The applicant questioned if there was an existing bike path in the

Plan, it is not constructed at this time in the area.
The applicant questioned if the bike path could be installed in the
future when the complete path is installed. He discussed with the Board
the additional landscaping suggested by Staff. They do have approval
from the Mall owner for access and utility connections. He discussed
the size of the parking stalls. He said they would like to have the
18 foot long stalls. The stalls were designed to have 18 feet of parking
space with a 2 foot overhang. The stalls are proposed to be 9 feet wide.

stall length.

Board Member Hedlund requested the following be added to the minutes:

the PUD the evening before. It was the Board consensus if the site were

5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Comprehensive Sign Plan - -St. John's
Wes Janz, said the proposal is for the first two elements of the
St. John Health Resource Center Facility. They are working with
the City to obtain permits for the phase I facility. There will be
three levels of signing, the two largest will be site identification
signs at the two corners of the sites, at Hazelwood and the other by
Kennard Street. The second level of signing will be the entrance
identification signs. The first phase will have two of these signs,
on off Kennard Street directing people into the facility and down
and to the other side of the building to the urgent care facility.
The other will direct to the entrance canopy of the building. He
described where they will be placing the directional signs.
Board Member Deans moved the Board recommend approval of the
comprehensive sign plan date - stamped 6 -1 -83 for the St. John's Health
Resources Campus, based on the following:
1. The sign areas and densities for the plan are in conformance with
the intent of the code.
2. The sign plan results in an improved relationship .petween various
parts of the plan.
Approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. All signs and sign locations are approved as proposed.
2. Additional building signs for the hospital and future buildings shall
match the design and color of the signs proposed for the first building.
Sign sizes shall comply with the allowable square footage permitted by
the Sign Ordinance.
3. The total number of signs to be allowed on the hospital and future
buildings shall be subject to staff approval. If the Director of
Community Development finds that the number of proposed building signs
would be excessive for the building and the intent of the ordinance
would not be met, the applicant may apply to the Community Design
Review Board for approval of a sign plan amendment.
4. Any reasonable changes to parking lot signage and directional signs
shall be approved by the Director of Community Development.
Board Member Hedlund seconded Ayes - -all.
B. Amusement City Curbing
Secretary Ekstrand indicated the applicant has said the parking lot is
still settling and therefore would request the Board approve the installation
of timbers for curbing rather than the continuous curbing requested by the
Board. The applicant indicated he could not afford to install the concrete.
Staff is recommending the Board amend their previous motion and permit
timber curbs.
2 6 -14 -83
There was a concensus of the Board not to approve the requested revision.
Also, this may set a precedent with other developments. However, they
would be willing to approve the concrete sectional curbing.
No motion required as the sectional curbing was an option in the
original recommendation.
6. DESIGN REVIEW
A. Forest Lawn Office Addition
Art Ready, manager of Forest Lawn, introduced his contractor. The
building is located along the railroad tracks, it will be remodeled and
an addition put on. The building will have a brick exterior with the
addition matching the existing.
The Board questioned if there would be landscaping provided for the
building.
Board Member Hedlund moved the Board accept the proposal for building
and site plan for Forest Lawn Office addition dated 6- 14 -83, subject to
the applicant submitting and staff reviewing and approving a. landscaping
plan.

6. DESIGN REVIEW
A. Schroeder Milk -- Freezer Addition
Farrel Johnson of Buetow and Associates was present representing
Schroeder Milk. Mr. Johnson said this freezer is a first phase of an
overall addition plan. In approximately 2 to 3 years a more extensive
addition is proposed. This expansion will go to the south which will
encroach upon the suggested landscaping. They will agree to do the
landscaping at the proper time. He said the weeds that have to be
cut are actually on County property, however, the owners will maintain
them from now on. Also, they request approval not to have to construct
the trash enclosure as it would be a waste of materials.
6 -28 -83
The Board discussed with the applicant the landscaping required with
previous additions and questioned when this work would be completed. They
further reviewed the additions that were approved for the company.
Secretary Ekstrand indicated that code does require the trash be
enclosed, however, it is not visible from Rice Street.
Chairman Moe asked if there was anyone else present who wished to
comment.
Board Member Hedlund moved the Board recommend approval of plans dated
6 -14 -83 for the 26 by 68 foot freezer addition to Schroeder Milk, subject
to:
1. Council waiving the construction moratorium for the applicant.
2. Prior to the issuance of a building permit conditions 4 and 5 shall be
complied with.
3. Approval of plans by the Board does not constitute approval of a building
permit.
4. The existing paved parking lot shall be striped.
5. Directional arrows shall be provided at entrances as shown on the
site plan date stamped 7- 17 -81.
6. The weeds on the street at the north side of the parking lot shall be
cut and continually cut as needed.
7. If construction has not begun within two years of approval, Board review
would have to be repeated.
8. The drainage plan shall be subject to the approval of the City
Engineer.
Board Member Deans seconded Ayes - -all.
B. Super Value Store, Inc. - -Cub Supermarket
Don Pollard, Cub Foods, said they are requesting approval of the request,
subject to meeting the requirements outlined in recommendation #2.
The Board discussed whether there should be discussion by the Board at this
time until the water situation has been solved.
Mr. Pollard said there is extensive site work to be done on the site, and
they are anxious to get started.
Secretary Ekstrand indicated that staff would like to amend the conditions,
they are not recommending the water mora lrium be waived for this proposal.
They would rather state that approval be contingent upon water being made
available to the site.
2 h -2R_R1
Mr. Pollard indicated it has been arranged to use water from Little Canada.
Dave Pillatzke, Assistant City Engineer, indicated they have been
investigating the options available to the City to provide municipal water
to this portion of Maplewood. The City has its own system, Roseville has
its own system and also Little Canada also has a system near this site.
The Little Canada system would provide the pressures required for this
type of facility. He further explained the timing involved in a water
improvement, the procedures that could be followed to permit the
applicant to begin construction. The Council would have to order the
improvement before any building construction could be considered.
Chairman Moe asked if there was anyone present who wished to comment
on the proposal.
The applicant indicated they will be working with the Soil Conservation
District and complying with their regulations.
The Board requested the applicant comment on the traffic situation.
Mr. VanWarmer said when they initially contacted MnDOT concerning the
intersection of B and Rice they did say there were concerns with this
intersection, but they are considered low priority. Traffic counts
were done on cars exiting from the Little Canada store. From this
traffic count, it was determine that the majority of the traffic will
leave the new store, turn right on Rice and then proceed to Highway 36.
There is a proposal to install a signal light at County Road B and
Rice and coordinate that light with the lights at Highway 36 and Rice
Street. They will be willing to work with the State.
The applicant indicated the new facility will provide approximately
twice as many parking spaces, along with a larger store, and provide
better services.
The Board questioned what type of landscaping was proposed for the
site.
Mr. Wilson said they had planned on working with the City on the
landscaping plan once the site plan has been approved. They propose
to do landscaping similar to the Brooklyn Park store. There is a lot
of ground cover.
Secretary Ekstrand presented pictures to the Board of the landscaping
at the Brooklyn Park store.
The Board questioned what the exterior of the building would look like.
The applicant presented a color rendition of the proposed building, it
will be similar to the structure constructed at Blaine. The color scheme
will be the same.
The Board questioned if a lot of grading was proposed for the site.
3 6 -28 -83
The applicant indicated the site would be somewhat lower than the
intersection of Rice and B. The retaining wall be removed from the
service station. The applicant indicated there is a slew at the
east end of the property. There is grading being done in this area.
They will retain as many of the trees as possible. The grading will
put the building approximately 12 feet above Rice Street and about
level with County Road B.
An attorney representing Ken Swanlenbach, 2129 Rice Street, said
there is no DOT report, no Ramsey County Soil Water Department Report,and
does the proposal comply with the Environmental Protection Ordinance.
County Road B and Rice is a high accident area, this facility will produce
added traffic at this intersection. There is a substantial number of
single family homes across Rice street from where this store is proposed.
He thought the Board should wait to act until all reports are received
from the various governmental agencies. He commented on where lights will
have to be installed to control traffic for this facility. These lights
will have to be coordinated to have a smooth traffic flow. He is
concerned that the lights from the cars leaving the proposed Cub site,
will shine into the homes on the west side of Rice Street.
The Board discussed whether they should make a recommendation at this
time or wait until all reports are received.
The attorney indicated there is a problem with residents trying to
back onto Rice to leave their property. A traffic light will further
back up traffic on Rice.
Board Member Deans moved the Board table the proposed Cub Foods Store until:
1. It has been determined if and how public water would be provided.
2. MnDOT and Ramsey County have completed their review.
3. Environmental effects have been determined.
Motion fails for lack of second.
Board Member Hedlund moved the Board recommend approval of the plans for
Cub Foods date stamped 6 -1 -83, with the following conditions:
1. Approval shall be contingent upon the developer obtaining City water.
2. Approval of the plans by the Board does not constitute approval of a
building permit.

A. Paulco, Inc. -- Industrial Building
Bill Brisley, architect and Tom Paul, owner were both present at the
meeting. They indicated they had thought of installing bituminous curbing
in back of the building and the concrete curbing in the front and asked if
that would be acceptable.
The Board indicated that in the past they have required the concrete
as the bituminous does not hold up.
Staff indicated the only other option the Board has approved has been
the precast sectional curbs which are interlocking. They do have to be
installed by a contractor that is experienced in the installation.
The Board questioned if the existing dwelling was going to remain and
if it would continue to be used as a residence.
Secretary Ekstrand said it was his understanding it would be used by
the company as a temporary sleeping area for drivers.
The applicant indicated they are in the construction business and
frequently bring in out -of -town employees and would hope to set up some
type of temporary residence for these people. In the new building they
will have offices, storage of equipment and light manufacturing of
products they need for their business.
The Board questioned what materials they would be blending on the
site.
The applicant indicated said they would be nontoxic, nonflammable
materials. There would be no emissions of any nature from the blending
process.
The Board discussed with the applicant future access to the site from
Highway 61.
Chairman Moe asked if there was anyone present who wished to comment.
Gary Cook, owner of the property to the south, said the state has
condemned property in front of his lot and in front of Angus Meats, he
was required to construct his building setback from Highway 61.

B. Century Center -- Revisions
Mr. Richard Ernst was present at the meeting. He said they wish to use
the east elevation, Alternate A which provides for no overhang on the south
side of the building. He thought it was architecturally pleasing.
Secretary Ekstrand said Alternate A would have to meet building Code
requirements. This would require a one -hour rated parapet across the rear
of the building. The applicant indicated Alternate A could be constructed
to meet building codes. If the building official determines the parapet
would have to be constructed, staff recommends the building be redesigned
in some fashion to eliminateit from Alternate B
The applicant indicated their architect has informed them they can provide
a two -hour fire rating on that wall by providing two layers one -hour sheetrock
on the inside of the building.
The Board discussed with the applicant and staff the distance to the
property line the building will be constructed and how close the adjoining
property owner could build to his property line.
The Board and the applicant reviewed the
for the building. Also, discussed the size of rthesparkingrstallsmasepreviously
approved by the Board.
Secretary Ekstrand indicated no landscaping is proposed in front and he
thought something should be installed for beautification. He suggested the
transformer also he screened. He further commented on the plan that was presented.
The applicant said he would be willing to work with staff to develop a
landscaping plan.
John Morris, property owner to the west, said he has not problem with a
fence next to the property line. It will help to eliminate the foot traffic
from 3M to McDonalds. The adjoining property owner to him is also requesting
the fence be extended to help regulate this foot traffic.
The Board discussed with the applicant his proposal for snow removal from
the site and also where the snow would be stored. The Board also suggested
a two foot over hang be constructed on the building. This may give a better
appearance.
Secretary Ekstrand said there would have to be an adequate setback to
construct an overhang.
The applicant said he did install the pond and would like to construct
his center. As he sees it there is two questions, one regards the exterior
of the roof line. The suggestion he made meets code requirements. The
second question has to do with parking size. He will provide a 20 foot
long space, allowing for cub overhang. Based on that he thought it warranted
approval. He will work with staff to install additional landscaping in front.
The Board questioned what type of signing was proposed.
The applicant said there would be an individual
panel
He said the drawings would be presented to the Board laterfor each tenant.
Board Member Rossbach moved approval of alternate A on the revised building

6. DESIGN REVIEW
A. Health Resources, Inc. -- Hazelwood Avenue
Fred Hoisington developer for HRI was present at the meeting. Mr.
Johnson,who is the archect,was also present. They indicated the landscaping
by staff is twice as much as what was proposed by them. They do not
agree with the installation of the evergreen trees west of the proposed
building. He did not think they were necessary. They intend to grade
around the existing trees and maintain them for screening. He felt
the groupings or clusters of trees would not have to have the 2 1/2
inch caliper.
Secretary Ekstrand said the reason he requested landscaping along
the south side of the building and the southerly property line is because
it is completely open and highly visible for quite a distance.
Mr. Hoisington said they do not disagree that the trail should be
constructed, however, they do not know where and when the city trail
will be constructed. If the City does not construct their trail,
the one requested would not be of use and serve no benefit to the residents
of the building.
Secretary Ekstrand indicated the Park Director does not know when
the trail will be installed. If HRI is not going to install their
trail at this time, the city would like some guarantee that it will be
installed once the City trail is.
The Board suggested the applicant be required to install his trail
if the city requires it and the applicant should also make this agreement
with the cooperative.
The Board suggested the applicant and the builder of the cooperative
be careful during the construction stage to not damage the existing
vegetation on the site. There are some rather large trees that should
be preserved.
The applicant indicated the garages will be constructed under the
units. The buildings were designed to have a residential character.
The building will have partial brick and partial brick siding.

F. Share Clinic
Greg Bradbury representing Share Clinic was present at the meeting.
Secretary Ekstrand said the adjoining property owners were not notified
of this meeting and proposal because of the application being received so
late.
Mr. Bradbury said this building is to be constructed west of the
Hirschfield building on Beam Avenue. He said the proposal does meet
the codes of Maplewood. They are providing sufficient parking spaces
for the site. They are asking for permission to do the site grading
and install the foundation. They would return later with the complete
design plans, which would be reviewed by staff, prior to the next
Board meeting.
The Board indicated concern that adjoining property owners are not
aware of the proposal. They would like comments from them.
Secretary Ekstrand indicated that the setback will be met for
landscaping and screening across the rear of the lot.
The Board questioned why more parking spaces are being provided than
required by Code.
Mr. Bradbury indicated that typically a medical building requires
more parking. The added spaces are just a precaution.
The Board questioned where the site would drain to.
Mr. Bradbury said it would drain into Beam Avenue.
Secretary Ekstrand said the drainage has not been reviewed. It will
have to be collected on site in catch basins and piped through the storm
sewer in Beam Avenue.

B. Somerset Ridge
David Briggs, Woodmark, Inc., was present at the meeting.
Secretary Ekstrand reviewed the revisions to conditions 11 and 12 as
outlined by staff.
4 8 -23 -83
Mr. Briggs questioned if the question of sharing the costs of the
lift station would have to be settled before the Board could act on
the proposal. They would like an opportunity to review the impact
on their proposal prior to deciding if they will share in the cost.
The Board questioned what would be done to preserve the existing
vegetation.
Mr. Briggs said they want to leave the basic shape of the land the
way it is. The far side of the pond, at this time, is not proposed
for development. They have reviewed what trees can be saved on the
site.
The Board also indicated concern as to how close the buildings
will be to the single dwellings along Parkway Drive.
Mr. Briggs said they are meeting all of the setback requirements.
The buildings will have 8 units, be of traditional English manor
style.
Chairman Moe asked if anyone else wished to comment on the proposal.
Mary Merrick, 205 West Kenwood Drive, said he is not here to object,
however, he would prefer to be notified more in advance of a meeting
when it involves his property. He would like more time to look at the
plans and then make a decision. He asked if the Board could table this
request.
Vivian Johnson, Kenwood Drive, asked if a traffic study has been done
in this area. She thought a traffic problem could result from the added
units in the area.
The applicant indicated they had not done a study.
Ms. Johnson said they would like the property to remain as is. Can
the property hold as many units as proposed?
The Board said the Council addresses the number of units per acre
at the time the zoning is changed.
Mrs. Johnson asked if there would be children at the site and playground
equpment.
Mr. Briggs indicated the units are two bedroom, there could be children,
however, no playground equipment is being installed.

Richard Schreier, 2125 DeSoto, was present at the meeting representing
Arlington Properties. He indicated Tom Weiner was present representing
Cardinal Realty and Dennis Campbell representing Polar Construction.
They do wish to begin construction on two of the buildings shortly.
Mr. Weiner questioned why the chimneys on the optional fire .
places are suggested as brick.
Secretary Ekstrand said for aesthetic purposes.
Mr. Weiner said rather than the shakes they were thinking of a
vertical wood siding on the chimney. The fireplace is an option.
Chairman Moe asked if there was anyone present who wished to comment
on the proposal.
Mr. Weiner said they would prefer to replace the pine tree with a
landscape tree. They indicated it is hard to get a good pine tree.
They would like to put a shade tree closer to the decks.
The Board suggested that all units have the chimneys but use a

E. E. T. Hughes Multi- family Development
John Sauro was present representing Mr. Hughes. They would comply
with the recommendations of staff. Mr. Hughes indicated he would be
willing to add another material to the exterior of the building to give
them a better appearance. The flat- roofed buildings were designed that
way to give the same aesthetic appearance as the buildings from White
Bear Avenue. They can meet the square footage requirement of the code.
The Board questioned if the new site plan presented meets the setback
requirements of the code.
Mr. Sauro said he thought it did with the exception of one place.
It will meet the setback when constructed however.
Chairman Moe asked if anyone wished to comment on the proposal.
They requested the Board review the recommendations of staff.
The Board indicated they felt the eight plex should have the hip
style roof. They did not care for the flat roof. It was suggested
to table this item until new elevations are received and also some
alternative for the roof.
The Board asked if some of the existing trees would be saved.
Mr. Sauro said as many of the trees would be saved as possible and
also would comply with the Board's request to add trees.
9 8 -23 -83
The Board discussed with Secretary Ekstrand the traffic pattern for
the site. Ramsey County has indicated they do not wish to have the
traffic exit directly onto County Road B but would rather have the
development go via VanDyke Street to County Road B.
The surrounding property owners felt they tenants should have an
option to exit onto County Road B. They felt that would be too much
traffic on VanDyke.
Commissioner Hedlund moved the Board table this proposed multiple
dwelling development to give the applicant an opportunity to finalize
the site plan with proper measurements and work with staff on the
elevations of the buildings and the roof line and all concerns of
staffs.
Board Member Rovie seconded Ayes - -all.

requesting the Board to approve a plan that is somewhat reduced. The
screening and boulevard planting along Beam Avenue will be maintained.
Based on staff recommendations, he has added the height to the berm on
the north, they have added a foot to the south property line to give
better screening.
The Board discussed with the applicant the screening materials to be
used along the south property line.
Mrs. Jordan, the adjacent neighbor to the south, said she was not
able to come to the last meeting and was concerned about the drainage.
There is an existing problem from Sherwin Williams and does not want
it to get worse.
Mr. Lindberg said based on the site plan, more than half of the
property drains to the south into the storm sewer system. Approximately
78% to 80% of the drainage, will go into the storm sewer system. The
only amount that will drain to the south will be from the high point
of the berm.

C. E. T. Hughes -- Multi - family Development
Gene Hughes, president of Hughes Construction, indicated he had read
the staff report. He would have no problems with the suggested treatment
of the building. They have revised the plans to meet the minimum square
footage of the Maplewood Code.
The Board reviewed with the applicant the exterior finishes used on
existing complexes that were constructed by the applicant within the
twin city area.
The applicant indicated that approval has been given by the County
to give access onto County Road B. He also said the reason they use
the T -1 -11 exterior finish on the larger buildings is because if used
vertical it does cut down on the appearance of the length of the building.
He would accept the Board's recommendations for the exterior of the
buildings.
Fred Reichert, 2172 VanDyke Street, said he is not happy that the
eight -plex is being constructed across from him. He asked how close it
would be constructed to the street.
The Board indicated approximately 35 feet to the lot line.
Mr. Reichert asked what type of shrubbery is going around the building.
The Board indicated a landscape plan shows a 2 foot berm and then
plantings on top of that. Spruce are proposed.
3 9 -27 -83
Mr. Riechert said he hoped that the berm would be maintained and not let
grow up with weeds.
Mr. Hughes explained the maintenance package used for the development.
This is done on a yearly contract. They have been following this policy
for eight years and all contracts are renewed yearly.
Mr. Riechert said he thought a variety of siding on the buildings
would add to the appearance of the development. He also questioned
the extension of city water on VanDyke and if VanDyke would be upgraded.
He wished to have a nice quality job done on the development.
Connie Launderville, 2194 VanDyke, indicated concern with the density
of the project. She also discussed the extension of water and the charge
to the single - family residents for that water. She questioned if a
playground would be provided for the children from the development. This
would keep the children out of the streets.
Mr. Hughes said they have never been asked to provide this before.
He has no objections to providing it though. The land shown on the plan
is the left over land after determining what land could be used for each
building.
The Board suggested if the area is to be a play area, it should be
fenced on at least two sides. They suggested the applicant submit
what type of facilities could be provided when the Council reviews the
conditional use permit.
The Board also questioned what portion of the existing trees would
be saved. They suggested saving as many as possible.
Mr. Hughes said he had Seifert's Nursery do the landscape plan for
him.
The Board indicated they did not feel the use preserved and incorporated
the sites natural and scenic features.
Board Member Hedlund moved the Board deny approval of the site plan based
on the use would not preserve and incorporate the sites natural and scenic
features into the development design.
Board Member Rovie seconded Ayes -- Members Hedlund, Moe, Deans, Rovie

6. DESIGN REVIEW
A. Maplewood North Quad Homes -- Holloway and Beebe
John Sauro was present at the meeting and indicated he had reviewed
staff's recommendations. He indicated they have some updated grading
plans which staff may wish to address.
Secretary Ekstrand indicated that it appears the area to be graded
is an area where there are existing trees on the site.
Mr. Sauro indicated that any vegetation over 2 inches would graded
around.
The Board discussed with Secretary Ekstrand the location of the ponds
and their depth. Secretary Ekstrand indicated that the City Engineer
has been working with the applicant with reference to the drainage.
Board Member Hedlund moved the Board recommend approval of the
building elevations and site plan for the Maplewood North Quad Homes',
subject to the following conditions:
1. Approval of plans by the Board does not constitute approval of a
building permit.
2. If trash dumpsters are used, they shall be stored in masonry enclosures
with a 100% opaque wooden gate according to ordinance, and shall be
a color and material compatible with the building. Location and design
shall be subject to staff approval.
3. Any exterior building or roof -top equipment shall be decoratively
screened and hidden from view. The screening material is subject to
staff approval.
4. An erosion control plan, acceptable to the City Engineer, shall be sub-
mitted prior to the issuance of a building permit for erosion control
during construction.
5. If construction has not begun within two years of approval, Board review
shall be repeated.
6. Site security lighting shall be provided and shall be directed or shielded
so not to cause any undue glare onto adjacent properties or roadways.
7. If any adjacent property is disturbed or property irons removed due to
construction of the site, that property shall be restored and irons re-
placed by the applicant.
8. Grading, drainage and utility plans shall be subject to the City Engineer's
approval.
9. The applicant shall dedicate any easements for ponds, drainage ditches
and storm sewers that the City Engineer may require.
10. All driveways, with the exception of the main cul -de -sac, shall be at
least 20 feet wide.
11. No parking" signs shall be posted along both sides of all driveways,
except for the cul -de -sac.
12. The landscaping plan shall be revised as follows and resubmitted for
Board approval
a. Extend the westerly privacy fence and the six Norway pines 60 feet
more to the south to keep the pines off of the sewer easement.
b. All turf areas are to be sodded except for the holding ponds which
may be seeded.
c. The revised plan shall solve the problem of screening in the holding
pond areas, since the ponds will prevent saving the oak and poplar
groves.
d. The revised plan shall include additional trees along the southeasterly
lot line since the stand of poplars would not provide adequate screening.
e. The fence along the southeasterly lot line shall be replaced with
plantings. The six -foot fence would be in a four -foot deep Swale
and would be of no use for screening.
f. The foundation plantings, as shown on the 11 -29 -83 drawing are approved,
alterations may be approved by staff.
