MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 3, 2014
TO: EDAC
FROM: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
RE: October 9, 2014 EDAC Meeting
Attached is the agenda and draft September meeting minutes for your review. We have
two topics for discussion at the meeting.
Watermark (Mattamy Homes)
As we briefly discussed at the September meeting Mattamy Homes has submitted a
concept plan for review and comment. The proposed development is a PUD master
planned residential community located in the northwest quadrant of I-35E and CSAH
14/Main Street. It contains 12 parcels totaling approximately 372 gross acres and
consists of a residential density mix of single family lots and townhomes totaling 876
housing units. The proposed development is called Watermark.
Of specific interest to EDAC is the proposal to develop the area entirely with residential
uses. The comprehensive plan allowed for the site to include a commercial component
in the southeast quadrant of the site. Mattamy, however, is not pursuing commercial
development due to lack of market interest. A copy of the Mattamy Concept Plan is
attached. Staff will provide additional background information at the meeting as well as
a review of surrounding property available for commercial development.
Community Profile
The packet includes and updated Community Profile. We are still working to
incorporate a few additional comments provided by the commission. Also attached is a
draft of the Request for Expressions of Interest that we plan to send out to developers
for the Woods Edge site owned by the City. Staff would like to get your feedback at the
meeting.

Incredible Spaces. Outstanding Opportunities.
Woods Edge, conveniently located at the interchange of Interstate 35W
and County Highway 23, lies in the heart of Lino Lakes’ growing town
center. The development currently includes City Hall, bank, medical
clinic, apartments, senior living, and one of the most successful YMCA’s
in the metro area. Pad sites and built leasable space for restaurants,
retail and service uses are all available. Higher density housing is an
integral part of the design plan, and the City welcomes townhome,
senior and apartment developers. Approximately 20 acres, with public
infrastructure in place, are available for development.
One of the largest undeveloped
interchanges in the metro area is drawing
the attention of major development groups
and big box retailers. This I-35E Corridor,
just 25 minutes from downtown St. Paul, is
a virtual untapped market in the northeast
metro area that stretches all the way to
Wisconsin. This corridor is projected to
experience significant growth over the
next 20 years. With a newly constructed
interchange, commercial opportunities
abound and hundreds of acres are available
for corporate campus environments.
This gateway into southern Lino
Lakes shares its border with the City
of Shoreview and nearby North Oaks.
Prime for both green development
and redevelopment, it promises
exciting opportunities for developers
of both residential and commercial
centers. A master plan for the area
is completed and the City is eager to
work in partnership with innovative
developers to turn this into a
neighborhood jewel.
