There are two types of licenses, private and commercial. A private license is required to keep more than two but not more than four adult dogs for private pets with no sale of animals intended. A commercial license is required to keep more than two adult dogs for other purposes such as breeding, boarding, grooming or any merchandising. To obtain either a private or commercial kennel license, it is required that the property where the kennel would be located be approved for a conditional use permit. The Planning and Zoning Board holds a public hearing, with notification to area property owners, on the conditional use only. If a conditional use permit is approved, an application for a license can then be submitted. Margo Polta, 575 Ash Street, was granted a conditional use permit by the City on September 11, 2006. Ms. Polta then submitted an application for a private kennel facility on her property. Based on the requirements of the city code, the Police Department conducted an investigation of Ms. Polta's property and completed the attached checklist indicating the applicant's conformance to the licensing requirements. It is the recommendation of the Police Department that Ms. Polta be granted a private kennel license. The code also requires that a public hearing be held by the City Council or Planning and Zoning Board relative to the issuance of a kennel license. The application and background information is on file in the City Clerk's Office for review. OPTIONS: 1. Approve Resolution No. 07 -25, application for a Private Kennel license to Margo Polta. 2.

MEETING DATE: February 12, 2007 TOPIC: Resolution No. 07 -21 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Hodgson Road/CR J Master Plan BACKGROUND We have been working the past two years on a study of the land and infrastructure around the intersection of Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) and County Road J (Ash Street). The goal is a planning document that will be adopted by the City Council as the guide for development of the area by incorporating it into the City's Comprehensive Plan. This requires an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, which is described in the body and exhibits of Resolution 07 -21. We have known for some time that the infrastructure in the Hodgson/Co Rd J area was insufficient to support the expected development. Only a few properties have sanitary sewer service through a Shoreview connection that is not available to additional properties. No water service currently exists in the area. The Hodgson/Co Rd J intersection functions poorly during peak periods from a traffic standpoint. We began the study in late 2004. We held an open house in March 2005 and discussed an initial concept plan. We received good information and comments from the land owners and residents in the area. A set of working concepts followed in June 2005. Detailed research into the potential utility alignments followed, along with a series of meetings with the Anoka County Highway Dept. about signalizing the intersection, other road improvements, and access points. The Planning & Zoning Board received an update in December 2005, as did the City Council in January 2006. The Economic Development Advisory Committee and the P & Z discussed the project in November 2006. We held another open house on November 15, 2006. The two attached memos summarize the comments and discussion that occurred. Under state statute, the Planning & Zoning Board must hold a public hearing and make a recommendation before the City Council can act on an amendment to the comprehensive plan. The P & Z held the public hearing on December 13, 2006. The P & Z then had a special work session on January 4, 2007 to consider the matter further. At the January 10 meeting, the Board voted to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment to incorporate the Master Plan. • • • Staff will present the study document including background, issues, and the proposed Master Plan that addresses the current and future infrastructure needs. The amendment of the Comprehensive Plan would include the Master Plan section of the document, including the Planning and Development Objectives and the figures at the end of the document. These would be inserted into the Comprehensive Plan in the Planning District 4 section. In addition, there will be a statement referring to the complete study document for background information. OPTIONS 1. Approve Resolution 07 -21 amending the Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the Hodgson/CR J Master Plan into the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Return to staff with direction.

KraII. AIA Notes from Nov 15, 2006 Community Open House, Hodgson Rd & Co. Rd J Master Plan The Open House on November 15, 2006 had over 60 attendees by visual count (42 signed in); there were 6 display boards exhibited including: 1. aerial photo of study area with photos of the existing commercial properties 2. final draft of proposed master plan 3. alternate master plan, incorporating a "big box" (grocery or similar use) 4. rendered sketch of the CR J and Hodgson NW corner 5. rendered sketch of the CR J and Hodgson NE corner 6. rendered sketch of the new proposed intersection on Hodgson Rd. Jeff Smyser, City Planner, gave an introduction to the project, noting that the study has been underway for just over 2 years, and that there was a previous public Open House in March 2005. He noted that it has taken a long time to develop a workable strategy for providing the infrastructure (sewer, water, roads) needed to further develop this area. He described the proposed improvements to the CR J and Hodgson Rd intersection and the compromise reached with the County on the location of a new intersection north of the intersection on Hodgson Rd. Jeff also introduced Carolyn Krall, AIA , the consulting planner and urban designer, who briefly described the master plan. The discussion was opened up to questions and then the public was invited to look at the exhibits, talk to the planning team and submit comment sheets. There were several initial questions: 1. How was the public notified? Some attendees were not aware of the study going on. Jeff responded that there was a notice in the local papers (and an article), it was posted on the City web site, and a written notice was mailed to all property owners within 600 ft of the study area. 2. How much infrastructure work is there and can it be phased? Jeff responded that whatever is put in (sewer for instance) needs to accommodate the master plan, so the work doesn't need to be redone in a few years; it is anticipate that the new development's pay for the bulk of the infrastructure needed to serve their developments. Then several property owners expressed a desire to talk to each other directly, rather than directing comments or questions to the planning team. Wendy Fritz expressed her frustration with how long the planning process has taken. She is eager to develop her family's property (17 acres, NW portion of study area) and invited attendees to tell her their ideas or concerns directly, so they can be considered and the planning moved forward. * Landform Engineering Company doing business as Landform Page 1 - 5 5 - • The discussion, comments and questions which followed included: 3. One resident commended City efforts to master plan, noted that the City is investing resources to allow changes to be made and therefore urged careful consideration before approving a plan. 4. Appreciation was expressed for the range of life cycle housing types included in the plan; would like to see some of them be affordable housing. 5. Several residents expressed concern about the impact of traffic on this neighborhood; while the County roads need to be improved, if they are too wide they will divide the neighborhood; trails and pedestrian improvements should be included to help maintain connectivity; 6. One resident asked about development standards; likes that the plan includes guidelines for design; lighting should be addressed so commercial development doesn't impact adjacent neighborhoods. January 30, 2007 7. Questions were asked about the MUSA line — will it be expanded to include the entire study area? Again concerned expressed about the impact of new utilities on existing property owners (cost or assessments, disruption). 8. A Shoreview resident raised objections to the potential realignment of Ware Rd; instead they are proposing a cul -de -sac to terminate Ware Rd. and reduce traffic into the southern neighborhood. 9. One resident expressed appreciation for a capitalist society where property rights are respected, and so each property owner can decide whether to develop, or keep things as they are; but another expressed concern that the plan would limit his future land use. Staff noted that the comprehensive plan and existing zoning already limits land uses and future development. 10. One resident said a master plan was needed to obtain higher quality development, which this corner needs; another agreed that the intersection should be improved and the corner redeveloped, but disagreed with additional development in the study area. 11. There was a question raised about a moratorium; staff clarified that there is no moratorium on development in this area, but that development hasn't proceeded because of the lack of adequate utilities. 12. There was also a question raised about a "vacation notice ". Staff clarified this issue, which had to do with inspections and a question about whether an expanding auto storage area was extending over the property line (it isn't). 13. Property owners wanted to know when existing driveway accesses would be removed, and how and when the "backage road" (on the east side of Hodgson behind the commercial area) would be built. Staff replied that would be phased with development. 14. The Ware Rd corner property owner (and potential developer) would like to see that road moved into the commercial area, rather than acting as a divider between the commercial and residential areas. 15. Several residents expressed concern about the renovation of the 49 Club (construction trucks have been out front in recent days) and would support for eliminating that building and redeveloping the corner as the master plan shows. The meeting was concluded with encouragement to look at the boards and speak with the team, to submit written comments (see summary memo), and a reminder that the plan is scheduled to be at the next P & Z meeting for a public hearing on December 13, 2006.

The Plan has s;gnificant and long -term ramifications for our neighborhood and the surrounding communities. You recognize the potential impact future development would have on the abutting neighborhoods. We are in favor of the Board adopting the Master plan as drafted. We would object to any changes at this late hour that would jeopardize all the cities work to this point. In your planning and development objectives, found on pages 31 -36 of the Master Plan, many important criteria have been taken into consideration. There include: • Plan for redevelopment while recognizing the existing businesses. • Establishing the "cornerstones" of the intersection corners in urban form. • Preserving the integrity of the neighborhoods and the community. Keeping the area neighborhood friendly. • Encourage pedestrian traffic rather than vehicular traffic in the developed areas. • Pedestrian circulation should be an important design and must be circulation safe and aesthetically pleasing • Keep green space buffering as an important design element for the new development with bordering neighborhoods. • The intent is to create an urban forum. One that a v oids lining Hodgson Rd. with large parking lots. • Parking areas should be divided into small areas with extensive landscaping to preserve the neighborhood feeling. • Buildings must be designed with 4 -sided architecture. The design of current and future developments should be coordinated. • Planning the area must look forward to full development so one project is not allowed "to use up capacity" so other sites cannot develop without creating the need for additional signal lights. • Quantity of development will be limited to ensure that traffic generated on Hodgson Rd., the County Rd J intersection, or the new access, does not exceed capacities or create a need for a traffic signal at the full access . • One full access centered on the property would allow a circulation route to be created. • • • • We firmly agree with the statement made at the January 4th workshop meeting. The Master Plan guides the future development. One development or developer should not determine the Master Plan." The intersection of Hodgson and Cnty Rd J is our only opportunity to establish a southern "Gateway" fostering the "City as a Park" Concept as stated in the 20/20 vision plan. If we loose this opportunity to establish this gateway to our beautiful city of Lino Lakes, it will be lost forever. We urge you to accept this Master Plan Concept tonight. We will be one of many neighborhoods affected by this Plan. We appreciate that several of your Master Plan objectives will help "Preserve, Protect, and Enhance property values" as stated in the 20/20 vision plan. Thank you!.

The overall purpose of this meeting was to discuss the transportation improvements needed to accommodate the potential redevelopment of this area. This potential redevelopment did include two options, including one that provides some land area for "big box" retail. The City of Shoreview does have concerns regarding the impact "big box" retail may have on the transportation network. It is our understanding that any redevelopment of this area would instigate roadway improvements in the immediate area, including the redesign and permanent signalization of the Highway 49 /County Road J intersection. Though these improvements may adequately manage traffic in the immediate area, Shoreview does have concerns regarding the potential downstream impacts. That portion of Highway 49 south of County Road J is currently constructed as a two - lane roadway and is under the jurisdiction of Ramsey County. Ramsey County is beginning a formal multi -city visioning process to look at potential roadway improvements for the Highway 49 Corridor from Highway 36 to County Road J. The City does not expect the segment -of Highway 49 south of County Road J to be prioritized for improvements; nor is funding currently available to improve this roadway segment. The City does have significant concerns regarding the potential traffic impacts "big box" retail development will have on the capacity of Highway 49 south of the redevelopment area. The City prefers redevelopment be limited to housing and retail uses that serve the immediate neighborhood so as not to negatively impact the function of Highway 49 or the surrounding neighborhoods. Please pass these comments along to your Planning Commission and City Council members. You may contact me at 651- 490 -4682 or via e -mail at knordine 2 ci.shoreview.mn.us if you have any questions. Sincerely, Kathleen 1 ordine City Planner c. Mark Maloney. Public Works Director Tom Simonson, Community Development Director Dan Soler, Ramsey County • Council Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 07-21 A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO INCORPORATE THE HODGSON ROAD /COUNTY ROAD J MASTER PLAN INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes has adopted a Comprehensive Plan to guide community growth in a rational and responsible manner through 2020; and WHEREAS, MN Statutes 462.355 authorizes the governing body to amend the comprehensive municipal plan; and WHEREAS, the City has prepared the Hodgson Road/Co. Rd. J Master Plan to provide guidance for future development of the study area; and WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on • December 13, 2006 and recommended that the City Council approve the Comprehensive Plan amendment on January 10, 2007; and • WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the Hodgson Road/Co. Rd. J Master Plan and Comprehensive Plan amendment promotes the following public purposes, which are listed in the Mixed Use section of the Comprehensive Plan: a) provision of housing unit variety that contributes toward meeting housing goals, such as medium density, high - density, and mixed -use developments in locations designated for them in the comprehensive plan The Policy Plan section of the comprehensive plan includes the following residential goals: 1. Provide a healthy variety of housing types, styles and choices to meet the changing life cycle needs of the Lino Lakes Population. 3. Promote multiple family housing alternatives as an attractive life cycle housing option. By changing the land use designation from Commercial to Mixed Use in the specified area, the amendment will allow for a variety of residential development in an area near land guided for Medium Density Residential use. The new Mixed Use area allows for mixed use development that would not be allowed with the Commercial land use designation. • • • b) provision of infrastructure that will provide benefits beyond the project site, in accordance with City transportation, sewer, or water plans, that is not financially feasible without the project The Hodgson/Co. Rd. J Master Plan lays out a transportation framework to guide future planning. This includes a local circulation system that provides access to areas within the study area to avoid relying entirely on arterial roads for property access and traffic movement. The Master Plan also lays out options for municipal utilities (water and sanitary sewer) and directs that they will be designed and constructed as development occurs to ensure service to all properties within the study area. and WHEREAS, the City Council fmds that the Hodgson Road/Co. Rd. J Master Plan and Comprehensive Plan amendment, by establishing a framework for development and specific site design objectives, implements the following existing recommendation in the Planning District 4 section of the Comprehensive Plan: 10. The commercial land uses within District 4 are located near major street intersections. The commercial locations are oriented to serving the nearby neighborhoods. In this respect, the City will regulate future commercial development to control land use intensity and establish both site and building designs that will be compatible with the surrounding residential uses. Attention will be given to site design, building architecture, green space, setbacks, access, signage and lighting to create attractive commercial locations. and WHEREAS, the City Council fmds that the Hodgson Road/Co. Rd. J Master Plan and Comprehensive Plan amendment, by establishing locations for access to arterial roads and a local circulation system, implements the following existing recommendations in the Planning District 4 section of the Comprehensive Plan: 12. The City will work to establish a hierarchy of streets to improve traffic circulation throughout District 4. Street planning efforts will include: b. Maintain Hodgson Road and County Road J as "A" minor arterial streets. With this functional classification, the right -of -way width and roadway design should promote traffic movement and limit direct site access. and WHEREAS, the City Council fmds that the Hodgson Road/Co. Rd. J Master Plan and Comprehensive Plan amendment promotes the implementation of the Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan, which is itself an element of the Comprehensive Plan. - 6 6 - Resolution 07 -21, page 2 • • NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Lino Lakes hereby approves the following amendments to the Comprehensive Plan: The Proposed Land Use Plan is amended to change the land use designations for specific properties as shown on the attached map "Proposed Amended Land Use Plan, Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan (Detail)" (Exhibit A).

HODGSON ROAD /COUNTY ROAD J MASTER PLAN The following includes the conclusions and planning objectives from the Hodgson Road & CR J Master Planning Study. The complete study document should be referred to for background information. The Master Plan is the culmination of a study process. The Master Plan is intended to establish a general land use design with some specifics, such as road alignments, access points, and specified important design elements. It is not intended to drive out existing businesses. The Master Plan does not mandate the exact site layout or specific uses of individual parcels. However, because infrastructure design is the driving force of the study, individual parcel design must take into account the infrastructure needs for the larger study area. In addition, the plan specifies some fundamental design elements in specified locations to provide a common framework for all development in the area. Both the Master Plan drawing and the accompanying Planning and Development Objectives should be considered together to guide decisions on development. While recognizing the importance of the Land Use Map, it's important to acknowledge the realities of land development. Future development may involve assembling several land parcels. Site layouts may need some flexibility to ensure efficient design and safety, especially in creating access locations and internal circulation. In addition, natural features don't follow linear property boundaries. Because of these and other factors, the actual boundaries on the Proposed Land Use Map should be considered somewhat flexible in order to accommodate development or redevelopment proposals within the study area. That is, a development plan that differs from the land use map in minor ways should not be rejected automatically as inconsistent with the map. The Master Plan includes important amendments to the Proposed Land Use Map in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Map is the guide for development in the city and the study area should develop with the land uses as shown on the map. Mixed use development is becoming more and more common, and the Hodgson /CR J area is a good location for it. The west side of Hodgson already is guided Mixed Use. The Master Plan recommends that the east side area currently guided Commercial be amended to Mixed Use. This would allow for, though not mandate, the inclusion of residential units, possibly in multi -story buildings. This would provide customers for the commercial development, and the commercial services would be convenient to the residents. There are a few specific locations that deserve attention from the perspective of the Proposed Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning map. These minor inconsistencies should be addressed with the amendment of the Land Use Map. - 6 9 - Resolution No. 07 -21 EXHIBIT B page 1 • • In the extreme southwest corner of the study area is a parcel forming a narrow strip that runs northwest/southeast. This parcel is guided for residential land use but zoned General Business. The narrow strip is not useable by itself and must be incorporated into the redevelopment of the abutting property. The land use map should be amended to include this piece in the Mixed Use land use category. Any future development review will examine rezoning needs. On the north edge of the study area, a parcel between Hodgson and Ware Roads is guided Commercial on the Hodgson side but the area east of the wetland is guided for Medium Density Residential. As noted above, the western portion should be guided Mixed Use. The specifics of the site — especially a wetland delineation— likely will determine how far development will extend east. Allowing for a flexible edge of the land uses, as recommended above, will allow a design that is sensitive to the natural resources. Any future development review will examine rezoning needs. On the Ware Road side of the study area, a parcel is guided both Medium Density Residential and Low Density Sewered Residential. How or even if development will occur there is unknown. For consistency, the entire parcel should be guided Medium Density. Any future development review will examine rezoning needs. Planning and Development Objectives General • This Master Plan is to be incorporated into the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan with an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. This includes amendments to the Proposed Land Use Map: the area east of Hodgson Road should be designated Mixed Use instead of Commercial. Minor inconsistencies in the Proposed Land Use Map should be corrected as well, and zoning amendments should follow if and when appropriate . • The land use boundaries on the Proposed Land Use Map should be considered somewhat flexible in order to accommodate natural features, land assembly and other physical issues. • Rezoning as part of new development applications will be examined for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and this 49/J Master Plan. • The Master Plan is the guiding plan for development in the area. The Master Plan is intended to show a general land use arrangement with some specific design elements. The individual site layouts and uses are to be determined as part of the development review process, but should be based on the Master Plan, including specific elements noted below. • Tax increment financing and tax abatement on qualifying properties should be considered potential tools for implementing the Master Plan. - 7 0 - Resolution No. 07 -21 EXHIBIT B page 2 • Transportation and Access • • • Accesses to Hodgson Road and Co. Rd. J are to be located at the points indicated on the Master Plan. o There is to be one full access on Hodgson Road, located 990± feet north of the CR J intersection (approx. 330 feet south of the northern edge of the study area). This access is to be centered on the property line east of Hodgson at this location. No other new permanent accesses are to be allowed. As development occurs, the City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along Hodgson. o Temporary accesses onto Hodgson Road may be considered if one property develops prior to the creation of access to CR J. Such temporary accesses must be removed when the CR J access is created. The removal must be included in conditions of approval for the project. o Between Hodgson and Ware Roads, there is to be only one new access onto CR J, located as close as possible to midway between Hodgson and Ware. This access should be centered on the mid -way property line. This new access is to be constructed as right in /right out only. No other new accesses are to be allowed. The City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along CR J. o From the full access on Hodgson, a circulation route is to be created leading east of Hodgson to the access point on CR J, providing access to all properties in the area. This should be a public road. However, an access drive with mutual easements across properties is a possible solution if it provides adequate access and circulation. o West of Hodgson Rd., there is to be one access onto CR J, located as far west as possible from the Hodgson /CR J intersection. This new access is to be constructed as right in /right out only. This will be a driveway into the development site , and there will be access easements on that site to provide access to, from, and through property to the north, leading to the full access on Hodgson. No other new accesses are to be allowed. The City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along CR J. • The access points, right of way, and internal circulation routes noted above are to create a circulation network serving all properties in the study area rather than individual driveways onto arterial and collector roads that serve only individual properties. • For properties on the eastern edge of the study area, access to Ware Road is a possibility if the City judges the design to be safe. This does not preclude the need for public right of way or easements elsewhere. • The Hodgson /CR J intersection is to be signalized prior to or as part of any significant development in the study area. This is to be a cooperative effort of Anoka and Ramsey Counties, the Cities of Lino Lakes and Shoreview, and developers. Specific design requirements are to be determined. - 7 1 - Resolution No. 07 -21 EXHIBIT B page 3 • • • Other road improvement needs such as additional lanes, median, and the like will be designed in cooperation with Anoka and Ramsey Counties, the Cities of Lino Lakes and Shoreview, and developers, as appropriate. Specific design requirements are to be determined. • The quantity of development of the area will be limited to ensure that traffic generation does not exceed the capacities of Hodgson Road, the intersection with Co Rd J, or the new access. Development shall not create the need for a traffic signal at the new full access on Hodgson Road. o Planning for the area must look forward to full development of the study area so as not to allow one project to "use up capacity" so that other sites cannot develop without creating the need for a signal at the new access. • Right of way will be dedicated with development to ensure adequate right of way for Hodgson and CR J as well as for the internal circulation system, as necessary. • The offset of Ware Road and Mackubin Street should be addressed by realignment of Ware Road to form a four -way intersection. Trails, Open Space • A trail connection, included as an `enhancement corridor' in the Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan, will be established across the study area. This will link to the existing trail connection to Woodridge Lane on the west, cross through the study area, and link to a future trail in Ware Road. The specific alignment of this trail corridor across the Master Plan area will be determined as development occurs. • An, open, focal point green space is to be created where the Woodridge Lane trail connection enters the study area. The specific design of this focal point will be reviewed with any development application for the site. • A trail should be constructed along Hodgson Road in accordance with the City's parks and trails plan. This could be accomplished with sidewalks in the study area. • The wetland complex in the northeast part of the study area, shown as `natural resource protected area' and `natural resource conservation area' in the Parks Plan, should be protected as open space to the degree possible. Detailed information submitted with development proposals will be examined to determine the possibilities for these areas. • Greenspace buffering is an important design element for new development along the border with existing neighborhoods such as Woodridge Estates and Rohavic Oaks. • Municipal Utilities • All new development must have sanitary sewer and water service. Possible exceptions prior to the availability of utilities include renovation of existing structures Resolution No. 07 -21 EXHIBIT B page 4 - 7 2 - • if the building code allows it without utilities. However, the preference is for all uses in the study area to have municipal utilities. • • • Several options exist for utility service, as described in this study document. West of Hodgson, the preference is for connection to the Woodridge Lane sanitary sewer. • Water trunk lines must be looped, and development must provide the looping. Site Design, Urban Form • The intent is to create an urban form for the area. • Development layouts are to include buildings at intersection corners to establish the "cornerstones" of the area's urban form. • As another means of pursuing an urban form, development is to avoid lining Hodgson with large parking lots. This could include the following elements. o Buildings fronting along Hodgson in addition to the cornerstone buildings o Extensive landscaping and screening of parking lots will be required along Hodgson and CR J, including boulevard trees and decorative fencing or walls. Landscaping must be included on the street side of fences or walls along parking lots. • Larger parking areas should be planned with internal landscaping, pedestrian sidewalks or walkways and be divided into smaller areas where possible: o Pedestrian walkways provided in larger parking lots should be landscaped, include path lighting, and provide direct access for pedestrians to an entrance of a commercial building; o Walkways should be raised, paved areas or defined paths distinguished by striping or a change in paving provided that pedestrians are kept safe from vehicular travel on the route to an entrance of a commercial building. • Sidewalks are to be constructed on both sides of Hodgson Road and on the north side of Co. Rd. J to form connections to the trails to the development areas and contribute to the urban form of the area. • Pedestrian circulation should be an important design factor within the development areas to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle circulation among businesses and residential sites. Such circulation routes must be safe and aesthetically pleasing. • Design guidelines must be prepared for any new development project in the area. Developers should submit draft guidelines with development applications. Design guidelines for each project must include attention to previous projects in order to coordinate design throughout the study area. After being refined in collaboration with City staff, design requirements shall be incorporated into the approval of the development. - 7 3 - Resolution No. 07 -21 EXHIBIT B page 5 • • • • Buildings must be designed with "four -sided architecture ", using the same quality materials on all sides. o All facades shall be articulated with a variety of materials, glazing, awnings, or other details to add visual interest. o Building design elements should include an expression of a building base (of brick or stone), a middle, and a top with cornice elements at the top of the first floor and the top of the building. o Roof lines and cornice details shall be completed in a three - dimensional manner so that the features on the back of the roof or similar unfinished areas are not visible o The front facade may have a unique design or more significant glazing. • Commercial buildings must incorporate trash and service areas within the buildings rather than utilizing outdoor enclosures. This will conserve land and maximize the potential for outdoor seating and pedestrian friendly amenities. • It is not the intent of this plan to specify housing unit styles. However, garage units must not access directly onto the main access drive or the main public streets through the development . • The Hodgson /Co Rd J intersection is a gateway and appropriate elements are to be included in the development of the corners of this intersection. • The interface between new residential and commercial uses should be flexible. For example, new development in central areas can be multi - family, commercial, or mixed use. This would be consistent with the flexible land use lines noted above. Maintaining safety and quality of life are important considerations. • Lighting is to be appropriately scaled to a pedestrian friendly development. Lighting should be directed downward and screened to reduce light pollution, glare, and impacts on adjacent residential areas. • Security or service lighting should be limited in coverage area and designed to reduce glare. Stormwater Management • Stormwater management design must incorporate filtration and infiltration elements. This could include such features as rain gardens, swales, dry creeks, infiltration chambers, and other ecologically based methods along with more traditional ponds and pipes. • Stormwater management ponds, if used, should be designed to be a site amenity, including appropriate landscape elements. - 74 - Resolution No. 07 -21 EXHIBIT B page 6 • • • o a a DL cot T3 i of Lino a e %;1 ?'Till Pik7Yilfiv me ; !- -„ . �Ii itfl11911161lC .+V fUF i • 1 o IIl° a e _76_ ' 1 o mo a e •L it.11.1'‘in 1111 !gal • • .-.h i U et a23 C -0 O ca b gR P. a 6 O z bD rn i of Lino a e o-1-(440 YVt41 q)-12_00-7 QUESTIONS FOR CIY COUNCIL & MAYOR From Wayne Brunn, President Brunn Construction Co., Inc. Hodgson / CR J Master Plan 1. Why is it important to have green space buffering between residential and commercial on the west side of 49, but not on the east side on our site? 2. Why is it good planning to have roads located on property lines, yet that is not followed through out the master plan? 3. Why was it a good design in the March 2005 Master Plan to have the road at Kent street and now it is not? 4. Is the City of Lino Lakes not concerned for Shoreview residences having to deal with vehicular traffic head lights shining in their Living Rooms? 5. The planning strategy for the north intersection on Hodgson Road is for commercial on each corner. This would also work at Kent Street and CR J. 6. Why is it not appropriate to request the Met Council to include all of the Master Plan area in the MUSA at this time? This is of great concern to us as the city staff has recommended denial of our Pheasant Stroll Estates application because it was outside the MUSA. (Staff Report - Recommendation — Item #3) 7. Why does the city want us to partake in the construction of a road that we don't benefit from and we can't use? Why wouldn't we be allowed to have driveways access the road? It appears that driveway access would be allowed to the north of what is now the Rock Gardens. Is this Fair? 01) 121 26o7 Master Planning Study Hodgson Road & CR J C I T IN 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651)982 -2400 Approved By Lino Lakes City Council February 12, 2007 Table of Contents BACKGROUND 2 Master Plan Study Objectives 4 Study Area 5 Roads 6 Existing Land Uses 6 Comprehensive Plan Proposed Land Use Map and Zoning 7 Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan 12 Environmental Issues: Wetlands, Water Table 14 DEVELOPMENT ISSUES 16 Land Use 16 Roads, Access 17 Utilities: Water and Sanitary Sewer 20 CONCEPT PLANS 26 MASTER PLAN 31 Planning and Development Requirements 32 • Proposed Amended Land Use Plan, Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan (Detail) • Master Plan • Hodgson /CR J Northwest Corner Perspective • Hodgson /CR J Northeast Corner Perspective • Northern Hodgson Intersection Perspective Looking Northwest Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 1 BACKGROUND In August of 2004, the City of Lino Lakes began a master planning process for the area surrounding the intersection of Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) and County Road J (Ash Street). The intersection of Hodgson Road and CR J is an important gateway into Lino Lakes, but the current appearance of this location needs improvement. While this has been known for some time, landowner interest in redeveloping the restaurant site on the northwest corner catalyzed the master planning project and focused attention on the area. map by Landform The intersection area is dominated by parking lots and automobiles. The restaurant/bar on the northwest corner is boarded up, and some other properties are vacant. In order to address these deficiencies, redevelopment of some parcels is as important as developing unused or underused properties. However, a number of shortcomings must be corrected in order to support development. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 2 The 49 /CR J intersection functions poorly at peak periods. Transportation studies show that traffic will continue to increase. Very little traffic at this intersection is generated by business in the area so even if new development does not occur on land at the intersection, the number of vehicles going through the intersection will increase. Planning for redeveloping the area must consider the fact that Hodgson and CR J are arterial roads serving a greater geographical area. Northwest corner of Hodgson /CR J intersection, viewed from the north Northwest corner of Hodgson /CR J intersection Northeast corner of Hodgson /CR J intersection photos by Landform Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 3 The 49/J study area lacks sufficient internal roadways, and access to existing arterial and collector roads is unplanned overall, with individual driveways serving individual properties. Any business expansion will require extensive site planning including safe access to Hodgson and CR J. An overall road and access plan is needed to accommodate traffic movement on and access to these arterial roads. There is no public water or sanitary sewer service currently existing in most of the study area. Utilities exist to the north, west, east, and in Shoreview to the south of the 49/J study area. However, the City has not completed a detailed analysis of how to serve this area with utilities. Existing homes and businesses have onsite wells and individual wastewater treatment systems, which are not sufficient to support contemporary development. Redevelopment or expansion of the existing businesses will require municipal utilities. Infrastructure planning must include the City of Shoreview to the south of CR J. Because CR J forms the county boundary, and because both CR J and Hodgson are county roads, both Anoka and Ramsey Counties are important planning partners as well. In addition to these infrastructure issues, development planning for the area should include gateway elements. The visual appearance of this entrance to Lino Lakes should be considered in the overall planning. At the outset of the project, the list of objectives included design of the gateway elements for this entrance to the community. The gateway idea has expanded to become a project of its own, to address other gateways and possibly the design of a consistent gateway theme. It is very important to note that there are several viable commercial businesses within the study area. One of the challenges of the study is to plan both for current and future use of land in the area. To be clear, this planning study does not advocate or analyze the relocation of existing businesses. However, planning must acknowledge that redevelopment of existing business sites is a strong possibility. Either way, there are a number of issues to be resolved for the existing businesses as well as for future development or redevelopment. Master Plan Study Objectives • Identify appropriate land uses (present & future) in study area • Plan for road improvements to provide good access and circulation • Identify routing & phasing solutions for utilities to facilitate future development • Plan for redevelopment while recognizing existing businesses These study objectives are closely interrelated. Though they are listed separately, no single objective can be accomplished without the others. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 4 Study Area The study area includes approximately 60 acres of land in the southwest part of Lino Lakes. Starting at CR J (Ash St.) on the south, the study area runs 1/4 mile north along Hodgson Rd. (CSAH 49). On the west side of Hodgson, the study area includes a triangular area of about 20 acres. On the east side of Hodgson, the study area includes 40 acres extending to Ware Road. The study originally included only 20 acres east of Hodgson, but considering the access and utility needs for the area, the effort was extended to include land all the way to Ware Road. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 5 Roads Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) is an arterial road that runs from Lino Lakes south into central St. Paul. County Road J, (CSAH 1, CSAH 32 or Ash Street), is an arterial running across much of Anoka County, from State Trunk Highway 65 on the west to I -35E on the east. Co. Rd. J forms the boundary between Lino Lakes and Shoreview. It also is the boundary of Anoka County and Ramsey County, which share responsibilities for CR J. Existing Land Uses The study area includes a variety of residential and commercial uses. A garden center, used auto lot, and auto repair business line the east side of Hodgson Rd. The auto sales business owner has acquired a five -acre lot immediately east of the existing sales lot. On the periphery of the study area, several single family homes exist on large, rural lots without water or sanitary sewer services. About 600 feet to the north is the new neighborhood of Ravens Hollow. A closed bar /restaurant sits on the northwest corner of Hodgson Road and CRJ. To the north of that is an insurance office. Next is a liquor store with an apartment on the second floor. Further north is a 17 -acre parcel running for 1000 feet up the west side of Hodgson. This parcel includes a house and some out buildings. Several existing neighborhoods border the study area: Woodridge Estates and Blomquist Addition to the west, Rohavic Oaks to the north, and homes south of CR J in Shoreview. Discussions with property owners at a March 2005 open house and throughout 2005 were a vital part of the study. Some want to develop their site, some want to continue the existing use for now, but have plans for future development. Others have no plan to change their use of their site. The figure below shows the existing uses.

The following passages from the Comprehensive Plan describe the intent of these land use categories. The Mixed Use designation is intended to accommodate development that includes a variety of land uses. This could be a development that integrates uses in the same building, such as residential units above commercial space. It also might include different uses in separate locations as elements of a larger development, as part of a master plan. page 97, as amended by Resolution 05 -153 Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 7 The medium and high density residential land uses have been proposed in close proximity to the City's commercial locations as a means of providing convenient access to commercial goods and services, nearby market support for the commercial businesses, and reduced traffic impacts between these land uses. The Comprehensive Plan stresses the integration of commercial and medium density residential land uses. page 86 The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to identify commercial locations within the City that will provide attractive shopping environments and convenient access to retail goods and services for community residents. page 88 The study area is entirely within the Stage 1 (pre -2010) growth area. The "Staged Growth Area Rules" in Comprehensive Plan include: 1. Development through year 2010 shall be confined to the 2010 staged growth area. The City will annually evaluate community growth prior to expanding into the 2020 staged growth area. 2. Excess acreage exists within the 2010 and 2020 growth areas. Properties within a staged growth area without designated MUSA have no vested right to MUSA. These lands may pursue a MUSA allocation with a City approved development application. page 72 The Metropolitan Urban Service Area, or MUSA, is the area within which the City can extend sanitary sewer service. The western 2/3 of the study area is within the existing MUSA. The eastern 20 acres, on the west side of Ware Road is outside the existing MUSA. The Comprehensive Plan creates seven planning districts across the city that include recommendations for the specified areas. The project site is within Planning District 4, which includes the following relevant recommendations: 4. Unsewered residential neighborhoods shall be maintained as long term land uses. Extension of sanitary sewer into unsewered subdivisions will occur only at the request of the private property owners. 7. When considering new development, the ability of the street system to accommodate additional traffic will be evaluated. 10. The commercial land uses within District 4 are located near major street intersections. The commercial locations are oriented to serving the nearby neighborhoods. In this respect, the City will regulate future commercial development to control land use intensity and establish both site and building designs that will be compatible with the surrounding residential uses. Attention will be given to site design, building architecture, green space, setbacks, access, signage and lighting to create attractive commercial locations. Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 8 12. The City will work to establish a hierarchy of streets to improve traffic circulation throughout District 4. Street planning efforts will include: b. Maintain Hodgson Road and County Road J as "A" minor arterial streets. With this functional classification, the right -of -way width and roadway design should promote traffic movement and limit direct site access. d. Encourage local street connections between neighborhoods. 13. Implement the City Park Plan to locate and develop a comprehensive park and trail system within District 4. Zoning The zoning of the study area includes General Business and Rural. The General Business includes a wide variety of businesses including retail, service, and semi - industrial uses. They may contain businesses which tend to serve other business and industry as well as those catering to shoppers' needs. The Rural zone includes typical agricultural uses, but also in intended to guide development along an orderly design. That is, the Rural zone often serves as a "holding" zone until urbanization occurs. South of CR J, in the City of Shoreview, land is guided and zoned for single family residential use except for the commercial land at the corners of Hodgson and CR J. The following figures show future land use and zoning from the comprehensive plans and zoning maps of both Lino Lakes and Shoreview.

There is an existing trail easement between two lots which was dedicated with the plat of the Woodridge Estates neighborhood. Though the easement is only ten feet wide, a trail was paved in this easement. The Trail System Plan envisions this trail as a connection to land to the west of Woodridge Estates. Whether or not such a western extension is feasible, the existing trail does allow a connection to Woodridge Lane, which then provides access to Woods of Baldwin Lake Park to the north. An east /west, pedestrian and bicycle route through the study area would provide a connection to a trail along Ware Road. The parks plan also shows Natural Resource Protection Areas in the northeast area. These are wetland areas that will be protected by existing wetland law or may be important plant communities. The Natural Resource Conservation Areas in the northeast and northwest portions of the study area are uplands with features that have high ecological value. These areas should be examined for the potential for protection. A Natural Resource Enhancement Corridor is shown to indicate that an area could be considered for a trail to connect the two other areas.

The shallow water table constrains some development options that would require below -grade construction. Wetlands create some challenges for routing roads and utilities. However, the wetlands also can be viewed as the basis of an open space amenity area that can be incorporated into site designs. Proper buffering of the wetlands can protect water quality and enhance the quality of these open spaces. This approach fits with the City's conservation development philosophy, whereby new development would create significant public values beyond those achievable under conventional development.

LA.1%1DFOR1V1 Lino Lakes County Road J Masterplanning Study Wetland Inventory November 11, 2004 LN04004 Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 15 DEVELOPMENT ISSUES Land Use The existing land uses are illustrated in the previous figures. Any development of the study area must recognize the existing abutting neighborhoods of Woodridge Estates, Blomquist Addition, Rohavic Oaks, Ware Road and Hodgson Road residents in Lino Lakes, as well as the existing residential development south of CR J in Shoreview. These will continue as stable residential neighborhoods. Design of new development must take into account potential impacts on the neighbors. Also noted previously, some property owners want to develop their site, some want to continue the existing use for now, but have plans for future development. Others have no plan to change their use of their site. For example, a garden center and an auto sales business exist on Hodgson Road. Both these businesses are consistent with the Proposed Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan: the sites are guided for commercial use. The garden center owner wants to continue running the business on the site. Immediately to the south, the auto sales lot owner also plans to continue doing business. However, either one of these two sites could be redeveloped. The garden center has several buildings, but the site could be redeveloped either for expansion of the garden sales business or for a completely different use. The auto sales property is mostly undeveloped and could be used for a variety of things. Land at the northwest corner of CR J and Ware Road is owned by a developer hoping to create a small townhome development on the site. This is consistent with the Proposed Land Use Map, which guides the site for medium density residential use. On the west side of Hodgson Road, there are several properties under different ownership. The existing buildings are on small parcels near the street intersection. A larger parcel of 17 acres lies to the north of the retail area and is largely vacant with only a house and some small outbuildings. A developer is working to develop the 17 acres. It would be desirable to include the smaller parcels in a redevelopment project. No specific plans have been offered on the other properties in the study area. The important point is that road, utility, and development plans for the area should provide both for future development and for continuing the existing businesses on the site at least for the short term until redevelopment options arise. Accommodating both possibilities poses challenges. Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 16 Roads, Access Creating new local access and circulation is vital to development in the study area. Creating new road alignments must address three issues: access and circulation, development parcel size, and road right of way width. Addressing these will require cooperation between different agencies and jurisdictions. Access and Circulation Access management is an important aspect of planning new road alignments. A number of studies have demonstrated a relationship between the number of full access points on major roadways and the number of crashes. The City's Comprehensive Plan addresses this issue with the recommendation to Maintain Hodgson Road and County Road J as "A" minor arterial streets. With this functional classification, the right -of -way width and roadway design should promote traffic movement and limit direct site access. page 137 Managing access to the arterial roads in the study area supports several sound planning goals, including: maintaining an acceptable level of mobility on the roads; reducing the potential for safety problems; and promoting appropriate property access. The intersection of Hodgson and CR J functions poorly now at peak periods. Traffic will continue to increase, further degrading traffic conditions at the intersection. Most of this traffic is generated outside of the study area, but significant development in the study area will generate additional traffic. Development within the area will require good, safe access and circulation. Planning for the study area must acknowledge that the intersection must be improved. This requires improvements to Hodgson Rd. and CR J, but also requires designing clearly defined access points and internal circulation within the study area. Because of the delay at the Hodgson/CR J intersection, drivers are diverting through residential neighborhoods in Shoreview to avoid delays at the intersection. This is a clear example of how traffic growth over time creates the need for road improvements; in this case, the intersection and approaches to it. Insufficient transportation infrastructure results in ripple effects on surrounding areas such as the cut - through traffic on residential streets. On the Lino Lakes side, Hodgson Road, CR J, and Ware Road are the only roads in the study area. No existing local streets provide access to and circulation within the interior of the study area. Defining the access points onto the arterials and collector also includes recognizing that the number of accesses will be limited. The intent is that access to land will be via new, internal circulation roads rather than with individual driveways onto Hodgson and CR J. The new roads will access Hodgson and CR J at specific locations. Limiting the number of accesses to the main roads supports continuing mobility on the main roads. It also minimizes potential safety problems. This will be better than if individual driveways access the arterials at numerous places. Individual driveways interfere with mobility and pose Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 17 safety hazards. Therefore, eliminating existing driveways that now access the arterial roads goes along with creating the new access points. Speed limits are important considerations for planning improvements and access points. Both Hodgson Road and CR J are classified as minor arterials. The speed limit is 50 mph on Hodgson north of CR J, but 45 mph to the south in Ramsey County. On CR J, the speed limit is 35 mph at the Hodgson intersection. The speed limit increases to 50 mph approximately 2,000 feet to the west and about 2,600 feet to the east of Hodgson Rd. The speed limit on Ware Rd. in the area is 45 mph. Extensive discussions with the Anoka County Highway Department have resulted in some specific design parameters. These discussion included the recognition of conflicting interests. Property owners want direct and extensive access to their properties. However, numerous accesses impede traffic flow on collector and arterial roads and create safety hazards. It is also important to avoid disadvantaging one property by treating a neighboring property more favorably. County and City staff worked toward the goal of reaching a balance among these interests and creating a system of access points, circulation routes, and needed road improvements that will provide good access to all properties while ensuring public safety and keeping traffic flowing on arterial roads. Access Locations Hodgson Road: When development occurs, there should be one access to Hodgson, approximately 990 feet north of CR J. This point would have an access from both east and west, creating a full access intersection (not blocked with a median). Turn lanes would be necessary on Hodgson Road. Anoka County has not eliminated the possibility that a median could block the intersection if future safety concerns arise. Co. Rd. J: There also should be one access to CR J between Hodgson and Ware. Anoka County has agreed to one access between Hodgson and Ware, which would be constructed as right in/right out, with individual driveways being eliminated as development occurs. Because there will be one access, it must be a public road, not a private road or driveway. It should be located as close as possible to being centered between Hodgson and Ware Roads. Aligning it with Kent Street on the south is an option. This would eliminate the offset between the two. However, Anoka County will require that this new road access be a right in/right out access. This would prevent almost every conflicting movement normally seen with an offset, so the offset would not be a concern. There should be one access to CR J between Hodgson Road and Woodridge Lane. This would be as far west as possible to create the greatest possible separation from the Hodgson/CR J intersection. Anoka County has stated that this access must be constructed as right in/right out. Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 18 Thus, 15 existing driveway access points on Hodgson and CR J would be reduced to four access points. This reduction from 15 individual, random driveways to four properly designed access points would be a significant public safety improvement. The access points are shown on the final Master Plan. Signalization The Hodgson /CR J intersection should be signalized. The City recognizes the need to plan for the right of way to accommodate signalization. The City also recognizes the need for inter jurisdictional cooperation because CR J forms the border between Anoka and Ramsey Counties and between the Cities of Lino Lakes and Shoreview. Discussions between staff from these jurisdictions have resulted in agreement that the signalization is needed and the recognition that it is a shared responsibility to accomplish this goal. Parcel Size In addition to access needs, the design of new internal roads should allow for the creation of parcels of property that are large enough to develop. The parcels must accommodate buildings, parking, access drives, and site amenities such as landscaping or other features. The street system must take into account existing uses as well as the potential for future development. Right of Way Road rights of way must be large enough to accommodate vehicle movement, pedestrian sidewalks or trails, utility easements, and landscaping. While it is possible to have utilities in separate easements, this uses additional land. It is most efficient to include utilities in the road rights of way. Additional right of way will be needed for Hodgson and CR J, especially at their intersection. The intersection of these arterials will need additional right of way for signalization and turn lanes. The specific dimensions will require further joint planning among Anoka County, Ramsey County, the City of Shoreview, and Lino Lakes. The offset of Ware Road and Mackubin Street should be addressed by acquiring right of way to allow Ware Road to be realigned to the west and form a four -way intersection. The purpose is to eliminate the danger posed by left turns at an offset intersection. Signalizing the Hodgson /CR J intersection will facilitate north /south traffic and eliminate the incentive to cut through the Shoreview neighborhood to avoid delay at the Hodgson/CR J intersection. The City recognizes that providing access to land within the study area probably will take different forms. In the area between Hodgson and Ware Roads, the best approach is a new Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 19 public roadway. One end would access CR J, the other end would access Hodgson. The access locations are shown on the Master Plan. To the west of Hodgson, the triangular configuration is not conducive to creating a complete road in a right of way. The study area only has about 300 feet fronting CR J, which does not allow for a public right of way without severely limiting development potential on the property there. The preferred solution there is for the parking drive design to create what would be, in effect, a backage road running up from CR J through property to the north and then out to Hodgson at the location described above. This would require access easements between properties, which would be required as conditions of development approvals. It is possible that such an approach would be appropriate in the eastern part of the study area, between Hodgson and Ware Roads. However, the access drive method requires a larger development plan rather than individual development on numerous small parcels. It also may be possible to create a new public road on the west portion of the study area, but this option is unlikely, as noted above. The width and specific alignments of the internal roads and /or access drives will be examined with potential development designs. However, the points at which they access CR J and Hodgson Road are to be consistent with the descriptions above and as shown on the final Master Plan. Utilities: Water and Sanitary Sewer If the area is to develop, it must have municipal water and sanitary sewer service. Providing these utilities to the study area poses numerous challenges. The water and sanitary sewer figures show the locations of existing municipal utilities. Several potential locations for utility service connections have been considered: • Shoreview • Woodridge Lane • White Pine Road, approximately % mile to the north of the study area • Ravens Court, approximately 1/8 mile north of the study area • Ware Road There are several common issues for water and sanitary sewer service in this area. For an area that lacks both utilities, it is financially cost effective to plan both in the same alignment. This avoids the need to acquire easements for separate alignments, and both can be constructed at the same time. However, there are some issues that apply to one but not to the other. In particular, the need to loop the water system. Issues for utility service are described below. Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 20 Water Main All the properties in the area with existing uses have individual wells for water. Homes on Woodridge Lane have municipal water, but there is no service between the Woodridge Estates neighborhood and Ware Rd. The City of Lino Lakes has recognized the need to loop its trunk lines. Water trunk looping is needed in order to provide adequate water service, particularly fire protection. Looping the system allows for better flow and water pressure. Looping also provides alternative service if water is interrupted from one direction. Neither the trunk in Woodridge Lane nor the trunk in Ware Rd. are looped to other trunks. Both trunks end near the Hodgson/CR J area. The City needs to loop the water even if no new development occurs. New development provides new easements because it needs utility service. If no new development occurs, the City faces the need to acquire new easements solely at City cost. Sanitary Sewer The majority of properties in the study area have onsite septic systems for wastewater treatment. Only a few properties in the area have municipal sewer service . These are all west of Hodgson. They include homes on the north side of CR J, the closed bar /restaurant site, the existing insurance building, and the existing liquor store. There are capacity issues with some of the connection alternatives. The city's draft comprehensive sanitary sewer plan assumed that land west of Hodgson would be served by the system west of Hodgson (which includes the Woodridge Lane and White Pine Road options), and land east of Hodgson would be served by the system east of Hodgson (which includes the Ware Road and Ravens Court options). Connection Location Options • Shoreview Water: The Cities of Lino Lakes and Shoreview have a water interconnect at Woodridge Lane. In the past, this interconnect provided ongoing, supplementary water availability. However, Shoreview has closed this connection. It is available for emergency water service, but not available on an ongoing basis. This has increased the importance of looping the Lino Lakes system. Sewer: There are a few parcels with sewer service served by a special service pipe that connects to the City of Shoreview sewer system. Shoreview has stated that it will not plan to accommodate additional Lino Lakes development through this service line. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 21 Therefore, service for the rest of the study area must be provided by the Lino Lakes system. • Woodridge Lane Water: The City needs to create a loop connection to the Woodridge Lane water trunk, west of the study area. Because of this need, connecting to the Woodridge Lane water trunk is a priority. The challenge lies in the lack of any specified corridor for a utility easement between the existing homes. The water loop could run along CR J, then turn north through new development in the study area. The CR J right of way is 100 feet wide in this location (50 feet on each side of the centerline). There are numerous private utility services in this right of way such as natural gas, electricity, cable tv, and fiber optics. Running a new water pipe would require moving these utilities or acquiring a new easement. Moving the private utilities would be expensive. The remaining option is to acquire a new easement outside of the existing road right of way that would not affect the private utilities. Sewer: As noted in the description of water service, there is no corridor between existing homes for a utility easement to connect to the Woodridge Lane utilities. Connecting to this sewer line would require a new easement. Early preliminary analyses did not include the Woodridge Lane option because of the lack of access through the existing residential lots. However, if such a connection is possible through a new easement, this would be the most desirable option because the system east of Hodgson has capacity constraints that may affect development potential. It is likely that a lift station will be needed to connect to this line because of its shallow depth. • White Pine Road Water: There is service available in White Pine Road, about '/o mile north of the study area. Connecting to this would require either utilizing an easement through the Rohavic Oaks residential properties or running along Hodgson to Rohavic Lane, and running the pipe in Rohavic Lane and Laurene Ave. There is an existing Metropolitan Council utility easement between the home lots that has the potential for being used for city utilities. This route could provide a loop from Woodridge. The Ware Road trunk could be connected to this new trunk when development fills in the gap. The major obstacle for this option is the Rohavic Oaks neighborhood. The comprehensive plan guides the Rohavic Oaks neighborhood as Unsewered Low Density Residential and the City has received only one inquiry from this neighborhood about utility service. Without property owner participation, there would be insufficient funding for utilities and road reconstruction. Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 22 Sewer: As with water, there is a sanitary sewer line in White Pine Road, about % mile north of the study area. Connecting to this would require running the pipe in Laurene Avenue and Rohavic Lane. It also would require either utilizing an easement through the Rohavic Oaks residential properties or running along Hodgson to Rohavic Lane. In addition, the comprehensive plan guides this neighborhood as Low Density Unsewered Residential (no utilities to be provided) and the City has received only one inquiry from this neighborhood about providing utilities. Without property owner participation, there would be insufficient funding for utilities and road reconstruction. • Ravens Court Water: Connection to the Ravens Court water is possible. This could address the need to loop the water system to Woodridge or Ware. Sewer: Connection to the Ravens Court sanitary sewer is possible, depending on depth issues and the potential need for a lift station. However, the Raven's Court pipe flows into the Linda Ave. line, which has capacity constraints because of its size. • Ware Road Water: The Ware Rd. properties are undeveloped, so the opportunity exists to plan utility service alignment as land develops. As property develops along Ware Road, the trunk can be brought from that side. However, it will be necessary to provide the water loop as development is planned. Sewer: The Ware Rd. properties are undeveloped, so the opportunity exists to plan utility service alignment as land develops. As property develops along Ware Road, the trunk can be brought from that side. The Ware Road trunk is relatively shallow. Depending on grade elevations for new development, a lift station may be needed. The Ware Rd. pipe is constrained by the capacity of Lift Station No. 3, which handles all the Ware Rd. flow. Even if the lift station's pumps are upgraded, there is a limit on its capacity. The size of the force main from the lift station also limits the potential capacity of this segment of the system. Both the Ware Rd. and Ravens Court pipes flow to Linda Ave. The Linda Ave. pipe itself has a capacity constraint due to its size, which therefore constrains both the pipes flowing into it.

The earlier concept plans were intended to provide a basis for discussion as the study progressed. The final concept plan evolved from the earlier plans and additional research. By its very nature, a concept plan is inexact, a collection of ideas. The concept plans were not intended to eliminate existing businesses. Rather, they were intended to generate discussion by showing a general land use design with some specifics, such as road alignments and access points. An initial plan was presented to a neighborhood meeting on March 22, 2005. This plan intended to accomplish the following: • preservation of natural resource areas • allow for phased development and utilities (connect to utilities in Ware Road) • good access and circulation • provide access for new development • provide for stormwater treatment and management • conservation development: create significant public values beyond those achievable under conventional development, including: • preserving natural habitat • creating more open space for natural habitat, neighborhood recreation and trails • design quality, well - landscaped neighborhoods The March concept plan also attempted to address gateway design issues. This included keeping the corner buildings close to the street corners and other elements to create a human scale environment, friendly to pedestrians and bicyclists. A major trail along Hodgson is an important part of the City's Parks and Trails Plan. Residential development in the area should have easy walking and biking access to this transportation trail and to new businesses as well. The March concept plan is shown below. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 26 March 2005 C O N C E P T P L A N L.ANDFORM COUNTY ROAD J REDEVELO=MENT MASTEF PLAN Grr Lem Was WAN 22 2005 Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 27 The March concept plan generated very informative discussions and helpful input from landowners and residents. Several business owners didn't see their businesses pictured on the concept plan and worried that the City was trying to drive them out. They stated they intended to remain on their site, even expand their existing businesses. This misunderstanding enforced the need for further communication, which was accomplished via meetings, conversations, and correspondence. These both helped clarify the goals of the study for landowners and informed the study process regarding landowners' plans and needs. This educational process led to a second set of concept plans in June 2005. Knowing that some of the existing businesses planned to remain led to realigning the new roads to follow existing property lines. This provides for new road and utility corridors while minimizing impacts on both the existing garden center and the auto sales lot. Expansion is possible, and the new road and utility corridors provide access to utilities and to Hodgson and CR J. Concepts A and B differ in the specific alignments of the internal roads. The alignments result in different approaches to designing the land at the northwest comer of CR J and Ware Road. The actual layout of that site has yet to be determined. However, both Concepts A and B provide a corridor to Ware Road for utilities, through the development site. It might be preferable to align the new road access to CR J with the existing Kent Street in Shoreview, as in Concept B. However, aligning it with the property boundary is acceptable, even though it creates an offset. The likelihood of a median in CR J makes a full access there somewhat questionable, so the offset would become moot. Though both concepts show a full access, this has yet to be determined. The June concept plans led to further, more detailed planning and discussions with land owners. On the west side of Hodgson, a developer is pursuing a plan to develop the 17 acres to the north of the existing buildings. This would include new retail as well as a senior housing campus. Including the redevelopment of those existing buildings would be preferable, as it would allow for overall master planning of that area west of Hodgson. The land owner at the northwest comer of Ware Road and CR J is pursuing a townhome development. If utilities for the study area connect to Ware Road, this townhome development would include a corridor for the water and sanitary sewer. The June concept plans also formed the basis of discussions with the Anoka County Highway Dept., Ramsey County Public Works., the City of Shoreview City Engineer, and Lino Lakes staff. All agreed that the Hodgson/CR J intersection needs improvement, and a collaborative solution is needed. Subsequently, Anoka County Hwy. prepared a plan for the intersection and road improvements. Lino Lakes prepared a traffic study. Ramsey County contributed data for the study. All jurisdictions will need to examine funding possibilities and cooperative planning.

The Master Plan is intended to establish a general land use design with some specifics, such as road alignments, access points, and specified important design elements. It is not intended to drive out existing businesses. The Master Plan does not mandate the exact site layout or specific uses of individual parcels. However, because infrastructure design is the driving force of the study, individual parcel design must take into account the infrastructure needs for the larger study area. In addition, the plan specifies some fundamental design elements in specified locations to provide a common framework for all development in the area. Both the Master Plan drawing and the accompanying Planning and Development Requirements should be considered together to guide decisions on development. While recognizing the importance of the Land Use Map, it's important to acknowledge the realities of land development. Future development may involve assembling several land parcels. Site layouts may need some flexibility to ensure efficient design and safety, especially internal circulation. In addition, natural features don't follow linear property boundaries. Because of these and other factors, the actual boundaries on the Proposed Land Use Map should be considered somewhat flexible in order to accommodate development or redevelopment proposals within the study area. The Master Plan includes important amendments to the Proposed Land Use Map in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Map is the guide for development in the city and the study area should develop with the land uses as shown on the map. Mixed use development is becoming more and more common, and the Hodgson/CR J area is a good location for it. The west side of Hodgson already is guided Mixed Use. The Master Plan recommends that the east side area currently guided Commercial be amended to Mixed Use. This would allow for, though not mandate, the inclusion of residential units, possibly in multi -story buildings. This would provide customers for the commercial development, and the commercial services would be convenient to the residents. There are a few specific locations that deserve attention from the perspective of the Proposed Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning map. These minor inconsistencies should be addressed with the amendment of the Land Use Map. In the extreme southwest corner of the study area is a parcel forming a narrow strip that runs northwest/southeast. This parcel is guided for residential land use but zoned General Business. The narrow strip is not useable by itself and must be incorporated into the redevelopment of the abutting property. The land use map should be amended to include this piece in the Mixed Use land use category. The General Business zoning is appropriate. On the north edge of the study area, a parcel between Hodgson and Ware Roads is guided Commercial on the Hodgson side but the area east of the wetland is guided for Medium Density Residential. As noted above, the western portion should be guided Mixed Use. The specifics of the site — especially a wetland delineation — likely will determine how far Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 31 commercial development will extend east. Allowing for a flexible edge of the land uses, as recommended above, will allow a design that is sensitive to the natural resources. The zoning should remain General Business. Any future development review will examine rezoning needs. On the Ware Road side of the study area, a parcel is guided both Medium Density Residential and Low Density Sewered Residential. How or even if development will occur there is unknown. For consistency, the entire parcel should be guided Medium Density. The Rural zoning is appropriate. Any future development review will examine rezoning needs. Planning and Development Requirements General • This Master Plan is to be incorporated into the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan with an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. This includes amendments to the Proposed Land Use Map: the area east of Hodgson Road should be designated Mixed Use instead of Commercial. Minor inconsistencies in the Proposed Land Use Map should be corrected as well, and zoning amendments should follow if and when appropriate . • The land use boundaries on the Proposed Land Use Map should be considered somewhat flexible in order to accommodate natural features, land assembly and other physical issues. • Rezoning as part of new development applications will be examined for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and this 49/J Master Plan. • The Master Plan is the guiding plan for development in the area. The Master Plan is intended to show a general land use arrangement with some specific design elements. The individual site layouts and uses are to be determined as part of the development review process, but should be based on the Master Plan, including specific elements noted below. • Tax increment financing and tax abatement on qualifying properties should be considered potential tools for implementing the Master Plan. Transportation and Access • Accesses to Hodgson Road and Co. Rd. J are to be located at the points indicated on the Master Plan. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 32 • o There is to be one full access on Hodgson Road, located 990± feet north of the CR J intersection (approx. 330 feet south of the northern edge of the study area). This access is to be centered on the property line east of Hodgson at this location. No other new permanent accesses are to be allowed. As development occurs, the City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along Hodgson. o Temporary accesses onto Hodgson Road may be considered if one property develops prior to the creation of access to CR J. Such temporary accesses must be removed when the CR J access is created. The removal must be included in conditions of approval for the project. o Between Hodgson and Ware Roads, there is to be only one new access onto CR J, located as close as possible to midway between Hodgson and Ware. This access should be centered on the mid -way property line. This new access is to be constructed as right in/right out only. No other new accesses are to be allowed. The City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along CR J. o From the full access on Hodgson, a circulation route is to be created leading east of Hodgson to the access point on CR J, providing access to all properties in the area. This should be a public road. However, an access drive with mutual easements across properties is a possible solution if it provides adequate access and circulation. o West of Hodgson Rd., there is to be one access onto CR J, located as far west as possible from the Hodgson/CR J intersection. This new access is to be constructed as right in/right out only. This will be a driveway into the development site , and there will be access easements on that site to provide access to, from, and through property to the north, leading to the full access on Hodgson. No other new accesses are to be allowed. The City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along CR J. • The access points, right of way, and internal circulation routes noted above are to create a circulation network serving all properties in the study area rather than individual driveways onto arterial and collector roads that serve only individual properties. • For properties on the eastern edge of the study area, access to Ware Road is a possibility if the City judges the design to be safe. This does not preclude the need for public right of way or easements elsewhere. • The Hodgson/CR J intersection is to be signalized prior to or as part of any significant development in the study area. This is to be a cooperative effort of Anoka and Ramsey Counties, the Cities of Lino Lakes and Shoreview, and developers. Specific design requirements are to be determined. • Other road improvement needs such as additional lanes, median, and the like will be designed in cooperation with Anoka and Ramsey Counties, the Cities of Lino Lakes and Shoreview, and developers, as appropriate. Specific design requirements are to be determined. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 33 • The quantity of development of the area will be limited to ensure that traffic generation does not exceed the capacities of Hodgson Road, the intersection with Co Rd J, or the new access. Development shall not create the need for a traffic signal at the new full access on Hodgson Road. o Planning for the area must look forward to full development of the study area so as not to allow one project to "use up capacity" so that other sites cannot develop without creating the need for a signal at the new access. • Right of way will be dedicated with development to ensure adequate right of way for Hodgson and CR J as well as for the internal circulation system, as necessary. • The offset of Ware Road and Mackubin Street should be addressed by realignment of Ware Road to form a four -way intersection. Trails, Open Space • A trail connection, included as an `enhancement corridor' in the Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan, will be established across the study area. This will link to the existing trail connection to Woodridge Lane on the west, cross through the study area, and link to a future trail in Ware Road. The specific alignment of this trail corridor across the Master Plan area will be determined as development occurs. • An, open, focal point green space is to be created where the Woodridge Lane trail connection enters the study area. The specific design of this focal point will be reviewed with any development application for the site. • A trail should be constructed along Hodgson Road in accordance with the City's parks and trails plan. This could be accomplished with sidewalks in the study area. • The wetland complex in the northeast part of the study area, shown as `natural resource protected area' and `natural resource conservation area' in the Parks Plan, should be protected as open space to the degree possible. Detailed information submitted with development proposals will be examined to determine the possibilities for these areas. • Greenspace buffering is an important design element for new development along the border with existing neighborhoods such as Woodridge Estates and Rohavic Oaks. Municipal Utilities • All new development must have sanitary sewer and water service. Possible exceptions prior to the availability of utilities include renovation of existing structures if the building Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 34 code allows it without utilities. However, the preference is for all uses in the study area to have municipal utilities. • Several options exist for utility service, as described in this study document. West of Hodgson, the preference is for connection to the Woodridge Lane sanitary sewer. • Water trunk lines must be looped, and development must provide the looping. Site Design, Urban Form • The intent is to create an urban form for the area. • Development layouts are to include buildings at intersection corners to establish the "cornerstones" of the area's urban form. • As another means of pursuing an urban form, development is to avoid lining Hodgson with large parking lots. This could include the following elements. o Buildings fronting along Hodgson in addition to the cornerstone buildings o Extensive landscaping and screening of parking lots will be required along Hodgson and CR J, including boulevard trees and decorative fencing or walls. Landscaping must be included on the street side of fences or walls along parking lots. • Larger parking areas should be planned with internal landscaping, pedestrian sidewalks or walkways and be divided into smaller areas where possible: o Pedestrian walkways provided in larger parking lots should be landscaped, include path lighting, and provide direct access for pedestrians to an entrance of a commercial building; o Walkways should be raised, paved areas or defined paths distinguished by striping or a change in paving provided that pedestrians are kept safe from vehicular travel on the route to an entrance of a commercial building. • Sidewalks are to be constructed on both sides of Hodgson Road and on the north side of Co. Rd. J to form connections to the trails to the development areas and contribute to the urban form of the area. • Pedestrian circulation should be an important design factor within the development areas to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle circulation among businesses and residential sites. Such circulation routes must be safe and aesthetically pleasing. • Design guidelines must be prepared for any new development project in the area. Developers should submit draft guidelines with development applications. Design Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 35 guidelines for each project must include attention to previous projects in order to coordinate design throughout the study area. After being refined in collaboration with City staff, design requirements shall be incorporated into the approval of the development. • Buildings must be designed with "four -sided architecture ", using the same quality materials on all sides. o All facades shall be articulated with a variety of materials, glazing, awnings, or other details to add visual interest. o Building design elements should include an expression of a building base (of brick or stone), a middle, and a top with cornice elements at the top of the first floor and the top of the building. o Roof lines and cornice details shall be completed in a three- dimensional manner so that the features on the back of the roof or similar unfinished areas are not visible o The front facade may have a unique design or more significant glazing. • Commercial buildings must incorporate trash and service areas within the buildings rather than utilizing outdoor enclosures. This will conserve land and maximize the potential for outdoor seating and pedestrian friendly amenities. • It is not the intent of this plan to specify housing unit styles. However, garage units must not access directly onto the main access drive or the main public streets through the development . • The Hodgson/Co Rd J intersection is a gateway and appropriate elements are to be included in the development of the corners of this intersection. • The interface between new residential and commercial uses should be flexible. For example, new development in central areas can be multi- family, commercial, or mixed use. This would be consistent with the flexible land use lines noted above. Maintaining safety and quality of life are important considerations. • Lighting is to be appropriately scaled to a pedestrian friendly development. Lighting should be directed downward and screened to reduce light pollution, glare, and impacts on adjacent residential areas. • Security or service lighting should be limited in coverage area and designed to reduce glare. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 36 v Stormwater Management • Stormwater management design must incorporate filtration and infiltration elements. This could include such features as rain gardens, swales, dry creeks, infiltration chambers, and other ecologically based methods along with more traditional ponds and pipes. • Stormwater management ponds, if used, should be designed to be a site amenity, including appropriate landscape elements.

The intersection of Hodgson Road and CR J is an important gateway into Lino Lakes, but the current appearance of this location needs improvement. While this has been known for some time, landowner interest in redeveloping the restaurant site on the northwest corner catalyzed the master planning project and focused attention on the area. map by Landform The intersection area is dominated by parking lots and automobiles. The restaurant/bar on the northwest corner is boarded up, and some other properties are vacant. In order to address these deficiencies, redevelopment of some parcels is as important as developing unused or underused properties. However, a number of shortcomings must be corrected in order to support development. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 2 The 49 /CR J intersection functions poorly at peak periods. Transportation studies show that traffic will continue to increase. Very little traffic at this intersection is generated by business in the area so even if new development does not occur on land at the intersection, the number of vehicles going through the intersection will increase. Planning for redeveloping the area must consider the fact that Hodgson and CR J are arterial roads serving a much eater geographical area. Northwest corner of Hodgson /CR J intersection, viewed from the north Northwest corner of Hodgson /CR J intersection Northeast corner of Hodgson /CR J intersection photos by Landform Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 3 The 49/J study area lacks sufficient internal roadways, and access to existing arterial and collector roads is unplanned overall, with individual driveways serving individual properties. Any business expansion will require extensive site planning including safe access to Hodgson and CR J. An overall road and access plan is needed to accommodate traffic movement on and access to these arterial roads. There is no public water or sanitary sewer service currently existing in most of the study area. Utilities exist to the north, west, east, and in Shoreview to the south of the 49/J study area. However, the City has not completed a detailed analysis of how to serve this area with utilities. Existing homes and businesses have onsite wells and individual wastewater treatment systems, which are not sufficient to support contemporary development. Redevelopment or expansion of the existing businesses will require municipal utilities. Infrastructure planning must include the City of Shoreview to the south of CR J. Because CR J forms the county boundary, and because both CR J and Hodgson are county roads, both Anoka and Ramsey Counties are important planning partners as well. In addition to these infrastructure issues, development planning for the area should include gateway elements. The visual appearance of this entrance to Lino Lakes should be considered in the overall planning. At the outset of the project, the list of objectives included design of the gateway elements for this entrance to the community. The gateway idea has expanded to become a project of its own, to address other gateways and possibly the design of a consistent gateway theme. It is very important to note that there are several viable commercial businesses within the study area. One of the challenges of the study is to plan both for current and future use of land in the area. To be clear, this planning study does not advocate or analyze the relocation of existing businesses. However, planning must acknowledge that redevelopment of existing business sites is a strong possibility. Either way, there are a number of issues to be resolved for the existing businesses as well as for future development or redevelopment. Master Plan Study Objectives • Identify appropriate land uses (present & future) in study area • Plan for road improvements to provide good access and circulation • Identify routing & phasing solutions for utilities to facilitate future development • Plan for redevelopment while recognizing existing businesses These study objectives are closely interrelated. Though they are listed separately, no single objective can be accomplished without the others. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 4 Study Area The study area includes approximately 60 acres of land in the southwest part of Lino Lakes. Starting at CR J (Ash St.) on the south, the study area runs 1/4 mile north along Hodgson Rd. (CSAH 49). On the west side of Hodgson, the study area includes a triangular area of about 20 acres. On the east side of Hodgson, the study area includes 40 acres extending to Ware Road. The study originally included only 20 acres east of Hodgson, but considering the access and utility needs for the area, the effort was extended to include land all the way to Ware Road. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 5 Roads Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) is an arterial road that runs from Lino Lakes south into central St. Paul. County Road J, (CSAH 1, CSAH 32 or Ash Street), is an arterial running across much of Anoka County, from State Trunk Highway 65 on the west to I -35E on the east. Co. Rd. J forms the boundary between Lino Lakes and Shoreview. It also is the boundary of Anoka County and Ramsey County, which share responsibilities for CR J. Existing Land Uses The study area includes a variety of residential and commercial uses. A garden center, used auto lot, and auto repair business line the east side of Hodgson Rd. The auto sales business owner has acquired a five -acre lot immediately east of the existing sales lot. On the periphery of the study area, several single family homes exist on large, rural lots without water or sanitary sewer services. About 600 feet to the north is the new neighborhood of Ravens Hollow. A closed bar /restaurant sits on the northwest corner of Hodgson Road and CRJ. To the north of that is an insurance office. Next is a liquor store with an apartment on the second floor. Further north is a 17 -acre parcel running for 1000 feet up the west side of Hodgson. This parcel includes a house and some out buildings. Several existing neighborhoods border the study area: Woodridge Estates and Blomquist Addition to the west, Rohavic Oaks to the north, and homes south of CR J in Shoreview. Discussions with property owners at a March 2005 open house and throughout 2005 were a vital part of the study. Some want to develop their site, some want to continue the existing use for now, but have plans for future development. Others have no plan to change their use of their site. The figure below shows the existing uses.

Comprehensive Plan Proposed Land Use Map and Zoning Comprehensive Plan Proposed Land Use Map The 2002 Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan guides the study area for Mixed Use, Medium Density Residential, and Commercial. The following passages from the Comprehensive Plan describe the intent of these land use categories. The Mixed Use designation is intended to accommodate development that includes a variety of land uses. This could be a development that integrates uses in the same building, such as residential units above commercial space. It also might include different uses in separate locations as elements of a larger development, as part of a master plan. page 97, as amended by Resolution 05 -153 Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 7 The medium and high density residential land uses have been proposed in close proximity to the City's commercial locations as a means of providing convenient access to commercial goods and services, nearby market support for the commercial businesses, and reduced traffic impacts between these land uses. The Comprehensive Plan stresses the integration of commercial and medium density residential land uses. page 86 The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to identify commercial locations within the City that will provide attractive shopping environments and convenient access to retail goods and services for community residents. page 88 The study area is entirely within the Stage 1 (pre -2010) growth area. The "Staged Growth Area Rules" in Comprehensive Plan include: 1. Development through year 2010 shall be confined to the 2010 staged growth area. The City will annually evaluate community growth prior to expanding into the 2020 staged growth area. 2. Excess acreage exists within the 2010 and 2020 growth areas. Properties within a staged growth area without designated MUSA have no vested right to MUSA. These lands may pursue a MUSA allocation with a City approved development application. page 72 The Metropolitan Urban Service Area, or MUSA, is the area within which the City can extend sanitary sewer service. The western 2/3 of the study area is within the existing MUSA. The eastern 20 acres, on the west side of Ware Road is outside the existing MUSA. Zoning The zoning of the study area includes General Business and Rural. The General Business includes a wide variety of businesses including retail, service, and semi - industrial uses. They may contain businesses which tend to serve other business and industry as well as those catering to shoppers' needs. The Rural zone includes typical agricultural uses, but also in intended to guide development along an orderly design. That is, the Rural zone often serves as a "holding" zone until urbanization occurs. South of CR J, in the City of Shoreview, land is guided and zoned for single family residential use except for the commercial land at the corners of Hodgson and CR J. The following figures show future land use and zoning from the comprehensive plans and zoning maps of both Lino Lakes and Shoreview.

There is an existing trail easement between two lots which was dedicated with the plat of the Woodridge Estates neighborhood. Though the easement is only ten feet wide, a trail was paved in this easement. The Trail System Plan envisions this trail as a connection to land to the west of Woodridge Estates. Whether or not such a western extension is feasible, the existing trail does allow a connection to Woodridge Lane, which then provides access to Woods of Baldwin Lake Park to the north. An east/west, pedestrian and bicycle route through the study area would provide a connection to a trail along Ware Road. The parks plan also shows Natural Resource Protection Areas in the northeast area. These are wetland areas that will be protected by existing wetland law or may be important plant communities. The Natural Resource Conservation Areas in the northeast and northwest portions of the study area are uplands with features that have high ecological value. These areas should be examined for the potential for protection. A Natural Resource Enhancement Corridor is shown to indicate that an area could be considered for a trail to connect the two other areas.

The shallow water table constrains some development options that would require below -grade construction. Wetlands create some challenges for routing roads and utilities. However, the wetlands also can be viewed as the basis of an open space amenity area that can be incorporated into site designs. Proper buffering of the wetlands can protect water quality and enhance the quality of these open spaces. This approach fits with the City's conservation development philosophy, whereby new development would create significant public values beyond those achievable under conventional development.

Any development of the study area must recognize the existing abutting neighborhoods of Woodridge Estates, Blomquist Addition, Rohavic Oaks, Ware Road and Hodgson Road residents in Lino Lakes, as well as the existing residential development south of CR J in Shoreview. These will continue as stable residential neighborhoods. Design of new development must take into account potential impacts on the neighbors. Also noted previously, some property owners want to develop their site, some want to continue the existing use for now, but have plans for future development. Others have no plan to change their use of their site. For example, a garden center and an auto sales business exist on Hodgson Road. Both these businesses are consistent with the Proposed Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan: the sites are guided for commercial use. The garden center owner wants to continue running the business on the site. Immediately to the south, the auto sales lot owner also plans to continue doing business. However, either one of these two sites could be redeveloped. The garden center has several buildings, but the site could be redeveloped either for expansion of the garden sales business or for a completely different use. The auto sales property is mostly undeveloped and could be used for a variety of things. Land at the northwest corner of CR J and Ware Road is owned by a developer hoping to create a small townhome development on the site. This is consistent with the Proposed Land Use Map, which guides the site for medium density residential use. On the west side of Hodgson Road, there are several properties under different ownership. The existing buildings are on small parcels near the street intersection. A larger parcel of 17 acres lies to the north of the retail area and is largely vacant with only a house and some small outbuildings. A developer is working to develop the 17 acres. It would be desirable to include the smaller parcels in a redevelopment project. No specific plans have been offered on the other properties in the study area. The important point is that road, utility, and development plans for the area should provide both for future development and for continuing the existing businesses on the site at least for the short term until redevelopment options arise. Accommodating both possibilities poses challenges. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 15 Roads, Access Creating new local access and circulation is vital to development in the study area. Creating new road alignments must address three issues: access and circulation, development parcel size, and road right of way width. Addressing these will require cooperation between different agencies and jurisdictions. Access and Circulation Access management is an important aspect of planning new road alignments. A number of studies have demonstrated a relationship between the number of full access points on major roadways and the number of crashes. The City's Comprehensive Plan addresses this issue with the recommendation to Maintain Hodgson Road and County Road J as "A" minor arterial streets. With this functional classification, the right -of -way width and roadway design should promote traffic movement and limit direct site access. page 137 Managing access to the arterial roads in the study area supports several sound planning goals, including: maintaining an acceptable level of mobility on the roads; reducing the potential for safety problems; and promoting appropriate property access. The intersection of Hodgson and CR J functions poorly now at peak periods. Traffic will continue to increase, further degrading traffic conditions at the intersection. Most of this traffic is generated outside of the study area, but significant development in the study area will generate additional traffic. Development within the area will require good, safe access and circulation. Planning for the study area must acknowledge that the intersection must be improved. This requires improvements to Hodgson Rd. and CR J, but also requires designing clearly defined access points and internal circulation within the study area. Because of the delay at the Hodgson/CR J intersection, drivers are diverting through residential neighborhoods in Shoreview to avoid delays at the intersection. This is a clear example of how traffic growth over time creates the need for road improvements; in this case, the intersection and approaches to it. Insufficient transportation infrastructure results in ripple effects on surrounding areas such as the cut - through traffic on residential streets. On the Lino Lakes side, Hodgson Road, CR J, and Ware Road are the only roads in the study area. No existing local streets provide access to and circulation within the interior of the study area. Defining the access points onto the arterials and collector also includes recognizing that the number of accesses will be limited. The intent is that access to land will be via new, internal circulation roads rather than with individual driveways onto Hodgson and CR J. The new roads will access Hodgson and CR J at specific locations. Limiting the number of accesses to the main roads supports continuing mobility on the main roads. It also minimizes potential safety problems. This will be better than if individual driveways access the arterials at numerous places. Individual driveways interfere with mobility and pose Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 16 safety hazards. Therefore, eliminating existing driveways that now access the arterial roads goes along with creating the new access points. Speed limits are important considerations for planning improvements and access points. Both Hodgson Road and CR J are classified as minor arterials. The speed limit is 50 mph on Hodgson north of CR J, but 45 mph to the south in Ramsey County. On CR J, the speed limit is 35 mph at the Hodgson intersection. The speed limit increases to 50 mph approximately 2,000 feet to the west and about 2,600 feet to the east of Hodgson Rd. The speed limit on Ware Rd. in the area is 45 mph. Extensive discussions with the Anoka County Highway Department have resulted in some specific design parameters. These discussion included the recognition of conflicting interests. Property owners want direct and extensive access to their properties. However, numerous accesses impede traffic flow on collector and arterial roads and create safety hazards. It is also important to avoid disadvantaging one property by treating a neighboring property more favorably. County and City staff worked toward the goal of reaching a balance among these interests and creating a system of access points, circulation routes, and needed road improvements that will provide good access to all properties while ensuring public safety and keeping traffic flowing on arterial roads. Access Locations Hodgson Road: When development occurs, there should be one access to Hodgson, approximately 990 feet north of CR J. This point would have an access from both east and west, creating a full access intersection (not blocked with a median). Turn lanes would be necessary on Hodgson Road. Anoka County has not eliminated the possibility that a median could block the intersection if future safety concerns arise. Co. Rd. J: There also should be one access to CR J between Hodgson and Ware. Anoka County has agreed to one access between Hodgson and Ware, which would be constructed as right in/right out, with individual driveways being eliminated as development occurs. Because there will be one access, it must be a public road, not a private road or driveway. It should be located as close as possible to being centered between Hodgson and Ware Roads. Aligning it with Kent Street on the south is an option. This would eliminate the offset between the two. However, Anoka County will require that this new road access be a right in/right out access. This would prevent almost every conflicting movement normally seen with an offset, so the offset would not be a concern. There should be one access to CR J between Hodgson Road and Woodridge Lane. This would be as far west as possible to create the greatest possible separation from the Hodgson/CR J intersection. Anoka County has stated that this access must be constructed as right in/right out. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 17 Thus, 15 existing driveway access points on Hodgson and CR J would be reduced to four access points. This reduction from 15 individual, random driveways to four properly designed access points would be a significant public safety improvement. The access points are shown on the final Master Plan. Signalization The Hodgson /CR J intersection should be signalized. The City recognizes the need to plan for the right of way to accommodate signalization. The City also recognizes the need for inter - jurisdictional cooperation because CR J forms the border between Anoka and Ramsey Counties and between the Cities of Lino Lakes and Shoreview. Discussions between staff from these jurisdictions have resulted in agreement that the signalization is needed and the recognition that it is a shared responsibility to accomplish this goal. Parcel Size In addition to access needs, the design of new internal roads should allow for the creation of parcels of property that are large enough to develop. The parcels must accommodate buildings, parking, access drives, and site amenities such as landscaping or other features. The street system must take into account existing uses as well as the potential for future development. Right of Way Road rights of way must be large enough to accommodate vehicle movement, pedestrian sidewalks or trails, utility easements, and landscaping. While it is possible to have utilities in separate easements, this uses additional land. It is most efficient to include utilities in the road rights of way. Additional right of way will be needed for Hodgson and CR J, especially at their intersection. The intersection of these arterials will need additional right of way for signalization and turn lanes. The specific dimensions will require further joint planning among Anoka County, Ramsey County, the City of Shoreview, and Lino Lakes. The offset of Ware Road and Mackubin Street should be addressed by acquiring right of way to allow Ware Road to be realigned to the west and form a four -way intersection. The purpose is to eliminate the danger posed by left turns at an offset intersection. Signalizing the Hodgson/CR J intersection will facilitate north/south traffic and eliminate the incentive to cut through the Shoreview neighborhood to avoid delay at the Hodgson/CR J intersection. The City recognizes that providing access to land within the study area probably will take different forms. In the area between Hodgson and Ware Roads, the best approach is a new Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 18 public roadway. One end would access CR J, the other end would access Hodgson. The access locations are shown on the Master Plan. To the west of Hodgson, the triangular configuration is not conducive to creating a complete road in a right of way. The study area only has about 300 feet fronting CR J, which does not allow for a public right of way without severely limiting development potential on the property there. The preferred solution there is for the parking drive design to create what would be, in effect, a backage road running up from CR J through property to the north and then out to Hodgson at the location described above. This would require access easements between properties, which would be required as conditions of development approvals. It is possible that such an approach would be appropriate in the eastern part of the study area, between Hodgson and Ware Roads. However, the access drive method requires a larger development plan rather than individual development on numerous small parcels. It also may be possible to create a new public road on the west portion of the study area, but this option is unlikely, as noted above. The width and specific alignments of the internal roads and /or access drives will be examined with potential development designs. However, the points at which they access CR J and Hodgson Road are to be consistent with the descriptions above and as shown on the final Master Plan. Utilities: Water and Sanitary Sewer If the area is to develop, it must have municipal water and sanitary sewer service. Providing these utilities to the study area poses numerous challenges. The water and sanitary sewer figures show the locations of existing municipal utilities. Several potential locations for utility service connections have been considered: • Shoreview • Woodridge Lane • White Pine Road, approximately'/ mile to the north of the study area • Ravens Court, approximately 1/8 mile north of the study area • Ware Road There are several common issues for water and sanitary sewer service in this area. For an area that lacks both utilities, it is financially cost effective to plan both in the same alignment. This avoids the need to acquire easements for separate alignments, and both can be constructed at the same time. However, there are some issues that apply to one but not to the other. In particular, the need to loop the water system. Issues for utility service are described below. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 19 Water Main All the properties in the area with existing uses have individual wells for water. Homes on Woodridge Lane have municipal water, but there is no service between the Woodridge Estates neighborhood and Ware Rd. The City of Lino Lakes has recognized the need to loop its trunk lines. Water trunk looping is needed in order to provide adequate water service, particularly fire protection. Looping the system allows for better flow and water pressure. Looping also provides alternative service if water is interrupted from one direction. Neither the trunk in Woodridge Lane nor the trunk in Ware Rd. are looped to other trunks. Both trunks end near the Hodgson/CR J area. The City needs to loop the water even if no new development occurs. New development provides new easements because it needs utility service. If no new development occurs, the City faces the need to acquire new easements solely at City cost. Sanitary Sewer The majority of properties in the study area have onsite septic systems for wastewater treatment. Only a few properties in the area have municipal sewer service . These are all west of Hodgson. They include homes on the north side of CR J, the closed bar /restaurant site, the existing insurance building, and the existing liquor store. There are capacity issues with some of the connection alternatives. The city's draft comprehensive sanitary sewer plan assumed that land west of Hodgson would be served by the system west of Hodgson (which includes the Woodridge Lane and White Pine Road options), and land east of Hodgson would be served by the system east of Hodgson (which includes the Ware Road and Ravens Court options). Connection Location Options • Shoreview Water: The Cities of Lino Lakes and Shoreview have a water interconnect at Woodridge Lane. In the past, this interconnect provided ongoing, supplementary water availability. However, Shoreview has closed this connection. It is available for emergency water service, but not available on an ongoing basis. This has increased the importance of looping the Lino Lakes system. Sewer: There are a few parcels with sewer service served by a special service pipe that connects to the City of Shoreview sewer system. Shoreview has stated that it will not plan to accommodate additional Lino Lakes development through this service line. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 20 Therefore, service for the rest of the study area must be provided by the Lino Lakes system. • Woodridge Lane Water: The City needs to create a loop connection to the Woodridge Lane water trunk, west of the study area. Because of this need, connecting to the Woodridge Lane water trunk is a priority. The challenge lies in the lack of any specified corridor for a utility easement between the existing homes. The water loop could run along CR J, then turn north through new development in the study area. The CR J right of way is 100 feet wide in this location (50 feet on each side of the centerline). There are numerous private utility services in this right of way such as natural gas, electricity, cable tv, and fiber optics. Running a new water pipe would require moving these utilities or acquiring a new easement. Moving the private utilities would be expensive. The remaining option is to acquire a new easement outside of the existing road right of way that would not affect the private utilities. Sewer: As noted in the description of water service, there is no corridor between existing homes for a utility easement to connect to the Woodridge Lane utilities. Connecting to this sewer line would require a new easement. Early preliminary analyses did not include the Woodridge Lane option because of the lack of access through the existing residential lots. However, if such a connection is possible through a new easement, this would be the most desirable option because the system east of Hodgson has capacity constraints that may affect development potential. It is likely that a lift station will be needed to connect to this line because of its shallow depth. • White Pine Road Water: There is service available in White Pine Road, about % mile north of the study area. Connecting to this would require either utilizing an easement through the Rohavic Oaks residential properties or running along Hodgson to Rohavic Lane, and running the pipe in Rohavic Lane and Laurene Ave. There is an existing Metropolitan Council utility easement between the home lots that has the potential for being used for city utilities. This route could provide a loop from Woodridge. The Ware Road trunk could be connected to this new trunk when development fills in the gap. The major obstacle for this option is the Rohavic Oaks neighborhood. The comprehensive plan guides the Rohavic Oaks neighborhood as Unsewered Low Density Residential and the City has received only one inquiry from this neighborhood about utility service. Without property owner participation, there would be insufficient funding for utilities and road reconstruction. Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 21 Sewer: As with water, there is a sanitary sewer line in White Pine Road, about'/ mile north of the study area. Connecting to this would require running the pipe in Laurene Avenue and Rohavic Lane. It also would require either utilizing an easement through the Rohavic Oaks residential properties or running along Hodgson to Rohavic Lane. In addition, the comprehensive plan guides this neighborhood as Low Density Unsewered Residential (no utilities to be provided) and the City has received only one inquiry from this neighborhood about providing utilities. Without property owner participation, there would be insufficient funding for utilities and road reconstruction. • Ravens Court Water: Connection to the Ravens Court water is possible. This could address the need to loop the water system to Woodridge or Ware. Sewer: Connection to the Ravens Court sanitary sewer is possible, depending on depth issues and the potential need for a lift station. However, the Raven's Court pipe flows into the Linda Ave. line, which has capacity constraints because of its size. • Ware Road Water: The Ware Rd. properties are undeveloped, so the opportunity exists to plan utility service alignment as land develops. As property develops along Ware Road, the trunk can be brought from that side. However, it will be necessary to provide the water loop as development is planned. Sewer: The Ware Rd. properties are undeveloped, so the opportunity exists to plan utility service alignment as land develops. As property develops along Ware Road, the trunk can be brought from that side. The Ware Road trunk is relatively shallow. Depending on grade elevations for new development, a lift station may be needed. The Ware Rd. pipe is constrained by the capacity of Lift Station No. 3, which handles all the Ware Rd. flow. Even if the lift station's pumps are upgraded, there is a limit on its capacity. The size of the force main from the lift station also limits the potential capacity of this segment of the system. Both the Ware Rd. and Ravens Court pipes flow to Linda Ave. The Linda Ave. pipe itself has a capacity constraint due to its size, which therefore constrains both the pipes flowing into it.

The earlier concept plans were intended to provide a basis for discussion as the study progressed. The final concept plan evolved from the earlier plans and additional research. By its very nature, a concept plan is inexact, a collection of ideas. The concept plans were not intended to eliminate existing businesses. Rather, they were intended to generate discussion by showing a general land use design with some specifics, such as road alignments and access points. An initial plan was presented to a neighborhood meeting on March 22, 2005. This plan intended to accomplish the following: • preservation of natural resource areas • allow for phased development and utilities (connect to utilities in Ware Road) • good access and circulation • provide access for new development • provide for stormwater treatment and management • conservation development: create significant public values beyond those achievable under conventional development, including: • preserving natural habitat • creating more open space for natural habitat, neighborhood recreation and trails • design quality, well - landscaped neighborhoods The March concept plan also attempted to address gateway design issues. This included keeping the corner buildings close to the street corners and other elements to create a human scale environment, friendly to pedestrians and bicyclists. A major trail along Hodgson is an important part of the City's Parks and Trails Plan. Residential development in the area should have easy walking and biking access to this transportation trail and to new businesses as well. The March concept plan is shown below. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 25 March 2005 CONCEPT PLAN LANDFORM COUNTY ROAD J REDEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN Carr or LAO LA,. MANCH 22, 205 Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 26 The March concept plan generated very informative discussions and helpful input from landowners and residents. Several business owners didn't see their businesses pictured on the concept plan and worried that the City was trying to drive them out. They stated they intended to remain on their site, even expand their existing businesses. This misunderstanding enforced the need for further communication, which was accomplished via meetings, conversations, and correspondence. These both helped clarify the goals of the study for landowners and informed the study process regarding landowners' plans and needs. This educational process led to a second set of concept plans in June 2005. Knowing that some of the existing businesses planned to remain led to realigning the new roads to follow existing property lines. This provides for new road and utility corridors while minimizing impacts on both the existing garden center and the auto sales lot. Expansion is possible, and the new road and utility corridors provide access to utilities and to Hodgson and CR J. Concepts A and B differ in the specific alignments of the internal roads. The alignments result in different approaches to designing the land at the northwest corner of CR J and Ware Road. The actual layout of that site has yet to be determined. However, both Concepts A and B provide a corridor to Ware Road for utilities, through the development site. It might be preferable to align the new road access to CR J with the existing Kent Street in Shoreview, as in Concept B. However, aligning it with the property boundary is acceptable, even though it creates an offset. The likelihood of a median in CR J makes a full access there somewhat questionable, so the offset would become moot. Though both concepts show a full access, this has yet to be determined. The June concept plans led to further, more detailed planning and discussions with land owners. On the west side of Hodgson, a developer is pursuing a plan to develop the 17 acres to the north of the existing buildings. This would include new retail as well as a senior housing campus. Including the redevelopment of those existing buildings would be preferable, as it would allow for overall master planning of that area west of Hodgson. The land owner at the northwest corner of Ware Road and CR J is pursuing a townhome development. If utilities for the study area connect to Ware Road, this townhome development would include a corridor for the water and sanitary sewer. The June concept plans also formed the basis of discussions with the Anoka County Highway Dept., Ramsey County Public Works., the City of Shoreview City Engineer, and Lino Lakes staff. All agreed that the Hodgson/CR J intersection needs improvement, and a collaborative solution is needed. Subsequently, Anoka County Hwy. prepared a plan for the intersection and road improvements. Lino Lakes prepared a traffic study. Ramsey County contributed data for the study. All jurisdictions will need to examine funding possibilities and cooperative planning.

The Master Plan is intended to establish a general land use design with some specifics, such as road alignments, access points, and specified important design elements. It is not intended to drive out existing businesses. The Master Plan does not mandate the exact site layout or specific uses of individual parcels. However, because infrastructure design is the driving force of the study, individual parcel design must take into account the infrastructure needs for the larger study area. In addition, the plan specifies some fundamental design elements in specified locations to provide a common framework for all development in the area. Both the Master Plan drawing and the accompanying Planning and Development Objectives should be considered together to guide decisions on development. While recognizing the importance of the Land Use Map, it's important to acknowledge the realities of land development. Future development may involve assembling several land parcels. Site ayouts may need some exibility to ensure efficient design and safety, especially i creating access locations and internal circulation. In addition, natural features don't follow wear property boundaries. Because of these and other factors, the actual boundaries on the Proposed Land Use Map should be considered somewhat flexible in order to accommodate development or redevelopment proposals within the study area. That is, a development plan that differs from the land use map in minor ways should not be rejected automatically as inconsistent with the ma�j. The Master Plan includes important amendments to the Proposed Land Use Map in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Map is the guide for development in the city and the study area should develop with the land uses as shown on the map. Mixed use development is becoming more and more common, and the Hodgson/CR J area is a good location for it. The west side of Hodgson already is guided Mixed Use. The Master Plan recommends that the east side area currently guided Commercial be amended to Mixed Use. This would allow for, though not mandate, the inclusion of residential units, possibly in multi -story buildings. This would provide customers for the commercial development, and the commercial services would be convenient to the residents. There are a few specific locations that deserve attention from the perspective of the Proposed Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning map. These minor inconsistencies should be addressed with the amendment of the Land Use Map. In the extreme southwest corner of the study area is a parcel forming a narrow strip that runs northwest/southeast. This parcel is guided for residential land use but zoned General Business. The narrow strip is not useable by itself and must be incorporated into the redevelopment of the abutting property. The land use map should be amended to include this piece in the Mixed Use land use category. The General Business zoning is appropriate. On the north edge of the study area, a parcel between Hodgson and Ware Roads is guided Commercial on the Hodgson side but the area east of the wetland is guided for Medium Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 30 Density Residential. As noted above, the western portion should be guided Mixed Use. The specifics of the site — especially a wetland delineation — likely will determine how far commercial development will extend east. Allowing for a flexible edge of the land uses, as recommended above, will allow a design that is sensitive to the natural resources. The zoning should remain General Business. Any future development review will examine rezoning needs. On the Ware Road side of the study area, a parcel is guided both Medium Density Residential and Low Density Sewered Residential. How or even if development will occur there is unknown. For consistency, the entire parcel should be guided Medium Density. The Rural zoning is appropriate. Any future development review will examine rezoning needs. Planning and Development Objectives General • This Master Plan is to be incorporated into the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan with an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. This includes amendments to the Proposed Land Use Map: the area east of Hodgson Road should be designated Mixed Use instead of Commercial. Minor inconsistencies in the Proposed Land Use Map should be corrected as well, and zoning amendments should follow if and when appropriate . • The land use boundaries on the Proposed Land Use Map should be considered somewhat flexible in order to accommodate natural features, land assembly and other physical issues. • Rezoning as part of new development applications will be examined for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and this 49/J Master Plan. • The Master Plan is the guiding plan for development in the area. The Master Plan is intended to show a general land use arrangement with some specific design elements. The individual site layouts and uses are to be determined as part of the development review process, but should be based on the Master Plan, including specific elements noted below. • Tax increment financing and tax abatement on qualifying properties should be considered potential tools for implementing the Master Plan. Transportation and Access • Accesses to Hodgson Road and Co. Rd. J are to be located at the points indicated on the Master Plan. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 31 o There is to be one full access on Hodgson Road, located 990± feet north of the CR J intersection (approx. 330 feet south of the northern edge of the study area). This access is to be centered on the property line east of Hodgson at this location. No other new permanent accesses are to be allowed. As development occurs, the City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along Hodgson. o Temporary accesses onto Hodgson Road may be considered if one property develops prior to the creation of access to CR J. Such temporary accesses must be removed when the CR J access is created. The removal must be included in conditions of approval for the project. o Between Hodgson and Ware Roads, there is to be only one new access onto CR J, located as close as possible to midway between Hodgson and Ware. This access should be centered on the mid -way property line. This new access is to be constructed as right in/right out only. No other new accesses are to be allowed. The City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along CR J. o From the full access on Hodgson, a circulation route is to be created leading east of Hodgson to the access point on CR J, providing access to all properties in the area. This should be a public road. However, an access drive with mutual easements across properties is a possible solution if it provides adequate access and circulation. o West of Hodgson Rd., there is to be one access onto CR J, located as far west as possible from the Hodgson/CR J intersection. This new access is to be constructed as right in /right out only. This will be a driveway into the development site , and there will be access easements on that site to provide access to, from, and through property to the north, leading to the full access on Hodgson. No other new accesses are to be allowed. The City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along CR J. • The access points, right of way, and internal circulation routes noted above are to create a circulation network serving all properties in the study area rather than individual driveways onto arterial and collector roads that serve only individual properties. • For properties on the eastern edge of the study area, access to Ware Road is a possibility if the City judges the design to be safe. This does not preclude the need for public right of way or easements elsewhere. • The Hodgson/CR J intersection is to be signalized prior to or as part of any significant development in the study area. This is to be a cooperative effort of Anoka and Ramsey Counties, the Cities of Lino Lakes and Shoreview, and developers. Specific design requirements are to be determined. • Other road improvement needs such as additional lanes, median, and the like will be designed in cooperation with Anoka and Ramsey Counties, the Cities of Lino Lakes and Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 32 Shoreview, and developers, as appropriate. Specific design requirements are to be determined. • The quantity of development of the area will be limited to ensure that traffic generation does not exceed the capacities of Hodgson Road, the intersection with Co Rd J, or the new access. Development shall not create the need for a traffic signal at the new full access on Hodgson Road. o Planning for the area must look forward to full development of the study area so as not to allow one project to "use up capacity" so that other sites cannot develop without creating the need for a signal at the new access. • Right of way will be dedicated with development to ensure adequate right of way for Hodgson and CR J as well as for the internal circulation system, as necessary. • The offset of Ware Road and Mackubin Street should be addressed by realignment of Ware Road to form a four -way intersection. Trails, Open Space • A trail connection, included as an `enhancement corridor' in the Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan, will be established across the study area. This will link to the existing trail connection to Woodridge Lane on the west, cross through the study area, and link to a future trail in Ware Road. The specific alignment of this trail corridor across the Master Plan area will be determined as development occurs. • An, open, focal point green space is to be created where the Woodridge Lane trail connection enters the study area. The specific design of this focal point will be reviewed with any development application for the site. • A trail should be constructed along Hodgson Road in accordance with the City's parks and trails plan. This could be accomplished with sidewalks in the study area. • The wetland complex in the northeast part of the study area, shown as `natural resource protected area' and `natural resource conservation area' in the Parks Plan, should be protected as open space to the degree possible. Detailed information submitted with development proposals will be examined to determine the possibilities for these areas. • Greenspace buffering is an important design element for new development along the border with existing neighborhoods such as Woodridge Estates and Rohavic Oaks. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 33 Municipal Utilities • All new development must have sanitary sewer and water service. Possible exceptions prior to the availability of utilities include renovation of existing structures if the building code allows it without utilities. However, the preference is for all uses in the study area to have municipal utilities. • Several options exist for utility service, as described in this study document. West of Hodgson, the preference is for connection to the Woodridge Lane sanitary sewer. • Water trunk lines must be looped, and development must provide the looping. Site Design, Urban Form • The intent is to create an urban form for the area. • Development layouts are to include buildings at intersection corners to establish the "cornerstones" of the area's urban form. • As another means of pursuing an urban form, development is to avoid lining Hodgson with large parking lots. This could include the following elements. o Buildings fronting along Hodgson in addition to the cornerstone buildings o Extensive landscaping and screening of parking lots will be required along Hodgson and CR J, including boulevard trees and decorative fencing or walls. Landscaping must be included on the street side of fences or walls along parking lots. • Larger parking areas should be planned with internal landscaping, pedestrian sidewalks or walkways and be divided into smaller areas where possible: o Pedestrian walkways provided in larger parking lots should be landscaped, include path lighting, and provide direct access for pedestrians to an entrance of a commercial building; o Walkways should be raised, paved areas or defined paths distinguished by striping or a change in paving provided that pedestrians are kept safe from vehicular travel on the route to an entrance of a commercial building. • Sidewalks are to be constructed on both sides of Hodgson Road and on the north side of Co. Rd. J to form connections to the trails to the development areas and contribute to the urban form of the area. Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 34 • Pedestrian circulation should be an important design factor within the development areas to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle circulation among businesses and residential sites. Such circulation routes must be safe and aesthetically pleasing. • Design guidelines must be prepared for any new development project in the area. Developers should submit draft guidelines with development applications. Design guidelines for each project must include attention to previous projects in order to coordinate design throughout the study area. After being refined in collaboration with City staff, design requirements shall be incorporated into the approval of the development. • Buildings must be designed with "four -sided architecture ", using the same quality materials on all sides. o All facades shall be articulated with a variety of materials, glazing, awnings, or other details to add visual interest. o Building design elements should include an expression of a building base (of brick or stone), a middle, and a top with cornice elements at the top of the first floor and the top of the building. o Roof lines and cornice details shall be completed in a three- dimensional manner so that the features on the back of the roof or similar unfinished areas are not visible o The front facade may have a unique design or more significant glazing. • Commercial buildings must incorporate trash and service areas within the buildings rather than utilizing outdoor enclosures. This will conserve land and maximize the potential for outdoor seating and pedestrian friendly amenities. • It is not the intent of this plan to specify housing unit styles. However, garage units must not access directly onto the main access drive or the main public streets through the development . • The Hodgson/Co Rd J intersection is a gateway and appropriate elements are to be included in the development of the corners of this intersection. • The interface between new residential and commercial uses should be flexible. For example, new development in central areas can be multi - family, commercial, or mixed use. This would be consistent with the flexible land use lines noted above. Maintaining safety and quality of life are important considerations. • Lighting is to be appropriately scaled to a pedestrian friendly development. Lighting should be directed downward and screened to reduce light pollution, glare, and impacts on adjacent residential areas. Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 35 • Security or service lighting should be limited in coverage area and designed to reduce glare. Stormwater Management • Stormwater management design must incorporate filtration and infiltration elements. This could include such features as rain gardens, swales, dry creeks, infiltration chambers, and other ecologically based methods along with more traditional ponds and pipes. • Stormwater management ponds, if used, should be designed to be a site amenity, including appropriate landscape elements.

The visioning process is the second phase in a three step phase of a citizen -driven process which will result in an updated comprehensive plan for the city in 2008. The first phase consisted of an extensive, scientifically valid public survey conducted in early 2006 which assessed public opinion on a variety of issues related to the quality of life in Lino Lakes. Following the visioning process, the third and final phase consists of the actual preparation of the updated comprehensive plan which will implement the citizen's long range vision. The purpose of the visioning project was to bring our citizens together to build consensus on the desired future of our city, and outline a course of goals and strategies to provide direction to city officials as to what needs to be done in order to achieve the desired vision. Carl Neu of Neu and Associates was retained by the city to develop and facilitate the visioning process. A Citizen's Visioning Committee was established using a random selection process in order to be representative of the community. Two community -wide forums were held to hear the ideas and desires that the public has for the future of Lino Lakes. Two issues of predominant importance expressed by citizens who participated in the Quality of Life Survey and Community Visioning Forums were: • Ensure quality land use, growth management, and preservation of the community's unique natural resources and amenities. • Sustain and increase the overall quality of both the community and the lives of its residents. Four vision elements emerged as the priority areas of emphasis that must be addressed in order for citizens' desires for the future to become reality. The four vision elements are: • Community, Residential and Neighborhood Development • Economic and Commercial Development • Roads and Transportation • Community and Natural Resources -87-- Four issue teams, comprised of committee members and citizens who applied to participate on the teams, developed goals and strategies for each of the issue areas. After five months and 20 meetings of work, the Citizen's Visioning Committee is submitting the resulting 2030 Vision Plan to the City Council for its acceptance as the citizen's vision of Lino Lakes in 2030 and to guide the preparation of the updated comprehensive plan for Lino Lakes. RECOMMENDATION: The Citizen's Visioning Committee is recommending the acceptance of the 2030 Vision Plan for the City of Lino Lakes. The acceptance of the 2030 Vision Plan will be accomplished by approval of Resolution No. 07 -29 Accepting the 2030 Vision Plan. • • • Council Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 07 -29 RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE 2030 VISION PLAN WHEREAS, The Lino Lakes City Council in 2006 initiated a unique process that projects the community's views and plans forward to the year 2030; and WHEREAS, the planning process included a Quality of Life Survey, a citizen - driven visioning process and a Comprehensive Plan update; and WHEREAS, The visioning process was for the purpose of providing citizens the opportunity to look ahead to the future and define the city they desire in the year 2030 and lay groundwork for the completion of the Comprehensive Plan update; and WHEREAS, The 2030 Vision Plan outlines goals and strategies designed specifically to provide input and guidance into the Comprehensive Planning effort that will commence in March 2007. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Lino Lakes City Council members do hereby accept the citizens' 2030 Vision Plan, and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Lino Lakes City Council members do hereby wish to express their appreciation to the many citizens of Lino Lakes who participated in the 2030 Vision process for their time and commitment to ensuring the best and highest quality future for Lino Lakes.

The community is progressing through a series of evolutionary phases that can be categorized as follows: Start -up The period from 1857 ending in 1955 when Lino Lakes was incorporated. Transition from rural village to growing city. Between 1955 and 1995, Lino Lakes grew from 1,800 to 13,100 in population. It experienced a steady increase in residential development, but little significant commercial and industrial development. Vision -based planned growth In 1995, the city initiated its first all- community visioning process, called 20/20 Vision, which defined initially citizens' views about the future of Lino Lakes. Lino Lakes' population increased by 50 %, to 19,700 by 2005. Continued vision -based planned growth as a "developing "community (Metropolitan Council designation) In 2006, the city initiated the Spotlight on 2030 visioning process, inclusive of the current citizenry of Lino Lakes, as a component of its comprehensive planning process. 2006 to 2030 will be a period of continued growth in the "developing edge" (1) of the northern section of the Twin Cities metropolitan region. This growth is projected to progress northward, encompassing Lino Lakes and adjacent communities. INTRODUCTION TO LINO LAKES' PLANNING PROCESS The Metropolitan Council has designated Lino Lakes as a "developing community ", and has mandated that all communities in the metropolitan area extend their planning horizon to the year 2030. Lino Lakes is a recognized metro leader in coordinated planning efforts that balance the need for natural resource protection with the need to accommodate growth. The city recognized that significant changes are likely to occur by the year 2030, and initiated a unique process that projects the community's views and plans forward to the year 2030. (1) An analysis of this projected "developing edge" is contained in Appendix A. It focuses on the projected growth within the region and the potential demand for residential and commercial development in the City of Lino Lakes through the year 2030. 3 This three -part process (2) began with an extensive, scientifically valid public survey (3) in early 2006. It continued with SPOTLIGHT on 2030, an all- community visioning that was completed in early 2007, and will conclude with a thorough Comprehensive Plan update. The public survey examined citizens' views about their quality of life. The visioning process provided the opportunity for interested residents to look ahead to the future and define the city they desire in 2030. The Comprehensive Plan will implement the city's long -range vision and provide a guide for city officials to make those decisions necessary for achieving the vision. A fourth element fortuitously has been added to the effort. The Rice Creek Watershed District (the local unit of government authorized to conserve natural resources through land use planning, flood control, and other conservation projects) is preparing a Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the city — the first RMP to cover an entire city. Lino Lakes has a unique opportunity to integrate this RMP into the Comprehensive Plan. This SPOTLIGHT on 2030 Vision Plan is the completion of the second step in the continuum, and will lead into the Comprehensive Planning process in 2007. WHAT IS A VISION PLAN? Communities are future seeking. But first, they must be able to imagine and decide what they want the future to be. Secondly, they must decide how they are going to make this desired future become a reality. Strategic thinking is a process that brings people from all walks of life together to think about the future, create a vision, and invent ways to make this future happen through community teamwork and disciplined actions. It is an act of leadership — making things happen that would not otherwise happen and preventing things from happening that might ordinarily occur. It is getting people to work together to achieve common goals and aspirations, and to develop strategies that transform visions into reality. A Vision Plan is a document recording what people think — a broad blueprint for positive change that defines a vision and key outcomes that must occur to attain this vision. Other implementation efforts and plans such as comprehensive resource management, financial, (2) The three-part planning process beginning with the Quality of Life Survey and concluding with the city's adoption of a Comprehensive Plan, (which will contain the RMP) is portrayed in Appendix B. (3) The Summary Report of the Quality of Life Survey by Decision Resources is contained in Appendix C. 4 and development and redevelopment plans will assist the community, the city council, and city administration in achieving the vision. The Vision Plan will challenge and stretch the community's imagination in defining what is possible and test its will to commit to a great and exciting, rather than "good enough ", future. It also will help forge and sustain the critical partnerships and relationships that will make the Plan a reality. DEVELOPMENT OF THE LINO LAKES VISION PLAN Traditionally, community visioning efforts occur as distinct undertakings, separate from comprehensive planning, that result in a citizen - created document (vision plan) presented to the city council for its consideration. The vision plan can be used to set direction and create appropriate plans and policies affecting the community's future. The three -part planning continuum initiated by the Lino Lakes City Council actively engages citizens and integrates their participation from the beginning of the process up to the completion of the Comprehensive Plan. Each phase of the planning process allows for the imagination of the people and content of the work product they provide to be enriched and refined until finally a profoundly crafted result is achieved — the Comprehensive and Resource Management Plans. These final plans, and their associated official policy tools, will bring about in a disciplined manner the future that is consistent with the vision the community desires. The plans, once approved, must be accompanied by official controls such as zoning and subdivision ordinances and natural resource preservation policies needed to implement the citizens' vision. The visioning portion of this integrated effort began in September 2006 with the selection of a Citizen Visioning Committee. Members of this committee were selected at random from the entire Lino Lakes community. These volunteers both guided and participated in the citizen -driven process. Community Forums were held in October to generate public input, in addition to that derived from the Quality of Life Survey. At these forums, citizens selected the issues of primary importance to them and contributed to identifying the core elements that needed to be addressed in the SPOTLIGHT on 2030 Vision Plan. Issue Project Teams, comprised of members of the Citizen Visioning Committee and additional volunteers from the community, addressed each core vision element and prepared a vision statement, goals, rationale and proposed strategies for inclusion in the SPOTLIGHT on 2030 Vision Plan. These Issue Project Teams utilized city staff liaisons and other resource persons to gain insight into various issues. This insight helped shape strategic approaches to the future based upon a carefully studied and realistic assessment of factual data, factors, trends, events, and options likely to influence and shape the city's progression to 2030. On February 12, 2007, the SPOTLIGHT on 2030 Vision Plan was presented by the Citizen Visioning Committee and Issue Project Teams to the city council for acceptance 5 both as a guide to Lino Lakes' journey to the year 2030 and as citizen input to those involved in the successive effort to create the Comprehensive and Resource Management Plans. The Vision Plan will be forwarded to those responsible for the creation and adoption of the Comprehensive and Resource Management Plans and accompanying official policy documents. SPOTLIGHT ON 2030: THE LINO LAKES VISION In the year 2030, Lino Lakes is a city of approximately 30,000 residents. It is a friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and well - planned community that enjoys a rural ambience, carefully preserved and accessible natural resources and environmental amenities, quality park and recreational facilities, good schools, well maintained roads and infrastructure, and safe neighborhoods that offer a variety of housing to meet the needs of all ages and lifestyles. The predominantly residential city has provided for a well - planned mix of retail, dining and entertainment activities that integrate into and serve the commercial needs of neighborhoods. The city also enjoys a strong and diversified tax base achieved through a balance of economic and commercial activities which are located in designated areas of the city. These activities provide a mix of office, light industrial, high tech, professional and financial businesses, employment and service opportunities. Lino Lakes' city government is fiscally responsible and a good steward of the community's many municipal assets. It provides efficient and cost - effective services from its highly- professional and service- oriented employees. Citizen participation and input are sought to identify and address problems and challenges through well- reasoned solutions. The city has a reputation for innovation and for sustaining positive working relationships among all elements of the community. Volunteerism and a strong sense of community and civic responsibility enrich the city and the quality of life enjoyed by its residents. VISION ELEMENTS: AREAS OF STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE As Lino Lakes progresses to 2030, the two issues of predominant importance expressed by citizens who participated in the Quality of Life Survey and Community Visioning Forums can be summarized as: • Ensure quality land use, growth management, and preservation of the community's unique natural resources and amenities. • Sustain and increase the overall quality of both the community and the lives of its residents. 6 Four vision elements emerged as the priority areas of emphasis that must be addressed in order for citizens' desires for the future to become reality. The order of the Vision Elements does not imply priority; all are of equal importance and must be dealt with competently in the Comprehensive and Resource Management Plans and pursued through resolute community support and city leadership. The four vision elements are: • Community, Residential and Neighborhood Development • Economic and Commercial Development • Roads and Transportation • Community Amenities and Natural Resources. For each Vision Element, the primary outcome desired is stated as a 2030 vision statement followed by proposed long -range goals, the rationale supporting each goal, and suggested strategies to be pursued. Goals reflect outcomes desired (community priorities); strategies define specific means that can be taken (action steps) toward attaining the goal. USE OF THE VISION PLAN The SPOTLIGHT on 2030 Vision Plan is designed specifically to provide input and guidance into the Comprehensive Planning part of the entire effort and, as such, is not a stand -alone undertaking. In fact, the "approval" of the outcome of this entire three -part effort occurs only when the resultant Comprehensive Plan with its Resource Management component is adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council and approved by the Metropolitan Council. For this reason, it is important that the people instrumental in creating the SPOTLIGHT on 2030 Vision Plan be encouraged to continue their involvement and participation in the subsequent proceedings to create and adopt the Comprehensive Plan and related official controls. The Citizen Visioning Committee, Issue Project Teams, and citizens participating in the community forums understand and emphasize the point that their participation and input is part of the evolutionary process to think about, plan, and apply new perspectives, information and approaches to land -use decisions and natural resource management. 2030 is nearly a quarter century away. There will be several times during the journey when the community will pause to revisit and update its views, plans and approaches pertaining to the future of the city. This is just good leadership, stewardship and citizenship. The goal is to continue to improve the quality of our city and the lives of its citizens. The residents of Lino Lakes have great hopes for the future. This plan encompasses their vision and provides pathways to that future. 7 S ?OTLFCHI T ON Committing to a strategic perspective of the future raises an immediate and profound question. How, as a result of this strategic Spotlight on 2030 Plan, will the City and its key decision makers have to THINK and ACT differently from how they did in the past as Lino Lakes progresses towards its future? 8 Community, Residential and Neighborhood Development The Lino Lakes community is expected to experience a period of population, housing and commercial growth. Planning for growth is the city's greatest challenge and opportunity. A positive outcome is not achieved through denial or regression. It is achieved through imagination, planning, and responsible stewardship. There are three opportunities to be realized: • The opportunity to imagine and achieve a robust and exciting future that reflects unique creativity, is carefully planned, amenity driven, preserves what the community values, and reflects the citizens' dreams • The opportunity to assert civic, political, and community leadership committed to and guided by a strategic plan that achieves the desired future to the fullest extent realistically possible. • The opportunity to make Lino Lakes the "show case" community it has demonstrated it has the capacity to become — a great place to live, work and play — and a model for other communities to follow. 2030 Vision Lino Lakes is a well- designed and aesthetically pleasing community that has retained its strong sense of identity and pride, neighborhood orientation, and commitment to preserving its many precious and unique natural resources and amenities. These assets contribute to the quality of life valued and enjoyed by its citizens. The citizens of Lino Lakes have achieved, enhanced, and sustained their community, rich in quality and spirit, through conserving and preserving that which they value and desire. They have achieved this through sound comprehensive planning and accompanying official controls, and the creation and application of strategic innovations in community planning and development. Goal 1: Create and adopt a Comprehensive Plan that fosters a unified vision and future for the city, promotes .a well- planned community, prevents fragmented development, addresses the impacts of development an d redevelopment on natural aesthetics and view corridors, and provides balanced land use and connectivity that ensures the integration of both sides of the regional park. 4 Rationale: A carefully created Comprehensive Plan will ensure the community's ability to grow in a rational and responsible manner, preclude decision making processes that overlook long -range land use implications, and help ensure fulfillment of citizens' desires for a well - planned community and preservation of their quality of life. 9 Strategies: • Create a Comprehensive Plan for housing development that defines the types and locations of housing development required to meet the community's projected needs. • Work closely with neighboring communities to ensure an integrated plan that is consistent with the Metropolitan Council's requirements and compatible with adjacent jurisdictions. • Develop a calendar of updates and reviews that ensures the comprehensive plan is kept current and provides a rationale for all decisions with city -wide implications. Goal 2: Ensure that zoning and subdivision ordinances and official maps are consistent with the intent and specific direction provided within the land -use ply Rationale: Sound land -use plans and accompanying official controls are essential tools that enable the community to attract those specific uses intended for the land and ensure the quality community and life citizens of Lino Lakes value highly. Strategies: • Ensure developers meet the standards specified within the land -use plan and official controls, including zoning and subdivision ordinances and official maps. • Streamline the current permitting and development processes to facilitate the type of development and redevelopment desired. • Coordinate the plans for housing with plans for light industrial and commercial businesses to balance land uses, serve the quality of life needs of the residential areas, foster a positive business climate for light industrial and commercial business, and expand and balance the community's tax base. • Ensure compatibility of adjacent land uses. Goal 3: Ensure housing- development is compatible with existing and adjacent and uses and provides accessibility to key community features and natural amenities. Rationale: Accessibility to the most attractive features of Lino Lakes is important to the citizens of our community. Strategies: • Link trails to parks and lakes. • Establish guidelines for the appropriate inclusion of green spaces, paths, and other people oriented amenities throughout the city. 10 1 1 1 • Ensure commercial development and mixed -use areas are evenly and appropriately dispersed throughout the city. Goal 4: Maintain safe neighborhoods and community areas. Rationale: A sense of security is important to neighborhood quality and maintaining housing values. Strategies: • Maintain and ensure strong community support for the city's fire and police departments. • Encourage community involvement in National Night Out and Crime Watch. • Develop neighborhoods with mixed housing styles that promote diversity and attract all age groups. Goal 5 improve availability of affordable and life -cycle housing • Rationale: Lino Lakes, as a developing city, is expected to accommodate the projected housing needs, entry level through retirement, of the community's population. Strategies: • Work with developers to identify innovative strategies for providing entry -level and life cycle housing. • Use redevelopment tools to revitalize aging residential properties, made possible by various federal, state, local government, and non - profit programs. • Provide expanded opportunities for housing ownership made available by various federal, state, local government and non - profit agencies. • Streamline permitting and development processes to ease the rehabilitation or improvement of existing homes and reduce unwarranted cost impacts on the price of entry -level homes. • Provide for and designate appropriate areas for high- density and mixed -use development. s for senior housing Rationale: As Lino Lakes continues to grow and develop, it must also accommodate the housing needs of a growing aging population. 11 Strategies: • Complete a detailed citywide senior citizen housing needs study. • Develop partnerships with non - profit and private sector groups who assist in the creation of senior housing. • Coordinate development of housing with retail accessibility (restaurants, shops, groceries). G : Increase commercial/residential mixed -use development throughout the city of Lino Lakes Rationale: An increased city tax base, including desired and accessible commercial and retail development, is essential to decreasing the city's dependence on residential property tax to fund the services, amenities and infrastructure that citizens desire and expect. Strategies: • Ensure commercial and mixed -use development is dispersed evenly throughout the city. • Ensure the Comprehensive Plan and official controls allow for mixed -use development, including higher density residential and taller building heights in designated areas. • Improve the design standards for commercial developments so they are more attractive, user friendly, and integrated into the surrounding neighborhoods and adjacent areas. 12 Economic and Commercial Development Lino Lakes currently is, and is projected to remain for the foreseeable future, a predominantly residential community. However economic growth opportunities emerge from Lino Lakes' strategic access to Interstates 35W and 35E, the projected expansion of economic and employment activity northward from the Twin Cities metropolitan region, and the retail and service demands arising from growth of the city's household base. Given the emerging opportunities for economic and commercial growth that are projected for Lino Lakes over the next 25 years and the limited availability of land that can accommodate these opportunities to the community's benefit, the Comprehensive Plan must identify the need for and means to achieve the amount and type of economic and commercial growth desired and needed to ensure the quality of life, economic vitality, and tax base diversity required to sustain Lino Lakes to 2030 and beyond. 2030 Vision Lino Lakes has a multi- faceted productive business and commercial community that contributes to the city's economic vitality, provides a stronger and more diverse tax base, and affords high quality employment, retail, and service opportunities for the entire community. It also provides those specific commercial service amenities desired by citizens within their neighborhoods. Lino Lakes has become an attractive destination for high technology and high value light industrial and business enterprises as well as smaller entrepreneurial businesses. The business community is an integrated component of the Lino Lakes overall development plan to achieve a well- designed community and preserve, protect and showcase the city's valuable natural resources and amenities. Goal 1: Expand and diversify; the city's tax base by encouraging mixed use and nodal development. Rationale: The City of Lino Lakes needs to promote mixed -use and nodal development that integrates commercial developments with surrounding areas and neighborhoods and enhances better connectivity among all parts of the city. Strategies: • Encourage developers to take advantage of opportunities provided by mixed -use and nodal development design standards especially within designated redevelopment areas. • Establish guidelines for the appropriate inclusion of green spaces, paths and other people - oriented amenities within commercial areas and throughout the city. • Ensure commercial development is dispersed appropriately throughout the community and in designated business development areas. • Develop walkable neighborhoods with commercial nodes and amenities for residents. 13 • Integrate into neighborhoods those retail and service commercial activities required /desired by the neighborhood. Goal 2: Work with developers to identify innovative strategies for attracting en level and smaller entrepreneurial businesses to Lino Lakes Rationale: The City of Lino Lakes requires a wide variety of business options to meet the diverse needs of residents. Strategies: • Encourage new business owners and expanding entrepreneurial businesses to locate here by offering appropriate incentives. • Create aesthetic design standards and provide unique business amenities not available in other parts of the North Metro area. • Work with the current business community, the Chamber of Commerce and the city's Economic Development Advisory Committee to attract new businesses and expand the economic success of existing businesses. • Promote Lino Lakes' identity as a business friendly city. Goal 3: Attract :and encourage light industrial, high tech, business and professional services enterprises to Lino Lakes. Rationale: Lino Lakes' industrial and commercial development will be concentrated primarily along its existing business corridors. This provides opportunities for a diversified economic base, expanded employment opportunities and maintaining conformity with the existing commercial and light industrial land use patterns. Strategies: • Protect designated industrial areas from residential encroachment and marginal land uses that will preclude the highest economic use of land available for commercial and light industrial development. • Develop strategies and programs to attract high tech and high value industrial and business and professional services enterprises. • Encourage high -end business park development designed to attract medical, technology, and similar industries, which provide quality employment opportunities and have low service demand for municipal services. • Develop a comprehensive business center with wi -fi access, office space, copy services, postal and overnight delivery pick up, and telephone services to small and start-up entrepreneurial business owners and telecommuters who are able to share space and costs. 14 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Goal 4: Promote and encourage development of a large destination commercial and entertainment center. Rationale: The development of this center will provide necessary jobs and desired amenities that are convenient and accessible to residents. Strategies: • Encourage the development of a major regional commercial center which would include various types of restaurants, shopping, and entertainment venues for both adults and children. • Capitalize on the growth of the neighboring communities by providing supporting retail establishments. • Plan for traffic and transportation linkage /access to the regional commercial center area (from a major arterial or interchange along 35E.) • Improve the design standards of commercial developments so they are more attractive, user friendly and integrated into the surrounding neighborhoods and adjacent areas. 15 Roads and Transportation Roads, transportation and related infrastructure are vital ingredients to a community's quality of land use and the life that one experiences when traveling within and through the community. Traffic issues and congestion are major concerns expressed by citizens in the Quality of Life Survey. Citizens participating in the Quality of Life Survey and community forums also expressed concern with the condition of city streets and the current City Charter provisions. These provisions are seen as inhibiting the council's ability to develop and implement street improvement and reconstruction plans and policies for the responsible stewardship of a vital community infrastructure asset: streets. 2030 Vision Lino Lakes has a well - planned and maintained system of connecting and collector streets augmented by convenient public transportation options. Goal 1: Plan for and achieve required street throughout the City of Lino Lakes. p1 ovements and connectivil Rationale: Citizens identified the lack of road connectivity as a major concern and they expect this issue to be resolved through good community and infrastructure planning. Strategies: • Include within the Comprehensive Plan a 20 -year transportation component (Roads and Transportation Master Plan) that will identify and plan for needed public transportation options and street construction, upgrading, and related funding requirements. • Ensure by 2030 that main east/west corridors (examples: Main Street, new 35E/35W, Birch and Ash Streets) are of good quality and allow for potential, required expansion and upgrades, i.e., widening, expanded capacity and turn lanes. • Identify and prepare appropriate plans, official controls, zoning and subdivisions ordinances and regulations, and official maps for land use around identified potential future interchanges. (An example might be exit ramps from 35E at Birch Street if warranted). • Plan for, within the transportation component of the Comprehensive Plan, improved and required north -south connectivity. Goal 2: Ensure that streets and roads are as safe as possible! Rationale: Increased traffic on our roads increases the risk and likelihood of accidents. 16 Strategies: • Identify potential traffic safety problem areas and adopt plans to lessen risks as traffic volume increases along these problem stretches and intersections. Goal 3: Irprove traffic ifl ow despite increase in traffic numbers: Rationale: The safety and convenience of using our streets and roads should not decrease as traffic volume increases. Strategies: • Plan, within the 20 year traffic component of the Comprehensive Plan, for an expanded and improved road system to accommodate projected increases in traffic volume accompanying predicted /planned growth and development. • Encourage high- density housing along our traffic corridors; e.g., County Road J, East end of Birch and Main Street. Add needed stop lights and turn lanes. Increase connecting and collecting roads — plan ahead for them. • Ensure, as areas are developed, that development bears the cost of this reconstruction to the fullest extent possible. Goal, 4: Ensure that loc level . reefs are maintained (or reconstructed to) an acceptable Rationale: Properly maintained streets maintain the quality of life of the citizens. If a street is allowed to deteriorate to a "poor" condition, the street must be reconstructed. Current City Charter provisions frustrate the city's ability to be responsible stewards of its streets. Strategies: • Adopt, fund and steadfastly implement a Comprehensive Pavement Management Plan for the maintenance and reconstruction, to an optimum level, of the city's streets in a responsible and cost - effective manner • Recognize that proper maintenance is less expensive in the long run than reconstruction after a street has been allowed to degrade. Once a street has been allowed to degrade to "poor ", maintenance is no longer effective, and the city's ability to reconstruct the street is severely limited. • Change the City Charter, as favored by 60% of the respondents in the Quality of Life Survey, so city council can plan for and fund (budget) street construction and maintenance in a responsible manner. This effort should be initiated by a citizen's group or task force that identifies options and advocates that the city council, the charter commission, and the community support a charter change proposal on the ballot. 17 • Recognize the likelihood that some city dollars will need to be spent on street reconstruction as citizens living on the affected streets may /can not bear the full cost of reconstruction. Goal 5: Reduce unnecessary traffic on Lino Lakes streets and roads Rationale: Reducing traffic volume reduces the maintenance cost and increases the safety of our streets and roads. Alternative transportation options need to be developed. Strategies: • Develop mass transit options. The 95th Avenue lot in Blaine satisfies some of the current demand as a connection to 35W but there are no plans for 35E. • Plan for and develop park and ride opportunities that are adjacent to our east/west connectors. • Recognize, as affordable and life -cycle housing develops, the need for mass transit will increase and should be planned for on our east/west connectors. • Find ways to minimize unnecessary heavy vehicle traffic such as garbage haulers. • Appreciate mass transit is not likely to be self funding, but the city can seek to influence mass transit funding sources. Goal 6: Plan for better access to local open spaces and lakes. Rationale: More access to our open spaces will showcase our unique environment of wetlands and lead to better appreciation and understanding of their beauty. Current and future residents want access to regional parks. More and better trails will help offset feeling overcrowded as we progress to higher density housing and a larger overall population in our city. Strategies: • Recognize the need and plan for: o off - street parking o trail connections and loops o access for bikers, walkers and runners o better access to lakes o improved canoe access points o canoe launch sites to be developed wherever feasible. (Example: south end of Rice Lake) 18 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 • Require developers to link to existing trails and extend them. City should develop more and better lake access; there may be state or county programs or department grants to help offset these costs. Note: A Power Point presentation containing specific suggested road and related infrastructure improvements has been forwarded to the consultants assisting the city in the creation of the Comprehensive Plan. 19 Community Amenities and Natural Resources Lino Lakes is blessed with many natural resources and amenities that give the community a special character and identity that is appreciated and valued by its citizens. Nearly 46% of the city's geographic area consists of lakes, protected wetlands and protected uplands. Citizens want the city to ensure future growth is well planned, sensitive to maintaining Lino Lakes' natural resources and amenities, and preserves the quality of the community and life they enjoy. 1. Parks, Trails, Open Space and Recreation 2030 Vision The city has provided Lino Lakes residents with a comprehensive array of well - maintained parks, interconnected trails, natural open spaces and greenways, and recreational opportunities for their enjoyment and recreation. It also has preserved and enhanced the community's natural environment and special character. Goal 1: Continue development and maintenance of recreational activities that serve the identified needs of the community and people of all ages, including, where possible, neighborhood parks, larger multi -use area parks and the regiona park. Rationale: The city's parks and recreational facilities are important community assets enjoyed by residents. The demand for and use of these assets will grow as the city's population expands over the next 25 years. Strategies: • Continue to pursue the development of a multi sports complex either on the city -owned property at Birch and Centerville Roads or another suitable site. • Foster and maintain cooperation between the city and school districts to facilitate joint use of indoor and outdoor facilities for organized and recreational activities. • Utilize the Rice Creek Regional Park as an aesthetic and recreational community amenity, but with increased sensitivity to the preservation of biosystems and ecosystems within the park. • Acquire, reserve and develop sufficient park and open space land to fulfill the identified and projected needs of the present and future population. • Continue collaboration with the YMCA and similar organizations to provide recreational facilities for the entire community. • Continue, whenever possible, inclusion of neighborhood parks in future developments and planned redevelopments. 20 Goal 2: Collaborate with Anoka County to guarantee and improve public access of Rice Creek Regional Park waterways for recreational use and enjoyment of the community, Rationale: Rice Creek Regional Park is a unique and extensive community asset. Citizens want this asset preserved and they desire more access points into the park. Strategies: • Identify, develop and maintain new access points to area lakes so that residents can enjoy these unique recreational opportunities. • Ensure the new access points are designed to minimize adverse impacts on lakeshore quality, water quality and adjacent environmental features: i.e. uplands, etc. Goal 3: Develop, maintain, and connect the current and proposed trails in the City of Lino Lakes and Rice Creek Regional Park in a manner that preserves and sustains the natural environment, Rationale: Connectivity among trail systems and between the trail system and Rice Creek Regional Park is desired by the city's residents. Strategies: • Continue coalition among 5 cities and Anoka County to achieve interconnectivity among trails. • As development occurs, require an interconnected trail system. • Provide on -site maps that inform users of the entire system of trails and trail connections. 2. Natural Resources and Amenities 2030 Vision The unique and extensive natural resources and amenities which are highly - valued and enjoyed by the community including wildlife, wildlife habitats, and other ecologically significant assets have been restored to the fullest extent possible and preserved. This has been accomplished in part through the on -going partnership between Lino Lakes and the Rice Creek Watershed District which provides a conservation -based framework for the city's upland and aquatic resource management. 21 Goal 1: Ident1 ecological and r, protect and preserve the desirable natural areas and aquatic resources of the community. Rationale: The preservation of Lino Lakes' natural resources and amenities is high priority to the community's citizens. Strategies: • Pursue a well- defined natural resource restoration and management plan for Lino Lakes. • Continue to staff an environmentalist and maintain a city environmental board. • Maintain the partnership of Lino Lakes and Rice Creek Watershed District and other groups such as Anoka County to maintain the aquatic and upland areas of the city. • Establish and fund programs to maintain or improve current green spaces owned by the city. • Where possible, restore damaged or misused natural and ecologically significant areas to their original state. • Require natural space buffers, where appropriate, around wetlands. Goal 2: Initiate and continue vigorous collaborations and programs to address, restore, and preserve the water quality of the region's lakes, wetlands' and other aquatic assets. Rationale: The region's lakes, wetlands, and protected uplands occupy nearly 46% of the city's total area and provide Lino Lakes with a character and ambience unequalled within the region. The deterioration of these vital assets would diminish the city aesthetically and emotionally. As the city inevitably grows and progresses to 2030, the preservation of these aquatic and upland assets is vitally important to maintaining a distinctive feature of the city its citizens cherish. Strategy: Within the resource management plan (RMP) created by the conservation -based partnership between Lino Lakes and the Rice Creek Watershed District, include a component that incorporates TMDL (total maximum daily load) constraints to halt the degradation and achieve restoration of the ecological health of the city's and region's lakes, waterways and other aquatic resources. 22 3. Land Use Policies and Practices The quality of the community's natural resources and amenities, occupying nearly half of the city's area, is affected directly by the uses on the remaining developable land. The quality of the community's natural resources and amenities can not be restored and preserved without appropriate and enforced land use policies and practices that recognize, and minimize, adverse impacts that possible land use and growth can have on these vitally important community assets. Therefore, it is imperative to balance conservation of natural resources with sound growth management and land use policies, practices and official plans and controls. Lino Lakes already is a recognized metro leader in this approach and demonstrates it has the capacity to be a very special community. It must continue to assert this leadership prerogative. 2030 Vision Lino Lakes has enhanced and preserved the quality of its natural resources and amenities and achieved a well - planned community through anticipating, planning for, and balancing the needs for natural resource protection with the need to accommodate growth. Goal: Ens' to accommodate conserves and ed, quality residential and commercial develcpmen s projected growth needs occurs in a manner that also ces the ctty's natural resources and amenities. Rationale: The types of uses that occur on the city's available and developable land are vital factors affecting the ability to restore, preserve and enhance these resources and amenities. Strategies: • Keep traditional rules /zoning designation in place where appropriate and beneficial to the city. • Encourage developers, where appropriate, to use Open Space Design/ Conservation Development Track practices. (i.e. Fox Borough) • Extend this approach to business and commercial development as well. • Ensure the development of the land within the community is done in a way that consciously preserves its natural resources and amenities. • Continue application of the MRAM (Minnesota Routine Assessment Methodology) program to ensure valuable wetlands are preserved. • Promote business and commercial development that is conservationally conscious, esthetically interesting, and recognizes that each individual land use activity contributes to the total effect on the community's natural resources. • Recognize there are unique lands that the city /residents may not want to be developed: 23 o Promote techniques that encourage developers to preserve the unique lands within their development. o Partner with the Rice Creek Watershed District and /or other groups to purchase unique ecological properties if they become threatened. o Develop innovative practices, when appropriate, to acquire unique lands to prevent development. o Promote partnerships with established conservancy groups in order to "save" these unique lands. Examples: Nature Conservancy. • Promote the use of quality and environmentally sound buffer areas between areas with differing land uses. 4. Other Ecological Challenges and Threats Many regions and communities throughout the country are experiencing significant and potentially devastating ecological threats that do not originate within, but are imported into them. Examples of such threats are invasive plants and animal species; i.e., ash tree borers, buckthorn, pine beetles, predators, etc. It is necessary to anticipate these ecological challenges and threats and to develop proactive approaches to minimize their impact to the fullest extent possible. 2030 Vision Lino Lakes, in anticipation of potentially devastating ecological threats and challenges that are imported into the community, has initiated cooperative partnerships with the state and other local government entities and programs for dealing with these threats. Goal: Identify and work cooperatively with the state and other local government entities to develop approaches for addressing potential ecological challenges and threats that could adversely affect Lino Laki Rationale: Efforts to address ecological threats such as ash tree borers, buckthorn, etc. have to be done in cooperation with other entities and could require residents to take specific steps on their own property to deal with these threats. Strategies: • Identify and alert residents of potential ecological challenges and threats that can affect Lino Lakes and the property of residents. • Plan and initiate cooperative efforts with the state and other local government entities for programs that address and may manage these threats effectively. • Educate the community and its residents about the specific actions they can or may be asked to take in addressing these threats. 24 CONCLUSION Given the unique three -step process initiated by the city council, the SPOTLIGHT on 2030 Community Vision Plan will segue into the Comprehensive and Resource Management planning efforts to begin in 2007. Community and citizen involvement will continue throughout each step of the entire effort to create and adopt these plans. Finally, the Comprehensive Plan, including a Resource Management Plan component, will be adopted and the implementation efforts needed to make these plans become reality will begin. The city will have many partners regionally and locally — especially Lino Lakes' citizens —who will be major contributors to the successful implementation of these plans. A major responsibility for their successful implementation will rest with the city council and the leadership and stewardship it provides in guiding Lino Lakes to 2030. Good zoning and subdivision ordinances, official controls and practices, sound fiscal policies (operating and capital budgets) and constant vigilance will be required to ensure each decision and official action take by the city moves the vision and plans forward to fruition. Secondly, the vision and plans must be kept current through periodic reviews and updates (probably on a biannual basis) to ensure the vision, goals and plans reflect community desires. An objective assessment of emerging trends and realities affecting the community's progress to 2030 will be a part of this review. The future of Lino Lakes is filled with hopes and potential. Vibrant community dialogues should continue. The city council will need to make reasoned and responsible choices, and create realistic and attainable options to ensure the best and highest quality future for Lino Lakes. SPOTLIGHT on 2030 continues the process of defining, seeking and achieving what we want our community to become. 25 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 SPOTLIGHT on 2030 City of Lino Lakes Acknowledgements Page The following people participated in the SPOTLIGHT on 2030 effort starting in September, 2006, and concluding with the presentation of the citizens' SPOTLIGHT on 2030 Vision Plan to the City Council in February 2007. These community members, some of whom served in several capacities, and others such as the city staff and special contributors who assisted them, worked hard.

STRUCTURE OF THIS MEMO This memo contains the following sections: • Economic Snapshot of the Twin Cities • Regional Growth Characteristics Related to Commercial /Industrial Development • Issues and Opportunities for Commercial /Industrial Development on TCAAP • Commercial and Industrial Development Choices DRAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September, 2006 Page 2 REGIONAL GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS RELATED TO RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT Introduction Housing markets can vary greatly from one community to another within a large metropolitan region such as the Twin Cities. The forces that determine what type of housing gets built, how much housing gets built, and where that housing gets built can change dramatically from decade to decade or even year to year, often resulting vastly different development experiences for individual communities such as Lino Lakes. Nonetheless, metropolitan regions are, by definition, interconnected places, and any long -term projections of the housing market at a local level must first be viewed with an understanding of historical housing market trends at the metropolitan level. This section of the report examines regional demographic and construction trends associated with the Twin Cities housing market since 1960. In this section we address overall household growth trends, changes in the age distribution, and where housing construction has been concentrated and whether it has been predominantly single- family or multifamily. Metropolitan Population and Household Growth Trends The 16- county region that incorporates the Twin Cities has grown steadily from 1960 to 2000 and is projected to continue its steady rate of growth through 2030. The chart below indicates that in 1960 there were just over 500,000 households in the 16- county region. By 2030 it is projected the region will contain over 1.7 million households. 4,500,000 - - 4,000,000 - 3,500,000 - 3,000,000 - 2,500,000 - 2,000,000 - 1,500,000 - 1,000,000 - 500,000 - 0 Population and Households Growth Trends 16- County Twin Cities Region 1960 -2030 • Population • Households L i 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 Sources: US Census of Population: 1960 -2000; M N Dept. of Admin.: State Demographic Center; WI Dept. of Admin.: Demographic Services Center.

During the 1970s and 1980s, the Baby Boom generation swelled the proportion of the population ages 18 to 34, placing exceptional pressure region -wide on the demand for multifamily rental housing. During the 1990s and 2000s, the impact of the Baby Boom generation is being felt on the demand for single - family housing as they swell the ranks of those ages 35 to 54. In the coming decades, the Baby Boom generation will likely place tremendous pressure on a variety of multifamily products as they dramatically increase the proportion of the population age 65 and older.

The chart below helps illustrate the volume of people during the 1980s and 1990s that entered the age groups in which single- family homeownership is most common. Conversely, the chart also displays the projected increase in the number of persons age 65 and older starting in 2010, which is when many households begin to switch to multifamily forms of housing.

The following chart helps visualize in recent decades the mismatch between the growth in the number of households and the growth in the number of housing units. During the 1970s and especially during the 1980s, the net gain in the number of housing units far exceeded the net gain in the number of new households. This had a profound impact on the housing market during the 1990s in which the rate of new home construction was sharply curtailed in response to a glut in the oversupply of housing units. By the end of the 1990s, however, household growth exceeded expectations and pent -up demand for housing sharply increased setting the stage for tremendous amounts of new construction in the early 2000s.

For example, sharp increases in the demand for housing among younger households ages 18 to 34 may likely mean increased pressure to develop land where housing costs are the least expensive (i.e., exurban or rural areas) or can achieve significant economies of scale (i.e., multifamily developments on in -fill sites). The chart below depicts where in the metropolitan region new units have been added according to three distinct zones: fully developed communities; communities at the edge of contiguous development; and rural or exurban communities that are significantly beyond the edge of contiguous development. Since 1960, the zone at the contiguous edge of development has captured the most number of new housing units. However, during the 1970s, the number of new units built in the fully developed zone and the rural /exurban zone increased dramatically as the overall number of new units added increased sharply as well. Initial data for the 2000s suggest that by the end of the decade units built in the rural /exurban zone may overtake the developing edge as adding the most number of new units.

In the 1990s, there was a sharp departure from the pattern of the previous three decades in which the vast majority of homes built were detached single - family homes. This likely is the result of a period in the early part of the decade when land prices were depressed because of an oversupply of homes, thus making detached product more affordable, and because of the large number of persons in the age groups between 35 and 64, which are the prime years for owning a single - family home when families often have school -aged children at home. Data from the early part of the 2000s suggests a vastly different picture for the current decade in which the number of multifamily homes built may exceed the number of detached single - family homes built.

Lino Lakes begins to experience some traditional suburban style development as the developing edge expands to nearby Arden Hills, Shoreview, and Vadnais Heights. Lino Lakes begins period at the edge of contiguous development as adjacent communities to the south Hare nearly built out or have strong growth management policies (i.e. North Oaks). Lino Lakes experiences development commensurate with being located at the developing edge. Hugo and Forest Lake to the east and north also begin their periods of being at the developing edge. Pace of construction in Lino Lakes drops below that of 1990s even though construction throughout the metropolitan area far exceeds that of the 1990s. Important Developments /Milestones 16 -County metro area surpasses 2 million people. Interstate freeway system is introduced. Interstate freeway system is mostly developed making once rural /exurban areas more accessible. Mortgage interest rates hit record highs in the early part of the decade. I16- county metro area surpasses 3 (million people. In the core 7 -county 'region, 67,500 are consumed for 125,000 units, which is 1.85 units per acre. This compares to the 1980s when the ratio was 3.3 units per acre or the 1970s when it was 3.7 units per acre. Mortgage interest rates hit record lows in the early part of the decade. Where Development Occurred Vast majority of homes built at the developing edge, which is adjacent to the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.', 'Sharp increase in number of units built in developed areas, but also sharp increase in units built in exurban areas to serve the needs of younger buyers who want single - family homes but can't afford to be close to the metro core. More homes built at the developing edge than previous decade. Sharp decline in the rural /exurban areas, likely the result of increased supply containing costs for closer -in unitsand a fuel crises in the early part of the decade. Homebuilding rebounds in the rural /exurban areas of the region. Tremendous growth in rural /exurban areas, but also a strong rebound in the developed core as rising land prices and demogrpahics create a market for "urban" style living. Impact of Age Distribution Strong growth in the number of school - aged children increases demand for affordable single - family homes among young families. Strong growth in college -age persons increases demand for rental housing. Strong growth in number of younger adults results in strong demand for rental housing and very affordable single - family homes. Very strong growth in the age groups skewed toward single - family homes. Significant growth beginning to occur among age groups in the highest income years. Absolute decline in the age groups skewed to renting; age groups skewed toward single - family housing account for all the population growth. Strong growth spread among most age groups; young age groups rebound (Baby Boomlet) and seniors grow substantially as well. Age groups in the peak eaming years (45 to 64 • row as well. Level of Pent -Up Demand Slight pent -up demand by end of decade. Slight oversupply of housing by end of decade. Significant oversupply of housing units by end of decade. Oversupply of 1980s leads to less construction in the 1990s, which results in huge pent -up demand by end of decade, especially since the number of in- migrants to the region far exceeds projections. Pent -up demand at end of 90s leads to rush among builders to build more units, which results in current oversupply. t�0 C.� m , n ro 0) 0) N m CO 0 1) C • N C = CO 2 0 t0 f0 M co 0 0) of 0i 00 00 co ao 0) (0 0) ri v- a V CU Q 0 O o 0) N O 1` 0) 0 O co 0) N O 0) 0) 2000- 2005 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 DRAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September 2006 Page 9 HOUSING CONDITIONS IN NEARBY COAIRIUNITIES Age of Housing Stock In 2000 Lino Lakes had the youngest housing stock compared to its developing neighbors, with nearly 50% of its homes being built in the previous decade and nearly 90% of it having been built since 1970. Forest Lake, being a small freestanding community prior to suburbanization, has the largest proportion of housing stock more than 30 years old at roughly 31 %. Blaine began suburban - style development in the 1960s and has had consistent growth each decade since. Therefore, much of its housing stock is spread somewhat evenly over several decades.

As of 2000, more than 96% of Lino Lakes' households were in owner - occupied units. Forest Lake was the only community with fewer than 90% of its households in owner - occupied units. This is largely because Forest Lake developed initially as a freestanding community that regularly constructed rental housing to meet the needs of a small but growing employment base.

The historical development pattern of Blaine and Forest Lake, however, has created a slightly more varied housing stock with respect to the type of units in those communities. In Blaine, nearly 15% of its housing stock are mobile homes, which were developed predominantly in the 1960s and 1970s when Blaine was beyond the developing edge of the metro area. Forest Lake, in contrast, initially developed as a freestanding community that has regularly built apartment buildings to meet the needs of a growing employment base.

In the four years between 2001 and 2004, roughly half of the new units constructed in Blaine, Hugo, and Forest Lake were either townhomes or multifamily units. This is a huge departure from the previous three decades when roughly 90% of the units built were single - family homes. Much of this change can be attributed to demographic shifts, in which older households are downsizing from single - family homes to maintenance free, attached dwellings and younger households who normally have rented their housing have been able to afford modest forms of owner - occupied housing, such as back -to -back townhomes, because mortgage interest rates have been at historically low levels. Furthermore, land costs driven by rapid development and increased commute times have converged at the developing edge of the metro area to make townhomes the affordable entry -level product when 20 years ago it might have been a detached single - family home.

Over the next 25 years, most of the growth in this area will likely occur in neighboring Blaine, Hugo, and Forest Lake, as these communities contain significant tracts of undeveloped land that will conceivably be developed and marketed to the largest DRAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September 2006 Page 12 and most active segments of the market. Depending on appropriate densities and accessibility of individual developments to goods and services, Lino Lakes certainly has the potential to absorb a portion of this growth. As of 2006, the Metropolitan Council forecasts that Lino Lakes will grow by approximately 2,200 households between 2000 and 2010, by 1,500 households between 2010 and 2020, and by another 1,500 households between 2020 and 2030. These figures appear to be influenced by construction limits more than market demand. Given the regional housing trends presented in the previous section, the growth forecasts by the Metropolitan Council appear somewhat low, because pressure to develop at the contiguous edge of the metro area will increase in the near future as housing demand will be heavily influenced by the needs of older adults. Thus, some of the development that would have been expected to leap -frog past Lino Lakes and neighboring communities into southern Isanti and Chisago Counties over the next 25 years is likely to be captured at the contiguous edge, provided land is made available for development at densities that are financially feasible to most private developers. Furthermore, Lino Lakes clearly has enough land to accommodate a faster rate of household growth. For example, if Lino Lakes continued to develop housing units at its current rate (150 units per year) and density (1.7 units per acre), it would take about 57 years to exhaust the roughly 5,000 acres of undeveloped land available for development. After 57 years, the metro area is expected to at least double its number of households. This would push the contiguous edge of the metro area far beyond the corporate limits of Lino Lakes. Because the price of land often increases as surrounding communities become fully built -out, pressure to develop at higher densities will likely increase in Lino Lakes. To some extent this has already begun to occur in Lino Lakes with the introduction of for -sale multifamily product targeted to younger, entry-level buyers and, more importantly, older buyers looking to downsize their housing and reduce maintenance. Therefore, if market forces are placing pressure on Lino Lakes to develop at a rate and density higher than what has been historically experienced, how much future residential development can Lino Lakes absorb? Over the last several decades, consider the proportion of household growth in the 16- county metro area that has occurred in the northeast quadrant, and then consider the proportion of the northeast metro's growth that has occurred in Lino Lakes. The following table helps illustrate this relationship. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 DRAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September 2006 Page 13 Net Increase in Number of Households I 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s Estimate 2000 -2005 Lino Lakes 274 576 1,215 2,254 872 Northeast Metro 28,668 38,219 38,062 31,789 20,906 16- County Metro Area 133,366 179,890 178,688 183,969 108,380 Lino Lakes as a Pct. of NE Metro 1.0% 1.5% 3.2% 7.1% 4.2% NE Metro as a Pct. of 16 -County Meta 21.5% 21.2% 21.3% 17.3% 19.3% Note: Northeast Metro consists of suburban Ramsey County, eastern Anoka County, northern Washington County, Isanti County, Chisago County, and Polk County in Wisconsin. Sources: U.S. Census; Metropolitan Council; Minnesota State Demographer; Wisconsin State Demographer The table indicates that the northeast metro consistently captured about 21% of the overall household growth from 1960 to 1990. Its proportion dropped to 17% during the 1990s, but then rebounded to 19% in the first part of the current decade. Meanwhile, Lino Lakes' proportion of northeast metro growth has increased each decade from 1960 to 2000, largely because of transportation improvements and outward growth of the contiguous edge of the metropolitan area. Although Lino Lakes may continue to place constraints on the amount of development, it is conceivable that it could capture upwards of 10% of the forecasted growth in the northeast metro given its supply of undeveloped land and pressure from market forces. Forecasted growth for the northeast metro is projected to be roughly 37,000 households in the 2000s, 25,000 households in the 2010s, and 27,000 households in the 2020s. At a capture rate of 10 %, Lino Lakes could expect household growth of 3,700 households in the 2000s, 2,500 households in the 2010s, and 2,700 households in the 2020s. However, we believe it is important to adjust these figures somewhat. First, development in Lino Lakes during the first five years of the decade has been slower than projected. Thus, we revise our projected figures downward to account for this and, therefore, forecast a household growth of between 2,200 and 2,600 households between 2000 and 2010 instead of 3,700 households. We also revise the figures for the 2010s. The forecasted household growth for the northeast metro is only 25,000 households or 13% of all metro area growth during this period. This is a significant and unexplained drop from previous decades, especially given that the projected proportion for the 2020s increases back up to 19 %. Therefore, keeping in line with known development trends, we increased the proportion of household growth that is projected to occur in the northeast metro during the 2010s from 13% to 17 %. This results in a projected growth of 31,200 households instead of 25,000 households. Thus, after applying a 10% capture rate for Lino Lakes, we forecast that Lino Lakes will increase by 3,000 to 3,500 households during the 2010s. DRAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September 2006 Page 14 In the 2020s, we anticipate Lino Lakes' capture rate of northeast metro development will decrease from 10% to 8 %. This is to reflect that the remaining land available will begin to be of an in -fill nature and require more time and cost on the part of developers. At an 8% capture rate, we forecast potential growth of 2,000 to 2,500 households between 2020 and 2030. Housing Demand Breakdown 2006 -2010 Housing demand is based on a high rate of homeownership in Lino Lakes (96% in 2000) with an allowance that there may be pent -up demand for rental housing, due to the fact that very little product currently exists in Lino Lakes. Forecast household growth is broken down, with 85% being allocated to for -sale housing, and the remaining 15% to rental housing through the end of this decade. Historically, most construction in Lino Lakes has been single - family housing, but recent construction trends and long -term demographic trends indicate a substantial portion of future development will be multifamily. According to recent trends within the housing industry and reports from cities, we believe an approximate 50/50 split between single - family and multifamily development is likely for the remainder of this decade. The following chart shows our forecast housing growth potential, broken down by ownership and rental tenure for the remainder of this decade. Forecasted Demand for Housing in Lino Lakes By Housing Type 2006 -2010 Housing Growth Potential (1,200 -1,400 Units) Ow ner Occupied Housing (1,000 - 1,150 Units Single- Family Housing (500 - 575 Units) J 2010 -2020 Multifamily Housing (500 - 575 Units) J Renter Occupied Housing (200 to 250 Units) j General Occupancy (150 - 175 Units) Age- Restricted (50- 75 Units) J 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 DRAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September 2006 Page 15 A higher proportion of housing demand (20 %) is projected to be for rental housing between 2010 and 2020 as a critical mass of the population in Lino Lakes becomes age 65 or older and begins to desire low maintenance housing. In addition, emerging employment centers along Interstates 35W and 35E as well the development of the TCAAP site in Arden Hills will increase the overall demand for rental housing in the northeast sector of the metro area. As developable becomes more scarce throughout the 2010s in Lino Lakes, pressure will mount for the remaining land to be developed at higher densities. Furthermore, demographic trends indicating strong growth among older age groups will add additional pressure to develop new homes as multifamily product that requires lower maintenance than single - family product. Forecasted Demand for Housing in Lino Lakes By Housing Type 2010 -2020 Ow ner Occupied Housing (2,400 - 2,800 Units) Single - Family Housing (850 - 1,000 Units)J 2020 -2030 Housing Grow th Potential (3,000 -3,500 Units) Multifamily Housing (1,550- 1,800 Units) Renter Occupied Housing (600 to 700 Units) J General Occupancy (420 - 490 Units) J Age- Restricted (180- 210 Units) The overall demand for housing in Lino Lakes is projected to decline slightly from the 2010s to the 2020s. Demand for rental housing, however, will increase its proportion the share since the age distribution of the population will continue to skew toward older age cohorts. This will be especially evident given that the leading edge of the Baby Boom will be aging into their late 70s and early 80s during the 2020s. The same forces that sharply increased the demand for owner- occupied multifamily housing in the 2010s will still be present in the 2020s as Lino Lakes will begin to transition into a fully developed community with development occurring on in -fill sites or as part of a redevelopment project. This suggests that upwards of 75% of all newly constructed owner - occupied housing will likely be multifamily housing. This was the experience in neighboring communities, such as Shoreview when during the 1990s at the end of its development arc, the community experienced several years in which nearly 90% of its newly constructed homes were multifamily units.

With numerous sites that have strategic access to Interstates 35W and 35E, the profile of Lino Lakes will increase among the commercial /industrial development community, though the timing and scope of development hinges on the regional economic picture at the time individual sites are built -out. Office and Industrial Space Absorption (Multi- Tenant Space) 1991 -2005 The chart below shows that the Twin Cities Metro Area has absorbed just over 56 million square feet of office and industrial space' during the past 14 years, an annual average of nearly 4.8 million square feet, or an annual growth rate of 5.2 %. 1 Multi- tenant industrial space descriptions per Colliers Towle Real Estate: office- warehouse - buildings with at least 25,000 square feet, 10 % -20% finished office space and 16 -20 foot clear ceiling heights; office- showroom - buildings of at least 25,000 square feet, near freeways with good visibility, 30 %+ finished office space and 12 -16 foot clear ceiling heights; bulk warehouse - buildings of 50,000 square feet or more, constructed after WWI, with no more than 10% finished office space and 20 -foot or greater clear ceiling heights. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 DRAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September 2006 Page 17 Square Footage Occupied Office and Industrial Space in the Twin Cities 1991 -2005 70,000,000 - 60,000,000 50,000,000 - 40,000,000 - 30,000,000 - 20,000,000 - 10,000,000 - 0 Abso rption '91 =05 Total Annual Office/Ware 39,407,275 2,814,805 Office 15,895,353 1,135,382 Bulk 7,795,656 556,833 Office /Show 4.051.184 289.370 67,149,468 4,796,391 Office Space 56,073,802 Office/Warehouse Office /Showroom Bulk Warehouse 49,678,361 15,637,141 13,760,787 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Office - warehouse space, which has been historically indicative of the manufacturing sector, grew by 40 million occupied square feet between 1991 and 2005 (13.0% annually), followed by office space, which grew by 16 million occupied square feet (2.4% annually). The overall strong growth in office - warehouse space with its intermittent peaks and valleys is more reflective of a changing office market than growth in the manufacturing sector. As the most accessible sites become cost prohibitive for many businesses with office workers, office - warehouse properties in traditionally industrial locations have become increasingly popular. Overall, the strong historical expansion in occupied multi- tenant office and industrial space in the Twin Cities suggests that Lino Lakes can likely absorb a variety of space types, assuming that the economy continues to expand. The mix of building types on the site will depend on the particular parts of the economy that are expanding at the time individual sites are being developed (e.g. if growth in the healthcare sector is strong, medical office demand will be strong). Employment Growth by Sector 2002 -2012 The chart below presents predictions from the Minnesota Department of Economic Development (DEED) about the growth of the Twin Cities economy by industrial sector. The chart shows very strong expansion in several services sectors (61% of new jobs over 10 years in education /health, professional /business services, and hospitality), followed by retail trade (9% of new jobs), transportation /communications /utilities (8 %), and finance /insurance /real estate (6 %). Although significant commercial /industrial development in Lino Lakes will not occur until after 2012 since closer in sites like TCAAP in Arden Hills will capture most growth in the short -term, the projections highlight that commercial development in the Twin Cities region in the coming decades will likely focus on several service sectors because they will be the major drivers of employment growth. 17RAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September 2006 Page 18 Wholesale Trade 8,204 3% er Svcs 12,589 5% Const. 13,460 5% Fin. /hsur. /RE 14,587 Trans. /Conn. /Util. 19,403 8% Retail Trade 22,626 9% Hospitality 27,541 11% Manufacturing 1,134 0% Projected Employment Growth by Sector 7- County Twin Cities Region 2002 -2012 Education /Health 70,255 26% Prof. /Bus.

The chart below shows that the amount of space absorbed has been relatively flat for each property type with the exception office space, which has seen a nearly 50% increase in the amount occupied space. Compared to the remainder of the metro area, however, the amount of office space in the northern metro is minimal. Therefore, even modest increases in the amount of office space appear as large percentage increases. Another important point that the chart displays is how much office /warehouse space dominates the market in the northern metro. Even if one were to add together office, office /showroom, and bulk warehouse space, it would not add up to office /warehouse space. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 DRAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September 2006 Page 19 9,000,000 8,000,000 7,000,000 6,000,000 - rn Y°o • 5,000,000 - LL • 4,000,000 - z o- (/) 3,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 1,000,000 - 0 Occupied Office & Industrial Space Anoka County and the Northeast Metro 1998 -2005 Office/Warehouse Office Space Bulk Warehouse Office /Showroom 7,629,840 3,156,593 2,399,438 1,753,358 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Source: Colliers Turley M artin Tucker M arket Report Projected Employment Growth The following chart shows projected employment for Lino Lakes and its rapidly developing neighbors of Blaine, Hugo, and Forest Lake through 2030. The data comes from the Met Council and shows employment in the four cities collectively growing from about 27,000 jobs in 2000 to 40,400 jobs by 2030 with majority of the growth occurring in Blaine and Forest Lake. These four communities currently account for roughly 1.7% of all jobs in the 7- County Twin Cities Metro Area. Their share of projected job growth over the next 30 years is expected to be 2.3% of all jobs. DRAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September 2006 Page 20 Total Jobs 25,000 - 20,000 15,000 13,000 5,000 0 Job Growth Lino Lakes and Neighbors 2000 -2030 Source: M et Council A A Blaine Forest Lake Lino Lakes A Hugo 2000 2013 2020 2030 PROJECTED DEMAND FOR COMMERCIAL/ INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT Between 1995 and 2005, which encompasses a period of both rapid employment growth and nominal employment growth, the annual average increase in the number of jobs was approximately 17,300 in the 7- County Twin Cities metro area, according to the Minnesota Department of Economic Development. It is difficult to directly translate job growth to the construction of new office and industrial properties since many jobs are accommodated within existing space. Nonetheless, between 2002 and 2004, the Metropolitan Council tracked the activity of non- residential construction in the 7- County Metro Area and discovered that during the three -year period, the average amount of new office and industrial space that was built per year was 4.4 million square feet. Thus, for every new job added to the local economy, roughly 250 square feet of new office and industrial space was added to meet the increased number of workers. Using the ratio of one new job equals 250 new square feet of office and industrial space, a basis for estimating the amount of square footage demanded in Lino Lakes through 2030 can be estimated according to projected job growth. Previously, a chart presented the projected growth in the number of jobs in Lino Lakes and its growing neighbors through 2030. According to the Met Council, Lino Lakes is projected to remain mostly a bedroom community with only nominal job growth of 500 jobs in the 2000s, 350 jobs in the 2010s, and 250 jobs in the 2030s. Although redeveloping districts to the south of Lino Lakes on the TCAAP site in Arden Hills and the Twin Lakes development in Roseville will undoubtedly siphon a considerable amount of commercial and industrial growth in the coming years, recent experience of Blaine and White Bear Lake /White Bear Township suggest that Lino Lakes could be poised for considerable more employment growth. During the 1990s, much of the available for office and industrial development had been largely exhausted in the inner ring of suburbs to the south of Lino Lakes. As a result commercial 1 1 DRAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September 2006 Page 21 development had begun to move northward along the major transportation routes of the northern suburbs (Interstates 35W and 35E). Blaine and White Bear Lake /White Bear Township were the respective recipients of the growth of commercial development along these corridors. During the 1990s, Blaine captured 18% of the job growth in Anoka County, while White Bear Lake /White Bear Township captured nearly 16% of the job growth in the suburban portion of Ramsey County. As the next community north of the developing edge of both Interstates 35W and 35E, it is likely Lino Lakes will eventually captured a significant portion of the projected growth for the northern metro of the Twin Cities in the coming years. During the remainder of the 2000s, it is forecasted that Lino Lakes could capture 2.5% of the projected job growth of Anoka and Suburban Ramsey Counties. This translates to 1,250 jobs. During the 2010s, the proportion of the forecasted growth capturable by Lino Lakes will increase to 7% or 2,200 jobs. During the 2020s, the proportion will increase yet again to 12% or 3,000 jobs. Returning back to the ratio of 1 new job represents 250 square feet of additional office and industrial space, this then factors the following rough estimates for the amount of square feet by decade for Lino Lakes: 2000 -2010: 1,200 new jobs and 300,000 square feet of office and industrial space 2010 -2020: 2,200 new jobs and 550,000 square feet of space 2020 -2030: 3,000 new jobs and 750,000 square feet of space PROJECTED RETAIL DEMAND Based on non - residential building permit from 2002 to 2004 compiled by the Metropolitan Council, the 7- County Twin Cities Metro Area has absorbed approximately 11.1 million square feet of retail space. This translates to an annual average of about 3.7 million square feet. Demand for retail space is strongly correlated with household growth, which drive consumer spending. Therefore, much of the forecasted demand for retail in Lino Lakes will be related to overall household growth. Although certain forms of retail, such as regional shopping centers, can draw customers from a very large trade area, the majority of retail space is geared toward neighborhood residents who make frequent trips to regular stores within a convenient distance of their residence. Based on estimated household growth from 2002 to 2004, which averaged 15,200 new households per year, the amount of new retail needed for every new household is approximately 250 square feet. Thus, as Lino Lakes' household base grows so will its need for additional retail space. Not every new household added in Lino Lakes will directly translate to 250 new square feet of retail space. Some new residents will travel outside of Lino Lakes to nearby retail destinations for their needs. In addition, it is projected that much of the future household growth in Lino Lakes will be dominated by older households seeking to downsize their living space. Such households often consume far less than younger households because they no longer have children and already have many household items in place from previous homes. Taking these limiting factors into consideration, it is more DRAFT Market Analysis Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update September 2006 Page 22 realistic to think that 150 square feet of retail space per household is a more appropriate barometer than 250 square feet of space. Therefore, at 150 feet of retail space demanded for every new household projected to be added in Lino Lakes over the next 25 years, the following is anticipated: 2006 -2010: 180,000 to 210,000 square feet of additional retail 2010 -2020: 450,000 to 525,000 square feet of additional retail 2020 -2030: 300,000 to 375,000 square feet of additional retail Total 2006-2030: 930,000 to 1,110,000 square feet of retail APPENDIX B el oui110 1! 0 o • < ro DJ • O as CD 0 N V N CU rD UZI ro 3 0 01 vs to W .7 v n 2 3 C° v m oa ro R.; �. -o Gl O N n 2.0 0J N ro 3 a N d N 0 -0 0) 111 A 00 m a d o 17 O = ,.' t� 01 ^0 o? c` 1n 3 d us O n 3 a 0' a 01 A sawoAnp pansaa 4 t t 900Z aaquianoN LOOZ 4PaeIN 8002 Awnuer ♦ • N O O CO APPENDIX C i� Percentage I APPENDIX C City of Lino Lakes 2005 Quality of Life Study Decision Resources, Ltd.

DSU, Inc. was previously retained by the City to facilitate this process. The process is proposed to commence in March and result in the completion of a draft plan by May of 2008. Following a required 6 month adjacent jurisdiction review period the plan would be submitted for Metropolitan Council review in November of 2008. The entire process is broken down into 6 phases as follows: Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Phase 5 Phase 6 Information Gathering and Project Initiation Goals & Policies Alternatives Analysis Draft Plan Preparation Agency and Adjacent Jurisdiction Review Metropolitan Council Review and City Adoption of Final Plan Public open houses are proposed during Phase 3 and 4. The required public hearing on the draft plan will be held at the end of Phase 4. In addition to the public open houses information will be available on the City's web site. We are anticipating all work to be posted on the website as it is completed. Staff is also proposing to supplement this with newsletter articles and press releases. Approximately 1 year has been added to the process from what was originally anticipated. This is due in part to the timing of the completed visioning process and increasing public participation in the process. A core component of the public participation process is the establishment of a Comprehensive Plan Advisory Panel. Staff is proposing a 30 member advisory panel consisting of the following: • • • 1. Planning and Zoning Board (7) 2. 3 members from Environmental Board, EDAC, and Parks Board (9) 3. 9 representatives from the 2030 Visioning Committee 4. 5 residents to be selected by the City Council The advisory panel will be supplemented by our consultant team and the technical review committee consisting of City staff and representation from other governmental agencies as necessary. The Comprehensive Plan Update process is proposed to commence with a Kick- off meeting on March 7, 2007. This meeting will include the City Council, all advisory board members, and the advisory panel. Representatives from other governmental agencies will also be invited. The purpose of the meeting is to review the planning process, schedule, and an executive summary of existing conditions /background report. The Rice Creek Watershed District will also be presenting an overview of the Resource Management Plan component of the process. The first advisory panel meeting is proposed for March 21St RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 07 -26 ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution 07 -26 2.
