th one connection to the busy county road, making for efficient access, keeping 20 Avenue free of unnecessary side-roads. th A trail is not shown along the west side of 20 Avenue. However, a wider, multi-use th trail already exists along the east side of 20 Avenue. The use of the east-side trail, unfortunately, requires crossing the county road. A trail stubbed to the south may be a good way for folks on the west side of county road to have a self-contained trail and sidewalk loop linking Centerville and Lino Lakes without the need to cross. Some trail rd work would need to be done in Centerville to make this connection between 73 Street th and the proposed new development. The potential of a trail along the west side of 20 rd Avenue, north of 73 Street has been discussed in recent years as the Peltier Estates development was examined. Further exploration of this idea should be a priority for both cities. East-West Connection to Future Development It will be important for the east-west road which runs through the high density townhome th area to be constructed to dimensions which support a viable through route between 20 Avenue and the future development area as shown in the map below. Without this route, rd traffic from the future development area will be likely to use Mill Road and 73 Street as th their primary in-and-out to 20 Avenue. Parks A park is shown in the southwests corner of the development with lakeshore access. More information about the potential uses of this park should be gathered. If the park were used for boat access, this may be a concern to existing lakeshore homeowners. Utilities It is staff’s understanding that the development will be served by Lino Lakes’ sewer and water utilities. We do not anticipate any interconnection between the two cities’ utility infrastructure as part of this development. Conclusions and Recommendations Staff offers the following comments for consideration by the Planning Commission to be forwarded to the City of Lino Lakes: th 1. A trail should be considered along the west side of 20 Avenue between the southern border of Lino Lakes and the entrance road to the development. 2. The east-west road through the high density townhome area should be designed to handle traffic from the future development area directly to the west. 3.Further information on the uses proposed for the lakeside park should be provided. 4.It is assumed that Gordon Ave. North will connect to Mill Road, through the undeveloped area, at some point in the future. A trail connection through that area should be planned as well.It should be clarified what happens to Peltier Lake Drive in the interim (i.e. will it be dead ended?).
