January 12, 2026: Resolution No. 26-04 approving PUD Amendment #3-Skilled Nursing Care Center o This amendment changed the 2-story skilled nursing care center to a 3-story skilled nursing care center with 61 units to be located at 6070 Blanchard Boulevard. ANALYSIS 2 History The original 21 acre Lyngblomsten site PUD Development Stage Plan (now called PUD Preliminary Plan) was approved in April 2019 with Resolution No. 19-42. It included townhomes on the north end, senior campus centrally located, and commercial development on the south end. The commercial development generally consisted of a restaurant, retail building, and possible fast-food restaurant. In January 2026, City Council approved PUD Amendment #3 changing the 2-story skilled nursing care center to a 3-story skilled nursing care center with 61 units. This project is temporarily on hold. In February 2026, EDAC and the Planning & Zoning Board had a very high-level discussions regarding the proposed PUD Amendment #4 mixed use building. There was general support for the project. Proposed PUD Preliminary Plan Amendment #4 PUD Amendment #4 proposes to change the 3-story restaurant and commercial development component to a 4-story mixed use building. The first floor would be commercial uses, and the other three floors would be 59 market-rate independent living units for residents age 55 and older. See attached Applicant’s Narrative for project details. The mixed use building and site will include: Surface parking lot o 138 surface parking spaces Underground parking o 70 parking spaces st 1 floor commercial o 5 retail bays o Restaurant o Daycare o Resident amenity center fitness center, pickleball court, community room, and additional gathering or wellness-oriented spaces that contribute to campus life and resident engagement th 2-4 floor residential o 59 market-rate independent living units for residents age 55 and older 15 one-bedroom 21 one-bedroom + den 18 two-bedroom 5 two-bedroom + den 3 Comprehensive Plan and Density The entire Lyngblomsten campus site is guided Signature Gateway. This land use allows residential at a density of 8.0 to 10.0 units per acre with 15 units per acre allowed if the project meets the City's housing goals. Goal #2 of the Comprehensive Plan-Housing Chapter is to enhance opportunities for senior housing. The proposed 55+ independent living units and life cycle housing meet this goal. 2021 PUD 2026 PUD Final PlanAmend #4 Gross Area (acres)21.0221.02 Wetlands & Water Bodies(0.28)(0.28) Public Parks & Open Space0.00 0.00 Arterial ROW(1.83)(1.83) Other (Utility Transmission Easement)0.00 0.00 Other (Wetland Buffer Area)(0.24)(0.24) Net Area (acres)18.6718.67 # of Units151*210* Gross Density (units/acre)7.189.99 Net Density (units/acre)8.0911.25 *Per Met Council, nursing home and memory care units are not considered housing units and do not count toward a community’s net residential density. The original PUD contained 151 housing units. The additional 59 independent living units brings the total housing unit count to 210. The overall net density is now 11.25 units per net acre which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning Ordinance No. 07-19 rezoned the entire Lyngblomsten campus site to PUD, Planned Unit Development to implement the Master Planning Study-Hodgson Road & CR J. Resolution No. 19-42 approving the PUD Preliminary Development Stage/Preliminary Plat establishes setback, building height, architectural standards etc. requirements. The Design Guidelines for Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes further detail these requirements. Per Ordinance No. 07-19, conditional use permits are required for the commercial day care facility and residential apartments accessory to permitted or conditional uses in the PUD. The findings of fact are detailed later in this report. 4 Master Planning Study-Hodgson Road & CR J The development of this property is guided by the Master Planning Study-Hodgson Road & CR J (“Master Plan”), which was approved by the City Council in 2007 with Resolution No. 07-21. The Master Plan anticipated a mix of residential and commercial uses on the site, specifically noting that the mixed use district “would allow for, though not mandate, the inclusion of residential units, possibly in multi-story buildings. This would provide customers for the commercial development, and the commercial services would be convenient to the residents.” The Master Plan notes the Hodgson/Co Rd J intersection is a gateway and appropriate elements are to be included in the development of the corners of this intersection. In June 2024, the City created the Lino Lakes Gateway Planning study. The study identified the Hodgson Road and County Road J intersection as a Primary Gateway. Per the study, “This primary gateway is an entrance into the city of Lino Lakes from the south, adjacent to the city of Shoreview. The roundabout island follows the design shown in “Roundabout Design - Typical”. One (1) “Monument Sign Type A” will be located in the NE quadrant of the intersection creating a gateway as users enter Lino Lakes on Hodgson Road.” See attached monument sign and location. See attached excerpt from Gateway Planning Study. The PUD Amendment #4 landscape plan shows a 1,000sf landscaped, outdoor area in the southeast corner of the site that could accommodate outdoor seating and amenities. The two (2) existing electrical transformer boxes and proposed grades limit the usable space; however, additional gateway elements shall be incorporated into the area. The original PUD Preliminary Plan/Preliminary Plat was found to be consistent with the Master Plan. The proposed PUD Amendment #4 is also consistent with the Master Plan. Design Guidelines The Master Plan also notes that design guidelines must be prepared for any new development project in the area. Design Guidelines for Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes were prepared as part of the original PUD Preliminary Plan and have been revised accordingly with the PUD Amendment #4. The guidelines in conjunction with Resolution No. 19-42 detail site plan, building and parking setbacks, gateway elements. Architectural standards, building heights, landscaping and signage requirements. The proposed PUD Amendment #4 is consistent with the design guidelines. Site & Building Plan Review Like the existing 4 story senior living campus building, the R-4, High Density Residential and Multiple-family dwelling general building and use provisions will be applied to the proposed mixed use building. 5 Resolution No. 19-42 approving the original PUD Preliminary Plan/Preliminary Plat established building and parking lot setbacks. These setback requirements have remained the same through PUD Amendments #1-3. This PUD Amendment #4 proposes to change the mixed-use building setback requirements. Currently, the commercial site is allowed a 10ft setback along Hodgson Road and Ash Street, but staff recommends changing this to 25ft to be consistent with the existing 4 story senior living campus building. Red text indicates a proposed change.

Restaurant and Commercial Development No building shall exceed a height of three (3) stories or thirty-six (36) feet, whichever is higher. PUD Amendment #4 proposes to change the 3-story restaurant and commercial development component to a 4-story mixed use building. The proposed mixed use building is similar in height to the existing 4-story independent living building.

The site plan shall be revised. Impervious Coverage The maximum allowed impervious surface coverage over the 21 acre site is 75%. Proposed impervious surface coverage is 48%. Impervious surface coverage requirements are met. Architecture The Lyngblomsten Design Guidelines detail the architectural standard requirements for the entire development. Exterior materials for the existing senior living campus building include hardie plank siding (evening blue, arctic white, and woodlook) and stone. The stone for the entire building is 35.3% which is greater than the minimum City Code 33% requirement. The proposed mixed use building uses similar four-sided architecture and building articulation. The same exterior materials are proposed except instead of evening blue, midnight black hardie plank siding is proposed to provide some variation between the buildings. The total stone is 33.1% which meets the minimum City Code 33% requirement. Architectural requirements are met. Parking Space Requirements The parking space requirements per net usable square footage where analyzed for each proposed use. 197 spaces are required and 205 are provided.

Lot 2, Block 2 was the proposed stand alone restaurant lot. Outlot C was the future commercial retail lot. No formal site and building plans were reviewed or approved for these parcels. The final plat was approved in July 2021. Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes Second Addition will combine these two (2) parcels into one (1) lot. The total lot area is 3.36 acres. The existing drainage and utility easement that runs between these two (2) parcels will also be vacated by City Council action and new easements will be dedicated on the final plat. A 10’ x 10’ triangle of road right-of-way shall be dedicated on the plat in the southeast corner of the lot to provide separation from the existing trail. A separate land use application for final plat shall be submitted after preliminary plat approval. Traffic Study Traffic impacts were analyzed with the original PUD Preliminary Plan for the entire 21 acre development. Ash Street / CR J / CR 1 and Hodgson Road / CR 49 intersection was reconstructed as a roundabout in 2024 that included turn lanes and access changes as noted earlier. The roadway reconstruction project was designed to accommodate long-term growth within the study area. A revised Traffic Study was prepared by Transportation Collaborative & Consultants, LLC dated March 6, 2026 that incorporated both the mixed use building (PUD Amendment #4) and 61 unit skilled nursing care center (PUD Amendment #3). The peak hours within the study area represent 7:15 to 8:15 a.m. and 4:15 to 5:15 p.m. The adjacent skilled nursing / assisted living development is estimated to generate 12 a.m. peak hour (7 in / 5 out), 15 p.m. peak hour (6 in / 9 out), and 254 daily (127 in / 127 out) trips. The proposed mixed-use development is estimated to generate 173 a.m. peak hour (91 in /82 out), 192 p.m. peak hour (97 in / 95 out), and 1,426 daily (713 in / 713 out) trips. Total daily trip generation is 1,680. Level of Service Level of Service (LOS) is used to describe the operating conditions of an intersection. Facilities are given letter designations from “A” (best operating conditions) to “F” (worst conditions). City Code Section 1001.013(2)(c), Premature Subdivision of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance establishes minimum Level Of Service (LOS) requirements. The ordinance states that if the LOS is A or B, the proposed subdivision shall not the degrade the LOS more than one grade. If the 9 LOS is C or D, it shall not degrade the LOS. Intersections with a LOS of E or F must be improved to ensure a LOS of D or better. Per the traffic study: The proposed Level of Service requirements do not fall more than one grade. The proposed subdivision meets the Level of Service requirements; therefore, it is not deemed premature. Landscaping Per the March 25, 2026 Environmental Board staff report: Open Areas Landscape Standards The purpose of these standards is to provide general site beautification and high aesthetic quality with a mix of plant materials in open areas. Open area landscape standards call for 1 large tree and 2 large shrubs per 2500 SF. The site has 33,995 SF of proposed open space. This equates to 14 trees and 28 shrubs being planted in addition to required boulevard trees. The developer is proposing an additional 6 large shrubs. Buffer and Screen Standards 10 Screening is required between a parking lot and public right of way, 30” screening is to be provided. Currently screening is proposed along Blanchard Boulevard and additional screening will be required adjacent to Lyngblomsten Drive. Canopy Cover Canopy cover is required to meet 40% of the vehicular hardscape. The site is proposing 54,375 SF of hardscape, requiring 23,450 SF of canopy coverage. Provided canopy coverage for the site is 24,650 SF, exceeding requirements. Foundation Landscaping Foundation landscaping standards require 2 large trees and 6 large shrubs per 100 LF of building front. The proposed building has 494 LF of frontage requiring 10 large trees and 30 large shrubs. The proposed landscape plan shows 10 large trees and 142 large shrubs, meeting requirements. Additional City and Government Agency Review Comments Anoka County Highway Department reviewed the plans and had no comments. Lino Lakes Police Department reviewed the plans and had no comments. Lino Lakes Fire Department received the plans and had no comments. City Engineer comments are provided in the attached memo. Environmental Coordinator comments are provided in the attached memo. The developer held a neighborhood meeting on March 24, 2026 and meeting minutes are attached. Findings of Fact Planned Unit Development Per City Code Section 1007.024: (2)The PUD, by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this ordinance related to setbacks, heights, lot area, width and depths, yards, etc., may be considered by the City when it would result in one or more of the following public benefits: (a)Implementation of a master plan consistent with the Planning District objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. PUD Amendment #4 continues to implement the Hodgson Road & CR J Master Plan. (b)Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of 11 economic expansion, greater variety in lot size, configuration, home type, design, enhanced architectural standards, and siting of structures through the conservation and more efficient use of land in such developments. PUD Amendment #4 does not change Lyngblomsten’s innovation in development. The mixed use building supports economic expansion and housing. (c)Preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as wildlife habitat, unique natural resources, existing vegetation, natural topography, geologic features and reduction of negative impacts on the environment. The existing wetland on site will not be impacted by PUD Amendment #4. (d)Creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other. PUD Amendment #4 continues to transition development from existing low density single family homes to cottage home to a senior living campus consisting of independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities to the mixed use building. (e)Efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering development costs and public investments. PUD Amendment #4 does not change the existing utility and street network. (f)Mix of land use types. PUD Amendment #4 and the mixed use building provide both commercial and residential development. (g)Provision of a housing type or target housing price that is desirable to the City. PUD Amendment #4 supports senior living housing options. (h) Other public benefits and values as recognized in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. PUD Amendment #4 supports life-cycle housing and diversifies the tax base.

Our comments were made on the following documents: Lyngblomsten – Preliminary PUD prepared by Bolton and Menk, dated March 9, 2026, 2025 The following review comments should be responded to in writing by the applicant. There are additional redline comments on the plan set that should be responded to as well. Not all redline comments are in the review memo. Engineering •General The Lyngblomsten Nursing Home is proposing a mixed-use (residential/commercial) building to their campus located north of between Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) and Blanchard Boulevard. The proposed building is a mixed-use structure with one lower-level parking level (approx. 29,800 SF), a commercial first floor (approx. 29,800 SF), and three upper residential floors (approx. 26,500 SF/ea). It proposes 59 independent living units as well as retail, restaurant, and daycare facilities on the first floor together with both an underground and outdoor parking areas as well as additional living amenities. Comments: 1.With the Final PUD plan, provide new building specific plan sheets (similar to the ‘preliminary plat sheet S0.1’ provided) that accurately depict the current topological information of the site as existing and clearly identify what grading/construction is proposed with the new building. 2.With the Final PUD plan, provide existing conditions plan sheet with removals/demolition required a.Identify adjacent existing utilities that will be utilized Ms. Katie Larsen 04/01/2026 Page 2 •Grading The Lyngblomsten Mixed Use addition includes limited site grading for the building outdoor parking area and blending into the streets and driveways. The lot was rough- graded with the grading of the overall campus. A grading plan meeting City requirements will need to be submitted as part of the preliminary and final plats. Comments: 1.With the Final PUD plan, provide new building addition specific grading plan sheet that accurately depicts the current topological information of the site as existing and clearly identify what grading/construction is proposed with the new building addition. 2.All grading will need to meet maximum 3:1 slope requirements •Stormwater Management Additional onsite treatment will not be required as the existing ponding areas were designed for drainage from this area. It is presumed that conveyance to these basins will be through an internal storm sewer system and overland swales. The system shall meet the City’s and RCWD Stormwater Management requirements. Comments: 1.With the Final PUD plan, provide s sub-surface drainage system design, similar to the other buildings on site •Water Supply/Sanitary Sewer A detailed utility plan for the Lyngblomsten Nursing Home Campus addition has not yet been proposed and will need to be submitted for preliminary plat by the applicant. There are 2 sets of existing 8” sanitary sewer and water stubs to the lot. The number of units and demand is within the anticipated capacity of the original campus design for the area and is supported with the existing infrastructure. Comments: 1.With the Final PUD plan, provide better clarify the current topological information of the site as existing and clearly identify what grading/construction is proposed with the new building addition. a.Show where extension of service stubs will connect to the building (mechanical room, etc.) b.Identify and detail all connections to existing utilities c.Label all water/utility fittings d.Label all pipe characteristics (length, size, material, material grade, slope, etc.) 2.Identify all utility crossings and provide the top and bottom of pipe elevations a. Vertical pipe separation should be a minimum 18” b. Insulate when separation between storm sewer and water is less than 36” 3.We recommend that the City Deputy Director of Public Safety-Fire Division review the proposed plan for water supply and hydrant coverage. Lyngblomsten Nursing Home – Skilled Nursing Addition - Engineering Review Ms. Katie Larsen 04/01/2026 Page 3 •Transportation Traffic from the addition is consistent to what was approved with the preliminary plat for the overall campus traffic study. Access to the parking area will be created with connections to Blanchard Boulevard on the west side and Lyngblomsted Drive on the north side. Underground parking with an entrance from the parking area at the southwest corner of the proposed building will be utilized as well. Trails and sidewalks Additional trails/ sidewalks are not proposed on the submitted Concept Plan as all required ones have already been installed with previous phases of the overall campus construction. Comments: 1.With the Final PUD plan, show impacts to existing sidewalks with construction. 2.Provide a sidewalk/trail connection from the parking area to the eastern trail/northeastern intersection (Hodgson Road) •Wetlands and Mitigation Plan No wetlands are proposed to be impacted with the proposed addition. •Landscaping A Landscape Plan for the Lyngblomsten Nursing Home Campus addition has not yet been submitted. One will need to be submitted and reviewed by staff and the City’s Environmental Coordinator. The Environmental Coordinator will provide separate comments. •Floodplain The submitted concept plan does not impact floodplain. •Drainage and Utility Easements All needed drainage and utility easements have been provided with the approved preliminary plat. Development Agreement A development agreement will be required with the final plat. Grading Agreement Grading agreement not required at this time. Lyngblomsten Nursing Home – Skilled Nursing Addition - Engineering Review Ms. Katie Larsen 04/01/2026 Page 4 •Stormwater Maintenance Agreement The stormwater maintenance for public facilities are already in place with the main building. •Permits Required Required permits will be determined at the time of preliminary plat submittal.

Lyngblomsten Nursing Home – Skilled Nursing Addition - Engineering Review Environmental Memo To:Katie Larsen, City Planner From:Tom Hoffman, Environmental CoordinatorTom Hoffman, Environmental Coordinator Date:April 1, 2026 Re: Environmental Comments – Lyngblomsten PUD Amendment 4 Environmental Board recommended the following at their March 25, 2026 meeting: 1. screening is required adjacent to parking lots to public right of way. Screening should be provided on the north side of the parking lot adjacent to Lyngblomsten Drive. 2.Provide tree protection fencing and detail in the plan set for existing boulevard trees to be protected during construction. 3.Update canopy coverage calculations. My calculations show 11 trees receiving 50% credit for an additional 1,200 SF. Potentially 1 tree is within 7- 12 and would receive 25 percent credit. 4.Recommend adding one additional tree along the Hodgson Road boulevard. Currently the proposal shows trees throughout the building breaking up the frontage. There is one gap of trees between the stairs and the restaurant that doesn’t seem to blend into the overall design. 5.Confirm irrigation reuse area and provide final calculations for reuse. 6.Recommend matching curb to the rest of the development. 7.The project will disturb more than an acre of soil and will be required to obtain an NPDES permit. Proof of permit shall 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. c.Inlet protection required on all existing catch basins.
