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Opportunity exists to redevelop both underutilized property and outdated land uses.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 along with partners Ron Clark Construction and Bader Development have
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 acre 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 is attempting to consolidate multiple properties into an
integrated development pattern.
Anderson is seeking City input on goals for redevelopment of the site. The planning session will
be an opportunity to work through concept level development options for the site including, but
not limited to density, layout, and access. The discussion will be led by Pope Architects.
Results of the meeting will determine next steps for the development team.
