Dearborn Meadow East, Building Elevation Revision
Castle Avenue and Castle Court
September 21, 2011
SUBJECT:
LOCATION:
DATE:
INTRODUCTION
Dearborn Meadows is a 15-unit town house planned unit development (PUD) on Castle Avenue and
Castle Court, east of White Bear Avenue. This project was approved in 2003 and the construction of
this project is nearly complete. There is a single twin home left to be built. The owners of this site
have applied for a building permit but during staff's review the rear building elevation facing Castle
Avenue did not have brick shown as required by the city council. The owners are asking the city to
consider a revision to the condition that required the application of brick.
BACKGROUND
On May 27,2003, the city council approved a revision for the conditional use permit (CUP) for the
Dearborn Meadows PUD. This revision was for the 15-unit town house development on Castle
Avenue and Castle Court. The CUP revision for this development was subject to seven conditions of
approval.
On September 8, 2003, the city council approved the final plat for Dearborn Meadows East. This plat
created nine lots for town houses in the second phase of the Dearborn Meadows development.
DISCUSSION
The remaining twin home to be built within this project has its rear elevation facing Castle Avenue.
When the community design review board (CDRB) originally reviewed this project there was
discussion about how the elevations facing Castle Avenue should be designed. The CDRB
recommended the twin home building consisting of units 8 and 9 should have brick wainscoting on all
four sides of the building. Units 8 and 9 are the twin homes that have yet to be built. The city council
amended the CDRB's recommendation to state all elevations facing north (Castle Avenue) should
have brick wainscoting.
The building permit that was submitted for city approval showed no brick elements on the north
elevation. The developer states that placing brick on the rear elevation would be costly and difficult
because of the locations of decks, utilities and egress window wells. Planning staff conferred with the
city's building inspectors and confirmed that while it would be more intensive work it would not be
impossible to include brick features even with decks, utilities and egress window wells.
Staff met with the developer who will be proposing extensive landscaping to be in place in lieu of the
required brick. Staff feels this landscaping alternative has potential to achieve the same impact the
brick would have in terms of softening the elevation as seen from Castle Avenue but is withholding
any recommendations because the developer has not submitted any revised plans. At the September
1
27 CDRB meeting the developer will be presenting alternative options for the north facing elevation
for the board's consideration. The board will be asked to make a recommendation to the city council
on the applicant's request for a revision to the approved design plans.
RECOMMENDATION
Review the attachments prior to the September 27,2011 CDRB meeting.

MINUTES OF THE MAPLEWOOD COMMUNITY DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
1830 COUNTY ROAD BEAST, MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA
TUESDAY, MAY 13, 2003
V. DESIGN REVIEW
a. Dearborn Meadow East - 15 Unit Townhouse Development on Castle
Ms. Finwall said Mr. Pat Kinney is proposing revisions to the approved Dearborn Meadow
townhouse development. In 2002, the city council approved plans for Dearborn Meadow with
nine townhouses (in four twin homes and one single unit). The revised plan now has a total of
15 townhouses (in seven twin homes and one single unit) on a 3.58-acre site on the south side
of Castle Avenue, north of Cope Avenue. Each building would have horizontal-lap vinyl siding,
aluminum soffits and fascia and brick veneer on the fronts. The planning commission
approved this proposal at their May 5, 2003, meeting.
Staff recommends approval of the design review with several conditions.
Board member Olson said she drove by the site and noticed a lot of water on the site. She
read one of the neighbor's comments and they were concerned about the drainage issues as
well. She asked staff if the city engineer expressed any concerns regarding the drainage and
if the water from the nursing home was going to be flowing onto this site?
Ms. Finwall said she would refer board member Olson to the city engineer's report on page 26
in the staff report. She said maybe the applicant could answer to those issues as well.
Board member Shankar asked staff if Unit 1 and Unit 2 of Phase I was accessing directly off of
Castle Avenue?
Ms. Finwall said correct.
Chairperson Ledvina asked the applicant to address the board.
Pat Kinney, residing at 4108 Oakmeade Lane, White Bear Lake, addressed the board. The
standing water on the site is there because the road is cut in, but there is no storm sewer drain
installed on the site yet. The pond on the site was created to handle the drainage for this
development and the next phase of development as well. The standing water will drain once
the storm sewer drain is in and it will also handle the storm water runoff. He said the water
does not flow from the nursing home onto this property.
Chairperson Ledvina asked the applicant if he had any questions or concerns regarding the
staff report?
Mr. Kinney said no.
Chairperson Ledvina asked Mr. Kinney if he had any building samples to show the board?
Mr. Kinney said no he did not. He said the samples were shown when they applied for Phase I
of Dearborn Meadows.
Chairperson Ledvina asked if the applicant would be varying the color schemes of the
buildings?
Mr. Kinney said they plan on using the same color schemes as proposed in Phase I.
Board member Shankar asked if the city is allowing them to have parallel parking on Castle
Court?
Mr. Kinney said yes.
Chairperson Ledvina said he would like to see some visual differences in building colors. He
asked staff if they had any thoughts on changing the color scheme of the buildings?
Ms. Finwall said to just keep in mind that there are only eight twin homes and 1 single unit, so
having one color for that few of buildings is different than if it were a 1 DO-unit development
where color variety would be more important.
Chairperson Ledvina said the reason he brings the color scheme up is that he thought it would
add visual interest to the development varying the colors of the units such as light tan, beige,
or cream.
Board member Shankar asked chairperson Ledvina if the intent of the applicant was to match
the development of Phase I?
Chairperson Ledvina said yes it is, but there is still time to change the colors since Phase II
has not been started yet.
Board member Shankar asked where in the staff report was the condition about adding brick
wainscoting.
Chairperson Ledvina said the condition to add brick wainscoting was on page 11, item 2. e.
Board member Olson said the applicant should add brick wainscoting on the east and west
sides.
Chairperson Levina said the board should be specific in the recommendation to add brick
wainscoting to units 8 and 9.
Board member Shankar said that means you would be requiring brick wainscoting on the
backsides of units 8 and 9.
Chairperson Ledvina said correct.
Board member Olson asked if units 2 and 3 would be looking out at a plain wall as well?
Chairperson Ledvina said that's what the building elevation shows.
Board member Shankar moved to approve the plans date-stamped April 7, 2003, (site plan,
landscape plan, grading, drainage plans and building elevations) for Dearborn Meadow. The
city bases this approval on the findings required by the code. The developer or contractor
shall do the following: (changes have a strike through them, additions are in bold).
1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this
project.
2. Complete the following before the city issues a building permit:
a.* Have the city engineer approve final construction and engineering plans. These
plans shall include: grading, utility, drainage, erosion control, tree, sidewalk and
driveway and parking lot plans. The plans shall meet the following conditions:
(1) The erosion control plan shall be consistent with city code.
(2) The grading plan shall:
(a) Include building, floor elevation and contour information.
(b) Include contour information for the land that the construction will
disturb.
(c) Show sedimentation basins or ponds as may be required by the
watershed board or by the city engineer.
(d) Show a berm (two to four feet high) along the south property line of
the site.
(3) 'The tree plan shall:
(a) Be approved by the city engineer before site grading or tree
removal.
(b) Show where the developer will remove, save or replace large trees.
This plan shall include an inventory of all existing large trees on the
site.
(c) Show the size, species and location of the replacement trees. The
deciduous trees shall be at least two and one half (2%) inches in
diameter and shall be a mix of red and white oaks and sugar
maples.
(d) Show no tree removal beyond the approved grading and tree limits.
(4) All the parking areas and driveways shall have continuous concrete curb
and gutter except where the city engineer decides that it is not needed.
(5) There shall be no parking on one side of the 28-foot-wide driveway (Castle
Place). The developer or contractor shall post Castle Place with no
parking signs to meet the above-listed standard. The city will allow
parking on Castle Court.
(6) The site plan shall be submitted to the fire marshal for approval
regarding emergency vehicle access and turn around space.

(1) Place temporary orange safety fencing and signs at the grading limits.
(2) Remove any debris or junk from the site.
e. Put addresses on each building for each unit.
f. Provide a driveway turn around for Lot 7 on Castle Avenue.
4. If any required work is not done, the city may allow temporary occupancy if:
a. The city determines that the work is not essential to the public health, safety or
welfare.
b. The above-required letter of credit or cash escrow is held by the City of
Maplewood for all required exterior improvements. The owner or contractor shall
complete any unfinished exterior improvements by June 1 if occupancy of the
building is in the fall or winter, or within six weeks of occupancy of the building is
in the spring or summer.
5. All work shall follow the approved plans. The director of community development may
approve minor changes.
Board member Olson seconded.
Mr. Kinney asked if he could comment on the conditions the board changed or added?
Chairperson Ledvina said yes.
Mr. Kinney said he understands the concern about the brick wainscoting on the back of units 8
and 9 for consistency, but the building will have one walk out basement and one ground-level.
He doesn't see how the brick wainscoting would be done or how nice it would look.
Board member Olson asked how the rear of units 8 and 9 would relate to Castle Avenue?
Mr. Kinney said the street slopes at that point. The single unit will be higher in elevation and
then the elevation starts to slope down. Because of the elevations, the brick probably wouldn't
be visible from the street.
Board member Shankar asked if the front and back elevation for units 8 and 9 is the same or is
there a slope?
Mr. Kinney said there could be a possible lookout. Lot 8 has a flat lot and lot 9 is a lookout lot
so the elevation slopes from east to west going downwards.
Chairperson Ledvina asked Mr. Kinney what he would propose to improve the aesthetics from
Castle Avenue?
Mr. Kinney said he would be willing to plant more trees, which would add a pleasing
appearance for the homeowner and it would buffer the highway noise. He thinks adding the
brick wainscoting on the back of units 8 and 9 would not be visible from the highway anyway.
Chairperson Ledvina said in his opinion the brick wainscoting should be on all elevations of the
home. He doesn't think it would look nice to have brick on the rear elevation but not on the
sides.
Board member Olson said she thinks that would make the units more attractive because of its
proximity to the highway and increase the market value. It is also easier to maintain brick than
the vinyl siding.
Board member Shankar said in his opinion the deck railings for unit 8 are going to stick out
because they will be at eye level.
Chairperson Ledvina added a friendly amendment to item d. on page 11. To read: the
applicant shall review the current color schemes to identify possibilities of varying colors to
improve the aesthetics of the overall development. The color scheme shall be submitted for
staff approval.
Board member Shankar asked what if the applicant comes back and tells staff that they looked
at the color scheme possibilities and could not agree on anything?
Chairperson Ledvina said the board should then be clear with the recommendation to read: the
applicant should submit a color scheme that has multiple colors for siding materials. The color
scheme shall be subject to approval by staff.
Chairperson Ledvina said the curbing on the utility plan for Castle Court shows some right
angle curbing. He would like to have the applicant and staff review the curbing plan to
eliminate 90-degree angles and to smooth out those curbs. He asked staff if they had any
comment on where that friendly amendment would go?
Chairperson Ledvina made a friendly amendment stating: The city engineer and the applicant
shall review the curbing plan to eliminate right angles on the east end of Castle Court.
Board member Olson said she is concerned about the fire truck and utility issue. It says the
Fire Marshal wants to make sure the end driveways are large enough for proper snow removal
and to maneuver emergency vehicles. She wonders if there is turn around space at the end of
Castle Place and if the fire truck access is the driveway of the residents if emergency vehicles
need to get in there?
Ms. Finwall said she assumes they would have to turn around at the end of the driveways.
She said a condition could be added stating that concern under item 2. a. (6).
",
.
Board member Olson wanted to add that condition under 2. a. (6) stating the site plan shall be
submitted to the fire marshal for approval regarding emergency vehicle access and turn
around space.
Chairperson Ledvina repeated that board member Shankar made the motion, board member
Olson seconded. Ayes - Ledvina, Olson, Shankar
The motion passed.
This goes to the city council on Tuesday, May 27,2003.

Design Review and Conditional Use Permit-LaMettry Collision Auto Repair
North of 2923 Maplewood Drive
September 21, 2011
TO:
FROM:
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Rick LaMettry, owner of LaMettry Collision, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to
build a new auto body repair shop north of his existing location, 2923 Maplewood Drive. Mr.
LaMettry would then sell his existing building to Steve McDaniels, of Maplewood Toyota, to
expand Maplewood Toyota's campus. Maplewood Toyota would use the building to service
automobiles as it is presently used.
Requests
Mr. LaMettry is requesting that the city council approve:
. A conditional use permit for automotive repair.
. The building, site and landscaping plans.
BACKGROUND
August 8, 2005: The city council approved a conditional use permit for Steve McDaniels, of
Maplewood Toyota, to build a temporary parking lot on the proposed site. The back half of the
parking lot was constructed of a pervious parking material to comply with shoreland ordinance
requirements. The front half constructed with a temporary gravel surface. Mr. McDaniels'
intention was to build a permanent building on the graveled area.
DISCUSSION
CUP Findings for Approval
The zoning ordinance requires that the city council find that all nine "standards" for CUP
approval be met to allow a CUP. In short, these state that the use would (refer to the resolution
for the complete wording):
. Comply with the city's comprehensive plan and zoning code.
. Maintain the existing or planned character of the neighborhood.
. Not depreciate property values.
. Not cause any disturbance or nuisance.
. Not cause excessive traffic.
. Be served by adequate public facilities and police/fire protection.
. Not create excessive additional costs for public services.
. Maximize and preserve the site's natural and scenic features.
. Not cause adverse environmental effects.
The proposed use meets these nine criteria. The site was previously intended for an automotive
use by Mr. McDaniels. This was noted in the 2005 CUP when the city council granted the
approval for the temporary parking lot. Condition 6 of the CUP stated, "The property owner shall
obtain city approvals and begin construction of a permanent building on this site by September
30,2007. . ." Council subsequently extended this deadline until the summer of 2011 for the
applicant to either begin the site development process or to pave, curb and landscape the gravel
parking lot.
EXISTING CUP FOR MAPLEWOOD TOYOTA PARKING LOT
Staff suggests continuing the existing CUP for the temporary parking lot until construction begins
for the proposed body shop. If the proposed building is not built for some reason, the existing
CUP may remain. In that event, however, Mr. McDaniels should be required to pave, curb and
landscape this parking lot as originally directed by the city council. Staff recommends reviewing
this original CUP when construction begins for Mr. LaMettry's building or in one year, whichever
comes first.
Shoreland Boundary Area
The proposed site is within the Kohlman Lake Shoreland Boundary area. The Shoreland
Ordinance requires a maximum impervious surface of 50 percent. This was considered in 2005
when the city council granted the CUP to allow Maplewood Toyota to use the site for parking. At
that time, the city engineer determined that the proposed pervious parking surface, along with
grassy areas to be provided, would meet shoreland ordinance requirements. The applicant is
proposing to keep the pervious parking area on the west half the site as part of his development
proposal.
Design Considerations
Buildinq DesiQn
The proposed building would be constructed of precast concrete panels with a textured, stucco-
like surface. The front entrance/vehicle-estimate area would be brick with a blue metal fascia.
There would be a corresponding brick detail on the northerly front corner of the building to
match. Please refer to the building elevations and the colored photos. The photos are of the
applicant's Lakeville shop. The proposed facility would match this building.
The exterior materials of nearby buildings range from brick (the existing LaMettry Collision
building and the Maplewood Toyota building south of LaMettry Collision) to concrete block
(Gulden's Roadhouse) and precast concrete (Venburg Tire). City ordinance states that in
considering the design quality of a proposed building, the community design review board
should strive for compatibility with the existing buildings in the area. Section 2-290(b)(2) states
that "the design and location of the proposed development shall be in keeping with the character
of the surrounding neighborhood and is not detrimental to the harmonious, orderly, and attractive
development contemplated by this division and the city comprehensive plan."
The proposed building meets the goal of the ordinance and would fit the character of the existing
buildings in this area.
2
Site Desiqn Elements
Parking, Access: Access would be via the existing frontage drive which currently serves
LaMetlry Collision. City ordinance requires two parking spaces for each repair bay, plus one
space per bay for a mechanic-three per bay total. The applicant has said that there will be nine
body-work bays, two mechanical-repair bays and four paint bays. This would total 15 bays with
a requirement for 45 parking spaces. The site plan shows 23 parking spaces adjacent to the
building. The pervious-surface parking area to on the back of the site would support another
100+ parking stalls. The parking requirements would be easily met.
Site Lighting: Site lighting was installed for the temporary parking lot. There would be light
poles removed that are in the location of the proposed building. Any replacement lights shall
meet the design of the existing pole lights and shall comply with city ordinance to guard against
light spillover and light intensity maximums.
Landscaping: The proposed landscaping plan consists of shrub beds along the east side of the
frontage drive with five Royalty Crabapple trees. There would also be shrubs planted near the
building and another crabapple tree as well. The rear of the site close on the west side of the
existing pervious-surface parking lot would have a continuation of spruce and pine trees.
Trash Storage: Trash is shown to be stored in the building. If outdoor storage is used in the
future, the city code would require an enclosure for all trash containers.
Staff Comments
Assistant Fire Chief
Butch Gervais, the assistant fire chief, requires that the applicant provide:
. A fire protection system to be installed per code requirements.
. An alarm system to be instalied per code requirements.
. The paint booths meet all code requirements.
BuildinQ Official
Dave Fisher, the building official, had the following comments:
. The applicant shall provide a fire sprinkler system.
. The building shall meet all applicable building codes.
. It is recommended that the applicant have a preconstruction meeting with the city.
Police
Lieutenant Richard Doblar had the following comment:
Construction site thefts and burglaries are a large business affecting many large construction
projects throughout the Twin Cities metro area. The contractor/developer should be encouraged
to plan and provide for site security during the construction process. On-site security, alarm
systems and other appropriate security measures would be highly encouraged to deter and
report theft and suspicious activity in a timely manner.

Citv Enqineer
Steve Kummer, staff engineer, reviewed the proposal and has submitted the attached
Engineering Plan Review. Mr. Kummer lists several conditions of approval that should be
included as requirements if the project is approved. Mr. Kummer also raises the question as to
whether the parking should be allowed directly from the frontage drive. This drive is a private
driveway system and is not a high-volume roadway. Though this is not typical, it is also not in
violation of any city ordinance and would serve the traffic circulation needs of the property.
Neighbors' Comments
Staff surveyed the 47 property owners within 500 feet of the site for their comments. Of the five
replies, two were opposed, one was not opposed and two expressed concerns about the
maintenance of the pond.
The comments received were:
. Why should LaMettry Collision move? It would bring commercial commotion closer to
the homes, You can already smell paint outside the homes.
. The holding pond should be protected from snow melt which contains debris and gravel.
. Overstory trees should be planted to help screen the site from the west.
Staffs reply:
. We cannot comment on whether Mr. LaMettry should or should not relocate to this site.
That is his decision. From the city's perspective, though, it has been expected that
another automotive-repair building would be constructed on this site since Mr. McDaniels
proposed the temporary parking lot in 2005. His plan at that time was to build an auto-
service building for Maplewood Toyota on the front half of the site.
. Regarding paint smell, staff asked the assistant fire chief if there is any hazard due to the
smell of paint. Mr. Gervais explained that LaMettry Collision has the proper ventilation
equipment in their paint booth, but sometimes when doors are open, paint odor can be
detected. This is not a toxic issue.
. Mr. Kummer recommended the gravel that has been pushed onto the pond slope needs
to be removed and the slope restored with an approved erosion-control blanket and
native seeding. The use of the pond to dispose of snow should stop since this practice
litters and contaminates the pond.
. Overstory trees would be good for screening the parking lot from the hillside to the west.
There is limited room available on site for tree planting, though. Deciduous trees could
replace some or all of the proposed evergreens, but then there would be no continual
screening of the parking lot as code requires on the residential side. Granted, this is
questionable due to the difference in topography. Staff's feeling is that the evergreens
should be planted as proposed. Most of the yards to the west have existing tree cover
that buffers them from the proposed site aleady.

SUMMARY
Staff supports the proposed CUP. The existing CUP for car parking, which was issued to
Maplewood Toyota, should remain until construction begins on Mr. LaMettry's building.
Staff recommends one year for construction to start and for the termination of Maplewood
Toyota's use of this site for parking. If Mr. LaMetlry's plans change and he does not build,
the MaplewoodToyota parking lot should be improved with paving, curbing and landscaping
as previously directed by the city council.
COMMISSION ACTIONS
September 6, 2011: The planning commission recommended approval of the CUP.
RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Adopt the resolution approving a conditional use permit for vehicle repair on the property
north of 2923 Maplewood Drive. Approval is based on the findings required by
ordinance and subject to the following conditions:
1. All construction shall follow the site plan date-stamped July 25, 2011. The director
of community development may approve minor changes.
2. The proposed construction must be substantially started or the proposed use utilized
within one year of council approval or the permit shall become null and void. The
council may extend this deadline for one year.
3. If within one year of this permit approval the construction does not begin, the city
shall review the status of the 2005 conditional use permit granted to Maplewood
Toyota for their temporary parking lot on this site. Consideration shall be given to
terminating that CUP, or requiring permanent parking lot improvements, based on
the development plans of Mr. LaMettry.
4. The city council shall review this permit in one year.
5. The applicant shall comply with the pervious-surface requirements of the Shoreland
Ordinance and the pervious-surface area requirements determined by the
Maplewood Engineering Department. This was determined in 2005 for the existing
parking lot, however, a reevaluation shall be made to assure code compliance.
6. The applicant shall comply with the conditions stated in the Maplewood Engineering
Department's review of this proposal as prepared by Steve Kummer, staff engineer,
dated August 10, 2011.
7. There shall be no plowing of snow from this site for deposit in the city's holding pond
to the west.
5
B. Approve the plans date-stamped July 25, 2011, for the proposed LaMettry
Collision building north of 2923 Maplewood Drive: Approval is subject to applicant doing
the following:
1. Repeating this plan review if construction has not started within two years.
2. Any new light poles that are installed shall match those on the site presently in
place.
3. An in-ground landscaping irrigation system shall be installed as required by code for
all landscaped areas. The proposed evergreen trees to the west may not be
irrigated, but the applicant shall assure the watering of these trees for their survival.
4. The applicant shall not plow snow or dump snow into the city's holding pond west of
the site.
5. The applicant shall submit cash escrow or an irrevocable letter of credit before the
issuance of a grading permit to cover the cost of installing all required landscaping.
This escrow shall be in the amount of 150 percent of the cost of all landscaping.

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Staff surveyed the 47 surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the proposed site for their
comments about this proposal. Of the five replies, two were opposed, one was not opposed and
two expressed concerns about the maintenance of the pond.
Opposed
. I do not see the need for LaMettry to move. Maplewood has already done more than enough
for Toyota. This move would put LaMettry right behind me. More noise for us. It is hard
enough to try and sell homes up here because of LaMettry and Toyota.
(Buchman, 2954 Duluth Street N.)
. We don't like the idea because we sometimes smell paint outside out home. If they move to
the proposed lot, it will be closer to the homes. (respondent unknown)
Not Opposed
. I personally am not opposed to this relocation. (Schmaecher, 1256 County Road D)
Additional Comments
. My main concern is the holding pond area. Snow is piled and dumped in the area where the
fencing currently ends. There is a huge pile of debris, gravel and litter that needs to be '
removed. What steps, if any, is Mr. LaMettry going to utilize to keep the pond area free of
debris and trash and piling of snow when removing the snow from the parking area? (Taylor,
Manteca, CA)
. I don't object to LaMettry Collision relocating here, but they should take steps to not dump
snow in the pond like they have in the past. There should be additional overstory trees
planted for a better screen for the homes to the west. (call received by telephone, no name
given)

RE: Conditional Use and PUD Application (2011)
To Whom It May Concern:
This proposal is for a new structure to relocate the existing auto-body shop located next door to the
property to facilitate the future use of the Toyota dealership. This new structure would not change any
of the existing conditions or standards or character of the existing properties. The property was
,
developed for this purpose and was designed not to generate any additional traffic, cause any additional
costs for public facilities or services or cause any additional adverse environmental effects.
This project is not any different than what already exists, would complete the intended development
and would provide additional tax base for the city.
Thank you,
Richard LaMeltry

Summary
LaMellry's Auto Body and Collision is proposing to construct a new building on a vacant parcel
north of their existing building at 2923 Maplewood Drive (Highway 61). The vacant parcel was
created as part of a 1997 lot split which involved the expansion of Maplewood Toyota to the
north side of Beam Avenue.
Water and sanitary sewer is already stubbed to the lot. Since the site will disturb more than %
acre, the site must meet the City's rate control and infiltration rules.
Access to the site is via an existing private frontage road that connects Gulden's, LaMettry's,
Venburg Tire, and the Maplewood Toyota repair garage along the west side of Highway 61. No
access points to Highway 61 are expected to be revised.
Request
The applicant is requesting design review and a conditional use permit.
The scope of this review includes aspects of site design including, but not limited to, geometrics,
paving, grading, utilities, temporary sediment and erosion control and permanent storm water
management. The following are Engineering review comments on the design review, and act
as conditions to be addressed prior to issuing any City permits:
General
1) Provide "true" scale drawings. The reduced drawings submitted do not match the scale
as specified on the plans.
2) Provide a copy of the geotechnical evaluation to the City. Provide information on
assumed soils infiltration rates for the infiltration structure.
3) Provide note: "Perform all work in conformance to applicable City of Maplewood and
State of Minnesota requirements."
4) Indicate limits of construction along north and east sides of the site. Provide orange
safety fencing along limits.

Storm Water Manaqement
5) If the existing infiltration pipe will take drainage from the lot to the south, then an
easement agreement between the two properties is required.
6) Provide construction details on the proposed underground 36-inch infiltration pipe
including access port locations. Provide a written procedure for periodic maintenance of
the system.
7) Verify that proposed building FFE is at least two feet above the 100-year HWL of the
pond to the west.
West Pond
8) Remove excess open-graded aggregate material from the pervious parking area that
has migrated from the parking lot into the pond, Re-establish the sideslope with an
approved erosion control blanket and native seeding.
Erosion Control
9) Plans should call for compost log or biolog around the perimeter of the site with the silt
fence. The concern is being able to properly bury the silt fence within the hard-pan
gravel that currently exists on the vacant parcel.
Site Plan
10) Does the easement agreement for the private frontage road permit the placement of the
parking stalls along the east side of the building to directly access the private frontage
road?
11) Provide site import/export computations including assumed compaction factors.
Other
12) Submit a signed copy of the MPCA construction storm water permit prior to grading
permit issue.
13) Satisfy requirements of all permitting authorities associated with this project. Provide
copies of written approval letters and permits.
14) The applicant shall enter into a maintenance agreement with the City. The City shall
either prepare the agreement or coordinate preparation of the maintenance agreement
with the Watershed District.
15) The applicant shall provide a letter of credit or cash escrow for 125% of the proposed
site improvements that includes the cost of grading, erosion control, and permanent
establishment/seeding.
