A. Lino Lakes Development Final Plat for White Pines Senior Living
Katie Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. City Council approved the
preliminary plat for White Pines Senior Living and the final plat is consistent with the
preliminary plat. The approved final plat will go to the City Council on November 24th,
2014 in order to expedite construction. Ms. Larsen addressed the Board concerns
regarding a right turn lane onto 77th Street from Lake Drive. With input from City
engineers and the police department, it was determined that adding a turn lane onto 77th
avenue from Lake Drive would be cost prohibitive since they found no substantial traffic
generation from the new development. The developer suggested designating their parking
lot as “exit only” on 77th Street to divert incoming traffic. Council members and City
staff felt this would be a sufficient response to the concern.
Jamey Bowe, River Valley Architects, 1403 122nd Street, Chippewa Falls, WI, was
present for questions. The developer is eager to move forward with the project and start
construction.
Board discussion included:
-The possible impacts on bikers and pedestrians if a right turn lane is not added on Lake
Drive.
-Engineer recommendations at the previous City Council meeting.
-Whether parking is adequate for guests and visitors. Plan exceeds minimum
requirements for parking stalls.
-Whether the parking lot could be expanded if the building was ever sold resulting in a
change of use with higher parking needs. It was ascertained that any new parking
requirements would be the responsibility of the new owner, should such a situation arise.
-Extending the sidewalk to existing sidewalk and striping the intersection on Marketplace
with a crosswalk.
-Possibility of traffic from nearby houses being routed through the White Pines parking
lot.
-Inquired on status of a “No right turn on red” sign on Market Place as it intersects with
Lake Drive. Developer discussed possibility with County and they did not feel that was
needed.
