Re: NE Lino Lakes Drainage Area Improvements Funding
Background
On October 22, 2018, the City Council authorized preparation of plans and specifications
for phase 1 and 2 of the NE Lino Lakes Drainage Improvement Project. The
improvements will provide an improved drainage outlet for approximately 1,350 acres of
future residential, commercial and industrial land within the City.
The project is proposed to funded though the Surface Water Management Fund (SWMF).
The SWMF was established in 1992 to fund costs associated administrative, planning and
trunk stormwater costs associated with the City’s Surface Water Management System.
Similar to the city’s trunk sewer and water fund, the city collects a SWM fee with all new
residential, commercial and industrial developments. The fee is based on net developable
area (gross area less wetlands, arterial roads, parks). The city also provides credit for
open space preservation, and developer installed oversizing of trunk stormwater
improvements. The current fee is as follows:
Single/two family lots $ 6,865 per acre
Multi-family lots $ 9,235 per acre
Commercial/Industrial/Institutional Property $10,225 per acre
As noted the surface water management fund will the funding source for the NE Drainage
Area improvements. The SWM fee for the Watermark project, representing
approximately ¼ of the drainage area, is approximately $2.1 million. Staff is working
with Springsted, the City’s Financial Advisor, on the financing mechanism for the
project. Mikaela Huot, from Springsted, will be present at the meeting to discuss the
possible use of Tax Abatement Bonds as the preferred bonding option.
Requested Council Direction
None Required. Discussion only.

Re: All Seasons Rental Project Update (7932 Lake Drive)
Background
In August 2017, the City Council approved a conditional use permit and site plan for All
Seasons Rental to allow for the construction a new 7,740 sf commercial building at 7932
Lake Drive. Since that time, the owners have been securing financing for the new
construction.
Financial realities have resulted in changes to the exterior materials and overall look of
the building. The original building proposed a 2 story design with lower level display
and warehouse area and an upper level office and conference room area. The building
footprint was 7,740 sf. Exterior materials included brick, pre-colored concrete block,
precast concrete stone, EFIS and glass. Colors were red brick and tan earth tones.
The owners have submitted revised building plans for a 1 story facility. The building
footprint remains 7,740 sf. Exterior materials include shake siding, struktuoc wall panels
with stucco finish, versetta stone and glass. Colors are brown and tan earth tones. The
exterior materials and percentages meet ordinance performance standards.
Staff wanted to make Council aware of the building changes. Staff is currently working
with the owners on possible changes to the fencing along Lake Drive. The original
proposal was decorative, wrought iron fencing. All fencing will meet ordinance
performance standards. There are no other changes to the site plan.
Requested Council Direction
None. Information only.

Re: 49 & J Trunk Utility Improvements – Easement Acquisition
Background
Following discussion at the October 1, 2018 work session staff has entered into discussions with
property owners along Ash Street regarding easements and possible property acquisition.
Parcel #1, 255 Ash Street
Sanitary sewer force main and trunk water main are proposed to be extended across the rear of
this property. A 20’wide easement will required across the rear of this property. The owner is
has been willing to work with the City but is in the process of selling the property at this time.
WSB completed the Minimum Damage Acquisition Report and we have reached agreement with
the property owner on acquisition of the utility easement in the amount of $13,500. Staff has
placed this on the November 12, 2018 council meeting for consideration.
The property owner is asking $200,000 for the property. WSB is reviewing comparables. Staff
is requesting council direction regarding whether to make an offer on the property.
Parcel #2, 275 Ash Street
Sanitary sewer force main and trunk water main are proposed to be extended across the rear of
this property. A 20’wide easement will required. An additional easement may be needed across
the front of the property to facilitate the sewer reversal. Acquisition of the entire property is
being evaluated.
• WSB has met with the property owners and is preparing an acquisition report for review
by the City Council and property owner.
Funding for acquisition would be from the Trunk Area and Unit fund.
Requested Council Direction
Staff is requesting council direction regarding acquisition of properties as noted.

Re: Comprehensive Plan Update
Background
The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed and commented on proposed Land Use District changes
and residential land use densities at the September 9, 2018 Planning & Zoning Board meeting.
The proposed changes and comments received were discussed at the October 1, 2018 City
Council meeting.
The board held additional discussion on the topic at the October 10, 2018 meeting. The board
has reached consensus on the following changes:
Proposed Changes
Land Use District Changes:
1. Establish a new Low Density Mixed Residential District (3.0 to 4.0 units per acre).
a. Low Density Mixed Residential provides for residential development between 3.0
and 4.0 units per acre. The category would allow inclusion of both attached and
detached housing types including single family detached, two-family homes,
townhomes and detached townhomes. Pedestrian and open space connections
should be provided to achieve a relationship with the larger community.
b. Reclassify the Watermark Development as Low Density Mixed Residential.
2. Establish a new Planned Residential/Commercial District (8-10 units per acre).
a. Planned Residential/Commercial provides a setting for high density development
to accommodate affordable and life cycle housing choices with opportunities for
neighborhood scale retail, service and office uses. Located in areas along high
traffic corridors the district provides a transition to lower density residential uses.
b. Residential development is proposed with requirements comparable to the City’s
R-4, Multi-family residential zoning district. Housing types in this district would
include townhomes, condominiums and potentially apartment developments in an
attached or stacked configuration. Emphasis on high quality architecture with
residential building heights of 2 to 3 stories maximum.
c. Compatible commercial uses allowed by Conditional Use Permit consistent with
the NB, Neighborhood Business and LB, Limited Business Districts.
d. Reclassify and include the following Mixed Use districts:
i. Robinson Farm/Main Street
ii. Lake Drive/77th (White Pines AL)
iii. Waldoch Farms
iv. Centerville Road/Birch Street
v. 80th Street West of I-35E
3. Establish a new Signature Gateway District (8-10 units per acre; up to 15 based on
defined goals)
a. The Signature Gateway District is reserved for high visibility, high traffic
corridors serving as an entrance to the Community. The district allows for
development of multiple complementary uses on a single site including a
combination of higher density residential, commercial services, and employment
opportunities.
b. Residential densities of 8-10 units an acre provide for both affordable and life
cycle housing opportunities. District would include ability for the Council to
approve up to 15 units/acre.
c. Development requires City approval of a master plan. Master plan has been
approved for the 49/J area.
d. Strong emphasis on high quality architecture and design standards.
e. Development will include City signature elements including decorative lighting
and entrance signage.
f. Reclassify and include the following Mixed Use districts:
i. CRJ and CR 49
ii. Lake Drive/Main Street
iii. Centerville Road/CRJ
4. Establish an Office/Medium Density Residential District (4 to 6 units per acre).
a. Provides for office and business uses and residential units at a density of 4 to 6
units per acre. Residential development is not required but should not exceed
50% of the land area.
b. Residential development should incorporate open space preservation, and expand
trail linkages.
c. Office uses include administrative, professional or clerical services including
medical clinics. Limited retail or services may be included.
d. Reclassify Winter Property from Mixed Use.
5. Establish a Town Center District (10-24 units per acre)
a. The southeast quadrant of the I-35W/Lake Drive interchange represents the
“downtown” Lino Lakes and the civic focal point for the community. The areas is
intended to integrate a mixture of commercial, high density housing and public
land uses in an attractive and cohesive design. City Hall, a YMCA, and a
community green emphasize the community focus.
b. A complete “Design and Development Guide” has been adopted to support the
community’s vision and established standards for all development in the Legacy
area. The guide allows for commercial, civic, and multi-family development with
a residential density ranging from 10 to 24 units per acre.
c. Approximately 9 acres of the project site remain undeveloped and are owned by
the City.
d. Reclassify the Legacy at Woods Edge from Mixed Use.
6. Eliminate the four acre Mixed Use area at Lake and Vicky (area D). This area is
proposed to be reclassified as Medium Density Residential.
Land Use Density Changes
Modify the residential density ranges as follows:
Land Use Category 2030 Plan
Units Per Acre
Proposed 2040
Units Per Acre
Low Density Residential 1.6 to 3.9 1.6 to 3.0
Low Density Mixed Residential N/A 3.0 to 4.0
Medium Density Residential 4.0 to 5.9 4.0 to 6.0
High Density Residential 6.0 to 10 6.0 to 8.0
Planned Residential/Commercial N/A 8.0 to 10
Signature Gateway N/A 8.0 to 10; max 15
Mixed Use 8-15; 10-24 N/A
Office- Medium Density Residential N/A 4.0 to 6.0
Town Center N/A 10-24
Redefine PUD process and minimum requirements
The Comprehensive Plan does not define or amend the Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Process. PUD requirements are established in the Zoning Ordinance. Any changes would be
part of a future zoning code amendment process.
However, the Implementation section of the Comprehensive Plan provides guidance on using the
plan and provides the “to do list” for work the city should undertake to ensure the plan is
implemented.
The Planning & Zoning Board discussed a process to review possible changes.
Staff is proposing that the “to do list” includes the following topics related to PUD’s:
• Evaluate the intent and purpose of the Planned Unit Development Process.
• Review PUD minimum requirements and amend as necessary.
o Consider minimums for lot area and garage size.
• Consider the establishment of “allowed” flexibilities.
o Lot width and depth, ROW/street width, setbacks
Next Steps
The Planning & Zoning Board will be holding additional discussion regarding the Planned
Residential/commercial and the Signature Gateway to refine development parameters in the
individual district locations.
Requested Council Direction
Staff is requesting comment on the proposed changes.
