impaired, recreational development lake, and in an effort to improve and protect the natural resource, an average 20-foot wide but no less than 10-ft minimum wide native and vegetated buffer zone extending from the shoreline shall be installed and Ms. Katie Larsen 8/1/19 Page 2 S:\Community Development\Projects\Planning Cases\Stern Addition (6820 West Shadow Lake Drive)\Staff Reports\20191009 PZ (PP)\a3 Engineering Review -SternAddition.docx maintained on Lot 1 and 2. A landscape plan detailing the buffer plantings and maintenance shall be submitted. 4. Applicant shall submit restoration plan or include note regarding seeding of proposed basin/mitigation area. • Water Supply The existing home is served by a private well. The existing home shall be served by an existing 8” HDPE municipal water system located within the West Shadow Lake Drive right of way. The well may remain for irrigation purposes only, provided it meets setbacks. The existing home was provided a 1-inch copper water service stub for connection. The proposed home will be served by a 1-inch copper water service. • Sanitary Sewer The existing home is served by an Individual Septic Treatment System (ISTS). The ISTS shall be properly abandon. The existing home and proposed home shall be served by an existing low pressure 3” HDPE municipal sanitary sewer system located within the West Shadow Lake Drive right of way. The existing and proposed home are to be connected to the trunk sanitary sewer system with 1.25-inch PE sewer services. Each home will require individual grinder pumps be installed. • Transportation West Shadow Lake Drive is local residential street that can support the additional traffic of this subdivision. • Wetlands and Mitigation Plan The wetland review is being completed by the City’s Environmental Coordinator. RCWD has determined that it is not in a WMC. There are no proposed impacts to the wetlands as a part of this project. Adequate protection of the wetland is shown on the erosion control plan sheet and should be implemented prior to construction to ensure the wetland is not impacted. • Floodplain The applicant is proposing 38 cubic yards of floodplain fill and on site mitigation. For onsite floodplain mitigation the applicant is proposing a basin in the rear yard and a side yard swale (north lot line) of lot 1. Comments: 1. The applicant shall obtain a CLOMR – F from FEMA. 2. The floodplain exhibit shall be edited or a new version showing the BFE, fill area, and mitigation area. 3. The applicant shall provide earthwork calculations to clearly demonstrate that 38 cubic yards of compensatory floodplain storage is being created below the 887 floodplain elevation 4. A future deck should be shown on the plans and included in the floodplain mitigations. 5. Accessory structures will need to meet floodplain regulations and are currently not included as part of this mitigation plan. 6. The applicant shall verify FEMA floodplain setback requirements from structures. 7. The applicant shall submit the CLOMR-F application to the City for review and community acknowledgement. • Drainage and Utility Easements Standard drainage and utility easements apply and are not all currently shown. Comments: 1. The applicant shall show standard side yard drainage and utility easements. Ms. Katie Larsen 8/1/19 Page 3 S:\Community Development\Projects\Planning Cases\Stern Addition (6820 West Shadow Lake Drive)\Staff Reports\20191009 PZ (PP)\a3 Engineering Review -SternAddition.docx 2. The applicant shall include drainage and utility easement over the wetlands, buffer area, and floodplain mitigation area. • Development Agreement A development agreement will be required with the final plat. • Stormwater Maintenance Agreement This stormwater maintenance of this subdivision will be covered under the City’s Programmatic Maintenance Agreement. • Permits Required 1. City of Lino Lakes Zoning Permit for construction 2. Rice Creek Watershed Permit If you or the applicant have any questions regarding these comments, please contact Diane Hankee at (651) 982-2430 or dhankee@linolakes.us.  Page 1 Memo To: Katie Larsen From: Marty Asleson Date: October 3, 2019 Re: Environmental Board Recommendations for Stern Addition The following recommendations were made by the Lino Lakes Environmental Board on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 concerning the Stern Addition: 1. No soils are to be imported without approval from the City Engineer 2. It is suggested that the green space disconnect be planted with a low nitrogen, alternative lawn grass such as the alternative lawn fescues. 3. The DNR standards for shoreland should be applied, including minimizing vegetation loss, and a buffer from the lake that must average 20 feet. Landscaping in this area would exclude sod-type grasses that are mowed. The property owner should submit a planting plan for alternative ground cover in this area. This could consist of native forbes and grasses, or where there are existing trees, a shade tolerant woodland seed mix, alternative no-mow lawn. A garden area based on design of Rice Creek Watershed, or Conservation District models are also acceptable. 4. There should be some way to legally ensure the riparian buffer stays as a requirement for the property if the lots are sold. 5. There is a proposed 0.19 acres of land disturbance. An erosion control plan is required 6. One Boulevard tree should be planted on the new parcel 7. All trees to be preserved must be protected with fencing extended out to the driplines of the trees. Environmental Shoreline Alterations: Natural Buffers and Lakescaping What can I do to create a more natural shoreline? A natural shoreline is a complex ecosystem that sustains fish and wildlife and protects the entire lake. Native vegetation along the shore acts as a buffer zone, intercepting nutrients and reducing runoff, erosion, and sedimentation. Aquatic plants provide food and shelter for ducks, songbirds, and other animals while reducing problems caused by Canada geese and burrowing muskrats. Plants growing in and near the water are critical for wildlife and fish habitat and a healthy lakeshore. Tall plants like bulrush, lake sedge, and cattail can reduce the energy of wave action to minimize erosion and help main- tain water quality. Creation of a buffer zone is the essence of the lakescaping concept. A buffer zone is an unmowed strip of native vegetation that extends both lakeward and landward from the water’s edge. A buffer zone that extends 25-50 feet from shore is preferable, but even 10-15 feet provides benefits. Installing a buffer zone can restore many functions critical to the health of the lake that may have been eliminated previously by sod, hard structures, or mowing. Planting grasses and flowering plants that are native to your area will diversify and enhance your shoreline and provide a seasonal show of color. Creating and maintaining natural buffer zones along the shore does not mean your property has to look unkempt. Buffers and upland islands of trees, shrubs, and flowers can bring natural beauty to your yard. Additionally, tall native plants typically have deep root systems. They will slow erosion, decrease ice damage, increase rain infiltration, and act as a barrier to discourage geese from walking on your shoreline property. Your shoreline is part of a larger community and ecosystem. Individual choices by many have cumulative impacts on a lake and its ecosystem. Your actions can restore or degrade the quality of the ecosystem. Restoring your lakeshore to a more natural condition is important, even if your neighbors are not restoring theirs, because it can help wildlife habitat, water quality, and fish. A buffer zone of vegetation provides a natural appearance to your shoreline and protects wildlife habitat, water quality, and fish. Where can I find additional information? Book and Online Resources Lakescaping for Wildlife and Water Quality (C.L. Henderson, C.J. Dindorf, F.J. Rozumalski, 1999, Department of Natural Resources*) is a book showing techniques to prevent shoreline erosion and restore wildlife habitat, wildflowers, and clean water. Restore Your Shore (2002, Department of Natural Resources) is a sequel to the lakescaping book. This on-line tool presents ideas to use in protecting and restoring natural shorelands.

Native trees, shrubs, and grasses dissipate the energy of raindrops, slow the water, and allow it to infiltrate the soil. The DNR and your county soil and water conservation district can help you select the right plants for your project. Listed below are some other erosion-control recommendations. • Prevent erosion. Preventing erosion by maintaining native vegetation is less costly than fixing an eroded area. Think “root systems.” Native plants typically have greater rooting depth and root density. For example, the roots of the little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) are about 2-3 feet long and have a great capacity to hold soil. In contrast, the roots of lawn grass are only 2-3 inches long. • Identify and address the cause of erosion. Causes may include excessive foot traffic on fragile soils, vegetation clearing (both upland and in the lake), yard waste on the bank that kills vegetation, wave action from boat traffic and prevailing winds (especially when water is high), ice heaves, overland runoff down slopes, stairways that channel water, and runoff from impervious surfaces. • Choose erosion-control methods that are “light” on the land- scape. For example, use biodegradable erosion control materials that contain biodegradable netting, not photodegradable plastic netting which can trap wildlife. If wave action is eroding the bottom (toe) of the bank, consider reinforcing only the toe of the bank and planting native vegetation on the remainder. • Plant aquatic vegetation. In-lake vegetation can help prevent erosion. Native aquatic vegetation disperses wave energy, anchors soil, limits ice heaves, and provides excellent fish and wildlife habitat. Look around your lake and note how nature works to minimize erosion on healthy, more natural shorelines. What types of wild- flowers, grasses, trees, and shrubs do you see in your area? Then determine how much of your lakeshore to naturalize, keeping in mind how much you need for lake access, swimming areas, docks, and dock storage areas. Talk to your neighbors, share ideas, and coordinate efforts to increase habitat and natural shorelines. Natural shorelines are gaining acceptance as people understand the important role shorelines play in protecting their lake and a diverse ecosystem. Many lake associations are developing demon- stration projects on area lakes. Contrast the eroded shoreline lacking vegetation (foreground) with the well-vegetated, uneroded shoreline in the distance. The picture contrasts the shallow (2-3 inches) roots of Kentucky bluegrass to the deep (3-5 feet) and dense roots of native grasses. The root systems of native grasses may be effective for preventing erosion.Steve AdamsLakescaping Design Factors to Consider Steps for Creating a Buffer Zone Describe your shoreline area, including the following elements: • Natural features, including existing vegetation and woody debris, fish and wildlife use, and opportunities for links to neighboring habitat; • Removal of stuctures or construction debris, such as retaining walls or concrete, respectively; • Location of the house, views, trees, pathways or stairways, docks, and swimming areas; • Sun, including amount and number of hours of direct sunlight; • Topography, including ice ridges and slopes (facing directions and steepness); • Soil characteristics, including type, drainage, texture, and fertility; • Water, such as natural seeps, wet areas during high water, drainage, wave action, and runoff; and • Fetch (miles of open water/waves), prevailing winds and ice push. These elements will help determine what types of erosion control measures (biologs, brush bundles, erosion control fabric) might be needed in order to get vegetation established on the site.

How will the site be used (view- ing, swimming, boating, fishing)? What kinds of native trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses do you like? Consider their color, height, and appearances at different times of the year. The type of vegetation you select may affect the shoreline’s ability to withstand erosion. Develop a design and management plan based on your lakeshore and preferences. Consult references such as the Lakescaping for Wildlife and Water Quality book or the on-line program Restore Your Shore (see front page) for assistance on designing your restora- tion project. You can also look at the DNR Fisheries lake surveys for information. Visit nearby natural areas or other shorelines to get ideas. Obtain any necessary permits from your local unit of government or the DNR. Be realistic about the size of your shoreline project. Start small, if necessary, and add to it in phases. Identify the areas for planting native vegetation and prepare the site for planting. It may be necessary to control non-native, invasive species and turf grass first. Upland plants should be spaced from 1 foot to 3 feet apart; trees and shrubs should be 6 feet to 14 feet apart. If you decide to use an erosion- control blanket, the supplier can help you determine which type to use. After installing the blanket, simply cut a hole in it for each plant. As an alternative to the blanket, mulch could be used to control erosion, retain moisture, and suppress weeds. If you add aquatic plants, a temporary barrier in the water may be needed to protect new plants until they are established. For guidance on aquatic plantings, please refer to the Restore Your Shore on-line program or your local Soil and Water Conservation District. Your new plantings require some maintenance in the first few years as they become established. Provide from 1 inch to 2 inches of wa- ter per week the first season and during dry periods in the second season. Weeding during the first few years helps the plants become established and gives them an edge. Replace vegetation that did not survive by replanting species that were most successful at your site. By the third year, watering is no longer necessary, but you should continue to remove weeds. Maintenance (TOP) Lakefront of home on Lake Marion, Dakota County.

Page 3 of 4 Planting Shoreline Alterations: Natural Buffers and Landscaping May 2010/revised November 2012 Submergent and emergent plants provide underwater cover for fish, amphibians, birds, insects, and other organisms. These plants break wave action, which helps prevent erosion, and stabilize bottom sediments, which otherwise can be resuspended by currents and wave action. Plants growing on upland slopes and lake banks help keep the lake water clean by holding sediments in place against the eroding forces of water runoff and by absorbing excess nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen.Adapted by Jean Miller, DNR Shoreline Alterations: Natural Buffers and Lakescaping Permit Requirements For most projects constructed below the ordinary high-water level* (OHWL) of public waters as determined by the DNR, an individual Public Waters Work Permit is required, but an indi- vidual permit is not required for planting buffer zones. Collecting, transplanting, spraying, or removing aquatic vegetation below the OHWL, however, may require a permit from the DNR Fisher- ies Aquatic Plant Management (APM) Program. Please go to: mndnr. gov/shorelandmgmt/apg/regulations.html for more information on APM Permits. If you have questions concerning the contents of this infor- mation sheet, contact your local DNR Area Hydrologist. Other governmental units (federal, state, city, county, township, and watershed authority) may require a permit for that portion of the project within their jurisdiction, which usually involves work above the OHWL. It is advisable to contact them. photos by Bill Bartodziej(ABOVE) In 2000, start of restoration along Lake Phalen in St. Paul. (RIGHT) View of the same site in 2002. Summary Maintaining a healthy lake is far less costly than trying to fix a degraded one. If you are fortunate enough to have a natural shoreline, maintain or enhance it as a buffer zone and minimize erosion on the areas used for access or recreation. If your property lacks natural areas, plant native vegetation or let areas grow naturally. You will be surprised at the aesthetic appeal, as well as the energy and time you save, of helping your lake help itself.

The PUD Final Plan is consistent with the PUD Development Stage Plan in regards to the land use plan, street and utilities, parks and open space, lot standards and landscaping. The following housing types and products proposed for the 2nd Addition are consistent with the Land Use Plan. Housing Type Lot Width Housing Product # Units Single Family 65’-75’ Landmark & Discovery 37 Single Family 55’-60’ Lifestyle Villas 20 TOTAL 57 Architectural Standards Resolution No. 17-133 details required architectural design standards for the Watermark development. As required, a summary booklet titled Watermark 2nd Addition Home Plans was submitted as part of the 2nd Addition PUD Final Plan. In reviewing the one-story villa house plans, it was realized that Resolution No. 17-133 did not take into account the option for one- story villas with 3 stall garages. In August 2019, Lennar submitted a PUD Amendment #3- 4 Architectural Design Standards to allow for this type of housing product. The City Council is scheduled to approve or deny the request on October 14, 2019. If denied, Lennar will have to re-submit house plans for the one-story housing plans. The booklet includes an Architectural Standards Matrix detailing compliance of the Landmark & Discovery housing products with Resolution No. 17-133 in regards to exterior materials and styles, house elevations and garage and porch requirements. Per the matrix, there are 15 different single family house plans with a combination of over 60 different elevations and floor plans proposed for the 2nd Addition. Color packages and anti-monotony plans should be included in the Watermark 2nd Addition Product Booklet to ensure that the homes elevations are varied with a minimum of five different styles and those homes in proximity to each other not look alike in terms of the combination of color of siding, accent and roofing materials. Coventry by Alside vinyl siding with .042” panel thickness is proposed on all the housing units. One requirement of Resolution No. 17-133 and depicted on page 28 of the PUD Master Plan Booklet is the incorporation of an architectural feature into side and rear elevations that are visible from 20th Avenue (CSAH 54), 21st Avenue N. and the public park. The Watermark 2nd Addition Home Plans booklet should include a “High Visibility Structures” exhibit specific to the 2nd Addition final plat detailing specific lots and blocks that pertain to the requirement. These architectural features shall also be included on the building permit house plans. In summary, the Landmark and Discovery housing types and products meet the architectural design standards requirements of Resolution No. 17-133. The one-story, 3 stall garage house plans need Council approval or they need to be revised. Landscaping The Watermark 2nd Addition Site Landscape Plan is consistent with the PUD Development Stage Landscaping Plan. Subdivision Ordinance Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code The Watermark 2nd Addition final plat has been reviewed for compliance with the comprehensive plan, zoning and subdivision ordinance. The proposed final plat meets the performance standards of the subdivision and zoning ordinance and is consistent with the PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat and Final Plan. Plat Phases The following summarizes the number of lots platted per addition: 5 Addition # SF Lots Remaining #SF Lots # TH Lots Remaining #TH Lots Total # Lots Remaining 692 172 864 1 100 592 93 79 671 2 57 535 0 79 614 Blocks and Lots The final plat creates 57 single family lots and 4 outlots. The following chart summarizes the intended purpose of the outlots: Outlot Purpose A Stormwater Pond 400 & Trail B Future development C Future development D Future development Outlot A will be deeded, owned and maintained by the HOA. A copy of the recorded deed shall be submitted to the City. Outlots B, C and D are for future development and ownership will be retained by US Homes Corporation dba Lennar. Easements Standard drainage and utility easements are being dedicated on individual lots and outlots containing stormwater ponds. Street and Utilities The 2nd Addition proposes construction of the following streets which are consistent with the PUD Development Stage Plan: Street Name Right-of-Way Width Street Width (Back to Back) Crane Drive 60 feet 32 feet Forest Lane 60 feet 32 feet Emily Circle 60 feet 32 feet Eden Circle 60 feet 28 feet 6 Diamond Lane 60 feet 28 feet Sheets 13 of the Watermark 2nd Addition Sanitary Sewer, Watermain, Storm Sewer and Street Construction Plans include “Road will be Extended in the Future” signs and locations. Watermain, sanitary sewer main, stormwater facilities, sidewalks and trails are being constructed consistent with the PUD Development Stage Plan. Sidewalk is being installed along both sides of Crane Drive, the south side of Forest Lane and on the west side of Diamond Lane. An 8.5 foot wide bituminous trail is being constructed north of Emily Circle along Outlot A. Public Land Dedication and Fees As approved with Resolution No. 16-51, the City will require the following combination of land dedication and cash is lieu of land dedications: 1. Land dedication for the public and private parks will be credited from the total payment in lieu. 2. Costs for public park improvements and trail construction will be credited from the total payment in lieu. 3. Improvements to the private parks and recreational center will not be credited from the total payment in lieu. An 8.5 foot wide bituminous trail is being constructed north of Emily Circle within Outlot A. A Permanent Trail Easement with Description Sketch shall be drafted and recorded. The following is a preliminary summary of the land dedication and fees: Watermark 2nd Addition Total # Units = 57 x Park Dedication Fee $3,000 = Cash in Lieu Value $171,000 - Land dedication value $0 - Trail Construction Costs ($3,900) TOTAL CASH FEE DUE = $167,100 The applicant shall provide a construction timeline for the trail along CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) and for the tot lot in the townhome neighborhood. Wetlands Wetland delineations were approved by RCWD and USACE in 2015. The delineation identified 28 wetlands totaling approximately 20 acres in size. The original approved WCA Sequencing 7 Application proposed wetland impacts, wetland creation, wetland restoration and upland buffer establishment. In April 2018, the developer revised the application to purchase 3.3671 acres of wetland banking credits as the proposed compensatory mitigation action. The wetland fill, impacts and mitigation (wetland bank credits) occurred within the Phase I grading limits and are complete. The establishment of the greenway corridor including wetlands, trails and open space on the north end of the Watermark development is a critical component of the project and will be developed in future phases. The Master Development Agreement details the timing, establishment and management of that corridor. An Open Space Easement has been dedicated over outlots containing wetlands, open space, stormwater ponds, berms etc. The Watermark 2nd Addition Final Landscape Plan details the location of required “Protected Open Space Area” signs. A Conservation Easement and Declaration establishing wetland buffer (both favor of RCWD) have been recorded over Wetland 17 as required by RCWD. When the lots abutting this buffer are graded in the future, these signs will be located along the rear lots lines. Development Agreement Master Development Agreement A Master Development Agreement was recorded in March 2019. The Agreement covers the entire 372 acre site and details the terms and conditions of City approvals, the Development Plans, the required public and private improvements as part of the first and subsequent phase, the standards for the timing and financing of the improvements, required HOA documents and the terms of payment. Development Agreement and Planned Unit Development Agreement The City will also require our standard Development Agreement specific to each phase of development. This agreement further details required improvements and securities. The City Engineer will draft this Agreement and it shall be approved by the City Council. Homeowner’s Association Lennar submitted draft Watermark Villas Declaration of Covenants and an example Annexation Amendment to the Neighborhood Declaration of Covenants. The City Attorney shall review and comment prior to Council approval. Title Commitment The City Attorney has reviewed the title commitment and final plat and recommends the title work be updated to the date of the plat recording because the date of the title work is July 25, 2019. 8 Stormwater Maintenance Agreement Under the City and RCWD Programmatic Stormwater Management Facility Maintenance Agreement, the City will be responsible for maintenance of theses public facilities.

NO MOW SEED FORMULAFROM SPECIALTY TURF & AG INC, FREEDOM MIX, AT 200LB/ACRE ORAPPROVED EQUAL. - WWW.SPECIALTYTURFAG.COM - 188-685-4521A.Maintaining Native Grass Areas :1. The native grass areas will require regular management to become established and dominated bynative, non-invasive vegetation. This is critical in the first two to three years and should berecognized as a component to the success of native grass areas. Management will include botheliminating non-native and invasive vegetation along with creating ideal conditions for nativeplants to flourish.2. Some invasive plants are strong competitors and without management, could hamper establishmentthe native planting. Invasive wetland species such as purple loosestrife, reed canary grass, andcattail exist in many urban wetlands, and may contribute seed to the created areas.3. Non-native plant removal/management and careful monitoring is vital during the early stages ofdevelopment. As native plants slowly grow and spread over the years, and as thatch builds, the sitewill become less vulnerable to non-native and invasive species. Without non-native and invasiveplant removal/management it is highly unlikely that a diverse native plant community will becomeestablished.4. Methods:a. Mowing/Weed Whipping1) During the first two years of plant establishment mowing/weed whipping at a height of 6to 10 inches where feasible, during the growing season, will reduce competition fromannual weeds. Mowing/weed whipping events should occur twice a year mid-July andagain in early September) prior to the seed head development of reed canary grass.Mowing/weed whipping allows light to reach the small native seedlings and reducescompetition from weeds for water and soil nutrients.b. Spot application of herbicide1) Individual invasive plants (including cattail) can be eradicated through wick applicationor spraying of herbicide. Rodeo or other Minnesota Department of Natural Resourcesapproved herbicides for use near /in water bodies should be applied by a licensedapplicator at the appropriate times to control individual plants.c. Eradicate large infestations with herbicide1) The most effective method of eradicating large colonies of plants is to wick-apply orspray them with herbicide. Use Rodeo when spray may come in contact with water andRoundup in upland situations. Repeated application will probably be necessary. Applyto green, actively growing foliage. Herbicides can effectively control herbaceousnon-native vegetation when applied in spring or fall. Take great care not to applyherbicide to surrounding native plants. A very small amount of herbicide can kill a plant.5. Schedule:a. Year 1: After planting, annual weeds should be mowed/weed whipped (before seed set)where feasible, to a height of six to ten inches or removed as needed. The site will likelyrequire one to two mowing/weed whip events (mid-July and again in early September). Spotherbicide application, or hand removal, of aggressive weeds such as; purple loosestrife, reedcanary grass, and cattails should also occur when the management crew is at the site tomow/weed whip. Also, at the beginning of the maintenance period any shrubs in the nativegrass areas should be sprayed with an appropriate herbicide.1)July (middle) - Mow/weed whip wetland (where feasible) at a height of six to ten inches.2) September (early)- Mow/weed whip wetland at a height of six to ten inches, spot sprayinvasive species.b. Year 2: Conduct an initial site visit in May to evaluate status of restoration and determinemanagement tasks for the year. These will likely include:1) May - Spot spray invasive species. Mow/weed whip wetland at a height of six to teninches (mowing may not be needed or possible depending on wetness and condition).Re-seed areas that do not meet the performance standards stated below.2) September - Spot spray invasive species.c. Year 3 (Contract may be fulfilled with this time) Conduct an initial site visit in May with toevaluate status of restoration and determine management tasks for the year. These will likelyinclude:a) May - Spot spray invasive species. Re-seed areas that do not meet the performancestandards stated below.b) June/July - Spot spray invasive species.c) September - Spot spray invasive species.d. Year 4 and beyond: Inspect wetland annually to assess its condition.1) May-September - Apply herbicide to invasive species. This should be required onlyonce per year.6. Maintenance Responsibilitya. The applicant is responsible for completing the items of the Maintenance Plan andPerformance Standards. Monitoring of the wetland mitigation areas will be completed by theapplicant for a period of three years or until the mitigation basins exhibit wetlandcharacteristics as proposed in the Wetland Permit Application. If the presence of an invasive,non-native plant species is observed during the annual monitoring event, the applicant isresponsible for immediate removal of the invasive, non-native plant species following theprocedures outlined in this plan.b. Mow the “No Mow” grass to a height of 4” twice a year. The first mowing will be in earlyJune, the second shall be in early October.c. Fertilize “No Mow” in the fall.A. Native seed around site shall conform to Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resource with the use ofmix number u6 at 20lbs per acre and W3 at 15lbs per acre.1. Seeded areas shall incorporate a no mow seed mix to aid in the establishment of the BWSR mixes.

Staff would like to have a discussion with the Board as to whether additional regulations for such facilities should be included in the zoning ordinance. ANALYSIS Mini self-storage facilities are only allowed in the City’s industrial zoning districts with a conditional use permit. The following conditions apply: 1. No single building shall be greater than one hundred fifty (150) feet in length. 2. If an “on-premises” caretaker dwelling unit is provided on site, construction of said dwelling unit shall conform to all design standard regulations for multiple family dwelling units of the Minnesota State Building Code. 8-5 3. No retailing, wholesaling, manufacturing, repair, or other such activity other than storage is to occur within the mini self-storage facility. There are no regulations regarding the number or types of buildings allowed on site. If you recall, in September 2018, the Planning & Zoning Board reviewed a conditional use permit application for Lino Lakes Storage located at 440 Park Court. Phase I approved 13 separate mini self-storage buildings. Phase II has the potential for possibly 5 more buildings. Below is the building elevation plan sheet. S:\Community Development\Reference Materials\Mini-Storage Units\Staff Reports\20191009 PZ Indoor, climate controlled self-storage facilities that are housed in one building are becoming more popular in the metro area. Below are some examples. S:\Community Development\Reference Materials\Mini-Storage Units\Staff Reports\20191009 PZ REQUESTED BOARD DIRECTION Staff is seeking Board input as to whether the City should research additional regulations regarding mini self-storage facilities (separate buildings) vs. indoor, climate controlled facilities.
