FINDINGS OF FACT
Per City Code 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
1
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.
Milestones Addition is consistent with infill policies. The development is within the current
Utility Staging Area IA (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
2
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.
The applicant shall provide a Level of Service analysis of the Apollo Drive (CSAH 12) and Lilac
Street intersection. The proposed Level of Service is not anticipated to degrade the existing Level
of Service. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision shall have the
structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed subdivision or the
applicant/developer shall pay to correct any structural deficiencies. 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 IA (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.
