CITY OF LINO LAKES
ORDINANCE NO. 12.01
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BY
ALLOCATING 11 ACRES OF MUSA RESERVE TO THE WEST SHADOW
PONDS DEVELOPMENT
The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota does hereby
ordain:
Section 1. The City Council finds that the proposed project meets the City's Interim
MUSA Reserve Criteria as follows:
1. The request for MUSA is occurring concurrently with preliminary plat application.
2. The rezoning request is occurring concurrently with the MUSA request.
3. MUSA is adjacent to the north border of the site.
4. The net acreage for the project is 11 acres, and that is the MUSA request.
5. Utilities exist directly adjacent to the site.
6. West Shadow Lake Drive is planned as a minor collector road. The extension of
West Shadow Lake Drive through the site is consistent with the City's transportation
plan.
7. The City has reviewed the proposal and determined it will not adversely affect the
community health, welfare, or general safety.
8. The City has reviewed the proposal and determined that impacts to the environment
are mitigated by the wetland plan approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District.
Large wetland areas will be retained, and new replacement wetlands will be created
for a net increase in wetlands.
9. The existing City park adjacent to the development was dedicated in part in
anticipation of the park dedication requirements of this development. The park
location is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Park Plan.
10. The site is within Sewer District No.1 which is consistent with the MUSA reserve
agreement with the Metropolitan Council.
11. Utilities exist directly adjacent to the site and extension to this site is consistent with
the City's sewer and water plan.
12. The developer has demonstrated a significant commitment to the community by way
of previous development projects.
13. The proposed development complies with the City's Infill Policy outlined by
Resolution No. 92-85, because: allocation of MUSA reserve will put the site within
the MUSA; the development of the site has been analyzed for impacts on utility and
street system costs; the analysis determined that costs will be covered, that operation
and maintenance will not exceed normal costs, and there will be no additional costs.
14. When improved according to the recommended plans, West Shadow Lake Drive and
62nd St. will be adequate to handle traffic.
Section 2. A public hearing was held before the Planning & Zoning Board on
November 12, 1998.
Section 3. Since the findings support the proposal, 11 acres of interim MUSA reserve
shall be allocated to the area included in the West Shadow Ponds development.
Section 4. This ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its passage and
publication according to the Lino Lakes City Charter.
