forests more resilient by minimizing the impacts of diseases, insects, and other stressors and providing long-term community environmental benefits; and WHEREAS, Thoughtfully choosing, planting, and caring for a diverse mix of trees now
supports resilient communities into the future.

Dolly Carr, 954 81st Street, Lino Lakes, stated that her neighbor had asked about the
markings on the boulevard trees. They also asked how an ambulance can get to the
property during the time of construction.
The City Engineer stated that the trees are marked along the line for the water and
sewer trench.
The City Engineer stated that regarding access by an ambulance during construction, the
contractor can cover the trench in an emergency. They will need to work with the
homeowner during the time the cement is installed as that cannot be driven over,
however, it can be installed in sections.
Jesse Rodriguez, 8021 Danube Street, Lino Lakes, questioned the extra fee to connect to
the sewer system and asked if he was required to connect if his septic system was out of
compliance.
The City Engineer stated that if the septic system is failing the property owner would
need to connect to the sewer system.

Caesare Engstrom stated that they installed a new septic system in 2019 and a new well
and pump that was dug/installed in 2024. Now with this project they are faced with
having to pay the assessment and will be forced to abandon their well and septic in the
future, which they just spent money to install. Due to the unexpected expense of having
to install a new well last year, this upcoming assessment will put a strong financial
burden on them. When they purchased the home in 2019 the ability to have a well and
septic was one of the reasons, they purchased the property, and with this project that
will change. The proposed project will completely change the makeup of the
neighborhood as well. Many of the trees are going to be removed which will affect their
property value and the curb appeal around the neighborhood. She stated that given that
they have a newer septic and well, the connection to the city sewer and water
ultimately does not increase their property value, which then conflicts with MN Statue
429.051 Apportionment of Cost. She requested that the cost of the assessment be
waived as they do not feel that it is fair or permissible to impose the costs as it serves no
benefit or purpose to their property.
Caesare Engstrom stated that she signed a petition against the proposed project and
questioned why that was not being considered further.
Dan Langanki, 6249 Red Maple Lane, Lino Lakes, questioned the cost difference
between the Colonial Woods and Pine Haven projects.
Jill and Steve Bushor, 6339 Red Maple Lane, Lino Lakes, stated that the proposed project
does not benefit them as their septic system is fairly new. They questioned the number
of trees being proposed to be removed. They stated that the planned stormwater
drainage improvements are only fixing half the problem. That the stormwater plan will
result in some of the pond area being drained which will reduce their property value.
Cindy Langanki, 6249 Red Maple Lane, Lino Lakes, said that she too sees all of the trees
that are marked for removal. She asked if there was any way to preserve more of the
existing trees and/or what the plan for replanting was for those trees that would be
taken down.
Rick D., 6233 Red Maple Lane, Lino Lakes, stated that he has lived here for a long time
and that residents in the area asked for the project 15+ years ago. New buyers had to
put in a septic system with the purchase of their home and if the project had been done
15 years ago that wouldn’t have been necessary.
The City Engineer addressed the question of the petition against the project not moving
forward. She stated that it was considered not valid because it did not achieve the 51%
of property owners required to sign the petition.
The City Engineer reviewed the costs and financing for the Pine Haven and Colonial
Woods projects in response to the question about cost differences.
The City Engineer stated that the trees marked for removal are within the right-of-way.
The wetland pond is designed to clean stormwater. She noted that the plan for the
ponding area was reviewed by the Rice Creek Watershed.
Lino Lakes City Council Minutes
Page 5 of 7
The City Engineer stated that some of the trees marked for removal are due to road and
drainage system requirements. She stated that they could re-evaluate the trees along
the roadway. They did review the tree plan with a tree expert and also looked at the
health of the trees. Oak Wilt was identified in the area.
Councilmember Lyden asked if there was anything the city could to regarding the half of
the pond that was planned to be drained.
The City Engineer stated that could be reviewed, however, there are multiple
considerations already with the drainage plan, which is now adding water quality
treatment. Half of the area could not tie in based on hydrology. Half is required by Rice
Creek Watershed to benefit water quality.
Councilmember Cavegn stated that the city requires developers to re-plant and asked if
the city would consider re-planting in the project area.
The City Engineer stated that she could review this with the Community Development
Department.
Motion to close the Public Hearing at 7:34 P.M.

The applicant, TYME Properties LLC, is proposing to preliminary plat one (1) commercial lot
south of CSAH 14 (Main Street), east of I-35E and west of CR 84 (Otter Lake Road) for the
purpose of constructing an ALDI’s grocery store.
BACKGROUND
The Land Use Application is for the following:
• Preliminary Plat (Otter Crossing South)
o 1 commercial lot
This staff report is based on the following information:
• Preliminary Plat Plan Set prepared by Pioneer Engineering dated March 18, 2025
• Vacation Exhibits prepared by Pioneer Engineering dated March 5, 2025
• Geotechnical Evaluation Reports prepared by Braun Intertec dated April 7, 2006,

ANALYSIS
Existing Site Conditions
2
The 28 acre site includes three (3) existing lots. One of the lots was a former bank which has
been recently demolished. Per the November 4, 2024 Braun Intertec report, the site currently
exists as an agricultural land, predominantly covered with grass and topsoil at the time of our
borings. The site features a generally flat to gently undulating topography, with ground
elevations ranging from approximately 912 feet at Boring ST-10 to 920 feet at ST-13. The slope
rises gently from west to east. Historical aerial imagery indicates that the parcel has primarily
been used for agricultural purposes, with no evidence of structures having been present on the
site.
Subdivision Ordinance
Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code
The site is guided commercial per the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan and zoned GB, General
Business. An ALDI grocery store is proposed on Lot 1/1A. A grocery store is a retail business
which is a permitted use.
The preliminary plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for commercial development
and zoning code requirements for GB, General Business with minor revisions as detailed in this
staff report.
Blocks and Lots
The proposed preliminary plat contains the following areas:
Parcel Acres Purpose
Lot 1, Block 1a 1.32 acres Grocery Store
Lot 1A, Block 1a 2.76 acres Grocery Store
Outlot A 23.19 acres Future development
Outlot B 2.23 acres Future development
CR 84 (Otter Lake Rd) 0.26 acres Dedicated road right-of-way
TOTAL 29.76 acres
a Lot 1 is abstract property and Lot 1A is torrens property. The grocery store will be constructed
on both Lots 1 and 1A and it will be treated as one lot.
An additional 10ft of road right-of-way along CR 84 (Otter Lake Road) is being dedicated on the
plat as required.
3
Streets and Alleys
CSAH 14 (Main Street) is an A-Minor Arterial Connector county road. An existing right-in only
lane will access the site from Main Street. No additional access points or driveways are allowed
along this section of Main Street.
CR 84 (Otter Lake Road) is a minor arterial county road.
The north access into the site is 70th Street which is a private street. This will be a temporary full
access road until future development of Outlot A. Then this north access will be right-in/right
out and full access will be to the south. Document #487862.011 is a 60 ft wide Grant of
Permanent Easement over the private street and conveyed to the City for ingress and egress,
drainage and utility purposes. This easement will be vacated by separate Council action and
drainage and utility easements will be provided on the final plat.
Otter Lake Service Road is a public local road that will provide future access to Outlot A.
There are no public streets being constructed within the development. The internal system will
be private streets and drive lanes.
Document #1271202.0 recorded against the property dedicates a 60ft wide public street and
utility easement east-west across the property. This easement will be vacated by separate
Council action. The City Council will hold the public hearing which is tentatively scheduled for
April 14, 2025.
A shared driveway and maintenance agreement will be required for all private streets and/or
shared driveways. An access control agreement will be required for the future right-in/right-out
only for the north access on Otter Lake Road.
Easements
Standard drainage and utility easements at least 10 feet wide shall be provided on the
preliminary plat over Lot 1 and Lot 1A lot lines, Lot 1 and Lot 1A wetland #3 and stormwater
management facilities.
Public Land Dedication
The City will collect cash fee in lieu of land dedication for commercial development at the time
of final plat.
Otter Crossing South
4.08 acres x $2,600 per acre = $10,608
4
Site and Building Plan Review
A grocery store is a permitted retail use. Site and building plan review for permitted uses are
completed at a staff level. The March 12, 2025 Planning & Zoning report details the review. The
ALDI grocery store meets zoning code requirements regarding lot sizes, setbacks, architecture,
lighting, off-street parking, and other performance standards with minor revisions.
Traffic Study
A Traffic Study was prepared by SSTS dated February 16, 2024. The study analyzed the
following intersections:
• Main St (CSAH 14) & I-35E SB Ramps
• Main St (CSAH 14) & I-35E NB Ramps
• Main St (CSAH 14) & Otter Lake Rd (CR 84)
• Main St/Frenchman Rd/CSAH 8 & Victor Hugo Blvd
• Otter Lake Rd (CR 84) & Gymnastics/Industrial Building Access
• Access Locations for Build Conditions
Trip Generation
The study analyzed a Phase 1 development scenario that included a supermarket, fast food, and
retail. The Phase 1 development is expected to generate 1,658 new weekday daily trips. The
AM peak is 7:15am to 8:15am and PM peak is 4:15pm to 5:15pm. The table below provides a
detailed breakdown of land use, shared trips, and pass-by trips. Pass-by trips occur when
motorists already on the highway system stop at the development site prior to continuing their
intended route.
Level of Service
5
Level of Service (LOS) is used to describe the operating conditions and driver delay (measured
in seconds) of an intersection. Operations are given letter designations from “A” (best
operating conditions) to “F” (worst conditions).
City Code Section 1007.020, Site Plan Review and Section 1001.013(2)(c), Premature
Subdivision establishes minimum Level Of Service (LOS) requirements. The ordinance states
that if the LOS is A or B, the proposed subdivision shall not the degrade the LOS more than one
grade. If the LOS is C or D, it shall not degrade the LOS. Intersections with a LOS of E or F must
be improved to ensure a LOS of D or better.
The proposed Level of Service does not degrade by more than one (1) LOS; therefore, the traffic
generated by the proposed development is within the capabilities of the City.
EQB Environmental Review
The site is within the 2005 I-35E Corridor AUAR environmental review boundary. The AUAR
was updated in May 2020. The AUAR identifies this site as commercial in the land use
scenarios. The proposed ALDI’s grocery store is consistent with commercial development. No
further environmental assessment is required.
Wetlands
6
The preliminary plat includes four (4) wetlands totally approximately 5.94 acres. These
wetlands do not appear to be impacted and do not appear to be within the Wetland
Management Corridor (WMC). Minimum 10 ft wide drainage and utility easements are required
over Wetland 3 on Lot 1 and Lot 1A.
The applicant will need to work with RCWD for Wetland Conservation Act regulations.
Shoreland District
The preliminary plat is not located in the Shoreland District.
Floodplain
There is no FEMA floodplain on site.

Memorandum
To: Katie Larsen, Lino Lakes City Planner From: Diane Hankee PE, Lino Lakes City Engineer Date: April 9, 2025 Re: Otter Crossing South Preliminary Plat Review 028173-000
WSB reviewed the Preliminary Plat submittal for the Otter Crossing South site in Lino Lakes, MN, received April 1, 2025. The site is 3.80 acres and located off 70th Avenue and Otter Lake Road. Comments were made on the following documents:
• Otter Crossing South – Preliminary Plat submittal prepared by Pioneer, dated March 18, 2025, received February 10, 2025. The following review comments should be responded to in writing by the applicant. Engineering
• General
The Otter Crossing South commercial development proposes to create a commercial lot and
access for the current Aldi site (Lot 1 and Lot 1A) and outlots the remaining area for future
commercial development. A Master plan was provided that laid out an idea of how the
remaining outloted areas could be platted in the future.
• Grading
A grading and drainage plan was not provided for the preliminary plat as there was no
additional grading proposed outside the scope of the Aldi project.
• Stormwater Management
No specific stormwater management calculations were for the Otter Crossing South
preliminary plat as there was no additional stormwater management proposed outside the scope of the Aldi site
• Water Supply
The City’s water system has the pumping capacity to supply the proposed project.
However, due to the City’s limited firm capacity each project is being evaluated on a case
by case basis to determine its impact on the system’s peak day demand. Based on this
evaluation the projected use falls within our current available firm capacity.
Ms. Katie Larsen 4/9/2025 Page 2
Otter Lake South – Engineering Review
The City has initiated the permit process for construction of Well No. 7, however if
approved, the new well will not likely be operational until late 2026. In the meantime due
to uncontrollable variable in weather conditions that effect water demands the city reserves the right to impose water restrictions during peak days.
A specific utility plan was not provided for the preliminary plat however the ghost plat showed the existing 8” watermain stub on 70th Street that would be utilized by the proposed Aldi site. There were no additional utilities proposed outside the scope of the Aldi project. A future watermain stub will need to be provided to the south currently
beyond the temporary cul de sac that will ultimately loop to both Otter Lake Road and
The Otter Lake Service Road in the southwest corner of the site.
Comments: 1. Future easement will be required in favor of the restaurant site for utilities from the Otter Lake Service Road or the restaurant service stubs should be shifted to the access road as part of the Aldi plan/construction
• Sanitary Sewer
A specific utility plan was not provided for the preliminary plat however the master plan
showed the existing 8” sanitary stub on 70th Street that would be utilized by the proposed
Aldi site. There were no additional utilities proposed outside the scope of the Aldi project. A future sanitary sewer stub will need to be provided to the south currently beyond the temporary cul de sac that will ultimately serve the remaining outlot area to the southwest.
Comments: 2. Future easement will be required in favor of the restaurant site for utilities from the Otter Lake Service Road or the restaurant service stubs should be shifted to the access road as part of the Aldi plan/construction
• Transportation
The current Otter Crossing South development proposes utilizing and extending the existing accesses from Main Street/ CSAH 14 and Otter Lake Road/ CR84. A traffic study and analysis was conducted for the overall development and redline comments were provided for the submitted study (attached).
Comments: 3. A traffic and queueing analysis should be done specifically for the proposed frontage
road and 70th Street intersection. Surrounding accesses should be spaced and meet any requirements of that analysis. 4. The temporary turnaround/cul de sac should be shifted to the south leg of the
frontage road and 70th Street intersection.
5. Ghost platting on the north side should reduce accesses to Otter Lake Service Road to one access lined up as shown or remove all accesses for future development
• Wetlands and Mitigation Plan
Ms. Katie Larsen 4/9/2025 Page 3
Otter Lake South – Engineering Review
Site disturbances are in an upland location and wetland impacts are not proposed with
this addition. Future plats may impact delineated wetlands on site and will need to be

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Lino Lakes, Minnesota that:
FINDINGS OF FACT
Per City Code Section 1001.013, Premature Subdivision:
(1) General. Any concept plan, preliminary plat or final plat deemed premature pursuant to
the following criteria shall be denied by the City Council.
(2) Conditions for establishing a premature subdivision. A subdivision may be deemed
premature should any of the following conditions not be met.
(a) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Including any of the following:
1. Land use plan;
2. Transportation plan;
3. Utility (sewer and water) plans;
4. Local water management plan;
5. Capital improvement plan; and
6. Growth management policies, including MUSA allocation criteria.
2
Otter Crossing South preliminary plat is consistent with the goals and policies of the
comprehensive plan.
(b) Consistency with infill policies. A proposed urban subdivision shall meet the city's infill
policies:
1. The urban subdivision must be located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area
(MUSA) or the staged growth area as established by the city's Comprehensive Plan;
2. The cost of utilities and street extensions must be covered by one or more of the
following:
a. An immediate assessment to the proposed subdivision;
b. One hundred percent of the street and utility costs are privately financed by the
developer;
c. The cost of regional and/or oversized trunk utility lines can be financed with
available city trunk funds; and
d. The cost and timing of the expenditure of city funds are consistent with the city's
capital improvement plan.
3. The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system are consistent with the
normal costs as projected by the water and sewer rate study; and
4. The developer payments will offset additional costs of utility installation or future
operation and maintenance.
Otter Crossing South preliminary plat is consistent with infill policies. The development is within
the current Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025). The cost and timing of the expenditure of city
funds are consistent with the city’s capital improvement plan. The cost, operation and
maintenance of the utility system are consistent with the normal costs projected by the water
and sanitary rate study. No future utility costs are proposed.
(c) Roads or highways to serve the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall meet the
following requirements for level of service (LOS), as defined by the Highway Capacity
Manual:
1. If the existing level of service (LOS) outside of the proposed subdivision is A or B, traffic
generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service more than one
grade;
2. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is C, traffic generated by a
proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below C;
3. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is D, traffic generated by a
proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below D;
4. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections providing access
to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F, the subdivision developer must
provide, as part of the proposed project, improvements needed to ensure a level of
service D or better;
3
5. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision must have the
structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed subdivision or
the developer will pay to correct any structural deficiencies;
6. The traffic generated from a proposed subdivision shall not require city street
improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lakes capital improvement plan.
However, the city may, at its discretion, consider developer-financed improvements to
correct any street deficiencies;
7. The LOS requirements in divisions (2)(c)1. to 4. above do not apply to the I-35W/Lake
Drive or I-35E/Main St. interchanges. At city discretion, interchange impacts must be
evaluated in conjunction with Anoka County and the Minnesota Department of
Transportation, and a plan must be prepared to determine improvements needed to
resolve deficiencies. This plan must determine traffic generated by the subdivision
project, how this traffic contributes to the total traffic, and the time frame of the
improvements. The plan also must examine financing options, including project
contribution and cost sharing among other jurisdictions and other properties that
contribute to traffic at the interchange; and
8. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination.
Otter Crossing South preliminary plat meets the requirements for level of service (LOS).
Intersections currently operate at an overall Level of Service (LOS) A. Build condition overall LOS
will continue to operate at a level A.
The proposed Level of Service does not degrade by more than one (1) LOS; therefore, the
development is not considered premature. Existing roads and intersections providing access to
the subdivision have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the
proposed subdivision. No street improvements are proposed that are inconsistent with the City’s
capital improvement plan. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination.
(d) Water supply. A proposed subdivision shall be deemed to have an adequate water
supply when:
1. The city water system has adequate wells, storage or pipe capacity to serve the
subdivision;

opportunity for water main looping to serve the urban subdivision;
3. The extension of water mains will provide adequate water pressure for personal use
and fire protection; and
4. The rural subdivision can demonstrate that each of the proposed lots can be provided
with a potable water supply.
Otter Crossing South preliminary plat will have an adequate water supply.
(e) Waste disposal systems. A proposed subdivision shall be served with adequate waste
disposal systems when:
4
1. The urban sewered subdivision is located inside the city's MUSA or is consistent with
the MUSA allocation criteria;
2. The city has sufficient MUSA and pipe capacity to serve the subdivision if developed to
its maximum density;
3. The subdivision will result in a sewer extension consistent with Lino Lakes sewer plan
and capital improvement plan;
4. A rural subdivision can demonstrate that each lot can be served by an adequate
sanitary sewer disposal system; and
5. A rural subdivision with a proposed communal sanitary sewer or water system has an
effective long range management and maintenance program with proper financing.

Engineering
• General
The Lino Lakes Retail 2.0 project proposes to construct three (3) commercial lots which
includes the associated parking lot, utilities, landscaping, and stormwater management
features. The site combines several lots as well as right of way from 77th Street which will be
realigned as an extension of Marketplace Drive from the east side of Lake Drive (CSAH 23).
One unused original lot will remain on the south end as potentially a continued single-family
use.
Comments: 1. Revise all plan sheets with updated City plans for the 2025 Market Place Drive Realignment Project a. Update items that will be constructed and removed as part of the project (DTE 3/11/2025) See revised plans (WSB 4/2/2025) See comments and as-bid plans b. Coordinate the location and elevation of specific items such as utility services to be able to best serve the proposed sites within the scope of the City project.

• Grading
A grading and drainage plan was provided for the site including paved areas, curb, and retaining walls.
Comments: 1. Watershed district approval for the City project is still pending. Additional stormwater
features may be required as a result of the final review. (DTE 3/11/2025) Noted, will coordinate with City for final stormwater design.
(WSB 4/2/2025) Watershed permitting for the City project is approved, no further design changes are anticipated for that element of design.
2. Call out all EOFs from site stormwater basins, existing and proposed.
(DTE 3/11/2025) EOF locations have been called out on the plans. (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
3. Tip-in curb and gutter on islands of the parking lot for Building B will result in ponded
water, specify tip-out. (DTE 3/11/2025) Locations of tipped-out curb have been added to the plans.
(WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
4. Shift the sidewalk on the west side of the driveway south towards the roadway in order to eliminate the retaining wall in the City basin.
(DTE 3/11/2025) Sidewalk location has been revised per the comment and the revised plans provided by the City.
(WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
5. Retaining walls will require permitting through the City separate from the building

(WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
Ms. Katie Larsen 04/02/2025 Page 3
Java Properties - Lino Retail 2.0 Engineering Review
6. Provide Emergency Overflow (EOF) elevations for all low points in the parking or green space areas. (DTE 3/11/2025) EOF locations have been called out on the plans
(WSB 4/2/2025) Complete 7. (WSB 4/2/2025) Check with Anoka County to see whether connecting to the existing
storm sewer on Lake Drive without crossing Market Place Drive is possible from infiltration basin IB-1 (assumed INV 906.09) 8. (WSB 4/2/2025) The spot elevations of the proposed entrances behind the curbline differ from the spot elevations on the City plans. Coordinate what elevations will be necessary beyond the sidewalk and apron.
• Stormwater Management
Stormwater management for the Lino Retail 2.0 site consists of infiltration basins for the southern and northern lots. Additionally, some stormwater infrastructure is proposed for the City realignment of Marketplace Drive. Existing and proposed discharge rates are
summarized below.
Pre- and Post- Development Discharge Rates (cfs)
Condition 2-Year 10-Year 100-Year 10-Day Snowmelt
Existing 2.37 5.53 14.27 Needed if basins landlocked
Currently
Proposed 1.65 4.77 10.86 Needed if basins
landlocked
Comments: 1. An approximate City storm sewer alignment is marked up on the plans showing the
pipe intended to provide an outflow for the site rather than emergency overflows. The northern infiltration basin shall outlet into the pipe.
(DTE 3/11/2025) The plans have been revised with the updated City storm sewer design
(WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
2. Remove the City infiltration basin between the roadway and parking lot, the basin west of the driveway access will provide sufficient storage for runoff.
(DTE 3/11/2025) This basin has been removed (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
3. Provide an equalization pipe or channel between the existing City stormwater basin
and proposed infiltration basin at the 100-yr HWL (906.3). (DTE 3/11/2025) The plans have been revised to eliminate interaction between the
City and Development’s stormwater infrastructure. (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
4. Pipe storage for infiltration is not allowed for water quality volume or rate control.
Nonperforated pipes must be used for storm sewer conveyance.
Ms. Katie Larsen 04/02/2025 Page 4
Java Properties - Lino Retail 2.0 Engineering Review
(DTE 3/11/2025) The perforated pipes were initially considered to meet the Department of Labor and Industries requirement to not surcharge storm sewer. The storm sewer has been revised to eliminate this conflict and has been revised to be
nonperforated. (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete 5. An outlet control structure will be needed for the southern infiltration basin based on proposed RCWD rule changes due to go into effect by the end of 2024.
a. At the very least, permanent stabilization is needed along the overflow path to reduce the likelihood of large-scale erosion in major storm events. (DTE 3/11/2025) Outlet control structures have been added to both infiltration basins and a storm sewer connection has been added to the south basin (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
6. Soil borings indicate significant amounts of SM soils, meaning design infiltration rates should be 0.45 in/hr consistent with RCWD and MPCA standards. (DTE 3/11/2025) The design infiltration rate has been revised to be 0.45 in/hr. (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete 7. In-situ infiltration rate testing will be needed during or after construction to confirm
designed rates are achievable. a. Testing before construction can be used to demonstrate infiltration rates above the 0.45 in/hr standard. (DTE 3/11/2025) The design infiltration rate has been revised to be 0.45 in/hr (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
8. Both infiltration basins must be able to demonstrate they meet 48-hour drawdown requirements. (DTE 3/11/2025) Outlets have been added to both basins to provide maximum depth below outlet of 1.8’ which correlates to a 48-hour drawdown time (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
9. The lowest-floor elevation of all buildings must be specified to ensure compliance with infiltration basin freeboard requirements (basin bottom must be at or below lowest-floor elevation). a. This is especially relevant for the potential oil change pit in the Valvoline building. (DTE 3/11/2025) The FFE of each building has been added to the plans. The
basement elevation of the Valvoline building has also been added to the plans. (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete 10. Show roof drain routing. Tie into storm sewer at or upstream of a sumped structure to provide pretreatment of roof runoff. (DTE 3/11/2025) The locations of the roof drains will be finalized once tenants have been finalized. (WSB 4/2/2025) Noted, though the locations must still comply with the original comment. 11. The Marketplace Drive roadway and existing stormwater basin, including offsite tributary drainage, must be included in the HydroCAD model to understand all flows throughout the site.
Ms. Katie Larsen 04/02/2025 Page 5
Java Properties - Lino Retail 2.0 Engineering Review
(DTE 3/11/2025) The Marketplace Drive roadway and existing stormwater basin have not been included in the HydroCAD model as there is no interaction between the City and Development’s stormwater infrastructure.
(WSB 4/2/2025) Complete 12. HydroCAD runoff should be set to “Calculate separate pervious/impervious runoff (SBUH weighting)” for most accurate runoff results. (DTE 3/11/2025) The HydroCAD model has been updated per the comment. (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
13. Proposed impervious should be entered as paved parking and roof as there is a mix of both. (DTE 3/11/2025) The HydroCAD model has been updated per the comment. (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
14. Existing and proposed models should route to a Link node to calculate total offsite flows. (DTE 3/11/2025) The HydroCAD model has been updated to include one discharge node for both existing and proposed conditions (WSB 4/2/2025) Complete
15. Confirm drainage area delineations match site grading, some areas on the perimeter of the sites do not appear possible to route to proposed stormwater basins as indicated in HydroCAD. (DTE 3/11/2025) The drainage areas have been updated per the comment. (WSB 4/2/2025) The existing modeled drainage area of 4.551 acres exceeds the proposed modeled drainage area of 4.071 acres. These areas must match for proper
confirmation of rate control. 16. For modeling of outflow rates and HWLs, exfiltration is not allowed in HydroCAD to conservatively design assuming basin infiltration capacity is lost in the future. (DTE 3/11/2025) Infiltration has been removed from the HydroCAD model per the comment
(WSB 4/2/2025) Complete 17. (WSB 4/2/2025) It is recommended to consolidate the parking space curb cuts going into IB-1. 18. (WSB 4/2/2025) The IB-1 storage curve in the HydroCAD modeling is incorrect for
the 906 contour. 19. (WSB 4/2/2025) Some kind of trash screening is needed on the IB-1 outlet opening to reduce the potential for clogging of the 5” orifice. 20. (WSB 4/2/2025) The EOF for IB-2 must include riprap stabilization. 21. (WSB 4/2/2025) Provide the vertical separation of the storm sewer crossing the watermain in Marketplace Dr. a. Maintain minimum 18” separation with watermain
b. Insulation is needed for when vertical separation is less than 36” with watermain

• Transportation
In the 2025 construction season the City will realign 77th St to the Market Place Dr /
CSAH 23 (Lake Dr) signalized intersection. When the Market Place Dr signal was
installed the median at 77th St was also installed. The intent was that 77th would realign in the future to provide that access again at Market Place Dr. This has been a long standing plan of the City in coordination with Anoka County. Anoka County completed an corridor study of Lake Drive in 2020, from Hodgson Rd to Pine St. This study evaluated
access and mobility. As improvements are completed on Lake Dr in the future the
mobility will improve throughout the corridor. This study can be found on Anoka County’s
website.
The Lino Retail 2.0 project site proposes one access to the north and one access to the
south of the realigned Market Place Drive. There will be stubs to the north and south to extend the drive aisles further in the future. Reference the easement section here within and planner’s report for access easement information. As required by Ordinance the applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Study. The proposed development is expected to generate approximately 214 AM peak hour, 212 PM peak hour, and 2,680 daily trips. 95% of the daily trips will go directly from the site to Market
Place Dr and eastbound to Lake Dr. Traffic from the proposed development on adjacent
local roadways is considered minimal. Marilyn Dr existing volumes are 170 daily trips and
with the Market Place realignment 270 trips per day are estimated, with the proposed development 370 daily trips. 77th St existing volumes are 175 daily trips and with the
Ms. Katie Larsen 04/02/2025 Page 8
Java Properties - Lino Retail 2.0 Engineering Review
Market Place realignment 250 trips per day are estimated, with the proposed

REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 6F
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: April 14, 2025
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 25-51, Ordering Preparation of
Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR), Mapping NW Main
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to order the preparation of the Mapping NW Main
AUAR.
BACKGROUND
In September of 2024, the City Council approved a professional services contract with Kimley
Horn to prepare a master plan and complete an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR).
The study area includes 980 acres of the northwest portion of Lino Lakes. The process has
included multiple community outreach opportunities, involvement of study area stakeholders
and review by the City advisory boards and City Council.
Three development scenarios originally emerged, one being the existing 2040 Comprehensive
Plan. Each scenario maintained essentially the same residential unit count with a mix of land
use types but provided for different design alternatives. Through the design process scenarios
2 and 3 merged into Scenario 2.1, which establishes a gateway into the City at the border with
Blaine. Scenario 1 and Scenario 2.1 are proposed to be carried through the environmental
review process.
Resolution No. 25-51 authorizes the preparation of the draft AUAR document. The
development scenarios will be analyzed for potential environmental impacts. A mitigation plan
will be created to address the environmental impacts.
Once it is prepared, the draft AUAR will be brought to the Environmental Board and City Council
for discussion and revisions. The City Council will authorize the distribution of the draft for
public comment. This will begin a 30-day public comment period.
