A. Variance (Parking) Spartan Specialties
Al Hoenwald and Don Nygard of Spartan Specialties were present at the
meeting and indicated they had read the staff report.
Secretary Ekstrand informed the Board and the applicants of the
comments received from the State of Minnesota.
Mr. Hoenwald explained that by moving the semi this would provide
approximately 2 additional spaces.
The Board explained to the applicant the reason for establishing
minimun number of parking stalls for a site. Even though a business
that is presently located at the site does not need the parking required
by code, a future tenant may require them.
Secretary Ekstrand indicated this proposal is to be heard by the
City Council on February 28.
Board Member Folley moved the Board recommend to the City Council
approval of the resolution denying the warehouse addition and the variance
of one parking space for Spartan Specialties, based on the findings that:
1. Strict enforcement of the ordinance would not cause undue hardship.
The property is presently being put to a reasonable use as allowed by
official controls . Furthermore, the need for the variance, in this case,
would be created by the landowner and not due to circumstances unique to
the property.
2. The variance would not be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance
since:
a. The maneuverability of cars on the site would be difficult, if not
hazardous.
b. The city's parking lot design standards would not be met.
c. There is a potential for a future parking variance if a portion of the
proposed addition would later become office space.
d. There is no loading /unloading area with proper access.
Board Member Hedlund seconded Ayes - -all.

6. DESIGN REVIEW
A. Plan Review for ISA Communications Services, Inc.
Carl Greenway of ISACOMM and Richard Hanson of Boemer Builders were
present at the meeting. They have a verbal agreement with the owners of
the service station to the south for additional parking space.
The Board questioned if the applicants could purchase additional land
to provide the required parking.
Mr. Greenway said the property owner to the north has proposed to
construct their own building. When the property was purchased for
their facility, this was all they could buy. There is not other land
available.
The Board questioned what the addition was for.
Mr. Greenway said it will house additional equipment required for
their operation.
Secretary Ekstrand said the code really does not specify the number
of parking spaces required for this type of use, however, he would not
like to see less than the seven spaces presently provided. One of the
main concerns would be if the building would be sold and another type
of use would go into the building. A parking problem could result.
The Board and the applicant discussed the requirement of having
one handicapped parking stall. Because of the use of the building,
and the facilities inside, it would not be necessary to have a
handicapped stall.
Board Member Hedlund moved the Board recommend approval of the
addition and site plan subject to the following conditions:
1. Site security lighting shall be provided which is screened to prevent
glare.
2. The exterior materials of the new addition shall match the existing
building.
3. The parking lot shall have continuous concrete curbing and be striped.
4. Trash cans shall be kept inside or behind the building.
5. The drainage plan shall be approved by the City Engineer.
6. The applicant shall provide a hedge across the front of the property
which is at least 80% opaque and at least four feet tall upon planting.
The hedge is subject to staff approval. The hedge shall be planted to
allow clear visibility for drivers leaving the site.
7. Approval of plans by the Board does not constitute approval of a building
permit.
8. All required landscaping that dies shall be replaced by the applicant.
9. If landscaping is not installed by occupancy, the applicant shall
provide an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of 150% of the
estimated cost of the landscaping.
Board Member Deans seconded Ayes - -all.

A. Zuercher Well Drilling - -Metal Building Variance
Andy Zuercher, owner of the Zuercher Well Drilling, said he is not sure
if the complete roof line of the building will be hid from Highway 61. He
thought possibly 3 to 4 feet may be seen. He indicated the roof will be
white, and the walls will be gold. The building is proposed to be used
for storage.
A
Board Member Folley moved the Board recommend to the City Council
approval of a variance for the construction of a metal pole building at
Zuercher Well Drilling, 2483 Highway 61, based on the findings that:
1. The variance would meet the spirit and intent of the ordinance since
the proposed building would be concealed behind the existing buildings
and not in view from the highway.
2. The proposed building would be compatible with the area and would not
impact adjacent development.
Board Member Hedlund seconded Ayes - -all.
B. Midas Realty Corporation -- County Road D
Glenn Davey, Midas Realty Corporation, presented a color rendering of
the proposed building which also showed the landscaping location and parking
area. He said they would like the best exposure possible for the building,
that is the reason they placed the building closer to the front property
line.
Staff indicated most commercial developments have been asked to
maintain a minimum of a 30 foot front setback.
Mr. Davey asked what additional landscaping the Board wished to have
installed along the front property line. He comment on what types of
plantings they propose. The building will be finished on all sides.
They are proposing to do some filling on the back portion of the property
to raise the asphalt to pitch the run -off water to the catch basin.
The Board discussed with the applicant use of concrete curbing
that is not continuous. The Board indicated they generally request
the continuous concrete curbing on all sides of the parking lot and
drives.
The applicant also indicated they normally do not install lighting
on a site, however, if the Board desires they will install some security
lighting. The only item they have on the roof is for the air conditioning.
They will provide some type of screening.
Board Member Hedlund moved the Board recommend approval of the of plans
date- staml?ed_3 -7 -83 for Midas Muffler, subject,to the following conditions
1. Approval by the Board does not constitute approval of a building permit.
2. The applicant shall provide an erosion control plan to be approved by
staff, for erosion prevention during construction.
3. All signs are to be approved by staff.
4. Continuous concrete curbing shall be provided around the entire parking
lot.
5. The building, trash enclosure and parking spaces north of the building
shall be shifted fifteen feet to the north to provide a thirty -foot
setback.

parking spaces to the north. Continuous concrete curbing must also be
provided around the perimeter of the new parking.
7. All exterior building equipment or roof -top equipment shall be screened

Board Member Moe seconded Ayes- -all.
C. Sign Code -- Ordinance Amendment
The Board reviewed with staff the proposed ordinance amendment to
permit signage for institutions in residential areas and also to increase
the size of the sign permitted for multiple - dwelling signs. The Board
indicated they felt the sign size permitted for multiple dwellings is
sufficient.
The Board made various recommended changes to the memorandum and
proposed ordinance which would eliminate a change to the signs for
multiple dwellings. No requests have been made to warrant a change
to the ordinance.
The Board tabled this item, requesting staff make the necessary
revisions and submit it to them at a future meeting.

no questions.
Board Member Deans ved,. he Board recommend approval of the proposed__

Board Member Folley seconded Ayes - -3
Abstained - -1 (Hedlund)
Chairman Moe asked if there wat anyone present who wished to comment on
this proposal.
Karold Kringle, 2688 E. Minnehaha, said he has water problems at the
present time. With the driveway along his east boundary line he thought
the property would be sloped so it drains on his property.
Mr. Gervais indicated the driveway would be sloped towards the street.
Mr. Kringle said if the building is constructed at one foot higher
he would have a problem with drainage. He indicated the additional traffic
would also be disturbing.
Mr. Gervais indicated the driveway would be sloped away from the adjacent
property. He also said the snow would be pushed away from that property
line.
Mr. Kringle said there would be too many cars, and too many people at
the site.
Jerry Erickson, 2770 E. Minnehaha, asked what would be done with the
existing swamp behind the stand of trees. This swamp developed when
McDonald's was constructed.
Mr. Gervais said apparently additional grading has to be . done on the
McDonald's property to correct this situation. He would not change that
portion of the property.
Jim Daley, 2697 Margaret, discussed the existing drainage of the
area and drainage plan for Maplewood. He said someone has blocked
the natural flow of the water and it is staying in the back of this
lot.
John Moritz, 2708 E. Minnehaha Avenue, when McDonalds developed the
swamp was moved from Minnehaha and Century to Century and Margaret. His
back yard had to be filled as they filled the McDonald property. When
his property was filled, it stopped the natural drainage. He suggested
raising the level of Mr. Gervais' property to encourage the natural
drainage into the ponding area. He requested a fence be installed in back.
The Surrounding property owners discussed with the Board and the
applicant the drainage of the area, the problem with pedestrians using
the property to go to the convenience center and McDonalds.

shall be constructed on three sides with break -off block, face brick,
or masonry. A gate that provides 100 percent opaqueness shall be provided
where a dumpster would be visible to the public or from an adjoining
property.
5. The grading, drainage and utility plans shall be subject to the City
Engineer's Approval. The plan is to provide depressing the driveway
relative to the 15 foot strip of land to the west and provide for
a slope necessary to drain the driveway water towards the street.
6. Floor area requirements shall be met.
7. Parking directly in front of the garage doors shall be prohibited.
8. An erosion control plan for the construction period shall be provided
prior to issuance of a building permit.

Board Member Folley seconded Ayes - -all.
B. Rolling Hills Trailer Park (Landscaping)
Tom Dunwell, Buetow and Associates, said he did review the staff report.
They cannot guarantee that the lots along Century and Ivy will develop first.
At a previous meeting they had discussed 50 foot spacing along Century and
Ivy along with some additional plantings with the trees. They discussed
the spacing of the trees with the City Council. It was felt 50 feet or
more would be acceptable as there are trees also on the interior streets.
The plan shows the major trees at 100 feet on center along Century and
Ivy. In addition, each lot has a tree on it. With the landscaping lan
y a
they propose, he thought it would be very aesthetically p
trees will be approximately 15 to 18 feet high, 2 1 /2inchcaliper.TheThey
propose to use colorful shrubs along the berm area.
The Board discussed with the applicant when the landscaping will be
installed. The applicant indicated the plantings and berm along Century
and Ivy will be installed prior to the placing of the first house on the
site.
Ken Gervais, property owner to the south, indicated the plan does not
provide for storm water. It will all run onto his property.
Secretary Ekstrand indicated the run -off will have to be approved
by the City Engineer for both project.
The Board indicated this review is for just landscaping, the development
was reviewed at a previous meeting.
Board Member Hedlund moved the Board recommend approval of the landscaping
plan date stamped 3 -221 -83 for the Rolling Hills of Maplewood trailer Park,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Provisions of continuous three foot tall berms to run the length of

2. All trees shall be at least 2 1/2 inch B and B.
3. The berms, sod and plantings along Century and Ivy Avenues shall be

into a residential neighborhood, does not look like a fourplex. He showed
a picture to the Board. He has no problem with the items listed in the
staff report.
The Board asked if the garage would be of similar construction.
Mr. Gervais said yes, the colors would be the same. However, the
siding on the garage would be masonite, whereas, the house would be
steel.
