SUBJECT:
Approval of a Conditional Use PermitRevision and Design Plans for Agropur,
2080 Rice Street
Introduction
Dick Behling, of Agropur (formerly Schroeder Milk), located at 2080 Rice Street, is requesting
approval to build a3,540-square-foot building additiononto the back of the facility. The
proposed addition would be a tank-room addition needed to replace milk product tanks for their
milk processing operation. Refer to the attachments.
Mr.Behling is requesting approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) revision and approval of
design plans for the proposed addition. City ordinance requires a CUP for “processing and
distribution stations for beverages.”
Background
June 27, 1994: The city council granted a CUP for Schroeder Milk to expand the facility.
June 28, 1999: The city council approved a CUP revision for a three-phase facility expansion
project.The council also approved design plans and tax increment financing. TheCUP
revision was subject to:
1.All construction shall follow the site plan approved by the city. The director of community
development may approve minor changes.
2.The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of council approval
or the permit shall become null and void. The council may extend this deadline for one year.
3.The city council shall review this permit in one year.
4.If the city council determines there is not enough on-site parking, the council, may require
that the property owner provide additional parking.
April 28, 2003: The city council approved the vacation of an unneeded water main easement
within the applicant’s property.
Discussion
Building Design and Parking
Staff does not see any problem with the proposed addition. It will match the exterior of the
existing building and will not be visible from the street. The site is large and there is sufficient
parking on the site for the applicant’s needs, therefore, parking is not an issue. Also, there are
no new employees to be hired because of the proposed addition.
Landscaping
There will be no affect on landscaping since the proposed addition does not involve any
alteration to the existing planted areas. Also, the proposed addition will not be visible from the
street or any neighboring viewsto warrant additional landscaping.
Engineer’s Report
Jon Jarosch, staff engineer, has the following comments:
The plans look fine from our end.
A grading/erosion control permit will be required.
There may be SAC, sewer availability charges, associated with the proposed addition. The
engineering staff will determine this.
Assistant Fire Chief and Building Official Comments
The applicant must meet all applicable building codes and provide fire protection according to all
applicable codes as well.
Police Comments
Chief Paul Schnell commented that there were no obvious police issues with this proposed
project.
CUP Findingsfor Approval
The zoning ordinance requires that the city council find that all nine “standards” for CUP
approval be met to allow a CUP. In short, these state that the use would (refer to the resolution
for the complete wording):
Comply with the city’s comprehensive plan and zoning code.
Maintain the existing or planned character of the neighborhood.
Not depreciate property values.
Not cause any disturbance or nuisance.
Not cause excessive traffic.
Be served by adequate public facilities and police/fire protection.
Not create excessive additional costs for public services.
2
Maximize and preserve the site’s natural and scenic features.
Not cause adverse environmental effects.
The proposed tank room addition would meet the above criteria and would not create any
negative issuesor concerns.
Budget Impact
None.
Recommendation
A.Adoption of the resolution amending the conditional use permit for Agropur(formerly the
Schroeder Milk site), located at 2080 Rice Street for their proposed 3,540-square-foot
building addition. Approval is based on the findings required by city ordinance and subject

2013.The director of community development may approve minor changes.
2.The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of council
approval or the permit shall become null and void. The council may extend this deadline
for one year.
3.The city council shall review this permit in one year.
4.If the city council determines there is not enough on-site parking, the council, may
require that the property owner provide additional parking.
B.Approve the plans date-stamped October 31, 2013for the proposed tank room addition to
Agropur, located at 2080 Rice Street. Approval is subject to the following conditions:

SUBJECT:
Approval of a Resolution for a Comprehensive Plan Amendmentanda
Resolution for a Planned Unit Development for Battle Creek Preserve,
2501 Londin Lane
A.Approval of a Resolution for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
B.Approval for a Resolution for a Planned Unit Development
Introduction
Project Description
Greg Johnson of Coventry Senior Livingisproposing to redevelop the 5.92acre former fire
station site with a senior housing developmentto be called Battle Creek Preserve. The
development will consist of 148units of senior housing in a four-story building with underground
parking.
The four-story building will be 179,544square feet in area. The proposed facility will have a
mixture of congregate livingunits,assisted livingunits andmemory and enhanced careunits.
The facility will be managed and operated by Ebenezer Management Services,which owns and
operates other facilities within the Twin Cities area. Amenitieswouldinclude afull dining room
and commercial kitchen, TV lounges, club rooms, day rooms, theater,underground parking, pub
room, wellness center and abeauty salon.
Requests
To build this development, the applicants are requesting the citycouncilapprove the following:
1.Aresolution for a comprehensive plan amendment, from government (G) to high density
residential (HDR)
2.Aresolution for a conditional use permit for a planned unit development
Background
October 13, 1977: The city council approved a resolution for expenditures to purchase the
property at 2501 Londin Lane from Ramsey County in order to build a fire station.
October 28, 2013: The city council approved the building of a new fire station on McKnight
Road, north of the 3M campus. This fire station is intended to serve south Maplewood
neighborhoodsand replace the facility at 2501 Londin Lane.
Discussion
2030 Comprehensive Plan and Density
The2030 Comprehensive Planguides 2501 Londin Lane as government (G). All public
buildings and uses are guided as G. The applicant is requesting the city council re-guide 2501
Londin Lane as high density residential (HDR).HDRhas a density range of 10.1 to 25 units per
net acre. The property is 5.92 acres in size which means the maximum amount of units allowed
on this site is 148 units, which is what the applicant is requesting. For reference, the existing
condo buildings directly west of this site areguidedhigh density residential and the two
buildings have a density ofapproximately19.5 units per acre.
Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development
The site is currently zoned as farm(f). A rezoning is required for this development to move
forward. If the applicant’s proposed planned unit development (PUD) is approved this would
become the official zoning of thesite and rectify the zoning situation. APUD will also allow
flexibility from the multiple dwelling residential (R-3) zoning district whichrequires multi-family
housing to have the following:
1.Unit Sizes:Code requires minimumunit sizes of 580 square feet per efficiency or one-
bedroom units. The studio units will be542square feet in area, which requires flexibility
from the minimum unit size of 580 square feet. The one-bedroom units will range from
693to800square feet, which meets code requirements. Code requires two-bedroom
units to have a minimum unit size of 740 square feet. The two-bedroom units will range
from1,047to 1,450square feet, also meeting code requirements.
The city has allowed smaller unit sizes in the recent past primarily for memory-care units
as shown in this comparison:
Project Name Number of Memory Units Approved Unit Size
Comforts of Home 42 units 221 to 360 sq ft
The Shores75units 433 to 578 sq ft
The Seasons of Maplewood30 units 388 sq ft
Lakewood Commons 100 units 425 sq ft (efficiencies)
Staff feels the reduced unit sizes would not be appropriate for typical apartment living.
The senior-housing industry, however, has moved toward smaller room sizes since it
has found that the larger spaces are not needed for assisted-or memory-care units. The
city has allowed lesser unit sizes for memory-care units fairly regularly with recent
projects as noted above. The proposed efficiency units are 38square feet smaller than
the city’s required 580 square feet. Staff does not find a problem with this request for
these units.
2.Height:Code requires a maximum height of 35feet or three floors, unless the city
council approves a higher height with a conditional use permit. The Battle Creek
Preservedevelopment is proposed to have fourfloors with anoverallheight of 51feet,
which requires city council approval.Staff does not object to the proposed four-story
building height mainly because of the existing condo buildings to the west which are also
four-stories in height.
3.Storage Space:Code requires a minimum indoor storage space of 120 cubic feet per
unit. The applicant’s plans do not show any areas for additional storage. The applicant
is requesting a waiver to this requirement. The applicant has stated in other facilities
theyoperate, memory care and assisted living residents storage space needs are
minimal.Staff feels a reduction is warranted when considering the proposed types of
units, but not a complete waiver. Staff feelsprovidingstorage space for residents within
the range of 30 to 50 cubic feet per unitis reasonable. Staff is recommending the
applicant provide at least 30 cubic feet of storage space per unit.
4.Parking:Code requires aminimum parking standard of two parking spaces per unit, for
a total of 296parking spaces required for the Battle Creek Preservedevelopment. As
proposed, however, the development will have 83underground parking spacesand50
surface parking spaces, for a total of 133.
When asked, the applicant statedthis number of parking spaces will be adequate for the
development indicating that the memory careandassisted living unit residents typically
will not have vehicles. Thus the majority of the parking lots spaces will be used by staff
and visitors.Senior housing developments approved by the city since the 1980s have
all been approved with reduced parking. The city has found that this apartment/town
house ratio is excessive for senior facilities and has approved parking waivers for
recently-approved projects. Examples are:
• The Shores –(105units) 210spaces required 52allowed
• The Seasons at Maplewood(150 units) 300 spaces required 145 allowed
• Summerhill (44 units) 88 spaces required 78 allowed
• Comforts of Home (42 units) 84 spaces required 25 allowed
Staff is supportive of the proposed parking reduction. The city council has supported the
concept that senior-housing facilities, especially those with assisted-and memory-care
units, require considerably fewer parking spaces than typical multi-family housing.If
parking were to become an issue there would be room west of the building for additional
parking spots.
5.Parking Space Width:Code requires a minimum parking space width of 9.5 feet. The
applicant’s plans show the parking spaces 9 feet wide. Staff recommends having the
applicant resubmit a site plan showing parking stalls at least9.5 feet wide.
6.Front Yard Setback:Code requires a minimum front yard building setback of 30 feet to
the right-of-way. The development proposes a 25-foot setback to the Lower Afton Road
right-of-way for the one-story dining room and kitchen facility on the north side of the
building. The building would meet the required building setback along Londin Lane.
Parking lots are required to be setback at least 15 feet from the right-of-way. The
applicant’s site plan shows a setback of 10 feet. A revised site plan should be submitted
that meets the minimum parking lot setback requirements.
7. Side Yard Setback: Code requires a 20-foot side yard setback. This would be
applicable on the west side of the project site.There is a pipeline near thewesterly
boundary of this site which requires a 100 foot setback. The plans show a setback of
225feet between the side yard property line and the building. All other setbacks
proposed meet the R-3 zoning requirements.
Design Review
Building Elevations and Site Plan
The main entry will face Londin Lane.The exterior finishes for the project would be a mix of
brick, cement board siding and vinyl siding.The only driveway for the site will be accessed via
Londin Lane. This driveway will lead to a looped area near the entrance and along the drive
there will besurface parking spaces. The underground garage will be accessedon the east
side of the driveway. This drive is at least 20 feet in width at all points.
There is a patio/garden area proposed on the northeast corner of the building. It is not shown
on the applicant’s site plan but an 8-foot wide bituminous trail will be required along the north
side of Londin Lane from the eastern entrance drive to the existing crosswalk at Lower Afton
Road.This is called for by the city’s comprehensive plan.
Tree Preservation
The city’s tree ordinance requires that the applicant submit a tree survey showing the number,
size, and species of all significant trees on the lot.A significant tree is any healthy tree as
follows: 6 caliper inch or larger hardwood, 8 caliper inch or larger evergreen, and 12 caliper
inch or larger softwood.The significant trees should be shown on the grading plan and reflect
which trees will be removed with the development.The number of replacement trees will
depend on the results of a calculation of the overall caliper inches of trees on the site versus the
caliper inches removed.A tree survey shall be submitted for review to ensure code compliance.
Landscaping
The applicant’s site plan shows a total of 98 trees to be planted on the site and along the Londin
Lane and Lower Afton Road right-of-ways.The landscape plan only shows 24 trees.Final
plans should reflect the accurate number of trees planted on the site.
The landscape plan shows turf grass planted around the building, with fescue seed
hydroseeded throughout the remaining portions of the property, including the right-of-ways.The
city’s boulevard ordinance does require that all disturbed boulevards be replanted with turf
grass, but that might not be practical here.Additionally, there are areas of the west side of the
lot where no grading is proposed, yet the hydroseed is shown.The plans should reflect what
areas of the lot they will be disturbing and where the fescue will be planted.
The applicant’s site plan shows rain gardens.The city requires that the applicant submit a
detailed planting plan for each rain garden.Rain gardens must be planted, not seeded.If the
total rain garden area exceeds 5,000 square feet, city staff may approve seeding for the area
that exceeds 5,000 square feet.In that case, seeding would typically be on the slopes.
Lighting
The lighting plan shows 10freestanding lights throughoutthe siteand 8building mountedlights.
City code requires that illumination from outdoor lighting be limited to .4 foot candles at all
property lines and that freestanding lights maintain a maximum height of 25 feet. Aphotometric
plan shall be resubmitted to staff to ensure the .4 foot candle maximum is being met.
TrashEnclosure
All trash and recycling will be maintained within the building, for pick up through the
underground garage. Because of the size of this development and number of residents, staff
also recommends that there be trash and recycling receptacles located throughout the site to
ensure residents, visitors, and employees have access to these containers.
Department Comments
Richard Doblar,Maplewood Police Department:
1.Construction site thefts and burglariesare a large business affecting many large construction
projects throughout the Twin Cities metro area.The contractor / developer should be
encouraged to plan and provide for site security during the construction process.On-site
security, alarm systems, and 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 street lighting should be provided and maintained within the
development in order to assure that addresses are readily recognizable and accessible.
3.The developer should be encouraged to provide enough vehicle parking spaces for the
residents and their guests during special events and occasions such as birthdays and holidays.
4.The Maplewood Police Department anticipates that calls for service to the new facility will be
primarily for medical services.As such, it is highly encouraged that all entrances and exits on
the building are clearly marked in order to expedite the arrival of first responder and medical
personnel.
Dave Fisher, Building Official:The building is required to meeting the State building code.
If the City is financing the project it will need to in compliance with the City of Maplewood Green
Building Ordinance.
Butch Gervais, Fire Marshal:Shall install all fire protection systems according to state and local
codes. Must also have minimum 20-foot access road for fire department.
Jim Taylor Parks Department: The following calculations are based on the plans submitted as
part of the development review on October 22, 2013.These numbers are subject to change if
the plans for the development of the site change (It is based on the actual units).The PAC fee
calculations:
49-1 Bedroom X $1,140Unit = $55,860
63–2 Bedroom X $2,080/Unit = $131,040
Total = $186,900
Jon Jarosch, Maplewood Engineering: Please see attached report.

Citizen Comments
Staff surveyed the 230property owners within 500 feet of this site for their comments. There
were 23written replies. Staff also receivedseveral phone calls from residents asking general
questions about the project without indicating feelings one way or the other. Six werein favor,
threehad concerns/commentsand14wereagainst the project.
In Favor
1.Ann Norberg,2445 Londin Lane, Unit 305:I approve of the sale of the Maplewood-
owned property at 2501 Londin Lane for development of the “Battle Creek Preserve” a
148-unit seniorhousing project. I request that there is abundant parking on-site for all
staff and visitors. Ebenezer Management Services should provide adequate security for
all: 1. Incoming/outgoing staff and visitors and 2. All residents –so they don’t wonder out
unattended.
2.Albert Nordstrom, 2465 Londin Lane, Unit 106: I can’t imagine a better use for this
property.
3.Jerry McCormack, 2445 Londin Lane, Unit 301: I have no objections.
4.Geraldine Woodbeck, 2445 Londin Lane, Unit 204: I think it would be a nice addition to
the area.
5.Bob and Janet Traun, 413 Highpoint Curve: We think the construction of the 148 unit
senior housing project at 2501 Londin Lane is a great idea.
6.Stephen Boeh and Lisa Marschall, 2485 Londin Lane, Unit 220: In response to your
letter requesting input on theBattle Creek Preserve Senior Housing Proposal for the
property located at 2501 Londin Lane, below areour comments: As owners ofproperty
adjoiningthis sitewe believe the proposed development of 2501 Londin Lane would be
a great fit for the area. There is a continued need for more senior housing in this area of
the Twin Cities and it is a perfect location for this type of development.Ebenezer
properties throughout the Twin Cities appear to be well managed and maintained so we
are not concerned about negative impact on the value of our property located in the
Connemara condominiums.
Concerns
1.Mrs. B Niepritzky, 2445 Londin Lane, Unit 102: It looks good and there’s a need, but it
will create a lot of traffic along Londin Lane that is already becoming a “fast-speed” road
to get to Lower Afton Road. Also, we need a fire station in this area –south Maplewood.
2.Richard Peterson, 2445 Londin Lane, Unit 101: Things to be considered. 1. The space
between the building at 2535 Londin Lane has a gas line along its eastern side. 2. The
first station would have to be removed. 3. The space between the buildings should be
considered. 4. The watershed pond has been lowered because of the groundwater level
in the Connemara buildings. 5.Overall it would be a good area for this kind of building
to be built.
3.Ann & Paul Valle, 358 South O'Day Street: We are not opposed to a senior housing
development.What we are opposed to is tearing down the fire station to accommodate
it.If the City of Maplewood is not going to use the building for a fire station in the
foreseeable future, there are many other uses that can be found for it.Tearing relatively
new buildings down tobuild more is wasteful and extremely poor planning on the city's
part.
Against
1.Sue Zukaitis, 2445 Londin Lane, Unit 306: I am against taking what little green space
we have left in Maplewood to build more concrete structures. I love that the area behind
Connemara I, II and the fire station house deer, wild turkeys, ducks at a pond. I’ve
always enjoyed driving down Lower Afton to Highway 61, the beautiful trees that line
both sides of the road make for a relaxing drive. I personally wish that the city of
Maplewood would purchase the land behind Connemara I, II and the fire station and
make it part of Battle Creek Park. Keep it GREEN!
2.Nancy Coles, 2485 Londin Lane, Unit 424: We are nothappy about having anything
built on the lot next to our home. We live on the fourth floor –east side of Connemara I.
We especiallydon’t like the high part of the structure being built next to the east side of
our building. The corner of Londin Lane and Lower Afton is a very busy intersection. I
imaginestop lights would have to be installed. What about the density level of the
population in the area?
3.Gary Fuller, 354 Mary Street South: I feel we don’t need all the extra traffic and
commotion that this project would involve. Right now we already have people running
stop signs at the corners of Sterling and Mary and Sterling and Londin Lane. One of the
best aspects of our neighborhood is that it’s fairly quiet and easy going which I think we’ll
lose with this project being built in this location. I’ve lived on the corner of Mary and
Sterling for almost 33 years, so I know the neighborhood very well.
4.Laura Ohehir, 2455 Londin Lane, Unit 318: I think it would cause too much traffic.
5.Sushila Mohan, 406 Highpoint Curve South: This means you are going to move fire
station, which I would not like. Traffic will increase on Londin Lane which is not a wide
street. We will lose the quietneighborhood, the very reason we are living here. We are
opposed to the present plan.
6.JoAnn Rettke, 360 Mary Street South: My husband, Al, shared with me the
correspondence you sent out regarding the housing proposal on 2501 Londin Lane.I
cannot tell you how very disappointed I was to hear about the proposal.We live on Mary
Street and face the pond and existing fire station. It’s bad enough that there is a weed
garden that the city deems “back to nature” that is unsightly at the park, but to think that
someday there would be a 4 story housing project in our neighborhood sickens me.The
streets in the area do not accommodate the existing traffic, so adding the kind of traffic
that 148 apartments and care givers would produce makes it difficult for the existing
residents of the area to get to their own homes.There are many other reasons why I
feel strongly against this proposal.Please let me know when there will be the next
public hearing.I feel there are better uses for the property indicated.
7.AlRettke, 360 Mary Street South: Please notify me of any meetings regarding 2501. I
do not support the oversized proposed development on the site of fire station 4. It would
ruin the feeling of our neighborhood, place additional demands on the infrastructure and
reduce the value of my home of seventeen years.I live right across Crestview park in
the brick two story.Quite frankly, this proposal makes me want to puke.That is as nice
as I can be. Why not put in a small community center or interpretive facility there?
8.Michael Taube, 324 Oday Street South: I am opposed to this project based on its height
and location.I live at the corner of Mary St and O'Day St, and enjoy looking the open
space andBattle Creek Park. I amvery open to the idea of commerce in the
area.Perhaps it could be moved down the street a few blocks to the other tract of land of
sale closer to McKnight, which would not obstruct anyone’s views of the park.
9.Geraldine Madsen, 2485 Londin Lane, Unit 213: I think they should keep the fire house!
Actually there is too much traffic now, would be terrible with an addition like you are
proposing.
10.Loraine Ruedy, 2455 Londin Lane, Unit 323: More traffic and use of roads –area is
nearby beautiful private homes and the condos at Connemara I and II and children.
11.Terrence Cotter, 2445 Londin Lane, Unit 312: “Not in my backyard” It is a good idea but
not at the expense of the fire station! Can’t the planners put an “L” inthe plans?
12.Judith McMillen, 2465 Londin Lane, Unit 305: Please see attached letter.
13.Paul Donatell, 2485 Londin Lane, Unit 218: Please see attached letter.
14.G. William Burkhardt, 2485 Londin Lane, Unit 421: Please see attached letter.

Engineering Plan Review
PROJECT: Coventry Senior Living
PROJECT NO: 13-09
COMMENTS BY: Jon Jarosch, P.E. – CivilEngineerII
DATE: 11-4-2013
PLAN SET: City Review Plans dated 10-30-2013
REPORTS: Hydrocad Report dated 11-4-2013
The Applicant is proposing a redevelopment of the East County Line Fire Station property at
2501 Londin Lane. The proposal includes the replacement of the existing facility with a 148-unit
senior living facility. It appears that utilities are available to this site to service the proposed
facility. This project shall be subject to the City’s water quality and rate control requirements.
The applicant is proposing to meet these requirements by constructing rain gardens and a pond
as part of the project.
Thefollowing are engineeringreview comments on the preliminary design, and act as
conditions prior to issuing demolition, grading, sewer, and building permits. A final review is
required of both the plans and stormwater management prior to the submittal forany permits.
Drainage and Stormwater Management
1)The existing storm sewer system along Londin Lane shall be shown on the plans. This
storm sewer system shall be protected throughout construction.
2)Emergency overflowsshall be noted on the plans for all basins (ponds and raingardens).
Likewise, an emergency overflow shall be noted for the low area near the garage
entrance. All emergency overflows shall be reinforced to prevent erosion.
3)Pre-treatment is required before runoff is discharged into ponds and raingardens to
prevent sedimentation. Pre-treatment devices (sumps, stormwater quality structures,
etc.) shall be noted on the plans.
4)The storm sewer invert information shown on sheet C4.1 appears to be incorrect. This
information shall be corrected.
5)The rim elevation for manhole 105 appears to be incorrect. The applicant shall review
this information and correct if necessary.
6)According to the ALTA Survey, an existing storm sewer pipe lies within the property. The
applicant shall note whether or not this existing line is to be removed.
Attachment 8
7)Soil boring information shall be provided for the raingarden areas to support the
infiltration rates assumed in the drainage modeling.
8)A stormwater management report shall be provided per the City of Maplewood’s
stormwater standards. This site is subject to the City’s water quality and rate control
requirements. The report shall detail how the proposed site improvements meet these
requirements. The proposed improvements shall be modified if necessary.
9)From a cursory review, it appears that the amount of infiltration provided by the
proposed design falls short of that required by the City’s water quality requirements. The
applicant shall review the City’s standards and ensure the proposed improvements are
adequate.
10)This project shall be submitted to the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District
(RWMWD) for review. All requirements of the RWMWD shall be met prior to the
issuance of a grading permit.
Grading and Erosion Control
11)It has been noted that the contours shown on the grading plan are not from a site
survey; but from Lidar data. The applicant shall confirm that this data is accurate enough
for the proposed facility and site improvements.A site survey is highly recommended.
12)Due to the steep slopes and high potential for erosion, all disturbed areas shall be
stabilized immediately after final grading.Steep slopes shallbe broken into shorter runs
through the use of silt fence, bio-rolls, or other methods of erosion control.
13)All pedestrian facilities shall be ADA compliant.This is especially important given the
nature of the proposed facility. One area noted during the review is the patio area off the
northeastern corner of the proposed building. It appears that this patio is 4-feet below
the first floor elevation. How will this patio be accessed?
14)A 10-foot wide access route shall be provided to the proposed pond. Please refer to the
City of Maplewood’s Stormwater Standards for further detail.
15)Silt fence or other perimeter control shall be installed between the proposed building and
Londin Laneto the west of the western entrance drive.
16)Heavy-duty silt fence shall be installed at the emergency overflow at the northwestern
corner of the project.
17)The proposed raingardens shall be protected throughout construction. A phased
approach in which the raingardens are constructed near the end of the project would be
ideal.
Attachment 8
18)The rip-rap channel near the eastern entrance drive shall be extended to the bottom of
the raingarden. This area is highly susceptible to erosion and is likely to create a future
maintenance issue. It is highly recommended that an alternative method be utilized to
convey runoff from the parking lot to the raingarden.
19)Londin Laneshallbe swept as needed to keep the road clear of sediment and
construction debris.
20)The existing storm sewer along Londin Lane shall have inlet protection devices installed
prior to the commencement of any site work. The inlet protection shall be shown on the
plans.
21)A retaining wall is shown near the northeast corner of the proposed building. As this wall
is over 4-feet in height, a plan, signed by an engineer licensed in the State of Minnesota,
isrequired.These plans will be required for the issuance of a grading permit.This wall
will also require a permit from the City’s Building Department.
Sanitary Sewer and Water Service
22)Provide details for construction of connection to existing sanitary sewer service.All
sanitary sewer service components shall be schedule 40 PVC or better in quality.
23)Provide fixture unit design computations for connection to existing sanitary sewer
service.
24)A SAC, WAC, and PAC determination will be required as part of the project. The
applicant will be required to pay all SAC, WAC, and PAC charges associated with the
project.
25)The proposed water service modifications are subject to the review and conditions of
Saint Paul Regional Water Services(SPRWS). The applicant shall submit plans and
specifications to SPRWS for review and meet all requirements they haveprior to the
issuance of a grading permit by the City.
Other
26)The applicant shall provide an 8-foot wide bituminous trail, with pedestrian ramps, along
Londin Lane from the eastern entrance drive (of the Coventry facility) to the existing
crosswalk at Lower Afton Road. The pedestrian ramps shall be ADA compliant. The
pedestrian ramp at the eastern entrance drive to the facility shall line up with the eastern
side of Sterling Street for a future trail extension. An easement may need to be
dedicated to accommodate this trail.
Attachment 8
27)The applicant shall provide information detailing the anticipated vehicular trip
generations associated with the proposed improvements.
28)Note number 9 under “Construction Specifications” on sheet C2.1 statesthat no permits
are anticipated for the proposed work. This statement is misleading to contractors as
there are numerous permits required with this project. The applicant shall revise this
note.
29)A “dumpster and driveup concrete section” is noted in the design details on sheet C7.1
of the civil plans. This area is not shown in the site layout. This area shall be noted on
the site layout.
30)The applicant shall verify that the lower level parking areaaccess route is navigable by
the types of vehicle anticipated to use this area (passenger vehicles, garbage trucks,
etc.).
31)It appears that grading is proposed within Ramsey County right-of-way along Lower
Afton Road. The project shall be reviewed by Ramsey County. A copy of a Ramsey
County right-of-way permit isrequired prior to the City’s issuance of a grading permit.
32)A right of way permit isrequired for any work with the City of Maplewood’s right of way.
This permit will require restoration of the right-of-way to City Standards.
33)A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment was recommended by the City’s Consultant,
SEH, Inc. during a Phase I investigation at the site. The City is in the process of
conducting the Phase II Site Assessment.The proposed project shall be subject to any
requirements in this report.
34)An ALTA Survey was performed on the site by the City’s consultant Bolton and Menk,
Inc. This ALTA Survey noted two blanket easement over the entire property conveyed to
the Great Lakes Pipeline Company. The applicant should be aware of these easements
and any potential impacts to the proposed project.
35)The developer shall submit a copy of the MPCA’s construction stormwater permit
(SWPPP) to the City before the City will issue a grading permit for this project.
36)The Owner shall satisfy all requirements of all permitting and reviewing agencies
including,but not limited to, theMPCA, DNR, ArmyCorps of Engineers, SPRWSand
RWMWD.
37)The Owner shall sign a maintenance agreement, prepared by the City, for all stormwater
treatment devices (sumps, basins,infiltration basins, etc.).

At the request of the City we have prepared the following overview for the Planning Commission review of the
proposed TIF Plan for TIF District No. 1-13.
Minnesota Statute 469.175 Subdivision (3) outlines a number of findings that a municipality must make in order to
approve the creation of a TIF District. One of the specific findings outlined in this section is,

order to comply with this requirement City’s typically ask their Planning Commission to review the proposed TIF Plan,
and the development described within, and confirm by resolution the finding that the proposed development conforms
to the comprehensive plan of the City.
Included for the Planning Commissions review are the proposed modification to the Development Program for
Development District No. 1, the proposed Tax Increment Financing (Redevelopment) Plan for TIF District No. 1-13,
and the resolution approving conformity. The Planning Commission is being asked to review the provided
documents, and upon concluding the proposed construction of an approximately 148-unit senior living facility to be in

Housing districts are a type of tax increment financing district which consists of a project intended for occupancy, in
part, by persons or families of low and moderate income. Low and moderate income is defined in federal, state, and
municipal legislation. A project does not qualify if no more than 20% of the square footage of buildings that receive
assistance from tax increments consist of commercial, retail, or other nonresidential uses.
In addition, housing districts are subject to various income limitations and requirements for residential property. For
owner occupied residential property, 95% of the housing units must be initially purchased and occupied by individuals
whose family income is less than or equal to the income requirements for qualified mortgage bond projects under
Page 1
746-2+78)(
'MX]SJ1ETPI[SSH1MRRIWSXE
section 143(f) of the Internal Revenue Code. For residential rental property, the property must satisfy the income
requirements for a qualified residential rental project as defined in section 142(d) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The TIF District meets the above qualifications for these reasons:
1.The planned improvements consist of the following:
a.148 senior rental units, for which one of the following will apply:
at least 20% (30 units) of the rental units will be occupied by persons with incomes no greater than
o
50% of county median income,
at least 40% (59 units) of the rental units will be occupied by persons with incomes no greater than
o
60% of county median income,
2.No improvements are planned other than housing.
3.The City will require in the development agreement that the income limitations for owner-occupied units
apply to at least the initial buyers; and will require that the income limitations for all rental units apply for the
duration of the TIF District.
Tax increments derived from a housing district must be used solely to finance the cost of housing projects as defined
above. The cost of public improvements directly related to the housing projects and the allocated administrative
expenses of the Authority may be included in the cost of a housing project.

Housing districts may remain in existence 25 years from the date of receipt of the first tax increment. The City
anticipates that the TIF District will remain in existence the maximum duration allowed by law (projected to be through
the year 2041). Modifications of this plan (see Section Z) shall not extend these limitations. All tax increments from
taxes payable in the year the TIF District is decertified shall be paid to the Authority. Pursuant to MN Statutes,
Section 469.175 subdivision 1(b), the Authority elects to delay receipt of first increment until 2016.

The proposed development is expected to be constructed in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of a 100-unit senior
housing facility containing a mix of assisted living and memory care units, while Phase 2 will add an additional 48-
units to the project. The total number of units created by both phases is 148. The development will also include
common areas including dining rooms, and other resident amenities.
The City anticipates using tax increment to finance a portion of the land acquisition, public utility, site improvement
and other eligible improvements associated with the development, as well as related administrative expenses and
pooling for affordable housing.
Construction of phase 1 of the project is expected to begin and be partially completed in 2014. Phase 1 of the project
will be 50% constructed in 2014, assessed and on the tax rolls as of January 2, 2015 for taxes payable in 2016.
Completion of Phase 1, and the construction of phase 2 of the project is expected to begin and be fully completed in
2015, with the entire project 100% assessed and on the tax rolls as of January 2, 2016 for taxes payable in 2017.
At the time this document was prepared there were no signed construction contracts with regards to the above
described development.
7IGXMSR.*MRHMRKWERH2IIHJSV8E\-RGVIQIRX*MRERGMRK
In establishing the TIF District, the City makes the following findings:
(1) The TIF District qualifies as a housing district;
See Section E of this document for the reasons and facts supporting this finding.
(2) The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur
solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future.
The proposed development is a senior rental housing project consisting of up to 148 assisted living,
memory care and independent living units in the City of Maplewood. The City has reviewed
information submitted by the proposed developer, showing that the cost of providing low to
moderate income housing makes the proposed development infeasible without public financial
assistance. Without the improvements the City has no reason to expect that significant
development of this type would occur without assistance similar to that provided in this plan.
Therefore the City has no reason to believe the development would occur but-for tax increment
assistance.
The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use
of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from
the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for
the maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan: Without the improvements the
City has no reason to expect that significant redevelopment would occur without assistance similar
to that provided in this plan. Therefore, the City concludes as follows:
a.The City’s estimate of the amount by which the market value of the site will increase
without the use of tax increment financing is $0 (except for a small amount for annual
appreciation of land value).
Page 3
746-2+78)(
'MX]SJ1ETPI[SSH1MRRIWSXE
b.If all development which is proposed to be assisted with tax increment were to occur in the
District, the total increase in market value would be approximately $15,540,000.
c.The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the
district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be $3,773,415. (See Exhibit VI)
d.Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the
Council finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase
greater than $11,766,415 (the amount in clause b less the amounts in clauses a and c)
without tax increment assistance.
The comparative analysis outlined above of the estimated market values both with and
without establishment of the TIF District and the use of tax increments assumes no
development will occur on the site because of the extraordinary costs associated with
constructing affordable housing units. We assume the estimated market value without
creation of the District would only increase at most by an incremental inflationary amount.
The increase in estimated market value of the proposed development (less the indicated
subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of
the TIF District and the use of tax increments.
(3) The TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for development or redevelopment of the City as a
whole; and
The reasons and facts supporting this finding are that the TIF District is properly zoned,
and the TIF Plan has been approved by the City Planning Commission and will generally
complement and serve to implement policies adopted in the City's comprehensive plan.
(4) The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a
whole, for the development of the Project Area by private enterprise.
The reasons and facts supporting this finding are that the development activities are
necessary so that development and redevelopment by private enterprise can occur within
the Project Area.

*The City is anticipating issuing general obligation tax increment bonds, which will be secured by tax increment
revenue. Additionally, the City is anticipating entering into a pay-as-you-go obligation with the Developer, which will
be secured by tax increment not used in the repayment of debt service on the bond issue.

The City anticipates providing financial assistance to the proposed development through the use of both up-front and
pay-as-you-go financing. As tax increments are collected from the TIF District in future years, a portion of these taxes
will be used to fund debt service on a bond issuance, and a portion will be distributed to the developer/owner as
reimbursement for public costs incurred (see Section K).
The City reserves the right to finance any or all public costs of the TIF District using pay-as-you-go assistance,
internal funding, general obligation or revenue debt, or any other financing mechanism authorized by law. The City
also reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally applicable to the Project Area to pay for such costs
including, but not limited to, special assessments, utility revenues, federal or state funds, and investment income.

The County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. This value will be equal to the total net
tax capacity of all property in the TIF District as certified by the State Commissioner of Revenue. For districts certified
between January 1 and June 30, inclusive, this value is based on the previous assessment year. For districts
certified between July 1 and December 31, inclusive, this value is based on the current assessment year.
The Estimated Market Value of all property within the TIF District as of January 2, 2013, for taxes payable in 2014, is
$2,060,500, and the property is classified as exempt. Upon establishment of the TIF District, and the conversion of
the property to a taxable rental classification it is estimated that the original net tax capacity of the TIF District will be
approximately $24,875, based on an EMV of $1,990,000 which is the anticipated sale price of the property to the
Developer.
Each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount that the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased as
a result of:
(1) changes in the tax-exempt status of property;
(2) reductions or enlargements of the geographic area of the TIF District;
(3) changes due to stipulation agreements or abatements; or
(4) changes in property classification rates.

The County Auditor shall also certify the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District. This rate shall be the sum of all
local tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District. This rate shall be for the same taxes payable year as the
original net tax capacity.
In future years, the amount of tax increment generated by the TIF District will be calculated using the lesser of (a) the
sum of the current local tax rates at that time or (b) the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District.
At the time this document was prepared, the sum of all local tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District, for
taxes levied in 2013 and payable in 2014, was not yet available. When this total becomes available, the County
Auditor shall certify this amount as the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District. For purposes of estimating the tax
increment generated by the TIF District, the final local tax rates for taxes levied in 2012 and payable in 2013, is
119.778% as shown below.

The City anticipates that approximately 50% of phase 1 will be completed by December 31, 2014, creating a total tax
capacity for TIF District No. 1-14 of $90,500 as of January 2, 2015. The captured tax capacity as of that date is
estimated to be $65,625 and the first year of tax increment is estimated to be $103,439 payable in 2016. The City
anticipates both phases of the project will be 100% completed by December 31, 2015, creating a total tax capacity of
$219,125 as of January 2, 2016; resulting in the first full increment amount of $306,181 generated in payable 2017. A
complete schedule of estimated increment from the TIF District is shown in Exhibit III.
The estimates shown in this TIF Plan assume that the housing development will be designated as rental property, and
that the class rate will be 1.25%, and assumes no annual increases in market values.
Each year the County Auditor shall determine the current net tax capacity of all property in the TIF District. To the
extent that this total exceeds the original net tax capacity, the difference shall be known as the captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District.
The County Auditor shall certify to the City the amount of captured net tax capacity each year. The City may choose
to retain any or all of this amount. It is the City’s intention to retain 100% of the captured net tax capacity of the TIF
District. Such amount shall be known as the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
Exhibit II gives a listing of the various information and assumptions used in preparing a number of the exhibits
contained in this TIF Plan, including Exhibit III which shows the projected tax increment generated over the
anticipated life of the TIF District.

Each year the County Treasurer shall deduct 0.36% of the annual tax increment generated by the TIF District and pay
such amount to the State's General Fund. Such amounts will be appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost of
financial reporting and auditing of tax increment financing information throughout the state. Exhibit III shows the
projected deduction for this purpose over the anticipated life of the TIF District.
The City has determined that it will use 100% of the remaining tax increment generated by the TIF District for any of
the following purposes:
(1) Pay for the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section K) and County administrative
costs associated with the TIF District (see Section T);
(2) pay principal and interest on tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to finance the estimated
public costs of the TIF District;
(3) accumulate a reserve securing the payment of tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to
finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District;
(4) pay all or a portion of the county road costs as may be required by the County Board under M.S.
Section 469.175, Subdivision 1a; or
(5) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School
District.
Tax increments from property located in one county must be expended for the direct and primary benefit of a project
located within that county, unless both county boards involved waive this requirement. Tax increments shall not be
used to circumvent levy limitations applicable to the City.
Tax increment shall not be used to finance the acquisition, construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a
building to be used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a municipality, county, school district, or any
other local unit of government or the State or federal government, or for a commons area used as a public park, or a
facility used for social, recreational, or conference purposes. This prohibition does not apply to the construction or
renovation of a parking structure or of a privately owned facility for conference purposes.
7IGXMSR6)\GIWW8E\-RGVIQIRX
In any year in which the tax increments from the TIF District exceed the amount necessary to pay the estimated
public costs authorized by the TIF Plan, the City shall use the excess tax increments to:
(1) prepay any outstanding tax increment bonds;
(2) discharge the pledge of tax increments thereof;
(3) pay amounts into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of the tax increment bonds; or
(4) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School
District. The County Auditor must report to the Commissioner of Education the amount of any
excess tax increment redistributed to the School District within 30 days of such redistribution.

As permitted under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.1763, subdivision 2(b) and subdivision 3(a)(5), any expenditures
of increment from the TIF District to pay the cost of a “housing project” as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, subd. 11 will be treated as an expenditure within the district for the purposes of the “pooling rules” and the

“five year rule”. The City does not currently anticipate that tax increments will be spent outside the TIF District
(except allowable administrative expenses), but such expenditures are expressly authorized in this TIF Plan.
7IGXMSR80MQMXEXMSRSR%HQMRMWXVEXMZI)\TIRWIW
Administrative expenses are defined as all costs of the City other than:
(1) amounts paid for the purchase of land;
(2) amounts paid for materials and services, including architectural and engineering services directly
connected with the proposed development within the TIF District;
(3) relocation benefits paid to, or services provided for, persons or businesses residing or located
within the TIF District; or
(4) amounts used to pay interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a discount, tax increment bonds.
Administrative expenses include amounts paid for services provided by bond counsel, fiscal consultants, planning or
economic development consultants, and actual costs incurred by the County in administering the TIF District. Tax
increments may be used to pay administrative expenses of the TIF District up to the lesser of (a) 10% of the total
estimated tax increment expenditures authorized by the TIF Plan or (b) 10% of the total tax increment for the project.

If after four years from certification of the TIF District no demolition, rehabilitation, renovation, or qualified
improvement of an adjacent street has commenced on a parcel located within the TIF District, then that parcel shall
be excluded from the TIF District and the original net tax capacity shall be adjusted accordingly. Qualified
improvements of a street are limited to construction or opening of a new street, relocation of a street, or substantial
reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street. The City must submit to the County Auditor, by February 1 of the
fifth year, evidence that the required activity has taken place for each parcel in the TIF District.
If a parcel is excluded from the TIF District and the City or owner of the parcel subsequently commences any of the
above activities, the City shall certify to the County Auditor that such activity has commenced and the parcel shall
once again be included in the TIF District. The County Auditor shall certify the net tax capacity of the parcel, as most
recently certified by the Commissioner of Revenue, and add such amount to the original net tax capacity of the TIF
District.

Exhibit IV shows the estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions if the maximum projected retained captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to the other taxing jurisdictions. The City believes that there
will be no adverse impact on other taxing jurisdictions during the life of the TIF District, since the proposed
development would not have occurred without the establishment of the TIF District and the provision of public
assistance. A positive impact on other taxing jurisdictions will occur when the TIF District is decertified and the
development therein becomes part of the general tax base.
The fiscal and economic implications of the proposed tax increment financing district, as pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 2, are listed below.
1.The total maximum amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the District is estimated to
be $7,730,042.

2.To the extent the housing project in the proposed TIF District generates any public cost impacts on City-
provided services such as police and fire protection, public infrastructure, and borrowing costs attributable to
the District, such costs will be levied upon the taxable net tax capacity of the City, excluding that portion
captured by the District.
3.The maximum amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to School
District levies, assuming the School District’s share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions
remained the same, is estimated to be $1,584,942.
4.The maximum amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to County
levies, assuming the County’s share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same is
estimated to be $3,211,031.
5.No additional information has been requested by the County or School District.

The City shall accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor (or notice of district enlargement), with a
listing of all properties within the TIF District for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months
immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of the
TIF District by the net tax capacity of each improvement for which a building permit was issued.
There have been no building permits issued in the last 18 months in conjunction with any of the properties within the
TIF District.

If within a project containing a housing district, more than 10% of the acreage of the property to be acquired by the
City is purchased with tax increment bonds proceeds (to which tax increment from the property is pledged), then prior
to such acquisition, the City must enter into an agreement for the development of the property. Such agreement must
provide recourse for the City should the development not be completed.
The City anticipates entering into an agreement for development, but does not anticipate acquiring any property
located within the TIF District.
7IGXMSR=%WWIWWQIRX%KVIIQIRXW
The City may, upon entering into a development agreement, also enter into an assessment agreement with the
developer, which establishes a minimum market value of the land and improvements for each year during the life of
the TIF District.
The assessment agreement shall be presented to the County or City Assessor who shall review the plans and
specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land, and
so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears to be an accurate estimate,
shall certify the assessment agreement as reasonable. The assessment agreement shall be filed for record in the
office of the County Recorder of each county where the property is located. Any modification or premature
termination of this agreement must first be approved by the City, County and School District.
The City does anticipate entering into an assessment agreement.

Any reduction or enlargement in the geographic area of the Project Area or the TIF District; increase in the amount of
bonded indebtedness to be incurred; increase in the amount of capitalized interest; increase in that portion of the
captured net tax capacity to be retained by the City; increase in the total estimated public costs; or designation of
additional property to be acquired by the City shall be approved only after satisfying all the necessary requirements
for approval of the original TIF Plan. This paragraph does not apply if:
(1) the only modification is elimination of parcels from the TIF District; and
(2) the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of
those parcels in the TIF District's original net tax capacity, or the City agrees that the TIF District's
original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the parcels
eliminated.
The City must notify the County Auditor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the geographic area of the TIF
District. The geographic area of the TIF District may be reduced but not enlarged after five years following the date of
certification.

Upon adoption of the TIF Plan, the City shall submit a copy of such plan to the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
The City shall also request that the County Auditor certify the original net tax capacity and net tax capacity rate of the
TIF District. To assist the County Auditor in this process, the City shall submit copies of the TIF Plan, the resolution
establishing the TIF District and adopting the TIF Plan, and a listing of any prior planned improvements. The City
shall also send the County Assessor any assessment agreement establishing the minimum market value of land and
improvements in the TIF District, and shall request that the County Assessor review and certify this assessment
agreement as reasonable.
The County shall distribute to the City the amount of tax increment as it becomes available. The amount of tax
increment in any year represents the applicable property taxes generated by the retained captured net tax capacity of
the TIF District. The amount of tax increment may change due to development anticipated by the TIF Plan, other
development, inflation of property values, or changes in property classification rates or formulas. In administering and
implementing the TIF Plan, the following actions should occur on an annual basis:
(1) prior to July 1, the City shall notify the County Assessor of any new development that has occurred
in the TIF District during the past year to insure that the new value will be recorded in a timely
manner.
(2) if the County Auditor receives the request for certification of a new TIF District, or for modification of
an existing TIF District, before July 1, the request shall be recognized in determining local tax rates
for the current and subsequent levy years. Requests received on or after July 1 shall be used to
determine local tax rates in subsequent years.
(3) each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount of the original net tax capacity of the TIF
District. The amount certified shall reflect any changes that occur as a result of the following:
(a) the value of property that changes from tax-exempt to taxable shall be added to the
original net tax capacity of the TIF District. The reverse shall also apply;
(b) the original net tax capacity may be modified by any approved enlargement or reduction of
the TIF District;
(c) if laws governing the classification of real property cause changes to the percentage of
estimated market value to be applied for property tax purposes, then the resulting increase
or decrease in net tax capacity shall be applied proportionately to the original net tax
capacity and the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
