WS – Item 2 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
Work Session Item No. 2 Date: November 1, 2021 To: City Council
From: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director Re: Lake Drive/Main Street Redevelopment – Anderson Companies
Background The northwest quadrant of Lake Drive and Main Street currently includes a mix of commercial and quasi industrial uses including an automobile salvage yard. The City’s 2040 Comprehensive
Plan guides the property as a Signature Gateway District. The Signature Gateway District is
reserved for high visibility, high traffic corridors serving as an entrance to the Community. The district allows residential at a density of 8.0 to 10.0 units per acre with 15 units per acre allowed if the project meets the City's housing goals. The district allows for development of multiple complementary uses on a single site including a combination of higher density residential,
commercial services, and employment opportunities. The planning district guide provides some
additional direction regarding the Main/Lake area: A Signature Gateway district is located around the intersection of Lake Drive and Main Street. Located
at a major crossroads in the community the intersection was the original “downtown” of Lino Lakes. Opportunity exists to redevelop both underutilized property and outdated land uses. A master planning
study should be prepared of the area to examine existing land use, future land use compatibility, right-of- way needs, access management, stormwater management, and other appropriate issues. This study area
should extend south to include James Street, Vicky Lane, and Kelly Street intersections. The district allows for both residential and commercial uses. A 75/25 residential to commercial area ratio was
assumed for planning purposes. However, commercial development is not required and individual parcels may develop with a single land use. The city will require strong emphasis on high quality architecture and
design standards. Staff has been working with the property owners and potential developers regarding
development options on approximately 10 acres in the northwest quadrant of the intersection
immediately north of Tavern on Main. As mentioned, the site includes an auto salvage yard that has been in existence for over 40 years. It is likely some environmental cleanup will be necessary to facilitate redevelopment of the site.
Anderson Companies has approached the City with interest to redevelopment the property.
Anderson is a Twin Cities based national property development firm with residential, commercial, and industrial projects throughout the metro area (www.andersoncompanies.us/). As previously noted, the Comprehensive Plan allows for 8.0 to 15.0 residential units per acres on
the site. In addition, the City’s housing component of the Comprehensive Plan does provide for
a density bonus and fee reductions for development projects that achieve specific goals in the
Comprehensive Plan. The developer would be attempting to consolidate multiple properties into
an integrated development pattern. Anderson is seeking City input on goals for redevelopment of the site. They have offered to hold a concept development work shop with the City Council and advisory boards to determine a
mutually agreeable development concept for the site. We are proposing the joint meeting be held
on Wednesday, November 17, 2021. Mr. Greg Anderson, representing Anderson Companies, will be present at the work session to introduce his company and their interest in the development site.
Requested Council Direction Staff is requesting City Council direction to set a joint board and council meeting date for November 17, 2021.

ANALYSIS Previous Land Use Application Submittal In 2017, the applicant and property owners submitted a PUD Concept Plan to the City proposing a master planned residential community consisting of 8 market rate apartment buildings, 20 twin homes and 2 senior assisted-living buildings. The total number of housing units was 452. The proposal did not move past concept plan.
The current preliminary plat proposal is for 4 housing units. Existing Site Conditions The 40 acre site is currently vacant, natural open space. Per the MLCCS, land cover includes
cattail marsh, deciduous woodlands, oak forest and tall grasslands. It is in the shoreland district of Amelia Lake. Topography contour elevations range from 908.1 OHWL to 930 along CSAH 54 and from 900 on the south end to 950 on the north end. A previously submitted Existing Slopes and Hydrology plan sheet indicating some slopes exceeding 20% on site. No
development is proposed in these areas. The property width tapers from approximately 1,000
feet (north) to 200 feet (south). The property length along CSAH 54 is approximately 3,000 feet. A 66 foot wide utility transmission easement with overhead power lines bisects the parcel north to south. Groundwater was encountered at 4 – 19 ft. Wetlands exist on site.
Zoning The subject site is zoned R-X, Rural Executive. One single family detached dwelling is allowed per 10 acre parcel.

Per the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the subject site is guided Urban Reserve and the land is preserved for post-2040 development. Land use prior to 2040 is limited to agricultural related uses and single family residential limited to 1 unit per 10 acres. The proposed development of 1 unit per 10 acres is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Zoning Requirements The subject site is zoned R-X, Rural Executive. It is 40.85 gross acres as measured above the OHWL 908.1 EL. Four (4) lots are being created for the purpose of constructing one (1) single
family home per lot. The site is also subject to requirements of the Shoreland Management Overlay District. Amelia Lake is classified as a Natural Environment Lake.

The lots will have limited ability to construct accessory structures, decks or additions due to the required OHWL setback, topography and wetland buffers. This shall be noted on the preliminary plat and certificate of survey submitted with the building permit.
In an R-X zoning district, a detached accessory structure is allowed at least 100 ft from the
CSAH 54/20th Avenue road right-of-way.
4
Building Requirements At the time of building permit, the single family homes will be reviewed for compliance regarding floor area, garage, design and construction standards and septic system design.
Subdivision Ordinance Per City Code Section 1001.076(1), a subdivision which results in three or fewer unsewered residential parcels, tracts or lots from one or two existing parcels, tracts or lots, within
unsewered residential areas of the city is a minor subdivision. A subdivision that results in more than three lots from one or two existing lots shall be platted. Four (4) unsewered residential parcels are proposed; therefore, a preliminary and final plat are required.
Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code The preliminary plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for urban reserve development and zoning code requirements for R-X, Rural Executive as discussed above.
Blocks and Lots The preliminary plat contains Lots 1-4, Block 1, Lake Amelia Woods.
Ghost Plat
Per City Code Section 1007.042(2)(d), all subdivisions in areas without public sanitary sewer shall be designed such that the larger non-sewered lots can be resubdivided to provide smaller sewered lots when sewer becomes available in the future. Homes and accessory buildings shall be
located on these lots so as to allow for future resubdivisions. This is also supported by City Code Section 1007.081(2)(d). The applicant submitted Sheet S4, Ghost Plat showing future resubdivisions of the 4 lots. Further subdivision of these lots will require public sanitary sewer and water. The ghost plat
shall be revised to reflect street right-of-way extending north to parcel PID #35-31-22-12-0001 and utility easements. The house on Lot 1 shall meet a 30ft setback from the ghost plat street right-of-way. It should also be noted the City’s review and comments on the ghost plat do not grant any
rights to develop the property as depicted on the ghost plat.
Streets and Alleys All 4 lots are served by CSAH 54/20th Avenue which is an A-Minor Reliever. Street right-of-
way 60 ft wide from centerline is required and provided on the preliminary plat. The A-Minor Reliever road has capacity for 4 additional lots.
5
The private driveway for 6351 20th Avenue encroaches south onto the subject site approximately 24 ft. A 24 ft wide Private Ingress/Egress Easement is proposed over the driveway. The applicant shall prepare a separate easement and exhibit clearly showing the location of the easement. This easement shall be recorded.
Easements The following drainage & utility easements are shown on the Preliminary Plat and are required on the Final Plat:
• CSAH 54/20th Avenue = 20 ft
• Side Lot Lines = 10 ft
• Amelia Lake = Delineated Wetland + 10 ft or
• Amelia Lake = Floodplain 100 yr. Elevation + 10 ft (whichever is greater)
• Wetlands = Delineated boundary + 10 ft
• Stormwater Facilities = HWL + 10 ft Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control
Per City Code Section 1011.011, a stormwater management plan 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. Lake Amelia Woods is within the floodplain and shoreland district. Per the Storm Water Management Plan prepared by Civil Methods, Inc. dated June 18, 2020,
the project is expected to disturb approximately 5 acres and add 2.22 acres of new impervious
area to the site. Runoff from the site enters Lake Amelia at 4 general locations. Drainage patterns will be maintained from existing to proposed conditions. No other properties will be impacted by runoff from the project. Drainage from the proposed impervious area will be conveyed to stormwater treatment basins and ultimately to Lake Amelia as it does under
existing conditions.
• Water Quality Treatment Volume
The City requires treatment of runoff based on 1.1” over the new impervious surface. Six (6)
biofiltration basins with native vegetation are proposed for water quality treatment. Infiltration is not feasible due to presence of clay and the site is within the Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA).
• Runoff Rate Control The City requires no increase in peak flow rates for the 2, 10 and 100 yr. frequency events. With the proposed basins, runoff rates are held or reduced for the overall project.
• Water Quality Control Water quality control is being provided through a series of biofiltration basins (raingardens).
6
A minimum 75 foot wide vegetated wetland buffer along Wetland A (lake) equivalent to the shore impact zone area is provided as a stormwater management best management practice (BMP) to minimize runoff pollutants from entering the lake. This is supported by City Code Section 1102.07(1)(c)3c.
The City Engineer comments that more information is needed to determine low floor separation, basins shall be on the same lot as they are treating, and filtration basins are not allowed in the Drinking Water Supply Management Area. These items have been resolved.
Per City Code Section 1102.07(2)(a), structures and facilities must be located to meet all setbacks. Stormwater facilities are not allowed within the 150ft OHWL setback, 40 ft CSAH 54 setback or 10 ft side yard building setbacks. The basin on Lot 1 shall be outside the 40 ft setback along CSAH 54.
Utilities
Sanitary Sewer
Public sanitary sewer is not available to the site. Private septic systems will be required for
each parcel. The plans show a primary and alternate site location per lot and corresponding soil boring data was provided. Standard mound systems are proposed for Lot 1 and Lot 2. Type 3 septic systems are proposed for Lot 3 and Lot 4. Per City Code Section 1102.12(2) of the Shoreland Management Overlay district, lots that would require use of holding tanks shall not
be approved. Private septic systems cannot be located with the 150 ft shoreland setback. These
requirements are met. Watermain
Public watermain is not available to the site. Private wells will be required for each parcel.
Well locations are shown on the preliminary plat and placed in relationship to the individual sewage disposal facilities on the same and adjoining lots. The applicant has demonstrated that each lot can accommodate a private well.
Public Land Dedication Per the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan and Anoka County Chain of Lakes-Otter Lake Regional Trail Master Plan, a regional trail is proposed on the east side of Amelia Lake. The
proposed trail extends from CSAH 14 (Main Street) through the City’s future recreational
facility on Birch Street then south along 20th Avenue. A separate trail easement 20 ft wide along CSAH 54 and 44 ft wide along the south lot line of 6351 20th Avenue shall be recorded. The 44 ft wide easement covers both the 24 ft private driveway easement and 20 ft trail easement. The applicant shall prepare a separate trail easement document and exhibit clearly
showing the trail easement location. This easement shall be recorded.
The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication for each new lot.

Park Dedication Fees
Total # of Lots = 4
x 2021 Park Dedication Fee $3,160
= Total Due $12,640
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. Tree preservation is especially important within the Shoreland Management Overlay District to prevent erosion, preserve shoreland aesthetics and protect wildlife habitat.
Per the Tree List Inventory, there are 793 trees on the subject site. Per Sheet TR1-Tree
Preservation Plan and Sheet TR2- Tree Mitigation Plan, 235 trees will be saved, 536 will be removed in the basic use and non-environmentally sensitive areas, and 22 will be removed in the natural resource protected area. These 22 trees will be mitigated for at a rate of one tree provided for every two trees removed. The stormwater basins were included in the basic use
area and they should not. The Tree Preservation and Mitigation Plan shall be revised
accordingly. Landscaping
Canopy cover, foundation landscaping, open space landscaping and buffer and screens are not
required for the 4 lot subdivision. Boulevard Trees
Boulevard trees are required at the rate of 1 tree per lot frontage for singly family lots. Lots 1-4
contain existing trees along CSAH 54/20th Avenue 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). Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)
An Environmental Assessment Worksheet is not mandated. The four (4) unattached residential units are under the 250 unattached unit threshold required for a mandatory EAW.
Great River Energy & UPA Easements The preliminary plat plan set shows a 70 ft wide Great River Energy Easement over an existing overhead transmission line that runs north-south through the development. The plan set notes “Proposed Great River Energy Easement”; however, the easement exists and is recorded. All
8
plan sheets have been revised to remove the word “proposed” and include the recording document number. The preliminary plat plan set also shows a 66 ft wide UPA Easement along CSAH 54. It does
not appear this easement is over an existing utility line. If the easement is not required, it should be vacated. The owner is corresponding with the utility company to vacate the easement. Wetlands A Wetland Delineation Report was completed by Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. on October 12, 2016. A WCA Notice of Decision (NOD) approving the wetland delineation was issued by VLAWMO on November 14, 2016. Although the NOD states the delineation is good for 3 years, staff received confirmation from VLAWMO that the NOD is actually good for 5 years.
Five (5) wetlands were delineated on site.

1A MnRAM Buffer Management Classification was not provided for Wetland A due to its proximity to the lake OHWL. The City will require a 75ft wide wetland buffer equivalent to the
shore impact zone as a stormwater BMP. Wetland buffer widths in accordance with VLAWO’s Buffer Management Class are provided on the preliminary plat and have been approved by VLAWMO. A 75 foot wide vegetated wetland buffer equivalent to the shore impact zone area is provided along Wetland A (lake) as a
stormwater management best management practice (BMP) to minimize runoff pollutants from entering the lake. The buffer extends 75 ft from the delineated wetland boundary. A wetland buffer declaration shall be recorded. The wetland buffer shall be indicated by permanent, free-standing markers.
The wetland buffer widths have been adjusted according to VLAWMO policy. The driveway on Lot 2 no longer impacts the wetland buffers; therefore, a variance is not needed. A drainage and utility easement 10 feet above the delineated wetland is provided.
All plan sheets have been revised to show the correct wetland buffer and drainage & utility easements.
9
Rare, Unique or Significant Resources Water willow (Decodon verticillatus), a MN DNR listed species of Special Concern, has been identified on site per the wetland delineation report. It occurs on undisturbed lakeshores.
Conservation of this species depends on avoiding physical alterations of shoreline and preserving native plant buffers. Minimal impacts to the resource along the lake shore are allowed for a 20 ft wide access to the lake. Wetland D is classified as a preserve due to high value amphibian habitat and vegetative
diversity. These areas will be protected by a wetland buffer adjacent to the wetlands and shoreline. Floodplain The 2015 DFIRM indicates Zone AE floodplain along the lake. The FEMA base flood elevation (BFE) is 910.2 EL. No floodplain impacts are proposed with this development. 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 Amelia Lake. This lake is a classified as a Natural Environment Lake and has a 908.1 OHWL elevation. The
required OHWL setback is 150 ft for unsewered lots. The proposed houses and private septic system setbacks are compliant. Per City Code Section 1102.07(2)(a), structures and facilities must be located to meet all setbacks. Stormwater facilities are not allowed within the 150 ft OHWL setback, 40 ft CSAH
54 setback or 10 ft side yard building setbacks. The plans shall be revised for Lot 1. Except for allowed water-orientated accessory structures, accessory structures and facilities shall meet the required principal structure setback and shall be centralized (City Code Section 1102.07(1)(c)6).
Per City Code Section 1102.87(1)(c)4 of the Shoreland Management Overlay ordinance, impervious surface coverage on each lot must not exceed 30%. Per the Preliminary Plat, each lot is under 5.9% impervious and meet the allowed impervious surface coverage requirements.
A native vegetated wetland buffer will be required as a stormwater management best management practice (BMP) to minimize runoff pollutants from entering the lake. Wetland/Shoreline Buffer Zone
10
Amelia Lake is one of the few unimpaired lakes in the city and efforts to protect and improve the natural resource should be implemented with any development. A 75 ft wide vegetated wetland/shoreline buffer along Wetland A (lake) is provided 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. One (1) access opening through the wetland buffer to the lake no greater than twenty (20) ft wide is allowed per lot. No structures, not even water-orientated accessory structures, are allowed in the 75 ft wide
wetland/shoreline buffer zone. Shore Impact Zone By definition, the shore impact zone is the land between the OHWL and a line parallel to it at a
setback of 50% of the structure. Since the required structure setback is 150 ft, the shore impact zone is 75 ft from the OHWL. No structures, not even water-orientated accessory structures, are allowed in the 75 ft wide wetland/shoreline buffer zone.
Comprehensive Plan Resource Management System
The Resource Management System Plan goal of preserving surface water quality is supported by providing stormwater management, wetland and shoreland buffers. Land Use Plan
Lake Amelia Woods is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and compliant with the zoning and subdivision ordinances. It is also compatible with adjacent residential land uses. Housing Plan
Lake Amelia Woods meets the goals of the housing plan. The development is compatible with the existing and adjacent residential homes and the natural resource. Transportation Plan
Goals of the Transportation Plan are to ensure that street and roads are as safe as possible and to reduce unnecessary traffic. CSAH 54/20th Avenue is an A-Minor Reliever and has capacity for 4 additional lots.
Sanitary Sewer and Water Supply Plan
Private septic systems with primary and alternative locations are provided for each lot. Private wells are being installed for each lot. The applicant has provided well locations for each lot.
11
Planning Districts The site is located in Planning District 4. As noted, a regional trail is proposed on the east side of Amelia Lake. The site is located within Amelia and Wilkinson Resource Management Unit
(RMU). Environmental Board Comments The Environmental Board reviewed the proposed preliminary plat on August 25, 2021. Their
recommendations are noted in the October 1, 2021 memo from the Environmental Coordinator. One specific comment was to prohibit motorized boats on Amelia Lake. This requires adopting water surface restrictions with property owner input, a public hearing, City ordinance and MNDNR approval. At the September 8, 2021 Planning & Zoning Board meeting, the Board did not support regulating motorized boat activity on the lake without input from all the lake
property owners. The Board suggested the property owners could pursue this avenue on their own if they desired. One resident, Steve Gallop-6102 Centerville Road, spoke in favor of the restriction. Anoka County Highway Department Per the County’s October 7, 2021 letter, they have reviewed the preliminary plat and have no further comments. MNDNR Comments MNDNR provided email comments on October 6, 2021. They request the OHWL elevation (NAVD 88) shown on the preliminary plat be revised to reflect the DNR’s official complete value which is 908.36.
VLAWMO Comments VLAWMO provided advisory comments on August 31, 2021 and September 27, 2021. Overall, the development’s stormwater plan meets rate control, runoff volume and water quality requirements. Wetland boundaries, management classifications and buffer widths have
also been reviewed and approved.
Stormwater Maintenance Agreement The stormwater ponds will be privately maintained and a Stormwater Maintenance Declaration will be required with the final plat and shall be recorded by the applicant. Final Plat A land use application for final plat and Development Agreement shall be required. Planning and Zoning Board
On September 8, 2021, the Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing to review the preliminary plat for Lake Amelia Woods. One resident, Steve Gallop-6102 Centerville Road,
12
spoke in favor of the motorized boating restriction. The Board motioned to continue the public hearing to October 13, 2021 to allow the applicant time to address staff’s and Board’s concerns. There were no additional public comments. The Board recommended approval of the
preliminary plat with a 5-0 vote.
Findings of Fact Council Resolution No. 21-114 details the preliminary plat findings of fact.
RECOMMENDATION The Planning & Zoning Board and staff recommend approval of the preliminary plat for Lake Amelia Woods with conditions listed in the resolution. ATTACHMENTS 1. Aerial Map 2. Preliminary Plat Plan Set Excerpts prepared by Acre Land Surveying revision date 9/22/2021

with a 5-0 vote.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The City Council of The City of Lino Lakes hereby makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
Per Subdivision Ordinance Section 1001.013, Premature Subdivision: (1) General. Any concept plan, preliminary plat or final plat deemed premature pursuant to the
following criteria shall be denied by the City Council.
(2) Conditions for establishing a premature subdivision. A subdivision may be deemed premature should any of the following conditions not be met.
(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. Lake Amelia Woods is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan in regards to resource management, land use, housing, transportation, sanitary waste disposal and
water supply as detailed in the November 8, 2021 staff report. The development is also
2
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. Lake Amelia Woods is a four (4) lot rural subdivision with private wells and septic systems. Per
the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the subject site is guided urban reserve and the land is preserved
for post-2040 development. Land use prior to 2040 is limited to agricultural related uses and
single family residential limited to 1 unit per 10 acres. The proposed development of 1 unit per 10 acres is consistent with the comprehensive plan’s infill policies.
(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;
3
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. Lake Amelia Woods meets the requirements for level of service (LOS). All four (4) lots are
served by CSAH 54/20th Avenue which is an A-Minor Reliever. Street right-of-way 60 ft wide is
required and provided on the preliminary plat. The A-Minor Reliever road has capacity for 4
additional lots. 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.
Lake Amelia Woods shall be served by an adequate water supply. Each lot will be served by a
private well. The applicant has demonstrated that each lot can accommodate a well and potable
water supply. (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.
Lake Amelia Woods is served with an adequate waste disposal system. Each lot will be served by a private septic system. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of The City of Lino Lakes hereby
establishes that Lake Amelia Woods is not a premature subdivision; and
4

acres for the purpose of constructing a 12,230 sf medical eye clinic. Lot 2 will be a future
commercial development and a formal site plan will be reviewed at later date. The name of the preliminary plat is Belland Farms. The name of the medical eye clinic is Associate Eye Care Partners (AECP).
The Land Use Application is for the following:
• Preliminary Plat o Lots 1-2 and Outlots A-B, Belland Farms
• Site Plan Review
o Commercial Medical Eye Clinic This staff report is based on the following information:
• Project Narrative prepared by SRa dated September 13, 2021

• Geotechnical Evaluation Report prepared by Braun Intertec dated September 1, 2021
• Wetland Permit Application prepared by Kjolhaug Environmental Services Company, Inc. dated September 13, 2021 ANALYSIS
Existing Site Conditions The 18 acre site is located in the northwest quadrant of CSAH 14 (Main Street) and 24th
Avenue. 24th Avenue/Elmcrest Avenue is the municipal boundary between the City of Lino
Lakes and the City of Hugo. The site is currently vacant commercial land with cropland, a small wooded area and wetlands. A 66 ft wide Minnesota Pipeline Easement bisects the site. Elevations range from 920EL in the south east portion of site down to 912EL at wetland in northwest corner of site. The soils are clayey sand and sandy lean clay. Hydrologic soil group
is C. Groundwater elevations range from 908 to 912EL.
Zoning and Land Use The parcel is zoned GB, General Business and allows for office business-clinical as a permitted
use. The parcel is guided commercial per the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code The preliminary plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for commercial development and zoning code requirements for GB, General Business as detailed below.
Blocks and Lots The proposed preliminary plat contains Lots 1-2, Block 1 and Outlots A-B, Belland Farms.
Parcel Acres Purpose
Lot 1, Block 1 1.76 acres Medical Eye Clinic
Lot 2, Block 1 1.99 acres Potential Future Daycare
Outlot A 0.46 acres Stormwater Pond
Outlot B 12.83 acres Future development
TOTAL 17.04 acres
Since there is no underlying preliminary plat and development plans for Outlot B, the outlot will need to be preliminary and final platted in the future. This will be similar to the development of Main Street Shoppes and Otter Crossing to the west.
Staff Comment: 1. Rosemary Way street right-of-way shall extend to the west lot line on the preliminary plat.
2. Lot 3 shall be shown on the preliminary plat to the west of Lot 2. 3. Lot 3 shall be final platted as an outlot. 4. Outlot A contains a publicly maintained stormwater pond and it shall be deeded to the City after it has been installed, established and approved by the City.
Streets and Alleys Rosemary Way is a public street aligning with Rosemary Way in the City of Hugo and extends from 24th Avenue west across the north lot lines of Lots 1-2, Block 1. The public street is proposed at 32 ft wide paved back to back with 60 ft of street right-of-way. Additional street
right-of-way may be needed in order to accommodate turn lanes and sidewalk.
Street right-of-way 33.5 ft in width is being dedicated along 24th Avenue creating a full 66ft of right-of-way. No additional street right-of-way is required along 24th Avenue.
Staff notes Rosemary Way will eventually extend west and connect to Otter Lake Road to serve
future development in both Belland Farms and Main Street Shoppes. This connection will create an important “backage road” from the City of Hugo and parallel to CSAH 14/Main Street to support transportation in the area. CSAH 14/Main Street is an A-Minor Connector
4
road and has limited access points throughout the corridor. Southbound 24th Avenue access onto CSAH 14/Main Street is right in/right out. This future street connection is also supported by Lino Lake Public Safety in order to provide
faster and more direct emergency response from CSAH 14 and Otter Lake Road. This future street connection is further supported by the following City Code Sections: § 1001.096 LAND REQUIREMENTS. (2) Proposed subdivisions shall be coordinated with surrounding properties and/or neighborhoods so that the city as a whole may develop efficiently and harmoniously. § 1001.100 STREETS AND ALLEYS. (3) Streets, continuous. Except for cul-de-sacs, streets shall connect with streets already
dedicated in adjoining or adjacent subdivisions or provide for future connections to adjoining unsubdivided tracts, or shall be a reasonable projection of streets in the nearest subdivided tracts. The arrangement of thoroughfares and collector streets shall be considered in their relation to the reasonable circulation of traffic, to topographic conditions, to runoff of storm water, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses
of the area to be served. Staff Comment: 1. Rosemary Way street right-of-way shall extend to the west lot line on the preliminary
plat. 2. A final plat submittal that shows the Rosemary Way street right-of-way shifting north or south shall not be deemed inconsistent with the preliminary plat provided that such location is approved by the City. 3. The final plat may show the street right-of-way extending only along Lot 1 and Lot 2.
4. Per the City Engineer, the applicant shall add a designated right turn lane on Rosemary Way onto southbound 24th Avenue. The left lane will be a left/thru onto Rosemary Way. Applicant to increase the right-of-way size to 66-ft wide.
Easements
Standard drainage and utility easements at least 10 feet wide have been provided over the lots lines and over Outlot A. An oversized 30 ft wide drainage & utility easement is provided along the east lot line of Lot 1 for drainage to the stormwater pond.
Several separate easement documents have been recorded along CSAH 14 (Main St). These easements are for trail, drainage & utility purposes. Staff Comment:
1. Standard drainage & utility easements 10 ft wide shall be recorded over Wetlands 1 and 2. 2. Wetlands 4 and 5 are anticipated to be impacted and mitigated with future development and do not require easements at this time.
5
Public Land Dedication The City will collect a cash fee of $9,450 in lieu of land dedication for commercial development for final platted Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Belland Farms. A trail shall be constructed
along the west side of 24th Avenue between Rosemary Way and CSAH 14/Main Street. The City will reimburse the developer for the trail construction costs. The trail shall be installed by the developer and maintained by the City.
Belland Farms
3.75 acres x $2,520 per acre = $9,450a
a Trail construction costs will be reimbursed to the developer.
Site and Building Plan Review Site Plan
This site and building plan review is only for Lot 1, Block 1, Belland Farms and the proposed
12,230 sf medical eye clinic. Lot 2 indicates a future daycare and site plan review will occur at a future date upon the submission of a separate land use application. The building is located in the southeast corner of the site with parking lot and stormwater pond
in the rear yard. Sidewalk extends around the building south to CSAH 14/Main Street.
Staff has completed a full site and building plan review of the project. Overall, the proposed site plan and building meets ordinance and performance standard requirements unless otherwise noted.
Staff Comments: 1. A 5 ft wide concrete sidewalk shall be constructed along the south side of Rosemary Way.
2. Future development to the north of Rosemary Way will require sidewalk construction
on the north side of the street. 3. An 8.5 ft wide bituminous trail shall be constructed along the west side of 24th Avenue from Rosemary Way to CSAH 14/Main Street. 4. The sidewalk north of the building on Lot 1 shall extend east and connect with the new
trail.
Lot Size and Setbacks The front lot line is along CSAH 14 (Main Street). The rear lot line is along Rosemary Way.
This is consistent with Main Street Shoppes and Otter Crossing developments to the west.

aA Land Use Application for full Site Plan Review of Lot 2 and Lot 3 will be required upon
development of that site.
Architectural Plans and Exterior Building Materials The medical eye clinic building is single story with exterior materials consisting of brick, glass
and fiber cement panel. The color palette consists of earth tone dark gray, brown, light tan
brick, light gray fiber cement panel and dark bronze flashing. The materials and percentages are compliant with performance standards. The building height is 18’ 0” which is less than that maximum 45 ft allowed.
A trash enclosure is proposed on the north side of the building. Construction details provided on Sheet A200 indicate dark ironspot brick and champagne brick to match the main building. The gate is a dark composite wood swing gate that has 100% opacity. The enclosure is 8’ 0” in height. The trash enclosure meets performance standards.
Per Sheet A300, the mechanical equipment is located on the rooftop and screened by a mechanical screen.
7
The building will be sprinkled for fire suppression. Outdoor Lighting
Per Section 1007.043(6)(d), no light source shall exceed 1.0 foot candle onto right of way or 0.4 foot candle onto adjacent property. Sheet M, Site Photometric Plan indicates light sources exceeding these limits and shall be revised. Light fixtures on the 27 ft high poles are down lit and cutoff as required by city code.
Architectural entry access lights are allowed on the front and side elevations. Off-Street Parking Requirements Per City Code Section 1007.044(6), medical clinics require 3 spaces plus at least 1 space per
200 sf of floor area. The 12,480 sf medical eye clinic would require 62 parking stalls. The site plan provides 74 parking stalls so this requirement is met. The site plan shows 12 additional future parking stalls west of Outlot A. These stalls are not needed to meet City requirements.
Grading Plan and Stormwater Management Per the Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Carlson McCain dated September 13, 2021, all stormwater from the site currently either drains to a culvert located in the southeast corner of
the site or to the north to the wetland located in the northwest corner of the site. The wetland located in the southwest corner of the site overflows to the culvert located in the southeast corner of the site. The proposed drainage boundary will contain approximately 2.723 acres of impervious surface,
which includes the public street, Lot 1 and Lot 2 for a net increase of 2.420 acres. One wet sedimentation basin will be constructed in Outlot A to provide water quality and rate control for the site. Due to onsite soils consisting primarily of clay type soils, infiltration is not feasible at this site. All stormwater that doesn’t flow to the basin will ultimately flow to the culvert located in the southeast corner of the site.
The proposed stormwater management facility has been reviewed by the City Engineer and RCWD to determine compliance for rate control, water quality and volume control. Public Utilities
The medical eye clinic and future commercial development will be municipally served by a 27” PVC sanitary sewer located along 24th Avenue and an 8” PVC along Rosemary Way.
The subject site is located in Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025) and Sanitary District 5 (Sub-
District 5A). Sanitary flows from this district are conveyed to the southeast, discharging into the MCES Lino Lakes Relief Interceptor located at the intersection of CSAH 14 and 24th Avenue.
8
It should be noted that current development east of I-35E and north of CSAH 14/Main Street in Otter Crossing and Main Street Shoppes is being served by Sanitary Sewer District 3 and the sanitary sewer main located in Otter Lake Road in order to help facilitate and expedite development. Future land development within Sanitary District 5 shall be evaluated for
capacity and flow to either District 3 or District 5. The development will be municipally served by an 8” DIP watermain located along 24th Avenue and Rosemary Way.
Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards
The Environmental Coordinator and Environment Board reviewed the tree preservation and landscaping requirements. The following comments are from the September 29, 2021 Environmental Board staff report.
Sheet TP1, Tree Preservation Plan calls for removal of 46 trees, most of which are in the southern portion of lot 2. Twenty-six (26) removals are in Basic Use Areas, non-Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA). These will not require mitigation. There are 20 trees being removed that are not located in Basic Use Areas or Environmentally Sensitive Areas.
These trees will require mitigation of 27 trees. Undesirable species do not have to be mitigated for. Removals of a 22” and 8” ash will not require mitigation trees to be planted. The total number of replacement trees required is 24.
Open Areas Landscape Standards The purpose of these standards is to provide general site beautification and high aesthetic quality with a mix of plant materials in open areas. Open area landscape standards call for 1 large tree and 3 large shrubs per 2,000 sf.
The following substitutions are allowable: 1 large tree = 1.5 medium or 2 small trees 1 large shrub = 1.5 medium or 3 small shrubs
31,252 sf of open space calls for 16 large trees and 47 large shrubs. The plan has 22 large tree or large tree equivalents near open space that would meet open space standards. The shrubs on site are associated with foundation and buffer and screen standards. The 13 large shrubs associated with the accent for the entrance sign should count towards open
space standards. There will be 34 more shrubs required that should be planted in open space. Specifically, these shrubs should be placed around the stormwater basin, along the turf area on the building’s east perimeter, or the stormwater runoff area in the south of the building. Buffer and Screen Standards
The purpose of this requirement is to separate and buffer different land use types, screen roads and parking, and screen utility and loading areas. Continuous, year-round planting screens require, at the minimum, a double row of plants with triangulated spacing.
9
Buffers and screens around the parking lot meet the requirements. Canopy Cover
Canopy cover standards call for a minimum of 40% canopy coverage. Canopy coverage values are calculated per tree based on the anticipated size 15 years after planting, and the distance to hardscape edge from the planting location. Vehicular hardscape planned: 27,227 sq. ft.
Canopy cover requirement: 10,891 sq. ft. Canopy cover provided: 9,350 sq. ft. Canopy cover requirements have not been met. The 3 large trees near the future parking lot just west of the stormwater basin would add 1,800 sq. ft. of canopy cover if they were moved
closer to the parking lot access road. Alternatively, if the future parking lot stalls were added, the vehicular hardscape and canopy cover totals must be recalculated. Foundation Landscaping
The purpose of these standards is to soften and enhance building architecture, define access points, add color and seasonal interest, and to blend buildings in with the natural environment. These standards apply to building fronts and sides facing public or private streets. 2 large trees and 6 large shrubs are required per 100 linear feet of building. These plants
should be within 30 feet of the building. The following substitutions are allowable: 1 large tree = 1.5 medium or 2 small trees 1 large shrub = 1.5 medium or 3 small shrubs
For 480 linear feet of applicable foundation, 10 large trees and 29 large shrubs (or acceptable substitutes) are required for the north, east, and south building faces. The plans indicate 4 large trees, 11 medium trees, 8 large shrubs and 116 medium shrubs.
These substitutions are equivalent to 11 large trees and 85 large shrubs. The foundation landscape requirements have been met.
Sod and Ground Cover Standards All areas not otherwise improved in accordance with the approved site plans shall have a minimum depth of 4 inches of topsoil and be sodded including boulevard areas. Seed may be provided in lieu of sod in certain cases, including when the area is adjacent to natural areas or
wetlands.
10
The area around the stormwater basin will be seeded with MN DOT 34-271 wet meadow seed mix, with 35-241 mesic prairie seed mix at higher elevations extending south along the eastern perimeter. Sod is proposed for the rest of the site.
A native seed mix should be used for the low runoff area in the southeast corner of the site in lieu of sod. Boulevard Trees
Boulevard trees are not required for commercial developments. Signage A monument sign pad is shown on the northwest corner of Lot 1. A separate Sign Permit
Application with detailed sign information is required for any on site or building signage. Impervious Surface Coverage The allowed impervious surface coverage per lot in the GB, General Business District is 75%.
Lot 1 has 59% impervious surface. Lot 2 has 52% impervious surface. The proposed post-development impervious surface coverages are compliant. Traffic Study A formal traffic study is not required for the 2 lot commercial subdivision. The updated 2020 I-35E Corridor AUAR analyzed traffic impacts for commercial development along this entire corridor. The proposed medical and commercial building are consistent with AUAR Land Use Scenarios #1 and #2 for commercial development. CSAH 14 (Main Street) is an A Minor Collector road and has capacity to handle the commercial traffic.
Future development of Outlot B may require a traffic study to evaluate impacts to 24th Avenue, Rosemary Way, CSAH 14/Main Street and Otter Lake Road. Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) The site is within the 2005 I-35E Corridor AUAR environmental review boundary. The AUAR was updated in May 2020. The AUAR identifies this site as commercial in the land use scenarios. The Belland Farms project is consistent with commercial development. No further
environmental assessment is required.
Wetlands Per the Wetland Permit Application prepared by Kjolhaug Environmental Services prepared on
September 13, 2021, a WCA Notice of Decision for wetland delineation was issued by RCWD
on September 7, 2021. Five (5) wetlands were delineated on site.
Wetland Acres
11
1 2.47
2 0.56
3 0.74
4 0.08
5 0.05
Total 3.9
The 2 lot commercial subdivision requires 0.7381 acres of permanent wetland impacts to Wetland 3. Wetland impacts will be mitigated via the purchase of wetland bank credits from the City of Blaine Wetland Bank #1664.
The wetlands are not within the Wetland Management Corridor (WMC) so WMC wetland buffers are not required. Staff Comments:
1. Standard drainage & utility easements 10ft wide shall be recorded over Wetlands 1 and 2. 2. Wetlands 4 and 5 are anticipated to be impacted and mitigated with future development and do not require easements at this time.
Shoreland District The development is not located in the Shoreland District. Floodplain
There is no FEMA floodplain on site. Anoka County Highway Department Anoka County Highway Department reviewed the preliminary plat and has no concerns with the plat as proposed. City of Hugo Comments The City of Hugo provided a comment letter on October 4, 2021. They recommend a development and construction phasing plan, transportation corridor study, and Elmcrest Avenue/24th Avenue and Rosemary Avenue improvements.
Lino Lakes staff communicated with Hugo staff that Lino Lakes is in the process of analyzing
alternative transportation routes for the extension of Otter Lake Road. This corridor will extend north and connect to 24th Avenue and serve as a north-south A-Minor Arterial Expander road serving future commercial and industrial development in the area. 24th Avenue south of the connection will continue to serve as a local road capable of handling the 2 lot commercial
12
development. The new street section of Rosemary Way in Lino Lakes will have turn lanes onto 24th Avenue. Future development of Outlot B, Belland Farms will require a thorough analysis of
transportation corridors and necessary road improvements with input from Anoka and Ramsey Counties and the City of Hugo. Public Safety Comments Deputy Director-Fire Division L’Allier notes concerns regarding access to the Belland Farms development for emergency responders if Rosemary Way is not connected to Otter Lake Road sometime in the future. Deputy Director-Police Division Leibel also notes concerns for emergency responders and
large apparatus vehicles that need to do a U-turn at Victor Hugo Boulevard to access the development. Rosemary Way connection to Otter Lake Road is supported. Environmental Board The Environmental Board reviewed the development proposal at their September 29, 2021 meeting and noted some with minor revisions such as additional inlet protection, additional canopy cover and landscaping are needed. Stormwater Maintenance Agreement The stormwater maintenance for public facilities will be covered under the City’s Programmatic Stormwater Management Agreement. The applicant will be required to have their own declaration for stormwater maintenance for the private storm sewer. Final Plat and Development Agreement The applicant shall submit a Land Use Application for final plat after preliminary plat approval. A Development Agreement will then be prepared by the City as part of the final plat application.
Site Improvement Performance Agreement A Site Improvement Performance Agreement is required for construction of the Associate Eye
Care Partners facility.
Comprehensive Plan Resource Management System
The Resource Management System Plan goal of preserving surface water quality is supported by the construction of stormwater management BMP’s such as curb, gutter, and stormwater pond.
13
Land Use Plan The Comprehensive Plan guides this property for commercial use. The proposed medical eye clinic and commercial building is consistent with commercial land use.
Housing Plan The goals and policies of Housing Plan are not negatively impacted by the medical eye clinic and commercial development.
Transportation Plan Goals of the Transportation Plan are to ensure that street and roads are as safe as possible and to reduce unnecessary traffic. CSAH 14 (Main Street) is an A Minor Arterial Connector road
and has capacity to handle the traffic volume of the commercial development.
Sanitary Sewer and Water Supply Plan The subject site is located in Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025) and Sanitary District 5 (Sub-
District 5A). Sanitary flows from this district are conveyed to the southeast, discharging into the MCES Lino Lakes Relief Interceptor located at the intersection of CSAH 14 and 24th Avenue.
It should be noted that current development east of I35E north of CSAH 14/Main Street in
Otter Crossing and Main Street Shoppes is being served by Sanitary Sewer District 3 and the sanitary sewer main located in Otter Lake Road in order to help facilitate and expedite development. Future land development within Sanitary District 5 shall be evaluated for capacity and flow to either District 3 or District 5.
The development will be municipally served by an 8” DIP watermain located along 24th Avenue and Rosemary Way. The sanitary sewer and water supply systems have capacity for the proposed development.
Planning and Zoning Board The Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing on October 13, 2021. Public comments included questions about traffic and future road alignments. The Board recommended approval of the preliminary plat with a 5-0 vote.
Findings of Fact Council Resolution No. 21-115 details the preliminary plat findings of fact.

2021 and the Board recommended approval of the Development with a 5-0 vote.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The City Council of The City of Lino Lakes hereby makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
Per Subdivision Ordinance Section 1001.013, Premature Subdivision: (1) General. Any concept plan, preliminary plat or final plat deemed premature pursuant to the
following criteria shall be denied by the City Council.
(2) Conditions for establishing a premature subdivision. A subdivision may be deemed premature should any of the following conditions not be met.
(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. Belland Farms is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan in regards to resource management, land use, housing, transportation and utilities. The development is also
consistent with the local water management plan, capital improvement plans and growth
2
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. Belland Farms is consistent with infill policies. The development is within the current Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025). The cost of utility and public street extension is being privately
financed by the developer. The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system are
consistent with the normal costs projected by the water and sanitary system plans. No future
utility costs are proposed. (c) Roads or highways to serve the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall meet the
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
3
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.
Belland Farms meets the requirements for level of service (LOS). The I-35E Corridor AUAR analyzed traffic impacts for commercial development of this entire corridor. The proposed medical eye clinic and commercial building is consistent with the AUAR Land Use Scenarios for
commercial development. CSAH 14 (Main Street) is an A Minor Arterial Connector road and
has structural capacity to handle the traffic volume of the commercial development. No street
improvements are proposed that are inconsistent with the City’s capital improvement plan. 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.
Belland Farms will have an adequate water supply. The development will be municipally served
by an 8” DIP watermain located along 24th Avenue and Rosemary Way. The City’s water system has capacity to accommodate the commercial development.
(e) Waste disposal systems. A proposed subdivision shall be served with adequate waste

Re: Water Appropriations Permit Amendments Court Order White Bear Lake Restoration Assoc. v. Mn/DNR Background On August 30, 2017, the Ramsey County District Court issued a judgement regarding the groundwater management of White Bear Lake and the Prairie Du Chien-Jordan Aquifer. As a result, the City’s Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Water
Appropriation Permit 1985-6168 was amended to include the following requirements:
• PLAN TO CONVERT TO SURFACE WATER SOURCE: A revised Water Supply Plan must be submitted to the DNR, by August 29, 2018, that includes a contingency plan to fully or partially convert the source water that is authorized under this permit from groundwater to surface water source(s). The contingency plan must include a schedule for funding design, construction and conversion to a surface water supply. Whether any conversion would occur shall be determined by the DNR and the holder of this permit.
• RESIDENTIAL IRRIGATION BAN: The permittee must prepare, enact and enforce a residential irrigation ban when notified by DNR that the lake level of White Bear Lake has fallen below 923.5 feet (MSL 1912), to continue until notified by the DNR that the lake level has reached an elevation of 924 feet (MSL 1912). By April 30, 2018, send the DNR your approved
ordinance or other enforceable mechanism for implementing an irrigation ban consistent with this permit condition.
• PER CAPITA WATER USE PLAN: By August 29, 2018 submit an enforceable plan to the DNR to phase down per capita residential water use to 75 gallons per day and total per capita water use to 90 gallons per day.
• REPORT ON COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS: Annual reporting to the DNR is required on your collaborative efforts with northeast metro communities to develop plans to phase down per capita residential water use to 75 gallons per day and total per capita water use to 90 gallons per day. Annual reports are due on March 31st of each year, beginning in 2019. In addition, the City is directly affected by other aspects of the order, including:
• A prohibition of the issuance of the new well permits within a 5 mile radius of the lake.
• DNR is required to set a collective annual withdrawal limit for White Bear Lake and adjust permits accordingly.
The City appealed the initial permit amendments. The contested case hearings were placed on hold pending the outcome of the DNR’s appeals process which has since been
completed. The MN Supreme Court issued a ruling in July of 2020 affirming 6 of the 7 issues.
The City was notified in March of 2021 that the contested case hearing process would
resume. City staff is currently working with the City Attorney and other affected jurisdictions on the appeal.
On October 20, 2021, the City was notified by DNR that the water elevation of White
Bear Lake had dropped below the trigger elevation of 923.5 feet requiring an irrigation
ban under the court order. The ban is to stay in place until the DNR notifies us that the lake elevation has rebounded to 924 feet. As of October 27, the lake elevation was 923.3 feet.
At this time, the City is not subject to this requirement pending completion of the
contested case hearings. However, the DNR has requested the City voluntarily implement the ban. Given that we are reaching late fall and irrigation systems are being winterized, we do not believe any action is necessary at this time. We will continue to monitor the issue and determine if any action will be necessary as spring approaches.
Staff is also expecting to schedule a presentation by Mn/DNR representatives at an upcoming work session.
Requested Council Direction
None required at this time.

Re: Residential Irrigation Ban at White Bear Lake Trigger Elevation of 923.5 feet (MSL 1912)
Permit No 1985 6168
Dear Sarah Cotton:
On August 30, 2017, the Ramsey County District Court issued a ruling requiring the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) to amend all water appropriation permits within five miles of White Bear Lake to
include a residential irrigation ban when the lake level reaches a trigger elevation of 923.5 feet (MSL 1912). In
March 2018, the DNR amended the above reference permit(s) to require you to institute a residential irrigation
ban when DNR notifies you that the elevation of White Bear Lake has dropped below 923.5 feet (MSL 1912).
The DNR recognizes that you have requested a contested case hearing, and that while the contested case is
pending, this permit condition is not in effect. Minnesota has, however, been experiencing extensive drought
conditions across the state, including within the five mile radius of White Bear Lake. Non essential water uses,
such as residential irrigation will leave less water to support domestic water supply and other higher priority
water uses, as well as aquatic ecosystems and recreation. Thus, even though you are not currently required to
implement the residential irrigation ban, the DNR is requesting, as a matter of comity, that you voluntarily
implement this ban now that the lake elevation has dropped below 923.5 feet (MSL 1912) and leave it in place
until the DNR notifies you that the lake elevation has rebounded to 924 feet (MSL 1912).
Should you have any questions regarding this requirement, please contact me at (651) 259 5156 or

Re: Rice Creek Watershed District Appointment
Background
The Rice Creek Watershed District is governed by a Board of Managers comprised of
five members appointed by the commissioners of Anoka, Ramsey and Washington
Counties. Of the five members, two are appointed from Anoka County, two are appointed
from Ramsey County and one is appointed from Washington County.
The term of each appointment is three years. Managers are eligible to be reappointed. To
be eligible for appointment, a nominee must reside within the watershed district
boundaries, be eligible to vote in the district, and not be a public officer of the county,
state, or federal government (except that a soil and water conservation supervisor can be
appointed).
Pursuant to Minnesota Statute §103B.227, Anoka County has published a notice detailing
a vacancy will occur on the Rice Creek Watershed District Board of Managers due to the
expiration on January 17, 2022, of the term of Steve Wagamon, City of Columbus.
Persons interested in being appointed to serve on the Board of Managers may submit
their names for consideration to the Anoka County Board of Commissioners, the
appointing authority.
In appointing a manager to the Rice Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Statute
§103D.311 is also applicable. This statute requires a county board, upon the expiration
of a term, to appoint managers for a watershed district from a list of persons nominated
jointly or severally by the towns and municipalities within the district if a list(s) is
submitted 60 days before the mangers term expires or the county board may appoint any
manager from towns and municipalities that fail to submit a list. In order for the county
to accept nominations for the expiring term, they must be received by November 18,
2021.
At the Monday, October 25th City Council meeting, Lino Lakes resident, Scott Robinson
(8179 4th Avenue), spoke at open mike and informed the Council that he has submitted an
application form to Anoka County and is interested in serving on the Rice Creek
Watershed District Board of Managers.
Based on discussions with other municipalities who wish to have representation on the
Rice Creek Watershed Board of Managers, the cities of Circle Pines and Blaine will also
be nominating an individual. The cities of Centerville, Lexington and Spring Lake Park
have indicated that they will support nominees from a jointly submitted list.
In the past, the City Council has chosen not to exercise its authority under M.S.
§103D.311 to submit a list of nominees to fill the vacancy from which the County must
appoint, but forwarded a recommendation for appointment or reappointment to the
County. To help ensure the County considers a Lino Lakes nominee, staff is
recommending jointly submitting a list with surrounding communities.
A draft resolution submitting a list of nominees to Anoka County for consideration is
included.
Requested Council Direction
Staff is seeking Council direction on the Rice Creek Watershed District appointment.

WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
Work Session Item 7
Date: November 1, 2021
To: City Council
From: John Swenson, Public Safety Director
Re: 2022 Police Division Staffing
Background
The Police Division currently has 26 police personnel with a budgeted authorized police
staffing of 28. Of the current 26 police personnel we have one Police Sergeant assigned
to light duty stemming from a work related injury, one officer on FMLA leave, and three
recently hired police personnel in various stages of the field training program; thus the
Police Division continues to have staffing challenges.
We continue to meet our minimum staffing levels for police patrols with overtime and we
anticipate one of the recently hired police officers will complete their training in
December and a second completing their training in January 2022. We also anticipate the
employee will return from FMLA by the end of November.
Hiring of police officers continues to be challenging for all police agencies in Minnesota
and we also face these challenges.
In an effort to be proactive in addressing some of these hiring challenges, I propose that
we delay the hiring of the 28th police officer until July 1, 2022. This delay will provide
funding to:
1. Hire a third CSO.
2. Provide funding to contract with individuals to conduct police and firefighter
backgrounds.
There would be no additional funding requests for 2022 as part of this proposal.
Hire Third CSO
As we have noted in previous discussions, we have had success hiring and retaining
police officers that have served as CSOs with our department. Often times our CSOs
have grown up in the community and have long standing relationships that have proven
to be an asset to the City and resulted in staff members that have stayed long term.
We currently are in the process of hiring a CSO due the promotion of Samantha Bergeron
from CSO to Police Officer this summer. We have two strong candidates for the CSO
vacancy and both candidates serve in volunteer roles with our organization and grew up
in the Lino Lakes community. In an effort to continue with the success we have
experienced utilizing the CSO program as a feeder program for Police Officers, I would
like to bring both of these candidates on as part-time CSOs. Both of these CSO
candidates are enrolled in academic programs to meet the educational requirements to
become a police officer in Minnesota.
Our current CSO is currently taking college courses to be POST eligible in late June of
2022. This CSO continues to perform at a level that would make him a strong candidate
to be promoted to Police Officer when he finishes his academic requirements to become
the 28th police officer for our community in the summer 2022.
Contracting out for police and firefighter background investigations
The process of hiring police officers in Minnesota has become extremely competitive
over the last 2 years. During our previous hiring processes we have found that we are
often racing other metro agencies for high quality police officer candidates.
The background investigations portion of our hiring process has proven to be problematic
for our agency. In the last two hiring processes we have identified police officer
candidates and moved them on to the background investigation portion of the process
only to lose them to other agencies that were further along in the process than us or
completed their backgrounds before us.
Our background investigations are currently conducted by our Police Investigators and
their work on background investigations is secondary to their criminal investigative case
load.
We have learned that some agencies are working with retired police investigators and
contract with these individuals to solely complete background investigations for police
officer and firefighter candidates at a rate of $35 per hour (no benefits). These contracted
background investigators do not have any criminal investigative load; therefore, the
background investigations are completed faster.
With the anticipated increase hiring of firefighters in 2022 coupled with the on-going
police officer hiring this is an opportunity to determine if contracting out for background
investigations is a viable option for Lino Lakes with no increase in the requested 2022
budget.
Staff is requesting Council direction on:
1. Delaying the hiring of 28th police officer to July 1, 2022.
2. Hiring a third CSO for the first half of 2022 and return to CSO staffing of 2 when
the 28th police officer is hired.
3. Contract with retired police investigators to conduct police and firefighter
backgrounds as part of our hiring process.
There would be no increase in the 2022 requested budget for the Police Division to move
forward with this proposal.
