A.Peltier Ponds PUD Final Plan/Final Plat
Ms. Larsen presented the staff report.
The applicant, U.S. Home, LLC, submitted a land use application for Peltier Ponds PUD
Final Plan/Final Plat. The PUD Final Plan/Final Plat contains 31 single family lots and 88
townhomes units for a total of 119 housing units.
Mr. Laden had questions about the garage specifications that were spoken upon during
the preliminary plat. Ms. Larsen stated that the applicant did comply with the
requirements put forth by the board. Mr. Evenson suggested putting a minimum garage
size for the fourteen allotted homes with garage sizes under 520 square feet. The board
agreed that 20 feet by 22 feet would be the minimum size allowed.
The board has concerns about the lack of an H.O.A. for snow removal and lawn mowing,
limiting the space allowed for cars in the 55-foot lot garages.
Mr. Vojtech confirmed that there would be trees planted along the north lot line. Ms.
Larsen did confirm that trees would be planted but were not required.
Mr. Kohler wanted to confirm that the environmental coordinators’ comments were
addressed and would be part of the recommendations. Ms. Larsen stated that the
developer will have to address those environmental coordinators’ concerns.
Mr. Evenson motioned to approve the Peltier Ponds PUD Final Plan/Final Plat with staff
recommendations and the board recommendation of a minimum garage size of 20 by
22 feet (440 square feet). Motion was seconded by Mr. Kohler. Motion carried 7 – 0.
B.Wilkinson Waters Second Addition PUD Final Plan/Final Plat
Ms. Larsen presented the staff report.
The applicant, Anoka Holdings, LLC., submitted a land use application for Wilkinson
Waters Second Addition PUD Final Plan/Final Plat. The PUD Final Plan/Final Plat is for
the 20-unit, Phase 1B townhome development.
Mr. Vojtech wanted to know if the townhomes were always supposed to be rentals
owned by the developer. Ms. Larsen confirmed that there has always been a narrative
that some of the townhomes would be rentals and some would be available for
purchase, for this specific phase these townhomes would be rentals.

PUD Final Plan
The PUD Final Plan is for a specific stage or phase of the PUD Preliminary Plan. The
Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes Second Addition PUD Final Plan consists of a 4-story mixed use
building at the southeast corner of the site. The first floor will be commercial uses and resident
amenity center. The other three floors will be 59 market-rate independent living units for
residents aged 55 and older.
The 2007 Master Planning Study-Hodgson Road & CR J states 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. Per the 2024 Lino Lakes Gateway Planning study, a gateway monument sign
will be located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection creating a gateway as users enter
Lino Lakes on Hodgson Road.
Per Resolution No. 26-64 approving PUD Preliminary Plan/Preliminary Plat Amendment #4:
1.An outdoor plaza with seating opportunities and amenities shall be constructed in the
southeast corner of the site to enhance the gateway corridor.

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.

Lyngblomsten Nursing Home – Skilled Nursing Addition - Engineering Review
Environmental Memo
To:Katie Larsen, City Planner
From:Tom Hoffman, Environmental CoordinatorTom Hoffman, Environmental Coordinator
Date:June 24, 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.All landscaping should be removed from the Anoka County Right of Way
unless an agreement and documentation is provided with the county
approving the work.
8.The bench needs to move out of the ROW unless permitted by the County.
9.Tree species are required to be less than 30% of a genus to prevent
widespread disease and promote diversity. Currently 47% of the trees are
within the genus Acer. Add additional species to reduce the amount of
maples
10.Recommend planting so perennials or shrubs in front of the entrance to
provide screening of headlights as vehicles enter along with mitigating any
potential light shine from the existing home across the road.
11.
12.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.
