MEMORANDUM
TO: Jeff Smyser
FROM: Alan Brixius
DATE: May 24, 2001
RE: Lino Lakes - Park and Trail Dedication
FILE NO: 194.02 - 01.03
BACKGROUND
At the May 23, 2001 City Council workshop, Council member Donna Carlson inquired how
the new per unit park dedication fee of $1,380 compared to current collections.
The current park dedication formula requires single family subdivisions to provide a 10
percent land dedication or 10 percent of the land value. This formula is shown below:
Cash
Average Land Average Density Contribution
Value (year 2001) (2.1 units per acrel Per Year
$28,000 X 10% = $2,800 T 2.1 = $1,333.00
The proposed park dedication of $1,380 is $47 higher than current collections. The
$1,380 was generated by assuming $2,614 per acre for commercial /industrial properties.
If the City Council wished to place a greater burden for park land dedication on residential
growth, an adjustment may be considered as follows.
This adjustment would serve two objectives: (1) The residential growth which stimulates
the greater park demand would carry more of the financial responsibility. (2) The lower
park charge on commercial /industrial lands will help in economic development efforts.

SECOND PARK DEDICATION FEE ALTERNATIVE
b1� 5y5 'Jd.5(
An alternative to the calculation in the May 22, 2001 report for commercial /industrial park
land dedication is as follows.
The May 22, 2001 report utilized the existing subdivision park dedication amount of $200
per 1,000 square feet of commercial and industrial floor space. This provided a
conservative estimate of park land dedication. The current Subdivision Ordinance,
however, offers two levels of park land dedication ($200 per 1,000 square feet of
manufacturing and $133 per 1,000 square feet of warehousing). See pages 172 and 173
of the Subdivision Ordinance. The City Council may wish to take the average of these
figures which would be $166.50 per 1,000 square feet of floor area. This average charge
per 1,000 square feet of floor area translates into the following per acre park dedication
charge:
1 acre (43,560 square feet) X 30% building coverage = 13,068 square feet
1,000 (current square foot standard) = 13.068 X $166.50 (average park
dedication charge) = $2,175 per acre.
If the City Council reduces the commercial /industrial park land fee from $2,614 to $2,175,
it can anticipate $2,827,500 will be generated. This dedication would reduce the burden
on residential property, as shown below:
Total Park and Trail System Costs $22,965,399
50% of the Total System Costs to be Paid
by Existing Development $11,482,700
50% of the Total System Costs to be Paid
by Future Development $11,482,700
Commercial /Industrial Portion $ 2,827,500
Residential Portion $ 8,655,200

CONCLUSION
The May 22, 2001 memorandum includes a new park land dedication ordinance and a
resolution for establishing park dedication fees. After the Council discussion at its May 23,
2001 workshop, we have offered a second option for the park land fees by resolution. If
the City Council feels that the residential properties should be more responsible for the
costs of park and trail development, this second option may be considered. Based on our
analysis of the park land standards, we are comfortable that both alternatives are
reasonable and enforceable.
We have attached a resolution outlining the second fee schedule for the park land
dedication for your consideration.

CITY OF LINO LAKES
ORDINANCE NO. 01-06
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1001 OF THE CITY CODE REGARDING
SUBDIVISION AND PLATTING TO MODIFY PARK DEDICATION
REQUIREMENTS.
The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota, does ordain as follows:
Section 1001.14 of the City Code is hereby amended to delete the existing provisions and add the
following requirements:
1001.14 Property Dedication.
Subdivision 1. A portion of any subdivision shall dedicate to the City a reasonable
portion of the proposed subdivision for public streets, roads, utility easements, water facilities,
storm water drainage and holding areas or ponds and other similar utilities and improvements.
Subdivison 2. As a prerequisite to any subdivision approval, and at the sole
determination by the City, applicants and/or developers shall dedicate land for parks,
playgrounds, public open spaces or trails and/or shall make a cash contribution to the City's park
dedication fund roughly related to the anticipated effect of the subdivision on the park and trail
system. The amounts listed in this Section are the City's best estimate of the dedication or cash
contribution needed to offset the effect of the subdivision on the park and trail system. The
requirement may also be met with a combination of land and cash if approved by the City
Council.
Subdivision 3. Land shall be reasonably suitable for its intended use and shall be
at a location convenient to the people to be served. Factors used in evaluating the adequacy of
proposed park and recreation areas shall include size, shape, topography, geology, hydrology,
tree cover, access and location, and future park needs pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan,
Wetlands, ponding areas, and drainage ways shall not be eligible for park dedication credit. Park
land to be dedicated shall be above the ordinary high water level. Grades exceeding twelve (12)
percent or areas unsuitable for park development shall not be considered for dedication. Land
with trash, junk, pollutants and/or unwanted structures is not acceptable.

Ordinance 01 -06, Park Dedication

Subdivison 4. The applicant shall confer with City Staff and the Park Board at the
time the preliminary plat is under consideration, to secure a recommendation as to the location of
any property that should be dedicated to the public, such as parks, playgrounds or other public
property. The preliminary plat shall show the location and dimensions of all areas to be
dedicated in this manner. Such contribution requirement recommendation(s) will be sent to the
Planning Commission for review and comment and subsequently to the City Council for their
approval.
Subdivision 5. When a proposed park, playground, recreation area or other public
ground has been indicated in the City's official map or Comprehensive Plan and is located in
whole or in part within a proposed plat, it shall be dedicated to the appropriate governmental
unit. If the applicant elects not to dedicate an area in excess of the land required hereunder for
such proposed public site, the City may consider acquiring the excess land through purchase or
condemnation.
Subdivision 6. Where private open space for park and recreation purposes is
provided in a proposed subdivision, such areas may be used for credit, at the discretion of the
City Council, against the land or cash dedication requirement for park and recreation purposes,
provided the City Council finds it is in the public interest to do so.
Subdivision 7. The City, upon consideration of the particular type of
development, may require that a lesser parcel of land should be dedicated due to particular
features of the development. In such cases, a cash contribution shall be required above the land
dedication to ensure that compensation is received for the full amount of the impact on the City's
park and trail system.
Subdivision 8. In all new residential, commercial and industrial subdivisions, ten
(10) percent of the area subdivided shall be dedicated for public recreation space or other public
use as established by City Council resolution. A different percentage may be applied as the City
Council shall determine to be reasonably necessary as a result of the subdivision approval. This
ten percent shall be calculated on the net area, which is the gross area of the subdivided property
minus the area in wetlands. The land dedicated for public recreation shall be in addition to
property dedicated for streets, alleys, easements, or other public ways. No areas may be
dedicated for public use until such areas have been approved by the City Council as suitable and
necessary for the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the City.
Subdivision 9. When a subdivision is proposed, the developer shall make a
dedication of land for public park and trail use, as provided for in Subdivision 8, of this Section,
or shall pay a fee in lieu of such land dedication as established by City Council resolution. Said
amount is the City's best estimate of the effect of the subdivision on the City's park system.

Ordinance 01 -06, Park Dedication
page 3
Subdivision 10. All and proposed for trail and/or bikeway dedication shall be
subject to the recommendations of the Park Board and approval of the City Council.
Subdivision 11. The City may elect at its sole discretion to receive a combination
of cash, land, and development of the land for park and/or trail use. Combined park land and
cash dedications shall be calculated based upon the following:
1. At the time of subdivision, a yield plan will be prepared demonstrating the total number
of units/lots possible within the development without a park. This figure is then
multiplied by the residential per unit park dedication charge (established by City Council
Resolution). The result of this calculation is equal to the total cash value of the park
dedication for the residential project. The formula is outlined as follows:
a. Buildable Acres (less wetlands, right -of -way, waterbodies etc.) x Average
Density = Number of Units/Lots.
b. Number of Units/Lots x Residential Unit Cash Charge = Total Cash Contribution
for the Subdivision.
• 2. Land Value Determination. The value of the land dedication is determined based upon
the following formula:
a. Total Land Dedication Acres x Land Value = Total Land Value
3. To determine the combined land and cash dedication requirement, the following formula
should be used:
a. Total Cash Contribution for Subdivision — Land Value for Park Land = Balance
of Cash Contribution.
Subdivision 12. Planned unit developments with mixed land uses shall make cash
and /or land contributions in accordance with this Section based upon the percentage of land
devoted to the various uses.
Subdivision 13. Park cash contributions are to be calculated and established
based on land value at time of final plat. Cash dedications shall be included in the development
agreement and paid prior to the City's signature of and release of the final plat. For subdivisions
that do not require a development agreement, the cash dedication shall be paid before the City
releases the signed approval of the subdivision for recording.

Subdivision 14. Cash contributions for parks and trails shall be deposited in
either the City's Park Fund or multi- purpose trail fund and shall only be used for park acquisition
or development, and trail acquisition or development as determined by the City.
Subdivision 15. Property being replatted with the same number of lots and same
number of dwelling units shall be exempt from all park land dedication requirements. If the
number of lots or the number of dwelling units is increased, or if land outside of the previously
recorded plat is added, then the park land dedication and/or park cash contributions shall be
based on the additional units/lots and on the additional land being added to the plat.
Subdivision 16, If the applicant or developer does not believe that the estimates
contained in this Section fairly and accurately represent the effect of the subdivision on the park
or trail system of the City, the applicant or developer may request that the City prepare an in-
depth study of the effect of the subdivision on the park and trail system an estimate of that effect
in money and/or land. All costs of such study shall be paid by the developer or applicant. If the
developer requests the preparation of such a study, no application for the development shall be
deemed complete until the study has been completed and a determination is made as to the
appropriate amount of land or money necessary to offset the effects of the subdivision.
II. Effective Date
This Ordinance shall be effective following its passage and publication as required by City
Charter.

MEETING DATE May 29, 2001
TOPIC Accept 2000 Audit Report
VOTE REQUIRED Simple Majority (3/5)
BACKGROUND
Darwin Viker of Larson, Allen, Weishair & Company will be in attendance at the meeting to
provide a brief overview of the City's financial statements and to answer any questions you may
have with regard to the financial condition of the City.
The 2000 annual audit was undertaken by the City's auditors, Larson, Allen, Weishair &
Company, LLP, earlier this year, with field work being completed in late March. The auditors
review all financial transactions and the financial reports of the City over the previous year for their
fairness in presentation and for full disclosure of all material aspects of the City's financial
condition. This review is conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and

DATE: 5/29/01
TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution 01 -73 calling for a Public
Hearing on a Business Subsidy Policy and authorizing
staff to draft a Business Subsidy Policy
Vote Required: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND:
The Minnesota Business Subsidy Law requires that any local government
agency with the power to grant a business subsidy must first establish a
Business Subsidy policy. This policy lists the criteria that will be used to
determine if a subsidy meets a public purpose. The criteria must also establish a
policy for wages on jobs created by the subsidies.
The term "business subsidy" can include a grant such as tax increment financing
or tax abatement, contribution of property or infrastructure, low- interest rate
loans, tax or fee deferrals, or any preferential use of government facilities given
to a business. Any public contribution in excess of $25,000 is considered a
subsidy.
A public hearing is required to take public comment before the adoption of the
policy. This resolution sets a hearing for 6:30 p.m. on July 23, 2001 and directs
staff to draft a Business Subsidy Policy for consideration.
OPTIONS:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 01 -73

AGENDA ITEM 3C
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Al Rolek
DATE: 5/29/01
TOPIC: Consideration of Authorizing Staff to draft a Tax
Abatement Policy
Vote Required: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND:
Tax Abatement is the ability of individual local taxing authorities (county, city or
school district) to return their proportional share of property taxes on all or a
portion of the property taxes on a parcel of property. Abatements were designed
by the state legislature to give each jurisdiction a voice in economic development
and redevelopment efforts.
An abatement can be either a tax rebate or a tax deferment. The maximum an
entity can abate is the greater of $100,000 per year or 5 percent of its levy.
A Tax Abatement Policy is required before abatement is used to specify the
criteria that will be used to determine if an abatement meets a public purpose.
This council action directs staff to draft a Tax Abatement Policy for council
consideration at the July 23, 2001 city council meeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jeff Smyser
FROM: Alan Brixius
DATE: May 24, 2001
RE: Lino Lakes - Park and Trail Dedication
FILE NO: 194.02 - 01.03
BACKGROUND
At the May 23, 2001 City Council workshop, Council member Donna Carlson inquired how
the new per unit park dedication fee of $1,380 compared to current collections.
The current park dedication formula requires single family subdivisions to provide a 10
percent land dedication or 10 percent of the land value. This formula is shown below:
Cash
Average Land Average Density Contribution
Value (year 2001) (2,1 units Baer acrel Per Year
$28,000 X 10% =
$2,800 T 2.1 = $1,333.00
The proposed park dedication of $1,380 is $47 higher than current collections. The
$1,380 was generated by assuming $2,614 per acre for commercial /industrial properties.
If the City Council wished to place a greater burden for park land dedication on residential
growth, an adjustment may be considered as follows.
This adjustment would serve two objectives: (1) The residential growth which stimulates
the greater park demand would carry more of the financial responsibility. (2) The lower
park charge on commercial /industrial lands will help in economic development efforts.
•
MAY -24 -2001 11:14 NAC
SECOND PARK DEDICATION FEE ALTERNATIVE
612 595 9837 P.03/13
An alternative to the calculation in the May 22, 2001 report for commercial/industrial park
land dedication is as follows.
The May 22, 2001 report utilized the existing subdivision park dedication amount of $200
per 1,000 square feet of commercial and industrial floor space. This provided a
conservative estimate of park land dedication. The current Subdivision Ordinance,
however, offers two levels of park and dedication ($200 per 1,000 square feet of
manufacturing and $133 per 1,000 square feet of warehousing). See pages 172 and 173
of the Subdivision Ordinance. The City Council may wish to take the average of these
figures which would be $166.50 per 1,000 square feet of floor area. This average charge
per 1,000 square feet of floor area translates into the following per acre park dedication
charge:
1 acre (43,560 square feet) X 30% building coverage = 13,068 square feet
1,000 (current square foot standard) = 13.068 X $166,50 (average park
dedication charge) = $2,175 per acre.
If the City Council reduces the commercial /industrial park land fee from $2,614 to $2,175,
it can anticipate $2,827,500 will be generated. This dedication would reduce the burden
on residential property, as shown below:
Total Park and Trail System Costs $22,965,399
50% of the Total System Costs to be Paid
by Existing Development $11,482,700
50% of the Total System Costs to be Paid
by Future Development $11,482,700
Commercial /Industrial Portion $ 2,827,500
Residential Portion $ 8,655,200

$8,655,200 (residential portion of future park cost) 4- 5,856 (future households)
= $1,478 (park cost per unit)
CONCLUSION
The May 22, 2001 memorandum includes a new park and dedication ordinance and a
resolution for establishing park dedication fees. After the Council discussion at its May 23,
2001 workshop, we have offered a second option for the park land fees by resolution. If
the City Council feels that the residential properties should be more responsible for the
costs of park and trail development, this second option may be considered. Based on our
analysis of the park land standards, we are comfortable that both alternatives are
reasonable and enforceable.
We have attached a resolution outlining the second fee schedule for the park land
dedication for your consideration.

CITY OF LINO LAKES
ORDINANCE NO. 01-06
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1001 OF THE CITY CODE REGARDING
SUBDIVISION AND PLATTING TO MODIFY PARK DEDICATION
REQUIREMENTS.
The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota, does ordain as follows:
z.
Section 1001.14 of the City Code is hereby amended to delete the existing provisions and add the
following requirements:
1001.14 Property Dedication.
Subdivision 1. A portion of any subdivision shall dedicate to the City a reasonable
portion of the proposed subdivision for public streets, roads, utility easements, water facilities,
storm water drainage and holding areas or ponds and other similar utilities and improvements.
Subdivison 2. As a prerequisite to any subdivision approval, and at the sole
determination by the City, applicants and/or developers shall dedicate land for parks,
playgrounds, public open spaces or trails and/or shall make a cash contribution to the City's park
dedication fund roughly related to the anticipated effect of the subdivision on the park and trail
system. The amounts listed in this Section are the City's best estimate of the dedication or cash
contribution needed to offset the effect of the subdivision on the park and trail system. The
requirement may also be met with a combination of land and cash if approved by the City
Council.
Subdivision 3. Land shall be reasonably suitable for its intended use and shall be
at a location convenient to the people to be served. Factors used in evaluating the adequacy of
proposed park and recreation areas shall include size, shape, topography, geology, hydrology,
tree cover, access and location, and future park needs pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan.
Wetlands, ponding areas, and drainage ways shall not be eligible for park dedication credit. Park
land to be dedicated shall be above the ordinary high water level. Grades exceeding twelve (12)
percent or areas unsuitable for park development shall not be considered for dedication. Land
with trash, junk, pollutants and/or unwanted structures is not acceptable.

Subdivison 4. The applicant shall confer with City Staff and the Park Board at the
time the preliminary plat is under consideration, to secure a recommendation as to the location of
any property that should be dedicated to the public, such as parks, playgrounds or other public
property. The preliminary plat shall show the location and dimensions of all areas to be
dedicated in this manner. Such contribution requirement recommendation(s) will be sent to the
Planning Commission for review and comment and subsequently to the City Council for their
approval.
Subdivision 5. When a proposed park, playground, recreation area or other public
ground has been indicated in the City's official map or Comprehensive Plan and is located in
whole or in part within a proposed plat, it shall be dedicated to the appropriate governmental
unit. If the applicant elects not to dedicate an area in excess of the land required hereunder for
such proposed public site, the City may consider acquiring the excess land through purchase or
condemnation.
Subdivision 6. Where private open space for park and recreation purposes is
provided in a proposed subdivision, such areas may be used for credit, at the discretion of the
City Council, against the land or cash dedication requirement for park and recreation purposes,
provided the City Council finds it is in the public interest to do so.
Subdivision 7. The City, upon consideration of the particular type of
development, may require that a lesser parcel of land should be dedicated due to particular
features of the development. In such cases, a cash contribution shall be required above the land
dedication to ensure that compensation is received for the full amount of the impact on the City's
park and trail system.
Subdivision 8. In all new residential, commercial and industrial subdivisions, ten
(10) percent of the area subdivided shall be dedicated for public recreation space or other public
use as established by City Council resolution. A different percentage may be applied as the City
Council shall determine to be reasonably necessary as a result of the subdivision approval. This
ten percent shall be calculated on the net area, which is the gross area of the subdivided property
minus the area in wetlands. The land dedicated for public recreation shall be in addition to
property dedicated for streets, alleys, easements, or other public ways. No areas may be
dedicated for public use until such areas have been approved by the City Council as suitable and
necessary for the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the City.
Subdivision 9. When a subdivision is proposed, the developer shall make a
dedication of land for public park and trail use, as provided for in Subdivision 8, of this Section,
or shall pay a fee in lieu of such land dedication as established by City Council resolution. Said
amount is the City's best estimate of the effect of the subdivision on the City's park system.

Subdivision 10. All land proposed for trail and/or bikeway dedication shall be
subject to the recommendations of the Park Board and approval of the City Council.
Subdivision 11. The City may elect at its sole discretion to receive a combination
of cash, land, and development of the land for park and/or trail use. Combined park land and
cash dedications shall be calculated based upon the following:
1. At the time of subdivision, a yield plan will be prepared demonstrating the total number
of units/lots possible within the development without a park. This figure is then
multiplied by the residential per unit park dedication charge (established by City Council
Resolution). The result of this calculation is equal to the total cash value of the park
dedication for the residential project. The formula is outlined as follows:
a. Buildable Acres (less wetlands, right -of -way, waterbodies etc.,) x Average
Density = Number of Units/Lots.
b. Number of Units/Lots x Residential Unit Cash Charge = Total Cash Contribution
for the Subdivision.
• 2. Land Value Determination. The value of the land dedication is determined based upon
the following formula:
a. Total Land Dedication Acres x Land Value = Total Land Value
3. To determine the combined land and cash dedication requirement, the following formula
should be used:
a. Total Cash Contribution for Subdivision — Land Value for Park Land = Balance
of Cash Contribution.
Subdivision 12. Planned unit developments with mixed land uses shall make cash
and /or land contributions in accordance with this Section based upon the percentage of land
devoted to the various uses.
Subdivision 13. Park cash contributions are to be calculated and established
based on land value at time of final plat. Cash dedications shall be included in the development
agreement and paid prior to the City's signature of and release of the final plat. For subdivisions
that do not require a development agreement, the cash dedication shall be paid before the City
releases the signed approval of the subdivision for recording.

Subdivision 15. Property being replatted with the same number of lots and same
number of dwelling units shall be exempt from all park land dedication requirements. If the
number of lots or the number of dwelling units is increased, or if land outside of the previously
recorded plat is added, then the park land dedication and/or park cash contributions shall be
based on the additional units/lots and on the additional land being added to the plat.
Subdivision 16. If the applicant or developer does not believe that the estimates
contained in this Section fairly and accurately represent the effect of the subdivision on the park
or trail system of the City, the applicant or developer may request that the City prepare an in-
depth study of the effect of the subdivision on the park and trail system an estimate of that effect
in money and/or land. All costs of such study shall be paid by the developer or applicant. If the
developer requests the preparation of such a study, no application for the development shall be
deemed complete until the study has been completed and a determination is made as to the
appropriate amount of land or money necessary to offset the effects of the subdivision.

BACKGROUND
The City has conducted a study of park needs and land values to determine appropriate park
dedication requirements in Lino Lakes. Section 1001 of the City Code makes up the
requirements for the subdivision of land. Park dedication requirements are included in the
subdivision regulations, as authorized by state statute.
• The City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 06 -01 at the May 14 meeting. The
Council had some questions about the actual formula and dollar amounts of the park dedication
requirements. The attached memo from Al Brixius and Deb Garros of NAC provides additional
information for the park dedication study and explains how the calculations will work.
The attached Ordinance 06 -01 amends the City's park dedication requirements. Subdivision 11
lays out the basic formula for the calculations.
The attached resolution lists the actual dollar amounts for park dedication calculations. We can
adopt the attached resolution and then change the fee schedule accordingly at a future City
Council meeting. The new charges would take effect on the effective date of Ordinance 06 -01.
This is anticipated to be July 5, 2001.
OPTIONS
1. Approve the second reading of Ordinance 06 -01 amending Section 1001 of the City Code .
regarding park dedication requirements.
2. Approve Resolution 01 -72 approving park dedication formulas and fees.
3. Return to staff with direction.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jeff Smyser
FROM: Alan Brixius / Deb Garross
DATE: May 22, 2001
RE: Lino Lakes — Park and Trail Dedication Study
FILE NO: 194.02 — 01.03
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide further information to the City of Lino
Lakes defining how park dedication fees should be calculated. The information
• contained herein is based upon questions raised by the City Council during the first
review of the proposed Subdivision Ordinance amendment to incorporate new revised
park dedication requirements and procedures to implement the results of the April 3,
Park and Trail Dedication Study prepared by NAC Inc.
•
ISSUE 1 — REQUIREMENTS FOR COMBINATION (CASH and LAND)
DEDICATIONS:
The City Council requested further clarification on how park dedication would be
determined when both cash and land dedications are required. This situation could
occur in a project where the park acreage, required pursuant to the Comprehensive
Park and Trail Plan, results in Tess than ten (10) percent of the project area and the
balance of the dedication would be granted as cash. There are three steps to involved
in calculating land and cash dedication requirements.
1. At the time of subdivision, a yield plan will be prepared demonstrating the total
number of lots possible within the development without a park. This figure is then
multiplied by the residential per unit park dedication charge (established by City
Council Resolution). The result of this calculation is equal to the total cash value
of the 10% park dedication for the residential project. The formula is outlined as
follows:
1 of 4
a. Buildable Acres (less wetlands, right -of -way, waterbodies etc.,) x Average
Density = Number of Lots.
b. Number of Lots x Residential Unit Cash Charge = Total Cash Contribution
for the Subdivision.
2. Land Value Determination. The value of the land dedication is determined based
upon the following formula:
a. Total Land Dedication Acres x Land Value* = Total Land Value
* The Park and Trail Dedication Study show an average land value of $28,000.
This land value should be reviewed annually to ensure that it is consistent with
current market conditions.
3. To determine the combined land and cash dedication requirement, the following
formula should be used:
a. Total Cash Contribution for Subdivision — Land Value for Park Land =
Balance of Cash Contribution.
EXAMPLE: Residential subdivision containing 40 acres of land with two acres of
wetlands developed at an average density of 2.1 units per acre. The City desires two
acres of park land and a cash contribution.
Step 1: Yield Plan = Buildable Area (40 ac. — 2 ac. = 38 buildable acres) x Average Density (2.1)
= 79 units x Residential Unit Charge ($1,960) = Total Project Cash Contribution ($154,846)
Step 2: Park Land Value = Average Land Value ($28,000 per acre) x Required Park Acres (2) =
Total Park Land Dedication Value ($56,000)
Step 3: Total Cash Contribution ($154,846) — Total Park Land Dedication Value ($56,000) _
Balance Cash Dedication Requirement ($98,846)
In this example, the park dedication requirement for this project would result in 2 acres
of land dedication (valued at $56,000) and $98,846 dollars in cash dedication for the
entire development. The combination of land and cash equals the dedication
requirement (valued at $154,846).
ISSUE 2 — COMMERCIAL /INDUSTRIAL DEDICATION
The City Council has determined that the policy to collect park dedication fees from
commercial and industrial subdivisions shall continue and directed staff to prepare the
appropriate amendments to the Subdivision Ordinance.
The current method to calculate commercial /industrial park dedication is outlined on
pages 172 and 173 of the Subdivision Ordinance. The current commercial /industrial
dedication requirements are based upon square footage of commercial /industrial
2 of 4
improvements. The problem with this method is that park dedication cannot be
determined until a building footprint is established via a site plan and building permit
after the subdivision is approved. The current procedure runs contrary to State Statutes
for park land dedication with subdivision approval. Staff is recommending the proposal
to establish a charge per acre of platted commercial /industrial land consistent with State
Statutes (which enable Cities to collect park dedication at the time of platting), as
opposed to the current square foot charge. The acreage charge can be calculated at
the time of subdivision or development, similar to the methodology used to calculate
residential park dedication.
In order to translate the existing square footage standard to an acreage standard staff
has assumed a commercial /industrial building site coverage of 30 %, which is typical for
this type of development. The City currently charges $200 per 1,000 square feet of
commercial /industrial building area. To translate the square footage standard to an
acreage standard, the following formula was used:
1 acre (43,560 square feet) x 30% building coverage = 13,068 _ 1,000 (current sq. ft.
standard) = 13.068 x $200 (current park dedication charge) = $2,614 (acreage charge)
The current square footage charge of $200 dollars per 1,000 square feet of
commercial /industrial developments is equal to $2,614 dollars per acre.
This acreage charge for commercial /industrial property compares favorably to similar
park dedication fees charged by other communities. The following table illustrates the
current commercial /industrial park dedication charges applied by various municipalities:

ISSUE 3 — REVISED RECOMMENDATION FOR RESIDENTIAL DEDICATION
If the City collects park dedication fees for commercial /industrial subdivisions as
identified herein, it is anticipated that $3,398,200 dollars will be generated. (This figure
represents the amount of vacant commercial /industrial land within the City less
wetlands). Upon full development of the City, the 1,300 net acres of
commercial /industrial land will generate of park dedication (based upon the current fee
of $2,614 dollars per commercial /industrial acre of land). This dedication serves to
reduce the burden on residential property as shown below:

RECOMMENDATION
1. The recommendation is to adopt attached Resolution 01 -_ establishing a
residential park dedication fee of $1,380 dollars per unit and a
commercial /industrial park dedication fee of $2,614 per acre.
• 2. The recommendation is to adopt attached Ordinance 06 -01 amending the
Subdivision Ordinance to modify park dedication standards and requirements
based upon the findings and recommendations of the Lino Lakes Park and Trail
Dedication Study.

CITY OF LINO LAKES
ORDINANCE NO. 06-01
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1001 OF THE CITY CODE REGARDING
SUBDIVISION AND PLATTING TO MODIFY PARK DEDICATION
REQUIREMENTS.
The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota, does ordain as follows:
I.
Section 1001.14 of the City Code is hereby amended to delete the existing provisions and add the
following requirements:
1001.14 Property Dedication.
Subdivision 1. A portion of any subdivision shall dedicate to the City a reasonable
portion of the proposed subdivision for public streets, roads, utility easements, water facilities,
storm water drainage and holding areas or ponds and other similar utilities and improvements.
Subdivison 2. As a prerequisite to any subdivision approval, and at the sole
determination by the City, applicants and/or developers shall dedicate land for parks,
playgrounds, public open spaces or trails and/or shall make a cash contribution to the City's park
dedication fund roughly related to the anticipated effect of the subdivision on the park and trail
system. The amounts listed in this Section are the City's best estimate of the dedication or cash
contribution needed to offset the effect of the subdivision on the park and trail system. The
requirement may also be met with a combination of land and cash if approved by the City
Council.
Subdivision 3. Land shall be reasonably suitable for its intended use and shall be
at a location convenient to the people to be served. Factors used in evaluating the adequacy of
proposed park and recreation areas shall include size, shape, topography, geology, hydrology,
tree cover, access and location, and future park needs pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan.
Wetlands, ponding areas, and drainage ways shall not be eligible for park dedication credit. Park
land to be dedicated shall be above the ordinary high water level. Grades exceeding twelve (12)
percent or areas unsuitable for park development shall not be considered for dedication. Land
with trash, junk, pollutants and/or unwanted structures is not acceptable.
. Ordinance 01 -06, Park Dedication
page 2
Subdivison 4. The applicant shall confer with City Staff and the Park Board at the
time the preliminary plat is under consideration, to secure a recommendation as to the location of
any property that should be dedicated to the public, such as parks, playgrounds or other public
property. The preliminary plat shall show the location and dimensions of all areas to be
dedicated in this manner. Such contribution requirement recommendation(s) will be sent to the
Planning Commission for review and comment and subsequently to the City Council for their
approval.
Subdivision 5. When a proposed park, playground, recreation area or other public
ground has been indicated in the City's official map or Comprehensive Plan and is located in
whole or in part within a proposed plat, it shall be dedicated to the appropriate governmental
unit. If the applicant elects not to dedicate an area in excess of the land required hereunder for
such proposed public site, the City may consider acquiring the excess land through purchase or
condemnation.
Subdivision 6. Where private open space for park and recreation purposes is
provided in a proposed subdivision, such areas may be used for credit, at the discretion of the
City Council, against the land or cash dedication requirement for park and recreation purposes,
provided the City Council finds it is in the public interest to do so.
Subdivision 7. The City, upon consideration of the particular type of
development, may require that a lesser parcel of land should be dedicated due to particular
features of the development. In such cases, a cash contribution shall be required above the land
dedication to ensure that compensation is received for the full amount of the impact on the City's
park and trail system.
Subdivision 8. In all new residential, commercial and industrial subdivisions, ten
(10) percent of the area subdivided shall be dedicated for public recreation space or other public
use as established by City Council resolution. A different percentage may be applied as the City
Council shall determine to be reasonably necessary as a result of the subdivision approval. This
ten percent shall be calculated on the net area, which is the gross area of the subdivided property
minus the area in wetlands. The land dedicated for public recreation shall be in addition to
property dedicated for streets, alleys, easements, or other public ways. No areas may be
dedicated for public use until such areas have been approved by the City Council as suitable and
necessary for the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the City.
Subdivision 9. When a subdivision is proposed, the developer shall make a
dedication of land for public park and trail use, as provided for in Subdivision 8, of this Section,
or shall pay a fee in lieu of such land dedication as established by City Council resolution. Said
amount is the City's best estimate of the effect of the subdivision on the City's park system.
Ordinance 01 -06, Park Dedication
page 3
Subdivision 10. All land proposed for trail and/or bikeway dedication shall be
subject to the recommendations of the Park Board and approval of the City Council.
Subdivision 11. The City may elect at its sole discretion to receive a combination
of cash, land, and development of the land for park and/or trail use. Combined park land and
cash dedications shall be calculated based upon the following:
1. At the time of subdivision, a yield plan shall be prepared demonstrating the total number
of lots possible within the development (without a park). This figure shall then be
multiplied by the residential per unit park dedication charge (established by City Council
Resolution). The result of this calculation is equal to the total cash value of the park
dedication for the subdivision. The formula is outlined as follows:
a. Buildable Acres (less wetlands, right -of -way, waterbodies etc.,) x Average
Density = Number of Lots.
b. Number of Lots x Residential Unit Cash Charge = Total Cash Contribution for the
Subdivision.
2. Land Value Determination. The value of the land dedication is determined based upon
the following formula:
a. Total Land Dedication Acres x Land Value = Total Land Value
3. To determine the combined land and cash dedication requirement, the following formula
shall be used:
a. Total Cash Contribution for Subdivision — Land Value for Park Land = Balance
of Cash Contribution.
Subdivision 12. Planned unit developments with mixed land uses shall make cash
and/or land contributions in accordance with this Section based upon the percentage of land
devoted to the various uses.
Subdivision 13. Park cash contributions are to be calculated and established
based on land value at time of final plat. Cash dedications shall be included in the development
agreement and paid prior to the City's signature of and release of the final plat. For subdivisions
that do not require a development agreement, the cash dedication shall be paid before the City
releases the signed approval of the subdivision for recording.

Subdivision 14. Cash contributions for parks and trails shall be deposited in
either the City's Park Fund or multi - purpose trail fund and shall only be used for park acquisition
or development, and trail acquisition or development as determined by the City.
Subdivision 15. Property being replatted with the same number of lots and same
number of dwelling units shall be exempt from all park land dedication requirements. If the
number of lots or the number of dwelling units is increased, or if land outside of the previously
recorded plat is added, then the park land dedication and/or park cash contributions shall be
based on the additional lots and on the additional land being added to the plat.
Subdivision 16. If the applicant or developer does not believe that the estimates
contained in this Section fairly and accurately represent the effect of the subdivision on the park
or trail system of the City, the applicant or developer may request that the City prepare an in-
depth study of the effect of the subdivision on the park and trail system an estimate of that effect
in money and/or land. All costs of such study shall be paid by the developer or applicant. If the
developer requests the preparation of such a study, no application for the development shall be
deemed complete until the study has been completed and a determination is made as to the
appropriate amount of land or money necessary to offset the effects of the subdivision.
II. Effective Date
This Ordinance shall be effective following its passage and publication as required by City
Charter.

• FIRST READING: Ordinance 01 -01
Rezoning Lot 13 Block 2 Sunset Oaks to R -1
• FIRST READING: Ordinance 02 -01
Amending Comprehensive Plan to Allocate 2.55
Acres of MUSA Reserve
• Resolution 01 -06 Approving Preliminary Plat
Behm's Farm Park Addition
4/5 vote for rezoning ordinance
4/5 vote for MUSA ordinance
3/5 for preliminary plat resolution
The applicant, Century Farms Development, has applied for a rezoning, an allocation of MUSA
reserve acres, and a preliminary plat. The site is within the existing Behm's Park on the
southwest corner of Mustang Lane and Palomino Lane.
Behm's Park currently includes approximately 8.6 acres. The park area includes Lots 13, 14, 15,
and 16, Block 2, Sunset Oaks. The City acquired these four lots for park purposes via warranty
deed in December 1985 to fulfill park dedication for Sunset Oaks.
The City rezoned Lots 14, 15, and 16 to R -1 in 1994 (Ordinance 15 -94). Lot 13, the southern
portion of the park, was not included in the rezoning action. This likely was an oversight.
In 1997, the City received approval from the Metropolitan Council to allow the City to use part
of its MUSA reserve for the Behm's Century Farms development. The approved submittal map
included Lots 14, 15, and 16, but did not include Lot 13. That is, the southern part of Behm's
Park was not included in the area where MUSA can be applied. Again, probably an oversight.
In 1999, the City Council authorized selling 2.55 acres of the park to G. M. Development for
$75,000, which was to include grading improvements to the park (Ordinance 16 -99 and
Resolution 99 -50). The intent was to allow for the creation of nine house lots. Proceeds of the
sale of this land would be used to develop the park. However, there was no guarantee in the
purchase agreement that the City would approve rezoning or development of the 2.55 acres.
Behm's Farm Park Addition

• Gary Uhde of G. M. Development has requested that the City allow him to follow through on his
plan for developing the new lots. Staff discussed this with the City Council at a work session on
11/8/00 and Council directed staff to proceed.
•
In order to proceed, three actions are needed:
1. Rezone Lot 13 Sunset Oaks to R -1
2. Allocate 2.55 acres of MUSA reserve to the area to be sold to the developer
3. Preliminary plat
This report is based on the submittal consisting of the following:
Preliminary Plat 12/11/00 submitted 12/11/00
Preliminary Grading Plan 4/18/00 submitted 12/11/00
Existing Conditions 12/11/00 submitted 12/11/00
ANALYSIS
Land use and zoning for the site and surrounding land are listed in the following table.
The site includes 8.6 acres with 2.55 acres to be platted as new house lots.
The proposed plat would create 9 single family lots.
The existing comprehensive plan shows the site as Single Family Residential. The draft land use
plan originally showed the site as Public Semi - Public. That map was created before the
negotiations with the City over the land sale. The draft map has been amended to reflect the new
lots, showing them as Low Density Sewered Residential.
Rezoning
Section 2, Subd. 1.E. of the zoning ordinance states that the City shall consider possible adverse
effects of the proposed zoning amendment. Its judgement shall be based upon, but not limited
to, the following factors.
1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of
and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan.

2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area.
The land use and zoning table shows that the proposed rezoning complies with these first two
factors. The site and surroundings is guided for single family and park uses. Land
immediately surrounding the new lots is already developed with single family homes. Most
of the current park will remain park The park acts as a buffer for the larger lot, unsewered
homes to the west and south.
3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein.
The proposal meets the zoning and platting requirements contained in City ordinances.
4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the City's service capacity.
Existing utilities can handle the nine new lots.
5. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property.
The existing roads can easily handle traffic from the nine new homes.
Staff recommends finding that the project complies with the above factors.
MUSA Policies
As noted above, most of the site is within the area approved for the use of some MUSA reserve.
The lower portion is not. However, only 0.5± acres is outside the approved area. Because this
appears to be an oversight of the past, staff feels comfortable with this. In addition, most of the
area approved for MUSA will remain as City parkland.
The City's MUSA reserve can be allocated within approved areas at the City's discretion.
Currently, the City has 29.2 acres in the reserve. This project would need 2.55 acres of MUSA
reserve.
Interim MUSA Reserve Criteria: The City has criteria for the allocation of the MUSA
reserve. Application of Interim MUSA Reserve shall be subject to the following:
1. An application for MUSA Reserve shall be considered at time of Preliminary Plat approval
and allocated at time of Final Plat following completion of a development agreement and
posting of financial guarantees.
• The request for MUSA is occurring concurrently with preliminary plat application.
•
•
Behm's Farm Park Addition
page 4
2. The property in question shall be zoned R -1 or R -1X or a rezoning application be in process in
conjunction with the preliminary plat.
The rezoning request is occurring concurrently with the MUSA request.
3. The property in question must be immediately adjacent to existing MUSA.
MUSA is directly across both Mustang and Palomino Lanes.
4. MUSA Reserve shall be allocated to net buildable acres.
The net acreage for the nine lots is 2.55 acres, and that is the MUSA request.
5. Development of the property must be considered a natural utility extension.
6. Development of the property must be considered a natural extension of existing roadways.
Utilities and roadways exist directly adjacent to the site.
7. Development of the property shall not adversely affect the health, welfare, and general
safety of the community.
8. Development of the property shall be environmentally compatible with the surrounding
area.
There is no evidence of negative impacts to the community or environment. The wetland plan
was approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District.
9. Development of the property shall be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Park Plan.
The revenue from developing the site into nine lots will provide funds to develop the park
according to the Park Plan.
10. MUSA Reserve shall be allocated only to properties located within Sewer District 1, 4s, 6
and the Behm's Century Farms Development within Sewer District No.2.
The site is almost entirely within the Behm's development as reviewed by the Met Council,
and would be completely in it if not for a past oversight.
11. Development of the property shall be consistent with the City's comprehensive Sewer and
Water Plan.
Utilities and roadways exist directly adjacent to the site.
12. The developer shall demonstrate a commitment to the community. -
This is one phase of the larger Behm's development area.
Behm's Farm Park Addition
page 5
13. The proposed development shall comply with the City's Infill Policy as outlined by
Resolution No. 92 -85.
See below.
14. Roadways serving the proposed development shall be determined adequate to handle the
additional traffic generated by the proposed development or a financial commitment shall be
made by the developer to upgrade said roadways.
Existing roads are adequate to handle traffic from nine new lots.
Infill Policy: The City adopted Resolution 92 -85, a policy for the location of new development,
also referred to as the "infill policy ". This policy includes criteria to be considered, which are
listed below:
• All new developments must be located within the MUSA as established by the
Comprehensive Plan.
Allocation of MUSA acres from the MUSA reserve will fulfill this requirement.
• All new developments must be analyzed for impact on utility and street system costs.
• New development shall only be allowed if:
a) The cost of utility and street extensions can be covered by immediate assessment, and
b) The cost of operation and maintenance of the system will not exceed the normal costs,
and
c) An upfront payment or series of payments by the developer would offset any additional
costs.
Utilities and streets exist to serve the new lots. Payments to support service to these lots will
be addressed as with any development.
Staff recommends finding that the project meets these criteria.
Preliminary Plat
Lots, Blocks: All the proposed lots comply with the minimum lot dimensions. The
blocks will not be separated by roads. Rather, park trails between the platted blocks will provide
access to the park.
Natural Features: An existing ditch has been relocated as part of the drainage plan for the
larger Behm's project. This ditch is classified as wetland. There is a small wetland on the
southern portion of the site that is not being impacted. The impact plan was approved by the
Rice Creek Watershed District.
•
Behm's Farm Park Addition
page 6
Native plantings have been planted inside the southern half of the trail loop. The northern
portion is sodded, irrigated play area.
Transportation, Roads, Access, Circulation: No new roads are proposed.
Parks and Trails: The City agreed to sell the land to the developer in order to obtain funds to
develop the park. As part of the land sale agreement, the developer has completed earthmoving
work in the park. He also graded the trail and installed aggregate. The City has since paved the
trail.
Additional park dedication will be $6885 cash. Because of the unusual situation, staff and the
developer negotiated for the cash dedication. This is based on a typical cost of land per acre in
Lino Lakes, and the 2.55 acres of new lots: $27,000 x 2.55 = $68,850. The typical City park
dedication of 10% calculates out to $6885.
Some discussion occurred at the public hearing about trail access to the site. Behm's 5th
Addition to the east across Mustang Lane originally had a trail leading to Mustang Lane.
However, residents protested that trail location, so it was not constructed all the way to Mustang.
Stormwater Management: As noted above, the ditch across the northern portion of the park
has been realigned somewhat as part of an approved plan. Grading and stormwater management
for this area was reviewed with previous Behm's Century Farms development. The grading plan
for the new lots will meet City requirements.
Utilities: Sewer and water are available both in Mustang Lane and Palomino Lane.
Conditions of Approval of Preliminary Plat: Resolution 01 -06 approves the preliminary
plat. Three conditions of approval are included in the resolution:
1. Ordinance 01 -01 must be in effect (30 days after publication) before the final plat can
be recorded.
2. Ordinance 02 -01 must be in effect (30 days after publication) before the final plat can
be recorded.
3. The developer must notify purchasers of residential lots of the existence of the nearby
Lino Air Park. The developer must provide to the City a copy of the notification
format to be used before final plat approval by the City.
PARK BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Park Board discussed this project at its January 4 meeting. The Board was glad this project
is in progress in order to complete the agreement and develop the park. The Park Board is
satisfied with the additional cash park dedication.

ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Environmental Board discussed this project at its January 3 meeting. That Board
recommends additional native plantings behind the Mustang Lane lots and notification of the
need for periodic burning of the plantings. Staff believes the existing native plantings are
sufficient.
PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
The P & Z reviewed the applications on January 10, 2001. The P & Z approved the rezoning,
MUSA allocation, and preliminary plat. One condition was added to the plat: that the
purchasers of the lots are notified of the existence of the air park.
SALE OF LAND
As explained above, the land currently is zoned Rural, with a 10 -acre minimum. Until the land is
rezoned, no lots smaller than that can be created. This means that the nine lots making up 2.55
acres of land cannot be created until the rezoning is effective. Therefore, the City cannot sell the
land to Century Farms Development until the rezoning is effective, 30 days after publication of
Ordinance 01 -01.
OPTIONS
1. Approve Ordinance 01 -01 rezoning Lot 13 Block 2 of Sunset Oaks to R -1.
2. Approve Ordinance 02 -01 amending the Comprehensive Plan to allocate 2.55 acres of
MUSA reserve to the 9 lots shown in the preliminary plat of Behm's Farm Park Addition.
3. Approve Resolution 01 -06 approving the preliminary plat of Behm's Farm Park Addition
with the conditions listed in the resolution.
4. Deny applications.
5. Return to staff with direction.

AGENDA ITEM 7 C
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser
C. C. MEETING DATE: May 29, 2001
TOPIC: Resolution 01 -69 Approving a Variance To Allow
Accessory Building Closer To Front Lot Line Than
Principal Building
John Cartier, 2088 80th St.
BACKGROUND
Mr. Cartier has applied for a variance from the prohibition on building an accessory building
closer to the front lot line than the principal building.
This report is based on the drawing submitted 3/19/01 showing the proposed accessory building
location on a 6/14/91 certificate of survey by E. G. Rud & Sons, Inc.
ANALYSIS
The City's zoning ordinance states that "No detached accessory structure shall be closer to the
front lot line than the principal building or its attached garage (Section 3 Subd. 4.D.1.c.). Mr.
Cartier wants to build an accessory building.
The existing house is toward the southwest corner of the property. The septic system is to the
southwest of the house. Considering the need for an alternate drainfield site, there is little land
left there for the accessory building.
Mr. Cartier states that land to the southeast of the house is lowland and unbuildable. The aerial
photo does show an area that appears to be a pocket pond, possibly wetland. The area noted as
"drainage" on the drawing corresponds to a type of soil with a seasonally high water table,
according to the county soil survey prepared by the Soil Conservation Service.
It is possible that the accessory building could be built in the far southeast corner of the site, but
that would require driving through the wet area to reach it from the house.
Mr. Cartier wants to build a 40' x 60' or 40' x 70' accessory building. The site is approximately
10 acres, so he could have a total of 4200 sq. ft. of accessory space, including the attached
garage. The garage is approximately 868 sf, which leaves3332 sf. A 40' x 70' building would
be 2800 sf.
•
Cartier Variance
page 2
Findings for Variance
In considering all requests for variance and in taking subsequent action, the City shall make a
finding of fact:
1. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions
allowed by the official controls.
2. That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his property not
created by the land owner.
3. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone and when a reasonable use for
the property exists under the terms of the ordinance.
4. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that would be denied by this ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same
district.
5. That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance.
The location of the low, wet area prevents an accessory building from being built to the southeast
of the house. The existing drainfield and need for a secondary drainfield area prevents the
building from being built to the southwest of the house. It would be unreasonable to require a
driveway through the wet area to reach the far southeast corner of the property. The landowner's
intent to use the new building for an agricultural use fits with the purpose of the Rural zoning
district.
• Staff recommends approving the variance with the following condition:

Council Member
introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption.
CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 01-69
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW AN ACCESSORY BUILDING
TO BE CLOSER TO THE FRONT LOT LINE THAN THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING
WHEREAS, a request has been submitted to the City Council for a Variance from the City of
Lino Lakes Zoning Code, and
WHEREAS, the legal description of the property is:
The east 658 feet of the west 1314 feet of the North Half of the North Half of the Northwest
Quarter of Section 12, Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County, Minnesota. Subject to roads.
and
WHEREAS, Section 3 Subd. 4.D.1.c. of the Lino Lakes zoning ordinance states that "No
detached accessory structure shall be closer to the front lot line than the principal building or its
attached garage ", and
WHEREAS, the applicant desires to construct an accessory building closer to the front lot line
than the existing house, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes makes following findings of fact:
1. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions
allowed by the official controls. The existing drainfield and need for a secondary
drainfield area prevents the accessory building from being built to the southwest of
the house.
2. The plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his property
not created by the landowner. The location of the low, wet area prevents an
accessory building from being built to the southeast of the house and it would be
unreasonable to require a driveway through the wet area to reach the far southeast
comer of the property.
3. The hardship is not due to economic considerations alone. This application is not
driven by reluctance to spend extra money to avoid the need for a variance.
4. Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that would be denied by this ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the
same district. The physical features of the site create the hardship.

5. The proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance.
The landowner's intent to use the new building for an agricultural use fits with the
purpose of the Rural zoning district.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lino Lakes City Council hereby approves
the variance to construct an accessory structure closer to the front lot line than the principal
building, in the general location indicated on the attached drawing received by the City on March
19, 2001.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following condition of approval applies:
A building permit must be obtained before construction of the accessory building begins.

AGENDA ITEM 7D
STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 29, 2001
TOPIC: SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 01 -07, Vacating An Easement on
Lot 11, Block 1, Lino Air Park North
VOTE REQUIRED: 4/5 VOTE REQUIRED
BACKGROUND:
The owner of the lot at 314 Carl Street has petitioned the City to vacate a portion of
the easement located on his lot. The dimensions of the existing easement, the
proposed easement, and the legal description are described on the attached
drawings. The existing easement was dedicated for ponding and flowage purposes.
The property owner has requested this change because the existing easement
configuration will not accommodate his proposed house and hanger. There is also a
taxiway easement on the property that will be left unaltered.
Rice Creek Watershed District has reviewed and approved of the proposed change
as shown on the attached correspondence dated March 5, 2001. City staff has
determined that the drainage can be conveyed using the reduced easement area as
shown and recommends granting the vacation request.
Section 12.05 of the City Charter requires that real property of the City cannot be
disposed of except by Ordinance. The first reading of this ordinance was held on
May 14, 2001. The Ordinance will require one more reading, publication, and a
waiting period before it is in effect. The proposed schedule for this vacation is as
follows:
First Reading of the Ordinance
Second Reading of the Ordinance
Publication of the Ordinance in the Legal Newspaper
Effective Date of the Ordinance
May 14, 2001 (Complete)
May 29, 2001
June 5, 2001

OPTIONS:
1. Approve the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 01 -07.

AGENDA ITEM 7E
STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 29, 2001
TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING — 21st Avenue Street and Storm Sewer
Improvements
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote required to close the hearing
BACKGROUND:
On April 23, 2001, the City Council received a Feasibility Report, and set the
Public Hearing, for the installation of storm sewer and street along 21st Avenue,
south of Main Street. This report had been prepared to address transportation
and storm sewer needs of the Clearwater Creek Business Center area.
On May 22, 2001, Lino Lakes staff met with Centerville staff to discuss the
details of the feasibility study and related issues. The feasibility study had been
prepared based on a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) previously approved by the
City of Lino Lakes. Centerville staff has requested changes in the JPA which
affect some of the cost and assessment data in the study. A revised study that
incorporates the requested JPA changes will be submitted and presented at the
hearing. No further action will be requested until the City Council has had an
opportunity to consider the revised JPA. The revised JPA will be prepared,
submitted to Centerville staff for review, then brought to the Lino Lakes City
Council for your consideration on June 11, 2001.
OPTIONS:
1. Continue the Public Hearing.
2. Close the Public Hearing.
RECOMMENDATION:
Option No. 2 - Staff recommends closing the public hearing.

Resolution 01 -71 Approving for Distribution the
Environmental Assessment Worksheet for the Lino
Lakes Marketplace
ACTION REQUIRED: 3/5 vote
BACKGROUND
Minnesota state statutes require environmental review for certain projects. Rules written
by the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) describe the requirements for the
environmental review. These rules were written to implement MN Statute 116D, the
Minnesota Environmental Policy Act.
City staff have reviewed the information submitted by the project proposer on the Lino
Lakes Marketplace project. This project includes a Target Superstore, Kohl's, and
approximately 35,000 sf of smaller retail buildings. Staff has amended the information
and is comfortable recommending that the EAW be distributed for public comment.
Environmental Review Process
The rules state that when specified types of projects reach a specified size, they cross a
threshold for mandatory environmental review. Environmental review starts with an
environmental assessment worksheet (EAW). An EAW is defined as a brief document
which is designed to set out the basic facts necessary to determine whether an
environmental impact statement (EIS) is necessary. The EAW form was created by the
EQB. It is a list of questions that must be completed based on the project specifics.
Briefly, the project proposer submits information for the EAW. The City then reviews
the submitted information for accuracy and completeness. Then the EAW is distributed
and made available for public review. A public comment period of 30 days follows.
Approving the EAW for distribution means that the City is comfortable that the
document is accurate and complete to the best of its knowledge. There is no other
commitment or hidden implication regarding approval of the project in making the
decision to distribute the document. Approving the EAW for distribution does not mean
that the City is approving the project. On the contrary, if a project requires an EAW, the
project cannot be started and no governmental entity can make a final decision on the
project until the environmental review process is completed.
•
After the public comment period, the City decides if it has enough information to
determine if the project will cause significant environmental effects. If it will not cause
such effects, the City makes a "negative declaration" meaning that an EIS is not
necessary. If the review process reveals, in the judgement of the City, that the project
will cause significant environmental effects, the City makes a "positive declaration"
meaning an EIS is necessary.
An EIS is a very large, very expensive study. It is not unusual for an EIS cost a million
dollars and typically takes several years to complete.
A step -by -step summary of the process follows.
1. Project proposer submits data.
• Normally, the developer completes the EAW form and the City reviews and
amends it.
• It is the City's document and the City has a responsibility to ensure, to the best of
its ability, that it is complete and accurate.
2. City approves the EAW for distribution.
3. There is a list of agencies to which the EAW must be distributed.
4. Availability of the EAW is published in the EQB Monitor. (see attached example)
City provides press release to newspaper.
5. Thirty -day public comment period begins on day of publication.
6. After comment period closes, City determines if it has enough information to make a
determination.
• If not, it can postpone the decision for 30 more days to gather information.
7. If City has sufficient information, it should make a determination within 30 days of
the close of the comment period.
• A negative declaration means there will be no significant environmental effects
from the project and an EIS is not necessary.
• A positive declaration means an EIS is necessary.
8. The City provides its decision within five days to the distribution list and everyone
who submitted a comment.
9. The City must respond to all substantive comments and distribute the responses.
The attached EAW is the main part of the document —the questions and answers. There
are several hundred pages of exhibits that go along with it. They are listed on page 28.
•
•
•
The project proposer will make all the necessary copies and distribute them to the
required agencies via certified mail. We will have a copy available in the library in City
Hall.
The next deadline for the EQB Monitor is June 4, which will allow for publication on
June 11. The public comment period would end July 11.
OPTIONS
1. Approve Resolution 01 -71 approving the EAW for distribution.
2. Return to staff with direction.

6. Description
a. Provide a project summary of 50 words or less to be published in the EQB Monitor.
The project consists of a retail center in the City of Lino Lakes located in the northeast quadrant of
the intersection of Interstate 35W and Lake Drive. The existing undeveloped land of 40.15 acres
will be replaced with 326,400 square feet of retail buildings.
b. Give a complete description of the proposed project and related new construction.
Attach additional sheets as necessary. Emphasize construction, operation methods and
features that will cause physical manipulation of the environment or will produce wastes.
Include modifications to existing equipment or industrial processes and significant
demolition, removal or remodeling of existing structures. Indicate the timing and duration
of construction activities.
Ryan Companies, US Inc. is proposing to develop a retail center in the City of Lino Lakes. The
development is located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Interstate 35W and Lake
Drive. The development will replace approximately 40.15 acres of undeveloped land with
approximately 326,400 square feet of retail buildings with associated parking areas, including the
following:
SuperTarget Retail Store 182,760 square feet
Kohl's Retail Store 106,584 square feet
Other Retail 37,056 square feet
total 326,400 square feet
The initial plan for the Kohl's store includes 86,584 sf with a future 20,000 sf addition. Other retail
space has not been finalized and may change somewhat.
Including all buildings, parking, and roads, the total amount of impervious surface after
development is expected to be 28.78 acres.
Initial site work and construction is expected to begin August 2001, with the grand opening of the
proposed SuperTarget Store scheduled for July 2002. Remaining parcels are expected to be
developed by the end of 2005.
Traffic generation from this project will create the need for signal lights and turn lanes on Lake
Drive.
The project proposer has submitted information stating that the retail hours of operation will be
6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Hours of operation and potential impacts on neighboring properties will
be considered as part of the project review.
c. Explain the project purpose; if the project will be carried out by a governmental unit,
explain the need for the project and identify its beneficiaries.
To provide retail services to the public.
d. Are future stages of this development including development on any outlots planned or
likely to happen? Yes x No

9. Land use. Describe current and recent past land use and development on the site and
on adjacent lands. Discuss project compatibility with adjacent and nearby land uses.
Indicate whether any potential conflicts involve environmental matters. Identify any
potential environmental hazards due to past site uses, such as soil contamination or
abandoned storage tanks, or proximity to nearby hazardous liquid or gas pipelines.
The land use designations and zoning is shown in the table:
A portion of the site and land to the northeast of the site is a large area designated as " Greenway"
on the draft land use plan. Greenways can include valued natural features, trails, or both. They
provide corridors for wildlife and serve to protect natural environmental features as well as provide
linkages for trails. The greenway corridors are conceptual and are to be specifically located as
part of development review process.
The project site is guided and zoned by the city for retail commercial uses. Though the SC
Shopping Center zoning district is intended for the types of uses proposed by the project, it does
not allow for individual lots smaller than three acres, nor does it allow for lots that do not front on a
public roadway. Because of these restrictions, it is necessary to rezone the site to PDO Planned
Development Overlay. In Lino Lakes, a planned development is a rezoning. The PDO zone
allows for greater flexibility and more economical and efficient use of the land.
Current Land Use: The site is undeveloped.
Adjacent Land Uses: Along the northern edge of the site, on the south side of 77th St., are two
warehouses and two duplexes which abut the project site. Across 77th St. to the north is the
existing Carole's Estates residential neighborhood of single family homes. There are several
more residences on larger lots to the immediate east of the project site. All these residential
properties are on individual wells and septic systems except for the two duplexes, which are
connected to city utilities in 77th St.
To the south of the site is approximately 10 acres of commercial land and Interstate 35W. To the
south of the freeway is the Village, where the City is working to create a city center of mixed uses,
including City Hall and other public uses as well as private housing and commercial uses.

Project compatibility with adjacent land uses: The City has intended that this site be
developed for extensive retail use and has planned and zoned it for such uses. The potential
impacts on the existing neighborhood is an important concern to be addressed in the design of
the project. Traffic, lighting, noise, and landscaping must all be addressed. With proper attention
to the potential for impacts on surrounding land uses, the project can be compatible.
The project will not have a road connection to 77th St. This avoids retail traffic from using
residential streets. As standard City policy applied to all commercial projects. lighting will be
reviewed by the City to ensure fixtures do not create glare on neighboring properties. Proposed
landscaping along 77th St includes spruce and birch trees. Specific species will be reviewed by
City environmental staff to ensure compatibility with the location and planned uses.
Noise issues are addressed as part of the indirect source permit (see item 24 and Exhibit H). An
additional noise issue is loading dock activity at different hours of the day. One potential means of
addressing this issue is to apply a condition that truck loading must occur during specified hours.
The overall building architecture will be oriented toward some of the features already used to the
south in the Village area as well as new features that will complement the site and provide
screening and buffering to the rural neighborhoods to the north and east of the property.
Environmental hazards from past land uses: None identified.
10. Cover Types: Estimate the acreage of the site with each of the following cover types
before and after development (before and after totals should be equal):
If Before and After totals are not equal, explain why:
Before /After totals do not equal because of revegetation and plantings.
11. Fish, wildlife and ecologically sensitive resources
a. Identify fish and wildlife resources and habitats on or near the site and describe how
they would be affected by the project. Describe any measures to be taken to minimize or
avoid impacts.
Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve
The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve, owned and managed by Anoka County,
is part of the regional open space system. The park contains some of the most significant native
wildlife habitat in the metropolitan area. Habitats are rich and varied and include heavily wooded
areas, wetlands, prairie, lakes, flood plains, and open fields. Visitors may see muskrats, red fox,
grey & red squirrel, woodchuck, weasel, deer, resident birds such as pheasant, pileated
woodpeckers, bald eagles, and a variety of migratory waterfowl.

The park contains a blue heron rookery with reported flights in vicinity of the project site. Per
conversation with John Von Delinde, Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department, it is
believed that the blue heron rookery relocated to an unknown area due to construction noise
related to the reconstruction of I -35W in the spring and summer of 1999 and 2000.
Potential water quality impacts on wetland habitat in the park reserve is an important issue.
Runoff from the site ultimately runs under the freeway into the park reserve and George Watch
Lake.
Plant Communities
The wildlife habitat value of the project site is primarily a function of the type, distribution and
quality of the plant communities it encompasses. The project site encompasses three plant
community types: (1) an upland forest stand with old field openings in the southwest corner of the
site, (2) a large central upland old field area that covers most of the project site and (3) two
partially drained wetlands that lie in the northeast corner of the site adjacent to I -35W. These
plant communities were described in detail in the Lino Lakes Town Center Natural Resources
Inventory Report. The characteristics of these areas and anticipated project impacts are
summarized below. These summaries combine information from the Inventory and a site visit by
a member of the project proposer's team.
Upland Forest Stand with Old Field Openings
The ground layer in this stand is dominated by smooth brome (Bromus inermis), with quack grass
(Agropyron repens) and blue grass (Poa pratensis) also present. The mature portion of the
overstory consists of large, 24 -30 inch bur oaks (Quercus macrocarpa) and two large, 12 -20 inch
American elms ( Ulmus americana). The balance of the deciduous trees include boxelder (Acer
negundo), Siberian elm (Ulmus pumila), and one 15 inch cottonwood (Populus deltoides).
Coniferous tree species adjacent to this area include 7 -8 inch red cedars (Juniperus virginiana).
Upland Old Field
Quack grass, smooth brome, blue grass, giant mullein (Verbascum thapsus), and a variety of
other native and non - native plant species adapted to disturbance dominate the old field portion of
the site. In the east central portion of the old field there is an area that has been previously
scraped and includes piles of dumped materials that appear to include dredged peat substrates,
glacial till with gravels and sands, some demolition debris, and some cinders. Around the scrape,
large areas of weedy disturbance vegetation have developed, including horseweed (Erigeron
canadensis), giant mullein, sweet clover (Melilotus spp.), and Russian thistle (Salsola kali), with
scattered bush clover (Lespedeza spp.) also present. Throughout the large field are patches of
depauperate dry prairie containing New Jersey tea (Ceanothus americanus), bush clover, showy
goldenrod (Solidago speciosa), and patches of little and big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii and
Schizachryrium scoparium), Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans), love grass (Agrostis spp.), pearly
everlasting (Anaphilis margaritacea), vervains (Verbena spp.), evening primrose (Oenothera
biennis), and prairie panic grass (Panicum linearifolium).
The City Ordinance defines a significant tree as any hardwood deciduous tree 6" caliper or
greater, any softwood deciduous tree of 8" caliper or greater, and any coniferous tree of 12' height
or greater. See Exhibit J, Significant Tree Survey. The tree survey logged 752 trees, including
566 "significant trees" as defined by ordinance. The proposed grading activities will require the
removal of 474 significant trees. In addition, the City has requested that all aspen and cottonwood
be removed from the site. An additional twenty-one (21) "significant" aspen and cottonwood will
be removed that would have been preserved during the grading process. The total tree removal
count is then at 495 significant trees. Refer to Exhibit J — Tree Removal for more specifics on the
common name of trees on site and those removed.
Page 10 of 28
Draft EAW Lino Lakes Marketplace
May 11, 2001
The City does not have a tree mitigation /replacement guideline. In lieu of this requirement, the
applicant believes that the proposed landscaping plan meets the goals and objectives of the City's
landscaping requirements. The site grading activities will result in the removal of 21 Tamarack
trees from the property. Specific to this action, sixty -seven (67) Tamarack trees will be planted in
the northwest and east areas of the site, surrounding and in the bio- retention basins. The Tree
Preservation Plan is provided in Exhibit K.
Wetlands
Two partially drained wetlands lie at the eastern end of the project site. These wetlands are
described in more detail under Question 12.
Fish and Wildlife
The proposed project will result in a reduction in wildlife habitat and an attendant reduction in
wildlife numbers on the project site. None of the species affected are in danger of significant
population reductions or of becoming uncommon as a result of the proposed project. Specific
impacts are discussed in more detail below.
Mammals
Because the project site is predominantly upland old field, most of the mammalian species are
consistent with this habitat type. Such species include thirteen -lined ground squirrels,
woodchucks, red fox, pocket gophers, meadow voles, deer mice and striped skunks. The site has
limited forested areas that may receive use by white - tailed deer, eastern chipmunks, raccoons,
gray squirrels, cottontail rabbits and gray fox. Due to their partially drained state and the
associated invasion of woody plants, the wetlands on the site probably receive more use by the
above - listed upland forest species than wetland dependant species. The reed canary grass -
dominated portions of the basins provide limited mammal habitat, being used primarily by -
meadow voles.
Impacts to mammals will primarily be associated with the clearing and conversion of forested and
grassland habitats to developed uses. The reduction in habitat for species using these areas will
ultimately reduce mammal populations on the project site.
Birds
The primary birds using the project site are those adapted to old field areas such as include
mourning doves, American robins, chimney swifts, eastern kingbirds, tree swallows, barn
swallows, common grackles, brown headed cowbirds, house finches, house sparrows and
starlings. Bird use of forested and shrubby areas is more limited due to the relatively small
amount of this habitat on the site. Species that use such areas include American crows, downy
woodpeckers, blue jays, black- capped chickadees, white - breasted nuthatches, house wrens, gray
catbirds, brown thrashers, cedar waxwings, warbling and red -eyed vireos, northern cardinals,
indigo buntings, chipping sparrows, white - throated sparrows, goldfinches and broad - winged
hawks. Yellow warblers, common yellowthroats, song sparrows and red - winged blackbirds use
the wetland fringes. The site encompasses no suitable habitat for waterfowl or wading birds. It is
also unlikely that the site receives much use by bird species dependant on large tracts of
unbroken forest (e.g. scarlet tanager, ovenbird, yellow- throated vireo, red -eyed vireo and cerulean
warbler).
With conversion of the project site to developed uses, the site will no longer provide habitat for
bird species using the old fields and limited woodlands on the site. The proposed on -site water
quality treatment pond will provide limited habitat for waterfowl and wading birds, though it has not
been designed to have significant wildlife habitat value. The off -site wetland mitigation areas will
increase the habitat available for a variety of wetland dependant bird species.

•
Reptiles and Amphibians
Typical reptile and amphibian species likely to be using the project site include garter snakes,
ring- necked snakes, and gray tree frogs. Habitat values for these species will be reduced as a
result of converting forest and old field areas to developed uses. Wetland dependant species
(e.g. leopard frogs, painted turtles) will be largely unaffected, as the hydrology of the wetlands on
the site is too ephemeral to support these species. The proposed off -site mitigation areas will
result in a net increase available habitat for wetland dependant reptiles and amphibians.
Fisheries: The project site encompasses no fisheries habitat.
b. Are any state - listed (endangered, threatened or special concern) species, rare plant
communities or other sensitive ecological resources such as native prairie habitat,
colonial waterbird nesting colonies or regionally rare plant communities on or near the
site? X Yes No
If yes, describe the resource and how it would be affected by the project. Indicate if a site
survey of the resources has been conducted and describe the results. If the DNR Natural
Heritage and Nongame Research program has been contacted give the correspondence
reference number:
Describe measures to minimize or avoid adverse impacts.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has reviewed the Minnesota Natural
Heritage database to determine if any rare plant or animal species or other significant natural
features are known to occur within an approximate one -mile radius of the project site. Exhibit B
references a correspondence and documentation from the DNR.
Based on the DNR review, there are eight known occurrences of rare species or natural
communities in the searched area. However, based on the nature and location of the proposed
project, the DNR does not believe it will affect any known occurrences of rare features.
NHNRP Contact No. ERDB 20010650 & 20010181
12. Physical impacts on water resources. Will the project involve the physical or
hydrologic alteration — dredging, filling, stream diversion, outfall structure, diking, and
impoundment — of any surface waters such as a lake, pond, wetland, stream or drainage
ditch? _X _Yes No
If yes, identify water resource affected and give the IDNR Protected Waters Inventory
number(s) if the water resources affected are on the PWI:
Describe alternatives considered and proposed mitigation measures to minimize impacts.
Wetlands on Proiect Site
Wetlands on the project site have were delineated Peterson Environmental Consulting, Inc. on
December 6, 2000. The delineation is considered preliminary because it was conducted outside
the normal growing season. The Rice Creek Watershed District and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers have been provided copies of the delineation report and asked to review and provide
letters of concurrence on the delineation as early in the Spring of 2001 as possible. Two
jurisdictional wetlands were delineated, cumulatively totaling 4.87 acres. These wetlands are
described below and in complete report in Exhibit C
Page 12 of 28
Draft EAW Lino Lakes Marketplace
May 11, 2001
Basin A
Basin A is a 3.63 acre partially drained remnant severed from a much larger wetland complex
southeast of I -35W. Basin A is a partially drained combination of palustrine emergent, scrub
shrub and forested wetland (PEMC /PSS /FO1 Cd; Circular 39 Types 1L/2/6). This remnant was
historically ditched and drains first to an off-site road ditch and then via culvert under I -35W, both
of which are lower in elevation than the subject wetland.
Based on the presence of these drainage facilities and the character of existing plant
communities, it is evident that this wetland remnant once had a much wetter hydrologic regime.
The emergent portion of Basin A is dominated by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea;
FACW +) and has smaller remnants of tussock sedge (Carex stricta; OBL) and Canada bluejoint
(Calamagrostis canadensis; OBL) in the deeper portions of the wetland basin. With partial
drainage, the fringes of the basin have been invaded by woody species, including cottonwoods
(Populus deltoides; FACW, trembling aspen, and paper birch. Speckled alder (Alnus rugosa;
OBL) still occupies a portion of the basin. A small stand of tamarack trees (Larix laracina; OBL)
once existed within the wetland. With the drainage that has occurred, only a one or two of these
trees lies within the delineated wetland boundary. The remaining trees are now on the effectively
drained fringes the former wetland.
Basin B
About 1.24 acres of Basin B lies within the project site. The remainder of this wetland lies off -site
to the northeast. Basin B is a partially drained combination of emergent, scrub shrub and forested
wetland (PEMC /PSS /FO1 Cd; Circular 39 Types 1L/3/6 shallow marsh, shrub swamp and
bottomland hardwoods. This wetland lies in the very northeast corner of the project site and will
not be affected by development.
Proposed Impacts
The complete wetland mitigation plan can be found in Exhibit D.
Basin A
The proposed project would entail 2.48 of fill and 1.15 acres of excavation within Basin A. The
proposed fill is necessary due to large footprint of the type of development being proposed, the
size and configuration of the project site and the central location of the subject wetland in the most
visible area of freeway frontage. The applicant proposes sequencing flexibility (as defined in
Minn. Rules 8420.0520 Subp. 7a) given the substantially degraded state of Basin A and the higher
level of wetland functions and values anticipated in the proposed replacement wetlands. The
proposed excavation would be for the purpose of providing stormwater ponding to pre -treat all
runoff from impervious surfaces prior to its discharge to the larger wetland complex to the east.
The proposed pond location is due its topographic position and the location of the existing outlet
structure under the freeway.
Basin B
Impacts to Basin B have been totally avoided in the design of proposed project.
Applicable Regulatory Framework and Mitigation Requirements
Wetland Conservation Act
The 2.48 acres of proposed wetland filling impact will be regulated under the Minnesota Wetland
Conservation Act (WCA). Unavoidable impacts must justified and offset through compensatory
wetland replacement at a minimum 2 to 1 acreage ratio. The WCA requires a sequencing
analysis to demonstrate that the proposed impacts are unavoidable.
Excavation within wetlands is only regulated under the WCA if proposed in the semi - permanently
or permanently flooded portions of Types 3, 4 or 5 wetlands. Excavation within saturated,
temporarily flooded and seasonally flooded wetlands is not regulated under the WCA, provided

the wetland is not drained by the activity. The project proposer suggests that since the excavation
proposed for stormwater ponding would not drain wetland and would not occur in Types 3, 4 or 5
wetland, this excavation would not be regulable under the WCA.
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
The wetland complex that Basin A was once part of is contiguous to George Watch Lake, which
drains to Rice Creek and ultimately the Mississippi River. Basin A is hydrologically connected to
George Watch Lake via storm sewer. In light of the historic natural connection between Basin A
and George Watch Lake, Basin A has been assumed to be adjacent to a tributary of a navigable
water and subject to Corps of Engineers jurisdiction under section 404 of the Clean Water Act. It
has been assumed that the Corps will require 1 to 1 replacement of the entire 3.63 acres of
wetland that will be affected by the project.
Rice Creek Watershed District Rules
The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) is the Local Government Unit (LGU) under the
Wetland Conservation Act. The RCWD has an adopted wetland ordinance that incorporates
WCA requirements for sequencing and wetland replacement. The rules also require 1 to 1
acreage replacement for adverse impacts to wetlands that are not regulated under the WCA.
Accordingly, the project proposer assumed that the 2.48 acres of wetland fill will be replaced at a
2 to 1 ratio per the WCA rules and that the 1.15 acres of excavation will be replaced at 1 to 1.

Sequencing
The applicant has considered the possibility of selecting and developing its project site so as to
avoid filling or draining of wetlands. Given the high level of disturbance within the affected
wetlands, the applicant has utilized guidance contained in the sequencing flexibility section of the
Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) WCA, Rules (see Minn. Rules 8420.0520
Subp. 7(a) B). According to these rules;
"[f]lexibility in application of the sequencing steps may be applied, subject to the
conditions in item A, as determined by the local government unit if:
(1) the wetland to be impacted has been degraded to the point where
replacement of it would result in a certain gain in function and public
value;
(2) preservation of a wetland would result in severe degradation of the
wetland's ability to function and provide public values, for example,
because of surrounding land uses and the wetland's ability to function
Page 14 of 28
Draft EAW Lino Lakes Marketplace
May 11, 2001
and provide public values cannot reasonably be maintained through other
land use controls or mechanisms;
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has similar sequencing flexibility guidance, set forth in
Regulatory Guidance Letter 93 -2 Guidance on Flexibility of the 404(b)(1) Guidelines and Mitigation
Banking (RGL 93 -2) which states that the degree of scrutiny of project alternatives should be
commensurate with the severity of the project impact and that different wetlands have varying
functions and values. This guidance provides that "...for projects that would cause only minor or
negligible impacts, a detailed analysis of project alternatives should not be conducted ". This
document further states that minor impacts have one, and frequently more, of the following
characteristics: (1) they occur in wetlands which perform limited functions, (2) they are small in
size (less than one acre), (3) they have little potential for secondary or cumulative impacts, and /or
(4) only cause temporary impacts (less than one year).
Due to the drainage impacts that the affected wetland has incurred, the applicant submits that
sequencing flexibility appropriately applies in this case. Based on the distribution of vegetation in
and around the wetland, Basin A has been substantially reduced in size and in its ecological
integrity. As described above, all but one or two of the tamaracks that fringed the wetland now lie
on uplands. Non - hydrophytic woody vegetation has invaded a substantial portion of the wetland.
In particular, paper birch (Betula papyrifera; FACU +) has become dominant in the southwest
portion of Basin A. Cottonwoods (Populus deltoides; FAC +), trembling aspen (P. tremuloides;
FAC) and box elder (Acer negundo; FACW -) have also moved into the substantial portions of the
wetland. The central part of the wetland has become a reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea;
FACW +) monotype.
The applicant has applied MinRAM 2.0 to analyze the functions and values of the affected wetland
versus the mitigation sites described below under Compensatory Mitiqation)(see Appendix C).
Based on the results of these analyses, the applicant submits that the proposed replacement
wetlands will result in a certain gain in function and public value over the affected wetland.
Avoidance Alternatives
Notwithstanding the applicability of sequencing flexibility, the applicant has endeavored to avoid
and minimize wetland impacts on the project site to the extent practicable. The applicant
considered two alternatives that would totally avoid wetland impacts. These alternatives are:
No Action Alternative: One alternative is the no action alternative, which would result in the
project site remaining undeveloped. The applicant considers this alternative infeasible because it
is; (1) inconsistent with the City's long -term plans and zoning for the project site and (2) would
defeat the reasonable investment - backed expectations of the applicant. The City of Lino Lakes
has zoned the project site SC — Shopping Center and has designated it part of its Town Center
Planning and Development Area. Surrounding properties to the south and west are also planned
and zoned for retail and other commercial uses.
Total Avoidance Build Alternative: The applicant has considered developing the site in a
manner that totally avoids the two wetlands on the site. Under this scenario, the footprint of the
proposed Target store and its parking facilities would need to be shifted about 323 feet to the
west. This would; (1) require the elimination of the Kohl's store, (2) would place the proposed
Target in a location with insufficient depth north to south to accommodate the building footprint
and its associated parking facilities and (3) substantially reduce frontage on and visibility from I-
35W. The exception properties in the northwest and southwest corners of the site substantially
reduce the north -south depth of the project site at its western end. Due to this limited depth, the
western end of the site is suitable only for commercial uses with much smaller building footprints.
The applicant submits that these constraints render a westerly shift of the development
impractical, particularly when the degraded state of the affected wetland is considered as a factor.

Minimization of Impacts
In an effort to minimize wetland impacts, the applicant has placed the proposed development as
far west as reasonably possible. By doing so, Basin B has been totally avoided in the design of
the development. While only part of Basin A would be filled by the development, the remaining
remnant of this wetland would lie in the only part of the site topographically suited for stormwater
storage and treatment. For this reason, the remainder of Basin A has been incorporated into the
water quality treatment pond for the project. For the reasons cited under the total avoidance
alternative above, the applicant finds that further minimization of wetland impacts is impractical.
Proposed Wetland Replacement
Given the footprint of the proposed project in relation to the size and configuration of the project
site, on -site wetland replacement is not considered practical or feasible by the project proposer.
Also, if a mitigation area were created on -site, its functions and values would be substantially
depressed by the intensity of development that would surround it. Accordingly, in accordance with
WCA requirements, the project proponent has endeavored to locate project— specific off -site
mitigation as close to the impact site as possible. Per Minn. Rules 8420.0540 Subp. 4(A), the
project proponent has located potential suitable compensatory mitigation sites within the minor
subwatershed of the impact site. All of these sites are proposed to be located within the Rice
Creek Chain -of -Lakes Regional Park Reserve, within the drainage area of George Watch Lake.
The proposed wetland replacement will consist of a combination of New Wetland Credit (NWC)
and Public Value Credit (PVC). NWC will be in the form of created wetlands at three sites located
within the Chomonix Golf Course property and a fourth on county parkland south of the park
reserve campground, east of the Centerville Lake Beach. PVC will be in the form of upland
buffers around these created wetlands and the water quality treatment pond to be located on the
project site. A total of 7.48 acres of mitigation is being provided, consisting of 3.91 acres of NWC
and 3.57 acres of PVC. Table 2 summarizes the proposed wetland mitigation.

NWC Mitigation sites are described in more detail below.
Mitigation Areas A and B
Mitigation areas A and B will be in close proximity to each other, along the western fringe of the
1st fairway on Chomonix Golf Course. Mitigation Wetland A has been designed to be a
combination of seasonally to semi - permanently flooded palustrine emergent wetland (PEMC /F;
Circular 39 Type 3/4 shallow and deep marsh) running adjacent to a strip of upland forest that lies
immediately to the west. This mitigation area has been designed to provide 0.26 acres of NWC
and 0.18 acres of buffer PVC. The wetland and its buffer will be planted to native herbaceous
cover with shrub swamp vegetation being placed along the western tree line. The mixture of
species to be planted will be developed in coordination with the staffs of Anoka County Parks and
the applicable wetland regulatory agencies during the permitting process.
Mitigation Area B lies south of Area A and has been designed to be a semi - permanently flooded
palustrine emergent wetland (PEMF; Circular 39 Type 4 deep marsh providing 0.56 acres of NWC
and 0.45 acres of buffer PVC. This area will be contiguous to a forested wetland to the west and
Page 16 of 28
Draft EAW Lino Lakes Marketplace
May 11, 2001
• an existing excavated pond to the north. This area will be planted with native vegetation in the
same fashion as Mitigation Area A.
Mitigation Area C
Mitigation Area C will be seasonally to semi - permanently flooded palustrine emergent wetland
(PEMC /F; Circular 39 Type 3/4 shallow and deep marsh) that expands upon an existing Type 3/6
wetland south of the 15th fairway at Chomonix Golf Course. This site will provide approximately
0.25 acres of NWC and 0.13 acres of buffer PVC. The delineation of the existing wetland
boundary in this area was problematic due to abnormally high water conditions in the Spring of
2001; thus, the precise acreage of Area C may change slightly as the permitting process moves
forward. The mitigation design calls for a deeper open water core along the southeast edge with a
fringe of wet meadow and emergent marsh plants.
•
Mitigation Area E
Mitigation Area E will be largest of the four mitigation areas, providing 2.84 acres of NWC and
1.98 acres of buffer PVC. This area is located south of the Rice Creek Chain -of -Lakes Regional
Park Reserve campground and west of the Centerville Lake beach. This mitigation area has been
sited and designed both to replace wetland functions lost on the project site but also to provide an
environmental education facility for the nearby Wargo Nature Center.
Mitigation Area E will consist of a combination of palustrine emergent and forested wetlands with
a variety of hydrologic regimes (PFO1 B /C; Circular 39 Type 1L bottomland hardwoods and
PEMB /C /F; Circular 39 Types 2/3/4 wet meadow, shallow marsh and deep marsh). The created
wetland will be immediately contiguous to existing forested wetland that fringes George Watch
Lake. Due to the location of the site immediately adjacent to existing forested wetland, the
mitigation plan allows for the planting of tamarack and black ash as well as diverse herbaceous
plantings. The upland buffer areas have been placed designed to preserve a number of large
oaks on site. The buffer area will be replanted in species adapted to mesic prairie and savanna
landscapes. The design of Mitigation Area E is oriented toward use for environmental education
consistent with the goals of the regional park.
13. Water use. Will the project involve installation or abandonment of any water wells,
connection to or changes in any public water supply or appropriation of any ground or
surface water (including dewatering)? X Yes No
If yes, as applicable, give location and purpose of any new wells; public supply affected,
changes to be made, and water quantities to be used; the source, duration, quantity and
purpose of any appropriations; and unique well numbers and DNR appropriation permit
numbers, if known. Identify any existing and new wells on the site map. If there are no
wells known on site, explain methodology used to determine.
The installation of sanitary sewer, storm sewer and watermains may require some amount of spot
or isolated dewatering in order to install the underground systems. It is unknown at this time the
extent of this minor and short durational need.
The new development will connect to the City of Lino Lakes public water supply:
DNR Permit # 856168
14. Water - related land use management district. Does any part of the project involve a
shoreland zoning district, a delineated 100 -year flood plain, or a state or federally
designated wild or scenic river land use district? _Yes _X_No
• If yes, identify the district and discuss project compatibility with district land use
restrictions.

Shoreland: George Watch Lake is the nearest water body protected by a shoreland overlay
district. The ordinary high water level has not been determined for this lake, so the 1000 -ft.
shoreland district cannot be accurately determined. Lacking a determination of the OHWL, an
estimate was made based on discussion with the MN Dept. of Natural Resources. By viewing
aerial photographs and estimating the location of the edge of the cattails around George Watch
Lake., the City determined that the shoreland overlay does not extend onto the project site.
Floodplain: The project does have a small area near a culvert on the south property line
within the 100 -year flood plain of George Watch Lake.
The regional flood plain for the site is 886.9 MSL (1998 calibration study by the Rice Creek
Watershed District). There is a small amount of floodplain fill below this elevation (George Watch
Lake flood plain) in the southeast corner of the site. Quantification of floodplain fill and
compensatory storage measures below elevation 886.9 is required
The current grading plan necessitates filling approximately 90 cubic yards within the existing
floodplain. Compensation in the form of dredging and cleaning of the MnDOT drainage ditch is
recommended by the project proposer. Final review and approval of the grading plan by the Rice
Creek Watershed District is required.
15. Water surface use. Will the project change the number or type of watercraft on any
water body? Yes x No
If yes, indicate the current and projected watercraft usage and discuss any potential
overcrowding or conflicts with other uses.
16. Erosion and Sedimentation: Give the acreage to be graded or excavated and the cubic
yards of soil to be moved: approx 41 acres approx 130,000 cubic yards
Describe any steep slopes or highly erodible soils and identify them on the site map.
Describe the erosion and sedimentation measures to be used during and after
construction of the project.
There are no steep slopes on this site. Because the project will involve disturbance of more than
five acres of land, application for coverage under the NPDES General Permit for Construction
Activities will be submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and prior to initiating
earthwork on the site. The permit requires that best management practices (BMPs) be used to
control erosion and that all erosion controls be inspected after each rainfall exceeding 0.1 inch of
precipitation. Erosion control practices to be used on the site will include:
1. Construction of temporary sediment basins in the locations proposed for stormwater ponds,
and development of these basins for permanent use following construction.
2. Silt fence installed at the construction limits prior to the initiation of earth work and maintained
until all exposed soil is stabilized.
3. Installation of a rock construction entrance.
4. Periodic cleaning of adjacent city, county, and state roadways.
5. Energy dissipation, such as rip -rap, installed at storm sewer outfalls.
6. Use of cover crops, sod, and landscaping to stabilize exposed surface soils after final grading.
All erosion control plans will be reviewed by the City of Lino Lakes. Because the above BMPs will
be implemented, the potential for adverse affects from construction - related sediment and erosion
on water quality will be minimized to the extent practical.

17. Water quality: surface water runoff
a. Compare the quantity and quality of site runoff before and after the project. Describe
permanent controls to manage or treat runoff. Describe any stormwater pollution
prevention plans.
The existing site soil regime is of naturally high infiltration media. Drainage calculations for the
predevelopment 100 -year flood event computed a total site runoff of only 1.54 cfs. Post -
development runoff rates will be maintained at the pre - development rates by the addition of two
ponds and a bioretention basin.
Site grading will occur to facilitate construction of the SuperTarget Store and other retail shops,
construction of parking lots, depressed islands, planting beds; one water quality treatment pond,
creation of bio - swales and bio- retention basins.
In order to maintain the post - development runoff rates at the predevelopment rates a storage
pond with dry storage above the normal wet water level is planned on the site. Bio- retention
basins are located in the northeast and southeast corners of the site. The storm water treatment
pond is planned to have a wet storage volume of 13.5 acre -ft (National Urban Runoff Program
(NURP) wet volume required 5.5 acre -ft) and a dry storage capacity of 9.9 acre -ft and discharge
from the site through one each 2 -inch and 8 -inch diameter pipes. The smaller 2 -inch diameter is
to minimize storm water discharge for the one -year event to 0.05 cfs and the two pipes combined
limit the 100 -year event to 1.21 cfs. The storage depth will bounce for each of the various rainfall
frequency events with maximum depth of 5.0 feet in the 100 -year event.
b. Identify routes and receiving water bodies for runoff from the site; include major
downstream water bodies as well as the immediate receiving waters. Estimate impact
runoff on the quality of receiving waters.
Runoff from the proposed development currently drains to the north side of the I -35W drainage
ditch. A culvert under I -35W starts at the southeastern corner of the site and carries storm water
runoff south to a shallow creek and ultimately discharges to George Watch Lake.
After the site is developed, storm water will be routed through on -site storm water ponds designed
to meet NURP (Nationwide Urban Runoff Program), city of Lino Lakes, and Rice Creek
Watershed District criteria. Storm water rate control and treatment will occur prior to any water
being discharged into the George Watch Lake.
Converting from high infiltration soils to more than 28 acres of impervious surface will increase the
volume of runoff. While runoff rates will be maintained at pre - development rates, it is not known
what, if any, impact will result from the increased volume of runoff into the wetlands in the regional
park reserve and George Watch Lake.
The Metropolitan Council has prepared a list of "high priority lakes" for which a nutrient budget
analysis is required when a project discharges into them. Downstream from the site are George
Watch, Marshan, Rice, Baldwin, and Reshanau Lakes. Rondeau and Peltier Lakes are upstream
from George Watch Lake. The project discharges into George Watch Lake, which is not on the
priority list. However, George Watch Lake is included in a 1999 study of water quality, along with
113 other Metro lakes (Exhibit L). Though a nutrient budget analysis is not required, an analysis
was performed using Walker Pondnet methods. Anticipated phosphorus runoff loads from the
site are 22 Ibs per year in the existing (predevelopment) condition and 60 Ibs per year in the post
development condition, incorporating the treatment and reduction effects of the proposed National
Urban Runoff Program (NURP) ponds on site.

18. Water quality: wastewaters
a. Describe sources, composition and quantities of all sanitary, municipal and industrial
wastewater produced or treated at the site.
Only normal domestic sewage will be generated by the retail activity.
b. Describe waste treatment methods or pollution prevention efforts and give estimates of
composition after treatment. Identify receiving waters, including major downstream water
bodies, and estimate the discharge impact on the quality of receiving waters. If the project
involves on -site sewage systems, discuss the suitability of site conditions for such
systems.
c. If wastes will be discharged into a publicly owned treatment facility, identify the facility,
describe any pretreatment provisions and discuss the facility's ability to handle the
volume and composition of wastes, identifying any improvements necessary.
It has been determined that sanitary sewer flow generated by the development will not exceed
available capacity of the City of Lino Lakes sanitary sewer system.
d. If the project requires disposal of liquid animal manure, describe disposal technique and
location and discuss capacity to handle the volume and composition of manure. Identify
any improvements necessary. Describe any required setbacks for land disposal systems.
Not Applicable.
19. Geologic hazards and Soil Conditions:
a. Approximate depth (in feet) to: Minimum average
Ground Water 2 feet 15 -20 feet
Bedrock N/A N/A
Describe any of the following geologic site hazards to ground water and also identify them
on the site map: sinkholes, shallow limestone formations or karst conditions. Describe
measures to avoid or minimize environmental problems due to any of these hazards.
Not Applicable.
b. Describe the soils on the site, giving NRCS (SCS) classifications, if known. Discuss soil
granularity and potential for groundwater contamination from wastes or chemicals spread
or spilled onto the soils. Discuss any mitigation measures to prevent such contamination.
Soils on site include primarily 4 -5 layers of silty sand (SM) and sand with silt (SP -SM).
Geotechnical exploration was conducted by American Engineering and Testing. The complete
soils report is provided in Exhibit E.
The final site will largely be covered with buildings and parking surface, with storm water being
directed to retention ponds and a bio- filtration basin. Infiltration will therefore be Tess than under
existing conditions.
20. Solid wastes, hazardous wastes, storage tanks
a. Describe types, amounts and compositions of solid or hazardous wastes, including
solid animal manure, sludge and ash, produced during construction and operation.
Identify method and location of disposal. For projects generating municipal solid waste,
indicate if there is a source separation plan; describe how the project will be modified for
recycling. If hazardous waste is generated, indicate if there is a hazardous waste
minimization plan and routine hazardous waste reduction assessments.

• Only municipal solid waste (MSW) will be generated by the retail activity. Any recycling will be
undertaken by individual tenants of the development. Target has an aggressive program to reduce
waste and promote recycling. The store will have one 42 cubic yard internally loaded compactor
and a corrugated materials baler for paper recycling. The store is expected to generate 32,000 —
64,000 lbs. of trash per month and 18,000 lbs. of recyclable corrugated material per week.

Solid waste disposal is not a service of the City /County, but Applicant will contract with private
solid waste disposal vendor. Solid waste and recycling will be with the Anoka County Integrated
Waste Management services.
Any retailer selling oil or lead acid batteries must comply with applicable requirements for
accepting used oil and batteries. (See Exhibit F)
b. Identify any toxic or hazardous materials to be used or present at the site and identify
measures to be used to prevent them from contaminating groundwater. If the use of toxic
or hazardous materials will lead to a regulated waste, discharge or emission, discuss any
alternatives considered to minimize or eliminate the waste, discharge or emission.
No toxic or hazardous materials are expected to be used or present as part of the retail activities
of the project. Some toxic materials will be sold through the retail businesses and approved
methods of handling and storage of these materials are required.
c. Indicate the number, location, size and use of any above or below ground tanks to store
petroleum products or other materials, except water. Describe any emergency response
containment plans.
Not Applicable.

•
2. Road widening at Lake Drive /I -35W southbound ramps to accommodate a dedicated
northbound turn lane.
3. Road widening at Lake Drive /I -35W northbound ramps to accommodate a dedicated
southbound turn lane.
4. Prohibition of left turns and through movements from east and westbound 77th Street.
22. Vehicle related air emissions: Provide an estimate of the effect of the project's traffic
generation on air quality, including carbon monoxide levels. Discuss the effect of traffic
improvements or other mitigation measures on air quality impacts. (If project involves 500
or more parking spaces, consult "EAW Guidelines" about whether a detailed air quality
analysis is needed.)
An air quality analysis was conducted for the indirect source permit application. The analysis was
conducted using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved models to assess impacts from
carbon monoxide (CO) emissions generated by traffic one year after completion of the proposed
project. Results of the air quality analysis indicate that after the project is completed, state CO
standards will continue to be maintained. The maximum predicted 1- and 8 -hour average CO
impacts, including monitored background concentrations, are 7.9 parts per million (ppm) and 5.5
ppm, respectively.
Further details can be found in Appendix D of the air quality analysis from the Indirect Source
Permit application cited above. The Indirect Source Permit application is provided in Exhibit H.
23. Stationary source air emissions. Describe the type, sources, quantities and
compositions of any emissions from stationary sources of air emissions such as boilers,
exhaust stacks or fugitive dust sources. Include any hazardous air pollutants (consult
EAW Guidelines for a listing) and any greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide,
methane, nitrous oxide) and ozone - depleting chemicals (chloro- fluorocarbons,
hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons or sulfur hexafluoride). Also describe any proposed
pollution prevention techniques and proposed air pollution control devices. Describe the
impacts on air quality.
Stationary sources of air emissions will include only natural gas space heaters. The emissions
from these units will not have a significant impact on the ambient air quality.
24. Odors, noise and dust. Will the project generate odors, noise or dust during
construction or during operation? X Yes No
If yes, describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities or intensity and any proposed
measures to mitigate adverse impacts. Also identify locations of nearby sensitive
receptors and estimate impacts on them. Discuss potential impacts on human health or
quality of life. (Note: fugitive dust generated by operations may be discussed at item 23
instead of here.)
Dust
During construction, particular emissions will temporarily increase due to the generation of fugitive
dust. The following dust control measures will be undertaken as necessary:
1. Minimize the period and extent of areas being exposed and regraded at any one time.
2. Spraying construction areas and all roads with water, especially during periods of high
wind or high levels of construction activity.
3. Minimize the use of vehicles on unpaved surfaces.
4. Covering or spraying material piles and /or truck loads.

Noise
A noise impact analysis was completed as part of the Indirect Source Permit (ISP) application for
this project. The ISP is provided in Exhibit H. The project has the potential to generate noise from
four types of sources:
1. construction activities,
2. additional traffic generated by the project,
3. loading dock trucks, and
4. roof -top fans.
Minnesota Noise Standards
Minnesota Rules Chapter 7030 provide the Minnesota standards for noise. These standards
describe the limiting levels of sound established on the basis of present knowledge for the
preservation of health and welfare. These standards are designed to be consistent with sleep,
speech, annoyance, and hearing conservation requirements for receivers within areas grouped
according to land use activities. The Minnesota standards are as follows:
NAC -1 (Residential)
NAC -2 (Commercial)
NAC -3 (Industrial)
7:00 AM to 10:00 PM 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM
L10 L50
65 60
70 65
80 75
L10 Lso
55 50
70 65
80 75
L10 means the sound level which is exceeded for 10 percent of the time for a one -hour period. Lso
means the sound level which is exceeded 50 percent of the time for a one -hour period. Sound
levels are expressed in dBA. A dBA is a unit of sound level expressed in decibels and weighted
for the purpose of determining the human response to sound.
Minnesota Statutes, Section 116.07, Subd. 2a, exempt noise from most local and county roads
from the requirements of these noise rules unless full control of access to the road has been
acquired.
Construction Noise
Construction noise will be controlled by ensuring that all equipment has proper noise reduction
devices. In addition, construction activities will occur only during daytime hours, as required by
City of Lino Lakes Ordinance 04 -96 that specifies hour of operation from lam to 8pm (weekdays)
and gam to 7pm (weekends and holidays).
Traffic Noise - I -35W Noise
The small relative amount of traffic increase on I -35W due to this project will not result in a
measurable change in noise generated from the highway. Homes along 77th Street where I -35W
is the major noise source, will see some reduction in noise levels from the interstate due to the
barrier effect of the project buildings. SBP used the traffic -noise model Minnoise to determine the
potential effect of these buildings on noise levels along 77th Street. The analysis predicted a 1 -2
dBA reduction in I -35W traffic noise at residential locations near 77th Street due to the barrier
effect of the project buildings.
The following table shows the results of the Minnoise modeling for the two modeled 77th Street
receptors:

The closing of 77th Street will also reduce traffic noise on the 77th Street locations.
Traffic Noise - Lake Drive Noise
SBP used traffic predictions for 2005 from the TKDA traffic report in order to predict the noise
impacts of the additional traffic on Lake Drive. The following table shows the 2005 peak -hour
traffic levels at segments of Lake Drive with and without the proposed project, and the resulting
increase in noise level.

Any potential noise level increases due to increased traffic along Lake Drive near the project
entrance and I -35W will be offset by the introduction of traffic signals causing traffic to slow, and
thereby reducing tire noise.
Loading Dock Noise
The major source of noise from the loading docks will be from the refrigeration units mounted on
some of the delivery trucks serving the facility. Super Value, the supplier of the refrigerated foods
to the proposed SuperTarget, will be utilizing the Thermo King "Whisper" units. Data from Thermo
King indicates these units produce 71 dBA at 25 feet when at high speed. For one truck with a
refrigeration unit this equates to 61 dBA at 220 feet, the distance to the nearest home. For two
trucks this equates to 52 dBA and for 4 trucks this equates to 58 dBA. Minnesota daytime
standards limit noise levels at residences to 65 dBA for 6 minutes in any hour, and 60 dBA for 30
minutes in any hour. An additional 2 -3 dBA could be added to these impacts due to the reflection
from the wall.
The refrigeration units could, however, exceed night standards. In addition to the refrigeration
units, loading dock activity could cause negative impacts on nearby residential property if loading
occurs at night. Whether or not it exceeds the MPCA noise standards, noise that could awaken
neighbors should be avoided. Hours of loading dock activity must be addressed.
Roof -Top Unit Noise
Roof -top HVAC equipment will generate noise from the proposed buildings. The equipment must
be selected, installed and operated to assure compliance with the Minnesota noise standards.
25. Are any of the following resources on or in proximity to the site:
a. Archaeological, historical, or architectural resources? See discussion below.
b. Prime or unique farmlands? No
c. Designated parks, recreation areas, or trails? Yes
d. Scenic views and vistas? No
e. Other unique resources? Yes
If any items are answered Yes, describe the resource and identify any impacts on the
resource due to the project. Describe any measures to be taken to minimize or avoid
adverse impacts.
a. The proposed project was submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and was
reviewed pursuant to responsibilities assigned them through the Minnesota Historic Sites Act, the
Minnesota Field Archaeology Act, and Minnesota rules 4410.1600. A previously- recorded
prehistoric archaeological site is located in the project area. The SHPO recommended the site be
evaluated in order to determine whether it meets National Register criteria. Loucks Associates
Page 24 of 28
Draft EAW Lino Lakes Marketplace
May 11, 2001
11111 completed this evaluation. The complete evaluation is provided in Exhibit I. The report
recommended that the project proceed as planned with the following qualifications:
1. Archaeological field testing was performed only within the area of potential effect for the
project as proposed. If this area is expanded beyond these limits, additional
archaeological testing may be required.
2. If it is expected that archaeological materials are encountered during construction
operations, the State Historic Preservation Officer should be contacted for further
assistance.
3. If it is suspected that human remains or a burial area is encountered during construction
or quarry operations, activity in the immediate area must cease and the Anoka County
Sheriffs Office, the State Archaeologist and the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council should
be contacted for further assistance. Minnesota Statutes Chapter 307.08 prohibits the
intentional disturbance of human burials.
c. Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve is located on the opposite side of Interstate
35W from the site. The Park Reserve, owned and managed by Anoka County, is part of the
regional open space system. The park contains some of the most significant native wildlife
habitat in the metropolitan area. The park contains a blue heron rookery with reported flights in
vicinity of the project site. Per conversation with John Von Delinde, Anoka County Parks and
Recreation Department, it is believed that the blue heron rookery relocated to an unknown area
due to construction noise related to the reconstruction of I -35W in the spring and summer of 1999
and 2000.
A new beach, picnic areas, and boat launch facilities were opened in June 2000. Also, a new
section of bike trail traverses the park for four miles, linking with trails in the cities of Lino Lakes
and Centerville. Because of the Interstate 35W separation, impact on park activities will not be
significant.
Potential surface water impacts are discussed in Item 17. As noted there, while runoff rates will
be maintained at pre - development rates, it is not known what, if any, impact will result from the
increased volume of runoff into the wetlands in the regional park reserve and George Watch
Lake.
e. The site grading activities will result in the removal of 21 Tamarack trees from the property.
Specific to this action, sixty -seven (67) Tamarack trees will be planted in the northwest and east
areas of the site, surrounding and in the bio- retention basins. The Tree Preservation Plan is
provided in Exhibit K.
26. Visual impacts. Will the project create adverse visual impacts during construction or
operation? Such as glare from intense lights, lights visible in wilderness areas and large
visible plumes from cooling towers or exhaust stacks? Yes x No
If yes, explain.
All building and parking lot lighting will have downcast recessed or boxed lighting fixtures that will
not cause glare to the adjacent residential areas. No cooling towers are planned for this project.
Exhaust stacks will be limited to small stacks from natural gas space heaters.
27. Compatibility with plans: Is the project subject to an adopted local comprehensive land
use plan or any other applicable land use, water, or resource management plan of a local,
regional, state, or federal agency?
Page 25 of 28
Draft EAW Lino Lakes Marketplace
May 11, 2001
• If yes, describe the plan, discuss its compatibility with the project and explain how any
conflicts will be resolved. If no, explain.
Yes. The City of Lino Lakes has an existing comprehensive plan which includes a land use plan.
The City is nearing approval of a new comprehensive plan to guide development in the City
through year 2020. Both plans guide the site for commercial land uses. As described in more
detail in item 9, the site has been guided and zoned for retail development since 1990. The
project is compatible with the land use designation in the existing plan and draft new
comprehensive plan.
The City also has a surface water management plan that must be consistent with the larger plan
for the Rice Creek Watershed District. All development projects are reviewed for consistency with
surface water management policies. The City works closely with the Watershed District in
reviewing projects. The City's policy is to require approval by the Watershed District before the
City will approve the project.
28. Impact on Infrastructure and Public Services:
Will new or expanded utilities, roads, other infrastructure, or public services be required to
serve the project? If yes, describe the new or additional infrastructure / services needed.
(Any infrastructure that is a "connected action" with respect to the project must be
assessed in this "EAW "; see "EAW Guidelines" for details.)
City water and sanitary sewer are available in Lake Drive and will be extended into the site.
Traffic signal and roadway improvements will be necessary. See item 21.
29. Cumulative impacts. Minnesota Rule part 4410.1700, subpart 7, item B requires that
the RGU consider the "cumulative potential effects of related or anticipated future
projects" when determining the need for an environmental impact statement. Identify any
past, present or reasonably foreseeable future projects that may interact with the project
described in this EAW in such a way as to cause cumulative impacts. Describe the nature
of the cumulative impacts and summarize any other available information relevant to
determining whether there is potential for significant environmental effects due to
cumulative impacts (or discuss each cumulative impact under appropriate item(s)
elsewhere on this form).
Additional commercial development is expected adjacent to the project site. Abutting land on the
southern border of the project site is approximately 10 acres of land guided and zoned for
commercial development. This land is controlled by another entity and is not being developed as
part of the proposed project. The 10 acres runs along the freeway and forms a rough triangle
shape.
The traffic study used by this EAW included an estimate of 33,000 sf of small retail and restaurant
on this 10 acres. This would require approximately 280 parking stalls. Compared to the larger
project currently being proposed, this additional retail space would make up 10% additional retail
square footage and 16% additional parking. (Restaurants, especially fast food restaurants,
require a much higher parking ratio than retail.) Corresponding increases in traffic could be
expected. These traffic impacts are included in the TKDA traffic study, Exhibit G. Additional
stormwater ponding would be necessary.
Future development on this 10 acres is not by the same project proposer as the current project.
Nor is either project directly induced by the other or a prerequisite for the other. Each is justified by
Page 26 of 28
Draft EAW Lino Lakes Marketplace
May 11, 2001
• itself. Therefore, the current project and the future development on the adjacent 10 acres are
neither phased actions nor connected actions.
30. Other potential environmental impacts. If the project may cause any adverse
environmental impacts not addressed by items 1 to 28, identify and discuss them here,
along with any proposed mitigation.
None identified at this time.
31. Summary of issues. Do not complete this section if the EAW is being done for EIS
scoping; instead, address relevant issues in the draft Scoping Decision document, which
must accompany the EAW. List any impacts and issues identified above that may require
further investigation before the project is begun. Discuss any alternatives or mitigative
measures that have been or may be considered for these impacts and issues, including
those that have been or may be ordered as permit conditions.
Plant Communities: The proposed project will primarily affect formerly cultivated old fields, a
small stand of mixed forest with old field openings and one partially drained wetland. The project
site encompasses no undisturbed plant communities.
Wildlife: The proposed project will result in a reduction in habitat available for wildlife species
common to suburban environments. Accordingly, wildlife populations on the project site will be
reduced. None of the affected species will incur significant population -level impacts and none are
in danger of becoming uncommon due to the proposed project.
Threatened and Endangered Species: Not applicable.
Wetlands: The project will entail the filling of 2.84 acres and excavation of 1.15 acres of partially
drained wetland. These impacts are proposed to be offset through the off-site mitigation
consisting of 3.91 acres of created wetland (NWC), 2.73 acres of upland buffer (PVC) and 0.84
acre of water quality treatment pond (PVC). The proposed mitigation is within the same
subwatershed as the proposed impacts and exceeds federal, state and local mitigation
requirements.
Traffic: The increase in traffic is proposed to be accommodated with new traffic signals, stop
signs, and the modification of existing traffic signals. The Indirect Source Permit Application for
the project has been submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and includes these
additions and modifications.
Archaeology: The proposed project was submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO) and was reviewed pursuant to responsibilities assigned them through the Minnesota
Historic Sites Act, the Minnesota Field Archaeology Act, and Minnesota rules 4410.1600. A
previously- recorded prehistoric archaeological site is located in the project area. The SHPO
recommended the site be evaluated in order to determine whether it meets National Register
criteria. Loucks Associates completed this evaluation. The complete evaluation is provided in
Exhibit I. The report recommended that the project proceed as planned.

AGENDA ITEM 7 G
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser
P & Z MEETING DATE: May 29, 2001
TOPIC: Site & Building Plan Review
MN Dept. of Corrections
BACKGROUND
The Minnesota Dept. of Corrections plans to construct a pole barn for vehicle storage on its site.
The building will be outside of the prisoner compound but within a separate fenced area. The
City of Lino Lakes has no legal zoning jurisdiction over State of Minnesota land. Therefore, the
Dept. of Corrections is not obligated to submit this project for City review. However, the Dept.
has done so as a courtesy.
This report includes details from the large plan sheet that includes a site plan, floor plan, and
building elevations, dated 04/1/2001.
ANALYSIS
The correctional facility is zoned PSP Public Semi - Public. Pole barns and metal buildings are
allowed in this zone. The site includes over 100 acres, so no limit on the size of accessory
buildings would apply. The fenced area where the building will be added is approximately 1000
feet from the nearest property line.
The pole barn building is 40' x 72', with a footprint of 2880 sf. The building will be
approximately 22' high.
The building site is screened from properties on Lilac Drive to the north by a large forested area.
Significant tree growth also serves to screen properties to the west along Patti Drive.
No additional access road or driveway onto a public road is needed. No connection to City
utilities is needed.
The Dept. of Corrections has provided this information as a courtesy, and asks for comments
from the City.
For information purposes, the Dept. of Corrections often delegates building code enforcement to
the City through a special agreement. This allows the City to collect building permit fees to
cover review and inspection costs. We anticipate this will occur for this building.
The P & Z had no adverse comments on this project at its May 9 meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
If the City Council has comments, staff will convey them to the Dept. of Corrections.
