Rei ecte d City Manager Dae Director of Community Development PUD Revision White Bear Avenue and County Road C Smith Investment Properties Harmony School Site Redevelopment January 2, 1986 SUMMARY F- Request Revision of the conditional use permit for the Harmon School site PUD UD to permit 23 fewer open parking spaces than already approved by the .city. ( r% mm o r% 4- c-- The developers would have to move fourteen arkin spaces to the green P g p g area in the southeast corner of the site to accommodate the 26 es ara g g required by the city. This green space was negotiated with the residents in the original PUD, with only eight parkin g spaces aces for the 64 - unit apartment building. No additional parking was to be allowed unless a problem developed in the future. The 14 spaces in the green area and the nine spaces on County Roa C .are unnecessary and undesirable for senior use. The median percentage of parking spaces to number of units in suburban cities was 47% in 1979, (See enclosed survey on page 14.) The Harmony School project, as recommended by staff , _ would have 56 spaces for 52 units or a 108% ratio -- considerably more than e avera . A 1985 city survey of local projects confirms Y Y three p sects further confirms this finding: Project # of Un i # of Parking Spaces # of Spaces Used o Concordia Arms 124 100 50 81 Archer Heights 69 42 (21 originally) 30 61 .Franklyn Park 117 54 44 46 The manager at Concordia Arms stated that 25 spaces are needed for visitors. The manager at Archer Heights stated that. 15 spaces are needed for visitors. The fourteen spaces on the open space and the nine spaces on County Road C are over. 240 feet from the entrance, which is a long walk for seniors. Seniors using the fourteen spaces would have to P crass the main drive, making this a hazardous location. The nine spaces on County Road C are only five feet from the lot 1 ine . The design review board normally requires fifteen feet . These spaces should be omitted and reserved for future parking if needed or the whole parkin lot should be moved ten feet north,, g Recommendation Adoption of the resolution on page 15 amending the conditional use permit for the Harmony School site planned unit development, to snake p , the following changes (additions underlined and deletions crossed out) Variance 1-- "allow X9- parking spaces for the 52 -unit seniors' residence #, rather than the 104 required by code." Condition 6: "the Q,i.t nine parking spaces " l ocated J_ %A r-e west of the easterly drive shall be ee deleted." Condition 9: "adherence to the site plan 1: 43 Qg=I:Q]QOr IQ date stamped December 17, 1985, except as required in these conditions, unless a change is approved by the community desi g n board. � The following three findings are added to those reviousl ma p y de. 70 The number of spaces proposed still exceed the typical number of spaces per unit needed for a senior's residence. 80* The 14 spaces proposed in the given area are not desirable. for senior parking, because of the distance to the entrance (255 feet ) and the hazard of crossing the main driveway, 9 The nine spaces on County Road C are within the fifteen-foot setback normally required by the city. ( Refer to the resolution for a complete set of conditions a f indings. ) p and 2 2. The requirement to provide enclosed arkin spaces was waived, P g P ved . Approval was subject to conditions including the following: "If the city council determines in the future that there is inadequate park.ing, an additional row of parking may be required b council along g the south edge of the parking lot. In order to assure that adequate. funds are available for expanding the parking lot, a cash deposit or letter. of credit shall be submitted to the director of community development, The amount shall be determined by the city engineer's estimated construction cost of the parkin g expansion." ansion." P If there is adequate parking demonstrated one ear after occupancy, Y P Y• the cash deposit or letter of credit shall be returned to the applicant. The building shall be moved ten feet to the south to allow space for future parking. Approval was granted on the basis of findings that included: l . The HUD representative for this project has stated that garages or increased floor areas cannot be included in ro'ect financing, P J ing. 20 The enclosed survey by Weber Investment Corporation shows that at the proposed number of parking spaces are more than provided in other elderly projects in the Metropolitan area. 3. The city ordinances have not considered the unique nature of parking and floor area requirements for elderly housing . 4- 11 -83: Council conditionally approved two arkin variances as art P g p of a PUD for. the Hazel Ridge seniors residence ( 2696 Hazelwood Avenue) : 10 Code required 150 parking spaces - -75 were P ermitted, 20 Code required 75 enclosed parkin spaces--55 were ermit g P p ted . Approval was subject to conditions that included: "if council determines there is inadequate on -site parking for the residence within one year of 95 0 occupancy, additional ' P Y, parking spaces may be required." . Approval was granted on the basis of findings that included: 1. The zoning code does not consider the unique nature of arkin P g space for senior. housing, as such strict enforcement of the code would constitute an undue hardship. .2. The variances are required for the reasonable and P ractical development of the proposed seniors residence and are not based solely on f i nanc i. a 1 concerns, 3. The parking variance is less than that approved for Concordia Arms (50% versus 59%). No parking problem has occurred at Concordia Arms, 4 BACKGROUND .Site Description Acreage: Phase I Residential 3.0 Commercial 1.5 Phase II 4oO 8.5 Existing land use: the former Harmony School structure, two softball diamonds and a basketball court in the northeast portion of the site that are used by North St. Paul and Maplewood for recreation programs. Past Action (this site) 11 -6 -85: Council conditionally approved this PUD along with.the following parking variances: 1. Seventy -nine parking spaces shall be provided for the 52 -unit senior's housing, rather than the 104 required by code. 20 Twenty -six enclosed parking spaces shall be rovided rather than 52 required by code, P . Other Seniors Residence - Proposals Early 1970 Council approved two parking -space variances for the 69- unit Archer Heights seniors residence (1816 Beebe Road) Code required 138 arkin P g ,spaces, 21 spaces were permitted. Council also waived the requirement to provide enclosed parking spaces. In a. survey of Archer Heights residents that was conducted in M ay ' 1976, the HRA concluded that: the types of garage and parking variances given for this project should not be allowed again. While .the elderly might not need one garage and one parking place for each unit, they should include some garages and adequate arkin s P g aces P within a reasonable distance of the building. Adequate parkin g is defined as ample, not only for the needs of the tenants, but also for visitors." Council conditionally approved the followin g parking P arkin variances as art of the PUD for the. Concord lan Arms seniors residence (2030 Lydia Avenue) : 1. Code required 250 parking spaces - -100 spaces were ermi P p tied. 3 40 If a problem was to occur, adequate room exists on ' q the site to provide additional on -site parking. g 50 The variances will not constitute a threat of a substantive. nature to the inhabitants or adjacent property owners.

The 52 -unit seniors' residence shall not be converted to nonse housing without revision of the planned unit development, For purposes of this permit, seniors' housing is defined as a residence occupied by persons in their retirement years with a significant number of one- person households. 4.

Adherence to the site plan date - stamped December 17, 1985. except as required in these conditions, unless a change is approved by the community design review board. Approval of the planned unit development is recommended on the basis of the following .findings of fact: 1. The use is in conformity with the city's comp rehensive 1 Y p plan and with the purpose and standards of this chapter. 20 The establishment, or maintenance of the use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare. 3. The use would be located, designed, maintained and operated to be..compatible with the character of that zoning district. 16 4: The use would not depreciate property values. 5.

The use would generate only minimal vehicular traffic on local streets and shall not create traffic congestion, unsafe access or .parking needs that will cause undue burden to the area properties. 70 The use would be serviced by essential public services such as streets, police, fire protection, utilities, schools and parks. 80' The use would not create excessive additional, requirements at public cost for public facilities and services; and. would not be detrimental to the welfare of the city. 90 The use would preserve and incorporate the. site's natural and scenic features into the development design. 1010 The use would cause minimal adverse environmental effects. Approval of the parking space variance is recommended on the basis of the following findings of fact: 1. The parking space requirements contained in the zonin g code do not realistically apply to the proposed development because these requirements are designed for family housing and do not consider the fewer number of cars per unit needed for senior housing, 20 The variances. would be consistent with the purpose of this chapter because they would not result in the need to park vehicles o.ff -site and because they would be consistent with similar variances granted for the Hazel Ridge and Concordia Arms seniors' residences, No parking problem has occurred at Concordia Arms e Hazel Rid ' Ridge is scheduled for construction in the fall of 198540 3 The planned unit development would produce a development of equal or superior quality to that which would result from strict adherence to the provisions of this chapter. 4. The variances would not constitute a threat of a substantive nature to the property values, safety, health or general welfare of the owners or occupants of adjacent or nearby land, nor be detrimental to the health, safety, morals or general welfare, of the people, 50 The variances are required for reasonable and racticable h sical development p p Y p and are not required solely on the basis of financial considerations. 6. If a parking problem were to occur, adequate room exists on the site to provide additional parking spaces, 17 Adopted this day of , 1986.

Approval of a fifteen —foot parking lot setback ' 9 variance from the westerly lot line. Due to the adjacent R -1 zoning, code requires a twe nty—foot — feet i s p roposed, q enty foot setback, onl fi Request (Staff's) Rezoning of the existing Sarrack's store site (Lot 14) from BC, business commercial* to BC (M). Proposal 1. Refer to the applicant's l etter �� on page 12 The letter speaks of a Land Use Plan change. This was intended to be "zoning" change 9 g . 2. Refer to the site plan on page 9. Thi s 1 an i s • P conceptual. It is submitted to illustrate the type of development as well as the setback variance ro osed along the westerly lot line. p p Comments Rezoning Lot 13 to BC (M) should be compatible with the area if building setbacks are met and the code is amended to prohibit exterior storage. The existing store on Lot 14 should also be rezoned to BC (M) for the protection of the neighborhood. The variance for the drive and parking along the west property line should also be acceptable if code — required screening is provided. Since the hardship that this variance is based on is the future acquisition of right —of —way, which reduces potential parking, no parking should be allowed on any right —of —way and all setbacks should be met. While the proposed site plan has been described as conceptual by the applicant, there are several problems to be worked out: MEMORANDUM City Manager Thomas Ekstrand -- Associate Planner Rezoning and Setback Variance 2305 Stillwater Road Barbara and Gus Sarrack January 2, 1986 1. Parking is proposed on the proposed rig ht—of— way 1 normal r g y a ong Stillwater Road. The city y equi res a 15 —foot setback from planned right—of—ways, 2. Paving is proposed on the exist ting right — way south of the site. 3. Eliminating parking on the right -of —ways and providing 15 —foot setbacks would leave inadequate parking for the building size proposed. 4. A 25 —foot building setback is proposed from the north property line. Code requires 50 feet. These issues will have to be addressed when site plan approval is requested. Recommendation 1. Adoption of the resolution on page 16 rezoning Lots 13 and 14, Auditor's Subdivision No. 77 from R -1, single — dwelling residential and BC, business commercial to BC (M), business commercial (modified). In addition to the findings required by code, approval is recommended on the basis that BC (M) zoning would allow the existing and proposed use of the property while protecting the adjacent residential uses from potential nuisance uses allowed in the BC zone. 2. Adoption of the resolution on page 18, approving a fifteen —foot setback variance along the westerly .property line, Approval is on the basis that: a. The intent of the ordinance would be met if screening is provided. b. There is a drive already located behind the existing building. C. There is an existing grade elevation and landscaping that already partially screens the site. d. There is a hardship that will be caused by the state's plan to acquire additional right —of —way on Stillwater' Road, thereby reducing parking space. Approval is subject to the following conditions: 1 . The five —foot setback from the westerly lot l i n e shall apply to the parking lot only. 2. The screening requirements of Section 36 -27 shall be met along the west property line, 3. Revision of the s i t e plan to eliminate paving on existing and planned right —of— ways and to meet city setback requirements and design review board conditions. This may result in reducing the size of the addition. 2 BACKGROUND Site Description 1. Lot size (Lot 13): 38,780 square feet 2. Gross acreage: 1.47 acres • : Sarrack's International Wine and Spirits on the south 3, Existing land use. half of the a licant's property and a driveway and parking lot o n the proposed north half. . Surrounding Land Uses Northerly and Westerly: single d w e l l i n g s Easterly: Stillwater Road and single dwellings Southerly (south of the liquor store) : Stillwater Road and Cardinal office park Past Actions 7 19 planning —65: The lannin commission denied a rezoning request to BC, business commercial for the northerly lot owned by Sarrack's Liquor Store. They recommended a special use permit fora parking lot. The special use permit was used to protect the adjacent home owner from more intensive commercial development. The request was made, because the applicant had lost parking on the south s i d e of the building from the condemnation for the relocation of Stillwater Road. 9- 16 -65: Council approved the special use permit. 9 19 66• The planning commission considered a request to rezone Lot 13 to BC. . e p g The commission recommended consideration of the entire triangular— shaped area bounded by Stillwater Road., Stillwater Avenue, McKnight Road at this time and for all future zonings. g s The recommended that the subject property be included They .in an area that would best be zoned business and commercial. . 12- 15 -66: Council denied a request to rezone Lot 13 to BC. (See minutes on page 14.) 12 -3 79. • The planning lannin commission moved that staff be directed to investigate the f e a s i b i l i t y of making kin the northern strip of Stillwater Road between Sarrack's at 2305 Stillwater Road and the subject property as all SC, service commercial as part of the plan re —write and to be covered in those hearings. 2 - 4 - 80. The planning n 1 commission recommended denial of a plan amendment for 2315— g 2329 Stillwater Road from RH to SC. 2 - 7 - 80• The council 1 denied a plan amendment for 2315 Stillwater Road north to and . including y the easterly 704 feet of 840 McKnight Road from RH to SC or RM. 3 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 1. Land Use Plan Designation: It is difficult to tell _what the land use designation is for Lot 13, because of the small scale of the map and the accuracy of the land use boundaries (see page 8). It is, therefore, up to the city to interpret, 2. SC., Service Commercial: This land use plan classification is oriented to facilities which are local or community -wide scale. While a full range of commercial uses is permitted in this district, certain types of facilities which may be of a high - intensity nature, such as fast -food restaurants, discount sales outlets, gas stations, and light industrial uses, should be permitted subject to specific performance guidelines. The objective of establishing this district is to provide for a wide variety of commercial uses, compatible with the character and development of the neighborhoods in which they are located. 3. Zoning: Existing—R-1 and BC Proposed - -BC (M) (See page 11.) 4.

Road B Maplewood, Mn. 55109 RE: variance of Appeals Application for Sarrack's Expanded Convience Retail Area Lots 13 and 14: 2305 Stillwater Road Barbara and Gus Sarrack, - owners of Sarrack's International Wines and Spirits, are requesting .q g a Land Use Plan Change and var ience on setback for parking are their property:, Lots 13 and-.14 at 2305 Stillwater Road. Their existing store is a one -story brick /masonry structure. Their request is for adding on additional two -four retail. areas to compliment as-:a small convience shopping area. The adjacent retail area would also be one story of masonry construction. Exact plans of specific retail type and construction materials is uncertain until Land Use Plan can be changed to B.C. M be-fore further examination. This. expansion would allow for full. site and landscaping development of their existing :tin land. GAA, as well as the Sarracks, are extremely eager to work out and comply with all of Maplewood 's site plan and enhance this ' area with an upgraded overall design. GAA intends to blend the existing store facade to a consistent attractive appeal of the expanded retail. There will be a strong continuity between the existing and proposed G p retail. AA has successfully completed two arcels of d eve t o v pment directly south of the Sarrack s property Cardinal Patk '(a small office area) and warehouse expansion for Spartan Specialities on Stillwater Road are positive low -scale examples.: of our.work. We are pleased to work again within the Maplewood requirements. The proposed addition to these two lots are: Four car /delivery van garage area on the south s ide of ' their existing building. This storage area would prevent further vandalism of their vans that has occured at nighttime /of f hours. This structure would be of the same materials as the retail area and it's opening would be on the south side, thus not be viewed easily on :-traffic: Addition of no greater than 7,760 one story retail space.

Member, American Institute of Architects Attachment 7 photo -shop, small deli- cheese- bakery outlet store, gift shop and possible convenience store (selling milk, home groceries, etc). Until zoning conditions have been met, exact clients have not been identified. All proposed retail clients would fall underneath the revised B.C.M;- limited business /modified use guidelines. It is felt that this small retail extension would compliment the adjacent small ibusiness development along Stillwater Road and would not interf er with the adjacent residential area. All traffic to this area would be entering from existing curb -c5uts on-the widened Stillwater Road. In view of the proposed (pending) cut off on the residential south side of McKnight Road approx. 150' from Lot 14, it is virtually impossible that traffic fr-om the Sarrack development would ever flow I to or from this residential area. Proper screening and lighting would be placed to prevent any further visual disruption. As indicated, 70 cars within the Maplewood regualtion size of 10' x20' with - 24' aisles are shown, with three of these being tate g handicap accessible in size and close to the access of the building. (This 706'li P ear feet is comp4rable to 91 compact cars.)' This parking area is shown larger than the Maplewood site requirements of 60 cars, to assure that any discovered on -site variences or conditions will still maintain your required condition. Existing parking area is shown on ex*i►sting plan, so it can be seen that the only affected lot is Lot 13 with regards tb an loss of green space, Y g P .Site var i. ence on setback between arkin and adjacent lots ar P g � e being requested for west property line and south - eastern P ortion along Stillwater Road. Site line at western edge of property is current) paved service to the existing building. The adjacent residential line is a rox. 3 -4 feet above the grade of PP g this paved service area. There are six large (30') pine trees and man small additional tr Y trees and shrubs at this line. Proposal here is to add access for employee parkin a t this - edge. . As this i s general public g g not for g p i use, it is felt that traffic here shall be very minimum. A retaining wall would be added to assure appropriate access. Thi s raised retaining wall and additional landscaping/screening n addition to her elevation g the hi g ati.on of the residential property should prevent visual or noise problems from the retail area to the residential area. Site line at the south eastern edge of . the- ro ert line is t �� P P Y a Stillwater Road as it curves to intersect with Minnehaha Avenue. (Note the hardship loss of approx. one third (1/3) of Sarrack' s Lot 14 that the County Dept. has already taken.) It is proposed y P p p that because of these very irregular shapes, the 15 setback would require a severe hardship t P • i n that the proper number of parking spaces would not be acheived. This existn edge has no current screening/landscaping of an g y type. The propose pan shows placement of hew landscaping screening that would substantial) i prove the existing street scene. The indicated clusters of trees would actua be more than the Code's required tree location ' Y r •q on of 30 on center. (Code requiring 9 such trees for this area, with" this proposed lan 'indicating 13 tree P g s.) Existing curb cuts are to-be used. All other areas of site design lighting, . signage and additional building screening, landscaped screens shall g� P reens at north edge of property 1 be in and above the stated compliance for n. our site design. g If there are further questions or comments lease do not hesitate � P a to con us.

Add to I-3 1 27 Agenda genda TO: City Manager FROM: Finance Director RE: January 27th -Counci l Agenda Item I -3 DATE: January 24, 1986 In my opinion , the staff report concerning employee contracts will not obtain the Council authori zati on needed for the transition from a "monthly wa -e def i n i t y g to. n for Cl eri cal /Techni cal . Supervi sory and Non -Union employees. The report indicates that 2 -112 days pay will deducted from-two paychecks. However, it fails - to indicate that 3 -1 /2 days pay should be deducted from two paychecks to make the transition ti on and that the City, i n effect, agreed to provide employees with two extra days pay to ease the change in pay periods.' eri ods . The first 1986 paycheck that salaried employees received on January 10th included 80 hours at their 1986 pay rate despite the fact that the pay period ended January 3rd and included only 24 hours during 1986.. Thus, salaried employees were paid 56 hours (.or 7 days) in advance. Attached is background information regarding this subject. It is recommended that the Council authorize two days of extra pay for Clerical/ Technical, Supervisory and Non -Union employees i.-n 1986 . to ease the transi tion to a pay period that coincides with hourly employees. Also, it is recommended that the Council authorize the appropriate budget changes to finance the change in pay , peri ods . cc: Public Works Director DFF : l nb MEMORANDUM -TO: City Manager FROM: Finance Director .RE: Proposal to Consolidate Pay Periods DATE: January 21, 1985 The Finance Department has received numerous calls from employees o P y regarding their January 11th payroll checks. Salaried employees don't understand how the entire check can be Daid at their 1985 oavrate when their timesheet covered the last week of December, 1984. These questions arise .every year and emDl oyees have a great deal of difficulty understanding our payroll procedures. For this reason and the other reasons listed in the attached.memo, it is requested that you reconsider the consolidation of pay periods. Perhaps this item could be included in this year's union negotiations. cc: A. Matheys DFF : l nb attachment I +;r MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager FROM: Finance Director RE: Proposal to Consolidate Pay Periods DATE: November 7, 1983 PROPOSAL It is proposed that salaried employees be paid on an hourly basis and their pay :period be revised to coincide with the pay period for hourl y employees. BACKGROUND The bi - weekly gross pay for salaried employees is 1/26 of their annual salaries (subject to adjustments for overtime, etc.) . As a result, salaried employees are paid in advance of the days they work. The seriousness of this problem gradually worsens each year until salaried employees are paid two weeks in advance. This situation occurs approximately every 11 years. The year after this situation occurs there are 27 pay days. By the end of 1984, employees on a 5 -2 schedule will be paid one day in advance. In 1985, this w i l l increase to two days and each successive year it will increase by a day. Another problem caused by our payroll procedures for salaried employees is that the bi- weekly gross pay (excluding overtime, etc.) on each payroll check covers a period different than the timesheet. For example, the gross base pay on payroll checks dated 12 -30 -83 will cover the two weeks ending 12- 31 -83. However, the timesheets submitted for that payroll will cover the two weeks ending 12 -23 -831, This is especially confusing to employees when they start or leave employment with the City. For example, a salaried employee that terminates on 12 -30 -83 would expect that his /her payroll check dated 12 -30 -83 would include an extra week of pay for the hours worked the week after his /her timesheet was turned in on 12- 23 -83. Of course this is not the case and it takes a great deal of explaining, especially since it states on the payroll check stub that the pay is for the period ending 12- 23 -83. A third problem caused by our payroll - procedures for salaried employees is. that extra P.E.R.A. reports are required. For each payroll, two sets of P.E.M.A. reports are required: one for salaried employees and one for hourly employees. This requires extra labor costs which could be avoided if all employees were on the same pay period. I;n summary, there are three basic problems caused by our payroll 1 for PY P salaried employees: 1. Salaried employees are paid in advance of the hours they work. 2. The bi - weekly gross base pay covers a period different than the time sheet, which is very confusing to employees. 3. Extra labor costs are incurred to prepare additional P.E.R.A. reports needed for the two pay periods. :because of these problems, it is recommended that salaried employees be paid on an , hourly basis and their pay period be revised to coincide with the pay period for hourly employees. There are three possible methods of making these changes. 1. Phase the transition by paying salaried employees for 9 days (90% of their regular gross pay) on five consecutive payrolls sometime in 1984. 2. During 1984, pay salaried employees a bi-weekly amount less than 1/26 of their annual salary so that their total 1984 wages would only cover hours worked through 12- 21 -84. 3. During. 1984 when there are three a roll checks scheduled 4 9 PY reduce the gross base pay on the last check by 1/2 so that it covers only one week. In my. opinion, the third alternative would be the best as it would be the easiest to implement and the easiest for employees to understand.

Two items were addressed. The first was recommended changes in Cost Allocation g anon Methodology and the recommended changes in the SAC charges, . g The Cost Allocation Methodology s a c om p lex ' gY plea issue and will be addressed in another report. The proposed changes in the SAC is as follows: Currently $425 January 1, 1986 475 11.8 1987 550 15.8% 1988 650 18.2% 1989 775 19.2% 1990 900 16.1% 1991* 1050 16.6% . *147% increase within six (6) years over the current rates MWCC claims these increases are necessary to maintain adequacy the SAC fund, y o f At the meeting, various communities including ncluding Oakdale, expressed a concern about the need for such a substantial increase and its effects on development. A particular concern was expressed on the impact such increases w d ' p ill have on Commercial Industrial Development. For e xample, in 1985 Zycad aid 19 500. If Z p ca y d were to build the same building in 1991 the cost for the SAC would total 48,300 a substantial increase which could directl impact the decision.to locate e in Minnesota versus another state or in Oakdale or in another City outside the SAC are a . Residential development will also be affected the same. In 1984 we paid $102,170 for residential SAC's, the same development in 1991 would total _ $255,150 , �s .a p This cost the builder must include as. part of the cost of a home. The end result is higher cost to he Metropolitian area the future homeowner in t g , As a developing City, this cost increase - ma have a substantial y tantlal impact on any future development. We have objected to 7 any increase in the SAC charge that will directly effect new development in our growing City. In comparison to the minimal i effect felt n a developed city, there is.little new construction and often SAC demolishes credit to cover any new construction charges. This is to inform you of the future increases in the SAC charge to new development of the future.
