NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lino
Lakes hereby makes the following findings:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The proposed development application has been found to be consistent with the
policies and recommendations of the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan including:
a. Land Use Plan.
b. Transportation Plan.
1
c. Utility(Sewer and Water) Plans.
d. Local Water Management Plan.
e. Capital Improvement Plan.
f. Policy Plan.
g. Natural Environment Plan.
The proposed earth moving and stockpiling is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan. The grading plan and earth moving operation have been reviewed by City staff
and was submitted to the Rice Creek Watershed District(RCWD)for review. The
excavation and filling will not have a negative impact on land use, transportation,
utilities or the environment..
2. The proposed development application is compatible with present and future land
uses of the area.
The proposed earth moving and stockpiling is compatible with present and future
land uses of the area. Present land use is vacant industrial and future land use is
industrial. Earth moving is allowed in all zoning districts with conditions.
3. The proposed development application conforms to performance standards herein and
other applicable City Codes.
The proposed earth moving and stockpiling conforms to the performance standards of
the City Code with conditions as established. The plans have been reviewed by City
staff and were submitted to the RCWD for review.
4. Traffic generated by a proposed development application is within the capabilities of
the City when:
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. 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.
2
e. 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.
f. 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.
g. The LOS requirements in paragraphs a. to d. 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 Dept. 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.
A traffic study was not completed due to the fact that the work only includes earth
moving and stockpiling for future site needs. Traffic generated by the earth moving
and stockpiling operations will not permanently change the traffic on Phelps Road or
the Otter Lake Service Road nor will it permanently impact the intersections with
Otter Lake Road at this time. A traffic study will be required when the site is
developed
Phelps Road is a city street and was constructed to city standards from Otter Lake
Road to the eastern property line of the site. Phelps Road is a 9-ton design, but
during spring road restrictions, a 5-ton limit applies. The design of the Otter Lake
Service Road is unknown and should be restricted to 5-ton weight due to current
conditions of the road Truck traffic will be limited to these weight restrictions. The
hauling, dumping and grading of excavated materials shall occur within the project
boundaries as shown on the plans.
It is anticipated that the Otter Lake Service Road will need to be upgraded with future
development.
5. The proposed development shall be served with adequate and safe water supply.
The proposed earth moving and stockpiling does not require a water service as
proposed Municipal water main is located along Phelps Road and can be extended
to the property should the applicant wish to connect in the future.
3
6. The proposed development shall be served with an adequate and safe sanitary sewer
system.
The proposed earth moving and stockpiling does not require service by sanitary
sewer. Municipal sanitary sewer is located along is located along Phelps Road and
can be extended to the property should the applicant wish to connect in the future.
7. The proposed development shall not result in the premature expenditures of City
funds on capital improvements necessary to accommodate the proposed development.
The proposed earth moving and stockpiling operation will not expend City funds.
8. Fire prevention and fighting equipment acceptable to the Board of Fire Underwriters
and City Council shall be readily available when any activity involving the handling
or storage of flammable or explosive materials is carried on.
The proposed earth moving and stockpiling operation does not involve any activity
handling or storing flammable or explosive materials.
