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.

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.
