ATTEST: Joh Bergeson, (yor Ann Blair, City "¢Ierk STAFF ORIGINATOR: CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: TOPIC: AGENDA ITEM 7D Michael Grochala March 8, 2004 1st Reading, Ordinance No. 04 -04 - Rezoning to Planned Unit Development; Resolution No. 04 -33 - Development Stage Plan /Preliminary Plat Approval; 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. City Council Legacy at Woods Edge March 8, 2004 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.

Preliminary Streetscaping Plan (Areas 1 through 4) , dated November 25, 2001 Project Data: Total Site Area: 42.05 acres (58.82 including Civic Complex & YMCA) Upland Area 34.55 acres Number of residential units: 450 Commercial sq. ft. 348,492 sq. ft. Net Residential Density: 13.02 units per acre •' City Council Legacy at Woods Edge March 8, 2004 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. 10 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. 12 City Council Legacy at Woods Edge March 8, 2004 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, 2004. Staff will continue to work with the Park Board during final design of the "community green" and during review of the residential component of the development. Planning and Zoning Board The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the request at its February 11, 2004 meeting. The board recommended approval of the Rezoning and the Development Stage Plan /Preliminary Plat with conditions. The board's conditions of approval are incorporated into the staff recommendation. City Department Reviews CEPTED. A preliminary CEPTED review was completed, dated November 16, 2003 and is attached for your review. 13 City Council Legacy at Woods Edge March 8, 2004 Public Services Community Development staff is working with the public services department on issues related to maintenance, snow plowing etc. Minor roadway geometric changes will be made during the final design process. Staff is anticipating addressing maintenance impacts as part of the economic review of the process prior to final plan /final plat approval. Centennial Fire Department Community Development staff has worked with the Centennial Fire Department to address Emergency Vehicle Access and routing. The proposed design incorporates their modifications Agency Reviews Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). The RCWD reviewed the Grading Plan and Stormwater Management Plan at its January 28, 2004 board meeting. The board approved a CAPROC (Conditional Approval Pending Receipt Of Changes) with nine conditions. Detailed plans and specifications will be required prior to commencement of roadway and /or storm sewer infrastructure improvements. Anoka County Plans have been forwarded to Anoka County for review. Conditions of approval will include the requirements set forth by Anoka County. Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn /DOT) Plans have been forwarded to Mn /DOT for review. Staff reviewed the traffic simulation with Mn /DOT officials on January 29, 2004. Further evaluation with Mn /DOT will take place as part of the Feasibility Study and public improvement plan development. FINDINGS Rezoning to Planned Unit Development. The City shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment and its judgement shall be based upon, the criteria established in Section 2, Subdivision 1.E. of the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance. 1. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the specific policies and provision of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed mixed use development is compatible with present and future land uses of the area. 3. The proposed development conforms to all performance standards contained within the zoning ordinance. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property subject to the roadway improvements proposed for the development and Lake Drive. 14 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. 15 City Council Legacy at Woods Edge March 8, 2004 Rezoning to Planned Unit Development Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 04 -04 rezoning the property from LB, Limited Business to Planned Unit Development and approving the corresponding development standards.

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. Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc., 3535 Vadnais Center Drive, St. Paul, MN 55110 -5196 SEH is an equal opportunity employer 1 www.sehinc.com f 651.490.2000 1 800.325.2055 1 651.490.2150 fax City of Lino Lakes Legacy at Woods Edge — Traffic Operations Analysis February 11, 2004 Page 2 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 February 11, 2004 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 February 11, 2004 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.

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. • Page 3 ARCWIECTIENEINCER DEVELCIPGR HARTFORD *w I., • Ye mW • EfRCCNRK MINOR Irdirranusehaig sx-r owxeR LEGACY � AT LLC MASTER SITE PLAN AT LEGACY AT WOODS EDGE 1.11.1.45A6 Wean.
