Annual Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program, Jim Jacques (TKDA) 108 109 City Engineer Studenski summarized the Staff report, and introduced Jim Jacques from TKDA. 110 11 Mr. Jacques introduced himself, noting his firm did the City's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Aoki 12 Program. He stated that as required under the Clean Water Act, this is the annual public meeting. He 113 reviewed the components of the SWPPP, the items started, and/or those completed in 2005. 114 115 Councilmember O'Donnell indicated this is the second storm water agenda item already this year as 116 the result of Federal and State regulations, and he asked if Mr. Jacques foresees further regulations 117 and mandates that will be further imposed on storm water management. He questioned if the City 118 gets any funding to help deal with the mandates. 119 120 Mr. Jacques stated he does, noting he would expect more regulations from both State and Federal 121 levels. He indicated that cities do not directly get money to help fund the mandates. 122 123 Community Development Director Grochala indicated that the majority of the storm water 124 requirements are paid by development, with the remainder paid by general property taxes. 125 126 Councilmember O'Donnell commented that some cities are looking at a utility fee for storm water 127 management. He stated that he knows no one wants to look at additional tax, but the City Council 128 needs to look at a way to pay for these mandates, and maybe basing it on usage is the best way to do 129 so. He indicated that he believes the feasibility study the City Council directed will be important. 130 131 Councilmember Reinert expressed a point of clarity on the feasibility study, indicating that the utility 132 fee is not a new fee, and the cost is already being paid for by the general fund, which residents pay. 1133 He indicated that the utility fee would be looking at a more fair way of charging everyone, based on 134 usage, and there would not be additional dollars created by the fee. COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2006 APPROVED •135 136 Councilmember Carlson commented that she always gets concerned about looking at a new tax, 137 especially next year when they are looking at a 12.74% increase already, as indicated in the five-year 138 plan draft. 139 140 Councilmember O'Donnell countered that those are projected numbers before they even set the 2007 141 budget, and using the term new tax is misleading when it is something being paid by taxes already. 142 143 City Administrator Heitke clarified that the number mentioned came from a draft document given to 144 the City Council, and has not been approved. He stated that it is also not unusual to see an increase in 145 the dollar amount for services when a city is growing. He indicated that if the City Council 146 remembers from the presentation, the tax rate is actually going down slightly. 147 148 Mayor Bergeson stated that underlying this discussion is the concept of a user fee, which is a common 149 concept in government, used often to finance highways. He indicated that the same concept is what is 150 being proposed here; to charge those that create storm water, which is most of us. 151 152 Mayor Bergeson opened the public hearing at 6:56 p.m. 153 154 Mr. Jacques noted that the MN Pollution Control Board will be voting tonight on a new permit, and 155 over the next 90 days the city will be required to apply for coverage under that permit. Allk156 157 Councilmember Reinert moved to close the public hearing at 6:58 p.m. Councilmember O'Donnell 158 seconded the motion. 159 160 Motion carried unanimously. 161 162 B. Consideration of Resolution No. 06-08, authorizing an agreement with Anoka County 163 for 2006 Residential Recycling Program, Marty Asleson 164 165 Community Development Director Grochala summarized the Staff report, indicating that Staff is 166 recommending approval. 167 168 Councilmember Carlson moved to adopt Resolution No. 06-08 authorizing an agreement with Anoka 169 County for 2006 Residential Recycling Program. Councilmember O'Donnell seconded the motion. 170 171 Motion carried unanimously. 172 173 Resolution No. 06-08 can be found in the City Clerk's office. 174 175 C. Consideration of Resolution No. 06-10, Requesting Speed Study for CSAH 23 (Lake 176 Drive), Michael Grochala 177 •178 Community Development Director Grochala summarized the Staff report, indicating Staff is 179 recommending approval. 4 COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2006 APPROVED *180 181 Councilmember Carlson clarified that the speed study would include 600 additional feet, plus the 182 current 100 feet, for 700 total. Community Development Director Grochala stated that is correct. 183 184 Councilmember O'Donnell moved to adopt Resolution No. 06-10 requesting a Speed Study for 185 CSAH. Councilmember Reinert seconded the motion. 186 187 Motion carried unanimously. 188 189 Resolution No. 06-10 can be found in the City Clerk's office. 190 191 D. Consideration of Resolution No. 06-09, approving the planned unit development — final 192 plan for the YMCA at 725 Town Center Parkway, Paul Bengtson 193 194 City Planner Bengtson summarized the Staff report, indicating Staff is recommending approval. 195 196 Councilmember Carlson noted that the Staff report mentions that a contract was approved for the City 197 to provide land, funds, and utilities in exchange for a YMCA of approximately 50,000 square feet, 198 however the first phase of the development is only 37,304 square feet. She asked to hear from the 199 YMCA on the expansion. 200 .201 Mr. Staley, VP for YMCA, indicated that the first phase is dependent on funds, and as they have done 202 in the past, is about 37,000 square feet. He indicated that the timeline for expansion, based on the pro 203 forma, is between two and five years. 204 205 Councilmember Reinert asked if the YMCA would be willing to commit to no more than five years, 206 since that is the outside number. He asked how the Council could be comfortable with five years if 207 the YMCA is not. 208 209 Mr. Staley indicated everything is based on the pro forma, and how well it does. He stated they 210 always want to expand into a community, but there is never a guarantee. He indicated he would hope 211 the timeframe would be closer to two years, but in good fiduciary responsibility he cannot make 212 guarantees. 213 214 Councilmember Carlson questioned if they needed to make amendments to the contract, however the 215 City Attorney has not seen the contract and could not comment. 216 217 Mayor Bergeson stated that he looks at the YMCA as being the cornerstone of the Town Center, and 218 as such should be the best looking building in the Town Center. He indicated the building has 219 improved, but he does not think they are quite there yet, and he hopes the YMCA will take the 220 opportunity to work with Staff and make any improvements they can. 221 222 Councilmember O'Donnell moved to adopt Resolution No. 06-09 approving the Planned Unit Development — Final Plat for the YMCA. Mayor Bergeson seconded the motion. •23 24 5 COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2006 APPROVED 025 Councilmember Stoltz arrived at 7:20 p.m. 226 227 Councilmember Carlson stated she will vote for this, as she believes the community has waited a long 228 time for it, and the YMCA is a good fit with their family -orientation. She indicated she thinks it is 229 important that additions to the YMCA are met, as the City is putting in the full contribution. 230 231 Councilmember Stoltz echoed the comments that the YMCA will be a great addition to the 232 community, and also that the expectation is that the townhomes, restaurants and businesses in the 233 Town Center will have high-quality facades. He stated he does like the addition of brick to the 234 YMCA building, but would encourage them to make it the best building they can in accordance with 235 the Town Center Standards. 236 237 Motion carried unanimously. 238 239 Resolution No. 06-09 can be found in the City Clerk's office. 240 241 E. Consideration of Resolution No. 05-153, Approving Comprehensive Plan Amendment, 242 Village of Hardwood Creek, Jeff Smyser 243 244 City Planner Smyser summarized the Staff report, indicating Staff recommends approval. 245 46 Kendra Lindahl, representing Hardwood Creek, stated this is a three-step process, and tonight is step 47 one. She noted they are only asking for three parts of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, and the 248 rest of the items are clean up being requested by City Staff. She stated if this is approved, the next 249 step is where they will get at the details of the project. She indicated that they are requesting to do a 250 master plan development of 372 acres, which is a great opportunity for them and for the city. She 251 reviewed the scope of the project, and showed a layout of the concept plan. She talked about how the 252 mixed-use land use would allow them to integrate residential with commercial. 253 254 Ms. Lindahl explained that they completed a market survey and found Lino Lakes is ready for this 255 type of development. She stated their proposal is consistent with the guided land use plan, and they 256 are requesting approval. She noted that the proposal would provide improvement for CSAR 21, 257 which is currently a problem for residents. She reviewed how this project meets the requirements that 258 will allow the City Council to approve numbers beyond the growth management plan. She indicated 259 that 20 to 25% of the project will be permanent open space. 260 261 Ms. Lindahl advised that they started the process two years ago, the entire time open about their 262 desire to exceed the growth limits set in the Growth Management Plan. She stated that they feel this 263 would not open the floodgates for development as has been mentioned because the Comprehensive 264 Plan has specific requirements that have to be met. 265 266 Ms. Lindahl stated they are not asking for public assistance with this project, and the development is 267 proposing to do all of the necessary public improvements. She indicated they are also participating in *68 off-site improvements that are needed whether this project goes through or not. She stated that the 6 COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2006 APPROVED *269 project at completion will add $5 million to the City's tax bill, which will be a great help for Lino 270 Lakes. 271 272 Ms. Lindahl indicated they have held 60 meetings and open houses with the community, and have 273 received great feedback from those meetings that they will incorporate into the plan. She stated she 274 thinks they have a concept plan they can move forward with, and they look forward to bringing back 275 more detailed plans. 276 277 Councilmember Reinert advised that two years ago they started discussions on master planning and 278 the obvious benefits to that type of development in providing infrastructure for the city. He indicated 279 they have done an AUAR of the area also. He stated that while they all passed the Comprehensive 280 Plan, he was never happy with this area. He indicated that there is a lot of industry planned here, and 281 he has never been in favor of high-density residential in Lino Lakes. He stated he would prefer that 282 there be a not to exceed of 4.5 units per acre rather than an average of 4.5 units per acre. 283 284 Councilmember Reinert also commented that the change to the growth management policy seems 285 redundant, and he feels it does expose the City to setting a precedent, and asked if that portion of the 286 Comprehensive Plan Amendment could be removed. 287 288 Councilmember Carlson asked about funding for the interchange, and the breakdown between the 289 parties involved. Community Development Director Grochala advised that it has not been W290 determined. He stated they have received approximately $1 million federal funding for pre -design 291 work. He indicated that other funds have been applied for, but nothing has been determined. He 292 advised that with Hardwood Creek they have a large development that would benefit from the 293 improvements, and who will look at contributions to the project. 294 295 Councilmember Carlson asked about timing of the housing, and City Planner Smyser indicated that 296 would be determined during the PUD review, which would require a staging plan for housing and 297 roadways. Community Development Director Grochala stated that he believes five to six years for 298 the total housing project, depending on the market for housing stock and site improvement schedules. 299 He noted they would be looking at six months to one year just for grading on the site. 300 301 Carlson asked about the maximum number of housing units allowed, as she believes there is a 302 conflict with the Staff report and the resolution. Community Development Director Grochala advised 303 that the count is a not to exceed number of 1150 units, or 4.5 per acre, but they do not know at this 304 time exactly how many units there will be. 305 306 Ms. Lindahl stated that currently 58% of the units are single-family detached units. She indicated that 307 in response to Councilmember Reinert's comments, with the right language they would be willing to 308 go to two-thirds low density and one-third medium density, as well as agreeing to say a maximum of 309 4.5 units per acre. She stated that as to the conservation development, they would like to see the 310 specific language, but if the language is clear that as long as Hardwood Creek comes in with a 311 Conservation Agreement they will be able to exceed 147 units per year it would be acceptable. 5312 Community Development Director Grochala indicated they can add verbiage to the resolution. 313 7 COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2006 APPROVED •314 Mayor Bergeson asked what value the $5 million in additional taxes is based on. Community 315 Development Director Grochala stated that the property is currently valued at $3.6 million, and the 316 estimated market value at build out is $332 million. He indicated that the City's portion of that $5 317 million is about $1.6 million, the school's portion is about $1 million, and the County and other 318 smaller taxing districts get the rest. He stated there are assumptions involved but they did have 319 Springsted review the calculations and they concurred. 320 321 Mayor Bergeson stated this is not a public hearing, however they would hear public comment. 322 323 Amy Donlin, 6100 Centerville Road, noted she has been involved with City affairs since college, and 324 has been involved with numerous Lino Lakes task forces and advisory committees, volunteering a lot 325 of time. She expressed concern about the development, indicating this was not the vision that those 326 who worked on the 2020 Vision plan had in mind She noted the City is almost at their projected 327 population for 2020, and because of that they are facing infrastructure problems. 328 329 Ms. Donlin read a letter from her father, Art Hawkins, who also expressed concern about this 330 development, and asked that the City Council follow the road map laid out in terms of growth in Lino 331 Lakes. 332 333 Don Garosky, 6941 Black Duck Drive, stated he served over 12 years on the Economic Development 334 Board in Lino Lakes. He indicated he first got involved because of a concern about taxes and why ,335 they were so high. He stated he is here to support Hardwood Creek from an economic standpoint, 336 noting they are not using TIF money, they will generate much needed tax revenue, and the fact that 337 this is under a master plan and not being done piece -meal. 338 339 Mr. Rolly, 654 Fox Road, indicated he supports the project, noting it will bring money to help the 340 schools. He stated he has a development behind him with a beautiful pond and twelve nice new 341 neighbors, and he appreciates the combination of nature and development. He added that he also 342 wants to spend his money in his own community, and this development will allow him to do so. 343 344 Jeff Johnson, 615 River Birch Place, commended the City Council on master planning this area, and 345 supported the decision to put a maximum of 4.5 units per acre. He offered his support, noting he 346 would also like to spend his money in this community, and the additional tax base to offset taxes 347 would be beneficial. 348 349 Mike Trehus, 675 Shadow Court, indicated that the agenda item is for a Comprehensive Plan 350 Amendment, but the language being amended is not included. He commented that the City just 351 enacted this Comprehensive Plan three years ago, and is now looking at changing it, and expressed 352 concern that it was being changed to fulfill a developer's request. He stated that this proposal is not 353 controlled growth, and indicated that the City Council seems to be taking the hard work on the 2020 354 Vision and throwing it out the window, not to mention the Comprehensive Plan Task Force work. He 355 stated that Lino Lakes lets developers plan the city, and the City Council is making a mockery of the 356 growth plan. .357 358 Mayor Bergeson called a brief recess at 8:56 p.m. 8 • COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2006 APPROVED 59 360 The meeting resumed at 9:08 p.m. 361 362 Community Development Director Grochala reviewed the proposed changes to the resolution and 363 Exhibits as follows: 364 • Page 75, first paragraph, `...following public purposes, which are listed in the Mixed Use 365 section:' 366 • Page 77, third Be It Further Resolved, #1, A variety of single family and multi -family residential 367 development will include a maximum of 1150 dwelling units, and the net residential density is to 368 be no greater than 4.5 units per acre, with no less than two-thirds of the residential area reserved 369 for low density residential development, when including all land not within the commercial area. 370 • Page 78, Add Item 8, As provided for in Ord. 24.04, the developer will be allowed to exceed the 371 stipulated growth limits, provided that the provisions of Section 3 of Ord. 24.04 are satisfied in 372 conjunction with a PUD proposal. 373 • Page 81, West Side of I -35E, fifth sentence, The net residential density shall not exceed 4.5 units 374 per acre, with no less than two-thirds of the residential area reserved for low density residential 375 development when including all land not within the commercial area. Said low-density area may 376 include detached and attached housing units, with the density not to exceed three units per acre. 377 • Page 82, second paragraph, is removed in its entirety. 378 • Page 82, section indicating 'The policy on page 27 of the comprehensive plan is amended to read 379 as follows, is removed in its entirety.' .80 81 Community Development Director Grochala commented that they have heard a lot of issues tonight, 382 and he wants to make it clear that this project has been going on for a long time. He stated that 383 master planning the corridor has been a goal of the City Council, and Staff has been working with 384 Hardwood Creek during the entire process. He indicated they have been trying to have as open a 385 process as possible, and have held numerous public meetings and public hearings. He stated they 386 have gone through the AUAR process, which looked at 4700 acres along the 35E corridor, and that 387 study was more detailed than anything involved with the Comprehensive Plan process. He indicated 388 this was not done just between Staff and the developer, it involved a 31 person Task Force. He stated 389 there were numerous meetings, and all of the information has been posted on the City's website and 390 available to the public. He noted that the AUAR is being held up as a model within the seven county 391 metro area and the state as a great example. 392 393 Community Development Director Grochala indicated there are traffic issues on CSAH 21 now 394 without this development, and they are hoping to resolve those issues with this development. He 395 stated that a large share of the industrial property along the corridor is not likely to develop anytime 396 soon. He indicated that the opportunity for commercial and residential will significantly increase the 397 tax base, and is supported by several goals of the Comprehensive Plan. He indicated that 147 housing 398 units per year does not address transportation, and it does not address open space. It is a number 399 between the low growth scenario and the high growth scenario, and is not a magic number. He noted 400 that the growth population number they heard tonight was from 1997 based on 147 units per year for 401 23 years at a specified number of people per household, however the growth management plan was •02 not adopted until 2003, and a lot had changed in that time. 403 9 COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2006 APPROVED 004 Community Development Director Grochala commented that the Environmental Board and the 405 Planning and Zoning Board noticed that even though they are slowing down growth with the growth 406 management plan, they are not really permitting the kind of growth that the City would want. He 407 stated the developer has walked through the process with us for two years, and this is the kick off to 408 what will need to be done over the next few years. He indicated there will be a lot of tough decisions 409 over the next six months, but he wants to make it clear that this did not just happen without a lot of 410 thought and a lot of input from the community 411 412 Councilmember Reinert moved to adopt Resolution No. 05-153 approving amendment of the 413 Comprehensive Plan to amend the proposed land use map, request 370 acres of MUSA, and amend 414 text with the changes outlined by staff. Councilmember Stoltz seconded the motion. 415 416 Councilmember Carlson expressed continued concern about the amount of development being 417 proposed. She read a letter from Centerville indicating they have reservations on the development, 418 and would like to delay development until CSAH 14 improvement is underway. She commented that 419 as was mentioned, they did just approve this Comprehensive Plan in 2003. She stated she would 420 support a new review, but that is a different process than the process this took, and requires a citizen 421 review. 422 423 Councilmember Reinert noted there was a citizen survey done a few years back, and there is a new 424 one being done, and while growth was one issue, taxes were another. He stated the people want a 25 diversification of the tax base, as well as places to shop within the city. He noted this development W26 provides nine miles of trails, and 70 to 8.0 acres of open space. He stated that the letter from 427 Centerville City Council was from one of their members, andnot from the Council as a whole. He 428 commented that the cities around them are adding hundreds of homes per year, and if they go even to 429 247 units he thinks that is still conservative. 430 431 Councilmember Carlson clarified that the letter from Centerville indicates that the Planning 432 Commission and the City Council reviewed the Comprehensive Plan amendment. She stated that 433 because it is signed by the mayor, she thinks it is a letter from Centerville, not a single City Council 434 member. She indicated she stands by the numbers she quoted and her concern about the level of 435 growth and the pressures that will be placed on them concerning other areas of the city. 436 437 City Administrator Heitke indicated that the letter form Centerville was discussed at the work session, 438 and he has responded. He indicated that to be fair since the letter was read into the record, they need 439 to hear staff response. 440 441 Community Development Director Grochala stated that he has responded to the letter and has 442 discussed the proposal with them, and after explaining this was not approval of a project, but only a 443 Comprehensive Plan amendment, they were perfectly comfortable with it. He stated that both cities 444 are concerned with the need for improvement of several roads in conjunction with this project. 445 446 Councilmember O'Donnell indicated that there are a lot of facts and figures. He stated that one . 47 weekend he tried to get a grasp on this, and contacted several members of the Environmental Board, 48 speaking with three. He indicated they were all supportive of this project. He stated they knew there 10 COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2006 APPROVED 0149 was a lot of work to be done, but thought the City was off to a good start. He indicated that means 450 more to him than anything he heard tonight. He stated he looks to the Environmental Board for 451 direction on this type of project, and they all had good things to say about what this project will mean 452 to our city. 453 454 Councilmember Stoltz indicated that they have heard testimony from a lot of people, including 455 citizens of Lino Lakes, and members of the Environmental Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, 456 and Park Board, who volunteer their time to the City and live and breathe Lino Lakes. He indicated 457 that the City Council was asked to stay away from the meetings so they did not encourage their own 458 agendas, and the meetings could remain citizen focused. He stated the residents want Lino Lakes to 459 be known for more than gas stations, and they want services and amenities in their city. He indicated 460 that the people want restaurants, commercial, life -cycle housing, even job opportunities for their kids. 461 He indicated that commercial pays higher taxes, and takes the burden off the home owners. He 462 indicated that he wants the citizens to know he is positive about the future of Lino Lakes. He stated 463 he enthusiastically supports this project, and he believes the needs of the residents will be well served. 464 465 Mayor Bergeson reiterated that the 12.74% increase in property tax revenue is a good thing for Lino 466 Lakes, because a lot of it came from new business, and to quote it as a burden for the residents is not 467 the whole picture. He indicated that 147 homes is not building permits, but is new platted lots. He 468 stated they need to be careful how that number is quoted, as there are a lot of platted lots that can be 469 built on right now. He indicated that the 35E corridor is going to develop, and there is a lot of interest •470 in it from Lino Lakes to Forest Lake and beyond. He stated there is no question it will develop, just 471 how and when. He indicated they will be getting green space they would not get if they developed the 472 land as the Comprehensive Plan currently shows, and the $332 million tax base is important.
