AGENDA ITEM 7A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Mary Alice Divine
DATE: 9/11/00
TOPIC: Resolution No. 00-79 authorizing application for the
Livable Communities Demonstration Program
Vote Required: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND:
In 1997 the Lino Lakes Council applied to the Metropolitan Council for planning
funds through the Livable Communities Demonstration Account. The city
received $220,000 in funds to hire Calthorpe Associates—a firm specializing in
Traditional Neighborhood Development—to complete a master plan and design
standards.
This year, a total of $6.9 million in funds will be given to communities for
planning and implementation of projects that meet the goals of Livable
Communities. Projects receiving consideration must meet threshold criteria,
including mix of uses, housing densities, mix, and integration, transit
improvements, and linkages to surrounding neighborhoods and employment.
This year the city is asking for $1.5 million in funding to begin implementation of
the master plan in The Village. The second phase application deadline is
September 22. This application must include a resolution of support from the city
in which the project is located.
OPTIONS:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 00-79 authorizing application for the Livable
