Parks, Greenways and Trail Plan
The proposed subdivision is within the Watermark Park neighborhood service area and
additional land dedication is not required. The park plan identifies a trail along CSAH 54 (201n
Avenue). A trail currently exists along the Watermark development within the road right-of-
way. A trail shall be graded in along the Erickson Property to tie into the existing trail. The City
will install the trail at a future date.

Screening, Landscaping, Buffer Yards and Tree Preservation
Per the May 28, 2025 Environmental Board staff report:
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 has been provided. Most of the trees on site are oak, pine, maple. Majority of the
trees were planted as windbreaks from the adjacent agricultural use.
The tree inventory will need to be updated to only include significant trees and trees within the
project location. The coniferous trees will need to be included by height.
The site falls primarily withing the basic use area. No mitigation is required within this area.
Twelve trees are being proposed for removal within the stormwater management area. Storm
water ponding is not included within the basic use area. Mitigation will be required at a 1 to 1
ratio.
There are currently ninety (90) significant trees identified on site. Thirteen (13) are proposed to
be preserved as a part of the development.
The developer is proposing planting 14 boulevard trees, one for each proposed lot. An
additional 7 rear yard trees are being proposed within block 1. Staff recommends adding
additional rear yard trees within block 2 to provide additional plantings and screening from the
existing development.
Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards will need to be met with future submittals.
Open Areas Landscape Standards
The developer will be required to meet open area landscape standards as part of the proposed
project. Open area standards are to provide one large tree and two large shrubs per every
2500 square feet of open space. Final calculations for open area plantings will be calculated
with final plat submittal to confirm final open space.
Currently the proposal does not show open space landscaping.
Buffer and Screen Standards
1.1
Page 8 of 46
There is no official requirements, but city staff are looking at providing additional plantings in
the rear yards for screenings from existing properties.
Double planted screening is being proposed with shrubs along the back of the property lines for
block one as screening from 201" Ave. Screening should be provided on the property lines.
Currently showing plantings within the outlot, this will likely cause maintenance issues in the
future.
Canopy Cover
Canopy cover requirements do not apply to single-family residential developments.
Foundation Landscaping
Foundation landscaping standards do not apply to single family residential development
Sod and Ground Cover Standards
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.
Low maintenance turf should be evaluated throughout development. Ground covers should be
drought resistant to reduce the need for irrigation use.
Environmental Review
The site is within the 1-35E Corridor AUAR. The preliminary plat is consistent with residential
development for all 3 AUAR land use scenarios.
Wetlands
There are no wetlands on site.
FEMA Floodplain
There is no FEMA floodplain on site.
Shoreland Management Overlay
The development is not located within a Shoreland Management Overly district.
Impervious Surface Coverage
7
Page 9 of 46
The maximum allowed impervious surface coverage per lot is 65%. The impervious coverage for
each lot will be evaluated with those individual building permits and surveys.
Traffic Study
A traffic analysis was completed noting that single family detached housing units average 9.43
trips per dwelling unit and the 14 lot subdivision would generate 132 daily trips. Traffic was
analyzed with the Watermark development and the Erickson Property was included in the
study. The proposed development is consistent with the Watermark traffic study.
Noise Study
Per the applicant's narrative, this project will comply with the same findings of the Watermark
Traffic Noise assessment that was conducted in March of 2016 to fulfill the requirements of the
1-35E AUAR. This includes meeting the standards for noise levels found in the study for homes
that are along CSAH 54 (20th Avenue). The project would need to meet the commercial noise
standards (NAC-2) during nighttime hours as allowed by Minnesota Rule 7030.0050. This
exemption will be met by following the three following items for all homes built along CSAH 45
(20th Ave) to meet the NAC-2 standards, instead of the residential standards (NAC-1), for
nighttime hours:
1. The building is constructed in such a way that the exterior to interior sound level
attenuation is at least 30 dB(A);
2. The building has year-round climate control; and
3. The building has no areas or accommodations that are intended for outdoor activities.
Additional City and Government Agency Review Comments
Lino Lakes Police Department and Fire Department had no comments on the
preliminary plat.
• The Environmental Board reviewed the development proposal on May 28, 2025. Their
comments are summarized in the attached Environmental Memo dated May 28, 2025.
• The Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing on June 11, 2025. There were no
public comments. The Board recommended approval with a 5-0 vote.
Agreements
Stormwoter Maintenance Agreement
Private stormwater facilities will be maintained through a Declaration for Maintenance of
Stormwater Facilities. The City of Lino Lakes shall be party to the Declaration. The City Engineer
will provide the template.
H-I
Page 10 of 46
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
Erickson Property is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan regarding
land use, housing, economic development, transportation, local water management plan,
sanitary sewer, water supply and parks, greenway and trails.
Land Use Plan
Per the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the parcel is guided low density mixed residential
development and allows for 3.0 to 4.0 units per net acre. The proposed 14 single family
housing units and net density of 3.15 units per acre is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Growth Management Strategy
Page 3-17 of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan details the City's Growth Management Strategy.
The strategy works in conjunction with the City's utility staging plan.
The City will plan to accommodate an annual average of 230 units per year over each 5-year
phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any one year. From 2010 to 2024, the City's average
annual number of units is 123. This is less than the allowed 230 unit annual allocation.
The proposed 14 housing unit residential subdivision is consistent with the growth
management strategy.
Housing Plan
A goal of the housing plan is to maintain existing housing stock to insure a high -quality
environment in all residential neighborhoods. It is a policy to encourage in -fill housing where
appropriate.
Erickson Property meets the goals of the housing plan by supporting in -fill housing.
Economic Development
The 14 lot single family residential development does not negatively impact the City's economic
development plan.
Transportation Plan
Page 11 of 46
A goal of the transportation plan is to ensure that streets are as safe as possible. Osakis Street is
a local road and CSAH 54 (201h Avenue) is an A -Minor Arterial Reliever. Both streets have
capacity to accommodate 14 new single family homes.
Local Water Management Plan
The purpose of the water management program protect, preserve, and use natural surface and
groundwater storage and retention systems and prevent erosion of soil into surface water
systems.
A stormwater pond, erosion control and rock construction entrance are proposed on site.
Sanitary Sewer Plan
The goal of the sanitary sewer plan is to maintain the city's residents and businesses with an
affordable and safe sanitary sewer system. The development will connect to the municipal
sanitary sewer system.
Water Supply Plan
A goal of the water supply plan is to provide residents and businesses with affordable potable
water that is safe and of high quality for daily consumption and fire demand. The development
will connect to the municipal water supply system.
Parks, Greenways and Trails
A goal and policy of the parks, greenways and trails plan is to continue to development and
fund recreational activities in the City. The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication.
Findings of Fact
The findings of fact for rezoning and preliminary plat are detailed in the attached resolutions
and ordinance.

Introduction
On behalf of Hampton Companies, Landform is pleased to submit this application for a Zoning Map Amendment and
Preliminary Plat to allow the construction of 14 single-family homes at 7590 201h Avenue in Lino Lakes. The current
5.15-acre parcel contains an existing home and numerous outbuildings. The site is surrounded by the Watermark
PUD development by Lennar to the North, East and South. Our plan is to extend the existing street grid planned for
the Watermark development and provide another housing option. We are excited about the improvements proposed
for this site.
Zoning Map Amendment (Rezone)
In order to facilitate the development of this site, and to match the designation found in the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan for Lino Lakes, this parcel will need to be rezoned. The parcel is currently zoned as "R- Rural and we are
requesting it be zoned to "R-2 — Two-family Residential'. The R-2 zone will allow us to develop this site in the density
range found in the comprehensive plan and the existing I-35E AUAR over the area. The rezone to R-2 also more
closely matches the PUD zoning and lot standards found in the surrounding Watermark development adjacent to our
site.
Preliminary Plat
We are also requesting approval of a preliminary plat for a 14-lot subdivision with 14 new single-family homes and 1
outlot for stormwater management purposes. This plat would be an extension of the Watermark development that
currently surrounds it, but with a different housing look and design. This plat would not be premature as it is easily
served by existing utilities and surrounded by similar density and development.
The site plan shows compliance with the R-2 zoning lot standards, and meets the other applicable landscaping,
subdivision design and screening requirements. Below are some findings and important information about the plat:
14 new single family home lots that comply with the lot and bulk standards found in the proposed R-2 zone that
would be developed at a density of 3.15 units/acre. We are close to the minimum density due to stormwater
management requirements.
Gross Area: 5.15 Acres — ROW to 20th Avenue: 0.7 Acres = Net Area: 4.45 Acres
ii. 14 units / Net Area: 4.45 Acres = 3.15 units/acre (3.146)
New dedicated ROW in addition to the existing easement for CSAH 45 (201h Avenue) to allow future road
improvements and the extension of the existing trail on the west side. Additionally, this plat will remove a
driveway onto the CSAH 45 (201h Avenue).
Stormwater improvements with plans for rainwater reuse irrigation.
Additional landscaping that takes advantage of the required number of trees from the Tree Preservation
ordinance, and screening requirements between the rear of homes and the stormwater facilities to reduce noise
and light impacts from CSAH 45 (20th Avenue).
A Homeowners Association (HOA) is anticipated to be created for maintenance purposes of development wide
facilities.
Uniformed traffic access to and from CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) for the development is found in the extension of Osakis
Street into the existing Watermark development. The 10th Edition ITE Manual stated that for Single -Family Detached
Housing (210) use there is an average ADT of 9.43 trips per dwelling unit.
Erickson Property, Lino Lakes, MN May 12, 2025
HAC25003 1
Page 21 of 46
The plat shows 14 single-family homes, meaning an ADT of 132.02 for the entire development. However, it is our
experience with homes of this size that the expected ADT overestimates total trips, and we would expect it to be
closer to 115 ADT for the entire development. There is no additional increase expected for this development as a
single-family home use tends to stay consistent on traffic demand and no additional density is planned or possible on
this site within the next ten years.
Additionally, this project will comply with the same findings of the Watermark Traffic Noise assessment that was
conducted in March of 2016 to fulfill the requirements of the 1-35E AUAR. This includes meeting the standards for
noise levels found in the study for homes that are along CSAH 54 (201h Avenue). The project would need to meet the
commercial noise standards (NAC-2) during nighttime hours as allowed by Minnesota Rule 7030.0050. This
exemption will be met by following the three following items for all homes built along CSAH 45 (201h Ave) to meet the
NAC-2 standards, instead of the residential standards (NAC-1), for nighttime hours:
The building is constructed in such a way that the exterior to interior sound level attenuation is at least 30
dB(A);
the building has year-round climate control; and
The building has no areas or accommodations that are intended for outdoor activities.
Finally, the home pads shown on the plan would meet the garage design standards found in the R-2 zone. We
understand that garage design and placement is a key issue for development in Lino Lakes and want to ensure early
that our lots are buildable given the design requirements. While the specific design will take place following the
completion of the plat process, site plan design choices took into account all standards required for minimum garage
size, shape, and location found in the R-2 zoning standards.
Summary
We respectfully request approval of the Zoning Map Amendment and Preliminary Plat to allow the construction of 14
single-family homes at 7590 201h Avenue in Lino Lakes. We asked to be placed on the June 11th Planning
Commission and July 14th City Council Meeting as found on the 2025 Application Deadline & Meeting schedule. We
are excited to work with you on this project.

`O Engineerinq
• General
The Erickson Property development is approximately 5 acres which extends a stubbed
street (Osakis Street) from the Watermark (5t") Development on the east side of CSAH 54
(201" Avenue). The current project proposes 14 single family lots and associated
a infrastructure.
a
z Grading
a
U)
The Erickson Property Development includes site grading for the 14 homes as well as the
extension of Osakis Street and driveways.
N
W
H
D Comments:
1. Provide EOF elevations, locations and routes for all low points in the paved and
greenspaces.
w 2. Show all high and break points
3. Label all inlet elevations
co 4. Replace the eastern existing FES with CBMH and utilize the existing rear swales
from Watermark 5th/6t" (see redline comments) eliminating the proposed swale on
w the Erickson Property lots.
;° a. Consider removing FES and pipe and converting STMH to CBMH
Page 31 of 46
Ms. Katie Larsen

Page 2
b. Minimum freeboard requirement between EOF and proposed/existing Lowest
Opening Elevations (LOE) is 1'
c. Utilize current grading as-builts/plans for Watermark
5. Drainage from one lot to another requires drainage and utility easement
6. Propose future 'ghost' grading including roadway for remaining area between
Erickson Property and Watermark 6th to justify temporary retaining walls and how
they will be removed in the future
a. Further discussion regarding retaining wall location, ownership, and future
maintenance will be required
b. Retaining walls exceeding 4' in height shall require a plan prepared by a
Minnesota licensed structural engineer submitted for review and approval by
the Building Official prior to permit issuance
i. Provide fences for safety as required.
7. Driveways/Garages will need to be on the southern sides of the two most northern
lots with the temporary cul de sac.
• Stormwater Management
Stormwater management for the Erickson Property site consists of a sedimentation basin to
provide treatment. Existing and proposed discharge rates are summarized below.

basins landlocked
Comments:
1. This development falls within the Northeast Drainage Area Comprehensive
Stormwater Management Plan (CSMP) area and as such is beholden to additional
rate control and volume reduction requirements.
2. The pond south of this development was constructed with the Watermark
development and designed to include runoff from the Erickson Property. If rates are
reduced or maintained from existing conditions, volume control provided in the form
of stormwater reuse, and water quality treatment provided by the proposed pond, it is
recommended to overflow the onsite pond south to the existing Pond 500 (NWL 899,
HWL 904.3). This allows the proposed development to meet CSMP rate control
requirements by utilizing the existing Watermark system that already meets
requirements.
3. Why does PB-3 have water surface land cover modeled in HydroCAD?
4. The pond EOF must include riprap stabilization.
5. The modeled pond EOF of 906.5 does not reflect the EOF of 905.57 in the plans.
6. A detail must be provided for the pond outlet control structure.
7. The 10' aquatic bench should continue around the entire pond. If that is not feasible,
the bench should at least be on the eastern side of the basin to provide a safety
bench for residents.
8. Provide calculations demonstrating spread at the catchbasin low points is 10' or less
for the 3-year storm event.
Erickson Property Development - Engineering Review

9. Rational method pipe capacity calculations must be provided showing storm sewer is
sized to convey the 10-year storm event. The minimum pipe diameter is 15".
10. The storm sewer draining to the pond must be raised to outlet at the pond NWL of
904.
11. The pipe between the catchbasins is 18" diameter, but the pipe to the pond is 15"
diameter. Resize one or the other to avoid flow constriction.
a. This pipe sizing also does not match the pipes modeled in HydroCAD.
12. Confirm constructability of MH-119 as a 2x3 structure based on proposed pipe sizes
and alignments.
13. Mesic prairie seeding should continue down to the BMP NWL instead of southern
boulevard.
• Water Supply
The proposed Erickson Property water system extension is consistent with the original
Watermark preliminary plat. This development will be served by 8- inch diameter ductile iron
pipe (DIP) water main which was stubbed with the Watermark 5th Addition and with 1-inch
Type K copper services being extended to each lot. A future 8" stub will be provided on the
north end to connect to the 8" water stub provided on Osakis Street with the Watermark 6th
Addition in the future.
Comments:
1. Provide utility profiles
2. Call out all utility crossings
a. Maintain minimum 18" separation
b. Insulate when separation between water (services/main) and storm sewer is
less than 36"
3. Show existing watermain along Norway Ln
4. Test the existing gate valve in Norway Ln
a. If holding, utilize the existing gate valve in Norway Ln for testing
i. Do not connect to existing with a gate valve
b. Otherwise, remove watermain back to and including existing gate valve
i. Connect to existing with new 8" gate valve at that location
5. Utilize current utility as-builts/plans for Watermark 51h and 61h Additions
• Sanitary Sewer
The proposed Erickson Property sanitary sewer is generally consistent with the original
Watermark preliminary plat. Originally this street was to be served from the north with an
8" stub from Rainy Lane as part of the Watermark 6th Addition but, due to the northern
most property in the stretch not participating, the segment will now need to be served from
the existing sanitary sewer in Norway Lane which was installed as part of Watermark 5th
Addition. This development will be served by 8- inch diameter poly -vinyl chloride (PVC)
pipe along with 4-inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC service pipe to each lot.
Comments:
1. Provide utility profiles
2. Create a detail for connection to existing sanitary sewer main with sanitary manhole
a. Describe process for maintaining existing sanitary sewer, watermain, and
storm sewer service as well as vehicle access during construction
Erickson Property Development - Engineering Review
Page 33 of 46
Ms. Katie Larsen
06/04/2025
Page 4
b. Review impact of proposed sanitary sewer main on existing storm sewer and
watermain
i. Provide how existing utilities will be protected during installation or
salvaged and reinstalled or removed and replaced
ii. Possible redesign/realignment of storm sewer
3. The sanitary sewer segment between MH-117 and MH-116 should be 8" PVC SDR
26
a. All other sanitary sewer main should be 8" PVC SDR 35
b. The minimum required slope is 0.40%
4. Update all details C7.X/X shown on the plans
5. Install 8" future sanitary sewer plug to the north of MH-113
• Transportation
The proposed roadway is consistent with the original Watermark preliminary plat. The
work in this development includes extending Osakis Street, proposed to be 32' wide from
back -of -curb to back -of -curb, and installing a temporary cul de sac on the north end. The
termination of the curb will need to be further discussed with Public Works/Engineering.
Trails and sidewalks
A sidewalk is proposed along the west side of the road consistent with the original
Watermark preliminary plat. The termination point of the sidewalk will need to be further
discussed with Public Works/Engineering.
Comments:
1. Show the restoration limits as a result of the proposed sanitary sewer connection
(full -width)
2. Include type 3 barricades and future thru street sign at the north end of the temporary
cul de sac
a. Provide protection for the temporary hydrant
3. Further discussions of extending the existing bituminous trail or grading for a future
trail along the east side of CSAH 54 (201h Avenue) are needed
4. Utilize current street as-builts/plans for Watermark 51h and 61h Additions
• Wetlands and Mitigation Plan
Site disturbances are in an upland location and wetland impacts are not proposed.
• Landscaping
A Landscape Plan for Erickson Property development has been submitted and will be
reviewed by staff and the City's Environmental Coordinator. The Environmental Coordinator
will provide separate comments.
• Floodplain
No floodplain impacts are proposed on site.

IN [jN"E
To: Katie Larsen, City Planner
From: Tom Hoffman, Environmental Coordinator
Date: May 28, 2025
Re: Environmental Comments— Erickson Properties Preliminary Plat
Environmental Board had recommended the following at their May 28, 2025 meeting:
1. Stormwater management to be reviewed by City Engineer
a. Use of Stormwater for irrigation purposes for the site should be evaluated
and if feasible required as part of site development. Larger stormwater
ponds constructed for fill should be evaluated for water reuse.
b. Infiltration is required to be shown where feasible based on soil borings.
If infiltration is not feasible follow the Minimum impact design standards
(MIDS)) as designed by the MPCA
2. EOF should be shown as stabilized rock to prevent erosion of the stormwater pond.
3. Low maintenance turf should be evaluated throughout development. Ground covers
should be drought resistant to reduce the need for irrigation use.
4. Provide a tree inventory for the site showing only significant deciduous trees of 6" in
dbh or larger. Coniferous trees are measured by height, coniferous trees over 12' would
be considered significant.
a. Coniferous trees should be measured by height not DBH.
b. Remove off -site trees from the final tree inventory
c. Mitigation table provided for trees outside of basic use.
5. On section 4.1, bold or change the color of the tree tags to be visible.
6. Current plans show Twelve (12) trees being removed for storm water ponding.
Stormwater ponding is not included under the basic use area and therefore mitigation
will be required of those removals.
Page 36 of 46
7. Sheet L7.1 shows coniferous tree planting detail. No coniferous trees are being shown
on the planting tables. Remove this detail if not in use.
8. On Block one lot one and block two lot seven, the trees are planted outside of the
boulevard. The city is okay but noted there will not be future planting there.
9. Trees that are to be preserved should show tree protection (snow fence or silt fence)
around the trees during construction.
10. Provide plantings in the rear of block two for screening from adjacent existing homes.
11. Provide calculations for open space requirements. 1 large tree and 2 large shrubs are
required for every 2,500sf of open space.
12. Shrubs located in the rear lots of block 1 should be planted within the property
boundaries for screening. Open space requirements will require the planting of shrubs
within the outlot as well.
13. Seed mixes should be updated to MNDOT seed mix design numbers for final plans.
Please provide more site -specific mixes for each location
14. Add inlet protection to catch basins on corner of Osakis and Norway lane
15. Add inlet protection to storm manholes adjacent to project site.
16. Provide redundant perimeter control along east boundary of project site adjacent to
existing storm sewer.
17. The project will disturb more than an acre of soil and will be required to obtain an
NPDES permit. Proof of permit should be required before construction.
a. A SWPPP shall be required in additional submittals as required by the
MPCA meeting sections 5.2-5.26
b. Final erosion and sediment control will be reviewed with future
submittals
18. The project site falls within the 1-35E AUAR study area. The proposed development will
be required to meet all requirements of the AUAR including mitigation measures.
19. Tree removal should be completed in the fall or winter to minimize impacts to migrating
or nesting bat populations

CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 25-93
APPROVING ERICKSON PROPERTY UTILITY STAGING AREA AMENDMENT AND
PRELIMINARY PLAT
WHEREAS, the City received a land use application for Erickson Property Preliminary
Plat, hereinafter referred to as "Development", and
WHEREAS, City staff has completed a review of the Development based on the following:
• ALTA Survey prepared by Landform dated April 29, 2025
• Erickson Property Plan Set prepared by Landform dated May 12, 2025
• Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Landform revision date May 22, 2025
• Geotechnical Exploration Report prepared by Haugo Geotechnical Services dated May 6,
2025
• Narrative prepared by Landform dated May 12, 2025; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Planning & Zoning Board on June 11,
2025 and the Board recommended approval of the Development with conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Development and the lot to the north addressed 7598 20t" Avenue is
located in Utility Staging Area 1B (2025-2030); and
WHEREAS, the Watermark residential development surrounding these two (2) lots is
also within Utility Staging Area 1B (2025-2030); and
WHEREAS, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan states the following criteria will be used to
determine where and when to open up the next 10-year staging area, or five-year phase within
a staging area, in accordance with the timing indicated on the staging plan:
1. Adequate infrastructure must be available to support development. Appropriate
analysis will determine if adequate infrastructure is available and what utility extensions and
transportation improvements are required to support new development. If infrastructure is not
available and cannot be made available in a timely manner to support expanding into the next
10-year staging area or five-year phase within a staging area, the city may refrain from opening
up the next staging area, or portions thereof.
Adequate infrastructure is available to support development.
Page 41 of 46
2. Different areas of the city can be considered independently. A decision to open one area
of the city to development does not automatically open a different area of the city. Decisions to
open new areas to development should clearly define and map the area being opened.
Only the two (2) lots addressed 7590 201" Avenue and 7598 20t" Avenue will be opened to
development with this resolution.
3. This process does not require a comprehensive plan amendment because it is in
