The submittal included a six -page plan set with a date of January 13, 2003, and drainage calculations dated January 10, 2003, for the Living Waters Lutheran Church expansion. This existing site didn't have any storm water run off control. The City will require them to only address the drainage for the expansion. Attached is a TKDA memorandum dated January 31, 2003, addressing the drainage design. Sanitary sewer and water services are already servicing the existing building. Driveway access will remain in Its current state. The drop off area should be separated from the main flow of traffic. Upon receiving RCWD approval and addressing the drop off area, we would recommend the acceptance of the expansion to the Living Waters Lutheran Church. • 600 Town Center Parkway, Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014-1182 Phone 651-982-2400 • Fax: 651.982 -2499 • TDD: 651- 982.24t,) EXHIBIT J FEB-04 -2003 11:27 • singimmminue ENDERS.

No 12701 -002 Routing: The following documents, submitted to the City of Lino Lakes, were used to review the Living Waters Lutheran Church expansion plan: Plan Set dated January 13, 2003 from. ATS&R Stormwater Calculations dated January 10, 2003 from ATS&R After reviewing the above documents, I have the following comments. 1. The City is only requiring the area to be disturbed to be submitted in the computations. 2. The maximum increase of .35 cfs over existing conditions does not warrant a separate pond and control structure. Such a control structure would have maintenance issues due to the small apertures needed to control the flow rates. This water discharges to a ditch that ultimately discharges to a pond in the northeast corner of the property. According to conversation with AST&R, the addition of the Sanctuary is the end of Phase 1, and the parking lot and pond were sized for the Phase 1 ultimate have increase. It is realized that if any future expansion happens, that the parking lot and pond size may 2.

There are high- priority protection areas to the North of the existing path. This area should not be disturbed_ • 2. City native seed mix should be used in proposed pond and swale areas. The landscape plan should include building foundation plants. 3. Proposed sod should have at least 4 inches of topsoil thoroughly incorporated into the ground. 8. Any new lighting should follow lighting guidelines in the new Draft Zoning Ordinance. 4. Sugar maples in the plan should be changed to Red maple or Oaks. Motion to approve by Halen, Second by Donlin. All approved. EXHIBIT K • Memorandum To: Michael Grochalla CC: Jeff Smyser From: Marty Asleson Date: 2/4 /2003 Re: Staff Report Recommendations&Bruggeman and living Waters Luther Church/Environmental Board Meeting, January 29, 2003 Staff made the following Recommendations: Living Waters Lutheran Church: Since 1993 (the time The church was built), the Environmental Board has consistently asked new surface water management features to buffer watershed features. The Area to the North is designated' as a High - Priority Protection Area in the Lino Lakes Handbook for Conservation Design. Soils in this area are sandy, and pervious. If an infiltration train were designed into the site plan, there appears to be enough separation between the OHW and a .designed rainpondlswail area. The rain pond area must be in an area where the Seasonally high water table is at least 3 feet from the bottom of the pond. Please refer to (Attachment 8). The seasonally high ground -water level should be verified. Peak flow analysis indicates a .23 cfs increase in water volume flow in a two year event, a .32 cfs increase in water volume flow in a 10 year event, and a .36 increase in water volume flow for a 100 year event for the *entire site. The basin should be designed if possible to accommodate this extra surface water volume, if not for the entire site. Additional ponding is shown in the turf areas. No surface -water analysis information is available at this time. The soil areas around proposed remaining pervious areas should be protected from compaction during construction. A buffer of native plants incorporated Into edges and a surface - water - treatment -train should be planted. Ground story materials should be native in the ponding and drainage areas. All proposed sod areas should have at least 4 inches of topsoil tilled thoroughly into the subsoil as deep as possible. A detailed landscape plan should indicate more foundation plants. A few oak trees should be planted into the surface water treatment areas. Suggest changing the Sugar maples to a variety of Red maple or oak Although there is no proposed lighting for the added space on the church, the possibility exists that there may be a need to light the building in the future. If this should happen, than the lighting should be down ward focused, no -spill type lighting. 1 EXHIBIT L • AGENDA ITEM 7A STAFF ORIGINATOR: CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: TOPIC: REQUESTED ACTION: BACKGROUND Anne Marie Solberg/Bob Kirmis (NAC) March 10, 2003 Living Waters Lutheran Church - Site & Building Plan Review and CUP (to construct a new sanctuary) Resolution 03 -33 3/5 Vote to approve Site & Building Plan/ Conditional Use Permit ATS &R has submitted an application on behalf of Living Waters Lutheran Church for CUP /Site and Building Plan Review for the property located at 865 Birch Street (PID# 28- 31- 22 -32- 0019).

The site is located less than 1,000 feet from Reshanau Lake, a Recreational Development Lake, and is therefore subject to the provisions of the Shoreland Management Overlay District ( "Shoreland District "). The purpose of the Shoreland District is to provide for the wise subdivision, use and development of shorelands of public waters. The Shoreland District standards are applied in addition to standards set forth in other zoning districts. Access /Site Circulation. Access to the site is provided via an existing driveway along CSAH 10. Preliminary review by the Anoka County Highway Department (ACHD) indicates that turn lanes Living Waters Lutheran Church Page 3 may be required as a result of the proposed improvements to the site. Any roadway improvements should be subject to comment and recommendation by the City Engineer and the ACHD. City staff is recommending that the site include a separated drop -off area outside of the drive -aisle to prevent vehicle backup upon CSAH 10 and to promote safety and efficient traffic flow throughout the site. In addition, the applicant has agreed to install a striped pedestrian crossing from the designated disabled parking stalls to the sidewalk. Lot Size and Setbacks.

Conditional Use Permit. As previously indicated, the applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow expansion of an existing church structure within the R -1, Single Family Residential District.

Comment: The proposed use is not anticipated to be detrimental or endanger the public. 2. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific plans and policies of the comprehensive plan of the City and this ordinance. Comment: The Comprehensive Plan suggests public /semipublic use of the site. The Comprehensive Plan contemplates churches within the public /semipublic land use designation. Thus, the proposed land use is harmonious with the land use directives of the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing and/or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. Living Waters Lutheran Church Page 7 Comment: The building design is consistent with material requirements of the Ordinance and therefore will not negatively affect the essential character of the area. In addition, the plans indicate that the building materials for the proposed building addition will match the existing building creating a harmonious exterior appearance. 4. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including street, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use.

Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. Comment: The use of the subject property as a church has not created any excessive externalities that are abnormal to the character of the area and there is no reason to anticipate that the proposed building addition will adversely affect the same. 7. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which are so designed as not to create traffic congestion or an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares. Comment: As referenced above, the plans appear to indicate a new drop off area located directly in the entrance drive aisle that may cause traffic congestion and vehicle backup upon CSAH 10. City staff recommends providing a separated drop - off area outside of the drive -aisle to prevent vehicle backup upon CSAH 10 and to promote safety and efficient traffic flow throughout the site. In addition, preliminary review by the ACRD indicates that turn lanes may be necessary as a result of the proposed improvements to the site and redesign of the existing church entry drive will be examined. Any roadway improvements should be subject to comment and recommendation by the City Engineer and the ACHD. The applicant must comply with any recommendations of and standards imposed by the ACHD.
