6. OPEN MIKE
Chair Sullivan declared open mike at 6:34 p.m.
Carol Featherstone, 631 Andall Street, Lino Lakes, MN 55014, was unsettled
that there were 4,600 trees being removed for the new development in Nature's
Refuge. She reviewed the tree sizes and the age of the trees and was

disappointed with the decision to cut them down. She asked the Board to hold
MI Homes accountable for replacing the 3,900 trees due to the mitigation
process.
Raymond Stanke, 663 Andall Street, Lino Lakes, MN 55014, Mr. Stanke
appreciates the wildlife that he has enjoyed since moving here in the 1990's. He
said reptiles and amphibians were bountiful. He stated there has been a decline
in the wildlife over the last ten years. Mr. Stanke stated he saw a wood turtle on
a neighboring property that was on the endangered list. Mr. Stanke feels it is
criminal and self harming to ignore what is happening. He feels whatever is
getting into the water and killing the tree frogs is not helping. He spoke to the
Metropolitan Mosquito Control and feels it is criminal what they are putting in the
water.
Open Mike was closed at 6.46 p.m.
7. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Nature's Refuge North — Restoration and Tree Mitigation Plan
Natures Refuge North is a proposed subdivision with 99 single-family residential
lots on an approximately 59.3 acres site located just north of the Natures Refuge
development on Main Street. The Environmental Board first reviewed a concept
plan for the Natures Refuge North project at the October 25', 2023 meeting.
Since the initial meetings with the Environmental Board and Planning and Zoning
Board, the developer, M/I Homes, has been working through the
recommendations and requirements to further explore the feasibility of the
project.
Mr. Nelson wanted to know if the Board would be open to some flexibility on the
tree mitigation numbers knowing what we know about this site. He said there is
restoration and establishment potential to bring in the rarest native plant
community to this area, which is Oak Savanna. Mr. Nelson indicated the
suggestion is to find the best possible ecological and environmental outcome for
this specific patch of land while honoring the landscape requirements that are
valued by the residents. He said the development team has been working to
minimize tree impacts and determine what areas have potential for vegetive
restoration.
Mr. Nelson stated there are conservation developments in the City that are
examples of how native plant restoration work can be better incorporated into
design. These sites include Foxborough, the Preserve, Saddle Club and Nature's
Refuge. He stated tree mitigation numbers were waived or altered in the past in
DRAFT MINUTES
Environmental Board

these areas to support restoration efforts. He added conservation developments
like Foxborough and the Preserve have long-term stewardship plans in place.
Mr. Nelson said without active management or natural disturbance that natural
systems degrade over time and invasive plants become dominant. This leads to
native plants vanishing. Long-term active management helps to preserve
biodiversity in native plant communities and developed areas.
Mr. Nelson explained that planting the number of mitigation trees indicated by
initial estimates is not reasonable for this site, and will not lead to the best long-
term outcome for the outlots. He also said that excessive tree planting is
detrimental to both wetland and oak savanna plant communities and long-term
stewardship and active management will yield the best result. He stressed the
long-term plan will require active collaboration between the Environmental Board,
other City groups, the developer, and the developer's consultants.
Mr. Nelson recommended collaboration with the developer to initiate a process to
achieve a final product with higher value than tree mitigation alone would
provide. He also stated there is potential on this site for a solution that includes
establishment and restoration, enhanced greenway system components and
overall benefits of biodiversity that may not be possible to this extent on other
sites. The next steps will be to establish baseline conditions for the site,
incorporate workshops, evaluate alternatives and restoration options, establish
long-term maintenance criteria and funding and perform a site assessment to
gage restoration efforts.
It was the consensus on the Board that they were concerned over the number of
trees that were being removed for this development. Mr. Sullivan said he would
like to look at other developments to understand what was done and to have an
idea of what we can do with this new development. Mr. Nelson said we could
have a special meeting or workshop to go over the development and discuss the
options for this project.
Ms. Holmes thought it would be beneficial to drive through Foxborough to see
what they had done. She also thought it would be important to poll the residents
to find out how they want to see Lino Lakes developed.
Mr. Sullivan inquired if anyone surveys wildlife before land is developed. Mr.
Nelson said DNR maintains a database of rare, threatened, and special concern
species. The results of these Natural Heritage Information System requests may
necessitate additional plant and/or animals surveys and mitigation. Mr. Sullivan
thought it was important that this type of information was provided.

Ms. Buchmeier asked if we would remove the endangered plants or work around
them. Mr. Nelson stated it would be a combination of minimizing impacts and
transplanting species to donor sites.
In closing the Board is open to ecological restoration in place of tree mitigation in
certain areas. Mr. Sullivan stressed the importance of tree preservation for this
site.
Ms. Holmes questioned if we could take extra precautions to save as many trees
as possible. Mr. Nelson said there are creative ways to expand the number of
trees that are preserved that could be worked through as the project goes
forward.
8. ACTION ITEMS
A. Linda Avenue Addition — Preliminary Plat
The applicant, James Christiansen, is proposing to subdivide the existing lot
located at 6217 Hodgson Road into two (2) single family lots for the purpose of
constructing two (2) new single-family houses. The lot is 1.37 gross acres
(59,796 sf).
Ms. Buchmeier wanted to know if Blanding turtle protections would happen for
this site. Mr. Nelson stated we could add a statement on providing flyers and
factsheets to contractors working on the site. Ms. Holmes also asked if we could
provide information on alternative options for ground cover. Mr. Nelson said we
could discuss the option of creating a brochure on alternative cover options in the
future.
Ms. Buchmeier moved to approve the staff recommendations. Motion seconded
by Ms. Nelson. Motion carried 5 — 0.
9. UPDATES
Mr. Nelson provided updates to the Environmental Board.
• City Council accepted Environmental Board goals.
• City Council approved a cautionary agreement with Rice Creek Watershed
District for the Centerville Lake alum treatment.

ANALYSIS
History
Robinson Lakes
In October 2006, a concept plan for Robinson Lakes was reviewed at a Council Work
Session. The concept plan included 680 acres of Robinson property located both north
and south of Main Street. The plan included a residential mix of single family, multi-
family and active adult multi-family homes. Lakes, open space, and greenway system
with parks and trails were incorporated throughout the development. This project
never moved forward due to the onset of a housing recession.
Promenade
A concept plan for Robinson Property submitted by Integrate Properties, LLC was
reviewed at the January 41", 2022 Environmental Board meeting. The concept plan
included 157 gross acres south of CSAH 14 (Main Street) and consisted of a mix of
housing types totaling 707 housing units. The plan was later reviewed at the City
Council Work Session on February 71", 2022.
In October 2022, the Council approved a Record of Decision and Making a Negative
Declaration on the Need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Robinson Sod
Farm. The Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) evaluated two development
scenarios, the PUD Concept Plan with 557 dwelling units and the Yield Plan with 707
dwelling units.
In November 2022, a revised concept plan was reviewed by the Planning & Zoning
Board. The proposed development was renamed Promenade. This project did not move
forward.
Zikar Holdings has since submitted a Concept Plan for consideration.
On April 1, 2024, the City Council discussed the possible consideration of a development
moratorium in light of two potential projects proposed in the northwest quadrant of the
City. The Pulte/Del Webb and Madinah Lakes projects include approximately 400 acres
of the existing sod farm area north and south of Main Street.
2
The City's review and comments on the proposed concept plan's relation to the
Comprehensive Plan and development regulations does not grant any rights to the
applicant to develop the property as depicted by the concept plan. These are high level
comments and depending on the outcome of the proposed moratorium, the concept
plan may change.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The predominant existing land use is agricultural related to Robinson Sod Farm. Public
ditch ACID 10-22-32 and private ditches drain the site south. Wetlands appear in the
National Wetland Inventory along the ditch corridors and the east perimeter of the site.
Residential areas exist adjacent to the proposed project parcels to the south along
Robinson Drive, Century Trail, and Carl Street. To the east, rural single-family lots run
along Carl Street and 4th Avenue. There is more agricultural use across Main Street to
the north.
PROPOSED CONDITIONS
The project proposes a mix of single-family lots, townhomes, rowhomes, and
apartments, for a total of 434 housing units. A mosque and a commercial area with a
daycare, playground, grocery store, restaurant, and coffee shop are central features of
the site.
Ponds are located throughout the project for both stormwater management and
floodplain mitigation. These ponds and surrounding open space include a network of
trails that provide connectivity to neighboring residential areas and a currently
undeveloped park on Robinson Drive.
Public ditch 10-22-32 bisects the site and ultimately drains to Marshan Lake. This ditch
is proposed to remain in place.
Rezoning
The property is currently zoned R, Rural. The property would need to be rezoned to
PUD, Planned Unit Development, in order to allow for a variety of lot widths and
housing types.
The intent of Planned Unit Development is to provide for the grouping of lots or
buildings for development as an integrated, coordinated unit as opposed to traditional
parcel by parcel, piecemeal, or sporadic approach to development. It is intended to
3
introduce flexibility of site design to achieve public benefits that may not otherwise be
obtained through standard zoning regulations. Examples of these public benefits include
increased open space, enhanced greenway corridor, wetland restoration, additional
wetland buffers, higher architectural & building standards, etc.
The Yield Plan that was also submitted with this project shows 621 housing units, which
is what could be allowed if the plan followed conventional subdivision zoning
requirements. The Concept Plan submitted shows 434 housing units with additional
green space, which illustrates the site's potential for additional public benefit that may
be possible under the Planned Unit Development scenario presented.
Environmental Assessment Worksheet
The project meets the mandatory threshold for an Environmental Assessment
Worksheet (EAW). EAWs are not intended to approve or deny a project. Rather, they
are an information source used to identify issues that may require further review and
potential mitigation related to a project and project site.
Preparation of an EAW would be required to be completed prior to submittal of a
preliminary plat application.
Some highlights of the information required in an EAW:
• cover types, geology, soils, and topography
• permits and approvals required
• surface water features and impacts, groundwater, wells, and location of
impaired waters within a mile of project
• wetlands, wetland impacts, and potential delineation requirement
• wastewater management
• stormwater: erosion and sediment control, National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit required, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP)
• water appropriation, including potential Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources (MN DNR) appropriation permit
• shoreland and floodplain ordinance compliance
• fish and wildlife resources, including habitat and vegetation near the site;
impacts; and mitigation of impacts
• MN DNR Natural Heritage Information System (NHIS) request (the
comprehensive database of rare features), mitigation measures for plants and
animals identified
• contamination/hazardous material/waste management
• air, noise, transportation (traffic) concerns
4
Land Cover
Pre-settlement land cover (Marschner) was wet prairie. Wet prairie is typically
dominated by grasses, with some sedges present and less forbs than are found in mesic
prairie. In the absence of fire, wet prairie will have higher concentrations of trees and
shrubs. Open spaces not utilized for recreational purposes should be restored to this
historic condition if possible to maximize habitat benefits and biodiversity on the site.
Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS) data indicates mostly sod on hydric
soils and short grasses with 11-25%, 26-50%, and 51-75% impervious cover.
There are some trees (aspens, boxelders, etc.) on the west, south, and southeast
perimeters along the public ditch system.
Soils
Soil types according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey
Geographic Database include: Rifle mucky peat, Markey muck, Lino loamy fine sand,
Isanti fine sandy loam, and Zimmerman fine sand. The majority of the site is hydric soils.
The EAW completed for the previous Promenade project identified areas of potential
contamination that may need additional investigation or remediation should the project
proceed.
Existing hydric soils should be salvaged and utilized on site. These soil types will support
the native vegetation that would have been present in the historical condition.
Shoreland District
The site does not fall within Shoreland District.
Drinking Water Protection
The site is not within a Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA).
Rare, Unique, or Significant Resources
A Natural Heritage Information System (NHIS) request must be submitted to the MN
DNR to identify any rare, threatened, endangered, or special concern species that have
been documented within one mile of this site. Any species identified as a result of this
information request may indicate additional steps required to minimize or mitigate for
any impacts.
5
The EAW submitted for the Promenade project identified eight species within a mile of
the project site that are State-listed special concern, threatened, or endangered.
Presence of these species in the vicinity may necessitate further surveys and/or
protection measures, as determined by the MN DNR during their review. Because the
survey work may be seasonal and time-sensitive, it is recommended that the NHIS
request be submitted soon to determine which actions steps will be required.
Protections for the Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) are likely to be required for
this project, pending MN DNR review.
The project site is within the range of the endangered Northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis). While this information will be provided as part of an EAW, staff
recommends seeking guidance on this from the Fish and Wildlife Service early, as this
may impact tree removal timelines and could necessitate additional surveys.
Stormwater Management
Stormwater management plans are reviewed by the City Engineer. The following
information is intended to summarize the site conditions.
The site is crossed by County Ditch 10-22-32, which is the main outlet for storm water
leaving the site. This water ultimately drains to Marshan Lake which is an impaired
water. In addition to this ditch, stormwater on the site is managed through private
ditches, infiltration, and via wetlands.
The site will need to meet City and Rice Creek Watershed District water quality and
quantity requirements.
There are 10 stormwater ponds noted in the concept plan for stormwater management
and flood mitigation purposes. The site design should include forebays or other
pretreatment means for water discharging to them.
Given water constraints that the City is currently facing, water conservation is a priority
concern. A water balance study should be completed and developed to address site
irrigation. A stormwater reuse system shall be incorporated into the stormwater
management design.
Native vegetation buffers should be included around all ponds, preserved wetlands, and
the County ditch.
6
Flood Plain
A large portion of the site does fall within the flood management zone. Floodplain
management shall be incorporated into the overall site design. The site will need to
accommodate the same volume of flood storage currently on the site. Floodplain
mitigation will be achieved through the construction of stormwater ponds and through
raising site elevations. Floodplain impacts are subject to both City and Rice Creek
Watershed District requirements.
A Base Flood Elevation is required to be determined, using detailed methods acceptable
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
A FEMA Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and Letter of Map Revision (LOMR)
are required for this site.
Greenway System and Trails
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies a proposed Greenway System extended across
the subject site. The PUD process provides the opportunity for the creation of a multi-
functional greenway corridor that incorporates many attributes into one comprehensive
design, including:
• Interconnected trail system and parks
• Protected open space and natural areas
• Wetlands, including Wetland Management Corridor and buffers
• Major and minor drainage routes and other elements of the local surface water
management system (including stormwater ponds)
• Floodplain management
A greenway/park system was initially established to the south of the development site
with the Century Farm North subdivision. That system was stubbed to the north from
Robinson Drive and to the east from Century Trail.
The developer has attempted to expand this system throughout the project.
Opportunities for enhancement of the greenway system remain. A connection should
be made from the Century Trail connection across the County ditch.
Trail corridors should be a minimum 30-40 feet in width above the high water level of
ponds. The slope to ponds should be minimized where possible and not exceed 3:1, but
a 6:1 would be preferred.
An Anoka County regional trail is planned to run along Main Street. This needs to be
accommodated as part of the project development, as well as a trail on Sunset Avenue.
Trail connections to the existing internal trail system should be provided. The developer
7
has incorporated a link from the northwest corner of the site. Connections will also
need to be added mid-block of the north road running parallel to Main Street, from
Century Trail to the trail section shown running along the gas line easement, and to the
eastern perimeter of the site.
The County Ditch corridor is the priority component of this greenway system. Enhanced
opportunities for stormwater filtration and wildlife habitat should be incorporated into
the design wherever feasible.
Wetlands
There are wetlands indicated on the proposed project site. A wetland delineation will
be required. Any wetland impacts related to the project will be mitigated for per Rice
Creek Watershed District rules.
The large wetland complex east of this project does extend onto the proposed project
parcels and is part of the Wetland Management Corridor. A vegetated buffer with an
average width of 50 ft. and a minimum width of 25 ft. will be required per Rice Creek
Watershed District rules.
A 50-foot buffer should be included adjacent to the County ditch system.
Filling and mitigating for the private ditches running along the north and south
perimeters even with Robinson Drive should be considered. These ditches are likely low
quality wetlands, and this space could be utilized to better effect by adding the space to
the greenway system components.
The proposed east/west collector street stubbed to the eastern property line appears to
run into a large wetland complex that lies off-site on the rural lots. This road should be
rerouted to run south of the wetland to minimize impacts to this Wetland Management
Corridor.
Landscape Plan
A Tree Survey, Tree Preservation and Mitigation Plan, and Landscape Plan in compliance
with Section 1007.043 (17), Required Screening, Landscaping and Buffer Yards shall be
submitted. Note that additional landscaping may be required as a condition of the PUD.
A berm and landscaping will be required along the perimeters shared with Main Street
and Sunset Avenue.
Native plants should be utilized wherever feasible to maximize habitat benefits and
promote biodiversity. In areas where native plants may not be suitable, low-
8
maintenance alternative turfgrass types should be considered that minimize water
consumption needs.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the Madinah Lakes PUD Concept Plan be forwarded to the Planning
and Zoning Board and City Council with the following comments:
1. The project meets the mandatory threshold for an Environmental Assessment
Worksheet. This document must be completed prior to submittal of a
preliminary plat application.
2. Native plants should be utilized wherever feasible to maximize habitat benefits
and promote biodiversity. In areas where native plants may not be suitable, low-
maintenance alternative turfgrass types should be considered that minimize
water consumption needs.
3. Existing hydric soils on the site should be salvaged for utilization on site,
particularly in open space areas seeded or planted with native species.
4. A Natural Heritage Information System request must be submitted to the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to identify any rare, threatened, or
special concern species documented in the vicinity of the project. Because any
required survey work may be seasonal and time-sensitive, it is recommended
that the NHIS request be submitted as soon as possible.
5. The Information for Planning and Consultation tool should be utilized to
streamline the United States Fish and Wildlife Service environmental review
process. It is recommended to perform this step as early as possible. The
Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) range is in this area, which may
impact tree removal timelines and necessitate additional surveys.
6. Stormwater pond design should incorporate forebays or other pretreatment
means for water discharging to them.
7. Incorporate a stormwater reuse system for irrigation to minimize water
consumption.
8. Native vegetation buffers should be included around all ponds, preserved
wetlands, and the County ditch.
9. Floodplain management shall be incorporated into the project design that meets
City and Rice Creek Watershed District requirements. Also, a Federal Emergency
9
Management Agency (FEMA) Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and
Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) are required for this site.
10. Greenway system components/Trail Connections to incorporate into the design:
• Trail corridors should be a minimum of 30-40 feet in width above the high
water level of ponds. The slope to ponds should be minimized where
possible and not exceed 3:1, but 6:1 would be preferable.
• Connection needed from Century Trail to the trail segment running along
gas line easement.
• A connection to the future Anoka County regional trail is needed
midblock of the north road running along Main Street.
• A trail is needed along Sunset Avenue.
• The County Ditch corridor is the priority component of the greenway
system. Stormwater filtration and wildlife habitat should be incorporated
in a 50 foot buffer running along the ditch.
11. The private ditches running along the north and south perimeters of the site
even with Robinson Drive should be filled and mitigated. This space could be
used to better effect for greenway system components.
12. The proposed east/west collector street stubbed to the eastern property line
appears to run into a large Wetland Management Corridor component. This
road should be shifted south to minimize impacts.
13. A Tree Survey, Tree Preservation and Mitigation Plan, and Landscape Plan must
be submitted with a preliminary plat application.
14. A berm and landscaping will be required along the perimeters shared with Main
Street and Sunset Avenue.

"Madinah Lakes" -Vision for Development
Nestled within the picturesque landscape of Lino Lakes lies a visionary community
known as Madinah Lakes. Spanning approximately 156 acres, this development promises
to redefine modern living by seamlessly blending residential, commercial, and communal
spaces.
The cornerstone of Madinah Lakes is its commitment to fostering a sense of belonging
and community spirit. At its heart stands a magnificent Mosque, serving as a symbol of
unity and faith for all Lino Lakes' residents and visitors alike. Surrounding this focal
point, a carefully curated mix of detached single-family homes, townhomes, rowhomes,
and apartment buildings offer diverse housing options to suit every lifestyle, including
senior living accommodations.
In addition to thoughtfully designed residences, Madinah Lakes boasts an array of
amenities aimed at promoting an active and vibrant lifestyle. A sprawling public park
invites all Lino Lake's residents to reconnect with nature, while interior trails and
sidewalks encourage leisurely strolls and invigorating bike rides. By integrating these
recreational spaces seamlessly into the fabric of the community, Madinah Lakes
cultivates a sense of harmony between modern living and natural beauty.
Central to the community's ethos is the vibrant commercial area, offering an array of
amenities that meet the needs of both residents and the greater Lino Lakes community.
Here, charming restaurants, inviting coffee shops, and essential services such as daycare
and a grocery store create a bustling hub of activity. Additionally, a spacious banquet
space provides a much-needed venue for gatherings and events, serving as a cornerstone
of community life.
Furthermore, Madinah Lakes is committed to environmental stewardship, evidenced by
the conscientious restoration of the land. Currently the Robinson Sod Farm, the site's
transformation includes the filling of private ditches and the preservation of vital
wetlands, ensuring the preservation of local ecosystems. Notably, the preservation of
public ditch 10-22-32 underscores the development's dedication to responsible land
management and sustainable growth.
Strategically situated within the thriving municipality of Lino Lakes, Madinah Lakes
offers residents the best of both worlds: a tranquil retreat from the bustle of city life,
coupled with unparalleled access to urban conveniences. With seamless connectivity to
the region's transportation network, residents enjoy effortless commutes and convenient
access to a myriad of amenities, both local and regional.
In essence, Madinah Lakes represents more than just a residential development; it
embodies a vision of inclusive, sustainable living where community, culture, and nature
converge. Welcome to Madinah Lakes, where every day unfolds as a celebration of
harmony, diversity, and possibility.

A full geotechnical evaluation will be completed on site to determine what soils and how
deep the water table is on site. This will be completed prior to the Preliminary Plat
application.
Being the site is currently being used as a sod farm, there will be minimal cutting/clearing
of trees on the property. A tree inventory will be completed at the time of the
Preliminary Plat application to determine the removal of trees and the required
replacement per the City of Lino Lakes.
Street Design:
The proposed project will have local public streets that will be 30' back to back within a
60' ROW and 46.0'R cul-de sac within a 60' ROW. Century Trail is proposed to be a
Parkway with 80' ROW and a median divided street section. A portion of the
development includes private streets (24' back to back) for the townhome/rowhome units.
All streets will be constructed to the City of Lino Lakes standard street section. Parking
lot areas are proposed for the Mosque, Commercial buildings, and apartment buildings.
Utility Services:
City sanitary sewer& water is available to service the proposed development through the
existing Century Farms neighborhood.
Stormwater:
Stormwater modeling and a Stormwater Management Plan(SWMP) will be prepared to
satisfy City of Lino Lakes & Rice Creek Watershed District requirements. Runoff from
the site will be directed to storm sewer inlet locations, collected, and conveyed to the
proposed treatment pond(s) and retention/filtration area(s). The ponds and filtration
areas/basins will provide temporary storage of stormwater runoff, treatment of
stormwater and sediment removal.
Wetlands:
Per the National Wetland Inventory (NWI), there are 2 wetlands on site, a series of
private ditches, and a public ditch(10-22-32). The concept plan shows impacts to the
wetland and private ditch areas. The public ditch 10-22-32 will remain intact and provide
the required buffer/access needed. A wetland delineation report will be completed to
determine the actual wetland areas on site. The impacts will be made accordingly after
the report.

The Developer notes that a traffic study will be prepared/provided for review as part of
the development process.
Landscape Plan,Monuments, &Entrance:
The Developer will work with the City to provide a landscape plan that meets City
requirements and provides an aesthetically pleasing neighborhood. The project also
includes a possible landscaped center median that will divide Century Trail.
Homeowner's Association and Restrictive Covenants:
A Homeowners Association(HOA)will be created for this development. The Developer
will prepare restrictive covenants and standards that will apply to the entire neighborhood
during both the initial development and the overall operation of the subdivision once
future homeowners control the HOA Board. A select group of builders will participate in
the community. The restrictive covenants will be tailored to the Developer's vision of
the project. Each builder will be required to meet the specifics of building types,
landscaping, and overall goals of the development.
The developer is asking for feedback from City staff,based on the provided documents
included in the Concept Plan Application package.
