Review Regular Council Agenda of June 24, 2019 – 15
16
Items on the agenda were reviewed. 17
18
Item 1D - Mayor Reinert suggested that the permit to sell liquor (beer) at this year’s City 19
Corn Roast be added back to the Consent Agenda for approval. The council discussed 20
the possibility of delaying a vote on the matter. Mayor Reinert remarked that a delay 21
might mean the vendor can’t get everything in place in time for the event. The council 22
concurred to consider the matter at the council meeting. 23
24
Item 1E – Peddler License for Clearway Community Solar – Council Member Stoesz had 25
contacted staff with a question about the City’s code requirement related to business 26
reputation. Specifically, the code indicates that a business should not have more than 27
three complaints with the Better Business Bureau and he believes there are more on this 28
company. 29
30
City Clerk Bartell explained the difficulty of checking a business reputation with the tools 31
referenced in the Code (Better Business Bureau and State Attorney General’s Office). 32
Those don’t appear to be a good source for definitive information. Clerk Bartell asked 33
staff if the council would like staff to look at changing the language in the code or 34
removing it. Mayor Reinert indicated that he would prefer to continue business 35
reputation consideration as part of the code. There was some discussion about the type of 36
business/product of the applicant. 37
38
Council Member Manthey said he’s okay with this license based on the applicant passing 39
the background check but he’s interested in the process for these licenses and how the 40
City can show the residents what is done for safety. 41
42
Council Member Stoesz expressed concern that the City must have some standards for 43
looking at a business reputation. Staff should look at what other cities are doing. 44
45
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION June 24, 2019

2
Staff should take a deeper dive on this company and look at what other cities are doing. 46
47
Item 6A – Community Development Director Grochala explained the need to amend the 48
City’s agreement with Anoka County to receive and administer U.S. Department of 49
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds. Both amendments proposed are minor. 50
51
Item 6B – City Engineer Hankee explained that the easement dedication is no longer 52
needed with the final plat. 53
54
Item 6D – City Engineer Hankee recalled a previous discussion about replacement of 55
some gate valves. Part of the discussion was to move forward minimizing the amount of 56
vibration from road work equipment. The past weekend, however, there were a couple of 57
service breaks with no work going on. Staff is still recommending approval of the 58
Change Order that will provide some replacement of valves but also to do more 59
exploration on the matter. 60

The meeting was adjourned at 6:27 p.m. 62

16
Community Development Director Grochala noted that the council has previously 17
discussed the figures involved in this tax increment financing proposal and he noted 18
where that discussion left off. Staff was directed to look at shortening the period of the 19
tax increment. He noted that Ms. Huot would walk through the proposed framework of 20
the plan and Ms. Eddington would review proposed contract details. 21
22
Ms. Huot reviewed a PowerPoint including information on: 23
- Financial Assistance requested for certain elements of the development (senior 24
care building and detached townhomes); 25
- Proposed Assistance (initial request has been reduced by 1.4 million and fee credit 26
of $300,000 – net assistance $3.6 million - over 8.5 year period); 27
- Reduction of assistance based on developer need, fee credit through city policy, 28
expanded boundaries, use of pooled tax increment funds; 29
- Ways to reduce terms of assistance further (increased taxable value, inflation, 30
construction savings, additional fee credits); 31
- Draft tax increment financing plan (highlighted public purpose, qualification, 32
term); 33
34
Ms. Huot and Ms. Eddington responded to Council Member Maher’s question about how 35
areas are included and excluded. It is based on project elements and to be certain that 36

Council Member Stoesz asked about the timing for certifying the base value and Ms. 45
Huot explained that the value will be based on a date and assessed value. 46
47
Mayor Reinert commented that the amount of tax increment has been reduced from an 48
original proposal of $10.5 million; adding the townhomes made a reduction possible. He 49
noted concern about the valuation placed on elements besides the townhomes; that seems 50
low and future increases in value will not be recognized. Ms. Huot said the final amount 51
of that valuation is not clear yet and if the valuation is higher, that would provide for 52
additional reduction in tax increment. The mayor remarked that the calendar looks 53
accurate as far as what can be done. He asked if there will be another valuation from the 54
county before the City commits on the plan. Ms. Huot said that the goal is to have the 55
best estimate prior to the public hearing. Mayor Reinert also mentioned the council’s 56
request for some type of audit on construction costs. 57
58
Julie Eddington reviewed the contract for private development. She explained the uses 59
of the skilled care building and the percentages of use that are allowed. She also 60
explained how reductions in tax increment could be accomplished under the contract 61
language, including through reduced construction costs or sale of parcels sold at a certain 62
profit level. Basically all of the things that the city wants is included in the contract. The 63
contract is still under review by the developer and they may have some minor comments. 64
She added, regarding construction costs, that the City can hire a review of costs to make 65
sure they are in line with industry standards or add language to the contract for reviews 66
during construction. 67
68
Mayor Reinert asked, what if the permits for the skilled nursing aren’t approved and that 69
doesn’t proceed. Ms. Huot explained that the estimated value (cost) will still be 70
reviewed. 71
72
Mayor Reinert expressed support for the project occurring in the City. But he wants due 73
diligence on the plan. His goal for the tax increment plan has been six years but he isn’t 74
sure that’s possible. 75
76
Council Member Stoesz remarked that the contract contains the term “unavoidable 77
delays” at least fifteen times. Does staff see that as a possibility? Ms. Eddington said 78
she has never seen that happen; there are other delays that could be expected. 79
80
Council Member Stoesz remarked that notifying the public on this matter is a challenge 81
because it’s so complex. How can the City inform residents in a way that is 82
understandable? Ms. Huot said the official notice includes language directing people to 83
contact staff with questions. Mayor Reinert asked staff to put together some bullet points 84
that explain clearly the benefits to the city. 85

Waldoch Farm, Inc.
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
City Code Chapter 615 are the City’s regulations regarding special events. The purpose of these
regulations is to protect the health, safety and welfare of citizens by regulating time, place and
manner of conduct by establishing permit requirements. The City charges a fee of $50 for
special event permits.
BACKGROUND
The City has received an application from Waldoch Farm, Inc., to hold a special event on their
property July 27th and 28th as well as August 3rd and 4th. This is the first annual event.
Vanelli’s by the Lake will be on site during this event to offer for sale limited food items as well
as wine and beer. Vanelli’s holds a state caterer’s license and is therefore allowed for this type
of service.
The Public Safety Department has reviewed the application and has signed off on the permit.
RECOMMENDATION
Waldoch Farm, Inc.’s application for a special event permit meets the requirements of the city
code and has not been found to present any safety concerns. Therefore, staff recommends that
the council approve Resolution No. 19-87, Authorizing issuance of a Special Event Permit.

MEETING DATE: July 8, 2019
TOPIC: CenturyLink Settlement Agreement
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is being asked to consider Resolution No. 19-83, approving a settlement
agreement with CenturyLink.
BACKGROUND
For more than a year now, CenturyLink has stopped actively selling, marketing, and investing
in its cable service product. As a result, there has been a significant decrease in the number of
cable subscribers over this time, which violates their franchise agreement.
CenturyLink announced its intent to exit the cable business. Since it is CenturyLink’s intent to
stop providing cable service altogether, it made sense to work with CenturyLink on an orderly
transition and allow them to terminate the franchise agreement rather than engage in a franchise
compliance process.
Attached is a detailed memo that NMTV Executive Director Heidi Arnson provided to the
Operations Committee on May 17, 2019.

Approval of Resolution No. 19-83.

STAFF ORIGINATOR: Katie Larsen, City Planner
MEETING DATE: July 8, 2019
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 19-75 Denying a Variance for
Curb Cut/Driveway Width for 6626 Enid Trail
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council to consider Resolution No. 19-75 denying a variance for curb
cut/driveway width for 6626 Enid Trail.
Complete Application Date: May 10, 2019
60-Day Review Deadline: July 7, 2019
120-Day Review Deadline: September 5, 2019
Environmental Board Meeting: NA
Park Board Meeting: NA
Planning & Zoning Board Meeting: June 12, 2019
Tentative City Council Work Session: July 1, 2019
Tentative City Council Meeting: July 8, 2019
BACKGROUND
The property owner of 6626 Enid Trail, Adam Neeck, submitted a Land Use Application for a
curb cut/driveway width variance. He is requesting a 34 foot curb cut/driveway width be
allowed. City ordinance allows for a maximum 26 foot curb cut/driveway width.
ANALYSIS
Sharper Homes was issued a building permit in May 2018 to construct a new home at 6626
Enid Trail in the St. Claire Estates subdivision. The certificate of survey submitted with the
building permit indicated a proposed curb cut/driveway width at the right-of-way line of 25.5
feet (Attachment #3).
The Grading As-built survey dated November 1, 2018 indicated the constructed curb
cut/driveway width at 34 foot (Attachment #4). This was also field verified by the City
Engineer’s department. The driveway is 8 feet wider than allowed.
2
Per the applicant’s narrative, the closing date to purchase the home was on November 15, 2018
and it was too late in the year to have the driveway replaced (Attachment #2). A temporary
certificate of occupancy was issued on November 13, 2018 and a $1,000 escrow was collected
from the property owner until the driveway issue is resolved.
The parcel is a 16,139 sf corner lot on a platted cul de sac. The paved road and curb are
approximately 60 feet from the lot line (aka right-of-way line). The existing driveway is 34 feet
wide at the property line and tapers to 20 feet at the curb. The ordinance allows for a 26 foot
wide driveway from the property line to the curb. The applicant states in their narrative several
reasons why it is hard to comply with the ordinance due to the distance from the curb to the
property line. Staff will note that platted cul duc sacs and 4 stall garages are not unique
(Attachment #6). The distance from the curb to the property line is not relevant and the
Certificate of Survey submitted with the building permit showed that a compliant driveway is
possible. A 26 foot wide driveway from the curb to the property line is feasible and would be
compliant.
The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and is located in an urban residential
subdivision. The City Engineer does not approve widening of the curb cut. The property
owners would be required to cut out an 8 foot wide section of the driveway. They are
requesting a variance instead of having to cut out a section of the driveway.
Zoning Ordinance
Per Section 1007.044(3)(h):
7. Curb Cut/Driveway Width. No curb cut shall exceed twenty-six (26) feet in width
within a residential zoning district, or thirty-six (36) feet in width if the property is in a
commercial, industrial, or public/semi-public zoning district, as measured at the street right-of-
way line unless approved by the City Engineer. The driveway associated with such curb cut
may increase in width at an angle not greater than forty-five (45) degrees.
At the March 5, 2018 Council Work Session, staff presented a report regarding driveway
widths. The staff report detailed that driveway width restrictions are fairly common and serve a
number of purposes. These include:
• Maintain front yard green space and enhance the streetscape.
• Preserve areas for on-street parking.
• Minimize impact and maintenance costs to public right-of-way and utility corridors.
• Preserve street snow storage.
• Minimize conflicts with vehicle, pedestrian and bicycles using street.
• Minimize impervious surfaces.
The Council concurred that the current regulations are fine and the ordinance was not amended
to allow for wider driveways.
Attachment #5 is a Driveway Exhibit depicting a 26 foot wide curb cut and 45 degree angle.
Findings of Fact

Resolution No. 19-75 details the findings of fact.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommended denial of the variance.
The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed the variance application on June 12, 2019 and
recommended denial with a 6-0 vote.
Resolution No. 19-75 denies the variance to allow for a 34 foot wide curb cut/driveway width
at 6626 Enid Trail.

CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 19-75
RESOLUTION DENYING A VARIANCE FOR
CURB CUT/DRIVEWAY WIDTH FOR 6626 ENID TRAIL
WHEREAS, the City received a land use application for a variance for curb
cut/driveway width for 6626 Enid Trail; and
WHEREAS, the legal description of the property is Lot 9, Block 2, St Clair Estates,
Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, the property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential for an urban
residential subdivision and allows for driveways in residential zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, Section 1007.044(3)(h)7 states no curb cut shall exceed 26 feet in width
within a residential zoning district as measured at the street right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the house builder constructed the curb cut/driveway to 34 feet wide as
measured at the street right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the Planning & Zoning Board reviewed the variance application on June
12, 2019 and recommended denial with a 6-0 vote.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The City Council of The City of Lino
Lakes hereby makes the following:
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 ordinance is to alleviate or prevent congestion of
the public right-of-way and to promote the safety and general welfare of the public, by
establishing minimum requirements for off-street parking of motor vehicles upon various
parcels of land or structures. The variance to allow for a 34 foot curb cut/ driveway
width is not harmonious with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance.
2. The variance shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Per the Comprehensive Plan, the property is guided for Low Density Residential land
use. The variance request is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The applicant’s
property is intended for single family dwellings with houses, garages and driveways.
2
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
for solar energy systems.
The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner; however, there
is no practical difficulty in complying with the required 26 foot curb cut/driveway width.
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 was created by the home builder installing a 34 foot wide
driveway. There are no unique circumstances to the property causing them to not be able
to comply with the ordinance.
5. The variance shall not alter the essential character of the locality.
The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality which is a single family
residential neighborhood with houses, garages and driveways.
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.
The variance will not be granted for any use that is not allowed under the ordinance for
property in the zoning district. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential for
a residential subdivision and driveways are consistent with residential uses.
7. In accordance with MN Stat. 462.357, Subp. 6, variances shall be granted for earth
sheltered construction as defined in MN Stat. 216C.06, Subd. 14, when in harmony with
the zoning ordinance.
Not applicable.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes hereby
denies a variance to allow for a 34 foot wide curb cut/driveway width for 6626 Enid
Trail.
Adopted by the Council of the City of Lino Lakes this 8th day of July, 2019.

TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 19-76 Denying a Variance for
Impervious Surface Coverage for 6650 Enid Trail
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council to consider Resolution No. 19-76 denying a variance for
impervious surface coverage for 6650 Enid Trail.
Complete Application Date: May 7, 2019
60-Day Review Deadline: July 6, 2019
120-Day Review Deadline: September 4, 2019
Environmental Board Meeting: NA
Park Board Meeting: NA
Planning & Zoning Board Meeting: June 12, 2019
City Council Work Session: July 1, 2019
City Council Meeting: July 8, 2019
BACKGROUND
The property owner of 6650 Enid Trail, Sharper Homes, submitted a Land Use Application for
an impervious surface coverage variance. They are requesting an impervious surface coverage
of 43.7% be allowed. The City’s Shoreland Management Overlay ordinance allows for a
maximum impervious surface coverage of 30%.
ANALYSIS
Existing Lot and Proposed House Plans
Sharper Homes submitted a building permit application in April 2019 to construct a new 5,030
sf home (2,512 sf basement + 2,518 sf main floor) at 6650 Enid Trail in the St. Clair Estates
subdivision (Attachment #8). The legal description of the parcel is Lot 3, Block 2, St. Clair
Estates. The subdivision is a standard R-1, Single Family Residential zoned subdivision platted
in 2017. All lots meet the required 80 foot lot width, 135 foot lot depth and minimum 10,800
square foot lot size. The approved grading plan for this lot includes a 65 foot wide x 55 foot
2
deep house pad with the garage/driveway on the south. The proposed house plan is 64 feet
wide x 75 feet deep (this includes a 3 stall garage). The garage/driveway was also flipped to
the north side creating more impervious surface.
The certificate of survey submitted with the building permit indicated an impervious surface
coverage of 43.7% (Attachment #7). Per the survey:
Total Lot Area = 10,819 sf
House, Porch & Future Shed Area = 3,756 sf
Driveway Area to ROW Line = 862 sf
Sidewalk Area = 107 sf
Total Impervious = 4,725 sf
Total Impervious Coverage = 43.7%
As defined by both State Statue and City Ordinance, shoreland is land located within 1,000 feet
from the ordinary high water level of a lake. The subject site, 6650 Enid Trail, is located within
1,000 feet of Rice Lake and is in the Shoreland Management Overlay district (Attachment #2).
The maximum allowed impervious surface is 30%.
Shoreland Management
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) is the state agency that
administers Minnesota Administrative Rule, Chapter 6120, Shoreland and Floodplain
Management. MNDNR drafted a model Shoreland Management Ordinance that was adopted in
1995 by the City as required by State Statute 103F.201 to 103F.221. The City ordinance is
Chapter 1102: Shoreland Management Overlay and the City is responsible for administration of
the ordinance. The City and MNDNR work together in reviewing shoreland land use
applications such as variances.
Per the City’s Shoreland Management Overlay ordinance:
Section 1102.01Statutory Authorization and Policy:
(1) Statutory authorization. Local government units are required to adopt shoreland
management ordinances in M.S. §§ 103F.201 to 103F.221, as it may be amended from time to
time. This Shoreland Overlay District chapter is adopted pursuant to these authorizations and
policies and the planning and zoning enabling legislation in M.S. Ch. 462, as it may be
amended from time to time.
(2) Policies. 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. The Legislature of Minnesota has delegated responsibility to local governments of the
state to regulate the subdivision, use and development of shorelands of public waters and thus
preserve and enhance the quality of surface waters, conserve the economic and natural
environmental values of shorelands, and provide for the wise use of waters and related land
3
resources. The responsibility for the management of shoreland areas is hereby recognized by
the city.
Section 1102.03 Definitions. SHORELAND. Land located within 1,000 feet from the ordinary
high water level of the lakes and land located within 300 feet from the streams classified in
§ 1102.05 or the landward extent of a flood plain designated by ordinance on a river or stream,
whichever is greater. The limits of shorelands may be reduced whenever the waters involved
are bounded by topographic divides which extend landward from the waters for lesser distances
and when approved by the Commissioner.
Section 1102.07(1)(c)4. Impervious surface coverage of lots must not exceed the following
percentages of lot area:
NE RD GD R
Single-family 30% 30% 30% 30%
Two-family/duplex 30% 30% 30% 30%
Triplex/quad/townhomes 35% 35% 35% 35%
Commercial/industrial 60% 60% 60% 60%
The subject site, 6650 Enid Trail, is a single-family lot located within the shoreland overlay of
Rice Lake which is classified as a Natural Environment (NE) lake. Therefore, the maximum
allowed impervious surface is 30%. It should be noted that even if this lot were not in the
shoreland overlay district, the standard R-1 allowed impervious surface coverage is only 40%.
The proposed house plan with 43.7% impervious would not meet either of these minimum
requirements.
As explained in the MNDNR Shoreland & Floodplain Variance Guidance handout (Attachment
#6), in the protection of water quality, the management of rainwater on individual lots is one of
our most important tasks. As impervious surface coverage increases, the rate and amount of
runoff and pollutants entering the public waters increases. The handout also details
“Considerations for Findings”, “Range of Outcomes” and “Conditions on Variances”.
Applicant’s Narrative
See Attachment #3 for the Applicant’s Narrative. The following summarizes the applicant’s
variance arguments followed by City’s response in italics.
1. The lot is irregular with an atypically long driveway.
The lot is a standard 80’ wide x 135’ deep R-1 lot. The applicant chose to “flip” the house and
relocate the driveway to the north causing it to be longer and larger.
2. The applicant proposes a rain garden/infiltration basin in the rear yard, gutter and
downspouts and side yard swale.
Reasonable conditions such as rain gardens, porous pavers or downspouts could be required
only if all variance criteria are met. As detailed below, these variance criteria are not met.
4
3. A paver driveway and sidewalk could reduce the total impervious coverage but the
upfront costs make this option the expensive partial solution.
As discussed above, these could be reasonable conditions to require only if findings support
granting the variance. Staff has the same concerns regarding annual maintenance and costs for
any proposed mitigation such as rain gardens, infiltration basin and/or pavers.
4. The Client’s ability to make different choices is limited with regard to floor plan and lot
choice due to limited lot selection and health issues.
The client prefers this rambler house plan; however, this is not a unique circumstance. The
MNDNR handout clearly states unique circumstances do not include physical limitations or
personal circumstances created by the property owner such as size of home or design
preferences.
5. The Applicant’s ability to market this lot is reduced by nearly half due to lot selection,
Sharper’s PlanBook and private covenants.
The Applicant noted the proposed house is a custom built rambler; therefore, a custom built
rambler or two (2) story dwelling that meets requirements can be designed. The City is not
obligated to approve house plans in order to meet private development covenants.
Engineering Comments
The City Engineer reviewed the revised grading exhibit that was submitted with the variance
application (Attachment #4). The revised grading exhibit provided shows a proposed swale
along the southerly property line directing water towards the rear lot line, discharging into a
small infiltration basin/rain garden located in the northeast corner of the lot. The City Engineer
does not recommend the practice of stormwater management for individual lots within a
subdivision to accommodate non-compliant site construction for the following reasons:
a. Overall functionality and longevity of the storm sewer system (BMP) in question.
b. Tracking of potential BMP modification by current or future homeowner an issue.
c. Need for private stormwater maintenance agreement recorded against the property in
perpetuity.
d. Need for additional drainage and utility easements.
e. Who is responsible for maintenance?
f. Are sureties secured for potential maintenance costs?
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) Comments
MNDNR reviewed the variance application and recommends denial due to lack of unique
circumstances, not in harmony with intent of ordinance and no practical difficulty (Attachment
#5). As noted in their letter and handout and consistent with City ordinance, all variance criteria
must be satisfied to approve a variance. Not all criteria are met; therefore, the variance should
be denied.

Findings of Fact
Resolution No. 19-76 details the variance findings of fact.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommended denial of the variance.
The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed the variance application on June 12, 2019 and
recommended denial with a 6-0 vote.
Resolution No. 19-76 denies the variance to allow for 43.7% impervious surface coverage at
6650 Enid Trail.

Date: June 3, 2019
Re: 6650 Enid Trail – Lot Impervious Variance
As requested by City Staff, WSB and Associates, Inc. has reviewed the grading revisions for
6650 Enid Trail (Lot 3, Block 2, St. Clair Estates) prepared by Sharper Homes and received
on May 7, 2019. The following documents were reviewed:
• Project Narrative
• Exhibit A - Grading Concept Sketch with Infiltration/Rain Garden Area
• Declaration of Building Covenants for St. Clair Estates
Project Background
The property owner of 6650 Enid Trail, Sharper Homes, submitted a Land Use Application for an
impervious surface coverage variance. They are requesting an impervious surface coverage of
43.7% be allowed. The City’s Shoreland Management Overlay ordinance allows for a maximum
impervious surface coverage of 30%. The grading exhibit provided shows a proposed swale along
the southerly property line directing water towards the rear lot line, discharging into a small
infiltration basin located in the northeast corner of the lot. This basin has a proposed emergency
overflow of 902.0. The basin discharges northerly – onto adjacent property.
Comments:
1. Exhibit A suggests the infiltration basin is sized for 30% impervious lot coverage. The
proposed lot coverage is 43.7% impervious.
2. Soils information and stormwater modeling not provided to support infiltration basin design.
3. Infiltration basin design required (cross section, materials, infiltration calcs)
4. The E.O.F. of the basin meets the requirement for separation from low opening.
5. Stormwater maintenance agreement required for the infiltration basin.
6. Drainage and utility easement required if city maintained.
7. Proposed house falls off the constructed house pad – correction needed.
8. Revised grading plan for St. Clair Estates will be required.
Conclusions:
1. A stormwater management plan was reviewed and approved for the entire St. Clair Estates
development. We do not recommend the practice of stormwater management for individual
lots within a subdivision to accommodate non-compliant site construction for the following
reasons:
a. Overall functionality and longevity of the storm sewer system (BMP) in question.
b. Tracking of potential BMP modification by current or future homeowner an issue.
c. Need for private stormwater maintenance agreement recorded against the property in
perpetuity.
d. Need for additional drainage and utility easements..
e. Who is responsible for maintenance?
f. Are sureties secured for potential maintenance costs?

Re: Variance Application for 6650 Enid Trail
Dear Ms. Larsen,
Thank you for the opportunity to review the impervious surface variance application for 6650 Enid Trail
in Lino Lakes, MN.
As impervious surface coverage increases, the rate and amount of runoff and pollutants entering public
waters increases. When runoff from impervious surface coverage is not addressed, pollution increases
and the diversity of aquatic life is reduced. Regulating the amount of impervious surface allowed is
important for all areas where development occurs in order to limit the amount and maintain the
quality of water that runs off and into lakes, wetland and rivers. In the protection of water quality, the
management of rainwater on individual lots is one of the most important tasks local governments can
undertake.
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?
2
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, 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 impervious surface
provision, such as size of home or design preferences.
The only unique circumstances presented in the application are the minimum house size requirements
contained in the declaration of building covenants for St. Clair estates. The covenant states that the
minimum house size is 1500 sq. ft. The house that is proposed (excluding garage) is approximately
2650 sq. ft. The 1150 sq. ft. difference between the minimum house footprint allowed in the
development covenants, and the footprint selected by the landowner, results in the impervious surface
percentage increasing from 33.0% to the requested 43.7% (this assumes the garage and driveway area
are unchanged). A smaller house, along with a small change in driveway length or garage location or
dimensions, could keep impervious below the 30% maximum impervious allowed. Therefore, there are
not unique circumstances that justify the variance.
Is the variance in harmony with the purposes and intent of the ordinance?
The purpose and intent of restricting impervious surface is to limit the rate and amount of runoff and
pollutants entering public waters as development increases. When runoff from impervious surface
coverage is not addressed, pollution increases and the diversity of aquatic life is reduced.
The variance requested does not seek minimal relief of the maximum allowed impervious surface but
is a substantial deviation that is not in harmony with the purposes and intent of the City’s Shoreland
Ordinance. The proposed variance for a large increase in impervious surface sets a precedent for other
less developed areas of the City.
Does the proposal put property to use in a reasonable manner?
There are alternative home designs that would allow development to occur on the property without
needing a substantial deviation to the allowed impervious surface. The proposed footprint of the
selected home is very large for the size of the lot and incorporates a long driveway due to the garage
being placed on the left side of the home.
When evaluated against the purpose and intent of the City’s Shoreland Ordinance the proposed
development 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 design
preference 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.
3
The DNR recommends denial of the variance request to increase the allowed impervious surface to
43.7% of the lot at 6650 Enid Trail, Lino Lakes, MN 55014.
As you review this application, we suggest you consider the questions in the attached Impervious
Surfaces fact sheet, which was developed to specifically address the statutory criteria as they pertain
to impervious surface.
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.

Shoreland & Floodplain
Variance Guidance Series
This is one of a series of examples developed as guidance for considering variance requests along
lakes and rivers. Consult your local shoreland and floodplain ordinances.
Why are impervious surface coverage limits important?
In the protection of water quality, the management of rainwater on individual lots is one of our most
important tasks. Rainwater that does not infiltrate into the ground or evaporate runs downhill to lakes,
wetlands, or rivers. As impervious surface coverage increases, the
rate and amount of runoff and pollutants entering public waters
increases. When runoff from impervious surface coverage is not
addressed, pollution increases and the diversity of aquatic life is
reduced. Local governments have limited discretion to deviate
from - or grant a variance to - impervious surface limits. They may
do so only if all of the variance criteria established in state statutes
and their local ordinances are met. In evaluating such requests,
local governments must examine the facts, determine whether all
statutory and local criteria are satisfied, and develop findings to
support the decision. If granted, local governments may impose
conditions to protect resources. An example impervious surface
variance request, with considerations, is provided below.
Example Impervious Surface Variance Request
A property owner wishes to build a large lakehome on a conforming lot.
The lake lot includes a private driveway with a spur to the neighbor’s lot,
which was placed to avoid an adjacent wetland. The building plans for
the new construction plus the existing private road spur to the
neighbor’s property would exceed the impervious surface limit provision
in the local ordinance.
Considerations for Findings
A good record and findings help keep communities out of lawsuits and help them prevail if they find
themselves in one. In evaluating the facts and developing findings for this variance request, all of the
following statutory criteria must be satisfied, in addition to any local criteria:
Is the variance in harmony with the purposes and intent of the ordinance?
Considering a variance request is a balancing test that requires weighing the need of an individual
property owner against the purposes of the shoreland regulations for protecting the public interest.
These purposes are derived from Minnesota Shoreland Rules, which established impervious surface
caps to prevent excessive runoff from constructed surfaces. Such excessive runoff causes erosion,
transport of pollutants to public waters thereby degrading water quality. Considerations: Will
deviating from the required limit on this property undermine the purposes and intent of the
ordinance? Why or why not? Is it possible to mitigate the consequences of additional impervious
surface on-site such that additional runoff will not be produced? Would this mitigation be in harmony
with the purposes and intent of the ordinance? Why or why not?
Is the variance consistent with the comprehensive plan?
The local comprehensive plan establishes a framework for achieving a community’s vision for the
future. Most plans contain goals and policies for protecting natural resources and shorelands, as well
as maps that identify areas of high risk or with high ecological value where development should be
avoided. The variance request must be considered with these goals and policies in mind. Maps should
be consulted to determine if the property is within any areas identified for protection. Considerations:
Which goals and policies apply? Is allowing additional impervious surface and runoff consistent with
these goals and policies? Why or why not?
Impervious Surfaces
Page 2 of 2 Variance Guidance Series – ISC, Updated 10/10/2012
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, 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 impervious surface
provision, such as size of home or design preferences. Consider what distinguishes this property from
other shoreland properties to justify why the applicant should be able to deviate from the provision
when others must comply. Considerations: What physical characteristics are unique to this property
that prevent compliance with the requirement? Were any difficulties in meeting the impervious
surface limit created by some action of the applicant? Has the applicant demonstrated no other
feasible alternatives exist that would not require a variance, such as increasing the setback to reduce
driveway length or reducing the lakehome’s footprint?
Will the variance, if granted, alter the essential character of the locality?
Consider the size of the proposed structure, the extent of encroachment, and how it relates to the
shoreline and hydrology of the riparian area. A large addition located close to the shoreline can
detract from the natural appearance and character of the lake and its riparian areas and degrade water
quality by altering topography, drainage, and vegetation in the riparian area, negatively affecting
recreational, natural, and economic values. Considerations: Does the variance provide minimal relief
or a substantial deviation from the required setback? Does it affect the natural appearance of the
shore from the lake? Does it affect the hydrology of the riparian area?
Does the proposal put property to use in a reasonable manner?
Examine the reasons that the variance is requested and evaluate them in light of the purposes of the
local shoreland ordinance and the public water resource at stake. Since the impervious surface cap is
generally intended to reduce runoff to public waters, it may not be appropriate to allow large areas of
constructed surfaces so close to the water. Considerations: Has the applicant demonstrated that the
proposed construction is reasonable in this location given the sensitive nature of the area and the
purposes of the regulations? Why or why not?
Note: The last three criteria address practical difficulties. Economic considerations alone cannot create practical difficulties
Range of Outcomes
Based on the findings, several outcomes can occur:
If the applicant fails to prove that all criteria above are met, then the variance must be denied. For example,
the local government could find that the building plans itself created the circumstances necessary for a
variance rather than the any unique physical characteristics of the property.
If the applicant demonstrates that all criteria are met, then the variance may be granted. For example, the
local government could find that the construction footprint is reasonable, the circumstances are unique given
the adjacent wetland, and the minor deviation in the impervious surface coverage does not alter the
hydrology of the area (as determined through runoff calculations).
If the variance is granted and the impervious surface in any way alters the hydrology of the area, then
conditions may be imposed, such as to increase the structure setback from the lake by 15 feet to reduce the
extent of the driveway and minimize the amount of impervious surface coverage over the limit.
Conditions on Variances
If findings support granting the variance, consideration must be given to the impacts on the public water
and the riparian area and appropriate conditions to mitigate them. Conditions must be directly related and
roughly proportional to the impacts created by the variance. Several examples are provided below:
Modify construction designs (to minimize impact);
Use permeable pavement systems for walkways, driveways, or parking areas (to reduce effective
impervious surface area and infiltrate runoff);
Direct rain gutter discharges away from the public waters and into infiltration basins (to reduce
connected impervious coverage to allow additional areas for infiltration);
Preserve and restore shoreline vegetation in a natural state (to intercept and filter runoff coming
from structures and driveways); and/or
Increase setbacks from the ordinary high water level (to provide infiltration near public waters).

CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 19-76
RESOLUTION DENYING A VARIANCE FOR
IMPERVIOUS SURFACE COVERAGE FOR 6650 ENID TRAIL
WHEREAS, the City received a land use application for a variance for impervious
surface coverage for 6650 Enid Trail; and
WHEREAS, the legal description of the property is Lot 3, Block 2, St Clair Estates,
Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, the property is located within the City’s Shoreland Management Overlay
District; and
WHEREAS, Section 1102.07(1)(c)4 states that impervious surface coverage of lots must
not exceed 30% for single-family homes; and
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing to construct a single family home that would
create 43.7% impervious surface coverage; and
WHEREAS, the Planning & Zoning Board reviewed the variance application on June
12, 2019 and recommended denial with a 6-0 vote.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The City Council of The City of Lino
Lakes hereby makes the following:
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.
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. Impervious
surface coverage limits are important because as coverage increases, the rate and
amount of runoff and pollutants entering the public waters increases.
The variance to allow for 43.7% impervious surface coverage is not harmonious with the
general purposes and intent of the ordinance. The variance requested does not seek
2
minimal relief of the maximum allowed impervious surface but is a substantial deviation
that is not in harmony with the purposes and intent of the City’s Shoreland Ordinance.
2. The variance shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Goal#1 of the Comprehensive Plan’s 2030 Vision for Natural Resources and Amenities is
to identify, protect and preserve the desirable natural areas and ecological and aquatic
resources of the community.
The variance request is not consistent with the comprehensive plan. Increased
impervious surface coverage is a detriment to natural areas and water quality.
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
for solar energy systems.
The property owner does not propose to use the property in a reasonable manner. There
is no practical difficulty in complying with the required 30% impervious surface
coverage requirement. The lot is a standard 10,800 sf, R-1, Single Family Residential
that meets lot width, depth and size requirements.
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 not due to circumstances unique to the property. The lot is
a standard 10,800 sf, R-1, Single Family Residential parcel that meets lot width, depth
and size requirements. There are no unique circumstances to the property causing them
to not be able to comply with the ordinance. The plight is created by the landowner’s
preference to construct a single family home too large for the parcel. The City is not
obligated to approve house plans in order to meet private development covenants.
5. The variance shall not alter the essential character of the locality.
The variance will alter the essential character of the locality. The adjacent lots are
12,000 sf + lots with 2,500-2,800 sf homes. Impervious surface coverage on these lots is
less than 30%. The subject lot is 10,819 sf with a proposed 5,030 sf house.
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.
The variance will not be granted for any use that is not allowed under the ordinance for
property in the zoning district. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential for
a residential subdivision and driveways are consistent with residential uses.
3
7. In accordance with MN Stat. 462.357, Subp. 6, variances shall be granted for earth
sheltered construction as defined in MN Stat. 216C.06, Subd. 14, when in harmony with
the zoning ordinance.
Not applicable.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes hereby
denies a variance to allow for 43.7% impervious surface coverage at 6650 Enid Trail.
Adopted by the Council of the City of Lino Lakes this 8th day of July, 2019.
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was introduced by Council
Member_______________ and was duly seconded by Council Member
________________ and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 6D
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: July 8, 2019
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 19-85, Approving Tax Increment
Financing Plan for District 1-13.
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to approve the Tax Increment Financing Plan for
District 1-13.
BACKGROUND
Lyngblomsten Senior Housing, Inc. is proposing to develop a 20 acre area located in the
northwest quadrant of Hodgson Road and County Road J as a senior living community. The
City Council approved the Preliminary Plat/PUD Development Stage Plan for the project on
April 8, 2019. The project is proposed to include 20 rental cottage homes, and a senior rental
housing building consisting of both independent and assisted living units. A skilled nursing
facility is also planned as part of the campus. The project, as proposed, addresses a number of
City goals related to this area and will significantly reshape the NW quadrant of the 49/J
intersection. The public benefits include:
• Demolition and consolidation of existing underutilized properties including removal of
four existing buildings.
• Consolidation of multiple vacant or underutilized parcels and development of new
commercial pad sites generating new commercial tax base.
• Provides new right-of-way for both proposed and future County road improvements for
both Hodgson and County Road J.
• Constructs new turn lanes on Hodgson Road including the southbound approach to
County Road J.
• New public street improvements and consolidation of access points to Hodgson and CRJ
to improve circulation, capacity and safety along the corridor.
• Construction of nearly a ½ mile of new trail linking residents west of Hodgson Road with
the existing trail system to the east.
• Relocate and bury existing power lines running along the corridor.
• Catalyst for addition roadway improvements by Anoka County and Ramsey County
including striping and turn lane improvements on County Road J to increase capacity of
roadway.
• Extension of public water and sanitary sewer to areas currently without service. Will
include main lines to service areas east of Hodgson Road.
• Extension of trunk water main through development area shortening remaining looping
needs for southwest area.
• Creation of approximately 130 FTE jobs with average hourly wages of $22.50/hour.
• Provision of variety of senior housing options not previously provided for in the City by a
well-established twin city care provider.
• The applicant will still be subject to all city fees including building permits, trunk utility
and park dedication requirements.
The developer has submitted an application for public assistance to offset land, infrastructure,
and construction costs related to the senior building. The proposed public assistance would be
provided in the form of Tax Increment Financing (TIF).
The establishment of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District requires the preparation of a TIF
plan and review by both the school district and county. No comments were received from
Centennial School District or Anoka County. Additionally, in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes the plan requires that at least 20% of the units will be restricted for persons or families
with incomes at or below 50% of the area median income.
A public hearing must be held prior to City Council consideration to establish a district.
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Plan
The TIF plan provides the framework for the use of tax increment for development purposes.
The plan includes the statutory authorization, purpose and objectives of the district. The
City/EDA are proposing to establish a Housing District. The maximum duration of a housing
district is 26 years from the date of receipt of the first increment. The TIF plan is proposing a
maximum duration of 9 years.
The primarily purpose of the district is to aid in the construction of the proposed senior housing
facility. Tax increment is intended to be used to offset costs related to land, building and
infrastructure costs.
The plan includes the City’s findings that, in our opinion, due to extraordinary costs associated
with the project including land assembly, infrastructure and building, the project would not be
reasonably expected to occur solely through private investment.
The estimated public costs eligible for reimbursement from tax increment total $3,701,133. Tax
increment revenues generated from the development are expected to equal this amount.
Approval of the plan and determination of eligible costs does not obligate the City/EDA to any
specific district duration or amount of assistance.
The determination of any specific assistance package will be part of a separate contract for
development. The EDA will be considering approval of a Contract for Private Development on
July 22, 2019.
Representatives from BakerTilly, the City’s financial consultant, and Kennedy & Graven, the
City’s Development Counsel will be present at the meeting to address any City Council
questions.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 19-85.

Section 1. Findings; TIF District.
1.01. It is found and determined that it is necessary and desirable for the sound and orderly

and general welfare, that the authority of the TIF Act be exercised by the City to provide public financial
assistance to the TIF District and the Development District.

1.03. The proposed development to be financed in part through tax increment financing will provide
the City with affordable housing for seniors.
1.04. The TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for development of the City as a whole.
1.05. The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City
as a whole, for the development of the TIF District and the Development District by private enterprise.
1.06. The TIF District is a housing district under Section 469.174, subdivision 11 of the TIF Act.
1.07. The reasons and facts supporting all the above findings are set forth in the TIF Plan and are
incorporated herein by reference. The City Council has also relied upon the reports and recommendations of
its staff and consultants, as well as the personal knowledge of members of the City Council, in reaching its
conclusions regarding the TIF Plan.
Section 2. Public Purpose. The adoption of the TIF Plan conforms in all respects to the
requirements of the TIF Act. The TIF Plan will help facilitate an affordable housing development for seniors.
The City expressly finds that the tax increment assistance is provided solely to make the development
financially feasible and thus produce the public benefits described. Therefore, the City finds that the public
benefits of the TIF Plan exceed any private benefits.

file at City Hall.

The Development District Act authorizes the City and Authority, upon certain public purpose findings by the City
Council, to establish and designate development districts within the City and to develop and administer development
programs therefore to meet the needs and accomplish the public purposes specified in Section C. In accordance
with the purposes set forth in Section 469.124 of the Development District Act, the City Council and Authority have
established the Development District comprising the area described in Section E and have adopted this Development
Program.
Section C Statement of Need and Public Purpose
The City Council and Authority have determined that there is a need for the City to take certain actions they deem
necessary in order to encourage, ensure and facilitate development and redevelopment by the private sector of
underutilized, inappropriately used and unused land located within the corporate limits of the City. Such actions are
necessary in order to provide additional employment opportunities for residents of the City and the surrounding area;
to improve the tax base of the City, the County and the School District, thereby enabling them to better provide
needed public services; and to improve the general economy of the City, the County and the State.
Section D Statement of Objectives
The Authority seeks to achieve the following objectives through the establishment of TIF District No. 1-13:
Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority, Minnesota
BAKER TILLY Page 2
1. redevelop blighted areas as identified
2. provide housing opportunities within the community
3. provide employment opportunities within the community.
4. improve the tax base of Lino Lakes and the general economy of the City and State;
5. implement relevant portions of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Authority’s specific purpose in establishing TIF District No. 1-13 is to aid in the construction of a senior living care
campus comprising of independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled care and detached townhomes of
which the intended age for occupants is 55+. The Authority intends to use increment generated by the new
development to assist with financing a portion of the extraordinary onsite and offsite costs directly related to the
senior care building including acquisition, underground and surface parking, streets, public utilities, and public
improvements to gain access to the site.
Section E Designation of Tax Increment Financing District as a
Housing District
Pursuant to the TIF Act, the City seeks to create Tax Increment Financing (Housing) District No. 1-13 and adopt a
TIF Plan for the TIF District. The City will review the TIF Plan prior to City adoption. TIF District No. 1-13 is a housing
district.
Housing districts are a type of tax increment financing district that consist of a project intended for occupancy, in part,
by persons or families of low and moderate income. Low and moderate income is defined in federal, state, and
municipal legislation. A project does not qualify if more than 20% of the square footage of buildings that receive
assistance from tax increments consist of commercial, retail or other nonresidential use.
In addition, housing districts are subject to various income limitations and requirements for residential property. For
owner occupied residential property, 95% of the housing units must be initially purchased and occupied by individuals
whose family income is less than or equal to the income requirements for qualified mortgage bond projects under
section 143(f) of the Internal Revenue Code. For residential rental property, the property must satisfy the income
requirements for a qualified residential rental project as defined in section 142(d) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The TIF District meets the above qualifications for these reasons:
1. The planned improvements consist of the following:
a. Approximately 150 total units, for which the following will apply:
o 150-unit senior housing building with at least 20% (30) of the rental units will be occupied by
persons with incomes no greater than 50% of county median income
2. At least 80% of the proposed development will be used for residential purposes.
3. The City will require in the development agreement that the income limitations for the rental units in the
senior building will apply for the duration of the TIF District.
Tax increments derived from a housing district must be used solely to finance the cost of housing projects as defined
in section 469.174, subd. II and 469.176 of the TIF Act. The cost of public improvements directly related to the
housing projects and the allocated administrative expenses of the City may be included in the cost of a housing
project. The City anticipates using tax increment revenues to finance a portion of the extraordinary costs associated
with providing the affordable housing units.
Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority, Minnesota
BAKER TILLY Page 3
Section F Duration of the TIF District
Housing districts may remain in existence 25 years from the date of receipt of the first tax increment. Modifications of
this plan (see Section Z) shall not extend these limitations.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, subd. 1(b), the Authority specifies 2022 as the first year in which it
elects to receive tax increment from the TIF District, which is no later than four years following the year of approval of
the TIF District. Thus, the Authority may collect increment from the district through December 31, 2047; however, the
Authority anticipates decertifying the TIF District as early as possible with a projected maximum term of 8.5 years. All
tax increments from taxes payable in the year the TIF District is decertified shall be paid to the Authority.
Section G Property to be Included in the TIF District
The TIF District comprises 1 parcel that contains an underutilized building that will be demolished prior to
development. The total area of the TIF district also includes adjacent streets and right-of-way located within the
Project Area and are described below. A map showing the location of the TIF District is shown in Exhibit I.
Parcel Number Legal Description

SUB LYG BET WLY EXTNS OF N & S LINES OF SD LOT 4
It is anticipated the parcel listed above will be replatted prior to development and a portion of the property will be
included within the boundaries of the TIF District. The area encompassed by the TIF District shall also include all
street or utility right-of-ways located upon or adjacent to the property described above, as illustrated in the boundary
map included in Exhibit I.
Section H Property to be Acquired in the TIF District
The Authority may acquire and sell any or all of the property located within the TIF District; however, the Authority
does not anticipate acquiring any such property at this time.
Section I Specific Development Expected to Occur Within the TIF District
The proposed project includes the development of property within the City to include a senior care campus with
independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled care units in one building with an underground parking
structure. The skilled care portion of the building is a non-residential use that will be less than 20% of the square
footage of the entire building. In addition to the senior building will be the construction of 20 detached townhomes
and community clubhouse. In order to comply with Minnesota Statutes for designation of a Housing TIF District, at
least 20% of the units will be restricted for persons or families with incomes at or below 50% of area median income.
The Authority has identified significant costs related to construction of the project including acquisition, site
development, infrastructure and public improvements that are deemed necessary for the project to proceed. The
Authority anticipates providing financial assistance for the costs associated with the provision of affordable housing,
acquisition and redevelopment of the entire property site and also to finance certain public improvements directly
related to the housing development project. The Authority may also use available tax increment revenues to finance
a portion of the eligible related administrative expenses.
Demolition and subsequent construction of the new development on the project site is projected to start in late 2019.
The project is expected to be fully constructed by December 31, 2020 and be 100% assessed and on the tax rolls as
of January 2, 2021 for taxes payable 2022.

BAKER TILLY Page 4
Section J Findings and Need for Tax Increment Financing
In establishing the TIF District, the City makes the following findings:
(1) The TIF District qualifies as a housing district.
See Section G of this document for the reasons and facts supporting this finding.
(2) The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur
solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future.
The proposed development is expected to consist of approximately 150 senior housing units
comprising of independent living, assisted living and memory care units. The City’s finding that the
proposed development would be unlikely to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future is based on an analysis of the project pro forma and other materials
submitted to the City by the developer. These documents have indicated that due to the significant
costs associated with assembling the project site and construction of the senior housing project will
result in returns that are not sufficient to support development, thereby making this housing
development infeasible without public assistance. There are significant development costs
associated with acquisition, demolition, installation of new infrastructure and structured parking.
Therefore, the developer has indicated in communications with the City and submitted financial
data that the development as proposed would not move forward without tax increment assistance.
(3) The TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for development or redevelopment of the City as a
whole.
The reasons and facts supporting this finding are that the City Council of the City has
found the TIF plan consistent with the general plan for development of the city as a whole
and will generally complement and serve to implement policies adopted in the City's
comprehensive plan.
(4) The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a
whole, for the development of the Project Area by private enterprise.
Through the implementation of the TIF Plan, the City will provide an impetus for a new
senior care campus, of which a portion of the units will be affordable, which complements
the overall housing needs of the City and helps support other private types of
development by providing a range of housing opportunities for residents and workers
within the City.
Section K Estimated Public Costs
The estimated public costs of the TIF District are listed below. Such costs are eligible for reimbursement from tax
increments of the TIF District.
Land/Building acquisition 888,000
Site Improvements/Preparation costs 2,330,000
Utilities 0
Other Housing Improvements 298,075
Administrative expenses 185,058
Subtotal
Interest expenses 0
Total 3,701,133
Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority, Minnesota
BAKER TILLY Page 5
The Authority anticipates using tax increment to the extent available to finance affordable housing costs, site
improvement/preparation costs, public improvement infrastructure costs, land acquisition and related administrative
expenses, and other TIF-eligible expenditures as deemed necessary and related to redevelopment of the project site.
The Authority reserves the right to administratively adjust the amount of any of the items listed above or to
incorporate additional eligible items, so long as the total estimated public cost ($3,701,133) is not increased. The
Authority also reserves the right to fund any of the identified costs with any other legally available revenues, such as
grants and/or loans, but anticipates that such costs will be primarily financed with tax increments.
Section L Estimated Sources of Revenue
Tax Increment revenue 3,701,133
Interest on invested funds 0
Land Sale Proceeds 0
Other 0
Total 3,701,133
The Authority anticipates providing financial assistance on a pay-as-you-go basis for acquisition and site
improvement and infrastructure costs, as well as other TIF-eligible expenses related to the proposed development.
As tax increments are collected from the TIF District in future years, a portion of these taxes will be used by the
Authority to reimburse the developer/owner for public costs incurred (see Section K).
The Authority reserves the right to finance any or all public costs of the TIF District using pay-as-you-go assistance,
internal funding, general obligation or revenue debt, or any other financing mechanism authorized by law. The
Authority also reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally applicable to the Project Area to pay for such
costs including, but not limited to, special assessments, utility revenues, federal or state funds, and investment
income.
Section M Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness
The maximum principal amount of bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) secured in whole or part with tax increment from
the TIF District is $3,701,133. The Authority currently plans to finance the improvement costs in the form of a pay-as-
you go revenue note but reserves the right to issue bonds in any form, including without limitation any interfund loan
with interest not to exceed the maximum permitted under Section 469.178, subd. 7 of the TIF Act.
Section N Original Net Tax Capacity
The County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. This value will be equal to the total
net tax capacity of all property in the TIF District as certified by the State Commissioner of Revenue. For districts
certified between January 1 and June 30, inclusive, this value is based on the previous assessment year. For
districts certified between July 1 and December 31, inclusive, this value is based on the current assessment year.
The Estimated Market Value of all property within the TIF District as of January 2, 2018, for taxes payable in 2019, is
$908,400. Upon establishment of the district and subsequent reclassification of property, the estimated original net
tax capacity of the TIF District is expected to be $11,355. This assumes the property is classified as residential rental
with a classification rate of 1.25%.
Each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount that the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased
as a result of:
(1) changes in the tax-exempt status of property;
Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority, Minnesota
BAKER TILLY Page 6
(2) reductions or enlargements of the geographic area of the TIF District;
(3) changes due to stipulation agreements or abatements; or
(4) changes in property classification rates.
Section O Original Tax Capacity Rate
The County Auditor shall also certify the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District. This rate shall be the sum of all
local tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District. This rate shall be for the same taxes payable year as the
original net tax capacity.
In future years, the amount of tax increment generated by the TIF District will be calculated using the lesser of (a) the
sum of the current local tax rates at that time or (b) the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District.
The sum of all local tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District, for taxes levied in 2019 and payable in 2020, is
not available at the time off drafting of this document. The County Auditor shall certify the amount for taxes payable
2020 as the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District once available assuming the request for certification is made
between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020. For purposes of estimating the tax increment generated by the TIF District,
the sum of the local tax rates for taxes levied in 2018 and payable in 2019, is 117.574% as shown below.
2018/2019
Taxing Jurisdiction Local Tax Rate
City of Lino Lakes 41.817%
Anoka County 34.473%
ISD #12 35.984%
Other 5.300%
Total 117.574%
Section P Projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity and
Projected Tax Increment
The Authority anticipates that the project will begin construction in fall 2019 and be 100% completed by December
31, 2020, creating a total tax capacity for TIF District No. 1-13 of $362,388 as of January 2, 2021. The captured tax
capacity as of that date is estimated to be $351,033 and the first year of tax increment is estimated to be $390,675
payable in 2019. A complete schedule of estimated tax increment from the TIF District is shown in Exhibit III.
The estimates shown in this TIF plan assume that residential rental class rates remain at 1.25% of the estimated
taxable value and include 0% annual increases in market values.
Each year the County Auditor shall determine the current net tax capacity of all property in the TIF District. To the
extent that this total exceeds the original net tax capacity, the difference shall be known as the captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District.
The County Auditor shall certify to the City the amount of captured net tax capacity each year. The City may choose
to retain any or all of this amount. It is the City's intention to retain 100% of the captured net tax capacity of the TIF
District. Such amount shall be known as the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority, Minnesota
BAKER TILLY Page 7
Exhibit II gives a listing of the various information and assumptions used in preparing a number of the exhibits
contained in this TIF Plan, including Exhibit III which shows the projected tax increment generated over the
anticipated life of the TIF District.
Section Q Use of Tax Increment
Each year the County Treasurer shall deduct 0.36% of the annual tax increment generated by the TIF District and
pay such amount to the State's General Fund. Such amounts will be appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost of
financial reporting and auditing of tax increment financing information throughout the state. Exhibit III shows the
projected deduction for this purpose over the anticipated life of the TIF District.
The City has determined that it will use 100% of the remaining tax increment generated by the TIF District for any of
the following purposes:
(1) Pay for the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section K) and County administrative
costs associated with the TIF District (see Section T);
(2) pay principal and interest on one or more pay-as-you-go notes, tax increment bonds or other bonds
issued to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District;
(3) accumulate a reserve securing the payment of tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to
finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District;
(4) pay all or a portion of the county road costs as may be required by the County Board under M.S.
Section 469.175, Subdivision 1a; or
(5) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School
District.
Tax increments from property located in one county must be expended for the direct and primary benefit of a project
located within that county, unless the county board involved waives this requirement. Tax increments shall not be
used to circumvent levy limitations applicable to the City.
Tax increment derived from the TIF District must be used solely to finance the cost of housing projects (including
administrative expenses and public improvement costs) as defined in Section 469.174, Subdivision 11 of the Tax
Increment Act and subject to the requirements set forth in Section 469.1761 of the Tax Increment Act.
Tax increment shall not be used to finance the acquisition, construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a
building to be used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a municipality, county, school district, or any
other local unit of government or the State or federal government. Further, tax increments may not be used to
finance: a commons area used as a public park; facilities used for social or recreational purposes (whether public or
private); or publicly-owned facilities used for conference purposes; provided that tax increment may be used for a
privately owned conference facility, and for parking structures whether public or privately owned and whether or not
they are ancillary to one of the otherwise prohibited uses described above.
If there exists any type of agreement or arrangement providing for the developer, or other beneficiary of assistance,
to repay all or a portion of the assistance that was paid or financed with tax increments, such payments shall be
subject to all of the restrictions imposed on the use of tax increments. Assistance includes sale of property at less
than the cost of acquisition or fair market value, grants, ground or other leases at less then fair market rent, interest
rate subsidies, utility service connections, roads, or other similar assistance that would otherwise be paid for by the
developer or beneficiary.
Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority, Minnesota
BAKER TILLY Page 8
Section R Excess Tax Increment
Beginning with the sixth year after certification of the TIF District, any year in which the tax increments from the TIF
District exceed the amount necessary to pay the estimated public costs authorized by the TIF Plan, the City shall use
the excess tax increments to:
(1) prepay any outstanding tax increment bonds;
(2) discharge the pledge of tax increments thereof;
(3) pay amounts into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of the tax increment bonds; or
(4) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School
District. The County Auditor must report to the Commissioner of Education the amount of any
excess tax increment redistributed to the School District within 30 days of such redistribution.
Section S Tax Increment Pooling and the Five-Year Rule
As permitted under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.1763, subdivision 2(b) and subdivision 3(a)(5), any expenditures
of increment from the TIF District to pay the cost of a “housing project” as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, subd. 11 will be treated as an expenditure within the district for the purposes of the “pooling rules” and the
“five-year rule”. The City does not currently anticipate that tax increments will be spent outside the TIF District
(except allowable administrative expenses), but such expenditures are expressly authorized in this TIF Plan.
The Authority does not expect that allowable pooling expenditures will be made outside of the TIF District, but such
expenditures are expressly authorized in this TIF Plan.
Section T Limitation on Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses are defined as all costs of the Authority other than:
(1) amounts paid for the purchase of land;
(2) amounts paid for materials and services, including architectural and engineering services directly
connected with the proposed development within the TIF District;
(3) relocation benefits paid to, or services provided for, persons or businesses residing or located
within the TIF District; or
(4) amounts used to pay interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a discount, tax increment bonds.
Administrative expenses include amounts paid for services provided by bond counsel, fiscal consultants, planning or
economic development consultants, and actual costs incurred by the County in administering the TIF District. Tax
increments may be used to pay administrative expenses of the TIF District up to the lesser of (a) 10% of the total tax
increment expenditures authorized by the TIF Plan or (b) 10% of the total tax increments received by the District.
Section U Limitation on Property Not Subject to Improvements - Four Year Rule
If after four years from certification of the TIF District no demolition, rehabilitation, renovation, or qualified
improvement of an adjacent street has commenced on a parcel located within the TIF District, then that parcel shall
be excluded from the TIF District and the original net tax capacity shall be adjusted accordingly. Qualified
Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority, Minnesota
BAKER TILLY Page 9
improvements of a street are limited to construction or opening of a new street, relocation of a street, or substantial
reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street. The City must submit to the County Auditor, by February 1 of the
fifth year, evidence that the required activity has taken place for each parcel in the TIF District.
If a parcel is excluded from the TIF District and the City or owner of the parcel subsequently commences any of the
above activities, the City shall certify to the County Auditor that such activity has commenced, and the parcel shall
once again be included in the TIF District. The County Auditor shall certify the net tax capacity of the parcel, as most
recently certified by the Commissioner of Revenue, and add such amount to the original net tax capacity of the TIF
District.
Section V Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
Exhibit IV shows the estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions if the maximum projected retained captured net
tax capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to the other taxing jurisdictions. The City believes that
there will be no adverse impact on other taxing jurisdictions during the life of the TIF District, since the proposed
development would not have occurred without the establishment of the TIF District and the provision of public
assistance. A positive impact on other taxing jurisdictions will occur when the TIF District is decertified and the
development therein becomes part of the general tax base.
The fiscal and economic implications of the proposed tax increment financing district, as pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 2, are listed below.
1. The total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the district is estimated to be
$3,714,507.
2. To the extent the facility in the proposed TIF District generates any public cost impacts on city-provided
services such as police and fire protection, public infrastructure, and borrowing costs attributable to the
district, such costs will be levied upon the taxable net tax capacity of the City, excluding that portion
captured by the District. The City does not plan to issue bonds in conjunction with this project.
3. The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to school district levies,
assuming the school district’s share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same,
is estimated to be $1,136,840.
4. The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to county levies,
assuming the county’s share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same is
estimated to be $1,089,103.
5. No additional information has been requested by the county or school district that would enable it to
determine additional costs that will accrue to it due to the development proposed for the district.
Section W Prior Planned Improvements
The Authority shall accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor (or notice of district enlargement),
with a listing of all properties within the TIF District for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months
immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of
the TIF District by the net tax capacity of each improvement for which a building permit was issued.
There have been no building permits issued in the last 18 months in conjunction with any of the properties within the
TIF District.
Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority, Minnesota
BAKER TILLY Page 10
Section X Development Agreements
If within a project containing a housing district, more than 10% of the acreage of the property to be acquired by the
Authority is purchased with tax increment bonds proceeds (to which tax increment from the property is pledged), then
prior to such acquisition, the Authority must enter into an agreement for the development of the property. Such
agreement must provide recourse for the Authority should the development not be completed.
The Authority anticipates entering into an agreement for development but does not anticipate acquiring any property
located within the TIF District.
Section Y Assessment Agreements
The City may, upon entering into a development agreement, also enter into an assessment agreement with any
person, which establishes a minimum market value of the land and improvements for each year during the life of the
TIF District.
The assessment agreement shall be presented to the County or City Assessor who shall review the plans and
specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land, and
so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears to be an accurate estimate,
shall certify the assessment agreement as reasonable. The assessment agreement shall be filed for record in the
office of the County Recorder of each county where the property is located. Any modification or premature
termination of this agreement must first be approved by the City, County and School District.
The Authority anticipates entering into an assessment agreement.
Section Z Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Any reduction or enlargement in the geographic area of the Project Area or the TIF District; increase in the amount of
bonded indebtedness to be incurred; increase in the amount of capitalized interest; increase in that portion of the
captured net tax capacity to be retained by the City; increase in the total estimated capital and administrative costs;
or designation of additional property to be acquired by the City shall be approved only after satisfying all the
necessary requirements for approval of the original TIF Plan. This paragraph does not apply if:
(1) the only modification is elimination of parcels from the TIF District; and
(2) the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of
those parcels in the TIF District's original net tax capacity, or the City agrees that the TIF District's
original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the parcels
eliminated.
The City must notify the County Auditor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the geographic area of the TIF
District. The geographic area of the TIF District may be reduced but not enlarged after five years following the date
of certification.
Section AA Administration of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Upon adoption of the TIF Plan, the City shall submit a copy of such plan to the Minnesota Department of Revenue
and the Office of the State Auditor. The City shall also request that the County Auditor certify the original net tax
capacity and net tax capacity rate of the TIF District. To assist the County Auditor in this process, the City shall
submit copies of the TIF Plan, the resolution establishing the TIF District and adopting the TIF Plan, and a listing of
any prior planned improvements. The City shall also send the County Assessor any assessment agreement
Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority, Minnesota
BAKER TILLY Page 11
establishing the minimum market value of land and improvements in the TIF District and shall request that the County
Assessor review and certify this assessment agreement as reasonable.
The County shall distribute to the City the amount of tax increment as it becomes available. The amount of tax
increment in any year represents the applicable property taxes generated by the retained captured net tax capacity of
the TIF District. The amount of tax increment may change due to development anticipated by the TIF Plan, other
development, inflation of property values, or changes in property classification rates or formulas. In administering
and implementing the TIF Plan, the following actions should occur on an annual basis:
(1) prior to July 1, the City shall notify the County Assessor of any new development that has occurred
in the TIF District during the past year to ensure that the new value will be recorded in a timely
manner.
(2) if the County Auditor receives the request for certification of a new TIF District, or for modification
of an existing TIF District, before July 1, the request shall be recognized in determining local tax
rates for the current and subsequent levy years. Requests received on or after July 1 shall be
used to determine local tax rates in subsequent years.
(3) each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount of the original net tax capacity of the TIF
District. The amount certified shall reflect any changes that occur as a result of the following:
(a) the value of property that changes from tax-exempt to taxable shall be added to the
original net tax capacity of the TIF District. The reverse shall also apply;
(b) the original net tax capacity may be modified by any approved enlargement or reduction
of the TIF District;
(c) if the TIF District is classified as an economic development district, then the original net
tax capacity shall be increased by the amount of the annual adjustment factor; and
(d) if laws governing the classification of real property cause changes to the percentage of
estimated market value to be applied for property tax purposes, then the resulting
increase or decrease in net tax capacity shall be applied proportionately to the original net
tax capacity and the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
The County Auditor shall notify the City of all changes made to the original net tax capacity of the TIF District.
Section AB Filing TIF Plan, Financial Reporting and Disclosure Requirements
The City will comply with all reporting requirements for the TIF District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175,
subdivisions 5 and 6.

In such a case, the total local tax ratewould decrease by 1.110% (see Hypothetical Decrease in Local Tax Rate above). The hypothetical tax that theRetained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District would generate is also shown above.Statement 2: Since the projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District is not available to the taxing jurisdictions,then there is no impact on taxes levied or local tax rates. (1) Taxable net tax capacity = total net tax capacity - captured TIF - fiscal disparity contribution, if applicable. (2) The impact on these taxing jurisdictions is negligible since they represent only 4.51% of the total tax rate.
