Legacy at Woods Edge
ACTION REQUIRED: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND
In 1998 the City of Lino Lakes, following award of a Metropolitan Council Livable
Communities Planning Grant, retained the services of the Calthorpe Associates to
design a Master Plan for the City's Town Center District. The purpose of the Lino Lakes
"Town Center" development 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 mix of uses is designed
to implement the principles of the Livable Communities Act and the City's
Comprehensive Plan by creating a Town Center for the community and providing more
diverse, life -cycle housing — including affordable and rental housing — within an active
and interesting pedestrian- oriented community. The development is a cooperative effort
that will leverage public and private investment to create sustainable value, ecologically,
economically and culturally.
The City has concentrated its efforts to implement this plan on the land located adjacent
to the Civic Complex, of which, approximately 6.7 acres has been reserved for the
Chain of Lakes YMCA.
PROJECT LOCATION
The 48.84 acre property is located in the southeast quadrant of the Interstate 35 /Lake
Drive Intersection. It is bounded on the west by Lake Drive, on the north by I -35W, on
the east by Rice Creek Regional Park, and on the south by the Civic Complex and the
Marshan Lane residential area The Civic Complex, an additional 10.01 acres, is
included in the plat.

PROJECT SUMMARY
The Hartford Group, Inc., based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota is requesting approvals to
allow for the development of the property consistent with the Calthorpe Master Plan and
Town Center Design Standards. In total, the Legacy at Woods Edge project is proposed
to allow up to 348,000 square feet of office, retail, and service uses. In addition,
approximately 450 multi - family residential units are proposed for the development. The
residential units provide a variety of housing options and include townhomes, work force
or income - qualifying rental housing, senior housing and for -sale condominiums.
The Hartford Group as obtained purchase agreements with both the City owned land as
well as the northern 29 acres of the site, which is privately owned.

Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)
Minnesota Rules Chapter 4410.4300, subpart 32 requires the preparation of an EAW for
mixed residential and industrial - commercial projects of this size for 3rd or 4th class cities.
Subsequently an EAW was prepared. The EAW was reviewed by the City's
Environmental Board on November 6, 2003, and approved by the City Council for
distribution and comment on November 10, 2003. The required 30 -day public comment
period ended on December 24, 2003. The Environmental Board recommended approval
of the Record of Decision and a finding of no significant impact at its January 21, 2004
meeting. A determination of No Significant Impact was made by the City Council on
February 9, 2004.
Existing Land Uses
The southerly end of the site is developed with the Lino Lakes City Hall complex that
includes the City Hall offices, police station, and an early childhood learning center.
Two existing businesses are located along the west side of the site. The Lino Lakes
State Bank and Fairview Clinic have frontage along Lake Drive (CSAH 23), but receive
access on Village Drive, which is a backage road connected to Town Center Parkway.
The northern portion of the site is currently occupied by Arctic Sandblasting Company
and one single - family residence and is bound by I -35W on the north, the Rice Creek
Chain of Lakes Regional Park on the east and CSAH 23 on the west. This privately held
business has been in operation since 1975. The commercial business consists of
several structures, service roads, and includes a large semi - tractor trailer storage area.
Access to the business is along a service road that intersects with Lake Drive north of
Fairview Clinic near the I -35W access ramp. Both the business and existing single -
family residence will be removed as part of the development project.
Adjacent Land Uses
The southern property line for the proposed development is bordered by the Rice Creek
Chain of Lakes Regional Park and a small residential development consisting of seven
single- family dwellings. The eastern property line is bordered by the Rice Creek Chain
of Lakes Regional Park. Land uses on the west side of Lake Drive include an Amoco
service station, limited residential development, and undeveloped property that is
currently zoned for commercial development. The northern side of the project area is
separated from existing commercial and industrial uses by I -35W.
Comprehensive Plan
The City's 2001 Comprehensive Plan guides the property for Mixed Use Development.
The plan specifically states the following:
"The southeast quadrant of the I -35W /Lake Drive interchange represents the Lino Lakes
City Council
Legacy at Woods Edge
March 8, 2004
Village area. The Village is intended to integrate a mixture of commercial, medium and
high density residential and public land uses in an attractive and cohesive design." The
plan is intended to emphasize the following objectives
1. A 65 -acre complex of buildings in a controlled setting.
2. An integrated mix of uses that responds to residents' needs.
3. A gathering place that creates a sense of community, civic identity and pride.
4. A place that defines the unique character of the community.
5. An economic development initiative to increase the value of the commercial tax
base.
6. A distinctive, consistent architectural style that promotes high quality,
aesthetically pleasing commercial buildings.
The plan provides for a residential density of between 10 and 24 units per acre within
mixed use districts.
The proposed mix of residential and commercial, civic, and recreational uses are
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Village Master Plan.
Zoning
The property is currently zoned LB, Limited Business District. The City's Zoning
Ordinance provides for mixed -use development through the use of the Planned Unit
Development process.
Additionally, The eastern and southern portions of the site are located within the
designated shoreland zoning districts for George Watch Lake and Marshan Lake. The
Shoreland District extends 1,000 feet from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) of
public waters.
Growth Management Ordinance
The City adopted Ordinance No. 01 -03, creating a Growth Management Policy in
January of 2003. Section 2, Subdivision 16 of the Ordinance specifically exempts the
"Village" area from the provisions of the policy.
Design & Development Standards
The Design and Development Standards are - proposed as the regulating zoning
standards for the Legacy at Woods Edge development. The standards establish the
use, site layout, site amenity and architectural control guidelines for the Planned Unit
Development.
The Development Standards were prepared by Calthorpe Associates as part of the
"Village" Master Plan process completed in 2000. Staff has revised the standards to
reflect the proposed Legacy at Woods Edge project. The majority of changes relate
City Council
Legacy at Woods Edge
March 8, 2004
specifically to Chapter 4 Residential District Standards, due to the elimination of single
family residences within this area. Additionally, Chapter 3.8 Project Identity & Signage,
and Chapter 5, Public Improvement Standards have been removed. Signage
requirements will need to be completed and approved before final plan /final plat
approval and incorporated into the standards. The public improvement section was
removed because the City is designing all public improvements.
Master Site Plan
The Master Site Plan and its associated Site Development Summary provides the
framework from which development will need to conform to. The plan referred to as the
"Regulating Plan" within the development standards specifies the essential physical
features for the development including:
Streets
A minimum framework of streets is required as presented in the master plan. Town
Center Parkway, including the traffic circle, Village Drive and the roads surrounding the
"Community Green" have been established with specific design standards. The
proposed street layout is generally consistent with the Calthorpe Master Plan.
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 close 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 right -of -way.
As represented by the building layout on the Master Plan, build -to lines extend along
Town Center Parkway, Village Drive, and around the Community Green. A minimum of
50 to 70 percent of the block must have buildings, parks, or plazas adjacent to the build -
to lines. In commercial and mixed use areas buildings may be setback no greater than
5 feet from the right -of -way line. In residential districts, buildings adjacent to build to
lines can be setback no further than 15 feet.
The proposed development conforms to these requirements.
Required Building Entries
The Regulating Plan identifies the location where major building entries must be
provided to create important pedestrian and visual connections. These entries are
located at important corners or intersections. An important entry provided for in the
proposed plan is located mid block on both sides of the community green. This location
•
City Council
Legacy at Woods Edge
March 8, 2004
is the primary access point to upper story residential units and provides an important
link between the parking areas and the community green.
Gateways
Entrances to the Woods Edge development should be marked by distinctive features
that announce your arrival at the Town Center. These locations are indicated on the
Regulating Plan.
Site Development Summary
The associated development summary provides the connection between the site layout
and the intended use and size of individual buildings. Buildings 6, 7, 10, 16 and 17
represent the mixed commercial /residential structures.
Open Space
Three types of Open Spaces are proposed within the Woods Edge development.
These spaces provide recreation and relaxation space and functions as natural edges
to the development. In addition to on -site open space, the site provides unparalleled
opportunities for recreation due to its proximity to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes
Regional Park, located immediately to the east and south. The project will provide
pedestrian /bicycle trail links into the regional park system.
Accessible Commons
The residential district must provide a minimum acreage of Accessible Commons equal
to 10 percent of the District land area. Located within the center of the townhome area
the commons is a neighborhood- oriented open space intended to provide limited
recreation and gathering areas. The specific size, location and improvement of the
commons area will be reviewed in conjunction with any proposed residential
development in this area.
City Parks & Plazas
An approximately one acre community green is provided for in the heart of the
development. This space provides for a public gathering area adjacent to the retail,
office, higher intensity uses within the Mixed Use District.
Natural Resource Area
Natural Resource Areas protect valuable natural features while allowing pedestrian
access along trails. The majority of the Open Space within the Woods Edge project
falls within this category.
As part of the site development, approximately 9 acres of the site, comprising
approximately 6.5 acres of wetland, will be preserved in its natural state. The wetland
City Council
Legacy at Woods Edge
March 8, 2004
area, located along the northeastern boundary of the site is part of an 87 acre wetland
complex that separates the site from George Watch Lake. Additionally, changes in site
design have allowed for the opportunity to preserve approximately 1.6 acres of
woodlands in the southeastern portion of the project in conjunction with the future
YMCA development.
Master Landscaping
A revised master landscaping plan has been submitted that defines tree quantities,
types and locations, typical landscaping details and proposed ground covers. The plan
calls for a mixture of shade and ornamental trees, shrubs and perennial plantings
throughout the development. The plan does provide for landscaped "connected
walkways" that link the parking areas with building entrances most notably between
buildings 16 and 17 leading to the future YMCA.
Appropriate locations should be identified for native plantings such as along the existing
wetland in the northeastern portion of the site.
The environmental board has provided a recommendation for proposed tree types as
part of their review (attached).
Streetscapinq Plan
SEH has prepared a preliminary streetscaping plan in accordance with the Calthorpe
Design Standards. Streetscaping is one of the most essential elements to provide a
welcoming pedestrian friendly environment. The proposed elements include
landscaped medians, boulevard trees, decorative lighting and decorative pavers
throughout the development.
Also included in the plan is the preliminary design for the community green that will
combine both seasonal gardens, a central green space and plaza area. Street furniture
and other amenities will be incorporated as the project develops. Further articulation of
the design will take place during the preparation of the feasibility study as well as during
the preparation of plans and specifications. Proposed features will need to be
evaluated based on cost, timing, as well maintainability of the improvements.
Traffic /Circulation
Access to the proposed development is provided via the Lake Drive/Town Center
Parkway intersection. As shown on the Master Site Plan, Town Center Parkway will
need to be widened to a four lane section and then taper to a two lane section north of
the Civic Complex. A traffic circle is proposed within in the center of the development to
promote the efficient flow of traffic at this main intersection. One -way streets are
proposed circling the village green.
While the City's Subdivision Ordinance establishes minimum Level Of Service (LOS)
requirements for roadways outside of proposed developments, the requirements do not
City Council
Legacy at Woods Edge
March 8, 2004
apply to the I -35W /Lake Drive and I -35E /Main Street interchanges. However, the
ordinance does require examination of development impacts and a plan to resolve
identified deficiencies.
The City's engineering consultant SEH has completed a traffic analysis for the site to
evaluate traffic impacts both internally and extemally of the site. A summary of the traffic
analysis prepared by SEH, dated February 11, 2004 is attached. As part of the study
AM and PM Peak Hour trip generation rates were developed for the proposed
development as well as the existing facilities (City Hall complex, Fairview Clinic, and
Lino Lakes State Bank). Trips to /from each building have been assigned to the street
system within the development. This provided a tabulation of traffic volumes at various
locations within the development, as well as at the intersection of Town Center Parkway
and Lake Drive (CSAH 23). According to this analysis, the Peak Hour traffic volume is
1,155 trips, which occurs from 4:30 -5:30 p.m.
Based on the traffic analysis, a concept transportation improvement plan was developed
for the Town Center Parkway and Lake Drive intersection. On Town Center Parkway,
the plan includes three outbound lanes to separate left turn, through, and right turning
traffic and also includes two inbound lanes. Signalization of this intersection would also
be necessary to maintain acceptable levels of service.
According to the 2020 Traffic Volume Forecast in the Lino Lakes Transportation Plan,
traffic volumes on Lake Drive are anticipated to increase to over 17,000 trips per day.
Regardless of the proposed development, improvements to Lake Drive are expected in
the future. However, to accommodate the full development of the Legacy at Woods
Edge Development, several additional improvements to Lake Drive will need to be
made in the short term. The concept transportation plan has proposed the construction
of two southbound left turn lanes between the intersection of Town Center Parkway and
the I -35W bridge. Furthermore, traffic signals at Town Center Parkway and both ramps
to I -35W are anticipated. To signalize the south ramp intersection, the existing off ramp
and on ramp intersections, which are now separated, need to be aligned to a single
intersection, which would require the reconstruction of approximately 400 -feet of the on
ramp.
A meeting was held on January 29, 2004 with the Mn /DOT Area Engineer and Mn /DOT
traffic and freeway modeling staff to review the analysis. Mn /DOT indicated that no
further analysis was required. However, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
has requested documentation that demonstrates traffic will not back up onto mainline I-
35W.
As detailed in the attached traffic operations analysis the I -35W /Lake Drive interchange
area will perform at acceptable levels of service (LOS D or higher) through 2010 with
the proposed improvements. The analysis also demonstrates that queue lengths (the
distance of vehicle stacking at intersections) will not back onto the I -35W mainline.
City Council
Legacy at Woods Edge
March 8, 2004
The City will be resubmitting the preliminary plat to Mn /DOT for further review. The
resubmittal is needed to identify the area of right -of -way within the plat that is needed to
accommodate the ramp realignment. Additionally, the City will still need to present the
traffic simulation models to Anoka County and Met Council. This will be scheduled in
the near future.
The proposed Lake Drive improvements will require the acquisition of right -of -way along
Lake Drive. The proposed improvements and extent of right -of -way acquisition will be
evaluated further as part of the feasibility study for the project. Staff is also continuing
to work with Anoka County and Mn /DOT regarding possible cost participation.
Parking.
The development, standards establish parking requirements through the use of shared
parking standards. By recognizing that peak parking demand occurs at different times
for different land uses, shared parking facilities help minimize the amount of land and
expense devoted to parking Tots. Additionally, on- street parking has be included in the
development plan were possible.
A parking analysis was completed to determine if the site plan has provided adequate
parking space for the proposed level of development. The analysis segmented the site
into four zones to compare the availability of parking spaces for commercial and office
uses to the potential demand within each zone. Based on the analysis, Block 1 was
short approximately 15 spaces. However, staff is evaluating the availability of the Civic
Complex parking lot due to its close proximity to this area. Otherwise, the site has
adequately addressed the parking demands within each zone for commercial/office
uses. Residential parking is proposed to be provided entirely underground throughout
the mixed use areas of the development. However there appears to be a 10 stall short
fall in Block 3.
The parking analysis will have to be revisited on a case by case basis with future
development on the site to insure the needs of different land uses are satisfied.
Adjustments of allowable square footages and /or residential units may be required
during individual site and building plan reviews.
Architectural Standards
Another key component of the project is the establishment of architectural standards.
Architectural Standards for the proposed development fall into four Categories:
1. Facade Transparency. Facade Transparency guidelines help strengthen the
relationship between buildings and the street and increase public safety by
placing "eyes" and activity on the street.
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.
City Council
Legacy at Woods Edge
March 8, 2004
3. Building Scale and Definition. These guidelines are intended to create buildings
with a human scale, making the development more pedestrian - friendly and a
pleasant place to walk.
4. Energy Conservation and Climatic Response. The effects of the Minnesota
climate can be mitigated through intelligent building design configuration and
landscape treatments.
The requirements contained within these categories will be incorporated into the
building design throughout the development.
Master Grading and Drainage and Erosion Control Plan
The City's engineering consultant SEH, Inc., has prepared a preliminary Grading,
Drainage and Erosion Control Plan. Runoff from the site currently drains to the south
and east and ultimately discharges to Marshan Lake and George Watch Lake.
The development proposes to construct a drainage system within all the street
improvements and parking areas to convey runoff to proposed ponding areas and
infiltration cells (green space or underground storage chambers). Subsurface chamber
technology takes advantage of the soil's inherent filtration and renovation capabilities to
store and treat storm water runoff while providing the flexibility to plan for additional
buildings and green space. To maximize pollutant removal efficiencies, the water quality
control structures will be designed and constructed according to NURP, the City of Lino
Lakes, and Rice Creek Watershed District standards.
Storm water rate control and treatment will occur prior to any storm water being
discharged to receiving water bodies. Therefore, water quality in the receiving
waterbodies will not be adversely impacted. Treated storm water will either be naturally
infiltrated into the groundwater or will be discharged to existing wetland basins located
on and /or adjacent to the site. Water from these wetlands eventually will enter George
Watch Lake, Marshan Lake, and the remainder or the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes
system.
Master Utility Plan
The development is proposed to be serviced with public sanitary sewer and water
utilities. The sanitary sewer service will be provided by the existing trunk sanitary sewer
main that runs within both Town Center Parkway and Village Drive. The sanitary sewer
laterals will be extended through the site
Water service will be provided by the existing trunk water main that runs within both
Town Center Parkway and Village Drive. The water laterals will be extended through
the site A trunk line will be extended northerly across I -35W to provide a planned
improvement to the City's water system.

City Council
Legacy at Woods Edge
March 8, 2004
Master Lighting Plan
SEH has prepared a preliminary lighting plan for the public streets consistent with the
Calthorpe Design Standards. Decorative lighting will be used throughout the
development. Private lighting for internal parking areas will be reviewed in conjunction
with proposed development. In accordance with the design standards lighting shall not
exceed .4 foot candles at the property line and must contain a 90 degree cutoff angle.
A lighting plan prepared by a qualified lighting consultant shall be submitted for review
and approval by the City.
Development, Ownership and Management
The Hartford Group will be the Legacy at Woods Edge master developer, and will
contract with sub- developers to develop phases of the project. Sub - developers may be
affiliated Hartford entities. The rental housing is proposed to be developed and owned
by affiliates of the Hartford Group. The townhome and commercial locations are
proposed to be developed distinctly by Hartford affiliates or separate sub - developers.
The sub - developers for Legacy at Woods Edge have not been finalized at this time.
Residences are proposed to be market -rate, with up to a twenty percent affordable
component included. The Hartford Group's market studies will determine initial pricing,
with flexibility to adjust to market changes. The Hartford may retain ownership,
development, and management, or contract for development and management, or sell
parcels.
The rental /owner occupied housing mix and affordability percentages shall be subject to
and incorporated the Development/PUD agreement between Hartford and the City.
Market Analysis
The proposed project represents the maximum intensity of development, due to
physical and transportation constraints, that can be accommodated on the site. The
Hartford Group has commissioned a study, which is nearing completion. The results of
the study shall be incorporated into an economic feasibility study that will be required for
review by the City prior to Final Plan /Plat approval.
Shoreland Requirements
The . Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park boundary separates the project area
from the OHWL of George Watch Lake and Marshan Lake by approximately 800 -feet
and 250 -feet, respectively. Given the distance separation and forested nature of the
regional park property, no visual impact to the public water bodies is anticipated.
Additionally, there will be no disturbance of Shore Impact Zones.
Both George Watch Lake and Marshan Lake are classified as Natural Environment
Lakes. Impervious surface coverage of Tots within the Shoreland District of a Natural
11
•
•
City Council
Legacy at Woods Edge
March 8, 2004
Environment Lake cannot exceed 60% for commercial /industrial development and 35%
for multi - family residential. The proposed impervious surface coverage within the
Marshan Lake Shoreland District is classified as commercial development and has been
calculated to be approximately 43% of the total area within the Shoreland District
boundary. No impervious surfaces are proposed within the designated Shoreland
District of George Watch Lake.
The height of structures within the Shoreland Districts shall be limited to thirty -six feet.
Preliminary Plat
The preliminary plat, as submitted, proposes 13 lots, including the Civic Complex and
future YMCA parcels and 3 outlots. There are no specific lot size standards provided
for within the Design Standards. The lot sizes proposed conform to the building
arrangements set forth in the Master Site Plana
Street Right -of -Way
Adequate street right -of -way is provided for in the plat consistent with the Master Site
Plan. Right -of -way to accommodate the realignment of the northbound I -35W ramp on
Lot 1, Block 2 has been incorporated into the revised plat.
Access Control
Access control, dedicated to Anoka County, and the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (Mn /DOT) were applicable is shown on the revised plat.
Drainage and Utility Easements
Drainage and utility easements will be required. Typically, drainage and utility
easements at least 10 feet wide are required along exterior lot lines and centered on
interior lot lines. However, due to the nature of the development, in consideration of
build to lines, these types of easements are not practical.
Easements will be required around the 100 year flood elevation for all wetlands and
stormwater drainage basins. Additionally easements will be required centered on all
stormwater and utility lines not located within public right -of -way. The width and
locations of such easements have been determined by the City's Consulting Engineer
and are incorporated into the preliminary plat.
Ingress and Egress easements, by separate instrument, will also be required to provide
for shared parking throughout the development.

Park Dedication
The revised plat identifies the "Community Green" as Park. Additionally, the
preservation of natural environment areas is included as part of the Design Standards.
Outlot B is identified as the primary preservation area. Anoka County parks, as part of
the EAW comments, requested that this portion of the project be held under public
ownership. As indicated on the plat, Outlot B will be dedicated to the public.
Existing Easements of Record
The preliminary plat references two roadway easements per Anoka County half section
maps that run east -west across the northerly portion of the site. Title work should be
prepared to verify the status of these easements. If they are existing easements of
record they will need to be vacated or otherwise terminated.
Individual Site Development
Upon approval of the Rezoning and Development Stage Plans individual site
development will be reviewed in accordance with the adopted standards. The request
for Site and Building Plan approval for the Regent at Lino Lakes (buildings 6 and 7),
previously reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Board, has been removed from
consideration at this time to allow for further refinement and evaluation of potential uses.
City Advisory Board Reviews
Environmental Board The Environmental Board reviewed the proposed development
on January 28, 2004 and recommended approval with recommendations to be
incorporated into the site landscaping and operation /maintenance agreement. Their
comments are attached.
Park Board. The Park Board reviewed the proposed development on February 2,

City Council
Legacy at Woods Edge
March 8, 2004
Development Stacie Plan Approval.
Staff makes the following findings with regard to the Development Stage Plan Review
Criteria as established in Section 2.8.d of the City's Zoning Ordinance:
1. The developer will be required to submit an Operation and Maintenance
Agreement to insure adequate property control is provided to protect the
individual owners' rights and property values and the public responsibility for
maintenance and upkeep of the development.
2. The proposed street improvements, including those proposed for Lake Drive, will
not create congestion or dangers and is adequate for the safety of the proposed
project residents and the general public.
3. Open space as required in the development standards is provided.
4. The architectural framework as provided for in the design standards will insure
compatibility with the surrounding area.
5. The drainage and utility system plans are being designed by the City's consulting
engineer and are in accordance with city requirements.
6. The developer will be required to submit a development schedule to insure a
logical development of the site which will protect the public interest and conserve
land.
RECOMMENDATION
The intent of the rezoning to Planned Unit Development and the approval of the
Development Stage Plan is to establish the overall regulatory framework, unique to the
development, while allowing flexibility for individual site design. It is anticipated that
modifications to building size, number and placement will happen as the project
develops. However, such modifications will be subject to the requirements set forth in
the Design Standards.
There are several steps in the process that will commence following approval of the
rezoning and Development Stage Plan. These include, but are not limited to,
preparation and evaluation of the public improvement feasibility study, financial
analysis, operation and maintenance agreement and the development agreement.
These items will need to be completed and approved in conjunction with the final plan
approval.
Generally, the proposed development is consistent with the original Calthorpe Master
Plan and Design Standards. The Hartford Group has been very receptive to design
modifications to insure a high quality development. There are some further changes
and clarifications that need to be incorporated into the final plan as suggested in this
report. Additionally, design items such as the streetscaping element will go through
further modification and review as part of the Public Improvement Design process.

SEH MEMORANDUM

DATE: February 11, 2004
RE:
City of Lino Lakes
Legacy at Woods Edge — Traffic Operations Analysis
SEH No. A- LINOL0304.00 14.00
Traffic operations were evaluated at three intersections along CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) in the City of Lino
Lakes. The evaluation was conducted to learn the operational impacts of the Legacy at Woods Edge
development and the proposed roadway improvements. The three intersections reviewed include:
• Lake Drive and Southbound I -35W Ramps
• Lake Drive and Northbound I -35W Ramps
• Lake Drive and Town Center Parkway
These intersections were modeled using traffic simulation software to determine traffic operations under
the existing and proposed geometrics and intersection control. The proposed improvements used for --the
analysis are shown on the preliminary plat that was submitted to the City in December 2003. These
improvements are considered to be interim until the Lake Drive bridge over I -35W can be replaced. PM
peak hour traffic volumes were used in the analysis because this hour experiences the highest traffic
volumes in the existing and forecast years. As part of the approval process on this project, Mn/DOT
required four sets of analyses:
Existing 2003 — Analysis of the existing geometrics, intersection control and traffic volumes was
used to establish baseline traffic operations.
• 2005 No -Build — Analysis of the existing geometrics and intersection control was conducted with
2005 forecast traffic volumes including full build -out of the development to determine traffic
operations at the year of opening if no improvements were made to the existing system.
• 2005 Build Analysis of the proposed geometrics, intersection control and 2005 forecast traffic
volumes including full build -out of the development was conducted to determine traffic
operations at the year of opening.
• 2010 Build — A "horizon year" analysis was required to determine the year at which the proposed
geometric and intersection control improvements would fail. Mn/DOT staff typically requires a
20 -year forecast for the horizon year analysis. In this case, during discussions with Mn/DOT staff
it was agreed that a "failure date" would likely occur prior to a 20 -year timeframe due to the
capacity constraints presented by the existing Lake Drive bridge over I -35W, as well as those on
mainline I -35W itself.

The 2005 forecast traffic volumes were determined by applying a 1.5 percent per year growth rate to the
existing traffic at the ramp intersections and adding the full build -out development traffic to those
volumes. The 2010 forecast traffic volumes were determined by applying the 1.5 percent per year growth
rate to all volumes including the development volumes. The traffic volumes used in the analysis are
consistent with those discussed in the October 23, 2003 memorandum from Glen Van Wormer. The
existing and forecast turning movement volumes used in the analysis are attached.
Traffic Operations Analysis
The evaluation of traffic operations is based on calculations of the volume to capacity ratio (V /c) ratio and
average delay per vehicle in seconds per vehicle (s/veh) for intersections. These calculations result in a
measure of Level of Service (LOS). The LOS of an intersection is graded on a score of "A" (least delay
per vehicle) to "F' (most delay per vehicle). Most major roadways in the Minneapolis /St. Paul
metropolitan area typically operate at levels of service in the range of D to E during evening rush hours. A
LOS of D is generally acceptable for design.
Simulation was used to model traffic over the PM peak hour to determine the average delay per vehicle
and the related LOS for each intersection and approach. Another critical element of traffic operations
analysis is queuing - the distance that approaches to an intersection "back -up" with vehicles. Simulation
reported the maximum queues for the intersections and the animation was reviewed to determine how the
queues impacted operation. The LOS for the intersections analyzed are shown in Table 1 and the
maximum queues as compared to available or proposed storage are shown in Table 2 (attached).
Also reviewed were critical lane volumes per the methods in the Mn/DOT Traffic Signal Timing and
Coordination Manual. This analysis reviews the critical turning movement volumes at intersections for
the purpose of determining the general capacity sufficiency of a signalized intersection.
Existing 2003
Turning movement volumes conducted by Mn/DOT on December 3, 2003 at the I -35W ramp
intersections with Lake Drive were used in conjunction with turning movements obtained from trip
generation for the existing development in Legacy at Woods Edge and the existing gas station in the
southwest quadrant of the interchange. A field review of existing traffic operations was conducted during
the PM peak hour on Tuesday January 20, 2004. The simulation of existing traffic operations showed
results similar to the field review.
The Northbound I -35W ramps are currently offset at Lake Drive. The Northbound I -35W exit ramp
showed a maximum standing queue of 12 vehicles during the field observation and the simulation showed
a maximum standing queue of 7 vehicles or 140 feet. The existing LOS for the exit ramp approach to the
intersection is LOS A. It was observed in the field that the exiting vehicles do receive gaps in traffic
caused by the platooning of vehicles from the traffic signal at Apollo Drive and Lake Drive. These gaps
allow the exiting vehicles to make their movements without excessive delay.
The LOS for the approaches to each of the three intersections is at LOS C or better.
2005 No -Build
This analysis showed system failures under the 2005 Build forecast traffic volumes and existing
geometric and intersection control conditions. The intersection of Lake Drive with the Northbound I -35W
City of Lino Lakes
Legacy at Woods Edge Traffic Operations Analysis

Page 3
exit ramp showed LOS F at the exit ramp approach. Based on Mn/DOT design manuals the exit ramp
must have sufficient deceleration distance for vehicles to exit the freeway safely and come to a complete
stop. The queue for this approach extends into the deceleration area exceeding the available storage.
The Town Center Parkway approach to Lake Drive also operates at LOS F with two -way stop control at
the intersection and existing geometry.
2005 Build
This analysis assumes the proposed interim geometric improvements and traffic signals with coordinated
timings at each of the three intersections. The Northbound I -35W entrance ramp was realigned to oppose
the exit ramp. The LOS for the approaches at each of the intersections is LOS D or better as shown in
Table 1.
The maximum queues from Table 2 show that some approaches did exceed proposed storage. It is
important to note that the table shows the maximum queues experienced over the analysis hour, not the
average queues. It is important to note the maximum queues to provide an accurate account of what may
occur at some point during the peak hour on the system, however they are not always an indicator of how
the system will operate throughout the entire analysis hour. This is why review of the animation should
accompany a summary of queues. The average queues reported by the simulation are also helpful in
understanding traffic operations. The 2005 Build traffic operations at each of the intersections are
summarized below.
• Lake Drive and the Southbound I -35W ramps: The northbound left -turn lane had a maximum
queue that exceeded the proposed 150 -foot storage lane. Review of the animation showed this
will not interfere with system operations during the analysis hour. It should be noted that the
average queue reported by the simulation program at this location is 40 feet.
• Lake Drive and Northbound I -35W ramps: Analysis showed that the southbound left turn lane
had a maximum queue that exceeded the proposed 150 -foot storage lane. Review of the
animation showed this will not interfere with system operations during the analysis hour. It
should also be noted that the reported average queue at this location is 61 feet.
The table also shows that the maximum queue for the northbound through lane exceeds the
proposed storage between Town Center Parkway and the northbound ramps. The animation
showed that this queue was not a "standing" queue that blocked the intersection of Town Center
Parkway. Instead the queues cleared quickly and did not block the intersection. The reported
average queue at this location was 267 feet, which is less than the proposed storage. A review of
the volume to capacity ratios and critical lane volumes also showed acceptable operation.
Lake Drive and Town Center Parkway: The analysis showed that the southbound dual left turn
lanes had maximum queues of 203 and 215 feet, respectively. These queues exceed the proposed
180 -foot storage lanes. The reported average queues for these lanes were less than 150 feet,
which is less than the proposed storage. Review of the simulation showed that the queue did not
interfere with system operations over the analysis hour.
Table 2 also shows that the westbound left and right -turn lanes exiting the development have
maximum queues that exceed the 275 feet of proposed storage between Lake Drive and Village
City of Lino Lakes
Legacy at Woods Edge — Traffic Operations Analysis

Page 4
Drive. The average queues reported for the left and right turn lane are 144 and 222 feet
respectively. The animation showed that this queue is not typically a "standing" queue as it
cleared quickly the majority of the time but at times over the analysis hour it did block Village
Drive. A review of the volume to capacity ratios and critical lane volumes also showed acceptable
operation of the Lake Drive/Town Center Parkway intersection.
2010 Build
This analysis assumes the proposed interim geometric improvements and traffic signals with coordinated
timings at each of the three intersections. The Northbound I -35W entrance ramp was realigned to oppose
the exit ramp. The LOS for the approaches at each of the intersections was LOS D or better, however, the
other tools used to measure traffic operations show 2010 to be the date of failure.
The primary reason for the failure at this date is the lack of capacity on Lake Drive. Due to the existing
bridge over I -35W, Lake Drive traffic is forced into a single lane in each direction. The Town Center
Parkway and Northbound I -35W ramp intersections experience queue and capacity problems because of
the need for additional capacity on Lake Drive. As part of the analysis the signal timings and coordination
were optimized, however this could not mitigate the capacity deficiency on Lake Drive.
The forecast traffic volumes on Lake Drive and the I -35W exit ramps must compete for signal time. At
the intersection of Lake Drive and the Northbound I -35W ramps, the exit ramp and the northbound
through and right -turn lanes have maximum queues that exceed proposed storage. Specifically, the
Northbound I -35W exit ramp experiences a maximum queue that extends into the deceleration area for
the exit ramp. This is not acceptable to Mn/DOT or the Federal Highway Administration due to the
potential to impact freeway operations. In addition the volume to capacity ratios for the left and right turn
lanes on the exit ramp — 0.85 and 0.95 respectively — are nearing 1.0, which indicates capacity problems.
The approach queues for northbound Lake Drive at this intersection extend to the Town Center Parkway
intersection and the animation shows that it will interfere with intersection operations. The northbound
through lane has a volume to capacity ratio of 1.02, which indicates capacity problems. The critical lane
volumes at this intersection also show the potential for a capacity problem as they are near volume limits
for acceptable operations.
Meeting with Mn/DOT
A meeting was held January 29, 2004 with the Mn/DOT Area Engineer and Mn/DOT traffic and freeway
modeling staff to review the analysis and results discussed above. Mn/DOT staff did not request any
additional analysis. The need for an Interchange Access Request (IAR) was discussed due to the proposed
realignment of the Northbound I -35W entrance ramp with the exit ramp. An IAR is required by the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) if a new interchange is proposed or if an existing interchange
configuration is proposed for modification (i.e. converting a diamond interchange to a cloverleaf). The
Mn/DOT Area Engineer contacted the local FHWA representative regarding this issue. FHWA stated that
an IAR would not be necessary. FHWA also stated that documentation must be provided that shows .
traffic will not back up from the ramps onto mainline I -35W and that FHWA needs to review the
modeling results.

Re: Environmental Board Recommendations/January 21, 2004
The Environmental Board made the following recommendations at the January 21,
2004 Environmental Board meeting:
• Landscaping:
• All tree - planting areas should have planting holes prepared as per illustration.
All planting areas where soil compaction is necessary because of buildings and
pavement should use CU structural soils or some other method to allow for
suitable root growth). It would be better to plant smaller trees in CU soils than
larger trees in compacted soils.
• Species selection should combine appropriate native/indigenous species that
complement the native landscape and architectural features. Suggest some
flexibility in street tree planting specifications in order to add .possible traffic
calming features (species and spacing) to the landscape. All trees should be
zone 4 species. Desirable species for Legacy:
• Oaks ( Red, Northern pin, White, Burr and Swamp white)
Red maple /Acer rubrum (North woods, Red maple, Autumn spire, Fire dance,
North fire, Red sunset).
Autumn blaze (do not over use)
Birch ( River, Paper)
Common hackberry
• Thornless Cockspur Hawthorn
• Green ash ( Green, Bergeson, Marshall's, Patmore, Summit)
• Honeylocust/Thomless
• Larch
• Flowering crab (Dolgo, Donald Wyman, Flame, Indian magic, Kelsey, Pink spire,
Radiant, Red splendor, Snowdfirt, Sparkler, Spring snow,
• Quaking aspen
• Linden ( American, Redmond)
• Elm ( Discovery, Accolade, or other disease resistant zone 4 elms)
• Pines ( White, Red, Austrian along freeway if pines are planned there)
• Spruce (white)
• All shrubs should be zone 4 suitable and non - invasive.
• It is encouraged to use native flower and ground cover plants as much as
possible. The use of cultivars should be permitted as long as such cultivars are
non- invasive. •
• All native seed areas should approximate the City specifications for seed. . It is
encouraged to use potted plants and/or plugs as much as possible.
• Vines. The Environmental Board has stated an interest in the use of vines on
building surfaces.
• All planting areas should have available water.
• Plantings on poles should have available water.
• Electricity for accent lighting should be available throughout the planting areas.
• Trails
• All future trail extensions should be placed off-of eco- edges.
• Site soils
• Any soils that are not intended to be compacted should be protected from
unnecessary compaction (infiltration areas, pond and park areas).
• Pursue a conservation easement on the SE comer of the project.
• Use landscape lighting only in the common areas, interior to buildings. Use solar
powered lights if possible.
In addition, the Environmental Board wished to carry forward previous
recommendations made during the review process. These recommendations
included:
Best management practices for surface water quality should be initiated and
integrated into the predicted phosphorous exports for the site. Best management
practices should include periodic and timely sweepings to capture sediment laden
•
•
phosphorous on impervious surfaces. A vacuum type sweeper is a better tool for
removing phosphorous deposits on impervious surfaces. Best management
practices should also include the elements sited in the plan for Market Place north of
35W.
All lighting should be constructed in accordance with the requirements of the Lino
Lakes Zoning Ordinance.
In all cases, city standards for tree preservation should be implemented. If trees are
moved, than storage area needs to be designated until the planting areas are ready.
(Usually tree removal happens before initial grading operations).
Motion by O'Connell, second by O'Dea to recommend approval of the Legacy
project with above recommendations. All were in favor. Motion passed.
