8. ACTION ITEMS
A. Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit for Centennial Middle School for
Tennis Court Relocation and Parking Lot Addition
Ms. Larsen presented the staff report.
Centennial Middle School is located at 399 Elm Street. The applicant is proposing to
relocate the tennis court and a parking lot. The property is zoned PSP, Public and Semi-
Public and allows for schools (public and private) with a conditional use permit. Any
change involving a structural alteration requires an amendment to the conditional use
permit.
The Board requested clarification on fencing material, snow removal, and the necessity of
the storm water pond. Ms. Larsen stated that stormwater management is needed for the
hard surface. Mr. Kohler expressed concern for the children in the area and questioned if
there would be a fence around the pond. Ms. Larsen stated they do not put fences around
stormwater ponds.
Vice Chair Root invited Mr. Justin Nielsen with Larson Engineering to the podium to add
any information to the discussion. Mr. Nielsen said everything had been covered and
there were no further questions from the Board.
Vice Chair Root opened the public hearing at 6:45 p.m.
Ms. Amy Peterson, 301 Elm Street, Lino Lakes MN 55014, stated it would be ideal if
there were any alternatives to the placement of the tennis court and parking lot. She said
there are a couple of homes with private water wells and wanted to know how they could
be impacted by the stormwater runoff. She also requested that all privacy screening
remain in any further discussion regarding this project. Ms. Peterson expressed concern
over additional noise there could be by adding the extra parking spaces.
Ms. Katherine Carlson, 321 Elm Street, Lino Lakes, MN 55014, expressed how she did
not think the movement of the tennis court and parking lot was a good idea in order to get
Planning & Zoning Board

additional parking spaces. She is concerned the lights will be on year around, vehicles
will be parked abutting her back yard and there will be noise from snow plowing and
garbage removal. She also expressed her wishes for the fencing to be taken care of
because it had not been in prior years. She would like to keep the tennis courts where
they are and move the parking lot elsewhere.
Mr. Evenson moved to close the public hearing. Motion seconded by Mr. Vojtech.
Motion carried 5-0. The public hearing was closed at 6:51 p.m.
Staff and the Board answered the public hearing questions as follows:
• The City requirements are being met for noise and lighting. Ms. Larsen added it
could be recommended that snow plowing only be permitted at certain times to
cut down on noise in the early hours of the morning or late at night.
• Traffic will only be increased by five cars due to the addition of only five parking
spaces.
• Fencing will not be removed from the plan as it is part of the plan and an official
document.
• Plants will be placed on the other side of the fence to create a buffer to the
parking spaces.
• Private wells will not be affected by the stormwater ponds. It is a requirement for
the flat surface and all requirements have been met.
Vice Chair Root asked Mr. Nielsen if it were possible to move the parking lot further
from the homes. Mr. Nielsen stated the parking lot is being relocated due to vehicles
unsafely parking in the bus loading/unloading area. The proximity to the fields will
provide safer mobility to and from the fields. Vice Chair Root asked if it could be moved
further to the north. Mr. Nielsen stated there are underground utilities in that area and
some well-developed trees that would be affected. Mr. Grochala added what utilities were
present and the extra cost to the school for excavation. Mr. Nielsen also added that the
fence is proposed as wood but there is an additional bid for maintenance free vinyl
fencing.
Mr. Evenson asked if the lights would be on all night and Mr. Nielsen did not know. It
will be added as a condition in the conditional use.
Mr. Kohler questioned if evergreen trees could be put in near the fencing to minimize the
light and sound. Mr. Nielsen stated there would be Black Hill spruce trees, Cranberry
shrubs and Isanti dogwood trees providing screening.
Ms. Carlson requested the school move the parking to another area and Mr. Nielsen
stated the area she indicated was already a soccer field.
Ms. Stewart expressed the lights should remain on for safety reasons. Mr. Grochala
stated the school and public safety would be aware of any safety concerns. He thought it

would be possible to turn them off when there are no events but also questioned if by
doing so would attract nuisances. He said it could be discussed with public safety and a
recommendation could be given to City Council.
Mr. Evenson moved to approve the conditional use permit subject to conditions listed in
the staff report and the condition for a time limit be placed on the lighting. This will be
reviewed by Public Safety. Motion seconded by Mr. Kohler. Motion carried 5-0.
B. Watermark PUD Concept Plan for Amendment #4-Land Use Plan
Ms. Larsen presented the staff report.
Watermark is a 372-acre master planned residential community consisting of 692 single
family lots and 172 townhome units totaling 864 housing units. Lennar is proposing an
amendment to the north end of the Watermark PUD Development Stage Plan and Land
Use Plan to modify lot sizes and housing product types to address demand changes in the
housing market. The proposed amendment does not change any architectural
requirements or the total number of housing units.
Mr. Vojtech requested clarification if the tot lot would be private and if a dog park is
included. Ms. Larsen thought the tot lot would be public and the Board could make it a
recommendation or requirement for the dog park.
Mr. Kohler addressed the responsibility for the private roads. Ms. Larsen confirmed they
are private and would be maintained by the HOA.
Mr. Josh Metzer from Lennar, 16305 36th Avenue, Plymouth, MN 55446 stated the
reason for the plan change was due to the Villa product not performing and the need for
single family homes at a lower price point. He understood the preference from the City
was to have fewer townhomes from a density perception and more green space. This is
the reason for the reduction of townhomes in their preferred Plan A. This plan also
affords 12.6 acres of open space with a tot lot in the plans. He stated the open space
would be maintained by the HOA unless the City wanted to take it over for a park.
Mr. Vojtech stated due to the small price difference he thought the townhomes could be
taken out completely and Venture homes be put in. Mr. Metzer said they could, but the
townhomes are selling very well. He also said if the townhomes go, then the open space
will go with it.
Vice Chair Root concluded there is more favor for the additional open space and with the
possible dog park and tot lot. Two plans were presented, and the majority preference was
for Plan A. Vice Chair Root advised the Board that they were merely providing feedback
at this time. Some of the concerns were to have more single-family homes and to keep
with 55 square foot and above lot sizes, more green space other than behind the
Planning & Zoning Board

townhomes would be ideal, and building more houses rather than townhomes due to the
small difference in price point was conveyed.

Subdivision Ordinance
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 in this
staff report.
Blocks and Lots
The proposed preliminary plat contains Lot 1, Block 1 and Outlot A, Milestones
Addition.
Parcel Acres Purpose
Lot 1, Block 1 1.93 acres Commercial day care
Outlot A 2.19 acres Future commercial
development
Lilac Street
Road Right-of-Way 0.41 acres Road right-of-way
TOTAL 4.53 acres
Since there is no underlying preliminary plat and development plans for Outlot A, the
outlot will need to be preliminary and final platted in the future.
The preliminary plat notes an overlap in the legal description with the two parcels noted
on the northeast corner of the survey. The owner will quit claim deed the overlap to the
north property owners to eliminate the overlap.
Staff Comments:

1. All plan sheets shall be revised to reflect the correct lot lines after the quit claim
deeds have been recorded.
Streets and Alleys
CSAH 12 (Apollo Drive) is an A-Minor Expander County road. Per the 2001 Joint
Powers Agreement between Anoka County and the City of Lino Lakes, access to Apollo
Drive shall be limited to four (4) access points. These four (4) access points currently
exist at 579 Apollo Drive, 519 Apollo Drive, 7641 Lake Drive, and 7621 Lake Drive. No
additional access points or driveway are allowed onto Apollo Drive in this section.
Therefore, access to the site will be from Lilac Street.
Lilac Street is a local road. Consistent with Anoka County access management and the
August 2020 CSAH 23 Preliminary Traffic Analysis, no additional access points are
allowed onto CSAH 23 (Lake Drive). Therefore, Lilac Street will not connect to CSAH
23 (Lake Drive).
There are no other public roads being proposed with the development. A shared
driveway from Lilac Street serving Lot 1 and Outlot A is proposed. A shared driveway
agreement will be required.
Easements
Standard drainage and utility easements at least 10 feet wide have been provided over the
lot lines and stormwater management facilities.
Public Land Dedication
The City will collect the following cash fee in lieu of land dedication for commercial
development for final plat Lot 1, Block 1 Milestones Addition.
Milestones Addition
1.93 acres x $2,600 per acre = $5,018
Site and Building Plan Review
Site Plan
This site and building plan review is only for Lot 1, Block 1, Milestones Addition and the
proposed 16,941sf (15,210sf first floor footprint + 1,731sf second floor) commercial day
care. Future development of Outlot A will require a separate land use application for
preliminary plat, site & building plan review, and final plat.
The building is located on the east half of the lot with parking lot in the front. A shared
driveway along Lilac Street provides access to Lot 1 and Outlot A. Three (3) play areas
5
are located adjacent to the building enclosed with a 5ft high black metal picket fence.
Staff has completed a full site and building plan review of the project. The attached
applicant’s narrative provides additional information. Overall, the proposed site plan and
building meets ordinance and performance standard requirements unless otherwise noted.

Per Sheet A3.3, the rooftop mechanical equipment is screened by 3’4” high parapets.
Per Sheet A0.2, an automatic sprinkler system shall be provided throughout the building
for fire suppression.
Outdoor Lighting
Per City Code 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. Per Page M, Photometric Plan, no
light sources exceed 1.0 foot candle along Apollo Drive and Lilac Street and are
compliant. No light sources exceed 0.4fc along the east lot line. Light sources do max at
4.4 foot candle within the shared parking lot because a light pole is located in the island
on the lot line which is acceptable for safety purposes.
The parking lot light poles are 20ft tall on 3ft bases for a total height of 23 ft which is less
the 45ft maximum allowed. The parking lot light fixtures are down lit and cutoff as
required by city code. Decorative downlit wall mounted lights are provided on the
exteriors of the building.
The outdoor lighting meets performance standards.

Access Agreement.
Grading Plan and Stormwater Management
Per the City Engineer Memo dated May 3, 2023:
Stormwater from the existing 4.22 acre vacant lot area drains to storm sewer along
Apollo Drive (CSAH 12), which eventually drains to a city maintained pond in the
northwest quadrant of the Apollo Drive (CSAH 12) and Lilac Street intersection.
The project is proposed to add approximately 1.02 acres of impervious surface for the
childcare facility, parking lot, and entrance drive, according to the Stormwater
Management Plan. The applicant is proposing two infiltration basins to meet the runoff
rates and water quality standards.
A geotechnical evaluation report prepared by Chosen Valley Testing, Inc. was submitted
with the application. The report included soil borings which indicated that the soils in the
area consist of poorly graded sand with silt. Groundwater was not observed in the
borings.
The applicant used a HydroCAD model based on the Atlas 14, 24-hour storms to design
the storm sewer and infiltration basins. The proposed improvements are designed to
reduce site runoff rates for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year rainfall events. Runoff rates for the
10-day snow melt event were not provided at this time and are not required as basin
outlets are below the 100-year HWL.

Public Utilities
The day care facility will be municipally served by a 21” sanitary sewer main and a 12”
watermain located along Apollo Drive.
The subject site is located in Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025) and Sanitary District 2
(Sub-District 2B). Flow from this area is collected southward to MCES Meter M211 and
Gravity Interceptor 8361 along North Road which passes southwest through Circle Pines.
Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards
The Environmental Coordinator and Environment Board reviewed the tree preservation
and landscaping requirements. The following comments are from the April 26, 2023
Environmental Board staff report. Additional comments are provided in the attached May
1, 2023 memo.
A tree survey was performed that identified:
The majority of the trees planned for removal are in the Basic Use Area, not in
Environmentally Sensitive Areas, and will not require mitigation trees.
Several trees marked for saving are invasive. Siberian elms that should be removed.
Mitigation trees will not be required for these removals.
Updates required to the tree survey and preservation plan will be included in the
recommendations.
There will be 7 mitigation trees required. The 4 existing trees that will be preserved
provide 12 trees worth of credit. These 4 trees to preserve will require tree protection
zones to be installed in accordance with the City Tree Protection Fence Detail.
No additional mitigation trees will be required.
Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards have been met.
Open Areas Landscape Standards
Required for 40,000 square feet of open space: 16 large trees
32 large shrubs
Provided: 31 large trees
56 large shrubs
Total Trees 133
Total Trees Removed 117
Total Trees Saved 16
9
Open Areas Landscape Standards have been met.
Buffer and Screen Standards
The buffer and screen standards call for a 30-inch double triangulated row of plants for
the north parking lot perimeter.
There are 46 large shrubs planned for the north parking lot perimeter. These shrubs are
in a single row. A double triangulated row is needed to meet the requirement. It appears
that the requirement could be met by adjusting the placement of these 46 shrubs without
adding additional plants.
Buffer and Screen Standards have not been met.
Canopy Cover
Vehicular hardscape planned: 23,000 sq. ft.
Canopy cover requirement: 9,200 sq. ft.
Canopy cover provided: 9,450 sq. ft.
Canopy cover requirements have been met.
The Preliminary Plat for Milestones Addition shows a future parking lot west of the
proposed daycare facility. This would impact the placement of 4 trees currently
providing canopy cover. To account for future development of Outlot A in Milestones
Addition, it is recommended that these 4 trees be moved to areas that will not be
impacted by future construction. The entrance road and south infiltration basin seem to
have ample space to accommodate these 4 trees.
Foundation Landscaping
Staff estimated 340 linear feet of foundation that the standard will apply to.
Large Trees Large Shrubs (or equivalents)
Required 7 20
Provided 14 46
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 Turf Establishment Plan calls for Mn DOT 32-261 for the infiltration basins and Mn
DOT 25-131, a low-maintenance, salt, shade, and drought tolerant mix for the rest of the
turf on site. Mn DOT 32-261 should be changed to Mn DOT 33-261.
Six (6) inches of topsoil are planned for all turf establishment areas.
Category 3 erosion control blanket is noted for the areas with steeper slopes on the east
portion of the site. This should be updated to reflect the 2020 Mn DOT specifications to
ensure that there is no confusion. The City requires natural net erosion blanket.
Signage
A separate Sign Permit Application with detailed sign information is required for any
permanent or temporary signage.
Impervious Surface Coverage
The allowed maximum impervious surface coverage per lot in the GB, General Business
District is 75%. Per Sheet C2.1, Site Plan, Lot 1 has 52% impervious surface and is
compliant.
Traffic Study
In August 2020, Anoka County Highway Department completed a CSAH 23 Preliminary
Traffic Analysis from Lexington Avenue to Main Street. The analysis included the
intersection of CSAH 23 and Apollo Drive. The intersection currently operates at a Level
of Service (LOS) D and is expected to operate the same in 2040. Per the applicant’s
narrative, the daycare typically has 150 cars in the morning and 150 cars in the afternoon
during pick up and drop off. Drop off/Pick Up occurs typically from 7-8:30AM and 4-
6PM.
CSAH 12 (Apollo Drive) is an A-Minor Expander County road. Lilac Street west of the
site is a Major Collector road. Lilac Street south of the development is a local road. The
exiting road system can accommodate the traffic generated by the daycare.
Staff Comments:
1. Applicant shall provide a Level of Service analysis of the Apollo Drive (CSAH
12) and Lilac Street intersection with the final plat submittals. The analysis should
include existing and proposed conditions.
2. Future development of Outlot A may require a traffic study.
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)

Goals of the Transportation Plan are to ensure that street and roads are as safe as possible
and to reduce unnecessary traffic. CSAH 12 (Apollo Drive) is an A-Minor Expander
County road. Lilac Street west of the site is a Major Collector road. Lilac Street south of
the development is a local road. The exiting road system can accommodate the traffic
generated by the daycare. Future development of Outlot A may require a traffic study.
Sanitary Sewer and Water Supply Plan
The commercial day care facility will be municipally served by a 21” sanitary sewer main
and a 12” watermain located along Apollo Drive.
The subject site is located in Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025) and Sanitary District 2
(Sub-District 2B). Flow from this area is collected southward to MCES Meter M211 and
Gravity Interceptor 8361 along North Road which passes southwest through Circle Pines.
13
The sanitary sewer and water supply systems have capacity for the proposed
development.
Findings of Fact
Preliminary Plat
Per 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.
Milestones Addition 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 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.
14
Milestones Addition is consistent with infill policies. The development is within the
current Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025). The cost of utility 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 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.
Milestones Addition meets the requirements for level of service (LOS). In August 2020,
Anoka County Highway Department completed a CSAH 23 Preliminary Traffic Analysis
from Lexington Avenue to Main Street. The analysis included the intersection of CSAH 23
and Apollo Drive. The intersection currently operates at a Level of Service (LOS) D and
is expected to operate the same in 2040. CSAH 12 (Apollo Drive) is an A-Minor
Expander County road. Lilac Street west of the site is a Major Collector road. Lilac
Street south of the development is a local road. The exiting road system can
15
accommodate the traffic generated by the daycare. Future development of Outlot A may
require a traffic study.
The proposed Level of Service does not degrade by more than one (1) LOS; therefore, the
development is not considered premature and the traffic generated by the development is
within the capabilities of the City’s road system. 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.
Milestones Addition will have an adequate water supply. The commercial day care
facility will be municipally served by a 12” watermain located along Apollo Drive. The
water supply system has capacity for the proposed development.
(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.
Milestones Addition will be served with an adequate waste disposal system. The
development will be municipally served by a 21” sanitary sewer main along Apollo
Drive. The subject site is located in Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025) and Sanitary
District 2 (Sub-District 2B). Flow from this area is collected southward to MCES Meter
M211 and Gravity Interceptor 8361 along North Road which passes southwest through
Circle Pines.

Milestones Addition & Lil Explorers Childcare Center Engineering Review
•Stormwater Management
Stormwater from the existing 4.22 acre vacant lot area drains to storm sewer along Apollo
Drive (CSAH 12), which eventually drains to a city maintained pond in the northwest
quadrant of the Apollo Drive (CSAH 12) and Lilac Street intersection.
The project is proposed to add approximately 1.02 acres of impervious surface for the
childcare facility, parking lot, and entrance drive, according to the Stormwater Management
Plan. The applicant is proposing two infiltration basins to meet the runoff rates and water
quality standards.
A geotechnical evaluation report prepared by Chosen Valley Testing, Inc. was submitted
with the application. The report included soil borings which indicated that the soils in the
area consist of poorly graded sand with silt. Groundwater was not observed in the borings.
The applicant used a HydroCAD model based on the Atlas 14, 24-hour storms to design the
storm sewer and infiltration basins. The proposed improvements are designed to reduce site
runoff rates for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year rainfall events. Runoff rates for the 10-day snow
melt event were not provided at this time and are not required as basin outlets are below the
100-year HWL.
Pre- and Post- Development Discharge Rates (cfs)
Condition 2-Year 10-Year 100-Year 10-Day Snowmelt
Existing 0.67 2.82 9.56 Not provided
Proposed 0.20 1.07 7.18 Not provided
Comments:
1. (5/3/2023) See Comment 1 under Grading regarding infiltration basin location
and grading.
2.(5/3/2023) Applicant to call out surface material being used in play areas. If an

property. Private structures shall not be placed in the right-of-way.
4. (5/3/2023) The City of Lino Lakes does not allow roof drains to be connected
directly to storm sewer. Roof drains need to have a 6-inch air gap before
draining to the storm sewer. Applicant to provide detail on plans.
5. (5/3/2023) Infiltration rate testing is needed to ensure sufficient infiltration
capacity is present in site soils. Double ring infiltrometer or modified Phillip-
Dunne testing is recommended to determine these rates. Testing must be
completed prior to final plat approval.
6. (5/3/2023) Applicant to verify the constructability of CBMH-4. The pipes
proposed to come in at an acute angle may require a large diameter drainage
structure to ensure sufficient concrete is provided between pipe openings.

Re: Environmental Board Comments/April 26th, 2023/Lil Explorers Childcare Center
The Environmental Board, at their April 26th, 2023 meeting, had the following
recommendations for Lil Explorers Childcare Center:
1. The Tree Survey must be updated to match the Tree Inventory. The Preservation
and Mitigation standards will be applied to the updated Tree Survey. Additional
mitigation and preservation trees may be required as a result of this update.
2. The following updates are needed to the Tree Survey and Preservation Plan:
The Tree Mitigation and Preservation standards have not been met. The notes are
explanatory only.
3.The City Tree Protection Fence Detail must be added to the Details (Sheet C10).
All trees planned for preservation will require tree protection fence to be installed
in accordance with this detail. Also, the Tree Protection Zones (TPZs) must be
shown on the Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan (Sheet C5). The TPZs
Environmental Memo
Attachment 3: Environmental Coordinator Memo dated May 1, 2023
Page 2
must be in place prior to issuance of grading permit and will be reviewed by staff
concurrently with inspection of sediment and erosion control measures.
4. Canopy Cover: To account for future development of Outlot A in Milestones
Addition, it is recommended that the 4 trees along the west perimeter of the
parking lot be moved to areas that will not be impacted by future construction.
The entrance road and south infiltration basin seem to have ample space to
accommodate these 4 trees.
5.Final placement of fire hydrants along west parking lot perimeter may necessitate
relocation of 2 trees in the islands.
6. Buffer and Screen: The north perimeter of the parking lot requires a double,
triangulated row of plants. It appears that the standard could be met by adjusting
the placement of the 46 large shrubs shown into the required configuration.
7. Maintain a 10 foot radius free of shrubs around tree trunks on north parking lot
perimeter to prevent competition.
8. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan must be submitted that meets
requirements. This will include a concrete washout location, a note that
stabilization must be completed within 7 days of construction activity ceasing
(due to proximity to impaired waters), and contact info and credentials for the
project inspector.
9. The Turf Establishment Plan must be updated to match the seeding on the
Landscape Plan. Verify that correct Mn DOT seed mix numbers are used.
10. The Turf Establishment Plan calls for Mn DOT Seed Mixture 32-261. This
should be changed to Mn DOT 33-261.
11. Category 3 erosion control blanket is noted for the areas with steeper slopes on
the east portion of the site. This should be updated to reflect the 2020 Mn DOT
specification numbers to ensure that there is no confusion. The City requires
natural net erosion blanket.
12. Verify that the trash enclosure is properly sized to accommodate both trash and
recycling containers.
13. Applicant may want to consider organics recycling for this site. Assistance and
grants to establish a recycling program on site may be available through Anoka
County’s AnokaBizRecycle Program.
Attachment 4: Anoka County Highway Department Letter dated May 1, 2023
Project Description
Milestones Education is purchasing the 4.22 acre property and will be dividing it into 2 lots with the
intent to put a childcare facility on roughly half the property. Milestones is a new company that is
owned by operators that have owned/opened 15 centers across the Minneapolis Metro Area. We
have done a lot of building designs and are using our newest design in Lino Lakes which is a very
attractive yet functional building for our use.
Our facilities accommodate 189 children with roughly 40 employees. We have oversized classrooms,
full commercial kitchen and indoor gym facilities for the kids. Our buildings also have large
playrgounds for each age specific group. We typically will have 150 cars in the morning and 150 cars
in the afternoon during pick up and drop off. Drop off/Pick Up occurs typically from 7-830 in the AM
and 4-6PM in the afternoon. I anticipate very little impact to traffic with our location.
Item 104 - Milestones project and replat will be consistent with the neighboring busineses and will
take the current vacant parcel and make it more marketable for other businesses (restaurant, office).
We are excited for the project and don’t see this being premature to the comprehensive plan for the
area.
Cost Estimates
We have a budget for Lino Lakes of $53,000 from our landscape firm. Our projected costs for other
items have not been provided as we will wait for initial city reviews prior to submitting out for full
bid/proposals from subcontractors.

PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
AGENDA ITEM 8A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Katie Larsen, City Planner
P & Z MEETING DATE: May 10, 2023
REQUEST: Sign Ordinance-Dynamic Display Sign Size
CASE NUMBER: N/A
APPLICANTS: City of Lino Lakes
OWNERS: Multiple
BACKGROUND
The amended City Code Chapter 1010: Signs ordinance went into effect May 4, 2023. The
amendment included increasing the size of dynamic display signs from 20sf to 32sf with an 8
second hold. Staff provides the following additional research regarding electronic message
centers (e.g. dynamic display signs).
ANALYSIS
The Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing on February 8, 2023. Public comments
included the request to increase the size of dynamic display signs from 20sf to 50sf. Staff
recommended an increase to 32sf. The Board recommended approval of the sign ordinance with
20sf and that staff research dynamic signs and bring back information to the Board at a later date.
After the Planning & Zoning Board meeting, Paul Selbitschka, owner of Precision Tune Auto
Care, contacted staff and asked about increasing the dynamic sign size to 32sf. At the March 6,
2023 Work Session, Council agreed to increase the size to 32sf with an 8 second hold. This
change is reflected in the revised ordinance.
Attachment 1 is a table comparing electronic message centers requirements in neighboring
communities. Sign type, sign size, EMC size, hold times, height, and brightness vary from
community to community. Some requirements are the same and some are very different. In
general, sign size requirements are a community preference.
Staff also researched aspect ratios and did not find any language requirements in neighboring
community sign ordinances.
RECOMMENDATION
2
Staff will continue to monitor dynamic display sign sizes.

AGENDA ITEM 8B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Katie Larsen, City Planner
P & Z MEETING DATE: May 10, 2023
REQUEST: Text Amendment-Backyard Chickens
CASE NUMBER: N/A
APPLICANTS: City of Lino Lakes
OWNERS: Multiple
BACKGROUND
Planning and Zoning Board Vice Chair Root and Member Isaac Wipperfurth requested a
discussion item regarding backyard chickens be added to the agenda.
ANALYSIS
The current City zoning ordinance allows for farm animals such as chickens on rurally zoned
properties (R, Rural or R-X, Rural Executive). There are over 8,000 acres of rurally zoned
property in the City that allows for farm animals. Attached is the City’s zoning map.
As you know, the City adopted its new zoning ordinance on January 5, 2023. During the 24
month update process, there was no interest by the City Council to revise the zoning ordinance to
allow for chickens in other zoning districts.
Coincidently, there was a recent article in the Star Tribune regarding backyard chickens.
RECOMMENDATION
None. Discussion item only.

Raising backyard chickens requires
money, time and pluck. Here's how to do
it
Owning a backyard flock of chickens means nimbly navigating
municipal rules, biosecurity concerns and about a decade of loving
care.
By Christopher Vondracek (https://www.startribune.com/christopher-vondracek/9173241/) Star

APRIL 30, 2023 — 2:00PM
Only once did the chickens fly — or fence-hop — into Nancy Engberg's neighbor's yard in
north Minneapolis.
And no, it wasn't just to cross the road to get to the other side.
"I watched them go over," Engberg said, describing a mildly alarming incident early in
her tenure tending to an urban coop. "Otherwise, they were pretty happy at home."
But other tasks awaited Engberg when she purchased her backyard flock of hens more
than a decade ago. Even today — after national egg prices soared in December to more
than $4 a dozen, prompting more people to consider becoming poulterers — Engberg
warns it's not for the casually interested. It's not just a matter of throwing up a coop and
purchasing chicks from Fleet Farm to source DIY eggs, the experienced flock owner said.
"This really is a hobby for animal lovers," said Engberg, who works for Minneapolis
Animal Care and Control by day. "Feed costs money. The initial outlay for the coop and
things ... it's not easy."
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, so long as you're prepared to stick out this
journey into aviculture. Here are some tips to help your flock take flight.

5/1/23, 2:26 PM Raising backyard chickens requires money, time and pluck. Here's how to do it
https://www.startribune.com/raising-backyard-chickens-requires-money-time-and-pluck-heres-how-to-do-it/600271307/2/5
The backyard chicken renaissance lifted off the ground — awkwardly, slightly, like a
prairie chicken flapping into a tree — during the pandemic. Food supply lines tapered to
a trickle. Anxieties abounded about the origin of meat to milk to eggs. In response,
communities in Minnesota adopted backyard-flock-friendly ordinances.
Hopkins passed an ordinance — after initial rebuffing — in August 2020. International
Falls voted down an ordinance. Mankato is still mulling one. But Thief River Falls, in the
heart of the commercial turkey belt, asks for just $25, viewing an educational video and
passing a University of Minnesota-administered test.
The work has rousted Abby Schuft, a poultry educator with University of Minnesota
Extension. In addition to working with the commercial industry, Schuft educates would-
be buyers about the logistics of owning a backyard flock.
This often involves dampening expectations.
"If you don't take care of your dog and do the minimum maintenance, like a rabies shot
or a kennel cough vaccine, there's going to be a risk," Schuft said. "It's the same with
birds."
Would-be bird owners might dream of waking to roosters and gathering golden-brown
eggs with orange yokes. But Schuft said to buttress such aspirations against reality. In
Minnesota, those birds need warmth much of the year. And roosters? Many cities don't
even allow them. (Minneapolis actually does, but you'll need written consent from at
least 80% of your neighbors within 100 feet your property, since the cockerel might
subject them to some sunrise cock-a-doodle-doos.)
Most importantly, Schuft said, backyard birds deserve freedom from hunger, thirst,
discomfort, injury, disease and distress. Flock-minders should also allow birds to express
normal behaviors.
But there are concerns for the bird-owner, too.
Around the cluck care
Birds can also be vectors for disease. In 2021, the Minnesota Department of Health
counted 56 persons across the state infected with salmonella associated with live
poultry. And birds can also transfer disease to other birds.
Earlier this month, the first case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, which devastated
commercial turkey operations in Minnesota last year, came from a domesticated,
backyard flock of roughly 100 birds in Le Sueur County near the Minnesota River.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has found most cases of bird flu transmit to
domesticated flocks from wild, migratory birds. While commercial operations often
rigorously test birds, experts say the backyard flocks — which naturally live outdoors
and might mingle with other birds — need vigilance, too, to prevent the spread of fatal
viruses.

5/1/23, 2:26 PM Raising backyard chickens requires money, time and pluck. Here's how to do it
https://www.startribune.com/raising-backyard-chickens-requires-money-time-and-pluck-heres-how-to-do-it/600271307/3/5
Schuft hypothesizes while backyard flocks were susceptible to HPAI between 2014 and
2015, those owners had more experience keeping birds isolated from their wild
counterparts.
"In 2022, all of a sudden, this whole new audience has been [caught unaware] that their
birds are going to be compromised and are at-risk now," Schuft said. "They're not fully
understanding the risk of the migratory bird."
Owners should keep areas clean and avoid sharing equipment with neighbors. They
should also watch for odd behavior in their birds — such as tremors or paralyzed wings
— and report any concerns to a statewide hotline (833-454-0156).
The financial peck-ture
So, to recap: If farm-fresh eggs and feathered friends still sound appealing, you'll need a
coop (a couple hundred bucks), some nutritionally balanced food (about $30 per 50-
pound bag) and then the chicks (usually a couple dollars per, though it depends on the
breed and the hatchery).
Different breeds have different temperaments and egg color, if that matters to you. But a
good start is to go for heavier breeds that are better-equipped to handle Minnesota's cold
winters, like Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Ameraucana and Orpington.
Lastly, you'll also need city compliance. City of Minneapolis officials say there are 280
fowl permits right now, with another 70-plus in processing. Last year, the city took in 35
complaints of chickens making noise, emanating unpleasant smells or running around
loose. Folks in town also need to pay at least $30 for a one-year permit for six or fewer
hens. It's $105 to keep a rooster, but he's really only necessary if you want to make chicks
or are prepared to harvest eggs every day before they can develop into fetuses.
For the first few years, a hen will lay eggs frequently (maybe six a week). But for the
remainder of that bird's life, the egg production will slow down. And those birds need
care for their duration, sometimes a decade or more.
Find your wings
The labors of bird-owning didn't necessarily dim Engberg's affection for her flock. For
years, she cared for her birds, which laid eggs Engberg gifted to friends and neighbors.
After her last bird died in 2021, she saw an opportunity to stretch her own wings.
"I want to travel," Engberg said, explaining why she no longer owns a backyard flock.
Vacationing was tough to do all those years, when a flock of domesticated birds needed
her attention from her backyard.
Or at least on one occasion, her neighbor's side of the fence.
