PUBLIC HEARING, Gary Uhde, Apollo Business Center, Conditional Use Permit - Dirt Stockpile Chair Schaps declared the public hearing opened at 6:34 p.m. Staff presented the application by G.M. Development (Gary Uhde) who is developing an area known as the Apollo Business Center located east of Jon Avenue, between the 74th Street alignment and I -35W. He reviewed a map depicting the subject property noting that within this area the Blue Heron and Contract Hardware sites have been developed, the H& L Mesabi site plan has been approved for development, and the Twin City Fab (parcel D) and Marmon/Keystone (parcel E) sites have submitted site plans for review. Staff advised of utilities provided to the site and creation of borrow pits which were expected to be later utilized as storm water pond sites. Commissioner Rafferty arrived at 6:39 p.m. Staff advised that since the original application su plan revisions and additional information. Staf information on the proposed grading plan and th report.

PUBLIC HEARING, Twin City Fabrication, 295 Apollo Drive, Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit Chair Schaps declared the public hearing opened at 6:40 p.m. Staff presented the application of Twin City Fabrication for a site plan and conditional use permit for a metal fabricating business in the private Apollo Business Center. The site is LI Light Industrial. Some outdoor storage on a limited basis will be needed, which requires a conditional use permit. The lot for this project was created by a minor subdivision that was approved by the P & Z on June 14 and approved by the City Council on June 26. Staff indicated that this project, when completed, will be a desirable addition • • Planning & Zoning Board July 12, 2000 Page 3 to the City and its tax base. However, the application submittal was incomplete. Staff worked with the applicants to attempt to get enough information to prepare a complete report. Unfortunately, the information did not come together enough that staff can recommend approval at this time. Staff presented their comments related to this project as contained in the staff report and indicated they are recommending continuing the public hearing to the August 9, 2000 meeting. Mr. Johnson asked what will be stored on this site. Staff indicated the size has been identified and will be shown on the future plans. He stated they plan to store pipes, on a limited basis, prior to fabrication and/or prior to shipment. Chair Schaps asked the applicant if he wished to be heard. Gary Nordness, applicant, stated the staff presented an accurate reflection of his request and he had nothing to add.

Like the TC Fab project, this project, when completed, will be a desirable addition to the City and its tax base. However, the application submittal was incomplete. Staff worked with the applicants to attempt to get enough information to prepare a complete report. Unfortunately, the information did not come together enough that staff can recommend approval at this time. Staff presented their comments related to this project as contained in the staff report and indicated they are recommending continuing the public hearing to the August 9, 2000 meeting. Mr. Corson inquired regarding the existing swale. Mr. Powell stated it will be realigned to the common property line and then routed to an existing pond where filtration will be provided that meets the requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District. Chair Schaps asked the applicant if he wished to be heard. The applicant indicated he had nothing to add. Planning & Zoning Board July 12, 2000 Page 4 Mr. Schilling made a MOTION to continue the public hearing to August 9, 2000 to allow the applicant to prepare complete information and staff to prepare a complete report and recommendation and was supported by Mr. Rafferty. Motion carried 7 -0. D. PUBLIC HEARING, (Continuation), Town Center Development Standards Staff noted the public hearing and discussion held and continued on the Town Center Development Standards to allow additional time for public input. Staff continues its efforts to discuss the standards and requested the public hearing be continued to the next meeting. Chair Schaps asked if consideration of these standards is on schedule with the previously indicated time line. Mr. Smyser explained that a lot of issues have come up so that schedule is no longer a consideration. Also, there is not a strong unanimous community support so the issues will continue to be addressed. Ms. Divine introduced Ross Fefercorn who staff has bee application for the Metropolitan Council Livable Co purpose of this grant to look at alternatives to spra which takes a lot of land, no mixed use, and the rking with in making ties Grant. She explained the al suburban development tran w ortation to find services. Ross Fefercorn introduced himself as the '.,.W sident k; a untry Homes and advised of his p d the projects they currently have work with development and construction � k 4�� under construction and planning eff. s with % en sta Heights where a Livable Communities Grant was receive' , resent; the Town Center concept plan and revisions made to address how re e supported, traffic circulation, location of housing, type of housing, • _ a �, >�� =nts. He explained the Town Center plan was refined and presented t : ; anges a• to reduce the area of retail, focus retail off Village Drive, provide a co ` , cti •, with northbound I -35W traffic, create larger entryway design features, eli :' 'on of the cinema use since there was not enough area to support the needed parking and the site location was not desirable, hotel concept closer to the freeway entrance, and specialty restaurant. Mr. Fefercorn advised that retail will be the last area to be developed and refinements were made to encourage more rapid residential development. Mr. Fefercorn commented on their effort to review design guidelines and criteria. In response to Mr. Johnson, Mr. Fefercorn stated the design standards will require some refinement. Mr. Corson stated they wanted enhanced pedestrian circulation including covered access. Mr. Fefercorn stated there are sidewalks and boulevards and the intent of the original plan is intact to create a walkable pedestrian friendly uses. However, the senior housing use is a stand alone building without skyways, etc. which would be cost prohibitive. Mr. Fefercom commented on the possible creation of a master housing association and sub - housing association to address the sidewalks, snow removal, landscape maintenance, etc. to assure consistent care. He reviewed several commercial projects that abut • Planning & Zoning Board July 12, 2000 Page 5 residential homes and his finding that it is important to properly integrate rather than to segregate such uses. Mr. Smyser reviewed the number and types of residential units being proposed in the draft Plan, equaling about 440 residential units. 27,000 sq. ft. of retail, and 28,000 sq. ft. of office use. He advised the plan being presented are concepts only and in no way has been approved. Mr. Johnson agreed with the benefit of having a final design plan prior to revising the development standards. He stated another issue is whether the Town Center should be made up of two distinct areas (retail - residential). Ms. Divine stated the Metropolitan Council gave money to implement the design standards so if they are not approved, it could be considered as a "strike against us." Chair Schaps stated the Council needs to make a decision as soon as possible on whether the development standards should be considered prior to ' . ter the design plan. Mr. Rafferty noted Cal Thorp created the design p a dM a second concept is being prepared by Mr. Fefercorn who is a developer. a no d that ' eating a second plan will equate to more dollars being spent. He stated tha ile he appreciated having a developer involved, he cautioned the Cou Mr. Fefercom stated that Cal Thorp ' from &1 ifo is and does a good job in creating a seed plan but such plans can evo a be plan. He stated they reviewed the , development standards and foun• `° id document but, perhaps, somewhat onerous. Mr. Rafferty asked Mr. Fe e, . he is a developer with the intent of developing in the Town Center. Mr. Fefercorn z:t.' ered affirmatively and stated he is a developer and is interested in developing in Lino Lakes. He clarified that he is not a hired Lino Lakes consultant. Mr. Rafferty asked Mr. Fefercom if he is hiring an architect to make the requested revisions. Mr. Fefercorn stated the changes were made between the City and it's hired consultant (Studio Works). Chair Schaps stated he would like to entertain comments made on the development standards and asked Mr. Fefercom to submit his suggestions in writing. Mr. Rafferty noted the Midwest is a very different climate and more financially conservative than California. Mr. Fefercorn presented the project he is currently working with in Mendota Heights. Planning & Zoning Board July 12, 2000 Page 6 Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to continue the public hearing to the August 9, 2000 Planning & Zoning Board meeting, and was supported by Mr. Corson. Motion carried 7- 0. E. PUBLIC HEARING, (Continuation) Ordinance 09 -00, Tree Preservation Ordinance Staff noted that at the June 14 meeting, the P & Z opened and continued the public hearing on the new tree preservation ordinance. The hearing was continued for two reasons: 1) There was some concern about requirements for residents building on the individual single family lots; and, 2) It was hoped to receive additional input from developers. Staff indicated that rather than rewriting the draft ordinance, they decided to ask the City's environmental specialist, Marty Aslesen, to attend the P & Z meeting to explain how they currently addresses tree preservation on single family lots. The requirements in the draft ordinance reflect current practice. Specifically, d ction III.A.1. on page 4, and IV.A. on page 5, and IV.B.3. apply to single family ho p building lots. It was noted staff had received one additional letter ' h coggs is from a developer, Heritage Development. The P & Z discussed • tie er . m C •' ison & Associates at the June meeting. The Environmental Board discussez s a new tree preservation requirements twice. Staff advised that the se the hearing or continue it if additional information is needed. The ordi 9, require a first and second reading by the City Council. Chair Schaps excused himself fro ding at 7:45 p.m. Vice Chair Lane chaired the remainder of the meeting. Mr. Aslesen reviewed his ith tree preservation and importance to educate residents and builders in this r°_fi d. Mr. Rafferty commented on the importance of assuring tree preservation actually occurs. He suggested that the house should be located in consideration of tree location and in such a way to save all trees possible. He stated he appreciates Mr. Aslesen's work. Mr. Johnson commented on the importance of open communication between the developer/builder and City staff to assure significant trees are identified and it can be determined which trees are worth saving and which are not due to storm damage, disease, etc. Mr. Corson stated he believes all in Lino Lakes appreciate the need to preserve trees. However, he would like it simply defined which trees are significant and should be saved, or to assure an ordinance such as being considered is correctly written. He noted the indication that certain trees are not considered desirable and cannot be used as replacement. • • • • • Planning & Zoning Board July 12, 2000 Page 7 Mr. Aslesen stated those issues will have to be considered as well as the most appropriate tree to place along wetland areas. He commented on the importance of assuring a buffer is established. Mr. Corson noted two maple trees that are not allowed. Mr. Aslesen explained that certain maple trees are considered by some to be too evasive. In consideration of costs, Mr. Corson asked if the Forester can be used to identify the location of trees. Mr. Aslesen explained that using a landscape architect would provide the exact tree location on the survey. Mr. Corson stated he wants to assure, when looking at developments and in consideration of the need to balance dirt, that the plans will create the overall drainage that is needed. He stated he wants to assure low treed area are not being saved if it prevents a problem low drainage area. Mr. Powell explained that those low treed areas that were mistakenly created in the past are now being considered to provide infiltration. He agreed it is a balancing effort. Mr. Corson stated he believes that some refinements ,a'i needed in the beginning stages. Mr. Johnson noted the past meeting minutes inclu existing single family homes will be impa homes owners to explain what they are and the number of questions asked of s statement wanting to know how sted a preamble to single family pected to do, which may also reduce Mr. Smyser recommended to app concerned if the P & Z Bo noted the indication of requirements that are not p nance, however, indicated he would not be sert language as suggested by Mr. Johnson. He th the proposed draft ordinance does not add any ay, it simply puts it into writing. Gary Uhde, developer, stated he is confused since he had the understanding that the new ordinance is nothing different than what has been there in the past. But, at the last meeting he understood the brunt of the tree replacement portion is one that the developer would be responsible for. He advised that he has never replaced any trees in the residential projects they have developed in Lino Lakes. He stated they are in support of saving trees and will modify lots and make house modifications if possible to save trees. Mr. Uhde commented on the need for the developer to clear the area needed for streets and utilities which require clear cutting. Also, with front loading garages a minimum 50 foot pad is needed. He noted that if trees are located too close to the basement so the tree roots are cut, the tree often times dies within two years. He stated they found that it creates more problems when they try to save too many trees too close to the foundation. Also, the Rice Creek Watershed District requires the creation of ponds which results in the need to remove trees. Another impact on trees is creating higher elevation building pads to assure the lowest floor elevation meets the City's requirements. Mr. Uhde stated they support saving trees but do not support the ordinance as it is currently written. He estimated it costs $7,000 to clear the site and the ordinance will Planning & Zoning Board July 12, 2000 Page 8 result in an additional $10,000 to replace the trees. He noted that in this scenario, owning a lot with trees will be viewed as a penalty. He suggested a better ordinance can be drafted to enhance tree preservation and restoration, such as requiring a landscaping plan for each lot. Mr. Smyser clarified the draft ordinance puts into writing current practices for single family lots and certainly adds more requirements for larger development areas. John Johnson, engineer representing Gary Uhde, presented a seven acre parcel between Sunset and the Bays Fifth Addition. He noted the property has been surveyed and 4,500 trees have been identified. He noted that 50 trees (over 800 caliper inches) were identified within the public right -of -way that would have to be removed. John Johnson noted that would total 1,500 to 1,600 caliper inches of trees which would require replacement at 90 %. He stated this would equal about 300 trees and asked if this will impact the project to the point it is no longer feasible, noting the acreage does not contain adequate space to replace the trees within the seven acre parcel. John Johnson stated that this is a unique site and they want to assure it is develope.==<; ght related to road layout and house placement. He stated he wanted to share this in ; ation with the Board to show an extreme case and suggested there should be a m �� .d_u4� dress the public spaces (roads and easements) and the private spaces (b ow tree replacement is considered. Mr. Aslesen noted that John Johnson pres conservation development approach is cons more flexible. d type of design but if a tead, the development standards are John Johnson suggested there . „- e• �;_* = xibility to these development standards. Mr. Rafferty noted this �'_cular a s wooded and for sale but the ordinance is addressing a spirit of tree p on and protection. He asked if the area is suppose to be developed if three to four f higher elevations are needed to site a home. Mr. Uhde stated a survey to identify tree location was needed to consider tree preservation and cost analysis to determine if it is feasible for development. Mr. Johnson asked if the requirements will be this stringent if a project remains fairly wooded after the roads, utilities, and homes are sited. Mr. Aslesen stated there is definitely more flexibility with a planned unit development. Mr. Smyser thanked John Johnson for his work on raising these issues and stated he would like to talk to him further about the issues he raised. He stated the goal of the preservation approach is that the developer would not have to sacrifice lots or housing units in order to retain natural features. Mr. Johnson asked if John Johnson's concern is realistic. Mr. Smyser stated it is a realistic concern and he would like to look further at the example that was presented. He explained the primary concern with regulations on development is the impact to develop a viable project. • • • Planning & Zoning Board July 12, 2000 Page 9 John Johnson stated he would welcome a discussion with staff and commented that issues of density, varying setbacks, less right -of -way, more narrow paving, etc. may be considerations. He offered to work with staff on these issues. Mr. Corson stated he would like to see a PDO layout on the property discussed by Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson explained that PDOs are generally considered with the City receiving some benefit that would not otherwise have been received. Mr. Corson stated PDOs are looked at suspiciously and stated it would be nice to use the term "Tree Preservation PDO." Vice Chair Lane stated if development is desired, losing some trees is the price that will be paid. Or, perhaps, heavily wooded properties should not be included within MUSA. She stated she does not know that every tree removed for the placement of a road or utility should be required to be replaced. However, she supports preservation within the residential lot. Mr. Rafferty stated staff has done a good job in findin method to protect trees and he appreciates the efforts of Mr. Uhde and John Johnso her study this issue. He stated that effort is worthy of additional consider.. i. .y th... . d.

Respectfully submitted, Carla Wirth, Recording Secretary TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. • • • AGENDA ITEM V A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Mary Kay Wyland MEETING DATE: August 9, 2000 TOPIC: Steve Benesch, 8251 Lake Drive, Minor Subdivision DESCRIPTION: Steve Benesch is requesting a minor subdivision at 8251 Lake Drive that would add a 1,777 square foot triangle (24 x 144) to his existing parcel of property in order to correct an encroachment onto the neighbors property created when a garage slab was placed over the property line. The property owner at 8255 Lake Drive, Dave & Debbie Stoppelman, have agreed to sell this triangular parcel to Mr. Benesch. The Stoppelman parcel is a "flag lot" with a 50' x 255' strip of property leading to a larger, 166' x 308', parcel. Their total parcel is 2.35 acres in size. The driveway is located on the northerly side of the 50' strip of property. Mr. Benesch's parcel is .72 acres in size. The properties in question are currently Zoned Rural and guided for low density sewered residential development in the Draft Comp Plan. The two parcels under consideration were created prior to establishment of the10 acre minimum and are considered pre- existing non - conforming lots of record. The triangular piece to be split from one parcel and given to the other is insignificant in comparison to the overall rural lot minimum requirements. The adjoining property owners have agreed to sell the triangular piece of property to Mr. Benesch. It does not appear that the existing driveway to the Stoppelman home will be adversely affected by the location of the garage and Mr. Benesch has limited space for relocation of the slab. The proposed garage and slab will meet all setback requirements with approval of this subdivision, as the structure will be 5' from the side property line and more than 40' from the front property line. Mr. Benesch was unaware of the building permit requirements when he poured his slab which created the encroachment and necessitated the subdivision. Staff would, therefore, recommend approval of this minor subdivision with the following conditions: 1. Proper building permits are issued prior to any additional construction. 2. The minor subdivision shall be recorded with Anoka County prior to issuance of any building permits. 3. Additional right -of -way shall be deeded to Anoka County for the future reconstruction of Lake Drive if required by the County. This additional right - of -way shall be dedicated from Mr.Benesch's property prior to issuance of any building permits. 4. No park dedication shall be required with this minor subdivision. OPTIONS: 1. Approve minor subdivision with conditions outlined above. 2. Return to staff for further consideration RECOMMENDATION: Option 1 • • 1 1 • • / x isc e.2 ;7 E ° fi c2 ry.) 1i a c l2 .

The property is Zoned Rural and guided for low- density unsewered residential development in the draft Comprehensive Plan. According to the Zoning Ordinance, Mr. Krause is allowed a total of 3600 square feet of accessory building space on his 3.25 acres. Construction of this proposed structure will bring his total accessory building space to 2,384 square feet which is well within the requirements of the Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance also provides, in Section 3, Subd. 4. D. Accessory Buildings and Structures. 1.a. "No detached accessory structure shall be closer to the front lot line then the principal building or its attached garage." Thus the variance requested is to allow the accessory building in front of the principal building. • Findings of Fact. In considering all requests for variance or appeal and in taking • subsequent action, the City shall make a finding of fact: 1. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. 2. That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his property not created by the land owner. 3. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone and when a reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. 4. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that would be denied by this ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. 5. That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. Mr. Krause has submitted a sketch indicating that he has a heavily wooded lot with a drainage ditch and wetland area in the north/west corner. He has limited space for this proposed structure as his drain field and septic tank occupy the south /east corner of his property. In review of the site Staff concurs that there is a hardship created by the lay of the land. A letter has been submitted by the adjoining property owner, to the north, indicating no objections to the location of the accessory structure in front of the home. • • • For P & Z and Council information, Wood Duck Trail was recently added to our State Aid roadway system. Although the proposed structure is located 40 feet from the front property line we may need an additional 10' of right -of -way for future road reconstruction. This is not anticipated in the near future but we would recommend that the proposed structure be moved 10' westerly to allow for this future reconstruction and maintenance of the required 40' setback at that time. Staff would, therefore, recommend approval of this variance request with the following conditions: 1. Proper building permits are obtained prior to any construction. 2.

C STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer P & Z MEETING DATE: August 9, 2000 TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING, G.M. Development, Apollo Business Center, Conditional Use Permit - Grading BACKGROUND: This project was originally considered by the Planning and Zoning Board on July 12, 2000, but the Public Hearing was continued. Since that time, the applicant has submitted additional detail and revised plans for the City's consideration. G.M. Development (Gary Uhde) is developing an area known as the Apollo Business Center located east of Jon Avenue, between the 74th Street alignment and I -35W. Maps showing this area are attached. Within this area; the Blue Heron and Contract Hardware sites have been developed, the H & L Mesabi site plan has been approved for development, and the Twin City Fab (parcel D) and Marmon /Keystone (parcel E) sites have submitted site plans for review. Trunk sanitary sewer and water provided service to this area of the City about 10 years ago. Construction of Apollo Drive through this site was completed in 1992/93. Apollo Drive was constructed through a Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County and was designed to comply with county and State Aid design standards. To accommodate proper design of the storm sewer system, the roadway had to be raised above the surrounding elevations. In order to provide fill to be sold to the Apollo Drive contractor, borrow pits were created in the Apollo Business Center. It was expected these pits would later be utilized as storm water pond sites. In order to modify the location of the excavations, and to provide fill for the proposed building sites on parcels D and E, the developer expects to move in excess of 80,000 cubic yards of material. Section 12.B of the City's Zoning Ordinance states 'When five thousand (5,000) or more cubic yards of material is to be removed or deposited on any lot or parcel, a conditional use permit shall be required ". The proposed grading plan includes fill, excavation, storm sewer construction, and wetland alteration. Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) is the LGU in this part of the City and has the responsibility for reviewing the proposed wetland alterations. The RCWD has reviewed the proposed grading and wetland alteration and authorized permit issuance upon completion of two items. City staff expects these conditions will be satisfied by the applicant. The Environmental Board minutes from May 31, 2000, are also attached for your review. We recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit with the following conditions: 1. A rock construction entrance must be included for erosion control. Location and a detail are needed. 2. The permit must the acquired from the Rice Creek Watershed District. 3. Any grading activity, including any hauling of materials, is restricted to the City's allowed working hours as follows: Monday- Friday 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sundays /Holidays No working hours allowed 4. Provide a schedule, including completion dates, for proposed grading. Interim completion dates can be used for future development sites. 5. A Letter of Credit will be required running to the City equal to 150% of the construction cost. 6. An escrow deposit to reimburse the City for the cost of periodic site visits would be required. 7. Any work in the right -of -way requires approval from Anoka County. OPTIONS: 1. Approve the Conditional Use Permit for Grading with the conditions noted. 2. Approve the Conditional Use Permit with the conditions noted and other conditions. 3. Continue the public hearing. RECOMMENDATION: Option No. 1 • • ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING MAY 31, 2000 • APPROVAL OF AGENDA In consideration of audience members, Asleson requested that Agenda Item 6A be considered following Item 4. The Board agreed. The following items were added to the meeting agenda: 8A. Tree Mitigation Negotiations 8B. Landscape Ordinance 8C. Lighting Ordinance The agenda was approved as amended above.

Because of that, they are proposin grading plan to import soils to bring the elevation up to a higher level. Mr. Johnson stated they would like to begin that process to import soils and also plan to undertake the drainage solutions necessary to serve this property, except for the far western edge. He stated they made application to the City to begin initial stockpiling which can be done up to 5,000 yards per parcel and then applied for a SUP to conduct the necessary grading and to exceed more than 5,000 yards. Mr. Johnson presented the proposed grading plan and explained the elevation changes that would occur. He requested the Environmental Board's review of this preliminary grading plan and to put into place drainage elements. Mr. Johnson reviewed the direction of drainage, existing storm sewer system, and NURP ponds. He stated they are attempting to install a good drainage system and understand staff has some different ideas 2 ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING MAY 31, 2000 which they would like to discuss. Mr. Johnson noted the joint access points and advised of the County's restriction on access points and need to extend the culvert to get beyond the joint driveways. Mr. Johnson stated Mr. Uhde planted clover on the site several years ago and staff has indicated there are now areas of natural vegetation. Donlin requested an explanation of the location of this site in relationship to the proposed automobile site. Asleson pointed out the subject site. Donlin stated there is beautiful prairie bush clover on this site. Gary Uhde, representing G.M. Development, stated he planted the clover on the site. Asleson noted there are other plants . as well on the site. Asleson stated this is a commercial/industrial area. He noted the location of the stockpile and stated there is nothing wrong with this request as long as th- '� Creek Watershed District engineers approve the request.

Asleson sunup. ` - d e outstanding issues are the berm, biodiversity aspects, and the water surface trea ent. Mr. Johnson reviewed the elevations of the site and Apollo Drive and stated he is not sure it is possible to place a pipe under Apollo Drive. Because of that, he is attempting to use what they have and create a pond to take care of what they need. He stated they cannot be the solution for the entire area which he estimated to be several hundred acres in size. Mr. Johnson stated he is willing to consider alternatives, if a feasible one is presented. Acting Chair Lanyon explained that sometimes ponds are designed with steep sides which do not add much to the community so if it is possible to develop a train of ponds to treat and retain water, it would be better. 3 • • • • ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING MAY 31, 2000 Mr. Johnson stated the culvert under Apollo Drive is lower than the culvert under the freeway by several feet and the pond is several feet under that. The outlet will then go to another pond with a submerged outlet that is slightly lower than the elevation of Apollo Drive which will force the water to leave the site at a different rate than exists today. Trehus asked how much water will leave the site. Mr. Johnson stated he has made that calculation but does not have that information available tonight. He estimated 34.5 acres will be incorporated into this plan and drain through a ponding system and out of the site. The rest of the acreage is kept in on -site ponds. Mr. Johnson advised of the Rice Creek Watershed District restriction to not allow a higher run -off rate than exists today. He estimated there will be 60% impervious surface. Donlin asked how rain events would be handled that are similar to what occurred several years ago where there were three back -to -back 100 -year events. hnson reviewed the criteria the ponds can handle and how that criteria is esta Mach asked if staff's concern is the volume of water or al' o '',, r.

He then explained how a larger rain eir intention to address the drainage issues 1 owners to do so. Donlin complimentR. o ' on his past work on these types of projects. Mach asked if :.ere is p 'al for reconstruction of some of the ponds to function to hold the flow eatment. Asleson explained how the ponds have been designed to do b Trehus stated he becomes concerned about any project that places more water into one of the City's lakes. Asleson asked if they can look at the feasibility of placing the pipe under Apollo Drive and possible methods of financing that cost. Acting Chair Lanyon asked if there is a way to have Pond 1 service more acreage to provide additional on -site infiltration, or if additional ponds can be placed. Donlin noted a lot of infiltration will occur since the ponds will have a sand bottom, at least until the pond silts up. Asleson commented on the importance of properly designing these ponds to assure infiltration. ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING MAY 31, 2000 Mr. Johnson commented on the natural water table in this area and impact caused by the construction of the road, deep sanitary sewer, and other projects. He advised that all of the ponds are in nonhydric soils and are dry because of the low water table level. Trehus asked about the suggestion of staff to connect Pond 1 to the other side of Apollo Drive. Mr. Johnson stated Pond 2 is on the south side of Apollo Drive and the proposal is to divert water from the freeway culvert to the west into Pond 2 until it is at an elevation to outflow into the culvert under Apollo Drive. Staff's proposal is to connect Pond 1 with Pond 2 via a pipe under Apollo Drive. Mach asked if there is an opportunity to install a cattail wetland to act as a filter to Marshan Lake. Asleson stated he understands the desire for a vegetated filter strip but he does not think there is an opportunity to do so. Mr. Johnson stated this site is a long way (three - quarters to one mile) upstream from that point and he doe,. irk . ow what is available from Lake Drive to Marshan Lake to provide additi . r i ent. Also, the area is very flat. Mach advised of a different project that successfully .u'F seq. ents via a vegetative filter.

He agreed that vide a better visual buffer a story and a half off the ground than a • Acting Chair Lanyon asked why there is a need to do anything on the berm at this point. Mr. Johnson stated they now have the opportunity to obtain fill material at a lower cost. Because of that, they would like the ability to accept that fill material and stockpile it until it is needed. Acting Chair Lanyon stated that depending on what is built, a berm may be better or a vegetative screen may be better. Until it is known what is being built, that decision can be delayed. 5 • 1 • • ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING MAY 31, 2000 Mr. Uhde stated at the site plan review the Board will have the opportunity to identify acceptable plantings for the user to put into place. However, if the berm is not identified until that point, it would be quite costly to import the soil needed for the berm. Kukonen asked if the residents want a berm. Mr. Uhde stated when the property was rezoned they were told a berm would be put into place. Another neighborhood meeting will be held next Tuesday and the issue will be raised again. Acting Chair Lanyon stated he thinks there will be support for a visual barrier but he would encourage them to consider options other than a berm. Mr. Johnson stated a berm is beneficial at ground level and may be more perceived than real. Mr. Johnson stated he thinks residents will perceive a need for a vertical component that is more than a row of trees.

Kukonen stated he believes the drainage issues have been satisfied but he would support further investigation of staff's proposal for a pipe under Apollo Drive. O'Connell asked if the applicant would object to a Board Member attending the neighborhood meeting next Tuesday to present the option of a vegetative berm. Mr. Johnson stated they would welcome that opportunity. O'Connell stated she will plan to attend that meeting. 6 ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING MAY 31, 2000 Trehus raised the issue of the short-term impact of stockpiling the soil on the site. Asleson stated they already have a storage permit up to 5,000 cubic feet. Mr. Uhde explained the CUP will allow additional storage and relocation of drainage ditch and berm. Donlin expressed concern with the stockpiling of road aggregate and possible leachate into the soil. She urged the developer to not lean heavily toward stockpiling that type of material. Mr. Johnson noted the material will be used under road pavements and parking lots and building pads. He pointed out the proposed stockpile location is centrally located so it will not have to be moved often until it is used. Mr. Johnson stated they already have a stockpiling permit but they are asking to stockpile additional material which will be needed to raise the elevation of the lots to match the criteria established by the County. Davidson moved to require a buffer on the west side of the proje woodland buffer is to be presented to the residents, to reco vegetative buffer rather than a berm for environmental an staff to research the feasibility of connecting.

Asleson stated that is correct and data on rare and endangered species will also be identified. Donlin advised that a site along Elmcrest was viewed and an area with a beautiful wetland was found which contained three pairs of yellow- headed blackbirds. She stated this project is very exciting and she finds it to be a "golden opportunity" to fill in the missing pieces. 7 • tiron"rr- r.- MGNI■OFWAY -PrAr NO 00 ,UII- lHIEH -- 1I� �.o:= /% �1•• -• • • �, X- NIINFOF M PLN NYNKN -!! o 1115 Imo.

D Jeff Smyser August 9, 2000 Site & Building Plan Review PUBLIC HEARING (cont.): Conditional Use Permit Twin City Fab, Inc., 295 Apollo Drive The application includes a site plan and conditional use permit for a metal fabricating business in the private Apollo Business Center. Some outdoor storage on a limited basis will be needed, which requires a conditional use permit. The P & Z considered the project at the July 12 meeting and continued the public hearing for the CUP. The applicant submitted a revised grading and utility plan. This review is based on the following plan submittals: Site Plan Floor Plan Elevations Grading, Utility, and Erosion Control Plan Photometric lighting plan and fixture diagram Landscaping Plan ANALYSIS 6/27/00 6/27/00 6/27/00 7/21/00 6/28/00 7/7/00 The submittal complies with the LI Light Industrial zoning standards as follows: Required Proposed Lot size minimum 1 acre 4 acres Lot width minimum 100 ft 307 ft Setbacks: buildings from street rear lot line side lot line parking from street rear lot line side lot line 50 ft 30 ft 10 ft 15 ft 5 ft 5 ft 85 ft 300 ft 10 ft 15 ft 400 ft 10 ft Bldg. height 45 ft 21 ft Green space 10% >10% Twin City Fab, Inc. August 9, 2000 page 2 • Building The building footprint is approximately 19,200 sf, roughly 160' x 120'. The building will be 21' high except in the back (north side), where the ground elevation will be lower by seven feet to provide for loading three docks. Precast concrete panels will form the exterior walls. Most of the building will be fabricating/warehouse space. Offices in the southwest portion will comprise about 2040 sf. The trash area will be attached to the back of the building and enclosed by concrete block walls and prefinished metal panel gates. The two areas noted as "future expansion" are not part of this review. Any additions to the building will require a new site plan review and, possibly, an amendment to the storage CUP. • Lighting Light fixture locations are shown on submitted plans as shoebox fixtures on the building walls. The submitted photometric plan showing site lighting intensity indicates that the project complies with the maximum of one foot candle at the street centerline. The shoebox fixtures will ensure lighting is directed downward and not up into the night sky. • Signage The only signage shown on the submittals is on the front facade. Signage is govemed by the City's sign ordinance and permits are required for all signs. All signs will be reviewed with the sign permit applications. • Landscaping TC Fab and Marmon Keystone to the west are coordinating their landscape plans. The landscaping plan includes native and non - native plantings, plowing of compacted soils before seeding, and other elements in accordance with the environmental management plan. The Environmental Specialist's memo is attached. • Utilities Sanitary sewer and water service exist on the north edge of the site. This site will connect to the existing facilities. (The City vacated the 74th St. right of way on May 22 but retained a drainage and utility easement.) Stormwater management on this site includes a pond shared by the property on the west. This common pond will serve both sites. Some of the stormwater facilities on the Twin City Fab site will be constructed by Twin City Fab's contractor, while some will be constructed by the current land owner as part of the ponding for the neighboring site and land to the west of that. This requires coordination of design and construction. • • • • Twin City Fab, Inc. August 9, 2000 page 3 We note that the storage area is not delineated on the grading plan. The area would have a finished slope of approximately 10% according to the grading plan. This should be corrected on a final plan. The City Engineer's comments address these issues further. • Parking For light manufacturing, our code requires at least one parking spaces per 2000 sf of gross floor area or one space per employee, whichever is greater. Currently, TC Fab has 12 full time employees and 5 part time. The office area requires 3 spaces plus one space per 200 sf. For the purposes of calculating parking spaces, the ordinance requirement is to use 90% of the gross building area. The total requirement is 29 parking spaces. The plan shows 29, with an area provided for 9 more if additional employees are added. Even if 100% of the office area were used, it would add only one parking space, and the proof of parking accommodates that. The revised grading and utility plan submitted July 21 shows 28 parking stalls though the site plan shows 29. We consider the site plan as the accurate document on parking stalls. • Roads, Access, Circulation Passenger vehicles will use the parking in the front of the building. Trucks will proceed to the back of the building to the loading docks. Curb and gutter will surround the parking area. The applicant wishes to forego curbs around the back of the paved truck loading and drive area behind the building. The applicant has not presented a justification for this. The City Engineer recommends curb around the entire paved drive area. A shared driveway provides access to the site. The driveway will be shared by TC Fab and the Marmon Keystone site on the west. The driveway is consistent with the joint powers agreement with Anoka County that covers the number and type of accesses on Apollo Drive. A shared driveway agreement between the two sites will be necessary and staff is recommending that one be submitted for City review as a condition of approval. gross area 90% code requirement required spaces total footprint 19,200 sf office 2,040 sf 1836 3 plus one space per 200 sf 12 mfg/warehouse 17,160 sf 15,444 2000 4 17 one space per sf or one per employee TOTAL 29 The total requirement is 29 parking spaces.

The driveway is consistent with the joint powers agreement with Anoka County that covers the number and type of accesses on Apollo Drive. A shared driveway agreement between the two sites will be necessary and staff is recommending that one be submitted for City review as a condition of approval. Twin City Fab, Inc. August 9, 2000 page 4 In reviewing shared driveways, we must consider potential traffic conflicts in the driveway itself. Vehicles leaving the sites come from two directions and mix in the driveway before exiting onto Apollo. For example, a car leaving the TC Fab parking area to go west on Apollo crosses the path of a car leaving the other site and going east on Apollo. The potential problem is reduced as the mixing point is moved farther back from Apollo. Numerous site factors influence the location of the parking drive: the location of the pond in the rear of the site, the area needed for trucks, the resulting building location, and the needed parking. The applicants have moved the parking drive as far back as possible given the constraints. Moving it farther would reduce the ability to expand the building to accommodate growth in the business. • Park Dedication Park dedication will be subject to the City policy of $133 per 1000 sf of commercial building. For TC Fab, with 19,200 sf, the dedication would be $2554. • Outdoor Storage Conditional Use Permit Outdoor storage is allowed as a conditional use in the LI zone per Ordinance 02 -00, adopted this past February. Two sets of findings must be made. Findings for All Conditional Use Permits: As stated in Sec. 2 Subd. 2.B.7., the Planning and Zoning Board shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall order the issuance of such permit only if it can make findings that the proposed use at the proposed location: a. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. b. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific plans and policies of the comprehensive plan of the City and this ordinance. c. Will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing and/or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. d. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. e. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. f. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. g. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which are so designed as not to create traffic congestion or an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares. • • • • • • Twin City Fab, Inc. August 9, 2000 page 5 h. Will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. i. Will conform to specific standards of this ordinance applicable to the particular use. Findings Specific to Outdoor Storage: In addition to those findings, Ordinance 02 -00 (amending Section 8, Subd. I.1) states that outdoor storage in the LI zone must meet the following criteria: a. The storage area is landscaped and screened from view of neighboring uses, residential zoning districts and public rights -of -way per Sec. 3, Subd. 4.S of the Zoning Ordinance. The storage area shall be screened 100% from residential properties. b. Storage area is fenced in a manner approved by the City. c. Storage area is blacktopped or concrete surfaced unless specifically approved by the City Council. d. All lighting shall be in compliance with Section 3, Subd. 4.H. of this Ordinance or other lighting standards in place at the time of project approval. e. The storage area does not take up parking space or loading space as required for conformity to this Ordinance and not in front yards. f. The property shall not abut property zoned for residential, rural, or business use, including land in a neighboring city. "Abutting" includes across a street. "Abutting" does not include properties that touch only corner -to- corner. g. The property shall not abut I -3 5 W or I -3 5E. h. The storage area shall not abut a school or a public park. i.

The designs submitted reflect the concerns of the Environmental Board. These concerns include the use of native grasses and forbs as surface water buffers and the integration/and the restoration of natural systems that once thrived here. The design of Twin City Fab extended the landscape design ideas presented in H & L Messabi. The landscape designs of Twin City Fab and Marmon Keystone have been tied together in common materials and theme. From this perspective, the Landscape Designs of Twin City Fab and Marmon Keystone are appropriate. • 141- '/ Memorandum To: Brian Wessel CC: Mary Kay Wyland, Jeff Smyser, John Powell, Mary Alice Divine From: Marty Asleson Date: 06/29/00 Re: Environmental Board Recommendations /Apollo Business District The following recommendations were made at the June 28 Environmental Board Meeting: Marmon Keystone Nth Ne Z, g, 'Zrd • All recommendations in staff report.

I.1) states that outdoor storage in the LI zone must meet the following criteria: a. The storage area is landscaped and screened from view of neighboring uses, residential zoning districts and public rights -of -way per Sec. 3, Subd. 4.S of the Zoning Ordinance. The storage area shall be screened 100% from residential properties. b. Storage area is fenced in a manner approved by the City. c. Storage area is blacktopped or concrete surfaced unless specifically approved by the City Council. d. All lighting shall be in compliance with Section 3, Subd. 4.H. of this Ordinance or other lighting standards in place at the time of project approval. e. The storage area does not take up parking space or loading space as required for conformity to this Ordinance and not in front yards. f. The property shall not abut property zoned for residential, rural, or business use, including land in a neighboring city. "Abutting" includes across a street. "Abutting" does not include properties that touch only corner -to- corner. g. The property shall not abut I -35W or I -35E. h. The storage area shall not abut a school or a public park. i. The ratio of storage area to building footprint shall not exceed 3.5:1. j. Storage shall not include material considered hazardous under Federal or State Environmental Law. The site complies with the locational restrictions. The storage area will be fenced with 8' chain link, and screened with ivy on the fence and other landscaping. The storage area will be class 5 aggregate rather than paved. Staff recommends this is appropriate. The ordinance would allow the storage area to be up to 3.5 x 83,050 sf, or 290,675 sf. The shown area is much smaller, approximately 20,000 sf. With the conditions recommended below, all necessary findings will apply to the project. ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD ACTION The Environmental Board reviewed the project on June 28. That Board did not have a complete landscape plan to review. Nonetheless, it made several recommendations, which are attached to this report. A complete landscape plan was submitted and the Environmental Specialist has endorsed it (see attached memo). It includes native and non -native planting as well as treatment of compacted soils. We have reviewed a lighting plan. Coordination by neighboring properties for landscaping was accomplished.

At the May Environmental Board Meeting, the Environmental Board reviewed and made recommendations on the over all site grading, and global landscape issues. The site for Marmon Keystone shows a building, parking lot, on -site water storage, and a proposed future storage area. The proposed storage area is not needed at this time, and the storage area is being shown for possible future needs. A landscape plan has not been submitted in time for the packet. I have included the infiltration checklist and calculations for infiltration rates. Water from the building appears to be directed to depressional areas and pond 3. Water from the parking lot appears to be directed to depressional area on the East Side of the building. OPTIONS: 1 Provide a more detailed landscape plan, providing for plant materials appropriate to the site for both native and non - native landscape areas. All non - native area should show irrigation. 2. Provide for a site soils management and reconstruction plan. This plan should include measures to reconstruct landscape soils to an un- compacted state after construction. This plan should also show soil organic amendment incorporated into any sub -soil reconstruction process. 3. Move the proposed future storage area to the West and provide a buffer planting between the storage area and pond 3. Eliminate treated wood to stockpile materials on.

F STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: August 9, 2000 TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING (continued) Town Center Development Standards BACKGROUND We opened the public hearing on the new standards at the April P & Z meeting. We have kept it open to allow extensive discussion and public input. No additional developers have expressed an interest in presenting information. The Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) met on August 3 for further discussion of the proposed standards and voted on a recommendation. Staff has made some changes to the commercial uses section of the draft document to address concerns expressed by a number of people that the standards are too restrictive. Those changes are summarized on the attached sheet and included in full in the "Staff Revisions 8/3/00 ". The changes also include a few new items, such as screening of trash and landscaping of parking lot islands. Some verbal clarifications also were made. We have not yet begun the formal process for amending the zoning ordinance and rezoning the Town Center area. The current public hearing and discussion has been for educational purposes: to educate the public about the City's intent to create the new zoning district and standards, and to educate City staff and officials on what developers, land owners, and others think about the draft standards. The City has applied for additional grant money from the Metropolitan Council under the Livable Communities program. We received $225,000 in 1998 to plan our Town Center. Now we are applying for additional money to help implement the plan. The Met Council has let us know that the development standards are important to show the City is serious about implementing the mixed use, compact development plan. While we have yet to process the formal zoning amendment that is needed to officially adopt any new zoning district or standards, we need to show substantial progress. Staff recommends a vote of support for the standards to forward to the City Council. The City Council then will consider a similar vote. EDAC voted to adopt the following statement: Endorse the Town Center standards as recommended by staff with the understanding that the City may revise specific requirements in the standards. (The signage standards (section 3.8) will be temporarily pulled from the standards for further review.) Revisions would occur as part of the process for amending the City's zoning ordinance to include standards for a new Town Center zoning district. • • • Town Center Standards August 9, 2000 page 2 Staff recommends closing the public hearing and a P & Z vote to approve the above statement of endorsement.

This eliminates the need for a variance if a development plan does not conform to the Master Plan. 10 14 Minimum percentages of coverage along build -to -lines were reduced to 50 and 70 percent from 50 and 80 percent. 11 -12, 19 15, 23 The requirement for towers in designated locations was removed. 15 19 Temporary uses were changed from permitted use to conditional use. Also allow more flexibility for seasonal markets. 16 20 Removed section regarding the need for an amendment since specific land use boundaries were eliminated. 19 Pg. 15: 20 24 Removed the requirement that 50% of the area of the street facing facade must be windows. 20 24 The linear maximum for a blank wall without a visual break was changed from 30 feet to 50 feet. 22 26 Added vinyl siding as a prohibited material. 23 27 Removed example pictures of regional architectural styles. 23 27 Changed wording in the Energy Conservation section from required to suggested. 24 28 Removed the requirement for walls between residential and non- residential uses. Lowered maximum height of wall from 42" to 36 ". 24 28 Added requirements for screening of trash dumpsters and mechanical/electrical boxes. 25 29 Increased minimum restaurant parking from 8/1,000 sf to 10 /1,000 sf 27 31 The intent is to replace this diagram with one that shows tree groupings within the parking lot rather than one tree per square. 28 32 The information regarding segmenting the parking lot with landscaping every 300 stalls was moved to a separate section. 29 33 The requirement was lowered from one tree per six stalls to one per ten and ; tree guards left more flexible. 30 34 The parking structure maximum height was changed from 35 to 45 feet because 35 feet would only allow one level over ground floor parking for retail. 30 34 Bicycle parking was changed from 1 space /2,000 sf of net floor area to 1 space /10,000 sf of gross floor area 33 37 Ensure parking lot islands have adequate landscaping. 35 39 Walkway lighting not needed along buildings that are lit. • Lino Lakes Town Center Design & Development Guide Lino Lakes, Minnesota / -3/6 Calthorpe Associates May, 2000 DRAFT Table of Contents CHAPTER 1.

INTRODUCTION 1.1. PURPOSE The purpose of the Lino Lakes Town Center District is to provide for the orderly and integrated development of a high - quality Town Center which includes a mix of shops, offices, entertainment, housing, recreation, community facilities, and open space. The Town Center is intended to offer citizens a place to enjoy an active street life, community activities, and small town downtown qualities. The Town Center standards are the regulating zoning standards for the Town Center District. Other standards in the zoning ordinance or other regulatory controls notwithstanding, where there is conflict between the Town Center standards and specific elements of the other City ordinances or regulations, the Town Center standards shall prevail. Where there is no conflict and when the Town Center standards do not address a specific instance, other City standards shall apply. In the Design and Development Guide the words "shall" or "must" specifies mandatory requirements. The word "should" is suggestive and describes what is preferred. 1.2. CONTEXT The Lino Lakes Town Center site is situated near the northeastern edge of the Twin Cities' rapid urbanization area. As a "gateway" to the region and a crossroads of both the urban and rural, the Town Center area gains its identity from rural lands, while looking toward regional job centers for its citizens' livelihood. The Development Standards seek to combine the best aspects of a small town downtown with strong visual and ecological connections to the natural environment. Within Lino Lakes, the Town Center will meet a long - sought desire to create a true center for this maturing community. With good regional access and visibility, the Town Center's location at the Lake Drive and Interstate 35W interchange can harness the market forces needed to create a true downtown, one in which a range of retail, entertainment and cultural needs can be met. See Figure 1, the Context Map. Interchange improvements are planned. Abutting the Town Center, Lake Drive will be a 5- lane highway and narrow quickly to its existing rural highway cross- section. One significant feature of the interchange will be a new ingress point into the southern Town Center area directly from the I -35W northeast -bound off-ramp. This ingress point is vital to the commercial success, and therefore the ultimate vitality, of the Town Center. Pedestrian connections to the Town Center will extend from surrounding uses, including office and commercial uses west of Lake Drive, residential neighborhoods to the south and north, and the Rice Creek Chain -of -Lakes Regional Park Preserve. 1.3. PROJECT' DESCRIPTION & DESIGN CONCEPTS These Development Standards provide for the orderly and integrated development of a high - quality Town Center for Lino Lakes, near the junction of Lake Drive and Interstate 35W. The Town Center represents an opportunity to create a place with an active street life and a vibrant and recognizable heart for the Lino Lakes. The Town Center will be a place for citizens to engage in community life and enjoy the small town qualities that make Lino Lakes unique. A mix of shops, offices, entertainment, housing, recreation and community facilities will be brought together to create a preeminent place. Throughout the Town Center, development will emphasize comfortable walking environments. As with classic American towns, tree - lined streets and buildings sited at the sidewalk with frequent entries and windows will create an interesting pedestrian environment. Although most buildings face directly onto streets, major anchor stores can face parking lots, but must be accessible on foot. Figure 2, the Illustrative Plan, shows a vision for the Town Center. This is, as the name suggests, only an illustration of how development could be structured; other configurations are possible as long as they comply with the Land Use and Regulating plans discussed in Chapter 2. Community parks and other attractive gathering spots also play a special role. South of the Interstate, a village green will be a focal point for Lino Lakes, and will be framed by retail shops, a hotel with a restaurant, and a community recreation building. The village green is alse holds potential for a terminus for regional express bus service. A linear park extends north from the village green to a major retail or entertainment destination. North of the Interstate, pedestrian- friendly "main streets" with street - facing shops end in a "grand plaza." Both north and south of the Interstate, the addition of housing to the mix of land uses will ensure that the Town Center sees around- the -clock activity and vitality. Housing also offers important opportunities for seniors and other citizens, who may value locations where conveniences are close at hand and a car is not necessary. The Town Center also affords a unique choice for residents who chose to work from their homes, but want to be a part of and near a "downtown" and have access to commercial services. The Town Center abuts the Chain -of -Lakes Regional Park, offeringunparalleled opportunities for wilderness within blocks of homes and businesses. Within the Town Center, the region's natural and scenic qualities shall be preserved and emulated. Naturalized drainage swales will extend into the village green, other community open spaces, and even parking lots. Building and landscape materials will also convey a regional "sense -of- place." In Chapter 5, Figure 6, the Parks and Open Space Plan shows the framework of parks, open space, wetlands, swales, and other natural features. The location of many of these features is not fixed, but will vary depending on where buildings, parking lots, and other development occurs. The locations shown in Figure 3 correspond to the example shown in the Illustrative Plan, Figure 2. 8 • • • • 1.4. ORGANIZATION The Design and Development Standards are organized by the following categories. Mixed Use Districts Allow a range of retail, office, and other commercial uses, within an environment that is highly oriented to the pedestrian. Upper -story residential uses are also permitted. Highway Commercial Districts Allow uses that are more auto - oriented, such as fast -food restaurants and auto services. Civic Districts Allow community facilities such as libraries, City Hall, senior housing, day care, and community recreation such as YMCAs. Residential Districts Housing. Allow a variety of housing types, as long as parameters for density, design and common open space are met Ground Floor Retail or Office Space. In certain areas, ground floor retail or office space is also encouraged, to enliven streets adjacent to parks and provide transition zones between Residential Districts and other Districts. Commons. A minimum area of Publicly- Accessible Commons (parks or other community recreation areas) is also required in each Residential District the location and design are flexible. Public Improvements Guidelines for public facilities, including streets, street trees, street lighting, infrastructure, and site planning are provided in Chapter 5. Streets are conceived as part of the "public realm," to accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, and automobiles, rather than serving simply as automobile. travelways. Generous sidewalks, on- street parking, frequent street trees, and integrated street furnishings contribute to the pedestrian - oriented quality of the streets. Open Space Districts Open Space Districts include Parks and Natural Resource Areas. They create a hierarchy of open space within the project area, ranging from formal parks or greens to undisturbed landscape and habitat areas. Further discussion and schematic design for parks are in Chapter 5, in the section on Open Space Districts: Parks and Natural &source Areas. Parks. Linear parks are planned in the median of the major streets south of I -35W in the Town Center. Another small park occurs in the center of the traffic circle in this area. A larger, triangular park is planned adjacent to Mixed -Use Districts. Natural Resource Areas. Natural Resource Areas are valuable habitat areas such as forests, heaths, and meadows which will be protected in their natural state to safeguard ecological processes and wildlife. They form a greenbelt of native landscape around the perimeter of the site, with "fingers" of naturalized drainages extending into the Town Center area. 1.5. GOALS These Development Standards support the following goals: Economic Development • Create a setting that supports the long-term viability of the Town Center. Optimize job growth, residential opportuniites, and tax revenue for the City ofLino Lakes through the creation of an integrated and balanced project. Land Use • Concentrate development at intensities that bringwithin walking distance the diverse activities that comprise an active downtown or town center. • Provide a complementary mix oflanduses, including retail, entertainment, civic facilities, employ- ment, housing, and community open space. • Integrate community - serving open spaces and amenities throughout the Town Center, and make connections to the Chain -of -J akPs Regional Park. • Encourage diverse housing opportunities within the Town Center. Community Design & Architecture • Site and design buildings and landscaping for convenient walking distances, enhanced pedestrian routes, and human comfort and safety. • Avoid pedestrian routes dominated by parking lots or blank walls. • Respect the site's valuable natural features, includingits hardwood woodlands and wetlands. • Encourage architectural diversity. Emulate Minnesota's architectural traditions and scenic beauty. • Encourage energy conservation through architectural features, such as shading devices, natural ventilation, and interior daylighting • Maintain high standards of quality in the construction of building and site features. • Respect adjacent residential neighborhoods and emphasize compatibility through design. Infrastructure • Provide streets that create comfortable walking environments while also allowing safe vehicular movement • Establish a network of interconnected local streets throughout the Town Center and extend pe- destrian connections to surrounding areas. • Generate less automobile traffic than development with segregated land uses by bundling comple- mentary destinations within a walkable district, and by encouraging transit use. • Make new information technologies part of the Town Center's infrastructure and encourage its integration within civic and private uses. • Utilize naturalized, low -cost solutions for drainage throughout the area and avoid "concrete, iron and steel" solutions. Administration • Strive for the timely and orderly implementation of the Town Center through clear, concise stan- dards. • Establish standards that are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. • Continue to address community concerns as expressed through letters, public comments, and workshops. 10 • • • • , • • • • • • • .• • , r -.(.; • t • / A: • " • t• . 1.

GOVERNING PLANS Development in the Town Center is governed by the Land Use and Regulating Plans, described below, as well as by the standards in the following chapters. 2.1. THE LAND USE PLAN Figure 3, the Land Use Plan, spells out the basic arrangement and extent of activities within the Town Center. The land uses shown in the Land Use Plan correspond to the Mixed -Use, Highway Commercial, and Civic Districts, which have one set of design and development standards; and the Residential Districts, which have another set of design and development standards. The boundaries shown on the Land Use Plan for the Natural Resource Areas are approximate. As long as development conforms to the regulating plan. boundaries and may change based on detailed site analysis and for the protection of wetlands, mature trees stands, prairie and other environmental assets. The Land Use Plan shows Residential Districts. However, residences may also be built as upper -story housing over ground -floor retail or office in the Mixed -Use Districts, as long as the minimum number of units is built both north and south of the Interstate in the Town Center. The minimum and maximum numbers of residential units for each side of I -35W are shown in Table 6 in the chapter on Residential District Design and Development Standards. 2.2. THE REGULATING PLAN Figure 4 , the "Regulating Plan," specifies essential physical features for the Town Center area, including required streets, `Build -to Lines," building entrances, gateways, landmark tewers and landscaped frontages. Required Streets A minimum framework of required streets is required as shown in Figure 4, the Regulating Plan. Other streets, depicted in the Illustrative Plan (Figure 2), are optional. The design of streets must conform with the standards set forth in Chapter 5, Public Improvement Standards, and with the hierarchy of streets shown in Figure 5, Required Street Hierarchy. Plan. Parking lot drive aisles are not considered streets. 13 Build -to Lines Build -to Lines define locations where buildings must be built within a certain distance of the public right -of -way. Bringing building fronts dose to the edge of streets enhances the continuity, attractiveness and intimacy of pedestrian spaces. The build -to line defines a location at which 1) a certain minimum percentage of the block length must contain buildings, and 2) those buildings must be built within a maximum distance from the sidewalk right-of-way. The Regulating Plan shows the location of Build -to Lines, which require either 50 or 89 20 percent of the block to have buildings, parks, or plazas. Specific regulations for Build -to Lines are: • Build -to Lines occur at the edge of the dedicated right -of -way, where private property meets a publicly- accessible street or path. • For each block, a minimum percentage (50 or 80 70 percent) of the linear length of the build -to line must have a building front, park, or plaza, as specified on Figure 4, the Regulating Plan. The minimum build -to requirement is measured as a percent of each "block." A block is defined as a continuous street segment, delimited by two cross streets (not driveways) or where the road- way makes a significant change in direction. If a non - required street is added and bisects a build -to line, the build -to requirements govern each separate seg- ment. • To contribute towards meeting the build -to require- ment, building facades must be sited within 0 to 5 feet set back no more than 5 feet from e€ the public right of way. • Parks or plazas may be used to satisfy up to 20 per- cent of the build -to requirement, and must be land- scaped with shade trees and furnished with seating areas. (In other words, 20 percent of the 50 or 80 M percent requirement may be parks or plazas. For ex- ample, for 44 80 20 percent build -to requirement along a 500 -foot long block, 490 350 feet (80 20_ percent of 500 feet) would have to have buildings, parks, or pla- zas, and the parks or plazas could not constitute more than 80 M feet of frontage (20 percent of 490 350 feet). • Parking lots, driveways, loading zones, and other ve- hicular areas do not count towards the minimum build - to requirement. Such areas, with the exception of 14 4/4/ E- r 140' 14 r 1 • L 1 400' 4. 200' J, Building Frontage.

Landscaped frontages will also screen views of parking lots and loading areas, and will help establish a unique project identity Required - Building Entries The Regulating Plan shows locations where major building entries must be provided to create important pedestrian and visual connections. These entries are located at important corners or intersections, typically where a large anchor store would locate, where pedestrian and automobile activity is high, or where buildings face onto public parks. Placing entries at these locations helps ensure that the buildings relate to the street and that pedestrians have a direct route of entry to the buildings. Pedestrians passing through these entries establish a "critical mass" of activity at major comers and near parks. Although building tenants typically will also need an entry from the rear parking lot, they are prohibited from closing off or locking up the street - facing entry to simplify their security and layout needs.

MIXED -USE, HIGHWAY, & CIVIC DISTRICT STANDARDS 3.1. ALLOWABLE USES Table 1 indicates allowable land uses, both permitted (P) and conditional (C), in each of the land use Districts designated on the Land Use Plan. Conditional uses are expected to meet special requirements in their design or on -going operation. The Mixed -Use and Civic Districts preclude uses that would likely detract from their compact and pedestrian-friendly character. In Mixed -Use Districts, community- and neighborhood- serving retail stores (such as full- service grocery, drug and hardware stores), entertainment uses, restaurants, and specialty shops are preferred. Upper -story housing is also allowed in Mixed -Use Districts over retail or office, and is subject to the standards for the Is/fixed-Use Districts, rather than the standards for the Residential Districts. The Highway Commercial District permits uses that are less pedestrian- oriented and cater more to the car. Mixed -Use Districts.

DEVELOPMENT INTENSITY Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Minimum and maximum Floor Area Ratios for each of the Non - Residential Districts are shown in Table 2. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is a measure of development intensity, measured on a parcel -by- parcel basis, and is the ratio of habitable floor area to lot or parcel area: Habitable Door area is the space contained within the exterior walls of all buildings on a lot, except for the space therein in light courts or open air courtyards and except for the area on the ground floor in the main building devoted exclusively to parking motor vehicles or the portion of the area in an accessory building used for parking motor vehicles. Although residential and commercial parking garages and accessory units do not contribute to meeting the FAR requirement, the floor areas of any residences built in Non - Residential Districts shall be included in calculating FARs. Lot or parcel area excludes protected sensitive land such as wetlands and forests. In other words, if a 2 -acre parcel includes 1 acre of wetlands, and the FAR is 1.0, the (1 *43560) square feet of development may be built, and may be structured on the non - sensitive 46 one acre of the site. Table 2. Floor Area Ratio Requir Location Minimum FAR Maximum FAR Mixed -Use Districts 0.35 1.00 Highway Commercial Districts 0.25 1.00 Civic Districts 0.35 1.00 FAR. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is a measure of development intensity that is the ratio of built area to site area. FAR can be satisfied in many configuration For example, an E9R of 1.0 may be satisfied with a one-story building covering the lot, or a two-story building of ball the fooqlrint. These diagrams are schematic only and do not reflect other regulations such as setback. entries, and windows. Development at the maximum FAR would likely require structured parking, although structured parking garages do not count toward the FAR calculation. At the minimum level of development, a compact, pedestrian - friendly setting can be created with the use of surface parking Residential Uses Placement. Residential uses are permitted above commercial uses. Except for entry lobbies, residential uses shall not occur on the ground floor of buildings in Mixed -Use Districts. Density. In Mixed -Use Districts, residential densities shall not exceed 30 dwellings per net acre. No minimum density shall apply, unless the extent of Mixed -Use Districts is extended to include areas designated as Residential Districts within this document. • • • • • 3.3. BUILDING MASSING & PLACEMENT Building Orientation and Setbacks Front Setbacks Along Build -to Lines. Where the Build -to Lines are shown on the Regulating Plan (Figure 4), buildings shall be sited at or within five feet of (and facing) a street or plaza and shall occupy a minimum percentage of each block's linear street frontage (at least 50 percent or 80 2Q percent, as noted in the Regulating Plan).

Multiple curb cuts are prohibited ( right); only one curb cut is allowed per building, not to exceed 14 feet in width (left). Additional vehicle entries are acceptable f vm rearparking lots entrances on non pedestrian oriented streets (left). Drive - through windows shall be located to the side or or rear of the building. Other, more "standard" drive - through configurations are acceptable in Highway Commercial Districts 21 Where Build to Lines do not Govern. For locations where there are no Build -to Lines, buildings must be sited in one of the two following ways: • Within the minimum and maximum setbacks from a street as shown in Table 3, or • Set farther back from the street, but with their primary entrances connected to the street with a landscaped walkway. Landscaped walkways are discussed in the section on Land- scape Requirements, below. While it is recommended that front facades and entries face towards streets, side -on orientations are acceptable if the side elevation is within 20 feet of a street right -of -way and windows and entrances constitute at least 30 percent of the facade length.

ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS Fagade Transparency The following guidelines help strengthen the relationship between buildings and the street and increase public safety by placing "eyes" and activity on the street. Street - Facing Facades along Build -to Lines or within Street Setbacks For buildings which contribute to frontage along Build -to Lines, or that are within the setbacks shown in Table 3: • Street - facing building facades shall not have a section of blank wall exceeding 30 linear feet without being interrupted by a window or entry. • At least 60 percent of the linearlength of street - facing facades must contain windows doors, or arcades at all levels (stories). Clerestory windows or other high, non - eye -level windows do not count towards the 60 percent requirement. • Along Build -to Lines, the ground floor of parking structures must contain shops or other inhabitable spaces. (See Parking Structures in Section 3.5.) • Garage doors or entrances to parking structures shall not occupy more than 30 feet of street - facing facades within each block. Facades not along Build -to Lines or within Street Setbacks from Table 3: For buildings that do not contribute to frontage along Build -to Lines or which are not within the setbacks shown in Table 3: • The primary building entry and windows shall be visible from a street(s). • The main entrance(s) shall open directly onto a publicly - accessible Connecting Walkway. This walkway shall connect directly to the sidewalk or pedestrian walkway of an adjacent street • Building facades that are visible from the street shall not have a section of blank wall exceeding 38 511 linear feet without being interrupted by a window, entry, a section of lattice with vines, or another visual break. See the discussion on Connecting Walkways for further guid- ance. Building Entries and Windows Entries Building mas sing shall be used to highlight the location of building entries. Primary pedestrian entries shall be clearly expressed and be recessed or framed by a sheltering element such as an awning, arcade, porch, or portico. Greater height may be used to accentuate entries in the form of tower elements, tall openings, or a central mass at an entry plaza. Reveals. Windows and doors must be recessed at least two inches from walls or exterior trim to create shadow for visual interest. 24 it �.c�..c\,i Irs Transparency. Buildings shall have frequent doors and windows. • Building Scale and Definition The guidelines in this section are intended to create buildings with a human scale, making the Town Center more pedestrian - friendly and a pleasant place to walk. Structural Legibility and Articulation Facade articulation is required. Building fenestration (windows and doors) and changes in mass shall relate to structural systems) and the organization of interior space. Vertical architectural features such as columns and piers help articulate building mass. Base and Top Treatments Unless an exceptional quality of design and materials is demonstrated, building facades must have three recognizable elements: a base, middle, and top. Base. The design of the base shall visually support the building The base must be 1 to 4 feet in height and must be defined by (but not limited to) one or more features such as: • Thicker walls • Richly textured materials (e.g tile or masonry treatments) • Special materials such as ceramic tile, stucco, granite and marble Top. The top shall create an attractive profile for the building and must be defined by (but not limited to) one or more features such as: • Cornice treatments • Roof overhangs with brackets • Stepped parapets • Richly textured materials (e.g tile or Screening. Rooftop equipment shall be screened from the line masonry treatments) of sight of pedestrians and integrated into the design and massing of the roof form. Roof Form /Rooftop Equipment A variety of roof forms are permitted. Changes in roof form must correspond with a building's structural bays and massing Mechanical equipment must be integrated into the overall mass of a building and screened behind parapets or recessed into hips, gables, parapets or similar features. Plain equipment boxes are not acceptable. Massing. Along build -to lines, building massing shall vary and help highlight entries. `Big Box" Buildings. .Even amey from build-to lines, the entries to large, bog buildings shall be defined through building massing, landscaping, or architectural features such ar trellises. 25 Materials and Methods of Construction Buildings shall support regional traditions and maintain a level of craft in the process of construction. Wood, masonry, and stone are appropriate building materials. Consistency. Exterior materials and finishes shall convey a sense of integrity and durability. Building must incorporate consistent, pedestrian -scale textures and details on all sides that are visible from public streets and pedestrian pathways. Glass. Clear glass must be used for windows and doors; mirrored glass is prohibited. Glass curtain walls are discouraged. Simulated Materials. Materials that are visibly simulated or prefabricated are prohibited. Vinyl sing and scored plywood (such as `°T 1 -11") is prohibited. Proper Application and Detailing. Materials must be properly applied and correctly, detailed, especially at the base of buildings, along cornices, eaves, parapets or ridge tops, and around entries and windows. Material changes must not occur at external corners, but may occur at "reverse" or interior corners or as a "return" at least four feet from external corners. Proper Application and Detailing. Material changes shall occur at interior or revers corners (a), or as a "return" of at least fourfeetfrvm exterior corners (6). Material changes shall not occur at external corners (c). Prohibited Preferred Consistent Application on Facades. All sides of buildings that fax street. parks, or other pedestrian- oriented areas shall have the same level of architectural detail and fenestration (windows). Entries at corners should address both sides 26 • Energy Conservation and Climatic Response The effects of the Minnesota climate can be mitigated through intelligent building design, configuration, and landscape treatments. The following approach will also foster a regional "sense of place." Daylighting. Daylighting techniques minimize the need for electric lighting and can reduce peak - hour energy consumption by as much as 20 percent. While windows are the most common form of daylighting, light from windows rarely penetrates more than about 20 feet. Additional daylighting can be obtained with clerestories, lightshelves, and skylights. Ventilation and Thermal Mass. To lessen dependence on air conditioning, natural cross ventilation shall should be maximized. Operable windows, transoms, doors, and vents shall be located are preferred to facilitate airflow across a space. These openings are especially useful on sides facing toward and opposite prevailing winds. Passive Heating and Cooling. Site and building design shall should consider passive heating and cooling strategies such as deciduous tree plantings that provide shade in the summer and sun in the winter. Heat - retaining thermal mass (such as concrete or brick) designed into building walls or columns absorbs heat during the day and radiates heat at night. Building design that shades openings reduces direct heat gain during the day. Shading elements can also add dimensionality to building facades. Eaves or awnings can be sized to shade windows in the summer but admit sun in the winter when the sun is lower in the sky. Pedestrian Shelter. Building exteriors shall provide pedestrians shelter from the sun, rain, and snow. Awnings, entry porticos, arcades, and overhanging eaves are particularly appropriate at pedestrian pathways. Garden structures such as trellises and arbors (with or without vines) shall be used to shade pedestrian routes and seating areas. Climatic Response. Building design should incorporate elements to provide shekerforpedestrians and :bade from excessive summer sun indoors. 27 Other Structures Energy Conservation and Solar Response. Building siting and design shall noict beat gain from the high summer sun through awnings, porches, and trellises, while allowing the lower -angle winter sun to penetrate the leafless branches of deciduous trees to heat interiors. In the winter, thermal masses in the building may help store daytime beat gain to release in evenings Fences & Walls Walls and fences within view of streets, parks, or plazas must be constructed out of attractive, long - lasting materials, such as wood, wrought iron, masonry, or stone. Chain link and wire fencing must not be used. ` iset el above Walls and fences must not exceed 42 16. inches in height within 20 feet of streets, parks, and plazas. A masonry wall of 7 to 9 fcct in height is required between any adjacent non Service Areas. Trash or loading areas shall be screened from view with landscaping, wall.; or other structures Service Areas Service areas are places where truck loading takes place, refuse is stored, or mechanical equipment is mounted. Service areas must be located away from and screened from view of streets, parks, and plazas, and landscaped walkways. Appropriate screening strategies include vine - covered walls or fences, trellises, arcades, dense landscaping reaching a height of 6 feet, or some combination thereof Where service areas cannot be avoided along a street, park or plaza, they must be recessed within a building's envelope.

Different uses (such as retail, office, and entertainment) shall share off - street parking spaces, particularly in Mixed -Use Districts, and the maximum number of spaces shall not exceed 125 percent of the combined peak demand as derived with the shared parking calculation. By recognizing that peak demand occurs at different times for different land uses, shared parking facilities help minimize the amount of land and expense devoted to parking lots or garages. The Urban Land Institute's Shared Parking Standards (cited below), or equivalent, shall be used to calculate the total number of shared parking spaces. To determine shared parking demand, two or more uses would be added for each hour of the day, for bothweekdays and for Saturdays, to see which hour produces the highest parking demand. The following steps shall be used to determine the required minimum number of spaces for mixed - use areas. 1. Note the peak hour demand (above) parking space requirements for each individual land use. 2. Determine the parking demand for each individual land use for given times, i.e. weekdays and Saturdays at 10 AM,1 PM, 4 PM, 8 PM, and 10 PM. 3. Determine the aggregate parking demand for these given times by summing the demand of the various land uses for each given time. 4. Determine the minimum shared parking space requirement by noting the largest of the aggre- gate parking demand figures. On- street parking spaces shall be used to help meet this require- ment.

These `Percent of peak parking" diagrams illtatrate graphically the same principles shown in the Tabl4 namely, daily variation in parking demand for eh erent land rues for weekdays versus Satterdayc Example of Shared Parking Calculation The following example illustrates how to determine the reduction in demand from joint-use, shared parking for a mixed -use area combining a 10,000 square-foot restaurant and a 200,000 square foot office. • Local parking standards might required 10 spaces per1,000 square feet for restaurants and 3 spaces per 1,000 for office. The 10,000 square foot restaurant and the 200,000 square foot office would thus require 100 and 600 spaces, respectively, or 700 total. • . To determine parking demand if spaces are shared, parking demands for the 2 uses would be added for given times, for both weekdays and Saturdays, to see which hour produces the highest parking demand. In this case, the highest total demand is at 2 pm on a weekday, when the restaurant is at 70 percent of peak and the office is at 95 percent of peak, for a total demand of 640 spaces. This is 60 spaces less than would be required with the individual conventional requirements. Larger reductions in demand are possible with uses that have greater differences in their demand curves, such as office and cinema. On- Street Parking 'With the exception of Lake Drive and entry roads where parallel parking operations would ad- versely impact traffic flow, all streets must have on- street parking On-street parking shall be counted towards the parking requirement of adjacent buildings on the street side abutting the uses. 30 • • • • • Parking Lots (A different diagram is to be inserted showing larger groupings of parking lot trees rather than singular "orchard style" plantings) Proposed Space Sire w/Tree Well Addition (Compact Space) 274' o.c.

Landscaped Frontages Where parking lots abut streets, a Landscaped Frontage shall be provided on the parcel, adjacent to the sidewalk. Landscaped Frontages are also required where parking lots abut Lake Drive. The landscaping shall meet the requirements outlined in Landscaped Frontages below. Landscaped Frontages are not required when parking lots are sited behind buildings or plazas. Connecting Walkways Linking Building Entrances to Sidewalks. Where building entries do not abut a street, Connecting Walkways are required to link the building entrance to street sidewalks. This configuration is most likely for large anchor store tenants who require parking lots in front of building entrances. See Connecting Walkways in the section on Landscape Requirements for further guidance. Landscaped Connecting Walkways. Landscaped connecting walkways are required in large parking lots and to connect buildings set behind parking lots to streets. Walkways shall be integrated with drainage and stormwater management features such as swales. 32 .Landscaped Frontages.

Parking structures are prohibited along Build - to Lines unless retail occupies the ground floor facing public streets. • Parking structures, whether stand -alone or combined with other uses, shall meet the front, rear, and side setbacks shown in Table 3 and discussed above. • Parking structures are prohibited within 40 feet of a residence. • Parking structures may not exceed 35- 45 feet in height. Bicycle Parking Bicycle parking must be provided in easily - accessible locations in all Districts. One bicycle space shall be provided for every 2,000 Square feet of building Net Floor Arca. 10.000 square feet of building gross floor area. Bicycle parking tettst should be visible from storefronts or office building front doors, in order to improve security for parked bicycles. See also the discussion on Street Paving and Furnishings in Section 5.1, Streets. 34 Parking Structures. Parking structures are prohibited along build -to lines (top), unless they contain ground floor retail at the street facingfacade (bottom). Alternately, underground parking garages are an option. • • • 3.6. LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS Site Planning to Preserve Natural Assets While the network of required streets is fixed, many siting decisions remain for other streets and for buildings. Views & Vistas. Site planning shall recognize the role that street alignment and topography contribute to visual prominence. High points on the land and vistas along common routes provide unique opportunities to site important buildings, building entrances, plazas, and monuments. Doing so will add recognizable landmarks that can make the Town Center a memorable place. Grading. Site planning shall minimize gradingwhen locating streets and buildings. When areas with slopes must be graded, "landform" grading techniques shall be used and slopes exceeding 1:3 shall be avoided. Rounded forms that use concave and convex shapes help conceal cuts by presenting a more "natural" look. Varied slopes also disperse drainage flows, reducing the potential for erosion and allowing more percolation. Concentrating drainage in concave males also enhances on -site stormwater retention and minimizes the need for large detention areas off -site. If required, any retainingwalls shall not exceed 5 feet in height. Landscaped Frontages (See city landscaping pallet for accepted species) A ten foot wide landscaped buffer must be placed where parking lots abut local and surrounding streets, including alongLake Drive. However, care shall be taken to design and site the buffers such that they do not provide ambush points or obstruct views. The buffer must include at least one of the following • A low fence or wall ofbetween 24 to 36 inches high, within 3 feet of the street's sidewalk, and trees planted not more than 30 feet on- center, • A "hedgerow" of poplar, cypres3 or othcr tall el:Am-miff trees planted not more than 30 feet cri-cEntEcokribined with shrubs; • A trellis supported by posts not more than 15 feet apart on center, within 3 feet of the street's sidewalk, and trees planted not more than 30 feet on- center, or • An equivalent feature that screens views of parked cars and defines the street spatially. Along Interstate 35W frontage, there is a metal security fence. Planting to screen the security fence along 35W is encouraged. Chainlink and cyclone fences are stdctly prohibited. 35 y41:rY 43'i tj ri_ri,to r rh ricAi.NA Yi tt n .

Any covered structure such as a trellis must have at least 10 feet dear height, but must not obstruct visibility or provide hiding or ambush places. Paving. Connecting walkways must be paved with a special paving or concrete in a pattern or color that contrasts with the surrounding pavement, as specified under Public Improvements. Tree Planting. Connectingwalkways mustbe plantedwith either shade trees spaced 30 feet on center or a shade structure such as a trellis with climbingvines. Lighting. Connectingwalkways must be equipped with lighting on one side, at least 3 feet in height in order to be visible in deep snow drifts or snow banks. Lighting standards spaced a maximum of 30 feet apart, and a maximum of 10 feet tall, are recommended. Parking Lots Parking lot islands mustbe landscaped to include trees and additional plantings. 37 3.7. ON —SITE LIGHTING The following standards apply to on -site lighting, including lighting of signs, structures, landscaping, plazas, parking, and service areas. Streets must be lit by lamp standards; refer to the standards in Chapter 5, Public Improvement Standards. Intensity and Direction of Lighting All lighting fixtures, including spotlights, electrical reflectors, and other means of illuminating signs, structures, landscaping, parking, loading, and similar areas, shall be focused, directed and arranged to prevent horizontal glare or direct illumination on adjoiningproperty or streets. A sharp cut off must be used to direct light toward walls and landscaping to avoid shining light up into the sky. Indirect illumination of neighboring residential properties or uses by any on -site lighting shall not exceed 0.4 foot candles at the property line, as measured horizontally and vertically from the adjacent grade to a height of 14 feet. No mercury vapor utility yard lights or other light fixtures with high intensity discharge lamps or bulbs, which are not designed to limit or control light direction or which do not shield the light source from view of neighboring residential properties, shall be permitted. • Minimii i g Glare. Light fromparking lots and other bnghty -lit areas shosdd not leak into residences or other sensitive areas. Landscaping nay kelp reduce light glair and leakage. Lamp Color and Consistency Subsequent to the adoption of this ordinance, the City is expected to develop a unified lightingplan for the Town Center. Lamp types shall be selected to enhance color recognition within three zones: along streets and walkways, within parks and plazas, and within parking lots. Within each of these zones, lamps of similar type and color shall be used, with the conversion of non- conforming existing lamps encouraged over time. 38 • • • • • Types of Lighting Applications Architectural, Accent lighting of architectural features is encouraged to highlight building massing and rhythm and enhance the pedestrian environment. Accent lighting shall not be a source ofglare, reflected glare, or excessive light, especially when viewed from residences and streets, walkways or open spaces. The following specific standards apply. BuildrngEntries. Building entries with high activity levels shall be illuminated. Appropriate treatments include: bathing entry surfaces and doorways with light, allowing the building interior light to glow through glazing or using decorative lighting fixtures to announce entries. ServiceAreas. Building-mounted downlight fixtures, in combinationwithpole fixtures, are preferred for the illumination of building service areas. Such fixtures do not cause glare or light leakage beyond the service areas. Landscaped Frontages. Regular uplighting of walls or other structures in Landscaped Frontages shall occur throughout the Town Center and must be coordinated to create a consistent and dramatic effect. Landscaping and Furnishing. Uplighting is recommended for all landscaping and furnishings (in both public and private areas) that require accenting (such as specimen trees and shrubs and sculptural features). Specific areas indude streets, parks, and plazas. Landscaped Walkways Landscaped Walkways and otherpedestrianpaths— unless adjacent to abuilding that provides adequate lighting —shall be lit by pole or bollard type fixtures that are human- scale, typically not to exceed 16 feet or 4 feet in height, respectively. However, lighting must be at least 3 feet in height in order to be visible in deep snow drifts or snow banks. SeatingAreas. Where intimate environments are desired (e.g. seating areas in parks and plazas, and some pedestrian walkways), light bollards and other forms of indirect illumination are appropriate. Bollards Lighting bollards are recommended for illuminating pedestrian walkways, parks and plazas. Lighting bollards must have a black metal finish. Bollards must have a diameter of approximately 8 inches and a height of at least 3 feet, to avoid being obstructed by snow. Around the light source near the top of the bollard, horizontal louvers must be used to stylistically complement the luminares and direct light downward. Concrete finishes shall not be used for lighting bollards. Submittal Requirements and Design Review A lighting plan prepared by a qualified lighting consultant shall be submitted for design review All lighting and their methods of installation shall be reviewed and approved by the City. Each owner /tenantwill be responsible for the design, fabrication, and installation of lights on private property. Owner /Tenant shall submit three (3) sets of professionally executed sign drawings for approval by the Planning Department These drawings shall be of a scale of 1 /8 ":1' or larger, showing light locations, size, layout, design, lamp colors, and materials. The Owner/Tenant shall meet all City permit and fee requirements for lights prior to installation of any light. 39 • AGENDA ITEM V. G STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: July 12, 2000 TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING (continued): Ordinance 09 -00 Tree Preservation Ordinance BACKGROUND We have received information that allows staff to analyze a hypothetical development with regard to the requirements of the draft tree preservation ordinance. The site analyzed is about 7.7 acres including road right of way and 17 lots. We have completed the exercise of reviewing the development plan, which resulted in the following: • total tree cover 4,000 caliper inches • tree loss 1,000 caliper inches • tree loss 25% of the total tree cover. • at 25% loss, replacement requirement would be 50% of lost trees • replacement: 500 caliper inches • We then attempted to estimate the cost of this replacement The Environmental Specialist assembled the following data: 250 red oak trees of 2" diameter 286 green ash trees of wholesale planted $119 each, $29,750 total $238 each, $59,500 total balled & burlap $29 each, $8294 total $58 each, $16,588 total 1.75" to 2" diameter potted Though there are more options than this, this provides a good range from an upper to a lower end cost. Assuming a 50/50 variety of trees, the total replacement would be about $38,000. If this exercise indicates a typical expected level of loss and cost and we judge it is too high a cost, we should examine the replacement percentages. If this level of loss and cost is not typical, we would be examining an exceptional piece of land and should not be making policy based on such an example. Some exception could be written into the ordinance to account for excessive cost situations. To see if this is an unusual piece of land, we are attempting to examine the tree cover in • Lino Lakes using the environmental inventory. If we can use the inventory to compare Tree Preservation Ordinance August 9, 2000 page 2 • tree cover to our expected growth pattern, we can draw a reasonable conclusion on whether planned growth will occur in heavily forested areas. That is, will the planned development occur in forested areas and thus result in a high level of tree loss? Unfortunately, we have not completied this examination. Staff recommends continuing the public hearing to allow us to pursue this analysis further. The results will be presented at the September P & Z meeting. RECOMMENDATION Continue the public hearing. • • • Marmon Keystone August 9, 2000 page 3 and the unsold property to the west is interrelated. Because of this, the design and review of these two sites requires coordination. The City Engineer's memo addresses these issues further. • Parking For light manufacturing, our code requires at least one parking space per 2000 sf of gross floor area or one space per employee, whichever is greater. The office area requires 3 spaces plus one space per 200 sf. For the purposes of calculating parking spaces, the ordinance requirement is to use 90% of the gross building area. The total requirement is 48 parking spaces. The plan shows 29, with an area provided for 24 more if additional parking is needed. This totals 53. The applicant has stated that previous experience has shown that 29 will be enough. In the interest of reducing unnecessary impervious surface, the "proof of parking" approach is a good alternative. If parking becomes a problem, additional parking will be constructed. • Roads, Access, Circulation Passenger vehicles will use the parking on the east side of the building. A shared driveway provides access to the site on the east. The driveway will be shared by TC Fab and Marmon Keystone. A shared driveway agreement between the two sites will be necessary and staff is recommending that one be submitted for City review as a condition of approval. In reviewing shared driveways, we must consider potential traffic conflicts in the driveway itself. Vehicles leaving the sites come from two directions and mix in the driveway before exiting onto Apollo. The parking drive is 100+ feet back from Apollo Drive. This is adequate and will minimize conflicts. A public roadway segment is proposed on the west side of the site. This would be about 230 ft. of road with a cul de sac. This road provides for trucks to circulate around the site. In addition, the road will provide access to future parcels in the undeveloped area on the west of the Marmon Keystone site. This road will be constructed to City standards and will require a developer's agreement like other development projects involving public roads. This can be part of the agreement for tax increment financing. gross area 90% code requirement required spaces total footprint 19,200 sf office 2,048 sf 1843 3 plus one space per 200 sf 12 mfg /warehouse 81,000 sf 72,900 one space per 2000 sf 36 TOTAL 48 The total requirement is 48 parking spaces.

This can be part of the agreement for tax increment financing. Marmon Keystone August 9, 2000 page 4 Both the shared driveway and the public roadway are consistent with the joint powers agreement with Anoka County that covers the number and type of accesses on Apollo Drive. • Park Dedication Park dedication will be subject to the City policy. For low -labor intensity businesses (one employee or fewer per 1000 sf ), the requirement is $133 per 1000 sf of commercial building. Marmon Keystone, with the potential for 11 employees in 83,050 sf, qualifies for this. Therefore, the park dedication would be $11,045. • Outdoor Storage Conditional Use Permit Outdoor storage is allowed as a conditional use in the LI zone per Ordinance 02 -00, adopted this past February. Two sets of findings must be made. Findings for All Conditional Use Permits: As stated in Sec. 2 Subd. 2.B.7., the Planning and Zoning Board shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall order the issuance of such permit only if it can make findings that the proposed use at the proposed location: a. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. b. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific plans and policies of the comprehensive plan of the City and this ordinance. c. Will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing and/or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. d. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. e. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. f. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. g. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which are so designed as not to create traffic congestion or an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares. h. Will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. i. Will conform to specific standards of this ordinance applicable to the particular use. • • • • • AGENDA ITEM V. E STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: August 9, 2000 TOPIC: Site & Building Plan Review PUBLIC HEARING (cont.): Conditional Use Permit Marmon Keystone, 265 Apollo Drive BACKGROUND The application includes a site plan and conditional use permit. The P & Z considered the project at the July 12 meeting and continued the public hearing for the CUP. The business processes metal pipe and tubing. Some outdoor storage of pipe, tubing, and other material will be needed, which requires a conditional use permit. This review is based on the following plan submittals though the reduced plans attached here were received at a later date: Preliminary Site Plan 7/21/00 Preliminary Grading Plan 7/21/00 Lighting Plan 7/21/00 Preliminary Utility Plan 7/21/00 Preliminary Landscape Plan 7/21/00 Exterior Elevations rec'd 6/12/00 ANALYSIS The submittal complies with the LI Light Industrial zoning standards as follows: Required Proposed Lot size minimum 1 acre 8 acres Lot width minimum 100 ft 500+ ft Setbacks: buildings from street rear lot line side lot line parking from street rear lot line side lot line 50 ft 30 ft 10 ft 15 ft 5 ft 5 ft 50 ft 205 ft 110 ft 15 ft 470 ft 25 ft Bldg. height 45 ft 32 ft Green space 10% >10% Marmon Keystone August 9, 2000 page 2 • Building The footprint is approximately 83,050 sf. The main building is about 200' x 405', and the office area is 32' x 64'. The building will be 32' high except for the loading dock locations on the west and east sides, where the ground elevation will be lower by four feet. Precast concrete panels will form the exterior walls of the main building. The office portion will be rock -faced concrete block. The applicant states that trash will be stored within the building. The plans indicate a recycling bin. The recycling bin must be screened. • Lighting Light fixtures will be shoebox fixtures on the building walls and in the parking and drive areas. The submitted preliminary lighting plan showing site lighting intensity indicates that the project complies with the maximum of one foot candle at the street centerline. The shoebox fixtures will ensure lighting is directed downward and not up into the night sky. The lighting plan shows one fixture on the eastern end of the outdoor storage area. The CPTED review recommends an additional fixture to allow better surveillance by police. • Signage Signage is governed by the City's sign ordinance and permits are required for all signs. All signs will be reviewed with the sign permit applications. • Landscaping Marmon Keystone and TC Fab to the east are coordinating their landscape plans. A new landscaping plan. The landscaping plan includes native and non - native plantings, plowing of compacted soils before seeding, and other elements in accordance with the environmental management plan. The Environmental Specialist's memo is attached. • Utilities Sanitary sewer and water service exist on the north edge of the site. (The City vacated the 74th St. right of way on May 22 but retained a drainage and utility easement.) There also are utilities in Apollo Drive, but connections to sanitary sewer there would require tearing up the roadway. It is possible to connect tow ater without digging up the street. The new building will connect to water in Apollo Drive, subject to agreement from Anoka County. The building will connect to sanitary sewer in the 74th St. easement on the north. Stormwater management on this site includes a pond shared by the property on the east. This common pond will serve both sites.
