Gena Ciganik, Vice President, explained what makes CCHT different from other

Ms. Ciganik and Mr. Arthur answered council questions. In summary, they asked council to
consider providing their support in CCHT redeveloping the 6.4 acre site in a way that would
work best for the residents and the Community of Maplewood.
d. Ned Moore, 2624 W. River Parkway, Minneapolis, APAC (All Parks Alliance for

current residents of the St. Paul Tourist Cabin parcel to stay in Maplewood. Mr. Moore
asked council to focus their primary concern on the park residents that will be displaced.

RE: Senior Housing on Site of St. Paul's Monastery
Dear Ms. Higgins:
We have received your request for a letter of support for CommonBond Communities'
efforts to develop 40 new units of senior housing in Maplewood, Minnesota. Your
request was placed on the May 22, 2006 City Council agenda and received the full
support of the City Council.
As the population in Maplewood ages we see a growing need for senior housing at all
income levels and in particular for those who are living on fixed incomes whether from
social security or small pensions.
While there remains more work to be done in the way of site plan approvals, construction
plan approvals, and the like, we at the City of Maplewood are excited at the prospect of
more affordable senior housing being developed in our city.
We look forward to working with CommonBond to bring this development to reality and
urge the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund this worthwhile
endeavor.
Sincerely,

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Greg Copeland, Interim City Manager
FROM: Charles Ahl, Public Works Director /City Engineer
DuWayne Konewko, Environmental Manager
SUBJ: NPDES Phase 11 Annual Report /Public Meeting
DATE: May 11, 2006
INTRODUCTION
As part of Maplewood's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, the city is
required to prepare an annual report detailing the progress made in the previous year toward satisfying the
requirements of the permit. The City is also required to hold a public meeting on the annual report to solicit
comments from the public and address all comments written and oral in the final report submitted to the
MPCA.
Background
A 1987 amendment to the federal Clean Water Act required implementation of a two -phase comprehensive
national program to address pollution from storm -water runoff. This program was named the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Since 1991, NPDES Phase I regulated cities with
populations of 100,000 or more. NPDES Phase II took effect in 2003, regulating cities with populations of
10,000 or more. Maplewood was among a group of approximately 220 cities in Minnesota affected by
NPDES Phase II.
The State of Minnesota regulates the disposal of storm water by a State Disposal System (SDS) permit.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) administers both NPDES and SDS permits in Minnesota
and issues combined NPDES /SDS -MS4 storm -water permits. In March 2003, the city submitted its permit
application to the MPCA. The permit cycle runs five years.
The permit application required the City to develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan ( SWPPP). The
MPCA has established six minimum control measures that the SWPPP must address. They are:
• Public Education and Outreach
• Public Participation and Involvement
• Illicit Discharge and Detection and Elimination
• Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control
• Post- Construction Storm Water Management
• Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
Maplewood's SWPPP defines the Best Management Practices (BMPs) the City intends to use to minimize
pollution from storm water runoff for each of the six minimum control measures.
The City's permit and SWPPP have been available for public viewing at the engineering counter and were
also posted on the city's website. Articles posted on the website and published in the City newsletter
encouraged residents to review the permit and SWPPP and submit any comments they may have. A
dedicated phone line and email address was established to receive these comments. As of May 1, 2006,
no comments regarding the SWPPP had been received.
Agenda Item H1
Staff has prepared a draft of the city's annual report and will make a short presentation on the City's
SWPPP and the progress made toward the permit goals in the previous year. The floor should then be
opened to the public for any comments they wish to make regarding the permit or draft annual report. All
comments will be recorded and addressed in the final version of the annual report.
When all public comments have been addressed and incorporated into the report, the report will be
finalized. At that point, the report and executive summary will be submitted to MPCA. The deadline for the
annual report is June 30, 2006.
CHANGES TO FUTURE NPDES REPORTING REQUIREMENTS — NON DEGRADATION PLANS
The City of Maplewood is one of thirty cities in the state that will be required to submit a Non Degradation
Plan as part of the NPDES permitting process. The MPCA will be responsible for reviewing the Non
Degradation Plans and determining compliance. The selection criteria that were used to select these thirty
cities were based on community size and growth experienced by the community. In selecting these thirty
MS4 cities, MPCA is assuming that your discharge is significant and has the potential for increased loading
of one or more pollutants.
The Non Degradation Plan will require cities to develop a plan to address new or expanded discharges
(runoff) and bring these discharges back to 1988 levels. Where increases in runoff or pollutant loading has
occurred due to new or expanded discharges from stormwater runoff, the plan must identify and include
retrofit and mitigation options or BMPs that reduce these discharges back to 1988 levels.
To meet this requirement, cities will have to perform loading assessments using water quality modeling for
discharges and pollutants. When complete, the model will be used to determine where stormwater runoff
has resulted in new or expanded discharges and then determine what strategies can be used to bring
these discharges back to 1988 levels.
The primary goal of this permit is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of
"Waters of the State" through management and treatment of urban stormwater runoff. To meet this goal,
the City of Maplewood must develop, implement, and enforce a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program
designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the City. As in the previous MS4 permit, public
education and outreach activities are key in obtaining compliance with the permit requirements.
The City must implement a public education program to distribute educational materials to the community
and conduct outreach activities in the community. These educational program activities will focus on
impacts of stormwater discharges and what steps the residents and businesses can take to reduce
pollutants in stormwater runoff.
The initial Non Degradation application is due to the MPCA by June 1, 2006. The results from the loading
assessment are due to the MPCA by December 1, 2007. In order for the City to achieve compliance with
the MS4 permit requirements, the City will likely need to conduct studies that will require the expenditure of
substantial additional monies that will likely be in excess of $100,000. Additional monies will be required
for infrastructure upgrades and these improvement requests will be presented to council pending the
results of the findings from the report. Staff is recommending a phased approach to complete the
nondegradation requirements set forth in the revised MS4 permit. The phases are as follows:
Phase I - Preliminary Work
Phase II - Loading Assessment
Phase III — Nondegradation Report and MPCA Submittals
Agenda Item H1
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that, following the presentation on the City's SWPPP and NPDES permit annual report,

SUBJECT: Kenwood Area Street Improvements, City Project 05 -16
Resolution Approving Access Agreement with Ramsey County and Ramsey
Washington Watershed District
Resolution Approving Cost Participation with Ramsey Washington Metro
Watershed District for Construction of West Keller Pond
DATE: May 12, 2006
INTRODUCTION
As part of the Kenwood Area Street Improvement Project, a pond is planned for construction on the west
side of Keller Lake in Ramsey County park property. Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District has
agreed to finance the construction of the pond.
Background
A large amount of the Kenwood neighborhood currently drains into Keller Lake untreated. Under the
improvement project, a treatment pond is planned for construction in conjunction with the watershed
district. Ramsey County has approved the construction of the pond within their property. An access
agreement is required between the county, city and watershed district to allow for the construction and long
term maintenance activities of the pond within county land. The watershed district has agreed to pay for the
pond improvements and an agreement has been drafted between the city and watershed for the cost
participation. The city's attorney, Dave Ramberg of Kelly and Fawcett, has reviewed and approved both
documents.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the city council approve the attached resolutions Approving Access Agreement with
Ramsey County and Ramsey Metro Watershed District and Approving Cost Participation with Ramsey
Washington Metro Watershed District for Construction of West Keller Pond.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Greg Copeland, Interim City Manager
FROM: Charles Ahl, Public Works Director /City Engineer
SUBJECT: Consulting Engineer Operating Agreement with URS, Inc. — Approve Revised
Operating Agreement
DATE: May 16, 2006
INTRODUCTION
An updated operating agreement with URS, Inc., one of the consulting engineers in our consultant pool, is
recommended for approval.
DISCUSSION
The engineering firm of URS, Inc. has been a consultant engineer for the City of Maplewood since May
2001. We have been operating on an agreement for the past five years based upon the original project
operating agreement, project submittals and reviews. The firm of URS, Inc. has been merged and
purchased in the past years, as it originally was called BRW, Inc. The operating agreement establishes the
levels of coverage for liability insurance, measures to resolve disputes, and the legal precedence for our
project agreements. The city attorney has reviewed this contract.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that council approve the operating agreement with URS, Inc. and authorize the mayor
and interim city manager to execute the agreement.

It is the expressed intent of the parties that this Agreement shall be made available to the subsidiaries and
affiliated companies of URS. For the purposes of this Agreement, as it applies to each Work Order, the
term "URS" shall mean either, URS Corporation, or the affiliated company identified in the Work Order.
The applicable Work Order shall clearly identify the legal name of the affiliate or subsidiary accepting the
Work Order.
ARTICLE 1 - Work Orders The Scope of Services ( "Services "), the Time Schedule and the Charges
are to be set forth in a written Work Order to this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall apply to each Work Order, except to the extent expressly modified by the Work Order. Where
charges are "not to exceed" a specified sum, URS shall notify Client before such sum is exceeded and
shall not continue to provide the Services beyond such sum unless Client authorizes an increase in the
sum. If a "not to exceed" sum is broken down into budgets for specific tasks, the task budget may be
exceeded without Client authorization as long as the total sum is not exceeded. Changes in conditions,
including, without limitation, changes in laws or regulations occurring after the budget is established or
other circumstances beyond URS control shall be a basis for equitable adjustments in the budget and
schedule.
ARTICLE II - Payment Unless otherwise stated in an Work Order, payment shall be on a time and
materials basis under the Schedule of Fees and Charges in effect when the Services are performed.
Client shall pay undisputed portions of each progress invoice within thirty (30) days of the date of the

performance until payments are current. Client shall notify URS of any disputed amount within fifteen
(15) days from date of the invoice, give reasons for the objection, and promptly pay the undisputed
amount. Client shall pay an additional charge of one and one -half percent (1%2 %) per month or the
maximum percentage allowed by law, whichever is the lesser, for any past due amount. In the event of a
legal action for invoice amounts not paid, attorneys' fees, court costs, and other related expenses shall be
paid to the prevailing party.
ARTICLE III - Professional Responsibility URS is obligated to comply with applicable standards of
professional care in the performance of the Services. Client recognizes that opinions relating to
environmental, geologic, and geotechnical conditions are based on limited data and that actual conditions
may vary from those encountered at the times and locations where the data are obtained, despite the use
of due professional care.
ARTICLE IV - Responsibility for Others URS shall be responsible to Client for URS Services and the
services of its subcontractors. URS shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of other parties
engaged by Client nor for their construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, or
their health and safety precautions and programs.
ARTICLE V - Risk Allocation The liability of URS, its employees, agents and subcontractors (referred
to collectively in this Article as "URS "), for Client's claims of loss, injury, death, damage, or expense,
including, without limitation, Client's claims of contribution and indemnification, express or implied, with
respect to third party claims relating to services rendered or obligations imposed under this Agreement,
including all Work Orders, shall not exceed in the aggregate:
(1) The total sum of $250,000 for claims arising out of professional negligence, including
errors, omissions, or other professional acts, and including unintentional breach of contract; and any
actual or potential environmental pollution or contamination, including, without limitation, any actual or
threatened release of toxic, irritant, pollutant, or waste gases, liquids, or solid materials, or failure to
detect or properly evaluate the presence of such substances, except to the extent such release,
threatened release, or failure to detect or evaluate is caused by the willful misconduct of URS; or

Services: (1) statutory Workers' Compensation coverage; (2) Employer's Liability; (3) General Liability;
and (4) Automobile Liability insurance coverage each in the sum of $1,000,000. Client shall be named
as additional insured under (3) and (4).
URS indemnifies and holds Client, its employees, officers, and representatives harmless against and
from any and all claims, costs, judgments and amounts paid in settlement, arising or incurred in
connection with claims, actions, suits or proceedings, to the extent that such claim, action, suit or
proceeding is caused by errors, omissions, or negligent acts of URS and its employees in the
performance of services under this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII - Consequential Damages Neither Party shall be liable to the other for consequential
damages, including, without limitation, loss of use or loss of profits, incurred by one another or their
subsidiaries or successors, regardless of whether such damages are caused by breach of contract, willful
misconduct, negligent act or omission, or other wrongful act of either of them.
ARTICLE Vill - Client Responsibility Client shall: (1) provide URS, in writing, all information relating to
Client's requirements for the project; (2) correctly identify to URS, the location of subsurface structures,

health and safety hazard or condition known to Client existing on or near the project site; (4) give URS
prompt written notice of any suspected deficiency in the Services; and (5) with reasonable promptness,
provide required approvals and decisions. In the event that URS is requested by Client or is required by
subpoena to produce documents or give testimony in any action or proceeding to which Client is a party
and URS is not a party, Client shall pay URS for any time and expenses required in connection therewith,
including reasonable attorney's fees.
Client shall reimburse URS for all taxes, duties and levies such as Sales, Use, Value Added Taxes, Deemed
Profits Taxes, and other similar taxes which are added to or deducted from the value of URS Services. For
the purpose of this Article such taxes shall not include taxes imposed on URS net income, and employer or
employee payroll taxes levied by any United States taxing authority, or the taxing authorities of the countries
or any agency or subdivision thereof in which URS subsidiaries, affiliates, or divisions are permanently
domiciled. It is agreed and understood that these net income, employer or employee payroll taxes are
included in the unit prices or lump sum to be paid URS under the respective Work Order.

Representative of each party. The provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent
permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the provision

SUBJECT:
Conditional Use Permit Review
APPLICANT:
Hmong American Alliance Church
LOCATION:
2515 Maplewood Drive North
DATE:
May 15, 2006 for the May 22, 2006, City Council Meeting
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
The conditional use permit (CUP) for the Hmong American Alliance Church at 2515
Maplewood Drive North is due for review. The Hmong American Alliance Church
purchased the Maplewood Industrial Park building at this site and renovated the building
for their church which was previously located in North St. Paul.
i •
September 22, 2003: The city council approved a comprehensive land use plan change
from light manufacturing (M -1) to church (C), a conditional use permit for a church, and
design review for the Hmong American Alliance Church.
September 13, 2004: The city council approved the conditional use permit review.
DISCUSSION
The Hmong American Alliance Church completed the renovations to the building in
January 2005. During the spring, summer, and fall of 2005 the church completed all
exterior improvements including a sidewalk connecting the park and ride lot to their
church, parking lot, lighting, and landscaping. The church has been operating without
incident since that time. Following are three conditions of approval which still need
addressing:
Landscaping: Maple Leaf office building is currently being constructed on the lot
located to the south of the church. Grading was required in between the two
properties which caused the removal of the turf. The church should ensure the
five -foot strip of land between their property and the Maple Leaf office building is
established with turf and that all other required landscaping within this area is in
good health once the grading work is complete.
2. Wetland Buffer: According to the city's open space naturalist, Ginny Gaynor,
native vegetation has not established within much of the required wetland buffer.
Ms. Gaynor states that this vegetation can take up to two years to establish. The
church should work with Ms. Gaynor to ensure the required native plantings have
been planted and are maintained and established within this buffer area.
3. Design Review (design element and mechanical units): The church was required
to implement additional design elements to the east side of the new elevated
roof. This condition was required to add design elements to the building which
would distinguish it as a church and not a manufacturing or warehouse building.
With the building permit plans, the church originally submitted designs for a
decorative, pre- finished metal louver screening panel in this area. This panel
would have added the required design elements and screened the mechanical
units. Since that time the church has determined the screen to be cost
prohibitive. They are currently working on decorative wall signage and emblems
for the elevated roof and will then paint the mechanical units to match the
building, which is a code requirement.
City staff is working with the church to ensure that all of the above- mentioned conditions
will be met. City staff recommends review of the CUP again in four months (September
2006) to ensure completion of these conditions.
RECOMMENDATION
Review the conditional use permit for the Hmong American Alliance Church again in four
months to ensure all required landscaping on the site has been planted, the wetland
buffer is established with native plantings, the roof -top design element is in place, and
the roof -top mechanical units are painted. All original conditional use permit conditions
as outlined in the September 22, 2003 city council minutes apply.

Conditional Use Permit Review
Van Dyke Village Town Houses
2191 — 2231 Van Dyke Street
May 11, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
The conditional use permit (CUP) for Van Dyke Village town houses at 2191 — 2231 Van Dyke Street is
due for review. This CUP is for a PUD (planned unit development) in the BC (business commercial)
zoning district. Refer to the maps and plans on pages three through eight and the city council minutes
starting on page nine.
BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2003, the city council approved a conditional use permit (CUP) for a planned unit
development (PUD) for 20 town house units on this site. The applicant requested the CUP because
part of the site would be on property that the city had zoned BC (business commercial). The code
allows multiple - dwellings on BC -zoned land only with a conditional use permit. The CUP for this
project was subject to ten conditions of approval.
On May 27, 2003, the community design review board (CDRB) approved the design plans for this
project. This approval was subject to six conditions. (See the building elevations on page seven.)
On April 26, 2004, the city council reviewed the conditional use permit and agreed to review it
again in one year or sooner if the owner proposes a major change to the site.
On April 25, 2005, the city council reviewed the conditional use permit and agreed to review it
again in one year or sooner if the owner proposes a major change to the site.
DISCUSSION
The contractor for the town houses has completed all the site work for the development including the
construction of the tot lot, the maintenance building, sidewalk, and the screening fence along the west
and north sides of the project (see the site plan on page five). The landscaping also is complete
including the planting of evergreen shrubs and ornamental trees in front of each entry, deciduous
shrubs at the back of each unit and three rain gardens affronting Van Dyke Street (see the landscape
plan on page eight). Since the developer and contractor have completed all the required site
improvements, it should not be necessary for the city to do annual reviews of this development.
RECOMMENDATION
Review the conditional use permit (CUP) for the Van Dyke Village Town houses at 2191 — 2231
Van Dyke Street again only if a problem develops or if the owner proposes a major change to the
site.
REFERENCE INFORMATION
SITE DESCRIPTION
Site size (project area): 3.56 acres
Existing land use: Town houses
SURROUNDING LAND USES
North: Goodwill and undeveloped property owned by the adjacent daycare center
South: Emma's Place town houses
West: Finalube, NAPA Auto Parts and an auto body shop on White Bear Avenue
East: Single dwellings across Van Dyke Street
PLANNING
Land Use Plan designation: R3 -M (medium density residential) and BC (business commercial)
Zoning: R3 and BC
Land Use Plan Provision
The land use plan provides that most of the land use plan categories coordinate with the city's
zoning categories. The uses permitted in these land use categories are the same as those in the
corresponding zoning district.
Ordinance Requirements
The land use plan showed this site for BC (business commercial) uses, which do not include
multiple - family housing. The developer applied for a CUP because the zoning on this site is BC
(business commercial) and R -3 (multiple - family residential). The BC zone allows a variety of
commercial, retail business, and multiple dwellings with a conditional use permit (CUP). The
developer chose to apply for a CUP, rather than a zone change. A CUP for a PUD is only for a
specific use and site plan. A rezoning to R -3 (multiple dwelling residential) would allow a variety of
multiple - dwelling uses and plans.

Conditional Use Permit Review
Dearborn Meadows PUD
Castle Avenue and Castle Court
May 12, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The conditional use permit (CUP) for the Dearborn Meadows planned unit development (PUD) is due
for review. This CUP is for a 15 -unit town house PUD on Castle Avenue and Castle Court, east of
White Bear Avenue. Refer to the maps on pages three through six and the city council minutes
starting on page seven.
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. (See the maps on pages three through six.) 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. (See
attached final plat map on page six).
On May 24, 2004, the city council reviewed the CUP for the Dearborn Meadows PUD and agreed
to review it again in one year.
On May 9, 2005, the city council reviewed the CUP for the Dearborn Meadows PUD and agreed to
review it again in one year.
DISCUSSION
The builder is progressing with the town houses in this development. The contractor has completed
the building and site construction for the first phase of the development. For the second phase of the
development, the contractor has started construction on the town homes. Pat Kinney, the owner's
representative, expects that the contractor will have the second phase of the development completed
by the end of next year. Since the developer has not yet finished the project and because not all of the
site improvements are complete, the city council should review this permit again in one year. This
review will give staff and the property owner a chance to ensure that the project is meeting all city
ordinances and conditions of approval.
RECOMMENDATION
Review the conditional use permit (CUP) for the Dearborn Meadows PUD on Castle Avenue and
Castle Court again in one year or sooner if the developer or the owner proposes a major change to
the site.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Greg Copeland, Interim City Manager
FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: May 16, 2006 for the May 22 City Council Meeting
SUBJECT: Ramsey County Soccer Partners Program Grant Contract
INTRODUCTION
The parks and recreation department has been fortunate to receive $200,000 in soccer grants
from Ramsey County during the past three years. The first grant was utilized to install lighting at
Hazelwood soccer fields and the second was to design, develop and install two new soccer
fields at Afton Heights Park.
The city applied for and received a third grant for 2006 to address the challenge of maintaining
the heavy use areas on our soccer fields, primarily the four corner kick areas, center circle and
goal areas.
BACKGROUND
The city's largest youth athletic program is soccer. We currently have over 2,000 young people
playing soccer in a variety of programs ranging from our in -house program to N.E.S.A. to
traveling programs to summer and fall recreational leagues. Given the nature of the sport of
soccer, there are seven areas on each soccer field that receive extensive wear. The seven
areas are the four corner kick areas, two goal areas and the center circle.
During the past three years I have been working with a number of both public and private
organizations to try to resolve this issue. We applied for and received a $58,000 grant from
Ramsey County to work with the private sector to utilize a combination of artificial turf and
natural grasses in the heavy use areas.
It is my intent to develop a design competition for the private sector to submit proposals as to
how they would resolve the heavy use areas using natural and artificial turf.
Assuming the city council approves the grant request, staff would forward proposals to the
private sector, which would then be reviewed by representatives from the soccer community.
The representatives would include members of the parks and recreation commission, N.E.S.A.
and other soccer enthusiasts.
As part of the agreement with Ramsey County, we would then implement the winning design
criteria at a minimum of two fields at Hazelwood Park. In addition, we would be required to
share our success with other Ramsey County municipalities and soccer field users.
The $58,000 grant would be matched with $29,000 from the city that would come from the city
P.A.C. fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the city council approve the enclosed contract agreement with Ramsey
County and authorize the finance director to make the necessary arrangements to utilize P.A.C.
monies for the matching grant monies.

Maplewood, MN 55109
Dear Greg:
Enclosed is a soccer grant application from the city of Maplewood. The grant request has a bit of a
different spin as we are proposing to address the long-term issue of soccer maintenance at the heavy
wear points.
As you are well aware, soccer field maintenance has been a challenge for years given the
concentration of play in the center circle, two goal areas and four corner points. I spent a great deal of
time last summer attempting to resolve this problem and worked with three astro turf suppliers as well
as a local firm to devise a product to correct this issue. The challenge is in creating a smooth
transition from natural turf to astro turf to avoid injuries and make for a smooth playing surface.
The city of Maplewood proposes to enhance a minimum of four fields with two different products and
methodologies utilizing astro turf in the high use areas. We will provide in-depth analysis of the
products' wear, safety concerns, transition periods, etc., and report back to you, the Ramsey County
Board and our fellow soccer players throughout Ramsey County.
I firmly believe that if we are able to resolve this issue we will greatly enhance field availability, reduce
maintenance costs, and provide an overall improved soccer environment. It is our intent to complete
this project no later than June 1, 2007.
Should you have any questions regarding Maplewood's approach to this long-term problem and/or the
specific grant application, please contact me directly at (651) 249-210Z

Association, our summer and fall leagues, and programs that we issue formal permits
to.
2, Identify the number of soccer fields (differentiate between full-size, dedicated soccer
fields and multi-purpose athletic fields) available within your jurisdiction to serve youth
soccer players.
We currently have 16 soccer fields within the city of Maplewood. See attached list and

3. Narrative description of the project
The city of Maplewood is requesting a $100, 000 grant through Ramsey County Soccer
Partners Program. It is our intent to "retrofit"a minimum of four soccer fields at
Hazelwood Park with astro turf. The intent is to develop and design a model for all
soccer programs throughout Ramsey County utilizing artificial turf in the heavy use four
comers, center area and two goal zones. This has been a significant problem for soccer
fields throughout Minnesota. The city of Maplewood is willing to take the initiative to
work with a minimum of two astro turf suppliers to identify the "perfect" solution to
resolving heavy use areas that are constant maintenance problems.
In addition to doing a minimum of four fields with two different systems, the city will
document the findings and provide specifications, plans and material specs to all
Ramsey County soccer providers.
The benefit to the county may be immeasurable. If we are successful in designing and
refining the "perfect" blend of natural and artificial turf, field life will be extended, greater
use during inclement weather will occur, and general overall increased play and
participation will transpire.
4. Project budget (identify estimated cost for each major component of the soccer project,
e.g. field construction, irrigation system, parking lot, lighting system, etc.)
The project budget is for a minimum of four fields at $50,000 per field of astro turf, which
will include the goal areas, four comers and center areas.
G. Source of local funding share (identify specific sources and amounts of public and/or private
funds on hand to undertake the soccer project.)
The city's matching share will come from the city's park development fund. The money is
currently available and budgeted for these proposed improvements.
H. Proof of property ownership (supply documentation of fee title, easement or long-term lease
applicable to the proposed site).
See Attachment
Operations and maintenance plan (identify who will provide these services and the long-term
source of funding.)
The ongoing operations and maintenance (see enclosed department organizational chart) will
be provided by Maplewood parks and recreation department's maintenance division. We
currently have a full-time maintenance supervisor, eight full-time maintenance personnel and
eight to sixteen seasonal people who would be responsible for operating and maintaining the
fields. In addition, we are currently in the process of developing a long-term relationship with
N. E. S.A. who will be providing ongoing maintenance and supervision including labor services
for Hazelwood Park.
Page 9
J. Describe in general how the facility will be programmed and scheduled (identify access
priorities.)
The facility is currently programmed for not only Maplewood youth, but also Northeast Soccer
Association, which in effect serves all of Ramsey County, In addition we will continue to make
the fields available to outside users, particularly adult user groups. One of our primary users
at this time is the Hmong community, who we will continue to serve.
It is ourposition that there will be additional programming scheduling availability throughout
Ramsey County if we are able to resolve the long-term maintenance issue of high
maintenance areas.
K. Identify and summarize any cooperative agreements with other governmental jurisdictions
relating to the proposed soccer facility.
The cooperative agreements we have with other government, jurisdictions include School
District #622, as well as private schools including Hill Murray and Mounds Park Academy.
Hazelwood soccer complex is also used extensively by the private sector including Comer
Kick, which is located in Maplewood.
L. Describe the timeline for project implementation.
The timeline for project implementation will be to develop plans and specifications that would
be forwarded to a number of manufacturers no later than June 1, 2006. It is intended that the
final design and cost estimates will be completed by July and August and the first field will be
installed and completed no later than September 1, 2006.
M. Identify when (month and year) the project will be open for public use. Note: Soccer field
development under this program must be available for public use within two years of a
development partnership grant award.
The project will be open (all four fields) and available for public use no later than June 1,
2007. The intent will be if we find the ideal solution to complete all the fields by November 1,
2006.
N. Include a resolution from the governing body of the jurisdiction making application authorizing
the submittal of the application and accepting the terms as outlined in the request for grant
applications.
The resolution from the Maplewood city council formally approving the application and
submittal, including a council resolution, at their regularly scheduled meeting on March 27,
2006. The parks and recreation commission reviewed this issue at their regularly scheduled
meeting on February 21, 2006 and authorized staff to proceed. I do not envision any
concerns regarding our city council support. The city of Maplewood would agree to language
that the grant application and monies would be approved pending formal approval of the
resolution by the Maplewood city council.

The Beginning of Soccer in the City of Maplewood
1974 (March) — The City of Maplewood was intmmsted in starting a youth soccer program and contacted
Fred Abbott, a British immigrant and Tocal area resident, for his assistance. At that time,
soccer was being played in almost every nation in the world but was still a relatively
obscure sport in the United States.
1974 (August) - The City of Maplewood announced a sign-up. Seventeen potential players expressed an
interest in this new game. These players were urged to recruit others in order to form a
league comprised of minimum of three team with eleven players each.
1974 (September) -The City of Maplewood Soccer League began its f= season- Since there were only
three teams, they spent the entire season playing in a continuous round robin. Weekend
games were played on the lower Hazelwood Soccer Field; weekday evening games were
played under the floodlights at Lions Park- The league endured several challenges
including frequent flooding at the Hazelwood field and suffered from limited resources
such as a limit of one ball per team The league was forftmate in that many of its early
participants, like Fred Abbott, were European immigrants and contributed their
significant knowledge of the sport.
1975- The second sign-up meeting was held and the number of players more than doubled.
Other fields were added, but because the lower Hazelwood continued to flood, many of
the games were played on the top field, which lacked goal posts. The teams improvised
by marking the goals with jackets and sweatshirts. On one Saturday, Fred Abbott and a
player's parent, Tommy Goulding, took it upon themselves to move the goal posts to the
upper field.
1976- Interest in the league exploded, increasing demand for more fields, coaches and referees.
Fred Abbott organized clinics to train new coaches and recruited and certified new
referees. Arrangements were made to use other fields including Hillside and Goodrich
Park.
1977 ( November)- Interest in soccer continued to grow at a tremendous rate. To accommodate the
growing demand, Fred Abbott and two other coaches, Allan Eastwood and Gil Leiter
formed the Northeast Soccer Association (NESA). Fre ; d Abbott served as the
organization's first president
1978 (Spring)- NESA began by sponsoring a spring clinic in the month of April. Though the initial
request to use local school gymnasiums for these clinics was denied, Fred Abbott
persisted and successfully lobbied the local school board to reconsider. The money
collected from the modest $5 per person participation fee was used to buy professional
quality uniforms for NESA's new traveling team NESA sponsored two teams in the
first year of the program, and four in the second year. Within a few short years, NESA
was sponsoring 16 traveling teams for young men and women each summer.
1978 (Fall) - The City of Maplewood was awarded a Federal grant to develop the Hazelwood fields.
Another local sports group tried to sway the City into using the grant to Construct
baseball fields on the land- However, Fred Abbott brought the issue to the attention of
some local elected officials was ultimately successful in convincing the City to make
Hazelwood a top quality soccer facility. Working with the developer, Fred Abbott was
able to design the top field to be equivalent to a fiffl-size World Cup field. The facility
was the envy of soccer groups throughout the region.
Page 16
1979- Suffering from a lack of facilities at which to play nighttime games, NESA officials
sought to place lights on the upper Hazelwood soccer field- Since neither NESA nor the
City had the funds to do so, Fred Abbott and a team volunteers laid the new sod on the
upper Hazelwood field by hand so that the money saved by no t paying for professional
sod installation could be used for lights.
1980s- Fred Abbott continued to play a pivotal role in guiding the growth of youth soccer in the
area. He focused his energy on improving the refereeing grogram L During this time he
recruited, trained and qualified over 100 referees. He then served tirelessly for years as
the City's referee coordinator scheduling officials for the many games that were played
each week
1985 - Fred Abbott and his family moved from, the area leaving behind a soccer organization
serving more than 1,700 youth players, substantially more than the 17 that formed the
league many years before.
1999- The City of Maplewood designated the upper Hazelwood soccer field as Fred Abbott
Feld in honor of one of the founders of soccer in Maplewood, NImnesota.

From Nick Franzen, IT /Network Analyst

Date: 5/1712006
Re: Consideration for Approval of Funds for the Council Chambers Update
Introduction
The Council Chambers is not a user friendly environment for presentations by staff or visitors or for
viewing presentations by Council, staff or audience. Updating the recording equipment, audio and
visual elements to accommodate current technology will provide great improvements in
communications between the City and the public. We currently have a CIP fund for this project with
approximately 53,000 dollars. In addition to these funds Government Television Network, GTN, will
contribute about 38,000 dollars for a total project budget 88,000 dollars.
Project Description
This project will entail replacing video cameras, microphones, dais monitors, cabling, and video
production equipment. We have already upgraded the recording equipment to a hard drive /DVD
system. We would like to begin ordering the equipment as soon as possible with install beginning
Tuesday, June 6 2006. This would coordinate with the Council Meeting on June 12 which is
scheduled to be relocated to Carver School.
Some of our vendors are still preparing /updating their quotes but because of the timing with the south -
leg meeting and the state of the chambers I am bringing this request to you now. I will re- adjust the
quotes when I receive them and go with the best quote. I ask for approval to purchase the attached
equipment for the upgrade to the Council Chambers.

SUBJECT: Kenwood Area Street Improvements, Project 05 -16
1. Resolution Approving Senior Citizen Deferral for Joseph Cote
DATE: May 16, 2006
INTRODUCTION
On May 8 2006, the city council heard fourteen assessment objections for the Kenwood Area Street
Improvement project and made recommendations for thirteen of those objections. Joseph Cote at 1942
Lee Street (PIN 172922130016) requested that the principal balance on his assessment be deferred while
the interest be charged. A decision was not made on this request as staff needed to research the feasibility
of this option.
Background
Staff consulted with the City Attorney, Patrick Kelly, and the Ramsey County assessor, John Fohrenkamm,
regarding the deferral of only the principal assessment while charging the interest. Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 429, allows councils to determine the amount of interest on deferred assessments by ordinance or
resolution, but does not specifically call out collecting interest on a deferred assessment. If the council
approves the senior citizen deferral while charging interest, the city will become the responsible party to
collect the annual interest charges. John Fohrenkamm has stated that the county will not collect interest
only payments on a deferred assessment as the statute does not specifically detail such a situation.
It is recommended that the senior citizen deferral be approved, including the deferral of all interest. Staff
does not recommend that only the principal assessment amount be deferred while charging interest on an
annual basis as the city will become responsible to enforce payment when situations arise such as failure
to make payment and property owner changes. Under a non- payment situation, the City would be required
to certify the over -due interest payments to be collected on the property taxes, the original method of
collection. Additionally, the amount due is an annual billing and not a debt due. If the property owner sold
or an estate was created, the City would not be able to collect further payments on the interest. It is also
noted that as property in Maplewood increases in value, even the compounded interest is less than the
property value increase; thus property owners are not in danger of losing property to deferred
assessments. For example, a $150,000 property increases in value by 8% per year is an increase of
$12,000. The assessment deferral of $5,500 at 5.9% interest only increases by $324.50 per year, or a
nearly $11,500 property value gain, even with the full deferral.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the city council approve the attached Resolution Approving Senior Citizen Deferral
for Joseph Cote.

deferral of the interest, subject to receipt of necessary documents to be approved by the city
engineer.

FROM: Tom Ekstrand, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment — Accessary Buildings
DATE: May 9, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Request
Staff is requesting that the city council amend the accessory- building ordinance to revise the
procedure for allowing larger accessory buildings or garages. Presently, the ordinance states that a
larger- than - allowed garage can be constructed by conditional use permit (CUP), but only up to a
maximum of 1,250 square feet. Garages over 1,250 square feet would require a variance. With the
findings required by state statute for variance approval, there is little or no likelihood for granting a
variance for such requests.
Staff s intention is not to become more lenient in the approval of larger garages, but instead to
simplify the procedure for the review of such requests. The council can still control the size and
height through the CUP process based on the standards for CUP approval as outlined by ordinance.
BACKGROUND
May 8, 2006: The city council held a public hearing and reviewed this ordinance amendment. The
council moved first reading with no changes to the proposed amendment.
COMMITTEE ACTIONS
On April, 17, 2006, the planning commission discussed this ordinance amendment and moved to
forward it to the city council for consideration. The planning commission, however, did not agree
with staff with the proposed changes of dropping the maximum garage area and garage height
limitations. They felt these should be kept in the ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the ordinance amendment allowing larger garages by conditional use permit with no cap on
their size. The maximum size for a garage that is larger and taller than ordinance allows would be
determined by the city council based on the circumstances of each individual proposal.

INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Mathew Frisbie of Frisbie Architects, Inc., representing Comforts of Home, LLC, is
proposing to redevelop two lots located on the southeast corner of Highway 36 and
Hazelwood Street (2300 and 2310 Hazelwood Street). The two lots currently contain the
vacant Auto Glass store and an electrical contractor's office. The proposed use on the
3.025 acre lot will be a 42 -unit, two - story, assisted living facility. The facility will also
include memory care, respite care, and a hospice facility with 24 -hour, on -site homecare
staff. (Refer to the applicant's narrative and plans — Attachments 1 through 12.)
Requests
This proposal requires the following land use approvals from the city:
Comprehensive land use plan change from business commercial (BC) to high
multiple dwelling residential (R -3H). [4 Votes]
2. A conditional use permit (CUP) for a multiple dwelling planned unit development
(PUD).
3. Design review.
DISCUSSION
Operations
There are currently two Comforts of Home facilities operating in the Twin City
metropolitan area, Blaine and Hugo, and one in Hudson, Wisconsin. The applicants
discuss the Comforts of Home operations in the attached narrative (Attachment 1). In
summary, Comforts of Home is an assisted living and memory care /Alzheimer
community designed to assist those needing mild to high levels of personal care.
The facility will have 42 private suites, a large kitchen, group dining /living /activity areas,
and a beauty shop. Each suite has a private bathroom and a separate bedroom /living
area. Some of the units would have kitchenettes. The facility has 24 -hour, on -site home
care and nursing staff. The facility will provide the residents' meals, housekeeping, and
laundry service.
Land Use
The property is guided as BC in the city's comprehensive land use plan map. In order to
construct a multiple - dwelling building as proposed by the applicants, the property must
be reguided to multiple dwelling residential. The city's comprehensive plan allows for
three levels of densities within a multiple dwelling land use designation including low
(R -3L), medium (R -3M), and high (R -3H).
The city's comprehensive plan does not clearly address assisted housing, but for density
allowance purposes staff used the senior -only housing calculation. Densities for senior -
only housing within each of the comprehensive land use levels is based on a calculation
of the number of people per unit and the lot size, rather than the number of units per
acre. This allows for slightly higher densities due to the fact that seniors tend to have
less people living within one dwelling unit.
The R -3M land use designation would allow up to 36 units on this property. The R -3H
land use designation would allow for up to 62 units on this property. The applicants are
proposing 42 units, and therefore the property must be reguided from BC to R -3H. The
reguiding of this land from BC to R -3H for the Comforts of Home development meets the
criteria for a land use plan change as outlined in the attached land use resolution
(Attachment 15).
Zoning
The property is zoned BC. Within this zoning district, multiple dwelling residential uses
are allowed with a CUP. The property can remain zoned BC for this development, as
long as the applicants obtain a CUP from the city for the construction of the multiple
dwelling residential use (assisted living facility). The proposed Comforts of Home facility
should meet the nine standards for approval of a CUP as outlined in the attached CUP
resolution (Attachment 16).
The applicants are also requesting that the CUP be approved as a PUD. A PUD is
requested to allow flexibility from the city's codes in order to produce a superior
development. Areas of flexibility to be discussed include reduced parking, reduced
parking space width, and reduced unit floor areas.
Highway 36 Improvements
Mary McNeff, transportation planner with the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT), submitted a letter in regard to the proposed development (Attachment 13). In
summary, Mr. McNeff states that Highway 36 is included in the MnDOT Metro District
2008 -2030 Transportation System Plan which calls for additional lanes to be constructed
on the highway. He goes on to state that the plan is fiscally constrained and funding for
the widening of the highway has not been identified within the time frame.
Chuck Ahl, city engineer, states that there were originally several reconstruction plans
being considered by MnDOT for Highway 36 in this location including widening the
highway, constructing a pedestrian bridge over the highway, closing off access from
Hazelwood Street to the highway, or constructing an interchange at the Hazelwood
Street/Highway 36 intersection. It is unclear at this point if MnDOT has the funding to do
any reconstruction near the Hazelwood Street/Highway 36 intersection. Mr. Ahl's best
estimate is that the Hazelwood Street access on the north and south side of the highway
would be closed and there may be a need for additional right -of -way from the Comforts
of Home property for the widening of the highway. The applicants are aware of these
possible roadway construction scenarios.
Hazelwood Street /Sidewalk
Chuck AN also states that Hazelwood Street is set for improvements in 2009 in the city's
capital improvement plan. The street improvements would probably include curb and
gutter, with several on- street parking spaces in front of the property.
As has been the city's policy in all new or redeveloped sites where warranted, the city
should require that the applicants install a sidewalk along the entire Hazelwood Street
frontage of the lot. The sidewalk would need to be six feet in width. Since the city does
not know the exact layout of the improvements, a sidewalk installed this year with this
development may need to be torn out and reconstructed in 2009. For this reason the
applicant should be required to submit an escrow for the cost of the sidewalk to be
constructed by the city in 2009.
Minnesota Rules, Chapter 7030.0030, states that the local governmental unit has to take
all reasonable measures to ensure that the state noise standards have been met. There
is a valid concern that the location of a residential facility in this location would violate
state noise standards due to the vehicle noise from the highway. For this reason, city
staff recommends one noise mitigation condition to include a 6 to 8 foot high berm with
evergreen trees planted on the sides and top. The berm should be located on the north
end of the lot, wrap around the northwest corner, and extend along Hazelwood Street for
a short distance. The applicants have addressed this condition in their April 24, 2006,
revised grading and drainage plan and landscape plan (Attachments 7 and 9).
In addition to the condition of adding a berm, the applicant should provide the city with
verification that the assisted living facility will meet state noise standards. This can be
accomplished through a study, testing or other documentation. If the noise on this site is
a factor, then the applicant will have to construct the facility so it meets the standards.
This may be done with thicker walls, heavier windows, requiring air conditioning or other
sound - deadening construction methods.
Traffic
Three of the nine neighborhood comments received were in regard to concerns about
additional traffic. These concerns came from neighbors on Sherren Avenue.
Representatives of Comforts of Home state that none of their residents will drive. In
their existing facilities they have five to six visitors a day, six daytime staff and three
evening staff, and food is delivered twice a week. This is minimal traffic compared to the
traffic that would be generated from other permitted commercial uses in that area.
Tom Sohrweide, manager of traffic engineering services with Short Elliott Hendrickson,
gave the traffic counts on the proposed use and three other development scenarios
(trips per day = one vehicular trip to Comforts of Home and one vehicular trip leaving
Comforts of Home in any given day):
,C3
1) 42 -unit assisted living facility: 68 trips per day (10 employee trips per shift, 8
delivery trips per day, 20 visitor trips per day).
2) 10,000 square foot office building: 110 trips per day
3) 5,000 square foot office building: 55 trips per day
4) 5,000 square foot retail use: 220 trips per day
With these comparisons it seems clear that the traffic concerns are unwarranted,
particularly for neighbors on Sherren Avenue. The only additional traffic that these
neighbors should experience is an occasional stray vehicle from the facility, as most of
the traffic from this facility will be on Hazelwood Street or Cope Avenue.
Parking
City code requires two parking spaces per residential housing unit. One of the spaces
must be enclosed. Comforts of Home is proposed with 42 housing units, therefore 84
parking spaces are required per city code. Comforts of Home is proposing 25 surface
parking spaces. The applicant is requesting that the city authorize the reduction of 59
parking spaces as part of the PUD.
The applicant's rationale for such a large reduction is the fact that none of the residents
will have vehicles, and the only parking needs they have will be for their employees and
guests. In their current locations, they state they have five to six visitors a day and six
daytime and three evening staff. Twenty five parking spaces should be more than
adequate for this parking need.
The city's two existing assisted living facilities (Lakeview Commons - 1200 Lakewood
Drive and Homestead at Maplewood - 1890 Sherren Avenue) were approved with
parking reductions. Lakeview Commons has 100 units with 62 parking spaces and
Homestead at Maplewood has 62 units with approximately 40 parking spaces. In
addition, the reduction in the number of parking spaces will reduce the amount of
impervious surface on the property.
City code requires parking spaces for multiple dwellings to be 9.5 feet wide by 18 feet in
depth. The applicant is requesting that the city authorize the reduction of parking space
width from 9.5 feet to 9 feet. This width should be adequate for the use of the parking
spaces by the employees and visitors.
Unit Floor Area
City code requires that multiple dwelling units maintain at least 580 square feet in area
for an efficiency or one - bedroom unit. The unit sizes proposed at Comforts of Home
include units which are 221 to 360 square feet in area. The units are smaller due to the
fact that they only include a private bathroom and separate bedroom /living area. Some
of the units have kitchenettes. The residents will have access to the on -site kitchen
facilities and living /common areas. The applicant is requesting that the city authorize a
359 square foot floor area reduction in the required unit floor area as part of the PUD.
El
Wetland
The pond located to the east of the property is called Knuckle Head Pond. This is a
Class 4 designated wetland. City code requires an average wetland buffer of 25 feet,
and a minimum buffer of 20 feet to the delineated wetland edge. The proposed building
will come within 25 feet of the wetland at the southeast corner of the building, and
exceed the 25 -foot setback in all other areas of the building. The Ramsey Washington
Metro Watershed District has reviewed the preliminary plans and has no major concerns
with the development.
Conditions of approval should include that the applicant install wetland buffer signs
which indicate that no mowing, cutting, or building is permitted within the 25 -foot buffer
and that they obtain a permit from the watershed district.
Grading /Drainage
Michael Thompson, civil engineer, reviewed the original and revised grading and
drainage plans and submitted an engineering plan review (Attachment 14). Mr.
Thompson's main concerns were addressed by the applicant in the April 25, 2006,
revised grading and drainage plans. In summary, the engineering plan review states
that the applicants need to enter into a maintenance agreement to ensure the long -term
operation and maintenance of the infiltration basin and enter into a development
agreement with the city to ensure all construction activities conform to Maplewood's
standards and to ensure the future construction of the sidewalk.
Design Review
Site Plan
The building and parking lot meet all required setbacks. A revised site plan should be
submitted, however, which matches the proposed grading and drainage plan and
reflects the required berm on the north side of the property.
Buildina Desian
The building is 27,055 square feet overall, with 13,795 square feet on the upper floor
and 13,260 square feet on the lower floor. The exterior of the building will have a
cultured stone veneer wainscot and brick veneer on the first floor and Hard ipanel board
and batten vertical siding on the second floor. The building will have asphalt shingles
and Hardishingle in the false dormers. The building is attractive and will be compatible
to the surrounding residential uses.
Tree Preservation /Landscaoina
The city's tree preservation ordinance requires the replacement of all large trees
removed, but in no case does a developer have to replace more than ten trees per acre.
A large tree is defined as a tree with a diameter of 8 inches at a 4 -foot trunk height,
except for boxelders, cottonwood, and poplars. There are 70 large trees located on this
property. With the development, 26 of those trees will be removed. The property is
3.025 acres, and based on city code requirements, the developer would have to replace
all 26 of the trees removed.
5
The April 25, 2006, revised landscape plan includes 35 trees as follows: 27 evergreen
trees (2 Austrian pine and 25 Colorado spruce), 5 deciduous trees (2 Patmore ash and 3
sugar maple), and 3 ornamental trees (3 spring snow crab apple). In addition to the
trees, the landscape plan includes 6 dwarf winged euonymus, 16 scandia juniper, and
22 magic carpet spirea. Following are recommended changes to the landscape plan:
1. The Colorado blue spruce should be changed to Black Hills spruce
2. Plantings should be shown in the infiltration pond and rainwater garden. The
plantings should include pre - approved native seed mixtures.
3. The landscape area called out on the main floor plan in front of the entry
canopies (sheet A2) should be reflected on the landscape plan.
4. A planting bed should be included in the interior of the loop driveway (in between
the driveway and the road).
5. Two additional sugar maple trees should be planted along Hazelwood Street
6. All landscaping (excluding landscaping within the infiltration basin and rainwater
garden) must be irrigated. The landscape plan must reflect the location of all
required underground irrigation sprinkler heads.
7. All disturbed areas must be restablished with turf.
8. The applicant should attempt to save the large oak tree located on the southeast
side of the building (Tree #573 — 30" oak) and must take all means necessary to
protect all other large trees scheduled to be preserved on the property during
construction of the facility.
City code requires that a lighting and photometrics plan be submitted with this type of
development. The plan should show that the light illumination at all property lines does
not exceed .4 foot candles of light illumination and that the freestanding lights are 25 feet
in height or less.
The plan shows two freestanding lights located on the west side of the parking lot and
seven wall pack lights located on the east side of the building. The architectural style of
the downcast lights matches the building design and will be an attractive design element
to the site. The light illumination at all property lines is .0 foot candles, which exceeds
city requirements. However, the height of the freestanding lights is not specified and
should be included on the plan.
Dumpster Enclosure
City code requires trash and recycling dumpsters to be screened. The applicants
propose to screen their dumpster and recycling with a 140 square foot building located
on the northeast side of the parking lot. The building will be constructed of cultured
A
stone and Hardishingle notched panels. The building will match the design of the main
building.
Signs
As part of the PUD approval, the city should require that all signs be approved by the
CDRB. No signs have been submitted with this proposal. However, the site plan does
show a freestanding sign located along Hazelwood Street. This sign, and any other
proposed signage, must be approved by the CDRB prior to issuance of a sign permit.
COMMITTEE ACTIONS
On May 1, 2006, the planning commission recommended approval of the
comprehensive land use plan change, rezoning, and CUP for the proposed Comforts of
Home (refer to the May 1, 2006, planning commission minutes attached).
On May 9, 2006, the community design review board recommended approval of the
design review for the proposed Comforts of Home (refer to the May 9, 2006, community
design review board minutes attached).
OTHER COMMENTS
Police Department: Lieutenant Michael Shortreed has the following comments and
suggestions for the Comforts of Home development:
Construction site thefts and burglaries are a large problem affecting many large
construction projects throughout the Twin Cities metro area. The contractor
should be encouraged to plan and provide for site security during the
construction process. On -site security, alarm systems, and any other appropriate
security measures would be highly encouraged to deter and report theft and
suspicious activity incidents in a timely manner.
2. Appropriate security and exterior lighting should be provided and maintained in
order to assure that the entry to and exit from the facility is readily recognizable
and accessible.
3. Appropriate staffing should be available to assure that residents with Alzheimer's
disease do not walk away from the facility, especially with a state highway
(Highway 36) being located just north of the facility.
Building Department: Dave Fisher, building official, has the following comments and
suggestions for the Comforts of Home development:
The city will require a complete building code analysis when the construction
plans are submitted for a building permit.
2. Provide public restrooms.
3. Provide adequate fire department access to the buildings.
7
4. Contact the state fire marshal office to verify any regulations they may have for
assisted living facilities.
5. The building is required to be sprinklered.
6. 1 would recommend a preconstruction meeting with the contractor, the project
manager, and the city building inspection department.
Fire Department: Butch Gervais, fire marshal, states that the building must have a
sprinkler system (per code) and a fire alarm system (per code).
RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the proposed comprehensive land use change resolution attached
(Attachment 15). This resolution changes the land use plan from business
commercial (BC) to high multiple dwelling residential (R -3H) for the properties at
2300 and 2310 Hazelwood Street. The city bases these changes on the
following findings:
a. This site is proper for and consistent with the city's policies for high -
density residential use. This includes:
1) Having a variety of housing types for all types of residents,
regardless of age, ethnic, racial, cultural or socioeconomic
background. A diversity of housing types should include
apartments, town houses, manufactured homes, single - family
housing, public- assisted housing and low- to moderate - income
housing, and rental and owner - occupied housing.
2) Promote a variety of housing types, costs and ownership options
throughout the city. These are to meet the life -cycle needs of all
income levels, those with special needs and nontraditional
households.
3) The city will continue to provide dispersed locations for a diversity
of housing styles, types and price ranges through its land use
plan.
4) The city's long -term stability of its tax base depends upon its
ability to attract and keep residents of all ages. To do so, the city
must insure that a diverse mix of housing styles is available in
each stage of the life cycle of housing needs.
5) It is located off an arterial street, on a collector.
6) It is located near a park, open space, and wetlands.
2. Approve the conditional use permit resolution attached (Attachment 16). This
resolution authorizes a conditional use permit for a multiple dwelling planned unit
development within the BC zoning district. The multiple dwelling development is
9
a 42 -unit assisted living facility at 2300 and 2310 Hazelwood Street. Approval is

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Staff surveyed the 64 surrounding property owners within 500 feet of this site for their
comments. Following are the replies received:
Supports the Project
Roy Pogue, 1516 Cope Avenue (telephone conversation): Okay with the use. It
looks like a nice building. They should attempt to save as many trees as
possible. Aren't they concerned about the vacant house across the street?
2. Mary Diebel, 1509 Cope Avenue (written response): Great idea — sounds good
to us. Please keep us informed.
3. Bee and Houa Moua, 1531 Viking Drive East (written response): I feel that this is
a great idea. Living across the street will give us a pleasant view. Comforts of
Home will be a great building to replace the two old buildings.
4. Robert Dunkel, President of Maplewood Park Shores Townhomes, 1626 Cope
Avenue (written response): Comforts of Home will be a great asset to the City of
Maplewood. We welcome Comforts of Home care center to our neighborhood.
5. Eugene Morisset, 1526 Sherren Avenue (written response): I think Comforts of
Home would be a welcomed addition to the neighborhood.
Opposes the Project
Dennis and Kaye Norbeck, 1502 Sherren Avenue (written response): We are in
opposition to this being put at this location. There is a daycare center (licensed
daycare) directly across from the proposed facility on the corner of Sherren and
Hazelwood on the southwest corner. The traffic that will ensue will be more than
the street of Sherren Avenue is able to handle. We feel that the space (area)
proposed for the Comforts of Home is inadequate for its future residents to walk
outdoors and or exercise. Therefore, we are sure that there will need to be
improvements for all the residents to take a walk! That means upgrading
Sherren Avenue with possibly sidewalk and curbing. We will have the staff and
visitors from the Comforts of Home going up and down this block long street at all
times of the day and night. We then will also have to contend with the
ambulance and other emergency vehicles that will be needed for residents of this
facility and the noise that they create at all times of the day and night. There will
be a need for sewer, water, street maintenance due to increased traffic flow and
who is going to get hit with these assessments ? ?? We, all the people on
Sherren Avenue!!! Of the residents on Sherren Avenue, one half of them are
retirees on fixed incomes. We moved here in 1967 and very much enjoy the
quiet one block long street and the neighborhood. This will have a great impact
on this neighborhood!
12
2. Richard Low, 1511 Sherren Avenue (written response): I am totally against the
development. I have major concerns about the safety of my neighborhood.
Parking and unwanted extra traffic on my street will disrupt my quiet close -knit
street. I think it will also bring crime and arg bage and trash to our yards and
street.
3. Violet Gallion, 1494 Sherren Avenue (telephone conversation): Concerned about
additional traffic on Sherren Avenue and about existing traffic on Hazelwood.
Concerns with the Proiect
Mary Jo Freer, 2255 Hazelwood Street (telephone conversation): There is a lot
of traffic on Hazelwood and Highway 36. Her concern is for that type of use on
those busy roads. What if someone from the facility wanders out and walks into
traffic? The use doesn't bother her in general; it just seems as if it should be
located somewhere else.
2. Robert Carye, 2291 Hazelwood Street (telephone conversation): Mr. Carye and
his wife do not directly oppose the Comforts of Home project, but want to ensure
there are no problems with on- street parking with the city's approval of reduced
parking and they want to ensure there is as little impacts to the wetland as
possible.

Criteria for Land Use Plan Change
There are no specific criteria for a land use plan change. Any land use plan change
should be consistent with the goals and policies in the city's comprehensive plan.
The land use plan has eleven general land use goals. Of these, three apply to
this proposal including minimize land planned for streets, minimize conflicts
between land uses and provide many housing types.
2. The land use plan also has several general development and residential
development policies that relate to this project including:
a. Transitions between distinctly differing types of land uses should not
create a negative economic, social or physical impact on adjoining
developments.
b. Include a variety of housing types for all types of residents, regardless of
age, ethnic, racial, cultural or socioeconomic background. A diversity of
housing types should include apartments, town houses, manufactured
homes, single- family housing, public- assisted housing and low- to
moderate - income housing, and rental and owner - occupied housing.
C. Protect neighborhoods from encroachment or intrusion of incompatible
land uses by adequate buffering and separation.
14
3. The housing plan also has policies about housing diversity and quality that the
city should consider with this development including:
a. Promote a variety of housing types, costs and ownership options
throughout the city. These are to meet the life -cycle needs of all income
levels, those with special needs and nontraditional households.
b. The city will continue to provide dispersed locations for a diversity of
housing styles, types and price ranges through its land use plan.
C. The city's long -term stability of its tax base depends upon its ability to
attract and keep residents of all ages. To do so, the city must insure that
a diverse mix of housing styles is available in each stage of the life cycle
of housing needs.
Criteria for Design Review
Section 2 -290 of the city code requires that the CDRB make the following findings to
approve plans:
That the design and location of the proposed development and its relationship to
neighboring, existing or proposed developments, and traffic is such that it will not
impair the desirability of investment or occupation in the neighborhood; that it will
not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring, existing or
proposed developments; and that it will not create traffic hazards or congestion.
2. That the design and location of the proposed development is in keeping with the
character of the surrounding neighborhood and is not detrimental to the
harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by this article and
the city's comprehensive municipal plan.
3. That the design and location of the proposed development would provide a
desirable environment for its occupants, as well as for its neighbors, and that it is
aesthetically of good composition, materials, textures and colors.
Application Date
The complete application and plans for this proposal were submitted on April 11, 2006.
State law requires that the city take action within 60 days of receiving complete
applications for a land use proposal. City council action is required on this proposal by
June 10, 2006, unless the applicant agrees to a time extension.

Attachment 1
Comforts of Home is an Assisted Living and memory Care/Alzheimer Community
designed to assist those with mild to high levels of personal cares in a warm, home-like
environment. Our suites offer private bathrooms, a separate bedroom area and living
room with a tea kitchen that includes a sink, refrigerator, and microwave. Our
community provides a cozy and secure setting that ensures independence, dignity and
safety.
Comforts of Home is focusing on needs not being met by other assisted living and
memory care communities. We offer a higher level of care and service to our residents
so we can reach out to those in nursing homes that are not in need of 24 hour skilled care.
We are filling a gap in the continuum of care by fulfilling the needs of those caught
between traditional assisted living and those individuals requiring more extensive care.
Many traditional assisted living communities will not admit residents that need extensive
levels of care. Comforts of Home would like to fulfill this niche that is needed.
Residents at Comforts of Home can enjoy their private suites and retain their
independence, while also enjoying the peace of mind that comes with 24 -hour assistance.
Comforts of Home is a proponent of aging in place. As a resident's frailty level
increases, we work with family members to provide or coordinate the necessary health
care resources. Our philosophy, staff training, and the use of community resources are
geared to allow residents to remain in our Dome -like setting.
At Comforts of Home, we think you should only pay for the services and care you need.
Our rates are competitive and much lower than a nursing home rate. It is important to us
at Comforts of Home to meet the needs of seniors or people under the age of 65 who are
on the Elderly Waiver or CADI program. Therefore, we work closely with the county on
these programs. Our rates are mostly inclusive and the include your personal cares, 24
hour on site home care staff, Registered Nurse and LPN support, caregiver respond
system, all meals, housekeeping, linen/laundry, monthly suite rent, all utilities and cable.
We also have our own staff of physicians working with us at all of the communities.
Our buildings are designed with residents' comfort and needs foremost in mind. We
offer cozy sitting areas for socializing with friends and family. Each day in our
community there are planned activities to meet individual needs — music, exercise,
outings, entertainment, reminiscing and sensory stimulation. Social activities and events
are offered throughout the day by our activity coordinator, so it is easy to make new
friends. Family is very important at Comforts of Home, we invite and encourage them to
participate in activities and support groups.
Our philosophy is to provide quality care to each resident at a competitive price with a
personal touch. Our buildings are small and intimate which creates a cozy, comforting
feeling. We value the relationships we build with our employees and the communities by
creating stable, rewarding and good paying jobs, which in Maplewood, we expect to be at
least 30 professional employment opportunities.

Subject: Comforts of Home
Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) Review # S 06-040
Southeast quadrant of Trunk Highway (TH) 36 and Hazelwood Street
City of Maplewood/Ramsey County
Mn/DOT Control Section # 6211
Dear Mr. Roberts:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the above-referenced site plan. Mn/DOT Metro District
has reviewed the plan, and has the following comments:
Transportation System Improvements:
Trunk Highway 36 is included in the Mn/DOT Metro District 2008 — 2030
Transportation System Plan (TSP). The performance based analysis conducted for the
TSP indicates that additional lanes are currently needed on TH 36. The long term plan is
to convert TH 36 to a freeway in this area. But, since it is a fiscally constrained plan.,
funding for the widening of TH 36 has not been identified within the TSP time frame.
Mien the widening of TH 36 does take place, the TH 36 access at Hazelwood Street will
be closed. In addition, the issue of the pedestrian crossing at Hazelwood Street will need
to be addressed. Bridge replacement projects may be completed during the 2008 — 2030
time period. For questions on these points, please call Marc Goess, Mn/DOT Metro
District North Area Engineer, at (65 1) 5821301.
Permits:
Any use of or work within or affecting Mn/DOT right of way requires a permit. Permit
forms are available from MnDOT's utility website at
www.dot.state.mn.us/tecsu,p/utilitv . Please direct any questions regarding permit
requirements to Buck Craig (651-582-1447) of MnDOT's Metro Permits Section.
Noise:
• Mn/DOT's policy is to assist local governments in promoting compatibility between land
use and highways. Residential uses located adjacent to highways often result in
complaints about traffic noise.
An equal opportunity employer
Traffic noise from this highway could exceed noise standards established by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development, and the U,S. Department of Transportation, Minnesota Rule
7030.0030 states that municipalities are responsible for taking all reasonable measures to
prevent land use activities listed in the MPCA's Noise Area Classification (NAC) where
the establishment of the land use would result in violations of established noise standards.
Mn/DOT policy regarding development adjacent to existing highways prohibits the
expenditure of highway funds for noise mitigation measures in such areas. The project
proposer should assess the noise situation and take the action deemed necessary to
minimize the impact of any highway noise. If you have any questions regarding
Mn/DOT's noise policy please contact Peter Wasko in our Design section at (651) 582-
193.
State Aid Roadway:
As a reminder, Hazelwood Street is Municipal State Aid (MSA) Roadway Route 112.
Any work on a MSA route must meet State Aid rules and policies. Also, the City must
review any changes to its MSA Roadway system so that they stay within its system
limitations. Please note that MSA 112 is Ramsey County's jurisdiction and the County
must have the opportunity to review and comment on the development as well. You may
obtain additional information regarding State Aid rules and policies in any of the
following ways:
htti)://www.dot,state.rnn.us/stateaid/ shows or has links to the applicable forms and
the Mn/DOT State Aid Manual.
> Refer to the Mn/DOT State Aid Manual, Chapter 5-892.200 for information
regarding standards and policies.
>, Please go to htt-o://www.revisor,leg.state.n for information regarding
State Aid Operations Rules Chapter 8820.
> For driveway standards, the designer is directed to refer to the Mn/DOT Road Design
Manual (English) Table 5-3.04A and Figure 5-3.04A for guidance and policies.
Please contact Jim Deeny in our State Aid section at (651) 582-1389 with any
additional questions.
As a reminder, please address all initial future correspondence for development activity such as
plats and site plans to:
Development Review Coordinator
Mn/DOT - Metro Division
Waters Edge
1500 West County Road B-2
Roseville, Minnesota 55113
Mn/DOT document submittal guidelines require three (3) complete copies of plats and two (2)
copies of other review documents including site plans. Failure to provide three (3) copies of a
plat and/or two (2) copies of other review documents will make a submittal incomplete and delay
Mn/DOT's 30-day review and response process to development proposals.
We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in providing the necessary number of copies, as this
will prevent us from having to delay and/or return incomplete submittals.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 651-582-1548.

Engineering Plan Review
PROJECT: Comforts of Home
PROJECT NO: 06-06
REVIEWED BY: Michael Thompson, Maplewood Engineering Department
DATE: 05-11-06 (Amended 4-25-06 Comments Reflecting Latest Plan Submittal)
The developer is requesting City approval to redevelop two lots located on the southeast comer of
Highway 36 and Hazelwood. The developer shall make the changes to the plans and site as noted
below and shall address the concerns listed below.
Drainage & Storm Water Treatment
1. Soil boring information in the approximate location of the proposed infiltration basin shall
be submitted.
Landscape
I . On the sheet titled "Final Erosion & Sediment Control Plan" under the Permanent Erosion
& Sediment Control Methods paragraph there is information for pond seed and mulch.
This information should be shown on the landscape plan sheet in order for the contractor to
clearly distinguish the required permanent turf establishment for the basin and garden area.
Coordination with the City's naturalist for plantings in the garden and infiltration basin is
recommended at the time of permanent establishment.
Utilities
Submit plans to Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) located at 1900 Rice St, 2nd
Floor for their review and approval.
2. Plans shall conform to any conditions generated by staff at Ramsey-Washington Metro
Watershed District.
Miscellaneous
This assisted living facility is for those in need to specialized care and traffic would mainly
reflect employee trips. This type of facility should see little in the way of traffic as
compared to a two story office building as presented to the planning commission by Shann
Finwall with information provided by Thomas Sohrweide of S.E.H., Manager Traffic
Engineering Services.
2. The revised plan now shows berming and 25 trees to be planted along the north side and
northwest corner of the development addressing earlier comments by the city related to
noise mitigation. Other requirements may still be required.
3. A maintenance agreement for the infiltration basin will be required and must be signed
prior to approval of plans. The developer shall have responsibility for the long term
operation and maintenance of the basin. Please make this change on the sheet titled Final
Erosion & Sediment Control Plan under the responsibility requirements paragraph.
4. The developer shall ensure that all construction activities conform to Maplewood's
standards by entering into a Development Agreement with the city. As Mr. Ahl discussed
in the Planning Commission meeting, Hazelwood Street is scheduled for improvements in
2009. After recent staff discussion, the sidewalk construction should not occur at this time
rather an escrow taken for the cost of the sidewalk from the developer. This will be in the
developer agreement. The concern is that the City, at this time, does not know the exact
street alignment, width, or drainage improvements needed on Hazelwood Street until a
feasibility study is completed. So there is a possibility the sidewalk would be torn out to
match up with the future improvements.

360 square foot units are proposed).
6. The project is approved with a 0.5 -foot parking space width reduction (9.5 foot
wide parking spaces are required per city code, 9 -foot wide parking spaces are
proposed).
7. All signs on the property must be approved by the community design review
board.
8. The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of city
council approval or the permit shall end. The city council may extend this
deadline for one year.
9. The city council shall review this permit in one year.
The Maplewood City Council approved this resolution on May 22, 2006.

MINUTES OF THE MAPLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION
1830 COUNTY ROAD B EAST, MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA
MONDAY, MAY 1, 2006
V. PUBLIC HEARING
a. Comforts of Home Senior Housing (2300 and 2310 Hazelwood Street) (7:08 —8:06 p.m.)
Ms. Finwall said Mathew Frisbie of Frisbie Architects, Inc., representing Comforts of Home, LLC,
is proposing to redevelop two lots located on the southeast corner of Highway 36 and Hazelwood
Street (2300 and 2310 Hazelwood Street). The two lots currently contain the vacant Auto Glass
Specialists store and an electrical contractor's office. The proposed use will be a 42 -unit, two -
story, assisted living facility. The facility will also include memory care, respite care, and a hospice
facility with 24 -hour, on -site homecare staff.
On January 3, 2006, the planning commission reviewed concept plans for the Comforts of Home
development. During the meeting items discussed and areas of concern included: Highway 36
improvements, noise and parking.
There are currently two Comforts of Home facilities operating in the Twin City Metropolitan area,
Blaine and Hugo. In summary, Comforts of Home is an assisted living and memory
care /Alzheimer community designed to assist those needing mild to high levels of personal care.
The facility will have 42 private suites, a large kitchen, group dining/living/activity areas, and a
beauty shop. Each suite has a private bathroom and a separate bedroom /living area. Some of the
units would have kitchenettes. The facility has 24 -hour, on -site home care and nursing staff. The
facility will provide the residents' meals, housekeeping, and laundry service.
Commissioner Hess asked about the condition of Hazelwood Street and when it would be
repaired?
Chuck Ahl, Maplewood Public Works Director said Hazelwood Street is on the state aid system, it
is a city street, however it has a higher designation and the city receives gas tax funds supportive
of that program. The state hasn't raised the state gas tax since 1988 so the community is way
behind in the construction of streets. Hazelwood Street has been delayed a number of years.
Hazelwood Street is now scheduled for reconstruction in 2010. This road is pretty busted up but it
will be reconstructed and the benefiting property owners will pay for that based on the city policies
because everyone shares in the cost of roadway reconstruction.
Commissioner Hess asked if the end of Hazelwood Street is scheduled to be closed off with the
expansion of Highway 36?
Planning Commission -2-
Minutes of 05 -01 -06
Mr. AN said there is no direct answer to that question because that is currently being negotiated.
Many years ago Hazelwood Street used to extend across the freeway going north and south and
it was a full intersection with Highway 36. In the early 1970's MnDOT closed that intersection and
made that a right in and right out with a promise to the City of Maplewood to install an interchange
at some point in the future. Unfortunately 30 years later MnDOT indicated they don't have the
funds to put an interchange in for another 30 years. MnDOT's commitment to build an interchange
is over 60 years from their original commitment. The city is in the process to negotiate with
MnDOT that this should be put in the program. However, the city and the community have not
focused on whether they want an interchange here or not so a final decision has not been made
yet from a public safety standpoint. It is nice to connect the north and the south side. It may
change the character of the neighborhood with more traffic on Hazelwood Street. It's not currently
that kind of roadway where that would happen. The city is in the process of looking at the issues
and whether or not there should be an interchange at English Street instead and not have the
connection at Hazelwood Street. Based on his understanding of how MnDOT works and the
access guidelines, that connection will probably be closed in the next 10 years.
Commissioner Pearson said on the blue prints he noticed a 30 foot offset from Highway 36. He
asked if that was the current easement or what part of that would be taken if Highway 36 would be
expanded and how would that affect the parking for Comforts of Home?
Mr. AN said the 30 foot offset is from the right of way line. The additional lane on Highway 36, if
they reconstruct it, would simply add about 12 to 14 feet to the edge of the roadway. There is
probably not a lot of right of way needed on Highway 36 so he would expect the 30 feet is more
than adequate.
Commissioner Pearson said this is limited parking and staff mentioned Lakewood Commons and
the activities they hold. Lakewood Commons has several promotions throughout the year and
have a lot of cars that park on Maryland Avenue on both sides. He gets a lot of cars from
Lakewood Commons parked in his neighborhood. In previous discussions with the developer for
Comforts of Home they stated they don't hold those types of events and would not have a parking
shortage. He wondered if that parking space clause should be included in the conditions to protect
the residents in the neighborhood. The parking issue could cause a serious parking problem if
Comforts of Home were to hold the same type of events as Lakewood Commons.
Ms. Finwall said she received a letter from a Maplewood resident regarding this proposal later
than when the report was sent out. It was from Mr. Robert Carey, a property owner at 2291
Hazelwood Street. His concern was the parking situation and the wetlands. She assured the
property owner that the people that would live at this assisted living home would not have their
own vehicles. If there is a concern regarding the parking, that condition could be added to the list
of conditions in the staff report.
Acting Chairperson Trippler asked if parking would be allowed on Hazelwood Street?
Mr. AN said he didn't believe Hazelwood Street was restricted parking at this point and time.
Under reconstruction Hazelwood Street would likely be restricted. There may be some parking
bays installed that would be part of the design conditions. In all cases there would be no overnight
parking.
Planning Commission -3-
Minutes of 05 -01 -06
Acting Chairperson Trippler said on a facility of this size, if there were parking bays, how many
cars would staff anticipate this area could accommodate?
Mr. AN said in looking at the site plan it may accommodate a dozen parking bays.
Acting Chairperson Trippler asked if staff thought there is enough space to consider proof of
parking for this proposal?
Mr. AN said looking at the site plan, the infiltration basins and some of the wetland characteristics,
staff would say it would be difficult. When some of the right of way gets reconstructed until
Highway 36, the parking lot could expand into the 30 foot area as proof of parking. However,
looking at the site plan, proof of parking does not look too realistic.
Commissioner Yarwood said staff indicated the city code does not deal directly with assisted living
facilities or have an ordinance and he wondered if the city should consider an ordinance that deals
more directly with these types of developments because they are somewhat unique.
Ms. Finwall said the CDRB and PC are interested in reviewing the parking regulations which
would include parking requirements for assisted living facilities. As far as other areas of an
assisted living facility such as unit floor area, the city has only had 3 requests in the last 15 years
for assisted living facilities so the city has not felt a real need to have an ordinance in that regard.
Commissioner Pearson said he didn't see anything on the plans that represented a storm shelter
or basement area of if there will be a basement, will it serviced by an elevator?
Ms. Finwall said she would like the applicant to speak further on this. She said there will be an
elevator. Looking at the grading plan the southwest corner will be underground.
Commissioner Pearson asked if the basement would be a finished area with seating for the
residents or just an open basement area for people.
Ms. Finwall said several of the suites are located in the basement area and there is a large
hallway with no windows which could be a point of gathering for emergencies. However, the
applicant could elaborate more on this subject.
Commissioner Hess asked about the security and safety for these high level Alzheimer's patients
and what keeps them from wandering out of the building and onto Highway 36?
Ms. Finwall said the Maplewood Police Department reviewed this proposal and Lieutenant
Michael Shortreed had concerns about that and wrote appropriate staffing should be available to
assure that residents with Alzheimer's disease do not walk away from the facility, especially with
Highway 36 located just north of the proposed facility.
Acting Chairperson Trippler said under the noise section of the staff report it states there shall be
a condition for a six to eight foot berm but in the conditions it only shows a four foot to six foot
berm.
Ms. Finwall said that was a staff error and would correct that in the staff report.
Planning Commission -4-
Minutes of 05 -01 -06
Acting Chairperson Trippler said he had concerns with the comment in the staff report that there
would only be 3 staff members for 42 residents living at this proposed facility. Some patients
would have Alzheimer's and with the proximity of Highway 36 and the possibility for a patient to
wander outside this issue concerns him. He asked about the berm the city is requesting the
applicant to build. It seems it may be difficult to construct an 8 foot berm with the location of the
retention pond.
Mr. AN said the city is asking for revised grading plans and site plans because the site needs to
be reengineered. Michael Thompson, Maplewood Civil Engineer, discussed this with their site
engineer and that doesn't seem to be a problem.
Acting Chairperson Trippler asked about the unit floor area. The staff report shows the units would
be 221 to 360 square feet in size. A room that is 221 square feet in size has the dimensions of 11
X 20 which seems awfully small. He asked if staff could comment on how common that is for
assisted living space.
Ms. Finwall said Lakewood Commons was also approved with a floor area reduction. These
smaller units are sleeping units with a small bathroom.
Acting Chairperson Trippler said the applicant is asking the city to authorize a 359 square foot
floor area reduction in the required unit floor area as part of the PUD which is more than a 50%
reduction in what the code requires and that seems very small to him.
Ms. Finwall said if the city had a code that clearly addressed assisted living facilities, the city
would want to look at the overall common area as well which is quite extensive in this proposal.
There is a large living room, a lounge, a dining room, and an activity room and that should be
taken into account. This would allow for privacy in their room but allows the resident to be active in
the larger areas of the facility.
Acting Chairperson Trippler would like staff to address the comments that came up regarding the
people that were opposed to this project. The overriding theme in the staff report related to traffic
concerns on Sherren Avenue.
Mr. AN said the comments from the neighbors that were received were regarding potential traffic
concerns on Sherren Avenue. It is staff's opinion that other than a stray vehicle that may be lost
most cars would be driving to the assisted living facility to visit someone or it would be an
employee driving to work so the traffic would be minimal. If something other than this assisted
living facility was built here the traffic would be more of a concern and cause more vehicle trips as
was stated in the staff report.
Commissioner Dierich asked if there was any possibility this building could be turned into a
nursing home at some point since this building would have a nursing home design?
Ms. Finwall said a nursing home would be a conditional use permit in any zoning district so this
would need some sort of an amendment to convert this building from an assisted living facility to a
nursing home.
Acting Chairperson Trippler asked the applicant to address the commission.
Planning Commission -5-
Minutes of 05 -01 -06
Mr. Mathew Frisbie, Frisbie Architects, 215 North 2 nd Street, River Falls, Wisconsin, addressed
the commission. He said this building would be constructed with window and wall construction
built according to the Minnesota building code and the noise standards they would be required to
follow. The smaller unit size takes into account that this is governed by the state health
department to determine the living size. It takes into account the bathroom, common spaces,
dining and living space. The parking reduction is fairly equal to the other facilities they have in the
Twin Cities. The memory care units are on the south side of the building in a self - contained wing
of the building. The whole building is secure and there is an outdoor space for the memory care
patients with a decorative fence around a portion of the exterior to allow the residents to step
outside but in a secured enclosure. This assisted living facility gets reviewed by the state for their
license to operate.
Acting Chairperson Trippler asked staff to put the site plan on the screen that represents where
the patio area would be for the memory care patients.
Staff pointed out the patio area on the site plan.
Mr. Frisbie said this is a smaller outside space to keep the residents fairly close to the building.
The memory care patients do not have access to the whole building.
Acting Chairperson Trippler asked what the size of the patio would be?
Mr. Frisbie said the patio would be about 300 to 350 square feet in size.
Acting Chairperson Trippler asked out of the 42 units how many of those units would be housed
by Alzheimer patients?
Ms. Wendy Fritz, Comforts of Home, 2340 East County Road J, White Bear Township, addressed
the commission. She said there would be about 12 Alzheimer patients.
Commissioner Yarwood asked if they expected the rest of the residents to be able to go outside
for a walk or enjoy the outdoors as well?
Ms. Fritz said the site is secured so the residents cannot freely exit the building on their own and
the outdoor space is enclosed. The patients that do not have dementia have access to the
outdoor space.
Commissioner Qierich asked if staff could point out the portion of the building that would house
the patients that need memory care?
Commissioner Yarwood said sometimes when you go to visit loved ones you like to sit outside or
take them for a walk. The outdoor space shown on the plan does not appear very large. Is there
enough room for families to sit outdoors and enjoy the space together? It would be a good idea to
have a sidewalk for family members to take their loved one for a walk as well.
Ms. Fritz said if the family wants to take responsibility for their loved one while they go for a walk
then sure, they can do that.
Planning Commission -6-
Minutes of 05 -01 -06
Mr. Frisbee said there are areas for the patients to step outside. He asked Beth to come forward
and speak regarding this proposal.
Ms. Beth Dace, representing Comforts of Home, 2340 East County Road J, White Bear Township,
addressed the commission. She said many of the residents can't go outside and walk because of
the higher levels of acuity they require. Some of their other locations make it easier for a family
member to take their loved one outside. Comforts of Home in Blaine and Hugo have walking
programs where they walk in the building and do things with the activity coordinators. They also
offer an exercise program in some of the locations as well so walking is not too much of an issue.
Because of the clientele and their special needs it is hard for many patients to go outside and
walk.
Commissioner Hess said it appeared the outdoor space on the north side would be facing the
pond. He asked if there was a concrete apron and what the size of the patio space would be?
Mr. Frisbee said that space would face east and be approximately 15 X 40. There is a decorative
rail there and the space would overlook Knucklehead Lake.
Commissioner Hess said that space seems very small for the number of residents proposed for
this location. He asked if that could be enlarged?
Mr. Frisbee said it is possible to enlarge the patio, however, that is the size that has been built at
the other facilities.
Acting Chairperson Trippler asked how many people could be comfortably accommodated in that
area?
Mr. Frisbee said at the Hudson, Wisconsin facility they can comfortably accommodate four tables
with five people at a table.
Commissioner Dierich said she had questions regarding the types of residents that would be living
here. She is fairly familiar with assisted living and one of the issues she sees is having only six
staff members with 42 residents. That seems sparse to her especially with the needs of hospice
and Alzheimer's patients.
Ms. Doce said Comforts of Home can bring more staff on board as needed. They also have an
RN and an LPN on staff. Comforts of Home has more staff than most communities do. The staff
members can go back and forth from the memory care area to the assisted living portion of the
building. The residents of the assisted living portion of the building have a certain schedule and
have a call button if they need assistance and don't require as much one on one care. She said
Comforts of Home wants to give quality care to the residents and that is one thing they stand for.
Commissioner Pearson asked if Comforts of Home could explain their emergency management
plan for the patients?
Planning Commission -7-
Minutes of 05 -01 -06
Ms. Doce said Comforts of Home has an implemented weather plan and is stored in a book. They
work directly with the fire department for emergencies and the caregivers close the blinds or
curtains and the residents go to certain areas of their suites for safety. They also run emergency
drills with staff and the residents. Some residents are moved to the inside of their bathroom for
protection and other residents are assisted to the hallway area for protection. Last summer
Comforts of Home in Blaine had to implement the storm plan during the storm that took place.
Acting Chairperson Trippler said in attachment 1, paragraph 5, in the staff report it states familyis
very important at Comforts of Home, we invite and encourage them to participate in activities and
support groups. To him that statement is disconnected because on one hand Comforts of Home
has stated they don't need as many parking spaces yet they are encouraging visitors and family
members to visit where they could need more parking spaces. He asked for clarification.
Ms. Fritz said Comforts of Home does not hold large events like some of the other assisted living
facilities do so they would not need additional parking space. If that was a concern of the city
Comforts of Home could shuttle people in from another location. Comforts of Home is so confident
about the parking needs based on their parking history at their buildings that if the city would like
to put an amendment in the conditions stating that fact that would be fine with them.
Acting Chairperson Trippler asked on a typical day what kinds of social events would you have
where you would encourage family members to participate in and how many family members
would you anticipate having on a day -to -day basis.
Ms. Doce said based on the experience at the Blaine location she would estimate four to five cars
a day. During the day many family members are working. There are a few people that visit over
lunch but otherwise most of their visitors come in the evening or on the weekend. Visitors are
invited and encouraged to come for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The parking lot at the Blaine facility
is never full. People are just busy so there isn't a lot of people that come all at once.
Acting Chairperson Trippler asked how many residents there are at the Blaine location?
Ms. Doce said they have 29 residents at the Blaine location.
Acting Chairperson Trippler said the proposed Maplewood location would have 13 more people
than the Blaine location so he would guess there wouldn't be a parking problem based on those
statements made by representatives of Comforts of Home.
Acting Chairperson Trippler asked if anybody in the audience wanted to address the commission
regarding this proposal.
Nobody in the audience came forward to speak.
Acting Chairperson Trippler closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Dierich moved to approve the comprehensive land use plan from business
commercial (BC) to high multiple dwelling residential (R -3H) for the properties at 2300 and 2310
Hazelwood Street. The city bases these changes on the following findings:
Planning Commission -8-
Minutes of 05 -01 -06
a. This site is proper for and consistent with the city's policies for high- density residential use.
This includes:
1) Having a variety of housing types for all types of residents, regardless of age, ethnic,
racial, cultural or socioeconomic background. A diversity of housing types should include
apartments, town houses, manufactured homes, single- family housing, public- assisted
housing and low -to moderate - income housing, and rental and owner - occupied housing.
2) Promote a variety of housing types, costs and ownership options throughout the city.
These are to meet the life -cycle needs of all income levels, those with special needs and
nontraditional households.
3) The city will continue to provide dispersed locations for a diversity of housing styles,
types and price ranges through its land use plan.
4) The city's long -term stability of its tax base depends upon its ability to attract and keep
residents of all ages. To do so, the city must insure that a diverse mix of housing styles
is available in each stage of the life cycle of housing needs.
5) It is located off an arterial street, on a collector.
6) It is located near a park, open space, and wetlands.
Commissioner Dierich moved to approve the conditional use permit for a multiple dwelling
planned unit development within the BC zoning district. Approval is subject to several conditions
as outlined below:
a. Have the engineering department approve final construction and engineering plans.
These plans shall comply with all requirements as specified in the city engineering
department's April 25, 2006, engineering plan review including, but not limited to, the
installation of a six to eight foot high berm with evergreen tree plantings on the north side
of the lot (adjacent Highway 36) and the construction of a six -foot wide sidewalk along
the entire Hazelwood Street frontage.
b. All construction shall follow the plans date - stamped March 27, 2006, with revisions as
noted in this approval. The city council may approve major changes to the plans. The
Director of Community Development may approve minor changes to the plans.
C. The owner shall combine the two properties into one lot for tax identification purposes
before the city issues a building permit.
d. The applicant must provide the city with verification that the assisted living facility will
meet state noise standards. This can be accomplished through a study, testing or other
documentation. If the noise on this site is a factor, then the applicant will have to
construct the facility so it meets the standards. This may be done with thicker walls,
heavier windows, requiring air conditioning or other sound- deadening construction
methods.
Planning Commission -9-
Minutes of 05 -01 -06
e. The project is approved with a parking reduction of 59 parking spaces (84 parking
spaces are required per city code, 25 parking spaces proposed).
The project is approved with a 359 square foot area reduction in the required unit floor
area (580 square foot units are required per city code, 221 to 360 square foot units are
proposed).
g. All signs on the property must be approved by the community design review board.
h. The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of city council
approval or the permit shall end. The city council may extend this deadline for one year.
The city council shall review this permit in one year.
Commissioner Yarwood seconded. Ayes — Dierich, Hess, Kaczrowski, Pearson,
Trippler, Yarwood
The motion passed.
This item goes to the CDRB on Tuesday, May 9, 2006, and to the city council on Monday, May 22,

DRAFT
MINUTES OF THE MAPLEWOOD COMMUNITY DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
1830 COUNTY ROAD B EAST, MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA
TUESDAY, MAY 9, 2006
VI. DESIGN REVIEW
a. Comforts of Home Assisted Living Facility — 2300/2310 Hazelwood Street
Ms. Finwall said Mathew Frisbie of Frisbie Architects, Inc., representing Comforts of Home is
proposing to redevelop two lots located on the southeast corner of Highway 36 and Hazelwood
Street (2300 and 2310 Hazelwood Street). The two lots currently contain the vacant Auto
Glass store and an electrical contractor's office.
The proposed use on the 3.025 acre lot will be a 42 -unit, two- story, assisted living facility. The
facility will also include memory care, respite care, and a hospice facility with 24 -hour, on -site
homecare staff.
The planning commission recommended approval of the comprehensive land use plan change
and conditional use permit at their May 1, 2006, meeting. The community design review board
should make a recommendation on the design elements of the project including architectural,
site plan, landscaping, and lighting.
Ms. Finwall distributed a revised grading and drainage plan to the CDRB that staff received on
May 8, 2006.
Chairperson Olson said she read there was neighborhood opposition to this proposal based on
the potential traffic in the area which would require the city to upgrade Hazelwood Avenue.
Staff said Hazelwood Avenue was to be upgraded in 2009, she asked if that road was already
on the city's long range schedule for reconstruction or was it added to the construction
schedule because of this proposal?
Ms. Finwall said Hazelwood Avenue was on the city's road construction calendar to be
reconstructed in 2009 before this proposal came forward.
Chairperson Olson asked if the sidewalk for Comforts of Home would be deferred until 2009
because of the road improvement project?
Ms. Finwall said the city's engineering department felt it best to have the developer submit an
escrow for the sidewalk rather than build it right away. If the city required the developer to
install the sidewalk now the city may find out it did not meet the design standards and the
sidewalk would have to be removed and replaced in 2009.
Chairperson Olson asked if that was correct then the road assessments would not be charged
to the homeowners until 2009?
Ms. Finwall said that's correct as proposed in the city's capital improvement plan.
Community Design Review Board 2
Minutes 5 -09 -2006
Board member Shankar asked if there would be staff working in this facility such as dining
staff?
Ms. Finwall said there would be full time employees working at Comforts of Home. During the
day there would be 5 to 6 employees and in the evening they would have about 3 employees.
Board member Shankar asked if 25 parking stalls would be sufficient based on that count?
Ms. Finwall said because none of the residents would have vehicles, the only parking that
would be needed is for visitors and the employees. Comforts of Home said this type of parking
has worked at their other locations and they are confident the parking would be sufficient for
their needs at this site. The parking was discussed at length during the Planning Commission
meeting on May 1, 2006. The parking reduction was included as part of the PUD which was
reviewed and recommended for approval by the PC.
Board member Shankar asked if the residents would be transported by a van? Where would
the van park? Where would the van pick up the residents? He did not see a wide enough
parking stall on the parking plan.
Ms. Finwall said there is a drive aisle. In the event the transportation van picks the residents up
they could park the van in front of the building.
Board member Schurke asked staff about the recommendation to change the Colorado blue
spruce plantings to Black hills spruce on the landscaping plan? He asked if Black hills spruce
was native to Minnesota or what was the rationale for the change?
Ms. Finwall said the experience in Maplewood has been that the Colorado blue spruce tree
gets a fungus and doesn't last as long in Minnesota.
Board member Schurke asked if the recommendation for the 6 to 8 foot high berm was
primarily for noise mitigation from Highway 36?
Ms. Finwall said the engineering department recommended the berm for noise mitigation, but it
will also add a nice visual buffer from Highway 36 as well.
Board member Schurke asked if the noise study or documentation had been done yet for this
site?
Ms. Finwall said that information would be required prior to issuance of a building permit. That
information could come after the fact as well. The developer would also be using building
materials that are for noise reduction such as thicker walls, windows, and insulation.
Board member Hinzman asked about the revised grading and drainage plan and if that
satisfied the staff's concern about the additional berm height along Highway 36? It appears
some areas of the berm are only 3 feet in height.
Ms. Finwall said the revised grading and drainage plan was received by staff on Monday, May
8, 2006, and staff has not had the opportunity to have the engineering department review this.
Staff would have to verify that.
Community Design Review Board 3
Minutes 5 -09 -2006
Chairperson Olson said she watched the broadcast of the Planning Commission meeting on
Monday, May 1, 2006, and remembered there was quite a bit of discussion regarding the
berm. She asked if that information was included in the packet?
Ms. Finwall said the only thing that was included in the packet was the recommendation that
the berm be 6 to 8 feet in height.
Board member Schurke said that recommendation is shown in the staff report on page 10,
item 2. b.
Board member Schurke asked if Comforts of Home owns the island for Knuckle Head Lake?
The applicant shook his head no that they do not own the island for Knuckle Head Lake.
Chairperson Olson asked the applicant to address the board.
Mr. Mathew Frisbie, Frisbie Architects, 215 North 2" Street, Suite 204, River Falls, Wisconsin,
addressed the board.
Mr. Brian Winges, Owner of Comforts of Home, 2340 County Road J East, White Bear
Township, addressed the board. Mr. Winges said Comforts of Home serves the needs of
residents who need a lot of care. The residents would not be picked up and driven to a
shopping center for example because these are people that need help with getting dressed,
bathing, and sometimes assistance with eating. Family members may come and take their
loved one to the doctor or out for the day, but that would be about it. The parking requirements
are sufficient.
Chairperson Olson asked if they would anticipate having gatherings such as a Mothers Day
tea in the future? The reason she asked is because this would bring a lot of visitors and she
wondered where those people would park.
Mr. Winges said they do not hold large functions or parties at Comforts of Home facilities. The
issue of gatherings and parking needs was addressed with the planning commission. They
don't have the ability to have a large gathering here. The commons area is geared to a home-
like setting; there is no large dining room or anything like that. People are welcome to visit their
loved one anytime, Mothers Day, Christmas, or Thanksgiving but there is no large gatherings
scheduled for people to come all on one day. This is a very acute population and it can be
difficult to even get the residents mobile.
Chairperson Olson asked how many employees there would be?
Mr. Winges said they would have about 5 to 6 daytime employees and around 3 employees in
the evening. They have what is called a universal employee where they do all the functions
that are needed and move from one function to the other. They do not have a separate food
staff, cleaning staff, and nursing staff. This allows them a sufficient number of employees that
keep busy throughout the three shifts. Sometimes a manager stops in occasionally so that may
be an additional car in the parking lot; otherwise the parking needs are very similar from
location to location.
Community Design Review Board 4
Minutes 5 -09 -2006
Chairperson Olson said that doesn't sound like many employees to care for 42 residents;
especially depending on their care needs and only having 3 staff members at night.
Mr. Winges said those numbers are actually above the industry average. Some facilities only
have 1 staff member for 60 residents.
Chairperson Olson asked if the meals would be cooked on site or delivered to the facility?
Mr. Winges said the meals would be cooked on site; they try to have home cooked style
meals.
Chairperson Olson asked where delivery vehicles would be making deliveries?
Mr. Mark Paschke, Frisbie Architects, addressed the board. He said the drop off area would be
off of Hazelwood Avenue. There is a secondary exit directly off of the kitchen and that is where
most of the deliveries would occur on site. There would be two food deliveries per week. There
would also be a walk -in freezer and refrigerator which would allow for less food deliveries.
Chairperson Olson asked if there would be a laundry pick up and delivery service?
Mr. Winges said the laundry is done in -house for the residents by the employees so there
would be no laundry deliveries. The cost of the laundry service is included in the monthly living
expenses.
Chairperson Olson said it sounds like there would be minimal delivery trucks coming to this
facility.
Mr. Winges said yes, that is correct and that is another reason the Comforts of Home have
built in residential neighborhoods. They have always been concerned about traffic and things
of that nature. They have designed the building with that in mind and that is the way the
building is staffed. The laundry is done individually. Residents have their own sheets and their
own clothes. The laundry is not all dumped together and washed together. It's done
individually.
Board member Shankar asked if there is an outdoor space in the back of the facility?
Mr. Winges said yes.
Board member Shankar said it appears there is a large grade drop there. He asked if they are
concerned about that?
Mr. Frisbee said there is a fence and guard rail system on both levels.
Mr. Paschke said that is represented as A4 in the staff report and identifies the guard rail at
both levels.
Mr. Winges said the residents would go outside and sit down and enjoy the weather. They
would not be outside walking or hiking so it is not a problem to have a gated sitting area.
Community Design Review Board 5
Minutes 5 -09 -2006
Mr. Paschke said there is a third outdoor space on the front of the building on the south side
for the memory care patients.
Chairperson Olson asked if there is a separate locked area for the Alzheimer's patients or will
their individual units be secured?
Mr. Winges said there is a separate eating and activity area for the Alzheimer's patients.
Depending on the number of memory or Alzheimer's patients they do have the ability to lock
certain areas of the building.
Board member Hinzman said this is a great looking facility and this is going to be a nice
addition to this site. On the southeast corner of the building is a 30 -inch oak tree that is about
10 feet off the building site and is proposed to be eliminated. He asked if there would be a way
to save that tree?
Mr. Frisbee said he would have to look into that. They have adjusted the building to the south
to meet other requirements but they will check into the proximity of the oak tree. If there is a
way to shift the building to preserve the tree they will see what they can do.
Chairperson Olson said in looking at the grading and erosion control plan she was wondering if
they were proposing underground drainage from the rainwater garden into the wetland?
Mr. Frisbee said typically with a rainwater garden it's for pretreatment of the storm water so
they catch all the sediment and at some point there would be an overflow. They would then be
allowed to overflow into the wetland area so they can take a look at that.
Chairperson Olson asked if it would still be permeable?
Mr. Frisbee said yes.
Mr. Paschke said that would be addressed through the permit with the watershed district. They
want the overflow spillway taken to the wetland basin to avoid any erosion of the hillside.
Board member Hinzman said the 6 to 8 foot high berm appears to be very tight on the site
plan. He asked what the thoughts were regarding the engineering recommendation for the 6 to
8 foot high berm?
Mr. Paschke said they are working with the Maplewood City Engineer, Michael Thompson,
regarding maximizing the berm where they can. With the addition of planting the trees, the
steeper you get that berm the greater the risk you have of freezing your trees out. They are
doing what they can to make that work.
Board member Hinzman asked if they are cutting the site down much in this location? The
reason he asked is if the site is lower than the berm could be lower.
Mr. Frisbee said they are matching the elevations of Hazelwood Avenue so that blends in.
Hazelwood Avenue is at 919 and slopes down to 918 at the parking lot and back up to 918.75

at the first floor of the building. The northeast corner of the property has a few higher spots for
a higher berm.
Board member Schurke said he agrees with the comments made by Board member Hinzman
that this is a very nicely designed proposal, he was happy to see such quality building
materials being used. He said it appears the floor plan is flipped on the elevations.
Mr. Paschke said the color rendering presented tonight is a project under construction in White
Bear Lake. This plan is a mirror of the project being built in White Bear Lake so it is reversed
on the plan.
Chairperson Olson asked if they had building samples to show the board?
Mr. Frisbee presented samples of some of the materials they would be using on this project
while Mr. Paschke passed a colored board around to each of the board members representing
their Hudson, Wisconsin building.
Board member Schurke asked if the applicant was aware of the energy design assistance
program for Xcel customers in Minnesota which they may qualify for. He said this program
could save your facility a substantial amount of money. The utility rebates are based on the
improvements on the buildings from an energy quality standpoint relative to a cash rebate from
the utility. Perhaps the architect is already aware of this program.
Mr. Frisbee said they have not been a part of that program for this proposal but he would have
to take a closer look at this to see if this would qualify for it.
Board member Schurke said the plans do not call out the R values for the building materials
being used on this project and he asked about each of the R values. He said he noticed they
are using CMU block construction. He asked if they had thought about using insulated
concrete forms. That may be something to look into for the sound continuation potential for that
kind of product he said. Another product that gets sound continuation is instructional insulated
panel systems. Knowing there are sound issues that are being driven for residential issues he
would have concerns about the aesthetics regarding the berm along Highway 36. He would
like to see more of this building from Highway 36 because of the nice design features. He
asked if the owner thought how the building could be converted to another use if there is no
longer a market for this type of use?
Mr. Paschke said the structure would be completely non - combustible construction which is the
most restricted construction available. It is fully sprinklered. This type of facility allows clientele
to age in place and if the care becomes more acute at some point the owner could upgrade
their license and go with more of a skilled nursing facility. As far as changing the building to
another residential occupancy that would be tied to the PUD and that would have to be
reviewed by the city. Structurally it's an 1 -2 construction class. Fire resistant ratings and safety
issues are of the utmost importance in this type of a facility, especially for residents that are
unable to respond to emergency situations on their own.
Mr. Winges said he works with developers who said this building could be converted to office
condominiums. His understanding is that this building is adaptable, it would cost some money
to change things, but it could be done. Mr. Winges said they have never had a problem with
Community Design Review Board 7
Minutes 5 -09 -2006
filling rooms at any of their buildings. Their buildings fill up in a matter of months and they are
very confident with the demand for this type of facility.
Board member Schurke said he applauds the quality standard that they reach for with
Comforts of Home. This stands out above a lot of other types of facilities he has toured. He
said his mother is in this age bracket but she does not require this type of facility yet but this
outranks any other buildings he has seen quality wise.
Mr. Winges thanked him for his comments.
Chairperson Olson agreed with the comments regarding the quality of the design. This building
is going to fill up fast because there is a need for this type of housing. She did not notice a
space dedicated for large muscle activities.
Mr. Winges said there is not a lot of exercise going on because of the type of resident they
care for. They don't have a need for a large exercise area. They do have daily activities which
are held in the common areas.
Chairperson Olson asked if a large part of their clientele use wheelchairs or walkers?
Mr. Winges said there are a fair number that do. The mobility problem is not something you
would find in a typical assisted living home such as Presbyterian Homes, Alterra or Sunrise.
They are taking the elderly residents that those types of facilities won't accept but are not
ready or don't need to move to a nursing home. He would welcome the CDRB to visit their
locations to see what type of residents they care for and what their facilities look like. The
residents do get light exercise.
Chairperson Olson asked if there would be elevators in this facility.
Mr. Winges said yes.
Mr. Frisbee showed a building sample board to the board and said they would use a 40 -year
architectural shingle, a Hardy cement plank siding painted with two colors along with white
trim, reddish toned brick, and arts and crafts style lighting.
Chairperson Olson said Alzheimer patients can be very clever and she asked if they anticipate
residents trying to escape from the building?
Mr. Winges said they have had a lot of experience with residents trying to escape the
buildings. Comforts of Home has gotten pretty good at anticipating people trying to escape and
keeping a close eye on those individuals. They do their best to design the building so that it's
very difficult for the patients to get out. Staff does not have the man power to continually keep
a resident from trying to leave the building. It's stated in the resident's lease that if they
continue to leave the facility they will have to move to more of a lock down facility such as a
nursing home.
Board member Schurke asked if they could review the R values for the building materials they
will be using for this facility.
Community Design Review Board 8
Minutes 5 -09 -2006
Mr. Paschke said the walls would have R -19 walls with 6 -inch steel studs and 6- inches of
batting insulation, 4 -inch veneer occurs at the cultured stone base that comes up 40 inches
and gives a backing to apply the stone veneer, the brick sits on top of that, the roof is R -40, he
wasn't sure of the E -value for the window.
Mr. Frisbee said they would use Eagle windows which are high quality windows. He would
have to check on the E -value of the window. MnDOT would have certain requirements on the
side of the building facing Highway 36.
Board member Schurke asked how the facility would be heated?
Mr. Frisbee said there is a series of forced air units throughout the building, multiple zones,
and a variety of smaller units rather than a larger package unit so they have more control over
the buildings. The main floor has in -floor heat and forced air on the second floor and ventilation
for the first floor.
Board member Shankar asked if they would have one elevator as you would enter the
building?
Mr. Paschke said yes.
Board member Shankar thought an elevator that is 3' X 6' is hardly enough room for a
wheelchair to fit inside.
Mr. Paschke said that is a gurney approved emergency sized elevator cab.
Chairperson Olson asked what the emergency plan was for the residents in the second floor if
there are no egress windows?
Mr. Winges said typically he would have his operations person speak regarding the emergency
plan but she was unable to attend the meeting tonight. The evacuation plan is run through the
state since assisted living facilities are licensed through the State of Minnesota. They also
coordinate things through the Fire Chief for emergencies as well.
Board member Shankar asked if they would consider making the entire front curb handicapped
zero curb rather than just a five foot section being zero curb?
Mr. Frisbee said they could look at that with their civil engineer but when they get to a zero
curb if the drainage for that area is not set correctly there can be ponding and icing but they
could look into that. With a smaller curb cut they can control water and where it is directed a lot
better.
Board member Shankar said he brings the issue up because he is concerned about the
resident's safety having a curb to step up or down from. He said it is safer to have a flat
surface for them to walk up and off of.
Mr. Frisbee said their Hudson, Wisconsin facility has four steps to enter the building so when
there are deliveries at that location the people have to go up four steps to enter the building. At
this facility he imagines delivery trucks would pull right up to the curb, take out their two
Community Design Review Board 9
Minutes 5 -09 -2006
wheeler and make the delivery. The curb actually protects the building from vehicles that would
get too close to the building itself with zero curb.
Board member Schurke said he didn't notice this before but the trash enclosure doorway faces
the line of traffic. He asked if they could rotate it to the north and west and have it open to the
south and east. This could also help save an additional parking space.
Board member Paschke said perhaps the city would accept that in lieu of having the berm?
Board member Schurke said he would prefer not to see a continuous line of trees on the berm
along Highway 36. The lesson he learned from a landscape architect was to plant things in an
odd number and you never plant things in a straight line. Personally he thinks the Comforts of
Home building is such a nice building design with quality building materials that it should be
visible from Highway 36 and the landscaping berm should not be the detraction. He would
prefer to have the building owner spend the money on building materials such as higher quality
triple pane windows, wall systems and insulation to mitigate sound and give a better energy
benefit rather than planting landscaping to use as a berm and help with freeway sound. This
would also help reduce the energy cost as well. Basically if the recommendation for the berm
is being driven for sound mitigation he would prefer building materials be used instead of
requiring the berm. If the berm is being driven for another reason he would prefer to see the
building from Highway 36 and others should be able to visually enjoy the building features. His
landscape architect told him 75 feet of vegetation depth is needed to see a measurable drop in
decibel level to make a difference. He lives close to the freeway and MnDOT recently put up
the concrete barriers for safety. However, the freeway noise bounces off of the barriers and out
to the neighboring homes making it louder than usual. He uses this as an example that certain
things do not help with sound mitigation.
Mr. Frisbee said on the north side of the building, directly off of Highway 36 there are no
resident rooms that will open to that area so they are not going to be affected by the noise
level.
Board member Shankar said the finished floor elevation is 918 feet and Highway 36 is 928 feet
so even if there is a 6 to 8 foot high berm you would still be 10 feet above it and see the grade
along the building and see most of the building anyways.
Mr. Winges said they have resident rooms along Highway 65 at their Blain location and they
haven't had a complaint about the noise. His experience has been people enjoy living close to
the freeway and looking out at the traffic. This building would be set back 140 feet from the
property line too.
Chairperson Olson said she feels this building has been very well thought out and designed
and will be an asset to the community. She really likes the fact that this is a non - combustible
building and she is impressed with the proposal.
Board member Schurke said he isn't against the berm, he would just like to know that the berm
is providing the qualities that the city is expecting of the berm from a sound buffering
standpoint. If it is being required for sound reasons he would like the city to have proof that the
berm is going to do what they would like the berm to do before the owner invests that kind of
Community Design Review Board 10
Minutes 5 -09 -2006
money in planting the 6 to 8 foot high berm. If the berm is for aesthetics he would prefer to see
the building from Highway 36 rather than looking at the trees.
Chairperson Olson said she doesn't think the berm is going to help mitigate sound.
Board member Shankar said the building is handsome and he thinks the berm will help with
some of the sound, he is not sure how much of the sound though. The berm adds an aesthetic
value to the property so he views the berm as a positive thing for both sound and aesthetic
value to the property.
Ms. Finwall said staff received the revised grading plan on Monday, May 8, 2006, and staff
hopes the revised plans are okay with the engineering staff. Since the noise complaint at the
St. Paul Pioneer Press facility located across Highway 36, staff has become more educated on
noise mitigation. The PVC fence was installed to help with the noise at that location and the
neighbors state the noise is worse. A berm or landscaping is a much better noise buffer
compared to any type of fence. A wood fence is a better noise buffer compared to a PVC
fence. Staff feels the berm and landscaping will have some effect, staff is just not sure how
much of an effect it will have, but aesthetically and for noise mitigation it's a good design
feature.
Board member Schurke said given the community concerns he would recommend that the
owner hold an open house as soon as possible to invite the neighborhood into the facility when
it is complete and have staff available to answer questions relating to how you operate the
facility.
Mr. Winges said the construction workers on site have pamphlets to hand out to people if
requested and the workers can walk curious visitors around the site.
Board member Shankar moved to approve the plans date stamped March 27, 2006, for the 42-
unit, two - story, assisted living facility (Comforts of Home) to be located at the southeast corner
of Highway 36 and Hazelwood Street (currently 230012310 Hazelwood Street). Approval is
subject to the applicant doing the following:
a. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this
project.

SUBJECT: Trunk Highway 36 Improvements (White Bear to Century), City Project 05 -03 —
Receive Environmental Assessment Document from MnDOT and Provide
Comments on Project Impacts
DATE: May 16, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is proposing the reconstruction of TH 36 between
White Bear Avenue in Maplewood to TH 120 (Century Avenue) in Oakdale, through the City of North St.
Paul. The Environmental Assessment document has been submitted to the City for comments. Review of
that document and submittal of comments is recommended.
DISCUSSION
The proposed reconstruction of TH 36 from White Bear Avenue to Century Avenue is being proposed to
begin in 2007. Attached is the proposed Environmental Assessment of the project impacts. The document
does not identify major issues within Maplewood with one exception. On page 35 there is a discussion on
the noise impact of the roadway to adjacent Maplewood residents. The document identifies that additional
discussions with Maplewood are required on this issue. It is suggested that the Council direct the City
Engineer to prepare a letter to MnDOT requesting a process be established to resolve this issue.
An informational meeting was held by MnDOT and Maplewood staff on May 2nd at the Maplewood Council
Chambers. Approximately 25 residents of Maplewood attended the informational meeting. A majority of
the comments were from residents looking for information on the impacts to Castle Avenue. MnDOT and
Maplewood staff are working on a resolution of the construction details related to the project and possibility
that MnDOT will provide Maplewood with funds for a future reconstruction. Details of that agreement will
be presented to the Council later in 2006. Other concerns were expressed from residents about the
possible closure of TH 36 during the summer months of 2007 and the impacts of the detour routes.
MnDOT and Maplewood staff indicated that monitoring of the alternate routes with appropriate action plans
at the time of the closure will be needed as the actual volume of the alternate routes is not easily estimated
or predicted.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review the attached Environmental Assessment document from
MnDOT for the TH 36 (White Bear to Century) Improvement Project and direct the City Engineer to prepare
and send a letter to MnDOT noting the City's concerns regarding the project.

Agenda Item L2
In May 2000. the DNR performed a Gateway Trail realignment study to explore
opportunities to improve trail safety and coexist with street and highway needs in an
urban environment,
Seven primary areas of concern have been identified through the planning efforts
described in the previous section. Briefly stated, they include the following'.
Corridor Capacity — Capacity constraints on TH 35 within the City of North St, Paul
contribute to traffic congestion especially during a,m, and p,m, peak hours. Traffic flow
on the proposed project segment is significantly more congested than adjacent
segments of TH 36 in the Cities of Maplewood and Oakdale, Congestion in North St.
Paul is predominantly caused by a series of closely spaced signalized and unsignalized
intersections,
TH 36 Intersection Collisions -- The majority of crashes that occurred during a recent
five-year history (January 1, 1997 to December 31, 2001) were rear-end, followed by
right angle collisions. The highest frequency of crashes occurred at TH 36 intersections
with TH 120, McKnight Road and Margaret Street.
Pedestrian Safety — There is a general desire to improve pedestrian facilities within the
project area. North High School, McKnight Field, Silver Lake Park, and the Gateway
State Trail are major pedestrian traffic generators that require non-motorized travel
movements near TH 36.
Gateway State Trail — The Gateway State Trail parallels TH 36 from Margaret Street to
Century Avenue, The trail utilizes at-grade crosswalks at V Street, 2"" Street, 1" Street,
and Margaret Street, as well as TH 120, Eastbound to southbound right turning vehicles
frequently experience conflicts with trail users at Margaret Street and Charles Street and
at Century Avenue, Trail user and driver behavior contributes to operational problems.

Opportunity for large horizontal alignment or location shifts for TH 36 are not feasible
due to developed areas north and south of the existing highway corridor. Vertical
alignment alternatives considered include TH 36 over McKnight Road and TH 36
under McKnight Road.
Vertical alignment constraints include an existing low point on McKnight Road a few
hundred feet north of TH 36, This low point experiences occasional flooding during
extended periods of intense rainfall.
Intersection or interchange types considered during concept development included
0 At grade intersection. At grade intersection concepts evaluated failed to serve
forecast traffic volumes at acceptable levels of service,
Single Point Diamond Interchange. Interchange concept was considered but
not selected due to high cost without improved effectiveness for serving traffic
demands compared to the proposed tight diamond interchange.

The inability to provide major capacity improvements at the TH 36 intersection with
TH 120 has promoted the City of North St, Paul to explore alternatives that would
provide relief to congestion problems at TH 120 which limits access between North
St. Paul and TH 36

TH 36 and westbound TH 36 to 12�' Avenue,!Margaret Street providing a connection
to North High School and to the downtown area via Margaret Street,
An alternative that relieves capacity issues at the TH 36 / TH 120 intersection,
without adding to congestion at TH120 and 17' requires that a westbound
connection from TH 36 to 12 ` Avenue/Margaret Street be provided. This connection
from TH 36 would be removed when an interchange at TH 120 is constructed with a
frontage road on the north side of TH 36.
Build Alternative - McKnight Road Interchange over TH 36, Pedestrian Bridge,
and Margaret Street Crossing
This build alternative includes the development of a McKnight Road Interchange over
TH 36, pedestrian bridge, Margaret Street crossing, and associated access ramp
and frontage road connections between these intersections.
The major components of Alternative 1 are identifed as follows
® New bridge crossing of McKnight Road over TH 36, including ramp terminals
New pedestrian bridge crossing utilizing the 2 Street North general
alignment, with touchdown connections to the Gateway State Trail and the

Benefit Cost Analysis Conclusion
The results from the benefit-cost analysis provide agencies with an estimate of
the relative benefit of the build to the no build alternative. In this analysis, if the
quantified benefits are greater than or equal to the quantified costs (benefit-cost
ratio greater than one), the alternative represents an economically valuable
option,
A relative comparison was made in this analysis between preferred build

Agenda Item L2
Wetland Deacriotion and Junsdiction
The build alternative will result in a wetland impact to a Type 1, 2. and 3 seasonally flooded
shallow marsh (PEMC) wetland basin located within the North St, Paul Urban Ecology
Center, Estimated project wetland impacts to this basin are 0,34 acres (14,810 square feet).
The wetland basin and impact is located in the southwest quadrant of the existing TH
361McKnight Road intersection and is adjacent to the TH 36 right-of-way edge, specifically it
is adjacent to the existing frontage road, This wetland is under the jurisdiction of the WCA
and the U,S_ Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The
wetland impact is within MmDOT right-of-way, and therefore. Mn/DOT is the designated
Government Unit (LGU) 'or the project area, A WCA approval and Section 404 permit will be
obtained from these sources prior to construction.
Wetland Seguencing
Avoidance The build alternative requires the need for a frontage road extension that
complies with MmDOT design and safety standards In addition, the frontage road must avoid
and minimize to the greatest extent effects on the Ecology Center, a potential Section 4(f)
impact. Due to the right-of-way and alignment constraints created by utilization of the existing
TH 36 corridor, complete avoidance of this wetland is not possible,
Minimization: Through preliminary and ultimately final design applications, wetland impact
minimization has been achieved, Preliminary design methods include shifting the proposed
frontage road alignment to and beyond the wetland edge. The proposed frontage road re-
alignment skirts and affects the wetland edge of this basin and does not sever or transact
through the basin, Final design minimization methods will be considered and implemented
during the final design phase and could include methods such as side slope reduction, road
profile reduction, guard rails, and other design methods that reduce the impact footprint within
the wetland.

approved location for treatment prior to discharge to the receiving water, No permanent
impacts are expected,
The reconstruction of TH 36 includes lowering the grade of TH 36 under Margaret Street, As
a result of this lowering. approximately 1.900 feet or new grade will be below the existing
water table. Therefore, a 12-inch thick aggregate passive gravity drainage blanket system
will extend under TH 36 from approximately 1,200 feet west to 1,100 feet east of Margaret
Street, A MnDNR water appropriation permit is rewired for the construction of the drainage
blanket.
The project does not require any creation, connection, or change to public water supply
therefore, no wells in or near the project area will be used as water sources. If any unused or
unsealed wells are discovered in the project area during construction, they will be addressed
in accordance with Minnesota Rules, Chapter 4725 or through obtaining an annual
maintenance permit,

City of North St, Paul
Prior to the completion of its updated Comprehensive Plan 1999). the City of North St- Paul
embarked on a strategic planning process and developed a series of goals for its future,
Several of these goals were directly correlated with improvements in the TH 36 corridor. They
are stated as follows.
Goal 1. Image - Travel on TH 36 through North St, Paul is interrupted by a series of
traffic signals. Traffic delays and congestion experienced by the public tend to build a
negative perception of the community, Adjacent land uses along the corridor are usually
unappealing. Reconstruction of TH 36 in combination with associated development
redevelopment opportunities on the adjacent underutilized,
Goal 2. Economics - Land uses adjacent to TH 36 will be served by new roadway and
frontage roads. Tax base improvements will be realized. Highest and best use of
properties can be achieved.
Goal I Transportation - TH 36 and frontage road improvements will provide a functional,
balanced system of pedestrian ways, trails, collectors. arterials, and transit systems,
TH 36 Grade Separations of McKnight Road and Margaret Street - Environmental Assessment Page 30
North St, Paul. Minnesota
Agenda Item L2
Goa! 4. TH 36 Corridor - This project represents the first stage of implementation of the
City's goal for TH 36 as a party depressed urban freeway with interchanges and access
links to serve the community,
Goal 5: Downtown - Margaret Street is a critical link to the City's downtown area. The
proposed bridge over TH 36 provides a community connection that is vital to the success
of the downtown businesses. Frontage road connections to TH 36 via McKnight Road
and Century Avenue are also critical to economic vitality of the downtown.
Goal 6 Parks and Open Spaces and Trails - The Gateway State Trail is a key
component in the City's recreational system. Proposed improvements in tie TH 36
corridor will enhance the safety and quality for users of the Gateway State Trail and local
park system-
Region Metropolitan Council
The proposed project is also consistent with each of the major policies set forth in the
Regional Blueprint, The project is consistent with each major policy as follows.
Policy 5 - Ensure that regional services and facilities under (Metropolitan Council)
jurisdiction are provided cost-effectively to support development and revitalization in the
region-
In addition to providing support for reinvestment in the fully developed ring of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area. the proposed project will contribute to = economic growth by improving
access to existing commercial areas and by helping reestablish the viability of redeveloping
business areas. This includes businesses located along McKnight Road and f� Avenue East
(downtown North St. Paul),

Foln"DOT's Transportation System Plan (TSB'). updated in 2005. identifies the proposed
project area as being in the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) for 2006. Although this
segment of TIC 36 was not included in the Interregional Corridor (IRC) program, design and
performance standards for maintaining a 55 mph trip for the duration of the corridor are
consistent with the IRC guidelines, Its connection to the designated Medium Priority TH 36
IRC corridor to the east of the project area in Washington County is a benefit to that corridor.
Access management improvements proposed for the project are also consistent with the IRC
performance and capacity preservation goals. A systematic approach was used to protect
and enhance the safety and mobility of the existing roadway. Resulting actions are consistent
with the recommendations of the TAI 36 Access Management Plan prepared by Mm'DOT in
the mid-1990s,

Noise from traffic on TH' 36 causes noise levels above the Minnesota State standards at
residential locations adjacent to the corridor. Post-development noise levels will be higher
due to increased traffic volumes and travel speeds.
This analysis demonstrates that noise wails meet the Mn/D0T reasonable cost requirements

MENEWEMANAM
This section summarizes the potential traffic-generated noise impacts of the No-
Build and Build Alternatives for year 2025 conditions.
Measurement of Noise Impacts
Minnesota Rules Chapter 7030 provides the Minnesota standards for noise.
These standards describe the limiting levels of sound established on the basis of
present knowledge for the preservation of health and welfare, These standards
are designed to be consistent with sleep, speech, annoyance, and hearing
conservation requirements for receivers within areas grouped according to land
use activities, The Minnesota standards can be summarized as follows:
7 AM to 10 PM
10:00 PM to 7 AM
NA _1 "Residential" 65
60
55 50
NA -2 "Commercial" 70
65
70 65
NA C-3 "Industrial" 80
75
80 75
The descriptor Lin means the sound level that is exceeded for 10 percent of the
time for a one-hour period. L;, means the sound level that is exceeded 50
percent of the time for a one-hour period, Sound levels are expressed in dBA. A
dBA is a unit of sound level expressed in decibels and weighted for the purpose
of determining the human response to sound.
Federal noise abatement criteria have also been established for five land use
categories. Federal criteria do not differentiate daytime and nighttime noise
levels. The federal criteria are shown in Table 5, Locations where noise levels
TH 36 Grade Separations of McKnight Road and Margaret Street — Environmental Assessment Page 39

are "approaching" (defined as being within 1 decibel of the criterion threshold,
e,g. 69 dBA in a residential area) or exceeding the criterion level must be
evaluated for noise abatement reasonableness.
MIMI=
* Applies to interior noise levels. All other land uses are exterior levels.
In addition to the identified noise criteria, the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) also defines a noise impact as a "substantial increase" in the future
noise levels over the existing noise levels, The Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MmDOT) considers an increase of 5 d or greater to be a
substantial noise level increase,

SUBJECT: Eldridge Avenue, Street and Utility Improvements for the Eldridge Fields
Development, City Project 06 -04 -- Accept Petition Requesting Public
Improvement and Resolution Ordering Preparation of Feasibility Study
DATE: May 11, 2006
INTRODUCTION /SUMMARY
Keith Franks of Franks Construction Inc. is proposing to develop a 1.4 acre site into five single- family lots.
The lots will be accessed by a new cul -de -sac road to be constructed in the existing Eldridge Avenue right -
of -way, to the west of Prosperity Avenue. The developer is proposing Eldridge Avenue to be a public street
with public utilities. The developer has petitioned the city to prepare the engineering plans for Eldridge
Avenue in the Eldridge Fields Development. All of the improvements costs shall be assessed to the
benefiting properties. The city council shall consider accepting the petition requesting public improvement
and ordering the preparation of the feasibility study.
Background
The Eldridge Fields Development is located just west of Prosperity Avenue, south of County Road B. This
area has an ongoing drainage problem that can be corrected during the development process. The
developer will be working closely with the city to develop a storm water management system that will
benefit the environment by improving the quality of water, while minimizing the current drainage problem.
The implementation of large rainwater gardens and infiltration ponds will allow runoff to infiltrate into the
ground instead of flowing offsite through a storm sewer system.
It is proposed that the street and utilities be public infrastructure. They are to be constructed as part of a
public improvement project. The Maplewood Engineering Department will prepare the detailed plans and
specifications for the street and utilities.
Budget
A not -to- exceed project budget of $4,000 would be established for the project development and preliminary
engineering required to complete the feasibility study. The funds for 100% cost of the feasiblility budget
have been posted by the developer. Only the unexpended portion of the feasibility budget is refundable to
the developer if the project does not proceed as the developer assumes the risks of the project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the city council approve the attached resolution ordering the preparation of the
feasibility study for the Eldridge Avenue, Street and Utility Improvements for the Eldridge Fields
Development, Project 06 -04.

Improvement and Resolution Ordering Preparation of Feasibility Study
DATE: May 15, 2006
INTRODUCTION /SUMMARY
Lauren & Company is proposing to develop the property at 2666 Highwood Ave East with fifteen single -
family dwellings on a private drive with a cul -de -sac. The south half of the property is proposed as a
conservation easement. The developer has petitioned the city to prepare the feasibility study for utility
improvements that would service Cottagewood Subdivision and adjacent properties. All of the
improvement costs will be assessed to the benefiting properties. The city council shall consider accepting
the petition requesting public improvement and ordering the preparation of the feasibility study.
Background
The proposed Cottagewood Subdivision Development is located at 2666 Highwood Ave East as shown in
the attached site map. The developer is proposing that public sanitary sewer be extended west along
Highwood Ave E. from Century Ave S. to the location of the proposed development. Also, water main is
proposed to be extended east to the development along Highwood Ave E. from a stub near New Century
Blvd.
It is proposed that the proposed utilities along Highwood Ave E. be public infrastructure. They are to be
constructed as part of a public improvement project due the benefit received by adjacent properties. The
Maplewood Engineering Department will work in conjunction with the developer's engineer on the detailed
plans and specifications for the utilities.
Budget
A not -to- exceed project budget of $4,000 would be established for the project development and preliminary
engineering required to complete the feasibility study. The funds for 100% of the feasibility budget have

SUBJECT: Gervais Avenue Street Improvements & Maplewood Imports Traffic
Improvements, City Project 05 -17
Resolution Accepting Report and Calling for Public Hearing
DATE: May 12, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The feasibility study for the Gervais Avenue Street Improvements and Maplewood Imports Traffic
Improvements is complete and is attached. The study includes information on the proposed improvements,
proposed financing and probable assessments.
The city council will consider accepting the feasibility study and ordering a public hearing.
Background
The proposed project area is illustrated on the attached project location map.
Street improvement for Gervais Avenue between Cypress Street and Maplewood Drive was listed on the
city's capital improvements project plan for construction in 2006. It is proposed that the entire street be
reconstructed with curb and gutter and that the necessary drainage and utility improvements be made. The
residents and businesses along Gervais Avenue were individually contacted and informed about the City's
proposed street reconstruction.
Traffic improvements for Maplewood Imports have been added to the scope of the project and are
proposed to be constructed in conjunction with the Gervais Avenue Improvements. Approval of the
Maplewood Imports development was conditional on the developer agreeing to pay for traffic
improvements deemed necessary to mitigate for the increase in traffic caused by the development. The
city's consultant, SEH, has recommended several improvements at the intersection of Connor Avenue and
Highway 61 along with the English Street intersection at Highway 36.
The total project budget as reported in the feasibility study is $748,930. The project budget detailed in the
city's Capital Improvement Plan is $550,000. The difference in costs is due to the traffic improvements
included which totals $284,583. The costs of traffic improvements are to be assessed to the developer.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the city council approve the attached resolution accepting the report and calling for
a public hearing for 7:00 p.m., Monday, June 12, 2006, for the Gervais Avenue & Maplewood Imports
Improvement project.

PROJECT 05 -17
GERMS AVENUE BETWEEN CYPRESS AVENUE AND MAPLEWOOD DRIVE, T.H. 61 &
CONNER AVENUE, AND T.H. 36 & ENGLISH STREET
INTRODUCTION
The vicinity map is shown on Exhibit 1, and Exhibit 2 shows the proposed locations for
improvements.
The section of Gervais Avenue, as defined in this study, is comprised of unplatted
parcels with the exception of two parcels. The two parcels were platted under W.H.
Howard's Garden Lots (Parcel ID 092922130008, 2411 Maplewood Drive N; and
092922130012 (0 Gervais Avenue).
Several commercial properties are located on the south side of Gervais Avenue which
include Hermanson Dental, Ethan Allen, Baskets by Design, and Thomas Tool &
Supply. There are two residential properties to the north (one being utilized as
commercial) along with two vacant commercial properties. Three of the commercial
buildings encroach upon the 30' minimum setback from ROW.
Gervais Avenue was constructed in 1964, with sewer main and water main constructed
in 1968 and 1973, respectively. The street was never properly designed or constructed
and is in very poor condition in need of significant improvements.
The feasibility report for this project was ordered at the June 13 2005 city council
meeting. Letters were sent out to affected residents in July of 2005 concerning the
Gervais Avenue improvements. A formal meeting has not been held; rather residents
and commercial properties owners along Gervais were individually contacted by phone.
As part of this feasibility, traffic improvements are proposed at both T.H.61 & Conner
Avenue and T.H. 36 & English Street intersections. The city's engineering consultant,
SEH, has reviewed the traffic impacts caused by the development of Maplewood
Imports (see Exhibit 2) on the east side of Maplewood Drive to the nearby streets.
Several improvements are recommended to mitigate the increase in traffic caused by
the development.. The conditions of approval for the site require the developer to
contribute their fair share of the costs for the traffic improvements as detailed in the city
council meeting minutes for January 1 0 th 2005.
STREET
General
The existing street along Gervais Avenue presents an ongoing maintenance problem
for the City of Maplewood Maintenance Department. Of the three infrastructure
elements the City maintains (sanitary sewer, storm sewer and streets), the bulk of the
maintenance activities consist of patching the roadway and filling potholes.
Gervais Avenue serves both commercial and residential properties. Garbage trucks,
school buses, and large commercial trucks utilizing the loading docks are generally the
heaviest vehicles that use the streets.
Existing Street Condition
GERVAIS AVENUE
Presently, the condition of Gervais Avenue is very poor with potholes and patches very
apparent on the street. Inadequate crown allows water to pond and traverse the street
section, further deteriorating the roadway. The freeze and thaw cycles that happen
every spring, combined with old age and poor design are all responsible for the
declining roadway condition. Please refer to Exhibit 3 photographs showing existing
roadway conditions.
The average existing street width is 32'.
To determine the existing pavement thickness and subgrade soil type, three to four soil
borings will be performed this summer. The results of the soil borings will be used to
determine the street section design.
Gervais Avenue has deteriorated past the point where reactionary maintenance is no
longer effective. Crack sealing, seal coating and overlaying are no longer cost effective
solutions to maintain this stretch of street. It is recommended that Gervais Avenue be
completely reconstructed.
Existing Traffic Conditions
T.H. 61 & Conner Avenue
Conner Avenue at T.H. 61 is a main access to and from Maplewood Imports. Currently
there is no acceleration lane for traffic turning right onto northbound T.H. 61 from
Conner Avenue. An increase in traffic from Maplewood Imports will cause traffic to
backup on Connor Street with out the addition of an acceleration lane. Also, the traffic
islands on the east and west side of T.H. 61 on Conner are not clearly delineated and
allow for illegal turn movements onto T.H. 61
2
T.H. 36 & English Street
The signalized intersection at English Street and T.H. 36 is another main access to and
from Maplewood Imports. The turning lanes on English Street, north of T.H. 36 are
inadequate. Additional turn lanes are needed to compensate for additional traffic. The
left turn lanes at English Street onto east and westbound T.H. 36 are offset which
impedes site distance. Improvements to the left turn lanes are needed as well.
PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS
Street Design
Gervais Avenue will be reclaimed where pavement thickness and subgrade soils are
adequate for this process. Reclaiming the streets is a material recycling process where
the existing pavement surface, aggregate base and sandy subgrade soils are
pulverized and mixed to form a new aggregate base material. This new homogeneous
material is salvaged and reused. This process, where applicable, reflects a financial
savings to the project since less material must be hauled from and to the site.
The proposed street design will utilize a B618 barrier curb and gutter on the street
currently without curb. Exhibit 4 shows the proposed street section. This type of curb
will be used throughout the project in conjunction with conventional storm sewer.
Concrete curb will provide delineation between the street and the boulevard. There are
a number of long -term advantages to constructing concrete curb and gutter. The
roadway edges are strengthened and reinforced by the concrete curb. Horizontal
alignment and vertical elevations for the street are fixed during paving. Future
pavement management operations are simplified, less expensive and less disruptive by
having a concrete curb constructed with this project.
Proposed street width will match the average existing street width of 32 feet.
Storm Water Management
There is some existing storm sewer on Gervais Avenue, but it is not adequate. Exhibit 5
shows the location of the existing and proposed storm sewer. There are a number of
issues with the existing system:
• There is a lack of storm water facilities on the most of the street - As part of
the proposed storm sewer improvement; additional storm sewer would be
constructed to direct runoff to the 24" storm sewer pipe located in Maplewood
Drive. The westerly portion would be routed to the existing 18" storm sewer pipe
located in Gervais Avenue that extends southerly. The Gervais feasibility cost
estimate includes addressing a drainage issue at the intersection of Conner
Avenue & Duluth Street where runoff is ponding in the street.
9
• There is a lack of storm water quality treatment- Runoff from Gervais Avenue
currently does not received treatment. A proposed pond adjacent to Maplewood
Drive would remedy the situation, as both the existing 18" and 24" storm sewer
pipes carrying drainage from Gervais Avenue and Maplewood Drive outlet into
the proposed pond location. The pond would also treat storm water runoff from
upstream of the Gervais Avenue connection.
• Private Drainage Issues- According to as built plans there is surface drainage
entering the sanitary sewer via a trench drain located at 1065 Viking Drive E. At
the same address there is an existing catch basin at the base of a loading dock
and information on where this drains to or connects is unknown. A similar
situation exists at 1081 Hwy 36 E with a storm sewer catch basin located in a
loading dock along Gervais Avenue. The existing 18" storm sewer pipe located
in Gervais Ave and extending south is lower than the private catch basins which
would allow connection options. These private utility lines should be televised to
verify routing and terminate any illegal connections to the sanitary sewer.
Watermain
At this time Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) has not identified the need
for watermain replacements along Gervais Avenue. But, as a matter of maintenance,
SPRWS would propose to replace any substandard hydrants, valves, services, etc.,
where necessary. This work would be done by the water utility personnel prior to the
street construction, and at no cost to the city. Maplewood will only be responsible for
water system expenses that are directly the result of the street construction.
Sanitary Sewer
No major improvements are proposed for the existing sanitary sewer system along
Gervais Avenue. However, city sewer maintenance records have been reviewed and
various spot repairs of the sewer system have been identified for improvements.
During the design phase questionnaires will be sent out to residents to determine if
there are any potential sanitary sewer main and service problems within the right -of-
way and under the proposed street. Any damaged sanitary sewer main and services
under the roadway will be repaired prior to the street reconstruction. This work would
be performed as part of the overall project with repairs being paid by the sewer utility
fund.
Maplewood Imports Traffic
T.H. 61 & Conner Avenue
The recommendation by S.E.H. is to provide an auxiliary lane to allow Conner Avenue
traffic to accelerate and merge into the northbound T.H. 61 traffic while maintaining the
right turn lane capability for traffic turning right onto County Road C off of northbound
T.H. 61 (Exhibit 6). Also, the islands on both the east and west side of T.H. 61 would
be reconfigured to better physically control the 3/ access of this intersection. The
4
islands would better prevent traffic from deviating from the intended movements of the
intersection.
T.H. 36 & English Street
From the traffic study conducted by S.E.H. it is proposed that English Street, north of
T.H. 36 be widened to allow for dedicated southbound left, through, and right turn
lanes. Also a raised median would separate north and southbound traffic at the
intersection (Exhibit 7). This proposed change will better align the English Street left
turn lanes for better sight distance.
MISCELLANEOUS PRIVATE UTILITIES
Staff recently sent out a letters to contact all private utility companies regarding this
project. Coordination with utility company designers will reduce potential conflicts with
the proposed street design.
EROSION CONTROL
Erosion and sediment control methods will be implemented throughout the project. Silt
fence, bale checks, and other erosion protection methods will be utilized where direct
runoff might occur. Inlet protection will be used to protect both the existing and new
catch basins during construction. Street sweeping will occur, as needed, on all paved
street surfaces throughout the project, including intersecting streets. Watering of
exposed soils and aggregate material would be done as a dust - control measure.
TRAFFIC CONTROL
The proposed area Gervais Avenue street reconstruction only affects local traffic.
However, there will be minor inconveniences and disruptions to local businesses and
residents. Several businesses accept shipments at loading docks directly off Gervais
Avenue, but there is additional access to these properties off of Maplewood Drive.
Staff and the contractor will work with the businesses to keep disruptions to a minimum.
Emergency access for vehicles will be available 24 -hours a day throughout the project.
During short periods of time, however, some segments of the project may not be
passable while certain work is being executed. In these instances, access would be
available from another direction. Streets would always be reopened at the end of the
day. An alternate route for the fire trucks will be determined for short periods of time
when access may be blocked due to construction.
Residents with concrete curb work, or concrete driveway apron replacements, will not
5
be able to use their driveways during the week the concrete is curing. During that time,
Maplewood police will be notified of the arrangement in order to add patrols while
residents are required to park on the streets.
The traffic control for the Maplewood Imports improvements will be in conjunction with
Mn/DOT which will require an extensive traffic control plan in accordance with Mn/DOT
standards.
PROJECT COST
The estimated project cost is outlined below.
Estimated Project Costs:
The estimated costs for the proposed project are outlined below. The estimated costs
include contingencies and overhead, which include engineering, administrative, legal,
and fiscal expenses. Exhibits 8, 9, and 10 provide a more detailed construction and
project cost estimate.
Estimated Project Cost Summary
Gervais Avenue
Street Improvements: $321,103.00 (43 %)
Drainage Improvements: $111,670.00 (15 %)
Sanitary Sewer Improvements $31,574.00 (4 %)
Maplewood Imports
Traffic Improvement (Maplewood Imports): $284,583.00 (38 %)
Total estimate project costs: $748,930.00 (100 %)
COST RECOVERY
Based on the City of Maplewood's Pavement Management Policy, a portion of the
project cost is assessed on an equal "unit" basis. The "unit" would be based on an
average residential lot, as has been used in the past. There are 9 assessable parcels
within the project area. Exhibit 11 details the preliminary assessment roll. Exhibits 12
and 13 show the properties proposed to be assessed for street and storm sewer
improvements respectively. The properties not being assessed for storm sewer reflects
the fact that they were previously assessed under the Maplewood Drive /Keller Parkway
improvements.
The city's 1999 pavement management policy identifies certain improvement options
with established assessment rates for each of those options. The 2006 assessment
6
rates were approved by the city council in 2005. Therefore, the following 2006
assessment rates would apply.
• $4,510 /unit for street reconstruction with curbing.
• $90.20 /Ft for street reconstruction on multi - family or commercial properties.
• $750 /unit for drainage improvements.
• $15.00/Ft for drainage improvements to multi- family or commercial properties.
• $1,360 /unit for new water service installations.
• $2,060 /unit for new sewer service installations.
