ADJOURNMENT Page 3 of 240 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM C. STAFF ORIGINATOR: Roberta Colotti, City Clerk MEETING DATE July 14, 2025 AGENDA ITEM: Odd/Even Year Election - Update INTRODUCTION In accordance with the City Charter, the City of Lino Lakes municipal elections are held in odd- years. BACKGROUND The Lino Lakes Charter Commission and City Council have discussed the option of moving to even-year elections several times in the past and most recently in April at the Joint Charter Commission /City Council work session. The Charter Commission took this issue up at the July 10, 2025, meeting and voted to maintain the odd-year election calendar. According to the Secretary of State's Office of 856 cities, 18 will be conducting an odd-year election in 2025. The Municipal Election will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. There is not an August Primary in Lino Lakes. Absentee voting for 2025 will be processed by Anoka County. Affidavit of Candidacy filing for the office of Mayor and two Council seats begins on Tuesday,July 29th and closes on Tuesday, August 12th. REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION Council update, no action required. ATTACHMENTS None Page 4 of 240 CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT ITEM D STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director WORK SESSION DATE: July 14, 2025 TOPIC: Municipal Cannabis Retail Store BACKGROUND The City Council is considering the possibility of establishing a municipal retail store as a potential revenue generator. On July 7, 2025, the City Council reviewed the draft Market/Feasibility study prepared by Great White Companies, for a municipal retail store. While not final, the report indicated an opportunity for significant revenue generation from a retail operation. Staff is working with Great White Companies, to complete the report. However, the council expressed interest, with some reservation, of continuing the evaluation. Under state law, the City is required to allow two privately owned retail stores. A municipal store license would be in addition to those. While the state license application process is currently closed, staff anticipates another opportunity in the following months. The City's Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) discussed a municipal cannabis store at it's July 10, 2025, meeting. The EDAC generally supported moving forward with the following recommendations: • Consideration should include a plan for how revenues would be used and benefit residents of Lino Lakes as part of the development process. • Consideration should include development of a process in the annual budgeting/levy process to show residents the impact on property taxes. • Provide an opportunity for public comment on the establishment of a municipal retail operation. The EDAC also provide staff with additional considerations for incorporation into contractual documents should the project move forward. If the City moves forward, it would likely be under a public/private partnership whereby a private entity would own and operate the store and profit share with the City. Under this 1 Page 5 of 240 scenario options would include negotiating directly with a single firm or advertising a Request for Proposals (RFP). The RFP would include, but not limited to Company profile, experience in retail operations, operational plan, financial proposal, supply chain, and proposed timeline to launch operations. REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION Staff is requesting Council direction to add consideration to advertise a Request for Proposals for a Municipal Cannabis Store Operator, to the July 14, 2025, regular agenda.

Call to Order and Roll Call Mayor Rafferty called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. Mayor Rafferty welcomed Karen Anderson to the city in her new role as City Administrator. 2. Setting the Agenda: Addition or Deletion of Agenda Items The agenda was adopted as presented. 3. Municipal Cannabis Dispensary, Feasibility Study Proposal The City Administrator presented a proposal from Great White Companies MN, LLC, to complete a Municipal Cannabis Retail Store Feasibility Study, that would be community specific. The feasibility study proposal stated that it will help illustrate the potential market and highlight projected sales. The City Administrator stated that after reviewing the proposal and speaking with other area cities and consultants, the contract is recommended for approval. Mayor Rafferty stated that this item was discussed as a potential revenue source. He stated that it was the Council's direction to have staff review options to complete a study and tonight the Council is being presented with a proposal for consideration. He stated that he also spoke with other area cities to research this matter further. Councilmember Cavegn highlighted that by State Law; the city is required to allow cannabis retail stores. He stated that he supports authorizing the feasibility study as presented. He stated that the projected revenues from a municipal cannabis retail store Page 1 of 5 Page 17 of 240 would need to be significant for him to support moving forward with constructing a store. Mayor Rafferty stated regarding potential revenue; the cannabis store would have more competition than a municipal liquor store. The City is required to allow two private cannabis retail stores in addition to the proposed municipal store, in accordance with our current population numbers, under State law. Councilmember Stoesz reiterated that as stated at past meetings on this topic, he is not in support of a municipal cannabis retails store. He stated it is not a core function of a city. Furthermore, having enforcement responsibilities and revenue generated with a retail cannabis store is a conflict of interest. Mayor Rafferty stated that the feasibility study approval is on the regular meeting agenda for formal action tonight. He stated that the feasibly study would provide the City with cost/revenue information that can be used in making a determination regarding opening a municipal cannabis retail store. Mayor Rafferty returned to the subject of the municipal cannabis store when Councilmember Lyden joined the meeting to receive his feedback on the proposal. Councilmember Lyden stated that he supports moving forward with the feasibility study. He noted that the location of the retail store will be an important decision. Mayor Rafferty also returned to the subject and asked Councilmember Ruhland his opinion on the municipal cannabis retail store feasibility study when he arrived.

Contract for Strategic Planning Sessions The City Administrator presented the proposed City Council Strategic Planning and Goal Setting contract with Facilitator Phil Kern. The proposal outlined scheduling two workshops focused on three elements of strategic planning and organizational leadership. The outline for the process would be long-term direction, organizational performance, and development of a short-term goals program to support immediate needs and the vision/strategic plan of the City. Mayor Rafferty stated that there are several recent requests and recommendations that have been presented to the Council for consideration, and developing a Strategic Plan to Page 2 of 5 Page 18 of 240 respond to these is important. This item is scheduled for formal approval at the regular meeting this evening. 5. 2026 Budget Calendar The Interim Finance Director presented the proposed 2026 Budget Calendar for review by the City Council.

The Fire Chief reviewed the appointment of Ky Page to the Paid On-Call Firefighter position, at Step 1 of the Paid On-Call Firefighting wage scale, scheduled for formal action at the regular meeting.

The City Administrator stated that there is still some work that needs to be done on the policy. The Interim Finance Director stated that the 2025 Budget impact was discussed and the 2025 Budget still potentially needs to be amended in relation to this item. The cost of this coverage can be planned for in the 2026 Budget. Staff is working on clarifying when Page 4 of 5 Page 20 of 240 an individual firefighter becomes eligible under law and the City is required to provide coverage. City staff need to work on the personnel policy. This is the direction the City is going but we are not at the point of implementation of the full policy immediately. Councilmember Ruhland asked what the cost of the insurance was for this program. The Interim Finance Director stated the cost was approximately $18,000 or a payment if the firefighter does not take insurance. She stated that staff need to review the city policies and laws regarding this insurance payment. Councilmember Ruhland stated that he is in favor of the insurance payment. Mayor Rafferty requested further clarification regarding the payment made when a firefighter does not take insurance under the program. The Interim Finance Director clarified that Human Resources needs to review the policy regarding payment to those that do not take insurance. She stated that this is a new classification of employees, who are not covered by a union or current policy. She stated that is why the clarifying language regarding providing insurance when required by law is being recommended. Councilmember Lyden stated that he is in favor of providing insurance.

BACKGROUND The 1-35E Corridor Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) is an environmental review document that analyzed potential impacts of development within a study area of 4,660 acres. The final document was originally adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council on October 24, 2005. The AUAR serves as a substitute environmental review. As long as a development project is consistent with the assumptions of the analyses in the AUAR, no additional environmental review is required. A key component of the AUAR is the mitigation plan that addresses cumulative impacts of development as the corridor develops. In order to remain valid, the AUAR must be revised under certain criteria. One of the criteria is the passing of five years. The City has previously approved updates in 2010, 2015, and 2020. The 2025 update identifies development or changes that have occurred during the last five years. The document has been updated to reflect changes including the modification of the two development scenarios investigated. These include: 1) 2040 Comprehensive Plan Full Build Out Land Use 2) Modified Full Build Out with increase residential and commercial development and reduction in industrial development WSB and Associates, the City's Engineer, completed the draft update in April of 2025.

Reason for EAW Preparation: (check one) NA 5. Project Location: County: Anoka City/Township: Lino Lakes 6. Project Description: Overview The City of Lino Lakes adopted the 1-35E Corridor AUAR in conformance with Minnesota Rules 4410 in 2005. The City has subsequently updated the AUAR every five years. The AUAR study area is approximately 4,670 acres and is located in the northeastern portion of the City as shown in Figure 1. Development Scenarios Three development scenarios were included in the original 2005 AUAR and the 2020 update included two revised scenarios based on both the 2030 and draft 2040 Comprehensive Plans. The City has since adopted its 2040 Comprehensive Plan; making the revised Scenario 3 (2030 Comprehensive Plan)outdated and no longer applicable. The revised scenarios are within the 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update June 6,2025 Page 1 Page 57 of 240 original density thresholds of the original AUAR, and the scenarios are consistent the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Scenario 1 This scenario represents development based on the City's current 2040 Comprehensive Plan full build out land use. This scenario has a higher industrial use and less residential than the Scenario 2. Table 1 provides a summary of this uses for this scenario. Figure 2 shows the studied land uses. Scenario 2 This scenario has higher residential and commercial land use, with less industrial than Scenario 1. This scenario is still within the assumptions of the original AUAR. Table 1 provides a summary of this uses for this scenario. Figure 3 shows the studied land uses. Approximately 843.3 acres have been developed within the study area (Figure 4). The remaining 3,826.7 acres are anticipated to develop over the next 5-40 years, depending upon market conditions. Table 1. Summary of AUAR Scenarios Land Use AUAR Scenarios Scenario 1 Residential units 4,888 Commercial sf 5,084,819 Industrial sf 12,817,289 Scenario 2 Residential units 7,403 Commercial sf 5,306,914 Industrial sf 10,053,499 Planned Infrastructure Development in the study area will require infrastructure improvements. The analysis for stormwater, water, wastewater, and traffic have been updated. Analyses of climate adaptation and resilience, and greenhouse gas emissions were included as part of this AUAR Update to evaluate the revised scenarios. These analyses are included in the appendices. Stormwater: The stormwater analysis was updated based on the development scenarios land use assumptions. Additionally, rules and regulations regarding stormwater management in the study area have changed since the original AUAR was completed and is consistent with the 2020 update. Stormwater will be required to be managed based on local, regional, and state water resource rules. The updated analysis indicates that runoff volumes will be reduced by approximately 60% compared to existing conditions based on the implementation of stormwater management controls for both development scenarios. This will also reduce downstream pollutant loading. Appendix B contains the stormwater management analysis. Water: The projected water demands for the development scenarios have remained within the parameters discussed in the original AUAR and subsequent updates. These scenarios are anticipated to increase the annual water use above the current authorized appropriated volume for the City, similarly as anticipated in the original AUAR. The mitigation measures for water appropriation and use have been reviewed and minor revisions were made. Appendix C contains the water appropriation analysis. 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update June 6,2025 Page 2 Page 58 of 240 Wastewater: Wastewater within the study area would be conveyed with existing and future sanitary sewer and then directed to two Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) interceptors. Wastewater is then conveyed through the regional collection system to the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant. The revised analysis projects less wastewater flow than anticipated in the original AUAR and is consistent with the 2020 update. The mitigation measures have been reviewed, and no changes were needed with this Update. Appendix D contains wastewater management analysis. Traffic: The traffic analysis was updated based on the development scenarios. This incorporated the existing conditions and projected 2040 conditions. The analysis shows that future traffic generated with the revised development scenarios will be less than those assumed in the original AUAR and consistent with the 2020 update. No changes to the mitigation measures are needed. Appendix E contains the traffic analysis. Climate Adaptation and Resilience: The climate adaptation and resilience analysis was included within this update. The climate analysis for the project location supported the overall Minnesota climate trend of increasing temperatures, more damaging rains, and an increased risk of drought. The AUAR update includes mitigation measures that can help mitigate the projected climate trends for the proposed development scenarios. Appendix F contains the Climate adaptation and resilience memo. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission/Carbon Footprint: A GHG analysis was included with this project update, measuring the difference in emissions between estimated existing conditions and Scenarios 1 and 2. The proposed Scenarios will significantly increase housing, commercial, and industrial uses within the project area, as well as anticipated emissions from these uses. Appendix J contains the GHG memo and analysis. Approved Development within the Study Area Since the 2020 AUAR Update, some anticipated development did not occur, and some projects were constructed within the study area. Figure 4 shows the areas that have developed in the study area. Since the 2020 Update, the following has occurred in the study area: • NorthPointe Garden Estates: A 72-unit multi-tenant senior living facility was completed in 2022. • Kwik Trip#1182: A 10,900 square foot gas station containing gas and diesel pumps was competed in 2022/2023 within the City of Centerville. • NorBella Senior Living: A 40-unit multi-tenant senior living facility was completed in 2022/2023 within the City of Centerville. • New Horizon Academy: A 12,027 square foot daycare and preschool center was completed in 2024. • Associated Eye Care: A 12,305 square foot eye clinic completed in 2022/2023 • 7107 Otter Lake Rd: A 7,000 square foot multi-tenant commercial building completed in 2022. • Culver's: A 4,260 square foot commercial property completed in 2024. • Sutton Transport: A 40,000 square foot industrial property completed in 2023 within the City of Centerville. • 2010 Fairview St: A 10,400 square foot multi-tenant industrial property completed in 2024 within the City of Centerville. 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update June 6,2025 Page 3 Page 59 of 240 • DMS6 Amazon Delivery Station: A 141,000 square foot warehouse/logistics hub completed in 2024 within the City of Centerville. • Watermark: Phases 4-8 of single-family residential development (440 lots) completed 2021- 2024 • Tidal Wave Auto Spa: A 3,500 square foot commercial property completed in 2023. • Aldi: A 20,000 square foot commercial property is pending approval. AUAR Mitigation Plan The mitigation plan that has been developed as part of the AUAR process has been revised with this Update. It is included in Appendix K. 6. Climate Adaptation and Resilience: a. Describe the climate trends in the general location of the project (see guidance: Climate Adaptation and Resilience) and how climate change is anticipated to affect that location during the life of the project b. For each Resource Category in the table below: Describe how the project's proposed activities and how the project's design will interact with those climate trends. Describe proposed adaptations to address the project effects identified Table 1. Analysis on climate adaptation and resilience can be found in Appendix F. 7. Cover types: Estimate the acreage of the site with each of the following cover types before and after development: The original AUAR cites the Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS). This data is applicable today. Some areas as shown in Figure 4 have developed and have shifted to impervious and landscaped cover types. The land cover of the undeveloped areas continues to be consistent with the original AUAR with planted or cultivated areas, urban areas, wooded and shrub areas, and wetlands. The Conservation Design Framework outlined in the AUAR has continued to be carried forward in the mitigation plan. This framework outlines open space and conservation corridor space where some areas would be preserved, and some areas would be reviewed for development that could be inclusive to open space. 8. Permits and approvals required: List all known local, state and federal permits, approvals, certifications, and financial assistance for the project. Include modifications of any existing permits, governmental review of plans and all direct and indirect forms of public financial assistance including bond guarantees, Tax Increment Financing, and infrastructure. All of these final decisions are prohibited until all appropriate environmental review has been completed. See Minnesota Rules, Chapter 4410.3100.

Groundwater—aquifers, springs, seeps. Include: 1) depth to groundwater; 2) if project is within a MDH wellhead protection area; 3) identification of any onsite and/or nearby wells, including unique numbers and well logs if available. If there are no wells known on site or nearby, explain the methodology used to determine this. As indicated in the original AUAR, the study area has shallow groundwater. The Minnesota Hydrogeology Atlas indicates that the depth to water table within the study area varies from 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update June 6,2025 Page 6 Page 62 of 240 open water to 20 feet deep. Additional information about groundwater can be found in Appendix C. b. Describe effects from project activities on water resources and measures to minimize or mitigate the effects in Item b.i. through Item b.iv. below. i. Wastewater— For each of the following, describe the sources, quantities and composition of all sanitary, municipal/domestic and industrial wastewater produced or treated at the site. 1) If the wastewater discharge is to a publicly owned treatment facility, identify any pretreatment measures and the ability of the facility to handle the added water and waste loadings, including any effects on, or required expansion of, municipal wastewater infrastructure. 2) If the wastewater discharge is to a subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS), describe the system used, the design flow, and suitability of site conditions for such a system. 3) If the wastewater discharge is to surface water, identify the wastewater treatment methods and identify discharge points and proposed effluent limitations to mitigate impacts. Discuss any effects to surface or groundwater from wastewater discharges. Updated analysis on the wastewater system can be found in Appendix D. ii. Stormwater— Describe the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff at the site prior to and post construction. Include the routes and receiving water bodies for runoff from the site (major downstream water bodies as well as the immediate receiving waters). Discuss any environmental effects from stormwater discharges. Describe stormwater pollution prevention plans including temporary and permanent runoff controls and potential BMP site locations to manage or treat stormwater runoff. Identify specific erosion control, sedimentation control or stabilization measures to address soil limitations during and after project construction. Updated analysis on stormwater can be found in Appendix B. iii. Water appropriation — Describe if the project proposes to appropriate surface or groundwater(including dewatering). Describe the source, quantity, duration, use, and purpose of the water use and if a DNR water appropriation permit is required. Describe any well abandonment. If connecting to an existing municipal water supply, identify the wells to be used as a water source and any effects on, or required expansion of, municipal water infrastructure. Discuss environmental effects from water appropriation, including an assessment of the water resources available for appropriation. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate environmental effects from the water appropriation. Updated analysis on water system impacts can be found in Appendix C. 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update June 6,2025 Page 7 Page 63 of 240 iv. Surface Waters a) Wetlands—Describe any anticipated physical effects or alterations to wetland features such as draining, filling, permanent inundation, dredging and vegetative removal. Discuss direct and indirect environmental effects from physical modification of wetlands, including the anticipated effects that any proposed wetland alterations may have to the host watershed. Identify measures to avoid (e.g., available alternatives that were considered), minimize, or mitigate environmental effects to wetlands. Discuss whether any required compensatory wetland mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts will occur in the same minor or major watershed and identify those probable locations. b) Other surface waters— Describe any anticipated physical effects or alterations to surface water features (lakes, streams, ponds, intermittent channels, county/judicial ditches) such as draining, filling, permanent inundation, dredging, diking, stream diversion, impoundment, aquatic plant removal and riparian alteration. Discuss direct and indirect environmental effects from physical modification of water features. Identify measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate environmental effects to surface water features, including in-water Best Management Practices that are proposed to avoid or minimize turbidity/sedimentation while physically altering the water features. Discuss how the project will change the number or type of watercraft on any water body, including current and projected watercraft usage. Impacts to wetlands and surface waters include potential impacts associated with filling or draining as development occurs. These impacts were contemplated in the original AUAR and subsequent updates. Aquatic resource delineations are required and completed as development progresses. Estimates of impacts for the study area are difficult to anticipate without specific site plans. However, these impacts are anticipated to be typical of development and are subject to local, state, and federal wetland rules through the Rice Creek Watershed District, Wetland Conservation Act, US Army Corps of Engineers, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Impacts to wetlands will need to meet the sequencing requirements and water quality regulations, and wetland replacement and/or pre-treatment may be needed. Replacement could occur on-site or through the purchase of wetland banking credits. Hardwood Creek and Peltier Lake are impaired waters and development within 1 mile of these resources are required to incorporate additional BMPs listed in Section 23 of the Minnesota Construction Stormwater General Permit as applicable for discharges from the project site that then drains to these waters. No significant difference in analysis from the 2020 Update is needed for this Update. 12. Contamination/Hazardous Materials/Wastes: a.

Discuss potential environmental effects from accidental spill or release of hazardous materials. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the use/storage of chemicals/hazardous materials including source reduction and recycling. Include development of a spill prevention plan. As indicated in the original AUAR, there is the potential for gas stations to be included as development occurs with the appropriate land use and zoning per scenario. A gas stations or convenience stores would have underground storage tanks. There may also be light industrial development that includes storage of diesel fuel for operations. These types of developments would be required to meet all other state and federal permitting and guidance for operations. A gas station and convenience store were constructed within the study area since the 2020 Update. d. Project related generation/storage of hazardous wastes — Describe hazardous wastes generated/stored during construction and/or operation of the project. Indicate method of disposal. Discuss potential environmental effects from hazardous waste handling, storage, and disposal.

The AUAR analyzed the stormwater impacts of the three development ° scenarios. Based on the analysis, a Mitigation Plan was developed. c� w AUAR updates are required every five years from the original date of the approved AUAR. co Updates were prepared in 2010, 2015, and 2020. The 2020 update was made with draft scenarios of the Lino Lakes 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in November 2020. This AUAR update is based on two development scenarios. It includes mitigation improvements co that have been completed at this time and the proposed future land uses. M The information and analysis outlined within this memo is intended to complete a portion of the AUAR Update related to Item # 11.ii—Water Resources—Stormwater related to two proposed development scenarios. This memo is intended to update the stormwater analysis provided in the original AUAR where applicable. Z WATER RESOURCES—STORMWATER ii. Stormwater-Describe the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff at the site prior to ° and post construction. Include the routes and receiving water bodies for runoff from the a site (major downstream water bodies as well as the immediate receiving waters). Discuss W Z any environmental effects from stormwater discharges. Describe stormwater pollution prevention plans including temporary and permanent runoff controls and potential BMP site locations to manage or treat stormwater runoff. Identify specific erosion control, o sedimentation control or stabilization measures to address soil limitations during and after LU project construction. 7) U) Procedures and Methods Followed U) The procedures and methods used to estimate the runoff volumes and pollutants loads within the D AUAR were based on the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) runoff curve number w method and event mean concentration pollutant values from the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. 'a Any development within the study area will be required to meet the stormwater standards of the a City of Lino Lakes and Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). These standards include: x • Promote volume control and groundwater recharge. • Protect water quality from nutrients, heavy metals, and other urban pollutants. M:\027919-000\Admin\Docs\Stormwater\MEMO-021725-Stormwater AP.docx Page 75 of 240 z Mr. Michael Grochala May 23, 2025 Page 2 • Protect life, public and private property, and the natural resources from damage resulting from runoff and the dangers associated with flooding. Existinq Conditions The study area currently consists primarily of agricultural, single/multifamily/rural residential, commercial, industrial, and park/open space areas. The impervious surface is primarily made up of residential/commercial roofs and the existing roadways. The major roads include 20th Avenue, 80th Street, County Road 14, and Interstates 35E and 35W. There are four major watersheds within the study area. The west and central portion of the study area is part of the Peltier subwatershed. The north part of the study area is within the Hardwood Creek subwatershed and Upper Rice Creek subwatershed, and the southeast part is within the Clearwater Creek subwatershed. All of these subwatersheds drain to Peltier Lake through tile drain or county ditch systems. Future development will need to address any requirements that are established due to current regulatory standards adopted by the RCWD, City of Lino Lakes, and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The MPCA has listed three water resources within the study area as impaired: Peltier Lake, Hardwood Creek, and Clearwater Creek. Peltier Lake and Hardwood Creek have approved Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)that provides additional guidance and requirements for pollutant loads. Approximately 67% of the study area consists of Group D soils, and the remaining area consists of Group A, B, and C soils, plus open water surface. These soil ratings are based on hydrologic soil classifications, with A soils having high infiltration rates even when thoroughly wetted. The infiltration rates for A soils range from 0.8 to 1.63 inches per hour(Minnesota Stormwater Manual). These soils consist chiefly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands and gravel. Group A soils have a high rate of water transmission, therefore resulting in a low runoff potential. Group B soils have moderate infiltration rates ranging from 0.3 to 0.45 inches per hour when thoroughly wetted. Group B soils consist of deep moderately well to well drained soils with moderately fine to moderately coarse textures. Group C soils have a low infiltration rate of 0.2 inches per hour when thoroughly wetted. Group C soils include a layer that impedes downward movement of water and soils with moderately fine to fine structure. Infiltration is very low in areas with Group D soils, and the design of infiltration basins is not recommended in areas with Group D soils (per the MPCA National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Construction General Permit). Proposed Conditions The two development scenarios were considered in this analysis for proposed conditions. Existing conditions and two proposed land use classifications were evaluated using curve numbers from the NRCS. Stormwater management for either proposed condition can be provided through a combination of wet detention ponds and infiltration and filtration features. Achieving volume reduction and pollutant reduction through the use of infiltration may be challenging for a majority of the study area due to a majority D soils with low infiltration rates and a high groundwater table. Stormwater management via green infrastructure such as stormwater reuse has been and will continue to be encouraged by the City of Lino Lakes and RCWD to achieve volume reduction and pollutant removal requirements. Reuse will be evaluated before implementation for safety and protection of human health. RCWD has supported stormwater reuse projects in the area with District funds in the past. M:\027919-000\Admin\Docs\Stormwater\MEMO-021725-Stormwater AP.docx Page 76 of 240 Mr. Michael Grochala May 23, 2025 Page 3 Local Stormwater Management Requirements Stormwater management within the future development of the study area must be in conformance with local requirements of the City of Lino Lakes, RCWD, and MPCA. Some requirements are more stringent than others. However, the development in the study area will need to demonstrate that all local standards are being met under proposed stormwater management techniques. The following is a summary of major stormwater management requirements: • Rice Creek Watershed District The RCWD rules (approved November 13, 2024) require that proposed peak runoff rates shall not exceed existing for the 2, 10, 100-year 24-hour rainfall events. Proposed projects must not adversely affect off-site water levels or resources supported by local recharge, or increase potential for on- and off-site flooding, during or after construction. The RCWD requires a water quality treatment volume depending on the area of new or reconstructed impervious surface. Applicants can use BMPs including infiltration, water reuse, filtration, and stormwater ponds to achieve the required water quality treatment volume. Each BMP design variation has a different pollutant removal factor, and applicants must provide sufficient treatment volume depending on the BMP used for the site. The RCWD has an approved Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (CSMP)for a portion of the AUAR area (Northeast Lino Lakes Drainage Area CSMP). This purpose of the CSMP is to present an alternative means to meet the RCWD rules. Projects within the CSMP area must conform to design requirements detailed in the CSMP report as applicable. • City of Lino Lakes The City's Stormwater, Erosion, and Sediment Control Ordinance (adopted October 26, 2015; amended January 9, 2023) requires proposed development to maintain or decrease runoff volume and flow frequency, duration and peak runoff rates. Proposed development must also increase infiltration or filtration opportunities, maintain existing flow patterns, and provide storage of stormwater runoff on site. Stormwater BMPs must provide infiltration where feasible, but if infiltration is shown as not feasible for a site due to physical or contamination limitations, then another stormwater BMP may be used with preference for stormwater reuse. Water discharged to BMPs shall be pretreated to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards. • National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Standards The MPCA is responsible for implementing NPDES standards. The NPDES requirements in the AUAR area will be from the NPDES Construction General Permit (effective August 1, 2023) and the NPDES Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit (effective November 16, 2020). The NPDES Construction General Permit requires that for sites replacing pervious surfaces with one acre or more of impervious surface, a water quality volume equivalent to 1 inch of runoff from the net increase of impervious surface should be treated. This can be met through wet sedimentation basins, infiltration/filtration, or regional ponding. There are three impaired waterbodies within the study area, and sites that are within one mile of impaired water bodies require additional BMPs. M:\027919-000\Admin\Docs\Stormwater\MEMO-021725-Stormwater AP.docx Page 77 of 240 Mr. Michael Grochala May 23, 2025 Page 4 The NPDES MS4 permit requires permittees to provide post-construction water quality standards adopted at the local level. The MS4 permit requires permittees to meet the requirements of future TMDLs. Currently there is a TMDL Implementation Plan proposed for discharges to Peltier Lake and Hardwood Creek, they are identified as the Peltier Lake and Centerville Lake Excess Nutrients TMDL and the Hardwood Creek Impaired Biota (Fish) and Dissolved Oxygen TMDL. Depending on the location and proximity to impaired waters, development within the AUAR area may need to complete an anti- degradation analysis for the impaired water. Water Quantity and Quality Analysis A water quantity and quality analysis was completed for the existing and proposed conditions within the study area. This quantitative analysis uses the NRCS runoff curve number method to calculate runoff, and the results are summarized in Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1 summarizes the total runoff volumes for both proposed conditions scenarios, with and without volume reductions, compared to the existing condition. Table 1. Existin and Proposed Annual Runoff Volumes' Existing 2040 Scenario 1 2040 Scenario 1 2040 Scenario 2 2040 Scenario 2 conditions without Volume with Volume without Volume with Volume co Reduction Reduction2 Reduction Reduction2 (AC-FT) (AC-FT) (AC-FT) (AC-FT) (AC-FT) 11,193 11,357 4,026 11,365 3,787 'Annual runoff volumes are based on an average of 32 inches of rainfall for the state of Minnesota. 21.1 inches represents approximately 90%of all rain events in Minnesota(Minnesota Minimal Impact Design Standards, MPCA), therefore volume reduction of 90%was assumed in all land use areas for proposed scenarios, except Permanent Rural, Urban Reserve and Right-of Way, which are assumed to not require any future stormwater management. Table 2 summarizes the total pollutant loads for proposed conditions, with and without volume reductions, compared to the existing condition. Table 2.

M:\027919-000\Admin\Docs\Stormwater\MEMO-021725-Stormwater AP.docx Page 78 of 240 Mr. Michael Grochala May 23, 2025 Page 5 To achieve compliance with regulatory requirements, future development must provide annual volume and pollutant load reductions in the amounts required by Local Stormwater Management Regulations and comply with the TMDL. The values presented in Tables 1 and 2 show the estimated annual volume and pollutant load reductions based on the conceptual analysis, and do not include any site-specific constraints for individual developments within the AUAR area. Potential Impact to Downstream Receiving Waters The analysis within the AUAR area shows that the runoff volumes will be reduced by approximately 60 percent for the two proposed land use scenarios compared to existing conditions. This is achieved through implementing City of Lino Lakes, RCWD, and NPDES volume reduction requirements. This reduction in runoff translates directly to the reduction in pollutant loads shown in Table 2.

The AUAR analyzed the water appropriation impacts of the two development scenarios. Based on the analysis, a Mitigation Plan was developed. 0 0 6 AUAR updates are required every five years from the original date of the approved AUAR. w Updates were prepared in 2010, 2015, and 2020. Each assumed no change in the proposed co development land use scenarios and included discussion of mitigation improvements that had been completed at the time. Since the 2020 update, the City has adopted its 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This AUAR Update reviews two scenarios. co The information and analysis outlined within this memo is intended to complete a portion of the M AUAR Update related to Item# 11.b.iii—Water Resources—Water Appropriation related to revising of the three scenarios. This memo is intended to update the water analysis provided in the original AUAR where applicable.

Temporary water appropriation for construction D dewatering under DNR General Permit 1997-0005 will likely be required for the construction of w building foundations and buried utilities. a a Currently, the majority of the study area is served by private wells. The Minnesota Well Index indicates there are approximately 90 wells within the study area which are nearly all for domestic use. No information is available regarding these private wells beyond the Minnesota Well Index. It is possible that additional pre-code unlocated wells exist within the study area. Developers are responsible for locating and sealing any unlocated wells prior to development. Private well MA027919-000Wdmin\Docs\Water Wastewater\MEMO Water 2025-06-02.docx Page 82 of 240 z Mr. Michael Grochala June 12, 2025 Page 2 locations should be taken into consideration when reviewing development proposals involving potential contaminant sources such as fuel storage tanks, in which case spill prevention plans should be considered. The municipal water supply system has a DNR water appropriation permit. The water distribution system exists in the southern portion of the study area and currently extends north of Main Street on either side of 1-35E. The system will continue to be extended as development progresses. The southern portion of the study area overlaps with moderate vulnerability portions of the City of Lino Lakes and City of Centerville Drinking Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMAs)that are delineated in their respective Wellhead Protection Plans, and the moderate vulnerability classification should be considered when reviewing land use applications within those areas. The geology of the City's existing wells is consistent with other communities in the Twin Cities Metro Area. The Paleozoic sedimentary rocks around the Twin Cities Metro area have three primary aquifers (in descending order): Prairie du Chien—Jordan, Tunnel City-Wonewoc(formerly the Franconian-Ironton-Galesville (FIG)), and Mt. Simon-Hinckley. Each of these are separated by a confining layer that essentially separates the aquifers. The Prairie du Chien—Jordan aquifer is the highest yielding aquifer in the Metro Area. Although these two formations have different names and are geologically different, the two units have been shown to be hydraulically connected. All of the City's existing production wells are located in the Prairie du Chien—Jordan aquifer, and all future wells are anticipated to be as well. The City will continue to follow the typical DNR well permit process for new municipal production wells, including aquifer test pumping when necessary to evaluate aquifer sustainability and interference. Existing and future water demands for the entire City are detailed in the City's 2040 Comprehensive Water Supply Plan (Plan). Future infrastructure needs for the City, encompassing the AUAR study area, were developed in the Plan. A future well field was preliminarily located within the study area. If future wells are ultimately pursued in this area, they will require updates to the Emergency Response Area and DWSMA and associated land use considerations. The water system currently has six wells and three water towers, although Well No. 2 has been taken out of service due to poor water quality. Tower No. 3 was constructed in 2021, and Well No. 7 is anticipated in 2026. Well capacities range from 600 gallons per minute (gpm)to 1,800 gpm. The existing system firm capacity(with the largest well out of service) is 3,650 gpm excluding Well No. 2 due to poor water quality. From 2020-2024, the City averaged a total water demand of 99 gallons per capita per day and a maximum day to average day ratio (peaking factor)of 2.5. For the existing population served of approximately 18,000, this results in an average day demand of 1.78 million gallons per day (MGD) and a maximum day demand of 4.45 MGD. The DNR water appropriation permit for the City of Lino Lakes includes several restrictions imposed by the Ramsey County District Court Order from litigation related to the White Bear Lake water level. The restrictions are intended to protect the White Bear Lake water level and connected groundwater aquifers. The DNR North and East Metro Groundwater Management Area and Metropolitan Council are preparing a White Bear Lake Area Comprehensive Plan to study water supply alternatives for the Northeast Metro of the Twin Cities that both allow for growth and sustain the area's surface water and groundwater resources. The City will continue to work with regional partners like the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD)to evaluate and pursue alternative water supply projects like stormwater reuse for irrigation. The new residential development(Watermark)within the study area has incorporated stormwater reuse for irrigation.

These were revised from the 2005 Original AUAR. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan corresponds to revised Scenario 1. Scenario 2 has also been revised. Based on the planned land uses for each scenario, the projected water demand is summarized below. New development within the study area will connect to the municipal water system. Scenario 1 The projected water demands within the study area for Scenario 1 are shown in Table 1.

Both scenarios are projected to increase the annual water use beyond 900 MGY. Therefore, the City will likely require an amendment to its appropriation volume prior to full build out of the study area. The City's historical water use shows a decreasing trend in per capita use, which will likely decrease these projections by the time of development.

The 2005 Original AUAR identified the need for 1.0 MG of additional storage, approximately four additional wells, and trunk and lateral watermains. Water Tower No. 3 (1.5 MG)was constructed in 2021, and this AUAR Update reiterates the need for four to five additional wells. Computer modeling completed as part of the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update confirmed the adequacy of the planned 16-inch trunk watermain loop.

Of the 5,400 connections to the public sanitary sewer system, most are single family residential with some multi-family residential, commercial/ industrial, and institutional connections. The City has approximately 1,705 properties that are served by on-site septic systems. Based on Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) meter data from 2019-2023, the City's existing average daily wastewater flow is 1.04 million gallons per day(MGD). Since the wastewater generated within the City of Lino Lakes is primarily from residential units, the wastewater characteristics are assumed to be of typical domestic strength. Table 1 is a summary of the estimated existing wastewater characteristics for Lino Lakes. Table 1. Estimated Existing Wastewater Characteristics and Total Average Loadin Parameter Concentration Average Load (mg/L) (lbs/day) Biochemical Oxygen Demand 220 1,909 Total Suspended Solids 220 1,909 Ammonia —Nitrogen 25 217 Total Phosphorous 8 69 Wastewater generated within the City is collected by a series of laterals, trunk sewer mains, and lift stations and is then directed to one of three interceptor sewers that are owned, operated, and maintained by MCES (Interceptors 9106, 8361, and 9708). Wastewater is then conveyed through the MCES regional collection system to the Metropolitan WWTP. The Metropolitan WWTP has a design capacity of 314 MGD and currently receives an average daily flow of 180 MGD. Proposed Conditions The original AUAR considered three possible development scenarios, and the 2020 update revised Scenarios 1, 2 and 3 with the third scenario being considered as the 2030 comprehensive plan . The 2040 Comprehensive Plan corresponds to revised Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 was also revised. The third scenario considered is the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Scenario and is outdated and no longer applicable. The projected wastewater flow for each scenario is based on the planned land uses as described below. The municipal collection system currently extends to Main Street on either side of I-35E. The municipal trunk sewers will continue to be extended as development progresses. As detailed in the 2040 Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan, development within Sanitary Sewer District 3 and 5 will require at least one large regional lift station and several smaller lift stations. The majority of the wastewater generated within the study area will discharge to MCES Interceptor 802325 which is currently extended approximately 1,000 ft northwest of the intersection of Main Street and Elmcrest Avenue. The remainder will discharge to MCES Interceptor 7651 which currently serves the existing Sanitary Sewer District 3. All of the flow generated within the study area will be conveyed through the MCES regional collection system to the Metropolitan WWTP. Scenario 1 The proposed development within the study area for revised Scenario 1, the assumed wastewater flow for each land use type, and the projected wastewater flow for that development are summarized in Table 2.

The 2005 Original AUAR used flow assumptions of 274 gpd/unit for residential development and 1,500 gpd/acre for commercial and industrial development. The 2005 flow assumptions were very conservative, so the 2020 flow assumptions used in this update have been revised to agree more closely with metered wastewater flows from the last five years.

Due to topography constraints, the expansion and layout of the sanitary sewer system will generally conform to the layout identified in the 2005 Original AUAR. However, the exact sizing of trunk facilities may be revised based on the most current wastewater flow projections.

The AUAR analyzed the transportation impacts of the three development 5: scenarios for the years 2030 and post 2030. Based on the analysis, a Mitigation Plan was 0 developed. Mitigation included adding new roadway connections, intersection control, turn lanes, U 6 and widening roads as necessary as development occurs throughout the area. z w m AUAR updates are required every five years from the original date of the approved AUAR. Updates were prepared in 2010, 2015, and 2020. The 2010 and 2015 updates assumed no change in the proposed development land use scenarios and included discussion of mitigation improvements that co had been completed at the time. In both cases no additional mitigation was recommended. As part of the 2020 AUAR update, the City completed an updated Comprehensive Plan including a Transportation Plan for the 2040 forecast year. M TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION UPDATE There have been several developments in the study area that have been approved since the Z original AUAR was completed in 2005 through the 2020 update including: o Park-and-Ride in the northwest quadrant of 1-35E and CSAH 14 J o • McDonald's restaurant and Main Street Shoppes east of 1-35E on CSAH 14 0- a • NorthPointe residential development north of Birch Street between 1-35E and CSAH 54 W Z o Watermark residential development west of 1-35E, north of CSAH 14 o Clearwater Creek commercial development west of 1-35E and south of CSAH 14 on 21 st Avenue 0 co W Since the 2020 update, the following developments have occurred: 7) • 7107 Otter Lake Rd multi-tenant development north of CSAH 14 on Otter Lake Road U) • Culver's development north of CSAH 14 on Otter Lake Road W • Tidal Wave Auto Spa development north of CSAH 14 on Otter Lake Road z • Kwik Trip gas station development west of 21 st Avenue on CSAH 14 > 0 NorBella Senior Living development west of 21 st Avenue on Michaud Way a New Horizon Academy development west of 24 th Avenue on Rosemary Wa a Y p Y Y Z .

The revised Scenario 3 was considered the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Scenario and is now outdated and no longer applicable. Traffic Generation The original AUAR include traffic generation for the three land use scenarios using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) "Trip Generation Manual, Th Edition." The traffic generation was prepared for both the 2030 base year and the Post 2030 conditions. For comparison purposes,the Post 2030 conditions were used. Tables 1 — 3 shows the Post 2030 Traffic Generation from the original AUAR. For the 2020 AUAR Update, the traffic generation was updated based on the revised development scenarios. Traffic generation rates from the ITE Trip Generation Manual "Trip Generation Manual, 10h Edition" were used to determine the updated traffic forecasts. Table 4, Table 5, and Table 6 show the 2020 AUAR Update Scenario traffic generation.

M:\027919-000Wdmin\Docs\Traffic\MEMO-021425-Transportation_Scenario 3 removed.docx Page 100 of 240 Mr. Michael Grochala February 14, 2025 Page 5 The Traffic analysis focused on the operation of the primary roadways and their intersections during the peak travel periods(a.m.and p.m. peak hours),which is typically the time when the most severe traffic congestion is incurred. The results found that mitigation improvements would be required for each Scenario for the transportation system to operate at acceptable levels. Based on the analysis a Mitigation Plan was developed. Mitigation included adding new roadway connections, intersection control, turn lanes and widening roads as necessary as development occurs throughout the area. The improvements were intended to represent the minimum level of infrastructure investment that would be needed to meet acceptable level of service standards. Additional roadway and non-motorized improvements, beyond the minimum level, may be identified to accommodate specific development needs. As part of the 2020 Update, traffic forecasts were revised for 2040 and Post 2040 with the Cities "Draft 2040 Transportation Plan". The forecasts assumed a roadway network consistent with the AUAR mitigation improvements. Since the 2020 Update, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan has been finalized, and a few forecasts were slightly modified. Figure 1 shows the forecasted 2040 and Post 2040 (Full Build)Average Daily Traffic volumes with the future roadway network. Based on the comparison of the forecasted traffic generation from the AUAR area and the forecasted 2040 traffic volumes, the traffic analysis conducted, and Mitigation Plan recommended with the 2005 AUAR and the 2010, 2015, and 2020 updates remain valid for this AUAR Update.

AUAR updates are required every five years from the original date of the approved AUAR. Updates were prepared in 2010, 2015, and 2020. Each assumed no change in the proposed development land use scenarios and included discussion of mitigation improvements that had been completed at the time. Since the 2020 update, the City has adopted its 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This AUAR Update reviews two scenarios. The information and analysis outlined within this memo is intended to complete a portion of the AUAR Update related to Item #6—Climate Adaptation and Resilience related to revising of the two scenarios. This memo is intended to update the climate analysis provided in the original AUAR where applicable. CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCE Describe the climate trends in the general location of the project(see guidance: Climate Adaptation and Resilience) and how climate change is anticipated to affect that location duringthe life of the project "M:\027919-000\Admin\Docs\Climate\MEMO Climate 2025-02-24.docx" Page 107 of 240 Mr. Michael Grochala June 3, 2025 Page 2 For the general project location, trends in precipitation, temperature, flood risk, and cooling degree days have been analyzed and described below. Some of the climate projections summarized below use Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), which are greenhouse gas concentration scenarios used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.' Precipitation According to the Minnesota Climate Explorer, the historic average precipitation level in Anoka County between 2000 and 2024 was 31.04 inches with the lowest range in 2021 (21.94 inches) and the highest average in 2002 (41.01 inches).2 Average annual precipitation in Anoka County from 2040-2059 is projected to be 32.79 inches under RCP 4.5. From 2080-2099, average annual precipitation is projected to be 33.62 inches under RCP 4.5 and 35.87 inches under RCP 8.5. Temperature According to the Minnesota Climate Explorer, the historic average temperature in Anoka County between 2000 and 2024 was approximately 45.14°F with the lowest average in 2014 (40.93°F)and the highest average in 2012 (48.39°F). The average annual temperature in Anoka County is projected to increase to 48.42°F from 2040 to 2059 under RCP 4.5 (intermediate emissions pathway). In 2080-2099, average annual temperature is projected to further increase to 50.84°F and 54.58°F under RCP 4.5 and 8.5 (high emissions pathway), respectively. Urban Heat Island Surfaces and structures such as roads, parking lots, and buildings absorb and re-emit more heat from the sun than natural landscapes. This can significantly raise air temperature and overall extreme heat vulnerability in urban areas where there are dense concentrations of these surfaces. This is referred to as urban heat island effect. According to the Metropolitan Council's Extreme Heat Map Tool, the AUAR study area is located in an area of medium heat vulnerability in the less developed areas and high heat vulnerability in areas with more development.3 Flood Risk Climate change can exacerbate the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events and associated flooding in some locations. According to the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, a tool that identifies current effective flood hazard data, the majority of the study area has a RCP 4.5 is an intermediate scenario in which emissions decline after peaking around 2040,and RCP 8.5 is a worst-case scenario in which emissions continue to rise through the 21st century.Climate Explorer Metadata available at: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/climate-explorer-metadata.htm1 2 Available at: https://arcgis.dnr.state.mn.us/climateexplorer/main/historical 'Available at: https://metrocouncii.org/Communities/Planning/Local-Planning-Assistance/CVA/Tools-Resources.aspx "M:\027919-000\Admin\Docs\Climate\MEMO Climate 2025-02-24.docx" Page 108 of 240 Mr. Michael Grochala June 3, 2025 Page 3 minimal risk of flooding despite increases in extreme rainfall events.4 However, special flood hazard areas were identified near water bodies and waterways where flooding has an increased chance of occurring. Development within special flood hazard areas is required to follow FEMA permitting requirements. Cooling Degree Days Degree days are based on the assumption that when the outside temperature is 65°F, heating or cooling is not needed to be comfortable, as defined by the National Weather Service. Degree days are the difference between the daily temperature mean and 65°F. If the temperature is above 65°F, 65 is subtracted from the mean and the result is the cooling degree days. For example, if the mean temperature over a 24-hour period is 70°F, then there have been 5 cooling degree days.5 Cooling degree days are used as a proxy to estimate cooling needs for buildings. According to Heat Vulnerability in Minnesota, the number of cooling days in 2019 for Anoka County was 379. The number of cooling days in 2050 for Anoka County is projected to be 453 and 598 for RCP 4.5 and 8.5, respectively.6 'Available at: Flood Data Viewers and Geospatial Data I FEMA.gov 'Available at: https://www.weather.gov/key/climate heat cool 6 Available at: https://maps.umn.edu/climatehealthtool/heat app/ "M:\027919-000\Admin\Docs\Climate\MEMO Climate 2025-02-24.docx" Page 109 of 240 Mr. Michael Grochala June 3, 2025 Page 4 For each Resource Category in the table below.Describe how the project's proposed activities and how the project's design will interact with those climate trends.

Threatened and Endangered Species The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered,proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical habitat,that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and may be affected by your proposed project.The species list fulfills the requirement for obtaining a Technical Assistance Letter from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under section 7(c)of the Endangered Species Act (Act)of 1973,as amended(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e)of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act,the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days.The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information.An updated list may be requested through the IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. Consultation Technical Assistance Please refer to refer to our Section 7 website for guidance and technical assistance,including step-by-step instructions for making effects determinations for each species that might be present and for specific guidance on the following types of projects:projects in developed areas,HUD,CDBG,EDA,USDA Rural Development projects,pipelines,buried utilities,telecommunications, and requests for a Conditional Letter of Map Revision(CLOMR)from FEMA. Page 120 of 240 Project code: 2025-0075798 03/28/2025 18:21:18 UTC We recommend running the project(if it qualifies)through our Minnesota-Wisconsin Federal Endangered Species Determination Key(Minnesota-Wisconsin("D-key")).A demonstration video showing how-to access and use the determination key is available.Please note that the Minnesota-Wisconsin D-key is the third option of 3 available d-keys. D-keys are tools to help Federal agencies and other project proponents determine if their proposed action has the potential to adversely affect federally listed species and designated critical habitat.The Minnesota-Wisconsin D-key includes a structured set of questions that assists a project proponent in determining whether a proposed project qualifies for a certain predetermined consultation outcome for all federally listed species found in Minnesota and Wisconsin(except for the northern long-eared bat-see below), which includes determinations of"no effect"or"may affect, not likely to adversely affect." In each case,the Service has compiled and analyzed the best available information on the species'biology and the impacts of certain activities to support these determinations. If your completed d-key output letter shows a"No Effect" (NE)determination for all listed species,print your IPaC output letter for your files to document your compliance with the Endangered Species Act. For Federal projects with a"Not Likely to Adversely Affect"(NLAA)determination, our concurrence becomes valid if you do not hear otherwise from us after a 30-day review period, as indicated in your letter. If your d-key output letter indicates additional coordination with the Minnesota-Wisconsin Ecological Services Field Office is necessary(i.e.,you get a"May Affect"determination),you will be provided additional guidance on contacting the Service to continue ESA coordination outside of the key; ESA compliance cannot be concluded using the key for"May Affect"determinations unless otherwise indicated in your output letter. Note: Once you obtain your official species list,you are not required to continue in IPaC with d-keys, although in most cases these tools should expedite your review.If you choose to make an effects determination on your own,you may do so. If the project is a Federal Action,you may want to review our section 7 step-by-step instructions before making your determinations. Using the IPaC Official Species List to Make No Effect and May Affect Determinations for Listed Species 1. If IPaC returns a result of"There are no listed species found within the vicinity of the project,"then project proponents can conclude the proposed activities will have no effect on any federally listed species under Service jurisdiction. Concurrence from the Service is not required for no effect determinations.No further consultation or coordination is required.Attach this letter to the dated IPaC species list report for your records. 2. If IPaC returns one or more federally listed,proposed,or candidate species as potentially present in the action area of the proposed project—other than bats(see below)—then project proponents must determine if proposed activities will have no effect on or may affect those species.For assistance in determining if suitable habitat for listed, candidate,or proposed species occurs within your project area or if species may be affected by project activities,you can obtain Life History Information for Listed and Candidate Species on our office website. If no impacts will occur to a species on the IPaC species list(e.g.,there is no habitat present in the project area),the appropriate determination is no effect.No further consultation or coordination is required.Attach this letter to the dated IPaC species list report for your records. 2of19 Page 121 of 240 Project code: 2025-0075798 03/28/2025 18:21:18 UTC 3. Should you determine that project activities may affect any federally listed,please contact our office for further coordination. Letters with requests for consultation or correspondence about your project should include the Consultation Tracking Number in the header. Electronic submission is preferred. Northern Long-Eared Bats Northern long-eared bats occur throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin and the information below may help in determining if your project may affect these species. Suitable summer habitat for northern long-eared bats consists of a wide variety of forested/wooded habitats where they roost,forage, and travel and may also include some adjacent and interspersed non-forested habitats such as emergent wetlands and adjacent edges of agricultural fields,old fields and pastures.This includes forests and woodlots containing potential roosts(i.e.,live trees and/or snags>_3 inches dbh for northern long- eared bat that have exfoliating bark, cracks,crevices,and/or hollows), as well as linear features such as fencerows,riparian forests, and other wooded corridors.These wooded areas may be dense or loose aggregates of trees with variable amounts of canopy closure. Individual trees may be considered suitable habitat when they exhibit the characteristics of a potential roost tree and are located within 1,000 feet(305 meters)of forested/wooded habitat.Northern long-eared bats have also been observed roosting in human-made structures, such as buildings,barns,bridges,and bat houses;therefore,these structures should also be considered potential summer habitat and evaluated for use by bats.If your project will impact caves or mines or will involve clearing forest or woodland habitat containing suitable roosting habitat,northern long-eared bats could be affected. For bat activity dates,please review Appendix L in the Range-wide Indiana Bat and Northern Long- Eared Bat Survey Guidelines. Examples of unsuitable habitat include: ■ Individual trees that are greater than 1,000 feet from forested or wooded areas, ■ Trees found in highly developed urban areas(e.g., street trees, downtown areas), ■ A pure stand of less than 3-inch dbh trees that are not mixed with larger trees, and ■ A monoculture stand of shrubby vegetation with no potential roost trees. If IPaC returns a result that northern long-eared bats are potentially present in the action area of the proposed project,project proponents can conclude the proposed activities may affect this species IF one or more of the following activities are proposed: ■ Clearing or disturbing suitable roosting habitat, as defined above, at any time of year, ■ Any activity in or near the entrance to a cave or mine, ■ Mining, deep excavation, or underground work within 0.25 miles of a cave or mine, ■ Construction of one or more wind turbines, or ■ Demolition or reconstruction of human-made structures that are known to be used by bats based on observations of roosting bats,bats emerging at dusk, or guano deposits or stains. If none of the above activities are proposed,project proponents can conclude the proposed activities will have no effect on the northern long-eared bat. Concurrence from the Service is not required for No Effect determinations.No further consultation or coordination is required.Attach this letter to the dated IPaC 3of19 Page 122 of 240 Project code: 2025-0075798 03/28/2025 18:21:18 UTC species list report for your records. If any of the above activities are proposed, and the northern long-eared bat appears on the user's species list, the federal project user will be directed to either the northern long-eared bat and tricolored bat range-wide D- key or the Federal Highways Administration,Federal Railways Administration, and Federal Transit Administration Indiana bat/Northern long-eared bat D-key, depending on the type of project and federal agency involvement. Similar to the Minnesota-Wisconsin D-key,these d-keys helps to determine if prohibited take might occur and,if not,will generate an automated verification letter.Additional information about available tools can be found on the Service's northern long-eared bat website. Whooping Crane Whooping crane is designated as a non-essential experimental population in Wisconsin and consultation under Section 7(a)(2)of the Endangered Species Act is only required if project activities will occur within a National Wildlife Refuge or National Park. If project activities are proposed on lands outside of a National Wildlife Refuge or National Park,then you are not required to consult.For additional information on this designation and consultation requirements,please review"Establishment of a Nonessential Experimental Population of Whooping Cranes in the Eastern United States." Other Trust Resources and Activities Bald and Golden Eagles-Although the bald eagle has been removed from the endangered species list,this species and the golden eagle are protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to survey the area for any migratory bird nests. If there is an eagle nest on-site while work is on-going, eagles may be disturbed.We recommend avoiding and minimizing disturbance to eagles whenever practicable.If you cannot avoid eagle disturbance,you may seek a permit.A nest take permit is always required for removal,relocation, or obstruction of an eagle nest.For communication and wind energy projects,please refer to additional guidelines below. Migratory Birds-The Migratory Bird Treaty Act(MBTA)prohibits the taking,killing,possession, transportation, and importation of migratory birds,their eggs,parts, and nests, except when specifically authorized by the Service.The Service has the responsibility under the MBTA to proactively prevent the mortality of migratory birds whenever possible and we encourage implementation of recommendations that minimize potential impacts to migratory birds. Such measures include clearing forested habitat outside the nesting season(generally March 1 to August 31)or conducting nest surveys prior to clearing to avoid injury to eggs or nestlings. Communication Towers-Construction of new communications towers(including radio,television, cellular, and microwave)creates a potentially significant impact on migratory birds, especially some 350 species of night-migrating birds. However,the Service has developed voluntaryguidelines for minimizing impacts. Transmission Lines-Migratory birds,especially large species with long wingspans,heavy bodies, and poor maneuverability can also collide with power lines. In addition,mortality can occur when birds,particularly hawks, eagles,kites,falcons,and owls, attempt to perch on uninsulated or unguarded power poles.To minimize these risks,please refer to guidelines developed by the Avian Power Line Interaction Committee and the Service. Implementation of these measures is especially important along sections of lines adjacent to wetlands or other areas that support large numbers of raptors and migratory birds. 4of19 Page 123 of 240 Project code: 2025-0075798 03/28/2025 18:21:18 UTC Wind Energy-To minimize impacts to migratory birds and bats,wind energy projects should follow the Service's Wind Energy Guidelines. In addition,please refer to the Service's Eagle Conservation Plan Guidance, which provides guidance for conserving bald and golden eagles in the course of siting, constructing, and operating wind energy facilities. State Department of Natural Resources Coordination While it is not required for your Federal section 7 consultation,please note that additional state endangered or threatened species may also have the potential to be impacted.

RE: Natural Heritage Review of the proposed 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update, T31N R22W Sections 1-3, 10-15, 23-26,T32N R22W Sections 34-36; Anoka County Dear Chaldelia Browne, For all correspondence regarding the Natural Heritage Review of this project please include the project ID MCE- 2025-00105 in the email subject line. As requested, the Minnesota Natural Heritage Information System has been reviewed to determine if the proposed project has the potential to impact any rare species or other significant natural features. Based on the project details provided with the request,the following rare features may be impacted by the proposed project: Ecologically Significant Areas • The Minnesota Biological Survey(MBS) has identified several Sites of Biodiversity Significance (MBS Sites)within the project boundary. Sites of Biodiversity Significance have varying levels of native biodiversity and are ranked based on the relative significance of this biodiversity at a statewide level. Factors taken into account during the ranking process include the number of rare species documented within the site,the quality of the native plant communities in the site, the size of the site, and the context of the site within the landscape. o Randeau Lake Wetland—High MBS Site—Sites ranked as High contain very good quality occurrences of the rarest species, high quality examples of the rare native plant communities, and/or important functional landscapes. o Peltier Lake Wetland and Rice Lake Wetland—Moderate MBS Sites—Sites ranked as Moderate contain occurrences of rare species and/or moderately disturbed native plant communities, and/or landscapes that have a strong potential for recovery. These MBS Sites contains several DNR Native Plant Communities (NPC). NPCs are given a rank that reflects the relative rarity and endangerment of the community type in Minnesota. Ranks range from critically imperiled(S1)to secure, common, widespread, and abundant(S5). NPCs with a rank of S1, S2, or S3 are considered rare within Minnesota. o FPs63a:Tamarack Swamp (Southern)—imperiled(S2) o MRn83: Northern Mixed Cattail Marsh—imperiled(S2) Page 144 of 240 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update MCE-2025-00105 Page 2 of 6 o FDs37: Southern Dry-Mesic Oak(Maple) Woodland—vulnerable to extirpation (S3) o MHs38c: Red Oak-Sugar Maple- Basswood - (Bitternut Hickory) Forest—vulnerable to extirpation (S3) o FPn73a: Alder- (Maple- Loosestrife)Swamp—secure and abundant(S5) o WMn82a: Willow- Dogwood Shrub Swamp—secure and abundant(S5) The DNR recommends that the project be designed to avoid impacts to these ecologically significant areas. Actions to avoid or minimize disturbance include, but are not limited to,the following recommendations: o As much as possible, operate within already-disturbed areas. o Avoid MBS Sites and rare NPCs (ranked S1, S2, or S3). o Retain a buffer between proposed activities and the MBS Site. o Conduct surveys to better document resource impact and designate areas to avoid. o Minimize vehicular disturbance in the MBS Site (allow only vehicles/equipment necessary for construction activities). o Do not park equipment or stockpile supplies in the MBS Site. o Do not place spoil in the MBS Site or other sensitive areas. o If possible, conduct the work under frozen ground conditions. o Use effective erosion prevention and sediment control measures. o Inspect and clean equipment prior to operation and follow recommendations to prevent the spread of invasive species. o Revegetate disturbed soil with native species suitable to the local habitat as soon after construction as possible. o Use only weed-free mulches, topsoils, and seed mixes. Of particular concern are birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) and crown vetch (Coronilla varia), two invasive species that are sold commercially and are problematic in prairies and disturbed open areas. MBS Sites of Biodiversity Significance and DNR Native Plant Communities can be viewed using the Explore page in Minnesota Conservation Explorer(MCE) or their GIS shapefiles can be downloaded from the MN Geospatial Commons. Reference the MBS Site Biodiversity Significance and Native Plant Community websites for information on interpreting the data.To receive a list of MBS Sites of Biodiversity Significance and DNR Native Plant Communities in the vicinity of your project, create a Conservation Planning Report using the Explore page in MCE. • If the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) is applicable to this project, please note that native plant communities with a Conservation Status Rank of S1 through S3 or wetlands within High or Outstanding MBS Sites of Biodiversity Significance may qualify as Rare Natural Communities (RNC) under WCA. Minnesota Rules, part 8420.0515, subpart 3 states that a wetland replacement plan for activities that modify a RNC must be denied if the local government unit determines the proposed activities will permanently adversely affect the RNC. If the proposed project includes a wetland replacement plan under WCA, please contact your DNR Regional Ecologist for further evaluation. Please visit WCA Program Guidance and Information for additional information, including the RNC Technical Guidance. Page 145 of 240 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update MCE-2025-00105 Page 3 of 6 State-listed Species • Butternut (Juglans cinerea), a state-listed endangered tree species, have been documented within the proposed project area.This species occurs in mesic hardwood forests with loamy or alluvial soils or in sandy soil if the water table is relatively near the surface. It is perhaps most common on river terraces elevated several feet or more above the active floodplain, where it is protected from siltation and flood scouring.This species is susceptible to a lethal fungal disease called butternut canker(Sirococcus clavigignenti juglandacearum). Nearly all of Minnesota's butternuts are dead or dying from the fungus, triggering the protected status of this tree within the state. Minnesota's Endangered Species Statute (Minnesota Statutes, section 84.0895) and associated Rules (Minnesota Rules, part 6212.1800 to 6212.2300 and 6134) prohibit the take of endangered or threatened plants or animals, including their parts or seeds, without a permit.As this species has been documented in the proposed project area, a qualified surveyor will need to(1) resurvey known occurrences and (2)conduct a habitat assessment to determine if suitable habitat exists within the activity impact area and, if so,conduct a rare plant survey of any trees in the proposed project area that are proposed to be removed. Surveys must be conducted by a qualified surveyor and follow the standards contained in the Rare Species Survey Process and Rare Plant Guidance.Visit the Natural Heritage Review page for a list of certified surveyors and more information on this process. Survey proposals should be submitted to Reports.NH IS@state.mn.us prior to initiating survey work. Project planning should take into account that any botanical survey needs to be conducted during the appropriate time of the year, which may be limited. Please consult Review.NHIS@state.mn.us if you have any questions regarding this process. • Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii), a state-listed threatened species, have been documented in the direct vicinity of the proposed project. Blanding's turtles use upland areas up to and over a mile distant from wetlands, waterbodies, and watercourses. Uplands are used for nesting, basking, periods of dormancy, and traveling between wetlands. Factors believed to contribute to the decline of this species include collisions with vehicles, wetland drainage and degradation, and the development of upland habitat.Any added mortality can be detrimental to populations of Blanding's turtles, as these turtles have a low reproduction rate that depends upon a high survival rate to maintain population levels. Development in this area has the potential to impact this rare turtle through direct fatalities and habitat disturbance/destruction. Minnesota's Endangered Species Statute (Minnesota Statutes, section 84.0895) and associated Rules (Minnesota Rules, part 6212.1800 to 6212.2300 and 6134) prohibit the take of threatened or endangered species without a permit. Given that project details are unknown at this time and the presence of Blanding's turtles and suitable habitat in the project area, we are unable to provide specific avoidance measures at this time. Individual projects should request a Natural Heritage Review via Minnesota Conservation Explorer to ensure compliance with Minnesota Endangered Species Statute and Rules. Below are some resources to help plan avoidance for projects within the AUAR: o Blanding's Turtle Fact Sheet (state.mn.us) o Blanding's Turtle Flyer(state.mn.us) o Emydoidea blandingii : Blanding's Turtle I Rare Species Guide I Minnesota DNR(state.mn.us) Page 146 of 240 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update MCE-2025-00105 Page 4 of 6 o Wildlife Friendly Erosion Control (state.mn.us) o Helping Turtles Across the Road I Minnesota DNR (state.mn.us) o Best Practices Manual I Minnesota DNR ■ Chapter 1: Species Protection • Water-willow (Decodon verticillatus), a state-listed plant species of special concern, has been documented within the project area. In Minnesota water-willow appears to be restricted to boggy or marshy margins of lakes and slow-moving streams. It is typically found in a narrow fringe of shoreline vegetation with cattails or bulrushes.These vegetation zones may be on floating root mats or "grounded" in peat, muck,or sand.The DNR recommends avoiding known occurrences of water- willow and avoiding impacts to suitable habitat. • Forster's tern (Sterna forsteri) and trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator), state-listed bird species of special concern, have been documented nesting in the vicinity of the proposed project.These rare birds are found in wetlands with a mixture of emergent vegetation and open water. Potential concerns include construction disturbance during the breeding season, loss or degradation of habitat, and collisions overhead transmission lines. Actions to minimize impacts to these rare birds may include, but are not limited to,the following recommendations: o Avoid construction activities during the nesting season,from late April through August, near suitable nesting habitat. o Retain a buffer between proposed activities and suitable habitat to avoid negative impacts such as human disturbance, water level fluctuation, chemical contamination. o Install bird diverters on overhead lines, if any, near lakes and rivers, or other areas that may attract large concentrations of waterfowl. • Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii), a state-listed bird species of special concern, has been documented in the vicinity of the project. In Minnesota, Bell's vireo prefers shrub thickets within or bordering open habitats such as grasslands or wetlands.This bird suspends its nests from forks of low branches of small trees or shrubs. If feasible, avoid tree and shrub removal from May 15 through August 15 to avoid disturbance of nesting birds. • The Natural Heritage Information System (NHIS)tracks bat roost trees and hibernacula plus some acoustic data, but this information is not exhaustive. Even if there are no bat records listed nearby, all of Minnesota's bats, including the federally endangered northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), can be found throughout Minnesota. During the active season (approximately April-November) bats roost underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead trees.Tree removal can negatively impact bats by destroying roosting habitat, especially during the pup rearing season when females are forming maternity roosting colonies and the pups cannot yet fly.To minimize these impacts,the DNR recommends that tree removal be avoided from June 1 through August 15. • Please visit the DNR Rare Species Guide for more information on the habitat use of these species and recommended measures to avoid or minimize impacts. • Please report incidental sightings of state-listed species via the DNR Plant and Animal Observation Form. Page 147 of 240 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update MCE-2025-00105 Page 5 of 6 Federally Protected Species • The area of interest overlaps with a U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Rusty Patched Bumble Bee High Potential Zone.The rusty patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) is federally listed as endangered and is likely to be present in suitable habitat within High Potential Zones. From April through October this species uses underground nests in upland grasslands, shrublands, and forest edges, and forages where nectar and pollen are available. From October through April the species overwinters under tree litter in upland forests and woodlands.The rusty patched bumble bee may be impacted by a variety of land management activities including, but not limited to, prescribed fire,tree- removal, haying, grazing, herbicide use, pesticide use, land-clearing, soil disturbance or compaction, or use of non-native bees. If applicable,the DNR recommends reseeding disturbed soils with native species of grasses and forbs using BWSR Seed Mixes or MnDOT Seed Mixes. To ensure compliance with federal law, please conduct a federal regulatory review using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's online Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC)tool. Please note that all projects, regardless of whether there is a federal nexus, are subject to federal take prohibitions.The IPaC review will determine if prohibited take is likely to occur and, if not, will generate an automated letter.The USFWS RPBB guidance provides guidance on avoiding impacts to rusty patched bumble bee and a key for determining if actions are likely to affect the species;the determination key can be found in the appendix. Environmental Review and Permitting • Please include a copy of this letter and the MCE-generated Final Project Report in any state or local license or permit application. Please note that measures to avoid or minimize disturbance to the above rare features may be included as restrictions or conditions in any required permits or licenses. • Given the potential presence of state protected species, we encourage submission of Natural Heritage Review requests to ensure avoidance of take for these species and to determine survey needs as individual projects are planned. • The Environmental Assessment Worksheet should address whether the proposed project has the potential to adversely affect the above rare features and, if so, it should identify specific measures that will be taken to avoid or minimize disturbance. Sufficient information should be provided so the DNR can determine whether a permit to take will be needed for any of the above protected species. The Natural Heritage Information System (NHIS), a collection of databases that contains information about Minnesota's rare natural features, is maintained by the Division of Ecological and Water Resources, Department of Natural Resources.The NHIS is continually updated as new information becomes available and is the most complete source of data on Minnesota's native plant communities, rare species, and other rare features. However, the NHIS is not an exhaustive inventory and does not contain the locations of all rare features in the state.Therefore, ecologically significant features for which we have no records may exist within the project area. If additional information becomes available regarding rare features in the vicinity of the project,further review may be necessary. Page 148 of 240 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update MCE-2025-00105 Page 6 of 6 For environmental review purposes,the results of this Natural Heritage Review are valid for one year; the results are only valid for the project location and project description provided with the request. If project details change or the project has not occurred within one year, please resubmit the project for review within one year of initiating project activities. Resubmit by selecting Clone Project as Draft on the project page in MCE. The Natural Heritage Review does not constitute project approval by the Department of Natural Resources.

The AUAR analyzed the stormwater impacts of the three development scenarios. Based on the analysis, a Mitigation Plan was developed. AUAR updates are required every five years from the original date of the approved AUAR. Updates were prepared in 2010, 2015, and 2020. Each assumed no change in the proposed development land use scenarios and included discussion of mitigation improvements that had been completed at the time. Since the 2020 update, the City has adopted its 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This AUAR Update reviews two scenarios. The information and analysis outlined within this memo is intended to complete a portion of the AUAR Update related to Item # 17.a. and 17.b. —Greenhouse Gas Emission/Carbon Footprint related to revising of the two scenarios. This memo is intended to update the climate analysis provided in the original AUAR where applicable. GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) EMISSION/CARBON FOOTPRINT GHG Quantification:For all proposed projects, provide quantification and discussion of project GHG emissions. Include additional rows in the tables as necessary to provide project-specific emission sources. Describe the methods used to quantify emissions. If calculation methods are not readily available to quantify GHG emissions for a source, describe the process used to come to that conclusion and any GHG emission sources not included in the total calculation. Analyses for GHG emissions for the study area under existing conditions, Scenario 1, and Scenario 2 were prepared; each is shown in Appendix A. Project-specific emission sources and references to the methods used to quantify emissions are included within the calculation tables in the appendix. GHG Assessment i. Describe any mitigation considered to reduce the project's GHG emissions. During this phase in site planning, plans are concept-level; exploration and development of potential mitigation practices is dependent on further development planning and design. Proposed land use change scenarios increase housing density and availability of shops and live-work units. The existing 35 E Park and Ride within the area can accommodate increased density and encourage non-vehicle travel which would reduce M:\027919-000\Admin\Docs\Greenhouse Gas\MEMO GHG 2025-02-24.docx Page 154 of 240 Mr. Michael Grochala April 28, 2025 Page 2 GHG emissions. The following are potential design strategies and sustainability measures that could be considered for the proposed development to reduce emissions: • Use energy efficient appliances, equipment, and lighting, • Energy efficient building shells, • Implement waste best management practices; recycle and compost appropriate material when applicable, • On-site native landscaping to reduce potable water and pesticide use, along with the inclusion of trees and tree trenches to improve local air quality, absorb greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce local urban heat island effect, • Provide on-site electric vehicle charging infrastructure, • On-site solar PV installations, • Purchase of off-site carbon sequestration credits, • Grid-based wind and solar power purchases, • Other actions Implementation of the above strategies will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on feasibility, schedule, code requirements, and tenant considerations. ii. Describe and quantify reductions from selected mitigation, if proposed to reduce the project's GHG emissions. Explain why the selected mitigation was preferred. This level of detail is not known due to the high-level nature of this analysis and uncertainty of any specific future development. Both Scenarios 1 and 2 significantly increase density of all uses. Table 1 shows a summary of proposed land use changes.

Compared to existing uses, Scenario 1 proposes a 3,124-unit increase to residential units in the project area (3,748,800 sq ft increase) and Scenario 2 proposes a 5,639-unit increase (6,766,800 sq ft increase). It is understood that mixed-use zones (allowing retail and commercial establishments near housing)allow people to drive less and thus emit less greenhouse gases. Reductions from other potential voluntary mitigation measures could also contribute to reducing overall GHG emissions. In addition to these proposed mitigation efforts, the project may consider additional strategies as it continues to move through the design process. M:\027919-000\Admin\Docs\Greenhouse Gas\MEMO GHG 2025-02-24.docx Page 155 of 240 Mr. Michael Grochala April 28, 2025 Page 3 In both Scenarios, increasing residential density may improve ridership and service among the transit route that serve this area. Additionally, in each Scenario, it is assumed that improved trail and sidewalk connections to the surrounding network will be provided. Each Scenario's potential impact on transportation and reduction to single-occupancy vehicle travel is not accounted for in the emissions analysis above. Existing and proposed future sustainability or climate-related City/County programs and greenhouse gas reduction strategies were not explicitly incorporated within the modeling methods; however, incorporating greenhouse gas mitigation measures such as those mentioned above may further reduce greenhouse gas emissions beyond what is provided in the Scenario estimates. iii. Quantify the proposed projects predicted net lifetime GHG emissions (total tons per#of years) and how those predicted emissions may affect achievement of Minnesota Next Generation Energy Act goals and/or other more stringent state or local GHG reduction goals. Minnesota's Next Generation Energy Act requires the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the state by 80% between 2005 and 2050, while supporting clean energy, energy efficiency, and supplementing other renewable energy standards in Minnesota. Within the city's 2040 Comprehensive Plan, among the sustainable energy action items, it is identified that the city aims to: • Protect access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems on principal structures, • Encourage future sites and building plans to maximize efforts to design for efficient use of solar energy including such elements as the location of windows, shade trees (and types), windows, and driveways, • Use where possible solar energy design elements for future public facilities and infrastructure development, and • Encourage and support educational programs and research that focuses on alternative or renewable energy systems Methods for modeling air emissions were completed in accordance with EAW (Environmental Assessment Worksheet) standards. The expected Iifespan of the project is 50 years. The project's predicted net GHG emissions over the project's Iifespan (compared to existing conditions)are estimated at 184,790 CO2e metric tons per year for Scenario 1 or 213,938 CO2e metric tons per year for Scenario 2.

Given the sensitive nature of this information, this map cannot be included in the AUAR document, nor can it be made available to the public. If a development application falls within an area that is considered to have a high potential for archaeological sites, the City will require that the following steps and procedures involved in the identification and analysis of any archaeological sites is followed prior to development: ■ Conduct a Phase I archaeological survey within the area of potential effect(APE). The objective of the archaeological fieldwork is to determine if there are archaeological sites in the areas identified as having high potential for such and define the extent of those sites that may be impacted by development plans. ■ Conduct a Phase II archaeological survey. If archaeological resources are uncovered within the APE that may be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) a Phase II survey should be conducted. The objective of the investigation is to determine whether archaeological resources are eligible for listing on the NRHP. ■ Plan for avoidance or conduct Phase III data recovery. If a significant archaeological site is identified that will be impacted by development, avoidance is recommended. If this is not possible, then a data recovery of the site should occur. ■ If human remains are recovered at any time during archaeological investigation or development, all activities must stop, and consultation initiated with the Office of the State Archaeologist and Minnesota Indian Affairs Council. 14 Mitigation Plan Update—2025 June 16, 2025 Page 186 of 240 Item No. Mitigation Description Update 25.2 Consider preservation of agricultural heritage sites by implementing This mitigation measure is ongoing. thoughtful interpretive planning.

RE: City of Lino Lakes-Alternative Urban Areawide Review Update(AUAR)-1-35E Corridor Mitigation Measure 21.2 has been updated to Metropolitan Council Review File No.23075-1 note the need for coordination with Anoka Metropolitan Council District No.11 County regarding the alignment of this future Dear Michael Grochala: roadway. The County State Aid Highway 14 Metropolitan Council received the 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update on May 1,2025.The AUAR represents the 5-year Alternatives Analysis Report (2004) includes update required under environmental rules for a study area of approximately 4,670 acres located in the information about this alignment. When northeastern section of the City.Metropolitan Council staff completed Its review of the 1-35E Corridor AUAR Update to determine its accuracy and completeness in addressing regional concerns. Implemented, this improvement will also be Staff conclude that the AUAR Update is complete and accurate with respect to regional concerns but raises some subject to additional environmental review. major concerns about potential conformance issues with Council system plans and regional policies.

Mitigation measures added The AUAR Update raises a potential conformance issue with the 2018 Rice Creek Park Reserve Long- as Items 7.4 and 7.5. Range Plan."Figure 1 -Transportation*on pdf pg.49 of the submitted AUAR Update depicts a'Future Roadway'traversing a portion of Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve at the north end of Peltier Lake that is estimated to have between 16.000 and 35,000 Average Daily Trips(ADT)post-2040 full build.A future roadway in this location has the potential to significantly impact Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Fil Reserve and as a result,further analysis is warranted.Mitigation measures need to be outlined to prevent significant environmental impacts within this area prior to any future roadway development. The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve is owned and operated by Anoka County and has a Metropolitan Council-approved master plan that was originally developed in 1975 and revised in 1999 In 2003.2012.and 2013,the master plan was amended to adjust the boundaries of the park reserve to what is existing today-The 5,300-acre Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve is one of the largest in the seven-county metropolitan area and contains some of the most significant native wildlife habitat and water resources in the region.It Is also rich In cultural resources with several known significant archaeological sites within its boundary.As noted above,the AUAR preparer needs to outline potential impacts that warrant further analysis and they need to outline mitigation measures or procedures necessary to prevent significant environmental impacts within the area when actual development occurs,and coordinate with the regional park implementing agency.Anoka County. Metropolitan Council Staff offer the following additional comments for your consideration Item 6-Climate(Shawn James,651-602-1233) The discussion of anticipated climate trends is adequate.The project proposer should consider additional measures to mitigate the impacts of the identified climate trends.In addition to native plants,consider climate adapted vegetation to better withstand and mitigate the impacts of drought and large rain events Project designs should consider ways to reduce impervious surfaces to help mitigate urban heat Island effect and alleviate flooding.The project proposer should consider a chloride management plan to minimize the impact of increased freeze thaw cycles on water resources.

Building Requirements At the time of building permit, the lots will be reviewed for compliance regarding impervious surface, building footprint area, garage size, and design and construction standards. R-2 performance standards shall be met. Subdivision Ordinance Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code The preliminary plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for low density mixed residential development and zoning code requirements for R-2, Two Family Residential as discussed above. Blocks and Lots The preliminary plat contains 14 lots and 1 outlot. The outlot is for stormwater management. The outlot will be owned by an HOA and the stormwater pond will be maintained by the City. Streets and Alleys 4 Page 205 of 240 Osakis Street is a local road with 60 ft wide road right-of-way and 32ft wide paved road. It is an extension of the existing road within Watermark. A temporary cul de sac will be constructed on the north end. Sixty (60) ft of road right-of-way is being dedicated along CSAH 54 (20t" Avenue) as required. Easements Standard drainage and utility easements at least ten (10) feet wide have been provided along all other lot lines and stormwater management facility. Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Per the June 4, 2025 Engineering Memo, stormwater management for the Erickson Property site consists of a sedimentation basin to provide treatment. 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 7.36 15.00 32.57 Only needed if basins landlocked Currently 3.08 6.02 12.35 Only needed if Proposed basins landlocked Utilities An 8" watermain and 10" sanitary sewer will service the lots. Public Land Dedication The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication. At the July 7, 2025 Council Work Session, the Council requested all 14 lots pay park dedication fees. After consulting with the City Attorney, it was determined this would be reasonable since the existing house did not pay park dedication fees. The Council also requested the trail be constructed at this time by the developer. The developer shall provide a cost estimate for trail construction costs. These costs will be credited. Final park dedication fees will be determined at the time of final plat. 5 Page 206 of 240 Park Dedication Fees Total # of Lots = -1-3a 14 x 2025 Park Dedication Fee $3,500 Subtotal = $ 45,500 $49,000 Trail Construction Costs TBD = Total Due $TBD aThe existing lot/house will not be charged a park dedication fee; therefore, only 13 lots will be charged for park dedication fees 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 (20tn 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 Onto the existing trail. The City will instal! the trail at a future date. At the July 7, 2025 Council Work Session, the Council requested the trail be constructed at this time by the developer. 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 6 Page 207 of 240 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 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 20th 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 7 Page 208 of 240 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 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 8 Page 209 of 240 (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 Stormwater 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. 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 9 Page 210 of 240 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 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 (20t" 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 10 Page 211 of 240 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. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Erickson Property rezoning and preliminary plat with conditions as noted in the resolutions. ATTACHMENTS 1. Site Location & Aerial Map 2.

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: 1. 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. i. 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) 2. 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). 3. Stormwater improvements with plans for rainwater reuse irrigation. 4. 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). 5. 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 216 of 240 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: 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. 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.

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. Pre-and Post- Development Discharge Rates (cfs) Condition 2-Year 10-Year 100-Year 10-Day Snowmelt Existing 7.36 15.00 32.57 Only needed if basins landlocked Currently 3.08 6.02 12.35 Only needed if Proposed 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 Page 227 of 240 Ms.Katie Larsen 06/04/2025 Page 3 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 228 of 240 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.

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 231 of 240 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.

Rob Rafferty, Mayor ATTEST: Roberta Colotti, CIVIC City Clerk 2 Page 235 of 240 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. 1 Page 236 of 240 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 20th Avenue and 7598 20th Avenue will be opened to development with this resolution. 3. This process does not require a comprehensive plan amendment because it is in accordance with the timing indicated on the staging plan. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Lino Lakes, Minnesota that the two (2) lots addressed 7590 201h Avenue and 7598 20th Avenue are found to meet the criteria to open up the five-year phase within a staging area. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, FINDINGS OF FACT Per 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.

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. Erickson Property is consistent with the 2040 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; 2 Page 237 of 240 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. Erickson Property is consistent with infill policies. The development is within the current Utility Staging Area 1B=2025-2030. The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system is consistent with the normal costs projected by the water and sanitary system plans. 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; 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 1-35W/Lake Drive or 1-35E/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 3 Page 238 of 240 8. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination. Erickson Property meets the requirements for level of service (LOS).
