To: City Council
From: Jeff Karlson, City Administrator
Re: Land Use Workshop with Jay Squires
Background
During the interview process for civil legal services, newly appointed City Attorney Jay
Squires offered to conduct a few free workshops for the Council and staff.
Mr. Squires suggested starting with a land use workshop. Jay has significant experience
representing clients on land use issues and believes the Council and Planning Board
would gain a better understanding of land use matters.
Jay suggested one of the following dates: Thursday, September 13 or Thursday,
September 20.
Requested Council Direction
Determine if the Council can schedule the workshop on one of the above dates.

1. Community Solar Gardens – City Planner Larsen noted the application received 16
from an organization wishing to develop solar gardens in the city. The city has no 17
regulations in the area at this time. She introduced consultant to the City, Kendra Lindahl 18
of Landform, to review options. 19
20
Ms. Lindahl noted the Planning and Zoning report and pointed out some key areas for the 21
council. 22
- Energy is cheaper to subscribers, through different models; 23
- Xcel Energy is required to work on solar; Connexus is not required; 24
- There are limitations to the amount of solar produced; 25
- Solar facilities is exempt from taxation, but not a complete loss; 26
- Application does not identify specific sight but applicant requests that the city clarify 27
that it will allow solar gardens; 28
- City should consider such things as minimum lot size, amount of time a garden could 29
function; are certain areas more appropriate for this use; full screening is not possible but 30
there are things to help; is permit process appropriate. 31
32
Staff wishes to get feedback from the council on the possibility of moving forward with a 33
text amendment to allow solar gardens. 34
35
Mayor Reinert remarked that this isn’t an area where there is much common knowledge. 36
He wonders about the current state of the technology. 37
38
Council Member Stoesz remarked that there can be glare and that was discussed by the 39
Planning and Zoning Board. Ms. Lindahl explained that there are mitigations for the 40
glare situation but only to eliminate the damaging glare. 41
42
Council Member Manthey remarked that he has also heard stories about some types of 43
alternative energy and the amount of subsidies that can be involved to develop and he 44
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION June 4, 2018

wonders, if that weren’t available to energy companies, the impact it could have on their 45
development plans. Ms. Lindahl said her knowledge is exclusive to the fact that Xcel is 46
required to have solar. 47
48
Mayor Reinert said he’d like to see the numbers; statistics about Minnesota solar 49
community gardens (energy produced year around, economics on how the money flows 50
and what kickbacks are involved). The council can educate and then decide if they want 51
to see the topic again. 52
53
A representative of applicant, Lino Lakes Solar LLC, explained that the Minnesota 54
Legislature has provided this program so that people can use solar even if they don’t have 55
a home that facilitates it. These farms are developed by a third party but will be owned 56
by the subscribers. The energy is eventually purchased from the subscriber by Xcel at a 57
bonus to the subscriber. The “kick-back” is renewable energy credits that the energy 58
company is required to maintain. He explained the amount of energy generally produced 59
by the facilities over a period of twenty years after which time the farm is removed. 60
Some communities require a bond to ensure the funds will be there for demolition at the 61
end. 62
63
Council Member Rafferty asked the developer if there is a specific location in mind. The 64
representative pointed out on a map the area of Lake Amelia and Molitor Drive. 65
66
Mayor Reinert said he is requesting additional information. He added that one question 67
in his mind is locking up developable land. 68
69
Council Member Stoesz asked if individual solar panel units are allowed under city code. 70
Ms. Lindahl said that is allowed today. Ms. Lindahl added that she will work with the 71
applicant and get together as much additional information as possible. 72
73
Council Member Manthey added that he’d like more information on how communities 74
have reacted and have been impacted by this type of development. The developer 75
explained that he is heavily involved in this process as far as attending and participating 76
in government as they consider and plan for this type of activity and he has seen that 77
government restrictions and involvement are across the board; he would be happy to work 78
with Ms. Lindahl on best practices in that area. 79
80
Council Member Rafferty asked for locations of other facilities. 81
2. Comprehensive Plan Update – Community Development Director Grochala 82
reviewed his written report. He noted the April Open House and comments and 83
suggestions received. Input was generally positive. There were certain specific requests 84
(Noren and Lundgren family) that that will be individually evaluated. Mr. Grochala 85
added that the city has been officially granted an extension for submission to the 86
Metropolitan Council and he reviewed the proposed schedule going forward (as included 87
in the staff report). Staff will return at the July work session. The Mayor indicated that 88

he has requested additional information from staff and is awaiting that. Mayor Reinert 89
said he doesn’t want to see the process rushed as it’s too important. 90
3. Review 2017 Annual Audit, Redpath & Company, Ltd. - Finance Director 91
Cotton introduced Andy Hering of Redpath & Company to share the results of the 2017 92
City Audit. 93
94
Mr. Herring reviewed a PowerPoint presentation outlining: 95
96
- City received Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting (Mayor asked if any cities 97
that apply and pay $500 are ever turned down; Mr. Herring remarked that there could be a 98
situation of denial; Ms. Cotton added that part of the value of the process is that the City 99
gets comments and can use that for the future; 100
- Follow Up on 2016 Findings (internal controls and Minnesota Legal Compliance); 101
- Reports Issued by Auditor (internal control, legal compliance, letter to council); 102
- Opinion on Financial Statements – based on financial statements, audited in accordance 103
with accepted standards, given with reasonable assurance; 104
- Report on Internal Controls - the controls were found suitable; 105
- Report on Minnesota Legal Compliance; 106
- Communication to Those Charged with Governance. 107
108
The findings are as good as it gets for audit reporting. 109
110
Mr. Hering continued with his presentation: 111
- Pension liabilities; Mayor Reinert asked if there is a point where there is enough 112
information to show a level future; Public Safety Director Swenson explained that the 113
pension fund set up for the firefighters is administered by PERA but there is no state 114
money involved; 115
- Summary of Financial Activity – snapshot of 2017; 116
- General Fund Summary & 5 Year History; 117
- General Fund Monthly Cash Balance; 118
- Special Revenue Funds (special notice of the federal narcotics funds that arrived in 119
2017; Mayor Reinert asked that staff provide a list of how that money is being used); 120
- Debt Service Funds; 121
- Capital Funds; 122
- Enterprise Funds – Change in Net Position & Cash Flow. 123
124
Mr. Hering added that the audit process was with everything well prepared by staff. 125
126
Council Member Rafferty noted a past City contribution to the Beyond the Yellow 127
Ribbon group that was eventually found to be inappropriate use of public funds and he 128
wonders how that is best rectified; what plan would be appropriate to return that funding. 129
Mr. Herring didn’t offer a plan but concurred that the funds should go back. 130
131

Council Member Stoesz asked about the real cost of running a city for one year? Ms. 132
Cotton said it’s about context and those things that are unique to cities. 133
134
The council will see the report for action at an upcoming council meeting. 135
4. Watermark Update - Community Development Director Grochala asked to give 136
an update on the project with some requests coming forward soon to the council. He 137
reviewed the written staff report which outlines current status and what’s anticipated 138
going forward. Mayor Reinert asked for a rendering of current first phase plans. 139
140
On Monday night, the council will be asked to approve a grading and trunk improvement 141
agreement. Mayor Reinert asked how much that commits the city to the development 142
plan. Mr. Grochala explained that the city has approved a preliminary plat and the final 143
plat will be held against that; staff doesn’t anticipate any changes except conditions 144
needed to receive approval. 145
5. City Website Redesign – Administrator Karlson noted that the council had 146
requested additional information on what a new website design would bring to the City. 147
He noted the example of three cities included in the staff report. Some benefits are 148
mobile friendly applications, enhanced image slider, more navigation friendly, and more 149
opportunity to put information on front page. The question is if the council wishes to 150
spend additional funds to upgrade the City website. The cost difference is about $2,500 151
annually for three years, and it could be paid through cable television funds. If the 152
council wishes to move forward, he will execute a contract with Gov Office on the 153
project. 154
155
Mayor Reinert suggested that he believes a majority of the council supports an update but 156
he recalls that Council Member Maher (who is absent tonight) asked for additional 157
information and that turned out to be very helpful. She will be contacted by staff on the 158
matter. 159
160
Council Member Stoesz noted his support for the improvements; Council Members 161
Manthey and Rafferty did as well. Council Member Stoesz added that he wants to see a 162
previously discussed URL change as well. 163
6. Council Direction on Park Board Opening – Administrator Karlson reviewed 164
the written report on a vacancy that has occurred on the Park Board. 165
166
The council would like to see the applications again; there were many good candidates 167
that were interviewed. Mayor Reinert asked that a ballot sheet be provided at the next 168
meeting for council decision. 169

177

192
The council brought forward questions the changes requested in right/of/way, road width, 193
setbacks, 194
195
Mayor Reinert expressed concern that the plans are substandard as far as the city 196
requirements; a design change could address that. Community Director Grochala noted 197
other (conservation) developments in the City that have been treated similarly and the 198
benefits to being flexible. 199
200
Item 6C, Saddle Club, 4th Addition – City Planner Larsen reviewed a PowerPoint 201
presentation that included information on the proposal: 202
- Rezoning and PUD; 203
- Noted development of developer, Mr. Eibensteiner; Royal Oaks Reality is still in 204
place so staff is proceeding with consideration; 205
- 8 lot subdivision; last piece of the Foxborough Development; 206
- Density reviewed; 207
- Transportation connections and overall corridor; 208
- Concerns heard from residents that this will create a thoroughfare; staff attempted 209
to show why that shouldn’t happen; 210

Larsen reviewed a PowerPoint presentation including information on: 134
- Aerial view of proposed development; 135
- Council’s expressed concern about some of the PUD flexibility; staff spoke with 136
developer and they will work on lots to bring them to minimum standards; 137
- With that, staff would still like to review the proposal so as to hear any other concerns 138
or questions at this time; 139
- History on original Nature’s Refuge development; 140
- Existing site conditions, includng acreage, tree cover, wetland complex, rare plant and 141
animal species, 142
- Ditch and easement present; 143
- Density implications (low end of spectrum); 144
- Original site plan compared to current revised site plan; 145
- Trail location; 146
- Preliminary Plat (noted that it will be amended as previously discussed); 147

153
Planner Larsen noted that the council could elect to approve the actions, with the changes outlined 154
understood, or to table the matter. 155
156
Mayor Reinert thanked staff for the extra effort in responding to his concerns about a certain element of 157
the PUD proposed. He doesn’t think that flexibility is a bad thing, however, he sees that the City’s 158
ordinances are generally upheld and very few variances are allowed. He had concerns with the PUD 159
presented at the work session so he brought those forward. He’d like to have further discussion about 160
the City’s R1 zoning designation; is it still correct for this City? He sees the development is nice and 161

he appreciates the amendments proposed by the developer. He’d prefer to act on 1st reading of the 162

Planner Larsen reviewed a PowerPoint presentation including information on: 173
- Background on the development (developer passed away recently but Royal Oaks Realty 174
still exists); 175
- 4th Addition of Saddle Club development; 176
- The current proposal includes 8 lots; 177

- Historical data on land acquisition; 180
- Zoning and density implications; 181
- Preliminary plat; 182
- Street and utility plans; 183
- Transportation Plan (some concern about increased traffic moving to/from Birch Street; but 184
connection is absolutely planned for local residents); 185
- Park dedication fees; 186
- Cultural resources implications. 187
188
In summary, Ms. Larsen reported that the plans concur with the city’s requirements and the Planning 189
and Zoning Board hearing (that included resident’s concerns) that resulted in a vote approving of the 190
plans. 191
192
Mayor Reinert remarked that the land was originally the second largest saddle club in the state and the 193
City was happy for the development (as proposed by Marcel Eibensteiner). He added that he was at the 194
Planning and Zoning Board and heard the area resident’s concerns but he would note that many years 195
previous, the council heard about not becoming a city of cul-de-sacs for public safety reasons. The 196
City started putting up signs in places where there was a ghost plat for additional development. 197
198
Council Member Stoesz asked about deeding outlots to the city? Ms. Larsen suggested that would 199
depend on the overall plans and what’s appropriate. She confirmed that the City isn’t giving up any 200
tax benefit. Council Member Stoesz also confirmed that staff will be returning with a discussion of the 201
R-1 zoning designation. 202

will set certain standards relating to the city’s airparks. The standards will relate to hangars, driveway 213

HEARING ON LIQUOR CODE VIOLATION 16
17
Public Safety Director Swenson reported that the Police Division regularly conducts compliance 18
checks at the city’s licensed liquor establishments. On November 21, 2017, an underaged 19
person was served at Don Julio’s Mexican Restaurant; the bartender who served the alcohol was 20
charged and eventually plead guilty in court. Additionally, on February 18, 2018, police 21
personnel responded to a call from Don Julio’s Mexican Restaurant and came upon an assault in 22
progress; it was determined that two bar employees had served an individual under the age of 21 23
and charges were brought against two individual and the outcomes are outlined in the written 24
staff report. Director Swenson explained that the matter of these three violations is now before 25
the city council for consideration of civil action as allowed by the city code. Based on the city’s 26
Best Practices Grid, staff is recommending the imposition of civil penalties of $2,000 and a 10-27
day suspension of the liquor license for Don Julio’s Mexican Restaurant. 28
29
The licensee was not present at the hearing. 30
31
Mayor Reinert remarked that the case is clear. The offense screams of this situation needing 32
attention and action. The action recommended by the Grid, $2,000 and 10 day suspension, 33
would be incentive for the owners to clean things up. This type of activity has to stop. He 34
supports the staff recommendation. 35
36
Director Swenson noted that the license for this business will be coming up for consideration of 37
renewal. Staff thought it appropriate to deal with these violations (which occurred in the 38
previous license period) before the council considers renewal for the next licensing period. 39
40
Council Member Stoesz and Manthey expressed support for following at least the Grid 41
recommendation. 42

CITY COUNCIL
CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 1F
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Sarah Cotton, Finance Director
MEETING DATE: June 25, 2018
TOPIC: Consideration of Not Waiving Monetary Limits
on Tort Liability per MN Statute 466.04
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
As a part of the annual insurance renewal process the City Council is being asked by the
League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust to update the Liability Coverage Waiver
Form.
BACKGROUND
Each year, the City has the option of waving its monetary limits on tort liability to the
extent of the coverage purchased. The decision to waive or not to waive the statutory
limits has the following effects:
If the city does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to
recover no more than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The
total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the
statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000. These statutory tort limits
would apply regardless of whether or not the city purchases the optional excess liability
coverage
If the city does waive the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability
coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover up to $2,000,000 on a single
occurrence (under this option, the tort cap liability limits are waived to the extent of the
city’s liability coverage limits, and the LMCIT per occurrence limit is $2,000,000). The
total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the
statutory limits apply would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless of the number of
claimants.
If the city does waive the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a
single claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage
purchased. The total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence
to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage
purchased, regardless of the number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this
decision.
The city carries $1,000,000 in excess liability coverage ($1,000,000 per occurrence and
annual limit).
The City of Lino Lakes has never waived its’ monetary limits on tort liability.
RECOMMENDATION
The city does not wish to waive the monetary limits on municipal tort liability established
by Minnesota Statutes, Section 466.04

At the June 4, 2018 Council Work Session, the City Council reviewed the development and
expressed concerns about the proposed PUD flexibilities and those lots that did not meet the
minimum 10,800 sf net area. Resolution No. 18-70 includes and omits the following PUD
flexibilities that resulted from the June 4th and June 11, 2018 City Council meetings:
1. Reduced minor collector road right-of-way width from 80 feet to 60 feet on Street A
and Street C
2. Reduced front setback from 40 feet to 30 feet on Street A and Street C
3. Reduced paved road surface width from 32 feet to 28 30 feet (back to back) on cul de
sac Street D and cul de sac Street E
4. Reduced local road right-of-way width from 60 feet to 50 feet on Street E
5. Reduced front setback from 30 feet to 25 feet for Lots 1-5, Block 1 along Street E
6. Reduced lot depth from 135 feet to 120-125 feet for Lots 1-4, Block 5 along Street C
7. Landscaping shall be allowed in the drainage and utility easements covering the 15 foot
wide landscape buffer area in Outlot E and Outlot F.
BACKGROUND
History
The concept of Nature’s Refuge was first presented to the City in 2006 as a conservation
subdivision. The original site was 232 gross acres (approximately 100 acres upland and 132
acres wetlands/conservation easements) and 278 single family units were proposed. A
mandatory Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was prepared because the 278
housing units exceeded the 250 housing unit Environmental Review Record (ERR) threshold. It
was determined the project did not have the potential for significant environmental effects and
the Council passed Resolution No. 07-06 making a Negative Declaration on the Need for an
EIS.
The original project did not materialize past the EAW process due to the decline in the housing
market and no preliminary plat was ever submitted. The proposed project is smaller in scope
and size with 62 single family units on 95 gross acres.
Existing Site Conditions
The 95 gross acre site is north of CSAH 14 (Main Street), west of CSAH 23 (Lake Street) and
immediately west of Lino Lakes Elementary School. The southern and central parts of the site
consist of annually-tilled cropland. The northeastern part of the site consists of a large wetland
complex. The northwestern part of the site includes woodlands. Rare plants and animal species
(Blanding’s Turtle) have been documented on site. Ground elevations on the site range from
912 feet above msl in the southern part of the site where an equipment building is located,
down to 902 feet above msl in the open water parts of the large wetland in the northeastern part
of the site. Anoka County Ditch 32 (ACD 32) flows across the site from east to west. The
upland soils beneath the topsoil are poorly graded sand with silt, not hydric and are classified as
hydrologic groups A and B/D that signifies the soils are generally suitable for storm water
infiltration. Groundwater was encountered at depths ranging from 4 to 11 feet which could
affect infiltration.
3
A large lot (2+ acre) rural subdivision exists along Wood Duck Trail immediately to the west of
the proposed development. Four (4) single family homes exist along the north side of CSAH
14 (Main Street). Highland Meadows West, an R-1 residential subdivision, was platted in 2001
south of Main Street.
Zoning
Current and Proposed Zoning
The property is currently zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and will be rezoned to PUD,
Planned Unit Development to allow flexibility in right-of-way width and setback to support the
conservation subdivision. Street A and Street C to the north are considered minor collector
roads per the 2030 Transportation Plan. Standard ordinance requirements are 80 foot wide
right-of-way with 40 foot setbacks. The intent of these requirements is to allow for any future
road widening on major collector roads and provide greater separation along higher capacity
roads. A 60 foot wide right-of-way with 30 foot setbacks is proposed to minimize quality
wetland and rare plant species impacts. These standards are consistent with local roads and R-1
single family residential standards. The PUD development process implements the goals and
policies of the comprehensive plan by providing flexibility from the strict standards of the
zoning ordinance to allow for this type conservation subdivision development.

A 15 foot wide landscape buffer has been provided along CSAH 14 (Main Street) outside of the
existing 100 foot wide private utility easement and is contained in an outlot that will owned and
maintained by a homeowner’s association (HOA). A 6 foot high privacy fence is proposed
along Lot 1, Block 7 that will provide screening along CSAH 14. Shrubs and plantings are
provided along the exterior side of the fence.
Building Type and Construction
At the time of building permit, each individual single family dwelling unit will be reviewed for
compliance with Section 1007.043(2)(a) General Building Provisions and the R-1, Single
Family Residential requirements regarding floor area, garage and design and construction
standards.
Subdivision Ordinance
Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code
The preliminary plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for a conservation subdivision
as discussed below. The PUD provides flexibility from the strict standards of the zoning
ordinance.
Blocks and Lots
The preliminary plat has 61 single family lots and 6 outlots. The outlots are for stormwater
management facilities, wetland areas, open space and trail corridors.
Ownership of each outlot (City, HOA, developer etc.) shall be determined at the time of final
plat approval.
6
Outlot F has been extended along the south boundary of Lot 1, Block 7 and incorporates the
existing private utility easement. Instead of a 15 foot wide landscape buffer, a 6 foot high
privacy fence is proposed along Lot 1, Block 7 that will provide screening along CSAH 14.
The original preliminary plat indicated a ghost plat of potentially 8 more single family lots
north of ACD 32. Due to a redesign in the sanitary sewer, the area north of ACD 32 can now
be serviced. The revised preliminary plat proposes 5 single family lots north of ACD 32. A
new ghost plat now extends further north onto the adjacent parcel.
Streets and Alleys
CSAH 14 (Main Street) is a Principal Arterial road. Streets A and Street C (north of Street A)
are identified as minor collector roads in the Transportation Plan and provide a north-south
corridor. The 1999 Anoka County TH 242/CSAH 14 Access Management Plan identifies at-
grade full access at Wood Duck Trail and CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) and restricted movements
along the site’s corridor. The site plan has been reviewed by Anoka County Highway
Department. They have identified the need for additional right-of-way (70-75 feet) and right
and left turn lanes on CSAH 14 (Main Street). Twelve foot wide east bound and west bound
turn lanes have been shown on the site plan. Detailed construction plans shall be required with
the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat.
The internal road system (Streets A thru C) has 60 foot wide right-of-ways and 32 foot wide
(back to back) paved road surface. Street D and Street E are cul de sacs with 60 foot wide
right-of-way and 30 foot wide (back to back) paved road surface. The intersection of Street A
and CSAH 14 (Main Street) has an 80 foot wide right-of-way and 42 foot wide (back to back)
paved road surface. Sidewalks are proposed along the east side of both Street A and Street C.
Street C terminates in a temporary dead-end to the west, abutting 8024 Wood Duck Trail. This
stub provides opportunity for future extension and residential development to Wood Duck
Trail. This is consistent with the County Access Management Plan. Street C also terminates in
a temporary cul de sac to the north and provides opportunity for future extension to the north.
The revised plans propose full street, utility and trail construction of Street C north of ACD 32
to the property line. Five lots are proposed along the west side of the street.
Street B provides future access to Lino Lakes Elementary School to the east. In 2017, the
school began a building remodeling and parking lot reconstruction project. An opportunity to
eliminate the school’s west driveway and connect with Nature’s Refuge was identified as a
safety benefit. The City and Anoka County are working with the school district to complete
this connection. Ultimately, it is the school districts decision when to make this connection.
The Traffic Study was revised on June 4, 2018 by Spack Consulting in relation to the Nature’s
Refuge development. The results of the study are explained further in this staff report.
Easements
Standard drainage and utility easements at least 10 feet wide are provided along all lot lines.
Easements at least 20 feet wide are provided over utility pipes.
7
Drainage and utility easements are required to be dedicated 10 feet above the high water level
over stormwater drainage ponds and 10 feet outward from the delineated wetland boundary.
This requirement is satisfied because easements will be dedicated over the entire outlots. Rear
lot lines also have a minimum 10 foot wide easement.
Conservation easements shall be required over Outlots A, B, C and D.
A 100 foot wide private utility easement in favor of Great River Energy exists along the
southern boundary of the development.
Landscaping shall be allowed in the drainage and utility easements covering the 15 foot wide
landscape buffer area in Outlot E and Outlot F.
Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control
Per the revised Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Carlson McCain dated April 11,
2018, all of the site’s stormwater eventually flows to ACD 32 and to the west. Stormwater
leaves the project boundary at two locations: via ACD 32 and a small portion of the property
discharges to a ditch along Main Street. The total proposed post-development impervious
surface area is approximately 10.4 acres.
Soils on the site are classified as Hydrologic Soil Group A/D. Groundwater elevations ranged
from 898 feet to 904 feet.
The Stormwater Management Plan and plan sheets identify four (4) stormwater ponds, one (1)
infiltration basin and Wetland C on site. Pond 100 and Pond 400 are required for stormwater
management. Pond 200 and Pond 300 are material excavation ponds. The storm water ponds
and trails are located near the wetlands and upland buffers. This strategic design is the basis of
the City’s greenway system by creating a multi-functional greenway corridor intended to
provide areas for stormwater management, upland buffers for wetland protection and natural
resource conservation, and open space and trails for people.
A maintenance access trail is shown around Pond 200. This access trail will be graded but will
not require gravel or paved improvements.
Ownership of each outlot (City, HOA, developer etc.) shall be determined by the time of final
plat approval.
The site will be mass graded in one (1) phase. Residential home development will occur over
several years.
Utilities
Public water, sanitary and storm sewer utilities will be installed within the development.
8
Sanitary Sewer
A 21” trunk sanitary sewer main located along CSAH 14 (Main Street) serves the site. An 8”
and 10” sanitary sewer pipe serves the site internally. Future development to the north will
potentially require a lift station. Sanitary sewer will also be stubbed to the west to
accommodate future development.
Watermain
A 12” trunk watermain located along CSAH 14 (Main Street) serves the site. An 8” and 16”
watermain serve the site internally and loops the system to CSAH 14 (Main Street). Watermain
will be stubbed to the west and north property boundaries for future development.
Public Land Dedication
The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication. Per the City’s Park, Greenway & Trail
System Plan, a neighborhood park is not programmed for this area. Lino Lakes Elementary
School is immediately adjacent to the development and provides a joint-use opportunity
between the city and school for shared use of facilities.
Nature’s Refuge
61 lots x $3,000 = $183,000
The Park, Greenway & Trail System Plan identifies the need for a future city trail running
north-south through the development along greenway corridor. Due to concerns regarding
potential impacts to the rare plant species behind Lots 1-4, Block 5, an 8.5 foot wide paved trail
will be constructed on the west side of the development along Pond 100 and 200 utilizing the
maintenance access path.
Outlot C of the revised plans accommodates a 25 foot wide trail corridor as required in the
original review comments. Staff and the applicant will further evaluate whether a 25 foot wide
outlot or trail easement will be required.
Plans have been revised to include a 10 foot wide trail along CSAH 14 (Main Street). The
timing of this trail construction is to be determined based on available funds. The section of
sidewalk extending along Street A from Main Street to Street B shall also be revised to be an
8.5 foot wide trail.
Credit will be given for trail construction.
The Park Board reviewed the plans on February 5, 2018. The Board recommends collecting
park fees to potentially fund enhancements at Lino Lakes Elementary School.
Tree Preservation
The goal of tree preservation is to minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, biodiversity and forest
resource and to replace removed trees in areas where tree cover is most critical. The revised
9
Tree Inventory Report prepared by Carlson McCain dated June 15, 2018 identifies 1,151
significant trees on site and 950 will be saved. The Tree Preservation Plan identifies the basic
use area and environmentally sensitive areas. There are 201 trees within these areas proposed
for removal. This requires 138 replacement trees for mitigation. The developer and
Environmental Coordinator shall determine the best location for these replacement trees.
The Environmental Coordinator also reviewed the Tree Preservation Plan and made
suggestions for removal of hazardous or unhealthy trees. There are 14 non-significant trees
proposed for removal. No mitigation is required for these trees.
Landscaping
Boulevard trees are required at the rate of one (1) tree per lot frontage for single family. There
are 61 single family lots and 105 boulevard trees are proposed which is compliant with the
ordinance.
Open area landscaping standards required 1 large tree and 3 large shrubs per 2,000 sf. Per the
Landscape Plan, there is 449,471 sf of open area requiring 224 overstory trees and 673 large
shrubs. Desirable existing trees may be used to fulfill open area landscape requirements. The
Environmental Coordinator shall detail the locations where open area mitigation trees shall be
planted. Special attention will be made to preserve and/or create a landscape buffer along the
west side of the development abutting the residential properties along Wood Duck Trail.
A 15 foot wide landscape buffer has been provided along CSAH 14 (Main Street) outside of the
existing 100 foot wide private utility easement and is contained in an outlot that will owned and
maintained by a homeowner’s association (HOA). A 6 foot high privacy fence is proposed
along Lot 1, Block 7 that will provide screening along CSAH 14. Shrubs and plantings are
provided along the exterior side of the fence.
Landscaping shall be allowed in the drainage and utility easements covering the 15 foot wide
landscape buffer area in Outlot E and Outlot F.
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)
As previously noted, in 2006 a mandatory Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was
prepared for the original Nature’s Refuge concept because the proposed 278 housing units
exceeded the 250 housing unit threshold. The EAW thoroughly analyzed potential impacts to
wetlands, rare plant and animal species, floodplain, water quality, noise, traffic and archeology.
It was determined the project did not have the potential for significant environmental effects
and the Council passed Resolution No. 07-06 making a Negative Declaration on the Need for
an EIS.
The scope and size of the current proposed Nature’s Refuge (61 housing units on 95 gross
acres) is much smaller than the original 2006 proposal (278 housing units on 232 gross acres).
An EAW is not required for the current proposed Nature’s Refuge because the 62 housing units
do not exceed the 250 housing unit threshold.

Traffic Study
A revised Traffic Study was prepared by Spack Consulting on June 4, 2018 based on 60 single
family lots. Although the revised plans indicate 61 new single family lots, the data of the traffic
study is still relevant. The development is forecasted to generate approximately 565 new trips
per day with 45 new trips in the a.m. peak hour and 60 trips in the p.m. peak hour.
Traffic impacts are analyzed in terms of volume and capacity. Volume quantifies the number
of trips and capacity quantifies the number of vehicles the road can accommodate.

2Includes traffic from Nature’s Refuge
Existing traffic volumes near the site are 8,400 AADT (annual average daily traffic). Nature’s
Refuge will generate approximately 565 new trips per day. These projected traffic volumes are
included in the 2030 forecasts.
The traffic study also projected future development to the north of Nature’s Refuge. A
potential of 99 single family homes could generate 934 new trips per day and Street B
connection to Lino Lakes Elementary School could generate 482 trips per day.
The traffic study notes the City’s 2030 Transportation Plan identifies CSAH 14 as a future
four-lane divided road by the year 2030. It should be noted there is no timeframe as to when
these improvements will occur.
Traffic Capacity
A ratio of volume to capacity is used to analyze traffic congestion. Per the traffic study, a 2-
lane road is considered congested when volumes reach 8,900 to 18,300 vehicles per day. The
existing 2015 AADT of 8,400 trips plus the proposed Nature’s Refuge trips of 565 equals
approximately 8,965 trips per day near the site. Future development to the north and the school
connection would increase to 10,381 trips per day.

Level of Service
Level of service is a term to measure how traffic operates in intersections. An “A” level of
service represents best conditions and an “F” represents the worse.

proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below C.
Per the traffic study, the existing LOS is C and the 2021 Build LOS is C. The proposed
development meets the subdivision ordinance requirements.
The traffic study notes the added roadway traffic due to the proposed Nature’s Refuge develop
will have an impact on the surrounding roadways but that impact is minor. To mitigate impacts
and improve safety, right and left turn lanes on CSAH 14 (Main Street) are being constructed.
A southbound right turn lane from Street A onto CSAH 14 (Main Street) is also being
constructed. This is supported by Anoka County Highway Department. The City and County
are also working with Lino Lake Elementary School to eliminate their westerly driveway and
connect with Nature’s Refuge.
Wetlands
A WCA Notice of Decision for the wetland boundary delineation was approved by RCWD on
June 16, 2016. Seven (7) wetlands were delineated on site totaling 41.91 acres. ACD 32 is not
classified as a wetland.
A revised WCA Permit Application for wetland sequencing and mitigation was prepared by
Kjolhaug Environmental Services on April 18, 2018. The project area is located within in the
RCWD Lino Lakes Comprehensive Wetland Protection and Management Plan (CWPMP) area.
The intent of the CWPMP is to preserve/enhance high-priority wetlands/wetland corridors. Six
(6) of the 7 wetlands are in the Wetland Management Corridor (WMC). The exception is
Wetland 1. Wetland buffer easements covering 14.2 upland acres will protect the WMC.
12
In summary, post-development wetland hydrological regime is equal to predevelopment
conditions, wetland water quality is higher overall than pre-development conditions, and
wildlife habitat structure improves overall post-development likely due to removal/conversion
of cropland to permanent upland buffer.
Per Sheet W1, Wetland Buffer Exhibit prepared by Carlson McCain revision dated June 15,
2018 and the Kjolhaug Wetland Application:
Wetland Summary
Total Delineated Wetlands 41.9 acres
Wetland Fill 1.6 acres
Wetland Enhancement 3.8 acres
Vegetation Restoration 4.4 acres
WMC Buffer Area 14.2 acres
Wetland Bank Credit 0.0976 acres
Conservation easements shall be required over Outlots A, B, C and D.
Rare & Endangered Species
Minnesota endangered and threatened species must be considered when submitting a wetland
replacement plan. A rare plant survey identified portions of three populations of state-
threatened plant species that would be impacted by the development. A Takings Permit
Application has been submitted to the MNDNR for their review and approval. Impacts to this
habitat have been minimized by reducing the road right-of-way width and setback and
relocating the trail to the west side of the development.
Federal endangered species of concern in the region include the northern long-eared bat
(NLEB). Based on the tree species present onsite and the fact that there are no known NLEB
hibernacula or roosting colonies in the project vicinity, negative effects to the NLEB or its
habitat are not expected.
Floodplain
The 2015 DFIRM indicates Zone A floodplain on site, mainly over the easterly wetland
complex and along ACD 32. Per RCWD modeling data, the east floodplain base flood
elevation is 904.5 and the west floodplain elevation is 904.2. Per Sheet FP, Floodplain Exhibit,
215 cy of floodplain fill is required. Proposed floodplain mitigation is 47,700 cy.
The floodplain impacts on the east side of the development are related to the stormwater pond
and trail construction. Trail and storm pond design has been revised to avoid the need for any
floodplain fill.
13
A FEMA Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) or Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) is
not required because floodplain impacts do not encroach into any single family lots.
Growth Management Policy
Per the Comprehensive Plan (page 3-27), an annual average of 230 units per year over each 5
year phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any 1 year is allowed. At the end of the 5 year
phasing period unallocated units will be averaged out over the next 5 years.
Nature’s Refuge is proposed to be graded and developed in one (1) phase.
Homeowner’s Association (HOA)
A homeowner’s association shall be required to maintain landscape buffer areas, any common
area/signage and possibly certain stormwater ponds (i.e. Pond 300). Details regarding
ownership and maintenance will be finalized during the final plat process.
Comprehensive Plan
Resource Management System Plan
The Resource Management System Plan provides the conservation design framework for the
Comprehensive Plan and sustainable decisions regarding growth and development. It provides
a unified system approach to natural resource management and natural resource based
amenities.
Goals of the Resource Management System Plan include:
Parks, Trails, Open Space and Recreation
o Goal #3: Develop, maintain, and connect the current and proposed trails in the
City of Lino Lakes and Rice Creek Regional Park in a manner that preserves and
sustains the natural environment.
Natural Resources and Amenities
o Goal #1: Identify, protect and preserve the desirable natural areas and ecological
and aquatic resources of the community.
o Goal #2: Initiate and continue vigorous collaborations and programs to address,
restore, and preserve the water quality of the region’s lakes, wetlands and other
aquatic assets.
Land Use Policies
o Goal #1: Ensure that well-planned, quality residential, commercial, industrial
and institutional development to accommodate the city’s projected growth needs
occurs in a manner that also conserves and enhances the city’s natural resources
and amenities.
The Resource Management System Plan identifies the following needs in the area:
14
Proposed designated bike route
Trails
Greenway system connectivity
An 8.5 foot wide trail is provided along the wetland corridor and greenway system. A 10 foot
wide trail corridor is provided along CSAH 14 (Main Street). Future trail extensions to the
north between the storm water ponds and wetland corridor would connect and further enhance
the greenway and park system.
Nature’s Refuge addresses the goals of the Resource Management System by creating a
residential conservation subdivision and multi-functional greenway corridor that integrates the
stormwater management system, wetland management and open space areas and trails into one
unified system.
Land Use Plan
Goal 1: Create a unified vision and future for the city, promote a well-planned community,
prevent fragmented development, address the impacts of development and redevelopment on
natural resources, aesthetics and view corridors, and provide balanced land use and
connectivity that ensures the integration of both sides of the regional park.
Policies established to obtain this goal include:
1. Provide clearly defined incentives to achieve significant and discernable public values
not achievable under conventional development standards. These public values include,
but are not limited to:
a. Preserving open space, providing park dedication and trails, and/or providing
stormwater management areas, in excess of minimum standards to implement
the Resource Management System Plan, as amended, and Rice Creek Watershed
District’s Lino Lakes Resource Management Plan, as amended
b. Restoring/enhancing ecological systems
c. Managing stormwater using natural filtration and other ecologically based
approaches
d. Providing life-cycle and affordable housing
e. Diversifying the tax base to lessen the tax burden on residential properties
f. Providing infrastructure that benefits community beyond the project site that
would otherwise not be financially feasible
2. Identify and define incentives offered to developers for achieving specific public values
not achievable under conventional development standards. These incentives may
include, but are not limited to:
a. Reduced street and right-of-way widths
b. Trunk utility and stormwater management fee credits
c. Staging plan flexibility
3. Encourage master planning to accomplish the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan
including, but not limited to, implementing the Resource Management System Plan, as
amended, implementing Rice Creek Watershed District’s Lino Lakes Resource
Management Plan, as amended, providing life-cycle housing, and diversifying the city’s
tax base.
15
As previously discussed, the site is guided for low density residential development which
requires a density of 1.6 to 3.9 units per acres. The proposed net density is 1.70 units per acre
which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s guided land use and density. Wetlands and
wetland buffers make up 57 acres (60%) of protected open space.
Nature’s Refuge meets the land use goals by creating a residential conservation subdivision that
supports public values by integrating the stormwater conveyance systems, wetland restoration
and open space areas and trails into a multi-functional greenway corridor. The development
implements the Resource Management Plan, provides housing, promotes pedestrian
connectivity and diversifies the city’s tax base.
Housing Plan
Goal 3: Ensure housing development is compatible with existing and adjacent land uses and
provides accessibility to key community features and natural amenities. Policies include linking
trails to parks, lakes and schools.
Nature’s Refuge meets the goal of the housing plan. The development is compatible with the
existing adjacent residential and institutional (elementary school) land uses. Trails and
sidewalk link the development to the natural resource, school and CSAH 14 (Main Street).
Economic Development
Goal 1: Expand and diversify the city’s tax base by encouraging mixed-use and nodal
development to lessen the tax burden on residential properties. Policies include developing
walkable neighborhoods with commercial nodes and amenities for residents.
Nature’s Refuge meets the goals of the economic development plan. It is less than ½ mile west
of the intersection of CSAH 14 (Main Street) and CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) which has been
identified as a mixed use and commercial node in the city. The development provides an
internal sidewalk and trail system to CSAH 14 (Main Street). A proposed regional trail
corridor along CSAH 14 (Main Street) has been identified that will provide a future link from
the residential development to the commercial node.
Transportation Plan
Goal 1: Plan for and achieve required street improvements and connectivity throughout the
City of Lino Lakes.
Goal 2: Ensure that streets and roads are as safe as possible.
Goal 6: Promote alternative transportation such as bicycling, walking, transit and rail.
Policies:
1. Work to physically connect neighborhoods with roads and pedestrian/bicycle links.
2. Encourage sidewalks and separated pathways along all arterial collector, and local
streets in developing residential and commercial areas.
16
Goal 7: Maintain and coordinate the transportation system with adjacent communities, Anoka
County, Washington County, Metropolitan Council and Mn/DOT.
Policies:
1. Use the functional classification system to define and plan existing and new
roadways.
2. Develop and utilize access management guidelines in conjunction with Anoka
County.
3. Continue to work with surrounding jurisdictions, state and federal agencies to
ensure an integrated transportation system.
Nature’s Refuge meets the goals of the 2030 Transportation Plan. The Plan identifies the need
for a north/south minor collector road through this development. Street A and Street C are the
minor collector roads that will eventually extend north to Pine Street upon future development.
Sidewalks and trails throughout the Nature’s Refuge provide alternative modes of
transportation. The 1999 Anoka County TH 242/CSAH 14 Access Management Plan identifies
at-grade full access at Wood Duck Trail and CSAH 23 and restricted movements in between.
Nature’s Refuge is consistent with the access management plan.
Sanitary Sewer Plan
Goals of the sanitary sewer plan are to ensure well-planned, quality residential development
that conserves and enhances the city’s natural resources and to provide an affordable and safe
sanitary sewer system.
Nature’s Refuge meets the goals of the sanitary sewer plans. The site is located in Sanitary
Sewer District 2 (Sub-district 2B) and is ultimately served by MCES Interceptor 83-61, a 24-
inch gravity sewer located in North Road which is adequately sized for the development in the
district.
The site is located in Utility Staging area 1A=2008-2015.
Water Supply Plan
A goal of the water supply plan is to provide residents affordable potable water that is safe and
of high quality for daily consumption and fire demand.
Nature’s Refuge meets the goals of the water supply plan. The site is served by a 12”
watermain located along CSAH 14 (Main Street). The water system has capacity to serve this
residential development.
Planning Districts
The site is located in Planning District 2 and is guided for low density residential development.
A recommendation for District 2 is to implement the Main Street Access Management Study.
Nature’s Refuge implements this plan.
17
The site is located within the Marshan resource management unit (RMU) that identifies
wetlands, the wetland preservation corridor and greenway system. Wetland buffers and
conservation easements will protect the natural resources.
PUD Final Stage Plan/Final Plat
A land use application for PUD Final Plan/Final Plat shall be required.
Findings of Fact
The Findings of Fact for the Rezoning and PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat are
detailed in Ordinance No. 05-18 and Resolution No. 18-70, respectively.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing on February 14, 2018 and continued the
hearing to May 9, 2018. Public comments included concerns regarding groundwater and
wetland impacts, tree removal and additional traffic onto Main Street. The Planning & Zoning
Board voted 6-0 in favor of the Rezoning and PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat
for Nature’s Refuge.
At the June 4, 2018 Council Work Session and June 11, 2018 Council meeting, the City
Council reviewed the development and expressed concerns regarding the proposed PUD
flexibilities, especially those lots that did not meet a minimum 10,800 sf net area. The plans
were revised to address these concerns.

Re: Nature’s Refuge Preliminary Plat Review
WSB Project No. 011406-000
We have reviewed the Preliminary Plat documents received June 18, 2018 for the Nature’s
Refuge development including:
• June 15, 2018: Preliminary Plan Set prepared by Carlson McCain
• June 16, 2018: HydroCAD report prepared by Carlson McCain
• December 5, 2017: WCA Wetland Permit Application, prepared by Kjoulhaug
Environmental Services Company
The following are our review comments that should be responded to in writing by the applicant.
City comments are in blue.
The applicant shall submit an updated Geotechnical Report, SWMP, and RCWD approval
for ACD 10-22-32 realignment, per our comments below.
Engineering
• General
The Nature’s Refuge development includes 95 acres north of CSAH 14 (Main Street), west
of CSAH 23 (Lake Street) and east of Wood Duck Trail. The revised project proposes 62
single family houses and associated infrastructure. This property was originally part of a
larger development of which an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was
prepared. The evaluation concluded that the project did not have the potential for significant
environmental effects. The EAW included a comprehensive analysis of the area which we
incorporated as part of our review for Nature’s Refuge.
The site has relatively flat topography, with elevations ranging from 904 to 914. Much of
the site is below 905, which is the approximate elevation of the delineated wetlands on the
site. The geotechnical conditions of the site indicate that there is one foot of topsoil
overlaying glacier outwash including silty sand and poorly graded sand. Sandy lean clay
was found 29 and 40 feet below grade. The groundwater elevation at the south end of the
site is 904 and 898 at the north end of the site.
1. Street C shall be extended to the north side of Anoka County Ditch (ACD) 10-22-32.
This includes the extension of sanitary sewer and watermain and culvert crossing
reconstruction/extension. The road bed shall be graded and restored for future extension
and paving. Street C extended to the north extents of the property.
2. Sheet 13 (Preliminary Site and Utility Plan) shows an Outlot C in the same locations as
previously identified Outlot B. Outlot lettering updated
3. Each plan sheet should include an accurate legend. Legend updated.
4. This project is assumed to be phased with Blocks 3, 4, & 5 being constructed as
Phase 2.
Noted. 2 phases proposed.
5. Standard Detail Plates from the City of Lino Lakes General Specifications and
Standard Detail Plates dated February 2018 should be used in the “Details” section
of the plans. Contact Ed Youngquist at the City of Lino Lakes for PDF versions.
The city detail plates will be added in with final grading plans as well as final street and
utility plans.
6. Applicant to include pedestrian curb ramps in final plat.
• Grading, Erosion and Sediment Control
The Nature’s Refuge development proposes the mass grading of 62 new single-family lots.
It includes the extension of streets and utilities northerly from Main Street (CSAH 14). A
project SWPPP was submitted and reviewed.
Comments:
1.The applicant shall submit the earthwork volume data for excavation and embankment.
Earthwork balance is attached.
2.The applicant shall ensure that the proposed grading is not in conflict with the existing
elevation south of Street B at the edge of the site.
FES added to catch runoff in the created low area.
3. Label pre-drainage and post-drainage directional flow arrows.
This is shown on the drainage figures in the SWMP.
Drainage arrow need to be shown.
Drainage arrows added.
4. Show locations for stockpiles and BMP measures for stockpile management.
Stockpile locations will be determined by the grading contractor. BMP
measures are detailed in the SWPPP.
5.The applicant shall show a screening berm along Main Street (CSAH 14) and grades to
accommodate a trail, see comments in the transportation section.
A berm is not possible with the drainage swale in the Outlot D. A 15’ landscape
easement has been added along B4 L15-17 and a screening fence along B7 L1.
• Stormwater Management
The existing site is undeveloped and has Anoka County Ditch (ACD) 10-22-32 flowing
through the site from east to west. The site also contains several wetlands. The Nature’s
Refuge development proposes a storm sewer and ponding system. The system shall meet the
City’s and Rice Creek Watershed District’s (RCWD) Stormwater Management
requirements. The total proposed impervious surface is 7.8 acres. They are proposing that
the impervious areas be managed through storm water ponds, infiltration basins and
wetlands and discharging to ACD 10-22-32.

Comments:
1. RCWD is the ditch authority for ACD 10-22-32 and is responsible for the maintenance,
function and capacity of the ditch. The City of Lino Lakes would be responsible for
Pond 200 maintenance and function. The ditch, and its associated rights, extend east
and shall not be routed through the pond. The easement will extend around the north end
of the pond to provide RCWD with the access needed. This has been discussed with the
watershed. Applicant shall address water quality calculations, and confirm
whether Pond 200 is necessary for water quality treatment for the impervious
surface increase. If the pond is not necessary to meet water quality treatment, then
similar to Pond 300, Pond 200 is recommended to be private and be maintained by
the Home Owners Association. If Pond 200 is necessary for water quality
treatment, the applicant shall work with the City as well as the RCWD Ditch
Authority. Pond 200 should be 2 cells separating ACD 10-22-32 into one basin, and
the City Pond into a second basin as needed for water quality.
Pond 200 is not necessary to meet NURP requirements.
Pond 200 and Pond 300 are not necessary to meet NURP requirements and should
be identified as something other than a pond (lake, basin, etc.) and are also
recommended to be maintained by the Homeowners Association.
2. Pond 300 is not considered a stormwater pond. It doesn’t meet the requirements for
water quality treatment due to the depth. It was not included as part of the water quality
calculations. It is recommended that this borrow area should be private and
maintained by the Home Owners Association.. Comment Noted
This shall be called out in the agreement and provided by the developer.
3. The applicant needs to adjust the location of the outlet control structures such that City
can access and maintain. Specific to Pond 200. Access is provided to outlet control
structures.
3A. Applicant to confirm that RCWD Ditch Authority to maintain outlets and
culverts within ACD 10-22-32 easement and submit information to the City.
Waiting for verification from RCWD.
4.The applicant shall include the 10-day snowmelt event in modeling and update the
proposed 10-day snowmelt HWLs on the plans. 10-day snow melt added to the models
and report.
Applicant shall include the modeled 10-day snowmelt HWLs on the plans.
10-day snow melt results are shown on the plans and will be included in the updated
SWMP.
5.The applicant shall confirm the amount of new impervious. There are different numbers
in Section 1.2 and Section 2.5 of the Stormwater Management Plan, Section 2.2 of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), and the HydroCAD modeling. New
impervious area has been recalculated and confirmed.
Addressed for Stormwater Management Plan and HydroCAD. Applicant shall
update the SWPPP.
SWPPP updated per SWMP updates.
6.See Table C3 in RCWD Rule C: Stormwater Management Plans for maximum curve
numbers for existing conditions and adjust modeling accordingly. See section 4b for
adjustments to curve numbers for proposed conditions. Curve numbers changed to
match RCWD rules
7.The applicant shall confirm that the names of wetlands match between the existing
conditions map and the existing conditions HydroCAD model. Node IDs are changed
8.The applicant shall provide the wetland susceptibility class, bounce, and inundation
periods for impacted wetlands. See Table C4 and section 8 in RCWD Rule C.
None of the wetlands provide retention or significant bounce in existing or proposed
conditions because there is not a well-defined storage or outlet component.
The submitted HydroCAD model indicates that wetlands on the site have storage
and outlets. Please provide wetland susceptibility class, bounce, and inundation
periods for impacted wetlands.
Summary will be provided in the updated SWMP. The total bounce in the wetlands is less
than 1 foot for the 100-year rainfall event. The outlets and storage are modeled as natural
overflow weirs with typical undulating bottoms for storage.
9.The applicant shall refer to Table C5 in RCWD Rule C for soil infiltration rates.
Comment Noted
Applicant shall update infiltration rate in HydroCAD model for IB10 to be
consistent with soil boring and Table C5.
Soil boring SB-2 was placed in the infiltration area. The soil was described as silty sand
overlying coarse-grained sand. This is consistent with an infiltration rate of 0.45.
10.The applicant shall update water quality standards to be consistent with the requirement
to treat 1.1-inches of runoff for new or reconstructed impervious surface per section 6c
of RCWD Rule C. See Table C1 in RCWD Rule C for the TP removal factor for
stormwater ponds and apply as necessary. The applicant shall verify that the site is
meeting water quality treatment standards. Meeting the standards is not feasible on this
site due to the high water table.
The applicant needs to meet water quality standards for the site. Please update
Appendix C to account for the TP removal factor indicated for stormwater ponds
(Table C1 in RCWD Rule C or Table 2 in Lino Lakes Code of Ordinances
Chapter 1011). The applicant shall consider including a water quality discussion
in Section 2 of the Stormwater Management Plan.
Updated TP removals will be included in the updated SWMP
11.The applicant shall verify HWLs for ponds. In some instances, they differ between the
HydroCAD modeling and the plans. HWLs confirmed.
The applicant shall revise the HWLs on the plans to match HydroCAD
modeling.
Plans are updated.
Applicant shall clarify why two different 100-yr HWL and 10-day Snowmelt
elevations are shown on the plans.
12.The applicant shall clarify the intent of the low area on Outlot D. If intended to be a
stormwater pond, please include it in modeling. Node added
13.The applicant shall revise the ACD number it varies throughout the Stormwater
Management Plan and SWPPP narratives. Comment Noted and ditch ID consistent in
report
Addressed in Stormwater Management Plan. Applicant shall update the
SWPPP.
SWPPP updated per the SWMP.
14.The applicant shall verify the lot lines on Lot 12 Block 4, Lot 4 Block 1, and Lot 5
Block 1. It appears the structures may encroach on the drainage and utility easements.
Plan updated.
The applicant shall verify the lot lines on Lot 24 Block 7. It appears the
structure may encroach on the drainage and utility easement.
Lot lines revised in this area as well as pad locations.
15.The applicant shall include the bottom elevation of the infiltration basin on the grading
plans. Elevations added.
Applicant shall verify the bottom elevation, as it differs between HydroCAD
model, plans, and Appendix C. Verify the culvert outlet elevation; outlet should
be above the exfiltration elevation. As a note: planting medium is not necessary
below the bottom of the infiltration basin.
The infiltration is not intended to provide above-ground retention to prevent
oversaturating the back yards of the adjacent lots. The area is a flat infiltration swale
area.
The plan and HydroCAD Model now show the outlet elevation equal to the
infiltration basin bottom. Note that with this design, infiltration volume credit
cannot be claimed for IB10 and the SWMP must be updated. Volume of
infiltration is the ponded volume (volume from basin bottom to the outlet
elevation).
16.The applicant shall verify the retention volume calculation for Pond 400 in Appendix C
as there appears to be an error. The volumes are correct.
17.If needed, the opportunity may exist to maximize infiltration at the infiltration basin by
constructing the basin to minimize the separation between the bottom of the basin and
the water table. The basin needs minimum 3 feet separation from the water table and
cannot be lowered.
18.The applicant shall verify that the HWL of the Infiltration Basin is 2.0 feet below the
low entry elevations of surrounding buildings. Separation requirement is met
19.The applicant shall display and label emergency overflows with spot elevations and
drainage arrows at all ponds and sags, specifically at the intersection of Street A and
Street C and at the cul-de-sac of Street C. EOF’s added.
20. The applicant shall confirm that there is a 10-ft. setback between the HWL of the
infiltration basin and the drainage and utility easements. HWL is covered by easement.
21. The applicant shall verify that the top berm of stormwater ponds is 2 ft. above the HWL
of the pond. Berm updated.
22.The applicant shall label the safety bench on the plans. It shall be at least 10-ft wide.
The pond slope cannot be greater than a 3:1 slope. Comment noted.
The applicant shall label the safety bench on the plans.
Safety bench label added.
23. The storm sewer system and grading in the rear yards of Lot 1-3 Block 1 should be
evaluated to eliminate the middle structure and provide one EOF. The CB between Lot1
& 2 should be moved north onto Lot 2 so that it is not on the property line. This is not
possible to maintain minimum slopes.
24. The applicant shall update the drainage area characteristics for Pond 100 in
Appendix C. While the calculations appear to be correct, the applicant shall
update all ponds in Appendix C to indicate that 1.1” of runoff is the required
water quality volume for new impervious area.
Included in the updated
SWMP
25. The applicant shall confirm the elevations of the broad crested rectangular weir
outlets of Ponds P200.
Weir elevation updated in the model
26. The applicant shall verify NWLs (Pond 300, Wetland C) and 100-year HWLs (Pond
400) in Table 1. Note that infiltration basins do not have NWLs.
Normal water levels verified.
27. It is highly recommended (MPCA Stormwater Manual) that pond liners be
installed at wet ponds in A or B soils.
The MPCA stormwater manual recommends a liner for ponds in A or B soil to maintain
permanent pool. The ponds on the development intersect the water table so a liner is not
necessary.
The applicant shall note that proposed water quality ponds are not within a Source
Water Protection Area therefore they are not required to have a liner. However, it
will be the responsibility of the Developer to show that the proposed dead pool
volume can be maintained after construction.
28. The applicant shall confirm that the starting elevations for the HydroCAD modeled
storm pond storage start at the bottom of the pond (and not below). Specific to
Ponds P200.
Pond 200 starts at 901.5 and the v‐notch weir is set at 901.5.
29. On the Anoka County ditch system, there shall be consideration for beaver guards at
all surface water structures
Beaver guards will be discussed and confirmed with the ditch authority.
• Water Supply
There is an existing 12 inch diameter trunk watermain located along CSAH 14 (Main
Street). The Nature’s Refuge development is proposed to be served by extending 8-inch
diameter DIP watermain from an existing 8-inch diameter DIP watermain stub where Street
A meets Main Street (CSAH 14), and installing 1-inch diameter Type K copper services.
The City’s Comprehensive Plan requires that a 16 inch diameter trunk main be extended
north/south in this area. The proposed watermain extends west and north for future
connection / looping.
Comments:
1.The applicant shall loop the system along the west side of Lot 25 Block 4 from Street C
to Main Street. Watermain loop added.
The watermain on L1B8 shall be located (moved east) under the trail in the outlot
verses in an easement on the west side of the lot.
2.The applicant shall install 16 inch diameter trunk watermain from Main Street north
through the development. Along west side of Lot 25 Block 4 and to the north extents of
Street C. Trunk oversizing credits will apply. Watermain sizing updated.
3.Watermain shall be extended north along Street C under ACD 10-22-32.
Watermain extended to the northern property line.
• Sanitary Sewer
There is an existing 21 inch diameter trunk sanitary sewer located along CSAH 14 (Main
Street). The Nature’s Refuge development is proposed to be served by extending 8-inch
diameter PVC sanitary sewer throughout the development from an existing sanitary sewer
manhole in Main Street (CSAH 14) just south of Outlot E, and installing 4-inch diameter
Schedule 40 PVC services. The City’s Comprehensive Plan requires that the sanitary system
serves the future lift station and forcemain of Sanitary Sewer Sub-District 2K, discharging
to the northernmost proposed manhole in Street C.
Comments:
1.The applicant shall increase the mainline sanitary sewer in Street C and D to 10 inch
diameter at minimum grade 0.28%. Trunk oversizing credits will apply.
Sanitary sewer sizing updated.
2.The existing sanitary sewer stub at Main St and Street A shall be properly abandoned
and plugged at the Manhole. Note added to abandon.
3.The applicant shall add a note that sanitary services require the contractor to provide X,
Y and Z GPS coordinates of wyes and service ends for future locating requirements.
This will be noted on final construction plans.
4.The applicant shall add a note that sanitary sewer pipe be installed with a tracer wire. A
tracer wire box shall be provided at the surface for the ends of the sanitary sewer service
tracer wire to provide access to wire ends for future locating requirements.
This will be noted on the final construction plans.
5.Sanitary Sewer shall be extended north along Street C under ACD 10-22-32.
Sanitary sewer extended to the northern property line.
6.Sanitary Sewer shall be extended west along Street C from the most westerly manhole to
the same extent as the watermain. Sanitary stub added.
• Transportation
The Nature’s Refuge subdivision is proposed on the north side of Main Street (CSAH 14)
between Lake Drive (CSAH 23) and 4th Avenue. Access will be from a new street
connection (Street A) to Main Street (CSAH 14). The development will be set for future
extensions to the west, north, and to Lino Lakes Elementary. To improve access control on
Main Street, the City is working with School to remove their west access and connect to
Nature’s Refuge.
A Traffic Study evaluating the Nature’s Refuge development was submitted by Spack
Consulting. The development includes 60 single family homes that are anticipated to
generate approximately 565 new trips per day, 45 new trips in the a.m. peak hour and 60
trips in the p.m. peak hour.
Comments:
1. The Study needs to provide an analysis of the existing LOS with and without the
proposed development as outlined in the Section 1001.013(2)(c).
See revised memo from Spack. The revised Traffic Study addressed a
portion of this comment. The Study should also consider what the impacts
are for an interim analysis a year after the development is completed as
well as the no-build conditions without development for comparison.
The May 17, 2018 revised Traffic Study addressed a portion of this comment: on page 5
for the planning level screening analysis by including the 2015 no-build analysis.
However, an interim year was not considered to address when improvements with a two
lane facility may be need prior to the 4 lane facility being constructed. In addition,
the Intersection Analysis on page 7 and 8 did not include the 2015 no-build or interim
year analysis.
Following discussions with the developers engineer an updated revised Traffic Study
dated June 4, 2018 was prepared to address the remaining portion of the comment. The
Study now includes the analysis of the interim 2021 conditions with the proposed
development with existing geometric conditions.
Noted per comment above.
2.Projected traffic from any future phases of development (extension of Street B, Street C,
and Lino Lakes Elementary) that would use Street A to access Main Street (CSAH 14)
should be included in the analysis. See revised memo from Spack.
3.It is anticipated that Street A would require designated turn lanes at Main Street.
The Study should evaluate the intersection of the new Site Access Street (Street A) and
Main Street (CSAH 14) for both safety and operations. It is anticipated that Anoka
County Highway Department will require right and left turn lanes on CSAH 14 (Main
Street). The turn lane construction shall be add throughout the preliminary plat
documents.
Turn lanes denoted throughout the plans. Detailed turn lane construction plans will be
part of the final construction plans.
4. Upgrading Main Street (CSAH 14) to a 4-lane roadway has been identified by both
Anoka County and the City for some time in the future but has not been programed.
Therefore, should the analysis show that existing conditions do not require
improvements at Street A and Main Street (CSAH 14), documentation should be
provided of when in the future with the existing lane configurations the improvements
would be needed. See revised memo from Spack.
5.Assuming that the intersection of Main Street (CSAH 14) and Lake Drive (CSAH 23)
will be addressed in the future, no further analysis over what is included in the current
Traffic Study would be required. Comment noted.
6. Street A and Street C shall be 32 feet wide from face of curb to face of curb. The plans
currently show back of curb. As discussed, 32’ back to back is acceptable.
7.The cul-du-sac widths can be reduced to 28 feet wide from face of curb to face of curb.
Cul-de-sacs have been updated to 28’ back to back. As discussed, 28’ back to
back is acceptable.
Cul-de-sacs shall be 30’ back to back.
Cul-de-sac widths updated to 30’ back to back.
8.The ACD 10-22-32 crossing shall be wide enough to accommodate the road, a 5 foot
buffer and an 8.5 foot wide trail with 4:1 side slope tapers.
Ditch crossing updated. Street C extended to the northern property line.
9.The future trail extension along 10-22-32 should be relocated to the same crossing as
Street C. Thus there would only be one ditch crossing.
Ditch crossing updated.
10.There is a future trail planned along the north side of Main Street. The plans shall
include the grading for this trail. This will likely also require hydrant relocation.
Grading for a future trail has been incorporated. Hydrants will be relocated at the
time of trail construction.
11.The applicant shall remove the trees identified in the Landscaping Plan from the sight
line triangle of Street A and Main Street (CSAH) 14. Revised per city comments.
12.A bituminous trail is recommended through this site. As noted in the wetland section of
this report the proposed location, along Lots 1-6 Block 3, is within the 25 foot buffer and
should be relocated. The proposed trail location is allowed by RCWD rules and
will therefore not be relocated. According to RCWD Rule F 6(e)(7)(iii) – Buffer may
enclose a linear surface for non-motorized travel no more than 10 feet in width. The
linear surface must be at least 25 feet from the wetland edge. The area of the linear
surface will not be eligible for replacement credit. For projects proposing non-
motorized travel no more than 10 feet in width, the linear surface may be reduced to less
than 25 feet from the wetland edge based on compelling need and a TEP
recommendation to the District in support that the wetland protection afforded is
reasonable given the circumstances. Per Kjolhaug Environmental Services.
13.The proposed sidewalks were reviewed. Pedestrian curb ramps will be required, and
reviewed with the final construction plans. Comment noted.
14.Street C temporary cul du sac should have continual curb and gutter and temporary
paved eyebrows. The storm sewer will need to be adjusted.
Temporary cul-de-sac and storm sewer has been updated.
15. The Revised Traffic Study provided a summary of the Level of Service for each
intersection movement for CSAH 14 and Street A. It concludes that in the build
2030 and build 2030+ conditions the southbound left turn would operate at a LOS F.
Are the recommended improvements discussed on page 9 of the Study included with
the build analysis? If not, what is the change in Level of Service with these
improvements? What is the Level of Service for the interim year (see comment #1)?
What is the Level of Service in the no-build condition?
This comment was not addressed in the May 17, 2018 revised Traffic Study. Following
discussion with the developers engineer an updated revised Traffic Study, dated June 4,
2018 was prepared which did address the comment. The Study concluded that a
southbound right turn lane would be needed at the CSAH 14 and Street A intersection. It
appears the preliminary plat roadway width accommodates this and should be verified
with the final plat (striping plan).
Noted per comment above.
16. The applicant shall move the trail crossing to the intersection of Street C and Street
E.
17. The applicant shall widen the sidewalk in front of Block 8, Lot 1 to 8.5 feet between
the trail connections.
18. The applicant shall show striped crosswalks for the trail crossings with the final plat.
19. Applicant shall adjust slopes on the back side of the trail to be a 4:1 specifically at the
ACD 10-22-32 ditch crossing. This may require extending the culvert length.
20. The applicant should install a fence or guardrail on the east side of the trail near Sta.
8+25.
21. It is suggested that the applicant move the trail crossing near Sta. 8+25 to the south,
away from the ditch crossing. Note: the low point location would be adjusted so that
the catch basins do not interfere with the pedestrian ramps.
• Wetlands and Mitigation Plan
The Nature’s Refuge development site includes 7 wetlands on 41.55 acres as outlined in the
WCA Notice of Decision approved by RCWD. The plan proposes to fill 2 acres of wetlands,
some of which are denoted as “high priority wetlands” in the city’s Comprehensive Plan. A
wetland sequencing application was submitted by Kjolhaug Environmental Services to
RCWD on January 8, 2018 and is currently incomplete. Approval of a complete sequencing
application and submittal and approval of a wetland replacement plan will be required prior
to issuance of a grading permit.
Wetlands on the project are located within the Wetland Management Corridor and will
require mitigation as noted in Rice Creek Watershed District’s Rule F (Wetland Alteration),
Section 6(b). Wetland 1 is not located within the WMC. All other wetlands are located
within the WMC. Per Kjolhaug Environmental Services.
1. An average 50-foot buffer (25-foot minimum) will be required around all wetland areas
following construction. It does not appear that the proposed buffers meet the minimum
buffer requirement in all locations.
In an effort to minimize impacts to wetlands yet meet project purpose and need,
proposed WMC buffer does not meet minimum requirements along some areas of
proposed wetland fill. A variance application for these areas will be submitted to
RCWD for review with the revised Wetland Permit. Per Kjolhaug Environmental
Services.
2. A 10-foot bituminous trail is proposed within the upland buffer adjacent to the wetland in
Outlot B. This trail must maintain 25-feet from the edge of the wetland. The City’s
Environmental Coordinator is reviewing the wetland buffer areas.
Noted.
3. Two deep (30+ foot deep) ponds (Pond 200 and Pond 300) are proposed adjacent to
wetlands within the project. The adjacent wetlands are denoted as “high priority
wetlands” in the city’s Comprehensive Plan and are noted as having exceptional
vegetative diversity. The applicant shall take steps to ensure that the ponds will not drain
the adjacent wetland areas. In the WCA Wetland Replacement Plan, the developer shall
provide a plan to protect adjacent wetlands, the plan shall also include a mitigation plan if
the wetlands are impacted post construction.
With regards to pond construction and potential drainage effects on adjacent wetlands:
• Pond 300 in the northeast portion of the development area will be a maximum of 22 feet
deep, has a predicted NWL of 902-ft, and has no outlet (no outlet structure or emergency
overflow). In reality, the open water portion of Pond 200 will be the elevation of the local
water table and will vary throughout the year as the water table does because the pond
does not have a controlled outlet to stabilize water levels. Because the pond does not
have an outlet to drawn water down, it will not drain nearby wetlands (there is no where
to drain the water if there is no outlet). For these reasons, drainage effects to Wetlands 3,
3a, or 3b from Pond 200 construction are not expected to occur. A similar pond with no
outlet was constructed onsite sometime after 1991 near the proposed wetland banking
wetland. That large, deep, open-water pond was excavated adjacent to wetland and has
not resulted in wetland drainage.
• Pond 200 will be excavated in around the west end of ACD 10-22-32 (west of the current
ditch crossing). The ditch currently drains freely to the west (no controlled outlet). Water
levels in the ditch were measured at 901.5-feet by the engineer. Therefore, newly
constructed Pond 200 will have an OSC with V notch weir invert of 901.5-ft with the top
of the weir at 902.5-ft. The adjacent wetland the southeast (Wetland 2) will have a NWL
of 902.0-ft, and will have a raised outlet (EOF only) at 902.5-ft. Wetland 2 will need to
be inundated with over 6 inches of water to outlet to Pond 200. That occurrence alone,
usually occurring early in the growing season, will meet wetland hydrology
requirements. For the remainder of the growing season, Pond 200 and adjacent Wetland
2 water levels will fluctuate with precipitation events and normal seasonal water table
level variations. For these reasons, drainage effects to Wetland 2 from Pond 200
construction are not expected to occur.
• Wetland 4 to the northwest of Pond 200 will not have an outlet, will not be connected to
Pond 200, and will be physically separated by the pond maintenance bench/berm. For
these reasons, drainage effects to Wetland 4 from Pond 200 construction are not
expected to occur.
• The current and proposed ditch crossing culvert invert elevations and size are equal pre
and post development. Therefore, drainage effects to upstream wetlands are not expected
to occur.
Per Kjolhaug Environmental Services
Applicant is submitting a geotechnical report addressing the existing wetland & soil
conditions and present any proposals to protect the adjacent wetlands as needed.
See attached Wetland permit application. Geotechnical report to be submitted when
received.
4.A review of the DNR’s Natural Heritage Information System (NHIS) Database revealed
that rare features have been recorded in or near the wetlands on the property. In 2002,
toothcup (Rotala ramosior), a state threatened species, was located within one wetland
that is proposed to be filled. Autumn fimbry (Fimbristylis autumnalis) and Blanding’s
turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) have also been recorded near the project site. The
developer will need to coordinate with the DNR to obtain a permit for the take (destroy,
dig up, dispose of, possess, or transport) of threatened or endangered species.
MnRAM guidance and the 2017 Native Plant Communities Assessment Final
Report prepared by CCES have been reviewed. Based on this review and for
WCA/RCWD purposes, vegetation quality for all wetlands onsite was determined
to be low, with an associated RCWD wetland degradation status of marginally to
severely degraded. Specifically: (1) rare plants found onsite are not persistent and
therefore item i of the special features tab in MnRAM does not apply and vegetation
quality is Low, and (2) although the Native Plant Communities Assessment Final
Report identified rare species onsite, the report also states that (paraphrasing)
“these rare species were located within areas dominated by crops or agricultural
weeds. While state-listed species do occur within cropland and farmed wetland
areas, their presence alone is not enough to classify these areas as native plant
communities or rare native plant communities.” Rare plants were primarily found
in disturbed, annually farmed wetland fringe areas. Per Kjolhaug Environmental
Services.
5.The ghost plat shown in Outlot B on the north end of the project (Sheet 10) appears to
propose future wetland impacts. These impacts should be taken into account during the
sequencing efforts discussed by the Wetland Conservation Act Technical Evaluation
Panel. Road alignments should be considered that would minimize future wetland
impacts. The ghost plat is now shown to be proposed and has been modified to
prevent wetland impacts.
A permit to take has been submitted to DNR by CCES for all rare species
located in the development footprint (areas that will be physically
altered/graded/converted to another use). It is important to note that the
presence of rare species onsite is largely a function annual soil
disturbance/farming practices. Once farming practices on the site cease (with
or without development), rare species occurrence on the site is predicted to
drop. Per Kjolhaug Environmental Services.
• Geotechnical
A geotechnical evaluation was completed in response to the concerns over draining the
adjacent Pin Oak wetland and impacts to adjacent wells.
1. The introductory paragraph and overall report shall provide recommendations for not
only “dewatering” but also reference the” large borrow areas (Ponds 200 & 300) adjacent
to existing wetlands”.
To be provided with updated Geo report.
2. The applicant shall provide a map of identifying the location and quantity of piezometers
and another map of auger probes.
To be provided with updated Geo report.
3. The applicant shall provide an evaluation of subsurface geologic feature mapping that can
suspend water, or drain with the ground water flow in the absence of geologic
“lens”. The Minnesota Geologic survey would be a good reference and soil augerings,
mentioned above, to verify lens or no lens.
To be provided with updated Geo report.
4. The applicant shall provide a document specifically outline the plan to address well
impacts and a plan to address wetland impacts that may occur as a result of this
development. The plan may include items suggested in geotechnical memo, clay berms
and clay lining of the borrow areas.
To be provided with updated Geo report.
5. We recommend that the City, through the Development Agreement, require securities for
mitigation costs associated with protecting the adjacent Pin Oak wetland and adjacent
wells.
Noted.
• Floodplain
The floodplain within the Nature’s Refuge development is a Zone A. The 2015 DFIRM base
flood elevation (BFE) from RCWD modeling identifies the BEF elevations of 904.5 (easterly
floodplain) and 904.2 (westerly floodplain). The applicant is proposing to fill 37 cubic yards
of floodplain and mitigate onsite. There are 29,533 cubic yards of floodplain mitigation
proposed on site.
1. Floodplain impacts are proposed on site due to stormwater ponding and structures, and
Lots 4-5 Block 3. A LOMR will be required. The applicant shall provide a copy of the
CLOMR application to the City. The LOMR is to be in place prior to final plat.
This is not required as the floodplain boundary does not encroach any of the lots.
Noted.
• Drainage and Utility Easements
The municipal infrastructure proposed with the Nature’s Refuge Preliminary Plat is generally
within public right of way, easements and outlot.
1. Anoka County requires 75 foot right of way be dedicated along Main Street (CSAH 14).
Right of way updated along Main Street.
75 feet of right of way provided.
2.The right of way shown in the Ghost Plat shall be dedicated with the Plat.
Ghost plat is now shown to be proposed.
3.Street A, at Main Street (CSAH 14), will require turn lanes and thus additional right of
way. Turn lanes added. No further Right of Way required.
4.Lot 25 Block 1 shall have a 20 foot drainage and utility easement for watermain looped
connection. Easement added.
5.Lot 5 Block 1 shall be chamfered at the northeast corner to accommodate future access
to Pond 100. Plan updated and access path added.
6.Bituminous trails shall be within 25 foot easements if not within right of way or outlot.
Bituminous trail is only proposed in right of way or an outlot.

CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 18-70
APPROVING PUD DEVELOPMENT STAGE PLAN/PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR
NATURE’S REFUGE
WHEREAS, the City received an application for PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat
for Nature’s Refuge hereafter referred to as “Development”; and
WHEREAS, City staff completed a review of the “Development” based on the following:
June 15, 2018: Preliminary Plan Set prepared by Carlson McCain
June 16, 2018: HydroCAD report prepared by Carlson McCain
June 15, 2018: Tree Inventory Report, prepared by Carlson McCain
June 4, 2018: Traffic Study prepared by Spack Consulting
April 18, 2018: Revised WCA Wetland Permit Application, prepared by Kjolhaug
Environmental Services Company; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Planning & Zoning Board on February 14,
2018 and continued to May 9, 2018 and the Board recommended approval of the
“Development”; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The City Council of The City of Lino Lakes
hereby makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
PUD, Planned Unit Development
Per Section 1007.024(1) Purpose and Intent, the PUD, by allowing deviation from the strict
provisions of this Ordinance related to setbacks, heights, lot area, width and depths, yards, etc.,
by conditional use permit or a mixture of uses by rezoning to a PUD District, is intended to
encourage:
a. A development pattern in harmony with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed Nature’s Refuge PUD conservation subdivision is consistent with the goals and
policies of the comprehensive plan in regards to resource management, land use, housing,
transportation and utilities. The development upholds the City’s public values by creating a
multi-functional open space greenway corridor integrated with the stormwater conveyance
system, wetland management and trails. Nature’s Refuge is consistent with residential land use
and density requirements. Safe transportation corridors and public utilities also serve the
development.
b. Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of economic
expansion, greater variety in type, design, architectural standards, and siting of
structures through the conservation and more efficient use of land in such
developments.
2
Flexible site design with narrower minor collector road right-of-way and reduced setbacks
allows Nature’s Refuge to develop a residential conservation subdivision and construct of an
extensive greenway corridor and storm water management system.
c. The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing
vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil
erosion.
Restoration and enhancements within Wetland 2 and Wetland 3 (wetland bank area) will boost
vegetative diversity through release and stimulation of existing native seeds. Rare plant species
will also thrive and expand as a result of the restoration.
d. A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and
orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other.
Nature’s Refuge creates a multi-functional greenway corridor by integrating the stormwater
management system, wetland management and open space areas and trails into one unified
system. The trails and sidewalks connect the residential development to the elementary school
and Main Street.
e. An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby
lowering development costs and public investments.
Reduced minor collector road right-of-way widths and setbacks provide an efficient use of land
and lowers development and public investments.
f. Promotion of a desirable and creative environment that might be prevented through
the strict application of City zoning and subdivision regulations.
Strict application of an 80 foot right-of-way width and 40 foot setback would result in greater
impacts to the wetlands and natural resources.
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
3
6. Growth management policies, including MUSA allocation criteria.
Nature’s Refuge 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.
Nature’s Refuge is consistent with infill policies. The development is within the current Utility
Staging Area 1A (2008-2015). The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system is
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
requirements for level of service (LOS), as defined by the Highway Capacity Manual.
Nature’s Refuge meets the requirements for level of service. The Traffic Study states the traffic
impacts at intersections along CSAH 14 (Main Street) will continue to operate acceptably at a
Level of Service C. Right and left turn lanes on CSAH 14 (Main Street) are being constructed.
This is supported by Anoka County Highway Department. The City and County are also working
with Lino Lake Elementary School to eliminate their westerly driveway and connect with
Nature’s Refuge.
(d) Water supply. A proposed subdivision shall be deemed to have an adequate water
supply.
Nature’s Refuge will have an adequate water supply. A 12” trunk watermain located along
CSAH 14 (Main Street) serves the site. An 8” and 16” watermain serve the site internally and
loops the system to CSAH 14 (Main Street). Watermain will be stubbed to the west and north
property boundaries for future development.
(e) Waste disposal systems. A proposed subdivision shall be served with adequate waste
disposal systems.
Nature’s Refuge will be served with an adequate waste disposal system. A 21” trunk sanitary
sewer main located along CSAH 14 (Main Street) serves the site. An 8” and 10” sanitary sewer
pipe serves the site. Future development to the north will potentially require a lift station.
Sanitary sewer will also be stubbed to the west to accommodate future development; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by The City Council of The City of Lino Lakes hereby
provides the following PUD, Planned Unit Development flexibility for Nature’s Refuge:
1. Reduced minor collector road right-of-way width from 80 feet to 60 feet on Street A and
Street C
2. Reduced front setback from 40 feet to 30 feet on Street A and Street C
3. Reduced paved road surface width from 32 feet to 30 feet (back to back) on cul de sac
Street D and cul de sac Street E; and

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 6D
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Diane Hankee PE, City Engineer
MEETING DATE: June 25, 2018
TOPIC: Resolution of Support Federal Funding for I 35E and County Road
J Interchange, and the Centerville Road and County Road J
Intersection Project
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote Required
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting Council consideration for supporting federal funding for the Interstate (I)
35E and County Road J Interchange, and the Centerville Road and County Road J Intersection
Projects.
BACKGROUND
The City Council passed a resolution on October 9, 2017 approving the Intersection Control
Evaluation (ICE) Report for the Centerville Road and County Road J intersection. The
intersection is under the jurisdiction of multiple agencies including: the City of Lino Lakes, City
of North Oaks, Anoka County and Ramsey County. These agencies along with the Minnesota
Department of Transportation (MnDOT) approved the report.
The ICE report identified that under existing conditions the southbound approach and the
westbound right turn movements were having unsatisfactory levels of service in the a.m. and
p.m. peak periods. The study used the City’s existing traffic (2018), and projected traffic based
on future land use (2038), to determine acceptable levels of service. The analysis concluded that
either a traffic signal system or roundabout would address the unsatisfactory levels of service,

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 6E
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: June 25, 2018
TOPIC: Consider 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 07-18, Amending City
Code Section 1007 Related to Driveway Surfacing, Airplane
Hangar and Hangar Access Performance Standards
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to amend City Code Section 1007 to amend
driveway, airplane hangar and hangar access performance standards.
BACKGROUND
Within the City of Lino Lakes are two unique residential developments that are constructed
around private airports. Both Lino Air Park/Century Farm North and Surf Side Addition
provide for the construction of airplane hangars and taxiway access to the airports.
In December of 2017 the City Council was approached by representatives of Lino Air Park
concerning hangar access from public roads. The representatives requested modification of
existing City Zoning Ordinance requirements to provide additional flexibility to access airplane
hangars from public streets.
The City Council directed staff to work with the Air Park to develop a solution that would
accommodate the needs of the property owners.
The City Council approved the 1st Reading of the ordinance at the June 11, 2018 regular
meeting.
ANALYSIS
The City Zoning Ordinance establishes performance standards for accessory buildings,
driveway construction, driveway access to public streets, driveway setbacks, and maximum
impervious surface.
Proposed Amendment
Staff has worked with the City Attorney to address and clarify driveway surfacing requirements
and develop a general provision section of the zoning ordinance that would relate specifically
to air parks including both Lino Air Park and Surfside Addition. The provisions include the
following:
2
1. Amends Section 1007.044 (3) h. to clarify requirements for surfacing of driveways.
(Applies to all driveways and parking areas). Driveway must be hard surfaced unless
property is 1 acre in size or greater.
2. Provides for a construction of a 3,200 square foot hangar at both private airports. The
current ordinance only applies to Lino Airpark.
3. Allows for a 3 foot side yard driveway setback. Encroachment into the setback is
allowed as a shared driveway with an access and maintenance agreement with abutting
property owners.
4. Allows for improvements within drainage easement subject to City Engineer approval.
The property owner is responsible for any removal costs.
5. Allows for a secondary access if principal driveway cannot be extended or expanded
without encroachment into setback, abutting property or prohibited areas of front yard.
6. The allowable Maximum Impervious Surface percentage is increased to 65%.
7. Deletes the existing hangar provisions in Section 1007.043(4)(i)4.h.
