Staff noted that there are commercial uses surrounded by residential uses that need to be addressed. Staff has received complaints regarding outdoor storage and fumes from these locations. Staff discussed the history of uses for these sites. Staff requested direction from the board regarding the long term vision for this area Staff has considered having a consultant conduct a planning study for the area and draft some ordinance language that could allow for a transition of uses. Board comments included: Does the body shop run the auto sales lot adjacent to Tavern on Main? That body shop is out of line with the number of cars stored. • What is the benefit to doing a planning study if there are no uses that meet the desire of the owners and requirements for the area? • Interim uses should be considered that can accommodate similar uses to the adjacent uses that are legal non - conforming. • Support of a planning study to evaluate permissible uses if the cost is limited and the study is focused on this area alone. • The city needs to determine a way to improve the area for the neighbors' concern.

Drainage & Utility Easement Vacation (Council Action) 2. Variance APPLICANT: OWNER: Wayne A. Kelly 2235 Arthur Court Lino Lakes, MN 55038 Same DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION SCHEDULE: Complete Application Date: July 15, 2013 60 -Day Review Deadline: September 13, 2013 Planning & Zoning Board Meeting: August 14, 2013 City Council Meeting: August 26th & September 9th, 2013 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The applicant has submitted a Land Use Application for a drainage & utility easement vacation and variance for the purpose of constructing a 36' x 60' (2,160 s.f.) detached accessory building. The residential property is located at 2235 Arthur Court. The vacation is for an existing drainage and utility easement and the variance is to allow for a second driveway access. HISTORY The 2.84 acre parcel is located at Lot 6, Block 2, Clearwater Creek which was platted in • 1995. The primary residential structure was constructed in 1996. In 1997, FEMA issued a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) which in effect removed the subject property from the floodplain as indicated on the 1982 Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM).

This easement exists over much of Lot 6, Block 2 (2235 Arthur Court). A Wetland Delineation Report was prepared by Earth Science Associates, Inc. in May 2013 and was approved by Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) as LGU of the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act via Notice of Decision Application #13 -049R on June 18, 2013. The Wetland Delineation Report identifies the actual boundaries of the wetland and indicates over 1 acre of useable upland exists on the subject property. A Sketch and Description Survey prepared by EG Rud & Sons on July 15, 2013 shows the new delineated wetland boundary, the proposed drainage and utility area to be vacated and the proposed location of the accessory building. A 10 foot drainage and utility easement will be maintained along Cedar Street. The public hearings on the vacation will be held by the City Council on August 26th and September 9th, 2013. VARIANCE Per City Ordinance Chapter 1007, Section 3, Subd. 5.C.8.f.4: "A single - family lot in a residential zoning district shall not have more than one driveway accessing a public street." A variance is needed to allow for a second driveway access onto Cedar Street. The accessory building cannot be accessed from Arthur Court due to the wetland between the principal and proposed accessory building. Criteria and Findings of Fact. No variance shall be granted unless it meets all the criteria in paragraphs a. through g. below. The City shall make findings regarding compliance with these criteria. a. The variance shall be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. The general purpose and intent of the ordinance is to establish performance standards intended to assure compatibility of uses, prevent blight and to enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the community. An addition driveway access onto Cedar Street for an accessory building does not pose a threat to the health or safety of the neighborhood. This section of Cedar Street is a local street and several industrial users along the north side of Cedar Street have multiple driveway accesses. Accessory buildings have less vehicle trips in comparison to single family homes or industrial users. b. The variance shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The parcel is guided for Low Density Sewered Residential development. This section of Cedar Street is a local street and several industrial users along the north side of Cedar Street have multiple driveway accesses. c. There shall be practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance. "Practical difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the ordinance. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner. The construction of a detached accessory building and driveway access are reasonable uses of the upland area of the property. The wetland delineation indicates over an acre of usable land that is not accessible from Arthur Court. The practical difficulty in complying with the ordinance would require wetland impacts and increased impervious surface to construct a driveway south to the existing driveway onto Arthur Court. d. The plight of the landowner shall be due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. The plight of the landowner is created by the existing wetland area and not the landowner himself e. The variance shall not alter the essential character of the locality. The variance shall not alter the essential character of the locality. Accessory buildings and driveways are common features of residential districts. The industrial properties to the north of Cedar Street have multiple access points. 4 • • f. A variance shall not be granted for any use that is not allowed under the ordinance for • property in the zoning district where the subject site is located. • • Accessory buildings and driveways are permitted as Accessory Uses in the R -1, Single Family Residential District. g. In accordance with MN Stat. 462.357, Subp. 6, variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in MN Stat. 216C.06, Subd. 14, when in harmony with the zoning ordinance. Not applicable. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the easement vacation and variance, subject to the following conditions: 1. All comments from the City Engineer's Letter dated August 5, 2013 shall be addressed. 2. The accessory building shall meet the general building and use provisions of Section 3, Subd. 4. 3. A building permit shall be submitted by the applicant and approved by the City prior to construction. 4. The driveway shall be paved with appropriate surface. 5. The survey submitted by E.G. Rud and Sons shall be revised to include: a. Existing impervious surface calculations. b. Proposed impervious surface calculations. c. Location and width of driveway. 6. The accessory building and driveway should be located to maximize tree preservation to the greatest extent possible. ATTACHMENTS 1. Site Location Map 2. Aerial Map 3.

Sketch and description for proposed drainage and utility vacation for 2235 Arthur Court, Lino Lakes, MN 55038 prepared by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc. dated July 15, 2013 Proposed Drainage & Utility Easement Vacation Comments: 1. Only the centerline of the proposed driveway is identified on the sketch. The width and location of the entire driveway needs to be added to the sketch to allow for a more complete review of the impact the driveway will have on the natural drainage patterns for the area. 2. The general direction for the drainage on this property and on the adjacent properties is from northwest to southeast. It is therefore recommended that the amount of drainage and utility easement that is proposed to be vacated be limited to only what is needed for the garage, driveway, and a small buffer around the improvements. The remainder of the easement should be left in place to accommodate the existing drainage in the area on either side of the proposed garage. 3. A culvert will likely be needed under the proposed driveway and needs to be included on the sketch. The location of the culvert will impact where additional drainage and utility easement will need to be maintained. In conclusion, the information requested above needs to be provided and reviewed prior to approving any vacation of the existing drainage and utility easement. If you have any questions related to these comments or would like additional information, please let me know.

It contains 5 parcels totaling approximately 75 gross acres and consists of a residential density mix of single family lots, townhomes and an age restricted multi - family residence. The applicant had previously submitted a Concept Plan #1 but is requesting review of the submitted Concept Plan #2.

The proposed project will also require a City Council resolution to amend the five (5) year Utility Staging Area boundaries since the site spans two different areas (1A and 1B). Per the City's Comprehensive Plan, medium density residential development allows for residential development at 4.0 to 5.9 dwelling units per acre.

Lot widths for the single family units are 70 feet (85 feet for corner lots) and lot depths are 125 -130 feet. Street B is considered a minor collector street and 40 foot setbacks will apply. Additional provisions for future deck construction shall be incorporated into plans which meet required setbacks. The project proposes single family lots generally consistent with the R -2, Two Family Residence District. Residential home construction shall meet those requirements. No information was provided regarding the proposed townhome residences. The single family homes will also be subject to the garage and building facade architectural requirements contained in the R -2 district standards as follows: Garages. All single family dwellings shall have a double garage and shall comply with the following: a. Compliance with the Building Type and Construction Standards of Section 3. Subdivision 4.B, and b. All garages, except side or rear loaded garages, shall not protrude forward of the front wall of the house, unless the house includes a front porch that is unenclosed, a minimum of 8 feet in depth, and extends across 100 percent of the front facade of the house. The garage shall then not protrude forward of the front porch, and c. If the garage door faces the street, the length of the garage wall facing the street shall not be greater than fifty percent (50 %) of the length of the entire front facade of the structure; except on houses that comply with all of the following conditions: 1) The second floor living space extends over the two -car portion of the garage; and 2) The garage doors are decorative and have a strip of windows; and 3) Garages in excess of two stalls shall be broken up so the additional stalls are recessed four feet from the main garage facade; and 4) Garage width does not exceed 32 feet. Landscaping Boulevard trees are required at the rate of 1 tree per 70 linear feet of road frontage. Open areas shall be landscaped in accordance with City standards.. Landscape screening and buffers shall be installed along 20th Avenue and I -35E in accordance with City standards. Noise mitigation techniques along I -35E near townhomes shall be required COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The development is located in Planning District 3 and is guided for medium density residential development. The Resource Management System Plan identifies the following needs in the area: • Future neighborhood park • Designated bike route along CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) • Trails • Greenway system The proposed plan appears to address these elements. A preliminary survey finds no threatened or endangered species on the property or in the immediate vicinity. A 20 acre greenway corridor and park are proposed along the southeastern quadrant of the site adjacent to an existing drainage channel. It appears that the park can be expanded to the north in the future; however staff is still reviewing the size and configuration. Resource management recommendations for the area include a greenway system along the southeast quadrant of the site which coincides with the existing floodplain, drainage ditch and wetland areas. ALTERNATIVE URBAN AREAWIDE REVIEW (AUAR) The site is within the 2005 I -35E Corridor AUAR and is subject to the AUAR mitigation plan. The proposed development is consistent with development Scenario 1 for medium density residential. Please see Attachment 9 for a copy of the AUAR Mitigation Plan Summary. 4 • • • • • FLOODPLAIN OVERLAY DISTRICT The southeast quadrant of the site is located within a designated Zone A flood plain district. The applicant shall be responsible for verifying the base flood elevations, and demonstrating how the proposed floodplain fill areas will be mitigated on site. Both the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) and the City have specific permitting processes for floodplain fill. Additionally, a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) will need to be obtained from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for any alterations to the floodplain. GROWTH MANAGEMENT POLICY Per the Comprehensive Plan (page 3 -27), an annual average of 230 units per year over each 5 year phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any 1 year is allowed. At the end of the 5 year phasing period unallocated units will be averaged out over the next 5 years. A phasing plan may be required to insure consistency with this requirement. SUBDIVISION DESIGN STANDARDS A PUD Development Stage Plan and Final Plan application are required. The PUD ordinance details development requirements. It is also recommended that a neighborhood meeting be held with adjacent property owners. Staff's preliminary design comments are as follows: Blocks • Pedestrian ways are provided to break up long blocks and connect lots with open space. Lots • The single family lots are 70 feet in width (85 feet corner) and 125 -130 feet in depth. • Lot areas shall consist of buildable land exclusive of utility transmission or water course easements. • Wetlands require 10 foot buffer. • The proposed age restricted apartment is isolated among the single family lots. A location near the townhomes and open space would lend to a natural transition from low to high density development. Streets & Alleys CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) is an "A" Minor Arterial- Reliever and Cedar Street W is a local road. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the need for a minor collector road extending north -south through the development. Street A provides one access point onto CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) and the second access shall be provided at either Cedar Street (north) or Birch Street (south). Care should be taken in the design and layout of Street B to minimize the likelihood of cut through traffic from Birch Street to growing commercial areas north of the site. Street A is located consistent with the access spacing proposed in the 35E Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR). Additionally, the following items should be taken into consideration: • Street A & B shall be 32 feet wide. • Other streets will be allowed at 28 feet wide. • Sidewalk shall be installed along one side of Street A. • Street B shall be completed from Street A to Street F and full 60 feet of right of way will need to be provided for that portion of Street B extending north of Street A. • A turn lane off of 20th Avenue will be required subject to review by Anoka County. • A traffic study will be required as part of the development application. Build Out Plan A build out plan (ghost plat) illustrating a proposed future street system and land use (i.e. single family, townhomes, etc.) for adjacent parcels shall be required. Easements A private power line easement exists across the northwestern tip of the development. Drainage and utility easements shall be provided in accordance with the subdivision regulations. Easements will be placed along all property lines, around wetlands and stormwater ponding areas. Storm Water Management The drainage divide cuts the site diagonally. Most of the surface water flows to Clearwater Creek. A small portion flows to Amelia Lake. The concept plans shows several ponding areas throughout the development. A storm water management plan that meets or exceeds the requirements of Rice Creek Watershed District shall be prepared. • It would be beneficial to employ a stormwater treatment -train design that uses BMP's that can reduce volume and filter stormwater throughout the proposed development. • One (1) foot contours are required. • Rear yard drainage swales that exceed more than four lots in length will require a rear yard catch basin. • The wetland delineation that is shown has expired and will need to be updated. • A Rice Creek Watershed District permit will be required. We recommend beginning discussion with the district as soon as possible. 6 • • Public Utilities The subject site is located in Sanitary Sewer District 3 (Sub - district 3C) and is served by a MCES Interceptor 76 -51, a 24 -inch gravity sewer in Cedar Street The gravity sewer main is located approximately 400 feet to the east of the north boundary of the development and is adequate in size for development of the site. The trunk sanitary sewer main will extend from the existing MCES interceptor south on Street B into the development. The subject site is served by a 16 inch trunk watermain located in CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) and Cedar Street. The trunk watermain will extend from Cedar Street south along Street B to the proposed future extension of Birch Street and then west on Birch Street to 20th Avenue. Public Land Dedication The City will require a combination of land dedication and cash in lieu of land. A per unit fee will be charge against all units in the plat. The value of land proposed for dedication will be subtracted from this amount. Tree Preservation A tree survey and preservation plan shall be submitted. There are a few small tree stands • specifically on the southwestern corner of the site that will need to be evaluated. FINAL COMMENT The City's review and comments on the concept plan's relation to the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations does not grant any rights to the applicant to development the property as depicted by the concept plan.

The existing zoning of the site and surrounding area is "rural" with agriculture being the predominant use. The site and surrounding areas east of Co. Rd. 54 are guided for Medium Density Residential. The site drainage splits across the middle of the site. Runoff to the south being picked up by a ditch system cutting across the southeast corner of the site and runoff to the north going to the County ditch system. The site has light tree cover with trees mainly on perimeter boundary lines. The site is proposed to develop as a Planned Unit Development (PUD). There is a mix of 163 single family lots, 41 townhouse lots and an approximately 60 unit age restricted residence building. Approximately 22 acres of open space and park is proposed plus trails and sidewalks. Enhancing the open space are 70 foot wide single family lots instead of the 60 foot widths allowed by the guided zoning. Existing utilities are located on the north side of the site at Cedar Street. Thus the site is set to develop from the north to the south over a 4 to 5 year period extending streets and utilities through each phase. The layout has been designed to address access for adjoining properties with street stubs, two on the south and three on the north. It is anticipated there will be a master association over the entire project for the maintenance of any common open space and main entrance from Co. Rd. 54. The townhouse area will have a sub association to maintain common space within their area. The age restricted residence will maintain their facility and grounds. To meet infiltration requirements of the Watersheds, AJE is looking into the feasibility of using storm runoff as a means to irrigate the open spaces which would also be part of the master association. AJE Companies will maintain architectural review and have restrictive covenants, yet to be defined, to maintain a clean and viable neighborhood. Proposed land use is as follows: Single Family Housing — 40.4 ac (total) Individual S.F. Lots — 36.1 ac Townhome Area — 4.3 ac Age Restricted Residence — 1.3 ac Open Space /Park — 22.0 ac Street R/W — 11.3 ac Commercial — 0.0 ac We look forward to working with the City and staff through the development planning process to create a neighborhood all future residence will feel proud of.

It may be beneficial to the developer and the city to investigate wetland restoration. Restoration may allow for credits that could be generated to allow for wetland impacts that might occur to create an internal loop to proposed high - density housing in the SE corner. This would allow for immediate development of the proposed high - density housing into the medium density housing proposed for the site. • The site includes floodplain in the SE corner. This will need to be defined with the project design. • Sound barrier /noise attenuation from the freeway should be incorporated into the design for housing. • AUAR concerns must be addressed • Page 1 • • Katie Larsen From: Nicholas Tomczik <ntomczik @ricecreek.org> Sent Wednesday, July 24, 2013 3:39 PM To: Katie Larsen Subject: RE: Plan Review for Lino Lakes Katie, The District's initial comments for the proposed development located between Cty Rd 54 and 35E and just south of Cedar Street W are as follows: • The District files indicate that the wetland delineation was approved in early 2005 and has expired. A new wetland delineation would be required utilizing the current policies and procedures. (Appears to be a cropped area so an aerial slide review would be required.) • The property is located in the Lino Lakes CWPMP and subject to the special provisions of RCWD Rule F Section 6. The section, in part, requires a functional analysis of the wetlands in order to apply Table 1 and /or Table 2 for wetland activities. • The applicant will need to maintain the capacity of the private drainage system on the property for any upstream properties. As you know, at this early stage, these comments are not intended as an exhaustive review and the RCWD looks forward to working with the applicant as their project develops.

This summary may seem lengthy at 11 pages. However, the complete mitigation plan is 29 pages long. This summary list is intended as an aide, a shortcut, and is not to be considered the complete list of requirements for development in the 4660 -acre AUAR area. In order to understand the mitigation strategies, potential developers should spend time reading the AUAR, especially the mitigation plan. In addition, all applicable zoning, subdivision, and other requirements apply. ITEM 11. FISH, WILDLIFE, ECOLOGICALLY SENSITIVE RESOURCE Mitigation Strategies The City will: Implement the Conservation Design Framework (CDF, see Figure 10-3), which includes conservation of "Core" and "Outlier" habitat areas, buffering these natural resources, and establishing greenway corridors throughout the AUAR area to provide connectivity for ecological and wildlife corridors, regional stormwater collection and conveyance, and passive recreational opportunities. Implementing the CDF within a Proposed Development Project Site To achieve the objectives outlined in the CDF, the City will require future project proposers to do two things simultaneously: 1) plan for ecological stormwater management and natural resource conservation within the development project site, and 2) provide land, finances, and/or construction activities to implement components of the CDF. Conservation development design and /or low impact development design principles will be required of new developments with an emphasis on ecological stormwater management and natural resource conservation. The stormwater and conservation components of individual developments must integrate with the CDF. A management plan and stewardship fund will be required to ensure long- term perpetuation of the public values conserved or restored in the natural open space and in the ecological stormwater management system of the CDF. Ecological education, provided by the developer, may be required for a specific development project (e.g., educational pamphlets, signage, Home Owner Association workshops, etc.). 1 • • 11.2 Add the "Core" and "Outlier" habitat areas to the City's Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways, and Trail System Plan map. 11.3 Require public land dedication of priority natural open space areas through the subdivision process. 11.4 Require that cash in lieu of public land dedication for subdivisions within the AUAR area be spent within the AUAR area to purchase, restore, and/or maintain priority natural open space areas. 11.5 Consider provisions for conserving "Other" habitat areas (see Figure 10 -2) during the development review process. 11.6 Establish mechanisms for ecological restoration, management, stewardship, and education. 11.7 Provide for turtle and other wildlife passage by continuing to require surmountable curbing in new residential developments and encouraging ecologically sensitive site design. 11.8 Consult with the DNR and/or US Fish and Wildlife Service to determine appropriate mitigation strategies for activities near the Bald Eagle's nests within the AUAR area before development occurs within the vicinity of the nests, including reviewing recommended disturbance limit guidelines developed by the DNR. 11.9 Continue to enforce the Peltier Lake No -Wake Zone ordinance and establish buffers to protect the Peltier Lake Heron Rookery. 11.10 Require rare plant surveys, by qualified personnel, prior to development in wetland areas. 11.11 Encourage ecologically sensitive design and construction practices for the proposed northerly bypass. ITEM 12. WATER RESOURCES: WETLANDS ITEM 13. WATER USE • Mitigation Strategies The City will: 12.1 Delineate wetlands in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and classify wetlands according to Wetlands of the United States (Circular 39) and Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States. 12.2 Follow sequencing process of wetland avoidance, minimization, rectification, and mitigation as outlined in the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) if wetlands area altered. 12.3 Apply for applicable wetland permits to obtain authorization for wetland alterations under WCA and Section 404 prior to project construction if development activities will impact a jurisdictional wetland. 12.4 Mitigate areas of wetland impacts according to the requirements of the Wetland Conservation Act. 12.5 Submit wetland permit applications and replacement plans, as appropriate, to the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, Rice Creek Watershed District, and the City of Lino Lakes. 12.6 Follow the requirements for wetland alterations delineated by the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). 12.7 Minimize or avoid totally any filling of public waters through careful design. Mitigation Strategies The City will: 13.1 Monitor water usage and do not permit new development to proceed if it exceeds the capacity of the water supply and distribution system. 13.2 Construct the water supply and distribution system in accordance with Minnesota Department of Health standards and with the goals, policies, and recommendations set forth in the city's Comprehensive Water System Plan. 13.3 As necessary, amend the city's Comprehensive Water System Plan and Capital • Improvement Plan to be consistent with an future amendments or updates to the • • • Comprehensive Plan that would necessitate expansions or alterations to the water system. 13.4 Prepare a Wellhead Protection Plan amendment for new wells and follow the adopted wellhead protection plans for Lino Lakes and Centerville. 13.5 Require abandoned private wells to be sealed in compliance with the Minnesota Department of Health regulations. 13.6 Require that the installation of any private individual wells be constructed and installed in accordance with the Minnesota Department of Health regulations (Minnesota Well Code). 13.7 Continue to implement the City's adopted water conservation policies which are intended to attenuate peak water demands throughout the City. ITEM 15. WATER SURFACE USE Mitigation Strategies The City will: 15.1 Consider restricting individual lake access and dock construction along public and private shorelands by encouraging the use of clustered access and dock facilities. ITEM 16 EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION Mitigation Strategies The City will: 16.1 Require project proposers to acquire NPDES /SDS General Stormwater Permit for Construction Activity from the MPCA prior to initiating earthwork. 16.2 Require project proposers to meet the erosion and sediment control regulations in all applicable regulations, ordinances and rules of the city and MPCA, and Rice Creek Watershed District. 16.3 Require project proposers to minimize runoff, improve the quality of runoff, and provide erosion control through BMPs and other low impact development techniques. including: • Reduce impervious surfaces (e.g., use narrow roads, efficient road layout, permeable pavement); • • Break up impervious surfaces to allow opportunities for infiltration; • Use ecological stormwater management techniques, such as vegetated swales, infiltration systems, and biofilter wetlands; • Provide energy dissipation and outfall stabilization; and • Establish and maintain vegetated buffers around aquatic resources. 16.4 Provide construction oversight to ensure designed sediment and erosion control measures are being implemented. 16.5 Implement the Conservation Design Framework (CDF, Figure 10 -3). which is designed to help mitigate erosion and sedimentation caused by surface water runoff. Components of the CDF that help mitigate erosion and sedimentation include conservation of natural open spaces, buffering, and an ecological stormwater management system. ITEM 17 WATER QUALITY: SURFACE WATER RUNOF Mitigation Strategies The City will: 17.1 Work with project proposers to establish a regional stormwater management system within the Conservation Design Framework (CDF, see Figure 10 -3) that consists of vegetated swales, wet prairies, and wetlands oriented in series to effectively retard runoff rates, reduce stormwater volume, and enhance water quality. 17.2 Work with project proposers to disperse collection, conveyance, and management of stormwater runoff as much as possible throughout the AUAR site through the use of bio- swales, rain gardens, and infiltration areas. 17.3 Require stormwater management systems to be developed in accordance with Rice Creek Watershed District Rules. 17.4 Require project proposers to design stormwater management areas (SMAs) to support native vegetation and maintain runoff rates at or below pre- development conditions. 17.5 Require project proposers to design stormwater management systems that can achieve proposed conditions runoff volumes that are no less than 80% and no greater than 150% of existing conditions runoff volumes. 17.6 Encourage project proposers to use techniques that produce no net increases in total phosphorus content of proposed conditions runoff relative to existing conditions runoff. 17.7 Require project proposers to provide detailed topographic information with a contour interval of 1 -foot and drain tile mapping. • • • 17.8 Require project proposers to disperse outflow from stormwater management facilities to prevent erosion and failure of outlet structures. Make attempts to simulate sheet flow at these locations as opposed to concentrated flows. 17.9 Require project proposers to use conservation development design and/or low impact development techniques, and ecological stormwater management techniques. 17.10 Require project proposers to limit the amount and connectedness of impervious surfaces and direct runoff into vegetated landscape areas including swales, prairies, and other infiltration. 17.11 Require project proposers to use stormwater management techniques that encourage infiltration of stormwater runoff and groundwater recharge, whenever possible, to maximize the infiltration potential of the site. Sizing criteria for SMAs are designed to support large infiltrating surfaces or wetland complexes. To create conditions appropriate for these two types of stormwater management features, SMAs within the AUAR area must have: • no more than 20% of their surface area as permanent open water; the remaining surface area of each SMA shall contain mesic prairie or wet prairie plant communities to maximize the infiltration and water quality treatment capacities of the system. • design high water levels (100 -Year) less than or equal to 2.5 feet above the normal water level or lowest outlet invert. • side slopes that are less than or equal to 6:1, horizontal to vertical, and a 10:1 safety bench at the normal water level per RCWD requirements. The following is a list of additional stormwater management recommendations: • Adhere to surface area recommendations for stormwater management (Figure 17 -3). • During site design, follow low impact development practices, such as increased open space, disconnected and minimized impervious surfaces, capitalizing on high infiltration capacity soils, and dispersed stormwater management. • In residential development areas, use of a combination of side and rear lot drainage easements that are no -mow zones planted with formal or informal native landscaping. The rear lot areas would be designed for infiltration, and side lot areas would be designed for effective drainage and conveyance of water from around foundations to ensure no standing water remains adjacent to the houses. • Route driveway, sidewalk and gutter downspout waters into rain gardens and infiltration areas. This can be accomplished without compromising • safe and effective drainage and dewatering needs around foundations and road subgrades. • Route road runoff into parkway and road ROW swales, rain gardens, and infiltration areas. • Route parking lot runoff into bio- swales, parking lot islands, and other suitable locations that support infiltration. ITEM 18 WATER QUALITY: WASTEWATE ' Mitigation Strategies The City will: 18.1 Monitor wastewater flows and not permit new development to proceed if it exceeds the capacity of the wastewater system. 18.2 Construct the major infrastructure improvements needed to expand the capacity of the wastewater system (i.e. lift stations, forcemains, and upgrades to the existing systems) in accordance with the Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan and Capital Improvement Plan. • 18.3 Adequately phase capacity improvements. • 18.4 Amend the Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan and Capital Improvement Plan to be consistent with any amendments to the Comprehensive Plan that would necessitate expansions or alterations to the sanitary sewer system and regional capacity needs. ITEM 19 SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION Mitigation Strategies The City will: 19.1 Require the removal of all tanks and associated underground piping in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. 19.2 Require that any party that may discover residual petroleum contamination shall follow state law and report the information to the MPCA for further investigation and potential remediation. • ITEM 21 TRANSPORTATION Mitigation Strategies The City will: 21.1 Create a monitoring program that closely evaluates traffic impacts from proposed developments within the AUAR area. 21.2 Implement traffic mitigation measures as development occurs within the AUAR area. Specific mitigation measures for the three development scenarios are discussed in Item 21 and depicted on Figures 21 -8, 21 -9, and 21 -10. These mitigation measures improve overall traffic operations for the respective development scenarios. The improvements are intended to represent the minimum level of infrastructure investment that would be needed to meet acceptable level of service standards. Additional roadway and non - motorized improvements, beyond the minimum level, may be identified to accommodate specific development needs that are identified within the AUAR area." Primary improvements, regardless of land use scenario, include: 21.2.1. Develop frontage road system in compliance with local, county and state access management guidelines to serve local and regional traffic. • 21.2.2 Work with appropriate road authorities to reconstruct and provide additional capacity for CSAH 21. • 21.2.3 Work with appropriate road authorities to construct Northerly Bypass with new interchanges at I -35W and I -35E (80th Street East) to improve traffic operations and access to and within the AUAR area. As recommended by FHWA and Mn/DOT, a phasing plan should be established to construct each piece of the Northerly Connector as it becomes necessary to maintain the serviceability of the transportation system. Phase Improvement 1. CSAH 14, I -35W to I -35E (funded and programmed for construction) 2. CSAH 14, I -35E Interchange 3. CR 140 (80th Street )/I -35E Interchange 4. CSAH 14 across Peltier Lake (Northerly Bypass /Connector) 5. CSAH 14/I -35W Interchange As part of these improvements, the following steps should be taken as the opportunity is presented: • Inclusion of the northerly bypass and proposed interchanges in future transportation and comprehensive plans • Preservation of right of way through official mapping or other process • Right of way dedication through the platting process • • • 21.3 Require a traffic impact analysis for all development projects within the AUAR area. The traffic impact analysis will assist the City and other road authorities in determining the appropriate mitigation measures that are required to mitigate impacts of a specific development proposal. 21.4 Work with appropriate road authorities to mitigate the impact of the additional traffic on the on the regional system, specifically Interstates 35W and 35E, by reconstructing each to provide a six -lane cross - section consistent with the recommendations outlined in the 1 -35 IRC. It should be noted that it was determined that an expansion will be necessary even without the development scenarios used in this analysis. As the interstates serve a much larger area, the projected growth of the entire Twin Cities region should warrant expansion by the year 2030. 21.5 Prioritize alternative travel modes within the AUAR study area and require project proposers to address alternative travel modes (e.g., buses, bicyclists, and pedestrians) by identifying appropriate accommodations. 21.6 Consider the need for additional infrastructure improvements (see item #21.2) in future updates or amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. Submit the plan update to the appropriate agencies (i.e., FHWA, MnDOT, Met Council, etc.). 21.7 Require project proposers to follow all appropriate guidelines and policies related to traffic nose and noise walls. 21.8 Require that site plans for each of the developments include measures such as appropriate setback distances, earthen berms, noise walls, and appropriate site design to reduce the impact of traffic noise to residential areas. 21.9 Continue to require the implementation of the conditions of approval for the Eagle Brook Church relating to mitigating traffic impacts. 21.10 Achieve effective traffic operations within the city by requiring that site plans make use of access management practices to promote sate, effective traffic flow. 21.11 Require project proposers to follow the Anoka County Highway Department Development Review Process Manual (dated December 2003.) 21.12 Continue to coordinate capital improvement programming with applicable transportation authorities. ITEM 25 CULTURAL RESOURCES ITEM 25. UNIQUE FARMLANDS • • Mitigation Strategies The City will: 25.1 Consult the map that shows areas with a high potential for archaeological sites when development applications are submitted for review. Given the sensitive nature of this information, this map cannot be included in the AUAR document, nor can it be made available to the public. If a development application falls within an area that is considered to have a high potential for archaeological sites, the city will require that the following steps and procedures involved in the identification and analysis of any archaeological sites is followed prior to development: • Conduct a Phase I archaeological survey within the area of potential effect (APE). The objective of the archaeological fieldwork is to determine if there are archaeological sites in the areas identified as having high potential for such, and define the extent of those sites that may be impacted by development plans. ■ Conduct a Phase II archaeological survey. If archaeological resources are uncovered within the APE that may be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) a Phase II survey should be conducted. The objective of the investigation is to determine whether archaeological resources are eligible for listing on the NRHP. • Plan for avoidance or conduct Phase III data recovery. If a significant archaeological site is identified that will be impacted by development, avoidance is recommended. If this is not possible, then a data recovery of the site should occur. • If human remains are recovered at any time during archaeological investigation or development, all activities must stop and consultation initiated with the Office of the State Archaeologist and Minnesota Indian Affairs Council. Mitigation Strategies The city will: 25.2 Consider preservation of agricultural heritage sites by implementing thoughtful interpretive planning. 10 ITEM 27_ COMPATIBILITY WITH PLANS • • Mitigation Strategies The city will: 27.1 Use the information contained in the AUAR during future considerations of updates or amendments to the adopted Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Any future consideration of amendments or updates to the Comprehensive Plan and Ordinances would follow the city's set procedures and guidelines for such amendments. 27.2 Require that tools such as clustering, buffering, and/or screening be incorporated into future development plans to mitigate potential land use conflicts. GENERAL IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS: • All development must comply with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan will guide the permitted land use, zoning, utility extensions, and other development activities. • Approval of future planned unit developments (PUDs), together with the development agreements, which include specific requirements. • Execution of future developer's agreements under the City of Lino Lakes's subdivision ordinances. • Enforcement of the permitting requirements of all applicable local, state, and federal agencies. • Update the AUAR in five years, or earlier, if certain conditions or assumptions change in accordance with Mn Rules 4410.3610, subp. 3. • Enforcement of the City's premature subdivision regulations (Section 1002 -6) to ensure that adequate public facilities are available to mitigate potential impacts. The premature subdivision requirements follow: 11
