FINDINGS OF FACT
Per City Code Section 1007.016(3):
(e) The Planning and Zoning Board shall hold the public hearing and consider possible
adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. Its judgement shall be based upon, but not
limited to, the following factors:
1. The proposed development application has been found to be consistent with the
design standards listed in § 1007.020(4).
See below.
3. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed development is D, traffic generated by a
proposed development 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 proposed development. If the existing level of service is E or F, the 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 proposed development must
have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed development
or the developer will pay to correct any structural deficiencies.
6. The traffic generated from a proposed development shall not require city street
improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lal<es 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 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 Anol<a County and the Minnesota Dept. of Transportation, and a plan must be
prepared to determine improvements needed to resolve deficiencies. This plan must determine
traffic generated by the proposed development 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.
The traffic study for the three (3) lot Clearwater Commons commercial subdivision details
compliance with City requirements. The proposed automobile repair -minor is consistent with
the study.
The proposed automobile repair -minor meets Level of Service (LOS) requirements and is within
the capabilities of the City. The existing roads and intersections providing access to the proposed
development have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed
development. The traffic generated from a proposed development does not require City street
improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lakes Capital Improvement Plan.
(e) The proposed development shall be served with adequate and safe water supply.
The proposed automobile repair -minor will have an adequate and safe water supply.
(f) The proposed development shall be served with an adequate or safe sanitary sewer
system.
The proposed automobile repair -minor will be served with an adequate waste disposal system.
(g) The proposed development shall not result in the premature expenditures of city funds
on capital improvements necessary to accommodate the proposed development.
The proposed automobile repair -minor does not require City funds.
(h) Fire prevention and fighting equipment acceptable to the Board of Fire Underwriters
and City Council shall be readily available when any activity involving the handling or storage of
flammable or explosive materials is carried on.
The proposed automobile repair -minor will have fire prevention and fighting equipment readily
available.
