ADJOURNMENT City CounciUManager Workshop 04-26-04 Agenda #D1 MEMORANDUM TO: Richard Fursman, City Manager FROM: Shann Finwall, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Interview of Applicants for CDRB Membership DATE: March 2, 2004 INTRODUCTION There are four applicants for the community design review board (CDRB) vacancy including Richard Currie, Judith Driscoll, Daniel Lee, and Roger Posch. (Refer to four applications attached.) The applicants will be present at the April 26, 2004, city council workshop for interviews by the city council. BACKGROUND Craig Jorgenson left the CDRB vacancy when he resigned from the board last summer. The two- yearterm of the vacancy would run from January 1, 2004 until January 1, 2006. The city council interviewed three CDRB candidates for the vacancy last fall. All three CDRB candidates also applied and interviewed for a planning commission vacancy. One of the candidates, Jeffrey Bartol, was appointed to the planning commission, with the CDRB position left vacant. Since that time, staff has continued to advertise the CDRB vacancy with the latest deadline for application submittal ending February 27, 2004. DISCUSSION The CDRB ordinance specifies that the city council shall appoint CDRB members as follows: two architects, if available; two members shall be from a related design or construction field, and at least two members shall be citizen laypersons. All members shall be able to read and interpret architectural drawings to judge the effect of a proposed building, structure, or sign upon the surrounding community. Currently the CDRB consists of two engineers, one architect, and one attorney. Other consideration shall be given for factors such as longevity or geography in the community. According to the city council's new policy for appointing advisory board vacancies, the city council will conduct the interviews with a representative of the advisory board available for consultation during the interview. The city council will also accept questions from the advisory boards to use during the interview process. Diana Longrie-Kline, chair of the CDRB, will be present for the April 26, 2004, CDRB interviews. Ms. Longrie-Kline submitted the following questions for the city council's consideration: 1. What is your experience and knowledge base regarding different types of landscaping techniques? 2. What is your experience and knowledge base regarding plantings with regard to their ease of maintenance, resistance to disease, longevity, compatibility with other plants, expected growth rates, and expected longevity? 3. What is your experience with regard to the review of parking lot plans, parking requirements, and balancing the ratio between impervious and pervious surfaces? 4. Are you familiar with new techniques for reducing the amount of impervious surfaces? 5. What is your experience in analyzing design or architectural elements for compatibility with surrounding buildings, cost to the building owner, functionality, and maintenance? 6. Are you familiar with the different types of building materials on the market today that are used in construction? 7. Can you discuss your viewpoints regarding new development, retrofitting existing buildings, multi-use zoning, and the direction Maplewood should take in developing design standards? 8. Do you have any experience in signage design and/or ordinance development regarding signage?

No. I am, however, slated to finish a graduate degree in May, and will then hope to have a change in employment. 3. Community Design Review Board 4. In general I would like to have a hand in shaping the community architecture and landscapes. My particular interest would be in the aesthetics and functionality of a proposed structure: How is the building designed? Are the exterior materials suitable? Is the landscaping sufficient? Is the site layout welcoming and functional for all members of the community? 5. I volunteer at the St. Paul Children's hospital, visiting patients and their families with my registered therapy dog. In addition, I developed and executed a design workshop for Century College in White Bear Lake which enables students of all levels to create and execute interior design schemes. 6. I believe I have a somewhat unique viewpoint which comes from an attempt to integrate two divergent interests and their work applications. One is interior and photo design, an area driven by aesthetics and beauty, while another is family therapy, which is characterized by a desire to help people from all walks of life become more functional in their lives. In addition, interior design work I did for Glynwood Center in New York peaked my interest in how town planners fulfill the polarized needs of a diverse and growing community. ~~ iVED MAR 2 3 2004 6 Attachment 4 CITY OF MAPLEWOOD BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS APPLICANT INFORMATION FORM NAME I a ~ ~~ ~e~ ADDRESS ~ ~ ~ (u _ ZIP ~SIOR PHONE NO.
