MEMBERS PRESENT: Isaac Wipperfurth, Nathan Vojtech Michael Root, Perry Laden, Suzy Guthmueller, Patrick Kohler MEMBERS ABSENT: Neil Evenson STAFF PRESENT: Katie Larsen, Michael Grochala, Dana Rozan Planning & Zoning Board April 10, 2024 Page 2 DRAFT MINUTES Chris Stowe, 426 Pine St, wanted to bring the Board’s attention to zoning and planning concerns with his property. He began with the overview of the duties of the Planning and Zoning Board. He expressed concerns about major development and zoning projects coming up in the City of Lino Lakes. He also expressed concerns about residents having to pay higher taxes for development projects. He also wanted the City to protect Bald Eagle nest on the big tree north of the Robinson sod farms. Lonny Eibensteiner, 8180 Diane St, he did not sign the sign-up sheet, but Chair Root accepted his comment. He wanted to express concerns about building code enforcement and his concerns about his property regarding his second driveway along the City easement. He also expressed concern about misinformation from the City inspectors approving one permit and rejecting another. He also wanted to bring the Board’s attention to the complaints all along Diane St. Mr. Laden moved to close the open mike. Motion seconded by Mr. Wipperfurth. Motion carried 6 – 0. Open mike was closed at 6:46 p.m. 7. ACTION ITEMS A. Public Hearing: Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment-Sacred Communities and Micro-Unit Dwellings Ms. Larsen presented the staff report. During the 2023 legislative session, the Legislature passed a bill authorizing religious institutions beginning January 1, 2024 to site micro-unit dwellings on religious institution property. The state statute also requires cities to permit sacred settlements of micro units either via a permitted use or conditional use. Staff recommends the Board adopts the conditional use permit. Mr. Wipperfurth asked if the City can enforce zoning exterior material requirements upon those applying for this. Ms. Larsen replied that the City would have to be consistent with what the State statute says, which is exterior material should be compatible with single-family residential requirements. Mr. Vojtech asked what the process would be to pull a permit like this. Ms. Larsen responded they must go through the conditional use permit, which lays out all the requirements, and plan review and site review process. Planning & Zoning Board April 10, 2024 Page 3 DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Vojtech also asked if an individual can turn an existing building into a religious institute. Ms. Larsen replied that you could if you meet the requirements within the conditional use permit, including parking requirements and so on. Mr. Root expressed concerns about the standards and minimum requirements needed, including the setbacks. Mr. Root also suggested considering residential areas also can fall under the conditional use permits. He commented on the State statute which states religious institutes/sacred communities need security as well. Mr. Vojtech asked about the security protocols, if it could be interpreted as something and if those standards are not met, and if the City would revoke the conditional use permit. Ms. Larsen replied that staff will investigate the language a bit more closely. Ms. Guthmueller asked if there is a limit to how many micro-dwellings can be built in a sacred community. Ms. Larsen replied if they meet the setback requirements then it can be as many as they could. Chair Root opened the public hearing to the public at 7:05 p.m. Doug Malsom, 8210 Diane St, asked what the tax rates are going to be when the micro-dwellings are put in. He expressed concerns about how the religious institutes do not have to pay taxes, therefore the residents will have to pay more taxes. He also suggested the City sue the State as protest against the statute. Chris Stowe, 426 Pine St, agreed with Mr. Malsom. Angella Coil, 7672 Sunset Ave, asked what parameters are set for the communities, for example, how many people are in the micro-units, who are moving in, such as no background check, etc. Where are the people coming from, such as where are the homeless people coming from who are increasing crime and drug trafficking. She also said that she likes the small community and would like it to stay that way. Mr. Wipperfurth moved to close the public hearing. Motion seconded by Mr. Laden. The public hearing was closed at 7:09 p.m. Chair Root entertained a motion to approve the proposed zoning text amendment with the conditional use permit regarding sacred communities and micro- dwellings. Planning & Zoning Board April 10, 2024 Page 4 DRAFT MINUTES Ms. Guthmueller asked if there is further flexibility as to what the ordinance change can be. Ms. Larsen responded that there are two options, whether to adopt a permitted use or a conditional use permit. Chair Root clarified that if the Board rejected the recommendation, then people are still allowed to pull the permit. It is already a law, and it is required. The only option the City has is permitted use or a conditional use permit. Mr. Kohler made a motion to approve the zoning text amendment. Motion seconded by Chair Root. Mr. Vojtech mentioned that there are other State statutes in which residents can express concerns with State legislatures. Motion carried 6 – 0. B. Public Hearing: Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment-Building Type and Construction and Exterior Materials Ms. Larsen presented the staff report. At the March 13, 2024 Planning & Zoning meeting during site and building review of 440 Park Court, the Board suggested to require higher architectural standards along certain corridors in the City. This will be discussed later. City staff also met with architect professionals to read over the ordinance and see if there was any language they can change for clarification. Ms. Larsen said that the architect thought the language was very clear. Ms. Larsen also said that the staff is considering stucco, which is a class two material. Be moved to class three, which would limit the amount of stucco material commercial buildings could use. No questions from the Board. Chair Root opened the public hearing at 7:22 p.m. Chris Stowe, 426 Pine St, expressed concerns about what the material of the micro-houses will be. He also expressed concerns that he does not appreciate the sign-up sheet because people do not know what is being talked about until it starts. Mr. Laden moved to close the public hearing. Motion seconded by Mr. Vojtech. The public hearing closed at 7:25 p.m. Mr. Vojtech moved to approve the proposed zoning ordinance text amendment subject to conditions listed in the staff report. Motion seconded by Mr. Wipperfurth. Motion carried 6 – 0. C. Jansen Addition Final Plat Planning & Zoning Board April 10, 2024 Page 5 DRAFT MINUTES Ms. Larsen presented the staff report. The applicant, Boulder Contracting, submitted a land use application for final plat for Jansen Addition. The applicant proposes to subdivide the existing parcel located at 523 Lois Lane into three (3) single family lots for the purpose of constructing two (2) new single-family homes. The lot is 1.11 gross acres (48,510 sf). Staff recommend approval of the final plat. Mr. Vojtech asked if there were other plats that break close to the size of the lot. Ms. Larsen replied yes, they receive some plats that come in close. Mr. Laden made a motion to approve the final plat. Mr. Kohler seconded. Motion carried 6 – 0. 7. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Notification Requirements for Developments Mr. Wipperfurth suggested that the City should put up signs about the Robinson sod farm development. He also asked if the City asks for the school district approval of development projects. Mr. Grochala said that notifications on developments are required by State law. He also said they do meet with the school districts at least twice a year to notify them of proposed developments, but they do not request any input. Schools are also supportive of future developments. Mr. Wipperfurth asked if the Board should be asking the school board for comments. Ms. Guthmueller said it would not be necessary to ask the school board for comments, but it would be difficult for schools because there are many tasks that they must prepare for. She suggested notifying the school board about big developments is a good heads up because they can react appropriately and prepare. Ms. Larsen replied that the City can add school districts to the distribution list when sending out notifications. Mr. Grochala said they looked at the vicinity of the notifications. For example, for the Sod farms it was only 600 ft. They want to be cautious about setting up the Planning & Zoning Board April 10, 2024 Page 6 DRAFT MINUTES notification vicinity because they want to reach everyone within a reasonable distance, but the vicinity is also dependent on the type and size of the development. Mr. Laden asked what the notification requirements are regarding neighborhood meetings. Ms. Larsen replied that it was 600 ft according to the preliminary plat. Ms. Guthmueller agreed with Mr. Wipperfurth about how important transparency is when doing something big, and notifying more people is better. A. Lake Drive Corridor Architectural Design Standards Mr. Grochala suggested to the Board that staff need to come up with a design overlay. Mr. Laden commented on looking at the city as a whole and seeing where they wanted to do that. Especially commercial lots and industrial zoned areas that have a high visibility. Mr. Grochala suggested at the next meeting that they map out those areas and discuss what the next steps would be with some maps and photos. B. Project Updates Staff provided an update on projects. Mr. Wipperfurth suggested a discussion item at the next meeting about the religious communities and zoning text amendments to discuss the screening and setbacks. Chair Root agreed but added that the Board should discuss what the standards already are. Mr. Wipperfurth moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by Ms. Guthmueller. The meeting was adjourned at 7:49 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Dana Rozan – Office Specialist 1 PLANNING & ZONING BOARD AGENDA ITEM 6A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Katie Larsen, City Planner MEETING DATE: May 8, 2024 REQUEST: PUBLIC HEARING: Linda Avenue Addition Preliminary Plat CASE NUMBER: PP2024-002 APPLICANT: James Christiansen 2 Blue Flag Court North Oaks, MN 55127 OWNER: Same REVIEW DEADLINE: Complete Application Date: April 10, 2024 60-Day Review Deadline:June 9, 2024 120-Day Review Deadline:August 8, 2024 Environmental Board Meeting: April 24, 2024 Park Board Meeting: N/A Planning & Zoning Board Meeting: May 8, 2024 Tentative City Council Work Session: June 3, 2024 Tentative City Council Meeting: June 10, 2024 INTRODUCTION The applicant, James Christiansen, is proposing to subdivide the existing lot located at 6217 Hodgson Road into two (2) lots for the purpose of constructing two (2) new single family houses.

The preliminary plat only indicates 17ft. Lot areas and widths will change but they still appear to meet zoning requirements. This will be confirmed with the revised submittal. Building Requirements At the time of building permit, the single family houses proposed on the lots will be reviewed for compliance regarding impervious surface, building footprint area, garage size, and design and construction standards. Subdivision Ordinance The existing lot was platted in 1949 as part of the Arthur E. Thom Acres plat. 5 Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code The preliminary plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for low density residential development and zoning code requirements for R-1, Single Family Residential as detailed above. Blocks and Lots The preliminary plat contains Lots 1-2, Block 1, Linda Avenue Addition. As noted above, Lots 1 and 2 propose new single family houses. Streets and Alleys Lots 1 and 2 will be served by Linda Avenue which is a minor collector road. The existing road right-of-way width is 66 ft which is consistent with previously approved plats in the area. No additional road right-of-way is needed. A total of 27ft of additional road right-of-way along CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) is required. The preliminary plat only indicates 17ft and shall be revised. Easements Standard drainage and utility easements at least ten (10) feet wide have been provided along all other lot lines. A 35ft wide U.P.A. Easement for overhead electric line exists along the rear lot line. Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Per City Engineer Memo dated May 1, 2024, stormwater management is not required under City ordinance. Anoka County Highway Department (ACHD) requires drainage calculations and that the post-developed rate/volume of runoff must not exceed the pre-developed rate/volume of runoff for the 10-year storm event. Utilities Sanitary Sewer The demolished house was on a private septic system. The septic system shall be properly removed. An 8” sanitary sewer main exists along Linda Avenue and laterals are stubbed to both Lots 1 and 2. Both houses will be connected to municipal sanitary sewer. 6 Watermain The demolished house was on a private well. The well shall be properly abandoned. A 12” watermain exists along Linda Avenue and laterals are stubbed to both Lots 1 and 2. Both houses will be connected to municipal water. Public Land Dedication The proposed subdivision is within the Woods of Baldwin Park neighborhood service area. The subdivision is not within the greenway system. The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication for one (1) new lot. The lot had an existing house that was recently demolished and will not be charged a park dedication fee. Park Dedication Fees Total # of Lots = 1 x 2024 Park Dedication Fee $3,300 = Total Due $3,300 Screening, Landscaping, Buffer Yards and Tree Preservation Per the April 24, 2024 Environmental Board staff report: Boulevard Trees Boulevard trees are required for all new residential subdivisions at a rate of one tree per lot frontage. Boulevard trees are shown on the landscape plan for both lots. Boulevard tree requirements have been met. Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards The purpose of these standards is to protect valuable trees and stands of vegetation while not interfering with landowners’ reasonable use and development of property. The goal is to minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, biodiversity, and forest resources and to replace removed trees in areas where tree cover is most critical. A tree survey was performed that identified: 7 The trees planned for removal are in the Basic Use Area and will not require mitigation trees to be planted. An ash tree planned for removal is outside of the Basic Use Area but will not require mitigation due to the prevalence of Emerald ash borer in the area. There are 7 other infested ash trees that must be removed from the property as well. The trees planned for preservation on the west perimeter must have Tree Protection Zones installed in accordance with the City Tree Protection Fence Detail. This is noted on the Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan (Sheet C1.1). The same note must be added to the Landscape Plan (Sheet L1) in place of landscaping note #3. Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards have been met. Open Areas Landscape Standards Open areas standards do not apply to single family residential lots. Buffer and Screen Standards The purpose of this requirement is to separate and buffer different land use types, screen roads and parking, and screen utility and loading areas. A 6-foot buffer and screen will be required for the east perimeter abutting Hodgson Road. This screen can be trees, shrubs, a fence, or some combination of these as described in City Code Section 1007.049 (6)(b). Buffer and screen standards have not been met. Canopy Cover Canopy cover standards to not apply to single family residential development. Foundation Landscaping Foundation landscaping standards do not apply to single family residential development. Sod and Ground Cover Standards Total Trees 45 Total Trees Removed 7 Total Trees Preserved 38 Mitigation Trees Required 0 8 All areas not otherwise improved in accordance with the approved site plans shall have a minimum depth of 4 inches of topsoil and be sodded including boulevard areas. Seed may be provided in lieu of sod in certain cases, including when the area is adjacent to natural areas or wetlands. Seed mix for ground cover must be specified on the Landscape Plan and Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan. Sod and Ground Cover Standards have not been met. Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) An Environmental Assessment Worksheet is not mandated. The two (2) unattached residential units are under the 250 unattached unit threshold required for a mandatory EAW. Wetlands A wetland delineation report was completed by Kjolhaug Environmental Services on August 17, 2023. A WCA Notice of Decision was issued on October 23, 2023. Approximately 4,145sf of wetlands were delineated along the east lot line adjacent to CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road). There are no wetland impacts. The wetlands are not in the Wetland Management Corridor and no wetland buffers or conservation easements are required. FEMA Floodplain There is no FEMA floodplain on site. Shoreland Management Overlay The parcel is not located within a Shoreland Management Overly district. Impervious Surface Coverage Per Sheet C1.1, Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan: Total Impervious Area = 6,657 sf 11.1% Total Pervious Area = 53,139 sf 88.9% Total = 59,796 sf 100% The maximum allowed impervious surface coverage per lot is 65%. The impervious coverage for both lots will be evaluated with their individual building permits and surveys. 9 Traffic Study A traffic study was not required for two (2) new single family lots on Linda Avenue. It is a minor collector street and has capacity for two (2) additional single family houses. Additional City and Government Agency Review Comments Public Safety Comments Lino Lakes Public Safety Department-Police Division and Fire Division reviewed the preliminary plat and had no comments. Environmental Board The Environmental Board reviewed the development proposal at their April 24, 2024 meeting and noted some with minor revisions are needed. These are summarized in the attached April 29, 2024 Environmental Coordinator memo. Agreements Stormwater Maintenance Agreement A stormwater maintenance agreement is not required since a stormwater management plan is not required per City Code Chapter 1010. Development Agreement and Final Plat The applicant shall submit a Land Use Application for final plat after preliminary plat approval. A Development Agreement will then be prepared by the City as part of the final plat application. Comprehensive Plan Linda Avenue Addition is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan in regards to land use, housing, economic development, transportation, local water management plan, sanitary sewer, water supply and parks, greenway and trails.

Our comments were made on the following documents: •Linda Avenue Addition – Civil Plans prepared by Plowe Engineering, dated April 9, 2024. •Linda Avenue Addition – Certificate of Survey prepared by Kurth Surveying, dated April 9, 2024. The following review comments should be responded to in writing by the applicant. There are additional redline comments on the plan set that should be responded to as well. Not all redline comments are in the review memo. Engineering •Grading The Linda Avenue Addition grading consists of grading the original single-family lot to create two (2) single-family lots. There is a rural section along both Linda Avenue and Hodgson Road/CSAH 49 with driveway accesses and culverts on Linda Avenue. A drainage swale generally flows clockwise around the lots at minimal grade discharging to the southwest. Comments: 1.Maintain minimum 2% slopes with all drainage swales. 2.Provide existing grading information along the shared property line to the west •Provide elevation shots at the base of the adjacent building 3.Call out EOF locations for the culverts across the driveways. 4.End the east side of the western culvert after the driveway and regrade the area to the bottom of the ditch. The driveway elevation should not be extended to the east. 5.Verify the existing elevations between the rear grading limits and the existing tree line to show that water is able to make it to the tree line. •Currently it is shown as ~1% grade from the 901 to 900 contours Attachment 2: City Engineer Memo dated May 1, 2024 Ms. Katie Larsen 05/01/2024 Page 2 Linda Avenue Addition Engineering Review •Stormwater Management Stormwater management is not required under City ordinance. Anoka County Highway Department (ACHD) requires drainage calculations and that the post-developed rate/volume of runoff must not exceed the pre-developed rate/volume of runoff for the 10- year storm event. •Water Supply The proposed water will be supplied by two existing 1-inch Type K copper services extended to the lots from Linda Avenue. Comments: 1.Verify the existing well has been abandoned/sealed per MDH requirements prior to construction. •Note the existing well may be left in place for non-potable irrigation use if MDH setbacks can be met from the proposed utility services. 2.Locate the existing curb stops for both houses. •City Public Works requires that both curb stops be replaced. •Sanitary Sewer The proposed sanitary sewer will be supplied by two existing 4-inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC gravity service pipes extended to the lots from Linda Avenue. Comments: 1.Provide proof to the City that the existing septic system has been removed per Anoka County requirements prior to construction •Transportation There is minimal impact to traffic or roads as this development simply splits the existing single-family lot into two smaller single family lots which will not generate significantly more traffic. •Trails and sidewalks There are no existing trails or sidewalks adjacent to the proposed development with none being proposed. •Wetlands and Mitigation Plan Wetlands on the site were delineated and a WCA Notice of Decision was provided. There are no wetland impacts proposed with the project. •Landscaping Ms. Katie Larsen 05/01/2024 Page 3 Linda Avenue Addition Engineering Review The Linda Avenue Addition Site Landscape Plan will be reviewed by staff and the City’s Environmental Coordinator. The Environmental Coordinator will provide separate comments. •Floodplain The Linda Avenue Addition does not impact floodplain. •Drainage and Utility Easements The only existing easement for the lot is a United Power Association easement along the southern 35’ feet of the lot which is to remain across both proposed lots. •The proposed Lot 1 will have 10’ in the front, 5’ on the sides, and the 35’ UPA easement in the back. •The proposed Lot 2 will have 10’ in the front, 5’ on the side common with Lot 1, 10’ on the side common to Hodgson Road/CSAH 49 and the 35’ UPA easement in the back. •The applicant is dedicating a drainage and utility easement over the back 35’. This would in the same location as the UPA easement and permissions maybe required. Note that the eastern 17’ of the parent lot will be dedicated for the Hodgson/ CSAH 49 right of way. Anoka County is requiring 27’ (60’ total) dedicated right of way west of centerline. •Development Agreement A development agreement will be required with the final plat. •Grading Agreement No grading agreement is required for this site. •Stormwater Maintenance Agreement No stormwater maintenance declaration agreement is required for this site. •Permits Required 1.City of Lino Lakes Zoning Permit for Construction 2.NPDES General Construction Permit 3.Anoka County Highway Department (ACHD) permit (if necessary) If you or the applicant have any questions regarding these comments, please contact Kris Keller at (612) 419-3083 or kkeller@wsbeng.com.

No new lots are being created. The Land Use Application is for the following: • Preliminary Plat • Final Plat This staff report is based on the following information: 2 • Certificate of Survey with Resource Inventory Map prepared by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc. dated March 21, 2024 • Preliminary Plat prepared by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc. dated March 21, 2024 • Final Plat prepared by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc. dated March 21, 2024 BACKGROUND Existing Site Conditions The Drillings own and reside in the house located at 7185 Mound Trail. In June 2023, they purchased the adjacent lot located at 7193 Mound Trail. The Drillings wish to adjust the lot line between the two (2) lots to the northeast to increase and protect the view of the lake for 7185 Mound Trail. Portions of both lots are in the City of Lino Lakes and the City of Centerville. Each lot has two (2) PID#’s. Typically, a lot line adjustment is done by minor subdivision and reviewed at a staff level. Due to the unique situation of both lots being in two (2) cities with multiple PID#’s and to avoid long complicated metes and bounds legal descriptions for required easements, etc., the lot line adjustment will be processed as a preliminary plat and final plat. The preliminary plat and final plat will be reviewed concurrently. This staff report is based on the City of Lino Lakes zoning, shoreland, and subdivision ordinance requirements. The City of Centerville is processing the lot line adjustment under their ordinance requirements.

BACKGROUND The Planning and Zoning Board discussed the possible need for higher architectural design standards in high visibility areas at the February 13, 2024 meeting. This item was discussed at the April 10, 2024 meeting. The board indicated that a review of areas throughout the City should be undertaken, focusing on industrial locations. Staff has prepared a map of main roadway corridors throughout the City focusing on functional classification of principal or arterial roadways. These are typically the highest volume roadways within the City. For purposes of discussion the following proposed 2040 land uses where included: 2  Business Campus  Commercial  Industrial  Office Residential ANALYSIS The main high visibility corridors include Interstates 35E and 35W, Lake Drive and Main Street. 80th street, in the City’s northeast quadrant may also be a possible future location. Most, if not all, of the industrial property along Lake Drive and 35W has been or is currently under development. An overlay district in this area would apply to redevelopment activities for the most part. The 35E corridor has the most potential for new development. The Board Under current architectural requirements, there are slight differences between Commercial, public, educational and religious buildings (“commercial) and Industrial/Warehouse (“industrial) architectural requirements. For a commercial building 50% of each exterior wall requires three (3) class 1 materials. For industrial buildings, 75% of exterior walls may be comprised of two (2) different class 1 or class 2 materials. Commercial buildings must have a base, middle, top. This requirement is not included in the industrial building standards. These design features are typically more difficult to include in larger industrial type buildings. The size of the building also affects design. Buildings with walls over 100 feet facing public right-of-way must meet additional requirements to break up the façade. Staff is requesting the Board’s opinion to the following questions: 1. What corridors should be considered for inclusion? 2. What land use districts should be considered? 3. What additional requirements would the board want to consider? Based on comments received staff will work to develop potential alternatives for consideration. RECOMMENDATION None. Discussion only.
