1. Fire Station Preliminary Design — Present were Quinn Hutson of CNH Architects
and firm representative Brooke Jacobson. Ms. Jacobson reviewed a presentation
document (on file). She indicated that much of the design information is the same as
what was presented to the council on October 13 and there is some new information on
options as well. She reviewed the revised space needs program, a site development
update, a revised preliminary site plan, in -station training features and revised floor plan
options. They are also requesting council review of couple of exterior options. There
will also be review of the revised cost estimates.
Regarding training elements, Chief Swenson noted information requested by the council
on the cost of outsourcing fire personnel training (through a cooperative); the cost is $200
per member plus consumables and instructor fees, for an estimated total of $9,000 per
year base rate plus the extras and the cost of staff time. Ms. Jacobson noted benefits of
having on-site training (having staff on site for emergencies, cost savings, ability to train
at any time, possible revenue) and then reviewed the training elements possible in a new
station.
Ms. Jacobson reviewed the revised floor plan. It includes office space for the new chief
and space for administration related to paid on-call employees working out of the facility.
Ms. Jacobson reviewed two exterior options. There were suggestions to include some
additional architectural features to the training tower. Ms. Jacobson discussed how plans
would minimize the view of rooftop utilities.
Ms. Jacobson reviewed the new price estimate and noted that it includes site work around
the station, the minimal soil corrections identified, the actual building itself, some design
contingency and inflation. The difference in the two designs is approximately $10,000,
with one design having more glass view. The council discussed the need to plan for
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION November 3, 2014

46 adequate storage. The quality of the product will be an important element also; the
47 station must last a long time.
48
49 The council discussed paying for the station. The city will have funds available that were
50 being paid to the Centennial Fire District.
51
52 la. Presentation from Scott Bocklund, TetraKO- Council Member Roeser noted that
53 became familiar with this company through a business recognition program; this
54 company of excellence was a winner of the competition. Mayor Reinert noted that this
55 city council is forward -thinking and makes decisions based on education and what's right
56 for this city. The council is interested in knowing more about this company.
57
58 Mr. Bocklund noted his familiarity with fire depailments and how they are set up. He's
59 looked at Lino Lakes and see its character and its interest in the environment. His
60 company has been recognized for its innovation. He gave a presentation showing the use
61 of his product (in the city of Blaine), the basics of stopping a fire, the benefits of using the
62 product, the science of the product, it's biodegradability and environmental safety, and
63 what is involved in using the product with fire equipment.
64
65 2. PUD Concept Plan for Watermark Residential Subdivision — City Planner Larsen
66 introduced Rick Packer, representing the developer. Ms. Larsen indicated that the
67 council is being asked to review this development as a formal concept plan. The council
68 and advisory boards have already reviewed the preliminary concept. She reviewed the
69 elements — number of units, aerial of location, concept of plans, transportation, parks,
70 storm water management, trails and other amenities. This plan (as compared to the
71 former Hardwood Creek plan) adds a ten acre parcel and may require a comp plan
72 amendment. She noted that density plans are included in the city's comp plan and the
73 densities planned for this area. The density calculation for this development is 2.35
74 (gross density) and 3.04 (net density). There is no commercial components, as was
75 included in the original Hardwood Creek proposal. She reviewed the proposed lot sizes
76 and some views of how the lots sizes work out with home footprints. There was
77 discussion about:
78 the ability to market townhomes;
79 value elements to buyers (according to Mr. Packer, backing up to woods and
80 trails);
81 the varying lot sizes;
82 street, sidewalk and trail plans;
83 commercial possibilities in the development and in the area.
84
85 Mayor Reinert expressed concern about the lack of change from the last review of the
86 project. The project looks "off weight" for Lino Lakes. Community Development
87 Director Grochala noted that the area is generally guided for medium density and that is
88 what the plans indicate.
89
90 The council discussed:

91 Commercial development possibilities;
92 Townhome location;
93 Lot sizes, street widths and setbacks;
94 The parkland should be developed early and there is funding in first phase to do
95 so; trails would be included;
96 Density requirements are linked to Comp Plan but that can be amended;
97 20th Avenue traffic; a traffic analysis will be included;
98 Noise walls.
99
100 Council members expressed interest in a tour of the type of properties being proposed.
101
102 Mr. Packer asked for further direction from the council: Council Member Stoesz is
103 cognizant that the market drives development and he wants project that is viable long -
104 term. Council Member Roeser prefers bigger lots throughout but can understand that
105 isn't always possible; he agrees with the Mayor that the models are not correctly located
106 for the long term. Council Member Rafferty said he has to actually see what proposed lot
107 sizes looks like when built (he will participate in a tour). There was concurrence that
108 commercial will not be included.
109
110 3. 2015 Budget Discussion — Finance Director Rolek noted information provided in the
111 council packet updating the proposed 2015 budget based on council discussions to date.
112 A new gap analysis is included with changes highlighted. He explained the impact that
113 the transfer from the Closed Bond Fund would have on the tax rate and tax levy.
114
115 Administrator Karlson indicated that staff has sought to find recommendations for
116 reducing the start-up costs for the new fire department. They are recommending
117 reductions in consultant fees and salary costs (incentives), a reduction of about $48,000.
118 He noted possible savings of $40,000 by delaying the hiring of the Assistant City
119 Administrator position. Those savings would close the unfunded gap.
120
121 Mr. Rolek moved to review of the Water and Sewer Funds. The rates for 2015 have
122 already been approved by the council and they will adequately cover budget needs. Mr.
123 Rolek provided a review of the funds noting capital needs in the future. Tim
124 Hillesheim, Utilities Supervisor, explained the capital needs, and funding and grant
125 possibilities. The council concurred with the budget plans for the funds.
126
127 The council concurred on the adjustments proposed by staff to the General Fund. Based
128 on tonight's discussion, Director Rolek will start preparing for the budget public hearing
129 in December without returning for additional direction.

65 the restructuring within the Public Safety Division that incorporates fire services includes one Public
66 Safety Captain position that supervises work in both fire and police services. That budgeted position
67 is currently vacant and, after an extensive process, he is recommending the promotion of Wayne

Appointment of Donald Jensen to Public Services — Park
Maintenance Position
The Council is being asked to approve the appointment of Donald Jensen for the vacant park
maintenance position in the Public Services Department.
BACKGROUND
Mr. Jensen has resided in Lino Lakes since 1989 and has worked for the Parks and Recreation
Department since 1999. He has performed a variety of tasks for the Parks Division including
mowing, athletic field preparation and maintenance, landscape maintenance, rink flooding and
clearing, and trail plowing. His employment with the Recreation Division has included softball
umpire, basketball official, scorekeeper, special events worker, skating instructor, and warming
house attendant. Mr. Jensen has demonstrated a great work ethic the past 15 years and we are
excited to have him be part of our maintenance staff on a full-time basis.
The Local 49 union contract stipulates that all time worked in a temporary or seasonal position
is applied for the purpose of pay progression and benefits. Therefore, Donald is credited with
six years of service with the City and will start at the base rate for a full time general
maintenance position, which is $25.34 per hour.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the appointment of Donald Jensen, effective December 1, 2014.

Degradation Fee Formula:
This formula covers degradation for depreciation caused by intrusion into the right-of-way. The
depreciation applies to the original surface of the right-of-way and to the overlays and seal -coats applied to
the surface. The formula includes life expectancy schedules for each and has an estimated cost per square yard
based on the quality of the right-of-way surface required for different levels of traffic. This formula creates a
degradation fee which is determined by the cost per square yard for street, overlay, and seal -coat, multiplied by the
depreciation schedule, multiplied by the area of the street patch.
Degradation Fee: (cost per square yard for street overlay, and seal -coat x depreciation schedule rates)
x area of street patch = degradation fee.

BACKGROUND
The applicant has submitted a land use application for final plat for Lino Lakes Development.
This is the proposed location of White Pine Senior Living, a 39 -unit assisted -living facility.
The following staff report is based on the revised plan set dated October 14, 2014 prepared by
River Valley Architects and CEI Engineering Associates, Inc. and received by the City on
October 15, 2014.
In November 2014, the City Council approved the following:
• 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 11-14 Rezoning Certain Real Property from GB, General
Business to R-4, High Density Residential District
• Resolution No. 14-132 Approving Preliminary Plat, Lino Lakes Development
• Resolution No. 14-133 Approving Conditional Use Permit for an Assisted -Living Facility
Staff has reviewed and approved a Site Plan Review for White Pine Senior Living.
The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed and recommended approval of the final plat at the
November 12, 2014 meeting.
Analysis
Subdivision Ordinance
Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code
The final plat has been reviewed for compliance with the comprehensive plan, zoning and
subdivision ordinance. The subdivision is not considered premature, is consistent with the
comprehensive plan for mixed-use development and meets the performance standards of the
subdivision and zoning ordinance. The final plat is also consistent with the preliminary plat.
Blocks and Lots
The project requires the platting of two (2) existing parcels and dedication of right -of way along
77th Street and Lake Drive (CSAH 23). The final plat creates Lot 1, Block 1, Lino Lakes
Development.

Streets and Alleys
CSAH 23 is an "A" minor arterial reliever road. 77th Street and Market Place Drive are local
roads. The main entrance to the site is at CSAH 23 and Market Place Drive which is a signalized
intersection capable of handling additional traffic to the site. A secondary driveway access is
provided off of 77th Street; however, the right in -right only onto 77th Street from CSAH 23 will
limit traffic use on 77th Street. The existing road system is capable of handling traffic generated
from the development.
The City, WSB Traffic Engineer, Anoka County and Police Department analyzed the need for a
right turn lane on CSAH 23/Lake Drive at 77th Street. It was determined a turn lane was not
warranted. The driveway access onto 77th Street shall be egress only and signed "Exit Only" to
eliminate the need for assisted -living traffic to turn right onto 77th Street from CSAH 23. Traffic
will continue to have full access at CSAH 23 and Market Place Drive.
Easements
A drainage and utility easement of 10 feet and 25 feet wide are provided along the interior
perimeter of the lot.
Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control
Storm water quality requirements will be achieved using a surface pond providing infiltration.
The "A" soils are conducive to this type of stormwater management. This pond will infiltrate the
required water quality volume (2.5 inches of rainfall over the drainage area) and route storms
exceeding this runoff volume through a control structure in the pond. A control elevation will be
established at the quality volume for discharges above this amount of runoff. For informative
purposes the 1 -year storm precipitation amount is less than the required quality runoff, thus no
discharge from the pond is anticipated from this storm event.
Utilities
Utilities will connect to existing mains; water along CSAH 23, sewer to the main on 77th Street,
and stormwater to an existing catch basin on CSAH 23. Electric and telephone will connect on
an existing pole on 77th Street and gas will connect to an existing main running just south of the
property. The parking lot will be graded so as to drain to a series of catch basins. The roof runoff
will be collected and conveyed underground to the proposed stormwater pond on the west side of
the property.
Public Land Dedication
The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication. The assisted -living facility will be
considered commercial for the purpose of calculation park dedication fees.
3
Park Dedication Fees
1.90 acres x $2,175 per acre =
$4,133
Tree Preservation
The preliminary plat identifies 18 trees on site. The demolition plan indicates the removal of
approximately 4 trees and undergrowth shrubs within the non -ESA Basic Use Area. No tree
mitigation is required.
Landscaping
A Landscaping Plan has been submitted and reviewed. Details and required revisions can be
found in the Site Plan Worksheet.
Comprehensive Plan
The proposed final plat for the construction of an assisted -living facility is in compliance with
the Comprehensive Plan in terms of Resource Management System, Land Use Plan, Housing
Plan, and Transportation Plan.
Wetlands
There are no wetlands on the parcel.
Floodplain
There is no floodplain on the parcel.
Development Contract
A Development Contract shall be drafted by the City, executed by the City and the developer and
recorded by the developer.
Stormwater Maintenance Agreement
The White Pine Senior Living project includes the construction of a stormwater pond to convey
surface water and provide water treatment prior to entering public waters. A Declaration for
Maintenance of Stormwater Facilities shall be required.

ORDINANCE NO. 11-14
ORDINANCE TO REZONE CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY FROM GB,
GENERAL BUSINESS TO R-4, HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FOR
WHITE PINE SENIOR LIVING
"The City Council of Lino Lakes ordains".
Section 1
The City of Lino Lakes makes the following Findings of Fact:
1. The City received a Land Use Application to rezone certain property from GB,
General Business to R-4, High Density Residential.
2. The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on October 8, 2014.
3. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City
Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed assisted -living facility has been reviewed for compliance with the
comprehensive plan and is consistent for mixed use residential development as noted
in the staff report. Goals of the Housing Plan include improving availability of
affordable and life -cycle housing and enhancing opportunities for senior housing.
Assisted -living facilities are considered housing units. Although the density of the
proposed assisted -living facility is 16.46 units per acre which is greater than the
suggested 15 units per acre, the facility functions as both residential and commercial
(e.g. employers, delivery vehicles, emergency vehicles etc.) Flexibility shall be
allowed for 16.46 units per acre.
4. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the
area.
The proposed assisted -living facility is compatible with present and future land uses.
The property to the north across 77th Street is zoned rural and is guided for
commercial use. Currently, a residential home with an auto -repair business exists on
the site. The property to the east is zoned general business and guided for mixed use.
Currently, a residential home exists on the parcel. The property to the south is zoned
and guided for commercial development. The Market Place commercial development
1
exists to the south. The property to the west across CSAH 23 is zoned NB,
Neighborhood Business and is guided for commercial use. Currently, 2 (two) single
family homes exist west of the highway.
5. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein.
A Site Plan Review has been completed and the proposed facility meets zoning
performance standards in regards to lot size, width and length as well as landscaping
and parking with the approved conditional use permit.
6. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the City's service capacity.
The site is served by a 12 " ductile iron watermain located along CSAH 23 and a 10"
sanitary sewer line located along 77th Street. Both public utilities can accommodate
the demands of the facility.
7. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the
property.
CSAH 23 is an "A" minor arterial reliever road. 77th Street and Market Place Drive
are local roads. The main entrance to the site is from CSAH 23 to Market Place
Drive which is a signalized intersection capable of handling traffic to and from the
development. A secondary driveway access is provided off of 77th Street; however,
the right in -right only onto 77th Street from CSAR 23 will limit traffic use on 77th
Street. Minimal traffic will be generated from the 4-8 staffpersons, visitors and one
time per week deliveries.

AGENDA ITEM 6B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Celeste McDermott
MEETING DATE: November 24, 2014
TOPIC: i. Consider 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 10-14,
Amendment to Chapter 1007 of the City Code- Zoning
Ordinance.
ii. Consider Resolution No. 14-140 Approving Summary
Publication of Ordinance No. 10-14.
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to amend the City Code- Zoning Ordinance and
approve the ordinance for purposes for publication.
BACKGROUND
The City Council approved the 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 10-14 on November 10, 2014.
The 2nd Reading is required for adoption of the ordinance.
The Planning & Zoning Board held public hearing on October 8, 2014. There were no public
comments. The Planning & Zoning Board made recommendation to the City Council to
approve the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance.
The City Council adopted the recodification of the City Code in November of 2009. The Lino
Lakes Zoning Code was adopted in Chapter 1007 by reference. The existing Zoning Ordinance
currently follows a different format than the City Code. To provide consistency with the City
Code, staff is proposing to reformat the Zoning Ordinance to match the same format.
Changes to the code are limited to changes in the numbering system. References within the
document have also been changed to reflect the new numbering system. The only text change
proposed is to Section 5 Subdivision 1.G.8.a. to strike language referencing a section that is no
longer in the Zoning Ordinance as follows:
8. Public and private airports provided that:
relating to airport zoning are satisfactorily met.
Due to the length of the document, one hard copy will be available for reference at the meeting
and an electronic copy is posted to the City's website in the City Council packet. The amended
Table of Contents is attached.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the 2nd Reading of Ordinance 10-14 and adoption of
resolution No. 14-140.

TITLE /APPLICATION/ RULES
§ 1007.000 TITLE AND APPLICATION.

(p) Defining the powers and duties of the administrative officers and bodies, as
provided hereinafter.
(3) Application.
(a) In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this Ordinance shall be
held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, and welfare.
(b) Where the conditions imposed by any provisions of this Ordinance are either more
restrictive or less restrictive than comparable conditions imposed by any other law ordinance,
statute, resolution, or regulation, the regulations which are more restrictive, or which impose
higher standards or requirements shall prevail.
(c) Except as in this Ordinance specifically provided, no structure shall be erected,
converted, enlarged, reconstructed or altered, and no structure or land shall be used for any
purpose nor in any manner which is not in conformity with this Ordinance.
(4) Relation to Comprehensive Municipal Plan. It is the policy of the City of Lino Lakes
that the enforcement, amendment, and administration of this Ordinance be accomplished with
due consideration of the recommendations contained in the City Comprehensive Plan as
developed and amended from time to time by the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council.
The Council recognizes the Comprehensive Plan as the policy for responsibility to regulate land
use and development in accordance with the policies and purpose herein set forth.
(5) Uses Not Provided for Within Zoning Districts. In any zoning district, whenever a
proposed use is neither specifically allowed nor denied, the City Council shall determine if the
proposed use is comparable in potential activities and impacts to a use listed within the zoning
district and is acceptable related to land use compatibility, traffic, and/or nuisance issues and
established conditions and standards relating to development of the use. Where such a
determination is made, the requirements established for the listed use shall apply as minimum
standards for the proposed use. Additional requirements may be applied to address differences
between the listed use and the proposed use.
In such cases where, in the judgment of the City Council, there is no comparable use
listed, the City Council or Planning and Zoning Board, on their own initiative or upon request
from the property owner, may conduct a study to determine if the proposed use is acceptable and,
if so, what zoning district would be most appropriate and what conditions and standards should
apply to the proposed use. The City Council, Planning and Zoning Board, or property owner, on
receipt of the staff study, may initiate an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance consistent with §
1007.015 of this Ordinance to provide for the particular use under consideration or shall find that
the proposed use is not compatible for development within the City.
(6) Separability. It is hereby declared to be the intention that the several provisions of this
Ordinance are separable in accordance with the following:
1-2
(a) If any court or competent jurisdiction shall adjudge any provision of this Ordinance
to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect any other provision of this Ordinance not
specifically included in such judgment.
(b) If any court or competent jurisdiction shall adjudge invalid the application of any
provision of this Ordinance to a particular property, building, or structure, such judgment shall
not affect other property, buildings or structures.
(7) Authority. This Ordinance is enacted pursuant to the authority granted by the
Municipal Planning Act, Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.351 to 462.363.
(8) Comprehensive Revision. This Ordinance shall be a comprehensive revision to
Ordinance 09-97, adopted July 14, 1997, of the City Code, as amended. Any act done, offense
committed, or rights accruing or accrued, or liability, penalty incurred or imposed prior to the
effective date of this Ordinance is not affected by its enactment.

permit, interim use permit, variance, administrative permit, or site and building plan review shall

In accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, the City Council may from time to
time amend the Zoning Ordinance text or map (rezoning). Amendments may be initiated by City
Council, Planning and Zoning Board, or property owner. The procedure for an amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance or Zoning District Map (rezone) shall be as follows:
(1) Persons wishing to initiate an amendment shall submit a "Land Use Application Form"
accompanied by a fee as required in § 1007.000 (9) of this ordinance to be used for the costs of
processing the application. The Land Use Application Form shall be filed with the Zoning
Administrator. The request for amendment shall be placed on the agenda of the Planning and
Zoning Board according to the City's deadline and meeting schedule. The request shall be
considered officially submitted and the application approval time line commences when all the
information requirements are complied with.
(2) Property owners or occupants within six hundred (600) feet of any property proposed
for zoning district amendment (rezoning) shall be notified in writing, although failure by any
property owner to receive notification shall not invalidate the proceedings, provided that proof of
an attempt at notification has been made. Notification shall be by first-class mail. A notice shall
be published in the newspaper and mailed to property owners at least ten (10) days prior to the
day of the public hearing. Such notification shall include the Affidavit of Mailing completed by
the City and a list of all persons who have been notified pursuant to this section. In the case of
rezoning shoreland, as defined by Lino Lakes Ordinance, all property owners or occupants of
property, which abut the shoreline, shall be notified in writing of any property proposed for any
zoning district amendment (rezoning), even though their property may be beyond the six hundred
(600) feet previously contemplated in this section.
(3) Depending on the project and as determined by the Community Development Director,
either site and building plans consistent with the requirements established in § 1007.020 or
information required by Chapter 1000 of the City Code for a plat submittal, shall be provided
prior to Planning and Zoning Board review.
(4) The Zoning Administrator shall instruct the appropriate staff persons to prepare
technical reports where appropriate, and provide general assistance in preparing a
recommendation of the action to the City Council.
(5) The Planning and Zoning Board shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed

within sixty (60) days of receiving all required information. The sixty (60) day time limit starts
over only if the City sends notice, within ten (10) business days, of receipt of the request, telling
the applicant what information is missing. The City may extend the sixty (60) day time limit
before the end of such time limit by providing written notice of the extension to the applicant.
The notification shall state the reasons for the extension and its anticipated length, which may
not exceed sixty (60) days, unless approved by the applicant. Failure of the City Council to deny
an application within sixty (60) days is approval of the request. If the City Council denies a
request, it shall state in writing the reasons for the denial at the time it denies the request.
(8) Approval of a proposed amendment shall require passage by a majority vote of all
members of the City Council except that the adoption or amendment of any portion of a zoning

§ 1007.016 ADMINISTRATION: CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS.
(1) General Statement. Certain uses, while generally not suitable in a particular zoning
district, may under some circumstances be suitable. When such circumstances exist, a
conditional use permit may be granted. Conditions may be applied to issuance of the permit and
an annual review of the permit shall be required. The permit shall be granted for a particular use
and not for a particular person or firm. Conditional use permits may be granted in accordance
with this subdivision for any use or purpose for which such permits are required or permitted by
this ordinance or as listed as a conditional use for the zoning districts provided in § 1007.080
through §1007.132 of this ordinance.

permit and the Council shall order the issuance of such permit only if it finds the following
criteria have been met:
1. The proposed development application has been found to be consistent with the
policies and recommendations of the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan including:
a. Land Use Plan.
2-3
b. Transportation Plan.
c. Utility (Sewer and Water) Plans.
d. Local Water Management Plan.
e. Capital Improvement Plan.
f. Policy Plan.
a. Natural Environment Plan.
2. The proposed development application is compatible with present and future land
uses of the area.
3. The proposed development application conforms to performance standards
herein and other applicable City Codes.
4. Traffic generated by a proposed development application is within the
capabilities of the City when:
a. If the existing level of service (LOS) outside of the proposed subdivision is A
or B, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service more than
one grade.
b. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is C, traffic generated
by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below C.
c. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is D, traffic generated
by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below D.
d. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections
providing access to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F, the subdivision
developer must provide, as part of the proposed project, improvements needed to ensure a level
of service D or better.
e. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision must
have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed subdivision or
the developer will pay to correct any structural deficiencies.
f. The traffic generated from a proposed subdivision shall not require City

However, the City may, at its discretion, consider developer -financed improvements to correct
any street deficiencies.
g. The LOS requirements in paragraphs 1. to 4. above do not apply to the I-
35W/Lake Drive or I-35E/Main St. interchanges. At City discretion, interchange impacts must
2-4
be evaluated in conjunction with Anoka County and the Minnesota Dept. of Transportation, and
a plan must be prepared to determine improvements needed to resolve deficiencies. This plan
must determine traffic generated by the subdivision project, how this traffic contributes to the
total traffic, and the time frame of the improvements. The plan also must examine financing
options, including project contribution and cost sharing among other jurisdictions and other
properties, that contribute to traffic at the interchange.
h. The City does not relinquish any rights of local determination.
i. The proposed development shall be served with adequate and safe water
supply.
j. The proposed development shall be served with an adequate and safe sanitary

extension to the applicant. The notification must state the reasons for the extension and its
anticipated length, which may not exceed sixty (60) days, unless approved by the applicant.
Failure of the City Council to deny an application within sixty (60) days is approval of the
request. If the City Council denies a request, it must state in writing the reasons for the denial at
the time it denies the request.
(j) Following approval of the conditional use permit, the City shall file a certified copy
thereof including a legal description of the property with the County Recorder and/or Registrar of

use permit, or if substantial construction has not taken place within three (3) years after the date
2-5
of issuance of the conditional use permit, the permit is void. A conditional use specified in the
permit expires if, for any reason, the authorized use ceases for more than one (1) year.

shall be administered in a manner similar to that required for a conditional use permit.
(n) All uses existing as of July 14, 1997 that are included in the list of conditional uses
for the zoning district in which they are located shall be considered as having a conditional use
permit which contains conditions that permit the land use and structures as they existed on said
date. Any enlargement, structural alteration, or intensification of such use shall require an
amended conditional use permit as provided for above.
(o) No application for a conditional use permit shall be resubmitted for a period of
twelve (12) months from the date of said order of denial.
(3) Revocation. If an approved conditional use permit is in violation of this Ordinance or

§ 1007.024 PUD, Planned Unit Development.
(1) Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this section of the Zoning Ordinance is to provide
for the grouping of lots or buildings for development as an integrated, coordinated unit as
opposed to traditional parcel by parcel, piecemeal, or sporadic approach to development. This
section is intended to introduce flexibility of site design and architecture for the conservation of
land and open space through clustering of lots, buildings and activities, which promote the goals
outlined in the Comprehensive Plan or serve another public purpose. It is further intended that
planned unit developments are to be characterized by central management, integrated planning
and architecture, joint and common use and maintenance of parking, open space and other
similar facilities, and harmonious selection and efficient distribution of uses.
A residential conditional use permit PUD may include a variety of residential units, including
single family and multifamily units as long as it complies with the density requirements. A non-
residential conditional use permit PUD may include a variety of commercial and/or industrial
uses. A PUD that includes a mix of residential and commercial/industrial uses must utilize the
PUD zoning district as described in § 1007.132 of this ordinance.
The PUD, by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this Ordinance related to
setbacks, heights, lot area, width and depths, yards, etc., by conditional use permit or a mixture of
uses by rezoning to a PUD District, is intended to encourage:
(a) A development pattern in harmony with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
(b) Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of
economic expansion, greater variety in type, design, architectural standards, and siting of
structures through the conservation and more efficient use of land in such developments.
(c) The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing
vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion.
(d) A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and
orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other.
(e) An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby
lowering development costs and public investments.
(f) Promotion of a desirable and creative environment that might be prevented through
the strict application of City zoning and subdivision regulations.
(2) General Requirements and Standards for a PUD.
(a) Ownership. An application for PUD approval shall be filed by the landowner or
jointly by all landowners of the property included in a project. The application and all
submissions shall be directed to the development of the property as a unified whole. In the case
of multiple ownership, the approved PUD shall be binding on all owners.
2-31
(b) Comprehensive Plan Consistency. The proposed PUD shall be consistent with the
City Comprehensive Plan.
(c) Public or Common Open Space. Public or common open space at least sufficient
to meet the minimum requirements established in this Ordinance and such complementary

the residents of the PUD shall be provided within the area of the PUD.
(d) Operating and Maintenance Requirements for PUD Common Open
Space/Facilities. Whenever common open space or service facilities are provided within the
PUD, the PUD plan shall contain provisions to assure the continued operation and maintenance

declaration or document or floor plans with the recording officers of Anoka County, Minnesota.
b. Open space may be owned in common by the property owners created
through subdivision of the original tract. Management shall be the responsibility of that
subdivision's homeowner association. In the case where at least one (1) open space is held in

activity that requires a permit or approval from the City is occurring, the removal of trees is not
subject to tree preservation and mitigation standards.
11. Replacement trees shall be planted on site.
12. The applicant may request to pay a fee per tree in lieu of some or all of the trees
required for mitigation. At the City's discretion, the City may accept the fee for planting trees
within the general area of the development project. The City shall maintain a standard fee per

4. For a new plat or new Planned Unit Development, the tree survey shall be one
plan sheet and the tree preservation plan shall be a separate plan sheet.
5. For a building permit for a new structure on an existing lot, the tree survey and
preservation information may be included on the lot survey typically required for a building
permit instead of on a separate document. For a building permit for an addition to an existing
3-40
structure, the tree survey information may be provided in an informal medium that sufficiently
conveys the information.
6. At the City's discretion, the tree survey requirement may be waived under the
following circumstances:

identified drip line of the trees (Root Protection Zone) prior to soil disturbance. Fencing shall be
a minimum of 4' high and of a highly visible material, such as snow fence or polyethylene
laminar safety netting, and must be standing throughout the construction process. Cut roots with
clean, pruning cuts at the fence line prior to fence installation to avoid later tearing of the roots.
Signage shall be installed to instruct workers to stay out of the Root Protection Zone.
2. Areas where development must encroach upon the root protection zone must be
identified on the tree preservation plan in which case the fencing shall be installed at that edge.
3. No actions that may harm the health of the tree, including but not limited to
construction, traffic, compaction, storage of equipment or materials including soil, grading, or
concrete washout areas may occur in the Root Protection Zone.

shall determine the appropriate location, size and design of each access drive and may limit the
number of access drives in the interest of public safety and efficient traffic flow.
4. Street/Alley Access. Except in the case of single, two family, townhouse and
quadraminium dwellings, parking areas shall be designed so that circulation between parking
bays or aisles occurs within the designated parking lot and does not depend upon a public street
or alley. Except in the case of single, two family, townhouse, and quadraminium dwellings,
parking area design which requires backing into the public street is prohibited. New residential
subdivisions shall be designed to limit direct lot access onto any street shown as a collector or
arterial roadway on the City's Transportation Plan.

the intersection of two (2) or more local or minor street rights-of-way. This distance shall be
measured from the intersection of lot lines. Curb cut/driveway access setbacks from the
intersection of streets with higher functional classifications shall be consistent with the
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan and require approval by the City Engineer.
i. Street functional classification shall be defined by the Lino Lakes
Comprehensive Plan.
ii. The setback measurement shall be measured from the edge of the street
right-of-way to the nearest edge of the curb cut.
iii. Driveways onto arterials and major collectors shall be prohibited where
alternative street access is available. For existing lots of record, where alternative access is not
available, direct access onto arterial and major collectors may be permitted, provided a site plan
is submitted for review and approval of the City Engineer. Approval is also subject to the
conditions of this Ordinance.
b. Curb cut/driveway access on a public street except for single, two family, and
townhouse dwellings shall not be located less than forty (40) feet from one another.

Dear Mr. Grochala:
We appreciate the opportunity to provide this proposal for civil design services.
Birch Street/Centerville Road Bypass/Turn Lanes
The scope of services for the design of two turn lanes and a bypass lane includes the preparation
of construction documents for the proposed fire station access points within the right of way of
Birch Street (CSAR 10) and Centerville Road (CSAH 21). Our design services include
construction plans, permitting, a project manual (specifications) and assistance with project
bidding. Please note that these lanes are to be constructed within wetlands and additional design
will be required. The engineering fee to complete the described design services above is
$49,500. The proposed design has not been determined and the engineering fees are based on
preliminary information.
Birch Street Sanitary Sewer Extension
The scope of services for sanitary sewer extension include the preparation of construction
documents for approximately 2200 linear feet of sanitary sewer within the right of way of Birch
Street (CSAH 10). For purposes of this proposal, it is assumed that reconstruction of Birch Street
is not necessary and the sanitary sewer crossings will be directionally drilled. Our design
services include construction plans, a project manual (specifications) and assistance with project
bidding. The engineering fee to complete the described design services above is $9,900. The
proposed design has not been determined and the engineering fees are based on preliminary
information. An estimate for providing a topographic survey along Birch Street and Centerville
Road would be an additional $2,800.

Watermain Extension through Site
The scope of services for watermain extension include the preparation of construction documents
for approximately 1000 linear feet of watermain southerly from the right of way of Birch Street
(CSAH 10). For purposes of this proposal, it is assumed that reconstruction of Birch Street is not
necessary and the existing 16" DIP watermain within the Birch Street right of way would be wet
tapped and extended southerly. Our design services include construction plans, a project manual
(specifications) and assistance with project bidding. The engineering fee to complete the
described design services above is $5,600. The proposed design has not been determined and the
engineering fees are based on preliminary information.
Birch Street/Centerville Road Wetland Delineation
The scope of services for wetland delineation includes the delineation and documentation of
wetlands for approximately 2,200 linear feet of sanitary sewer within the right of way of Birch
Street (CSAH 10) and in the area of the bypass lanes along Birch Street and Centerville Road.
Our services include performing a Level 2 wetland delineation within the existing right of ways
(75 feet from centerline) of the above described locations, survey of the wetland boundary
(utilizing a Trimble GeoXH GPS Unit), and preparation of a wetland delineation report that will
be submitted to the Local Government Unit and US Army Corps of Engineers for review and
approval. The fee to complete the described services above is $4,600.
As an optional task, WSB & Associates can prepare the necessary wetland permits for construction
of the project. Permits that may be necessary include: Wetland Conservation Act (anticipated No
Loss approval), US Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Permit, Rice Creek Watershed District
Permit, and NPDES — Construction Stormwater Permit. The cost for permitting, which can be
evaluated in detail once the delineation has been approved and construction documents are available,
is anticipated to cost between $4,000 - $6,000. If the city would like an estimate for these services, a
separate proposal can be provided at your request.
Right of Way Acquisition
The scope of services for right of way acquisition along Birch Street (CSAH 10) and Centerville
Road include the following:
- Pre -Acquisition Activities (informational letter, parcel set-up, field title investigation,
landowner meetings, legal descriptions, parcel sketches, survey and minimum damage
acquisition reports - 5 parcels). These parcels include the turn lane construction and
temporary easements for construction of the sanitary sewer.
- Document, Purchase Offer, Negotiation and Closing Files (document preparation, offer
presentation/good faith negotiations, mortgage consents and closing files)
- Appraisal of three properties (direct sub -consultant cost).
The fee to complete the described services above is $22,500.
