He indicated the sign will be 44 inches off the ground. The adjoining property owner said he would be please to have the sign installed. It will give directions to people going to the site. Mr. Bachmeier indicated the sign would be constructed of the same block as the buildings were. There will be flood lights which will shine only on the sign. The letters will be dark brown. The sign will be seen from the freeway. Secretary Ekstrand suggested the applicant review the proposed location of lights with Ramsey County. Board Member Deans moved the Board recommend approval of the resolution to allow a nine foot side -yard setback variance for a business sign for the. St. Paul Business Center, on the basis that: 1. The variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance since there are no signs on the adjacent residential land which would create a sign clutter problem. 2. Strict enforcement would cause undue hardship since the approved access to the St. Paul Business Center is too narrow for setbacks to be met. 3. The proposed sign is well within the size limitations for this type of use. A business sign for this use could be as large as 150 square feet. The proposed sign would total 57.6 square feet. Board Member Folley seconded Ayes - -all. B.

They felt the recommended fence along the north property line would not provide the He felt vegetation would provide more privacy. propose to install adjacent to the fence do spread, therefore, to place them 10 feet on center would crowd the trees. They were also thinking of installing some additional spruce next to the garage area on the adjacent property. They are proposing 33 trees and 148 shrubs. He would prefer to install the spruce along the north property line as they would provide a dense privacy screen. Ray Fernow, said he is not pleased with the building, it is constructed above grade, fill was brought in. He is concerned with future problems that will result with drainage. The front of the property is approximately 14 feet higher than his. He wants the building landscaped so he cannot see it. The Board indicated they would like to further review the proposal and also what has been constructed on the property already. They were concerned with run -off onto adjacent property, whether the existing elevations are what is approved and receive input from the City Engineer.

Pearson Mobile Homes Tom Dunwell, Buetow and Associates, and Dick Pearson were present at the meeting. Mr. Dunwell indicated that they may not have the double wide trailers along Century Avenue, they may install the 14 by 60 foot, but will maintain the required setback. They have made the revisions to the plans as recommended by the Planning Commission. He suggested using a Marshal Ash for the boulevard trees spaces at more than 30 feet on center. He suggested 60 feet as that type of tree does grow wide at the crown. He indicated they will be providing a storm shelter for approximately 500 residents. Mr. Pearson said he intends to have 4 to 6 model homes on the site until the park is full. He wished to be able to use the office building for resale of existing units within the park. The Board discussed with the applicant the proposed location for the tree to be placed on each lot. Chairman Lydon asked if there was anyone present who wished to comment on the proposal. Carl Stephen, Oakdale resident, said his driveway is across from Ivy Street, was initially concerned with a mobile home park be installed across from his property, but realizes the City is trying to make sure it will look good. He further questioned how compatible a mobile home park is to single family residential property. Arnold Steiger, another Oakdale resident was also present at the meeting. He was also concerned with access to the site. Mr. Stephen asked what the purpose of the berm was, was it for safety or to be used for buffering. The applicant indicated the berm was to be used for screening and to buffer the noise from Century Avenue. Access to the site is to be from Ivy. The Board and the applicant discussed the landscaping of the berm. They also discussed whether the berm should be continuous or intermittant. The Board further discussed the proposed landscaping of the site.

Maplewood Dental Specialists -- Revised Landscaping Plan The Board reviewed the items that were outlined as concerns at the last meeting. Ray Fernow, indicated he had talked to the City Engineer who thought a swale would solve any drainage problems. He does not agree. He thought the Board should go out to the site a view it. The contractor has brought in approximately 6,000 yards of dirt. The building is above his grade and is approximately 17 feet from his property line. He thought a retaining wall would solve the problem. He thought it would have to be constructed of a reinforced concrete in order to have it hold the dirt back. When the blacktop is installed for the parking lot, it will produce more run -off to his property. Director of Public Works Haider said he and the assistant City Engineer feel there is sufficient room to install a depression along the back property line where the water would be channelled. Mr. Lawson, Class 2 Certified Building Inspector, said the roof of the building drains to the north, if the gutters are blocked by any leaves, ice, etc., the run -off will end up near the property line. He did not think there was room enough for the swale to be effective. Mr. Fernow indicated there had been dirt placed on his property and he wishes to have it removed. The Board discussed with Director Haider what type of retaining wall should be constructed, its length and height. The Board suggested drawings as the building exists and show the swale to see how it will work. They also indicated a special meeting could be held when the drawings are prepared. The meeting could be held at the site. Board Member Hedlund moved this item be tabled until drawings are_ submitted. A meeting will then be held at the site. Board Member Deans seconded Ayes- -all. 6. DESIGN REVIEW A. ° General Repair -- Building Addition Harold Carver said the addition is proposed to be 30 by 50 feet now.

Board Member Moe seconded Ayes - -all. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 6. DESIGN REVIEW A. Richard Ernst - Minnehaha and Century Avenue Richard Ernst, owner of the property at Minnehaha and Century Avenue, where the convenience center is to be located, p resented a letter to the Board which explained their request. McDonalds owns their portion of land and they have both exchanged parking easements. Being McDonalds building was reduced in size, they have enlarged the convenience center by about 800 square feet. There is adequate parking to accommodate the added space. He has discussed with his architect the construction of a wood frame building rather than the concrete block building. He indicated this would meet the energy requirements easier. They will be submitting to the Board a landscaping plan. He indicated they would present a landscaping plan 11 -9 -82 that the City would be proud of. He said it would be a rough sawn cedar siding on the building. He indicated it does give a good appearance. Secretary Ekstrand said he was concerned with what the building will look like with the cedar siding on a 210 foot long building. Mr. Ernst said one of the comments regarding the approval was to provide a better job of landscaping on the back side. Using the right kind of plantings, placed in the proper location would break up the long building. Secretary Ekstrand said something architecturally would break up the building. Mr. Ernst said they could do some accenting on the 210 foot long wall as McDonalds proposes to do. The front side will be store front window glass. It will be stained a natural cedar stain. Cedar shakes would be used on the roof. They propose a mansard only on the front side. The Board discussed with the applicant the color stain to the used on the building and mansard and possible extension of the mansard around the easterly end of the building. Secretary Ekstrand said he would prefer that specific plans be approved by the Board prior to issuance of a building permit. Mr. Ernst said that would be acceptable. Mr. Ernst said there is a 10 foot easement along the back of the building on which they will be installing landscaping. They will be planting on that bank. The Board questioned what type of control the City would have in regulating the type of tenant being that the construction is wood frame. Secretary Ekstrand indicated that the Building Official would be regulating the type of use for the building based on the type of construction. Mr. Ernst indicated the individual spaces would meet building code requirements. Proposed tenants are an insurance company, pizza take- out restaurant, beauty shop, printing company, amusement center, credit union. He indicated he would like to present a concept plan for the landscaping along the back of the building. He thought he could do more for breaking up the appearance of the building with planting than with architectural treatment on the building. This is a high visible site and he does wish to do a good job on the building. He also asked if he could construct a 6 foot wide sidewalk rather than installing the parking stall bumpers. They do present a problem for maintenance of the site. Secretary Ekstrand indicated this would result in a 17 foot deep stall in front of the building which is considerably less than the City has been enforcing.

The Board indicated they did not think there would be a traffic visibility problem with the installation of the sign. Board Member Deans moved the Board recommend approval of the sign variance for Trinity Baptist Church, based on the findings that: 1.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Maplewood Dental Specialists - -White Bear Avenue Chairman Phillippi indicated this review is for the landscaping plan for the northerly 20 feet of the site. Mr. Fernow questioned if the Board was aware open -face downspouts were installed on the north side of the building. These do cause a problem during the winter with freezing. He said the transformer was installed 16 feet from his garage. More dirt has been hauled in. The only way he will be satisfied is with a retaining wall starting 20 feet back from White Bear Avenue and go easterly past the ditch . He commented on how high the building was constructed. The swale was installed prior to the plan being submitted to the City for approval. He requested the retaining he be 10efeetttallvso their also not have to look at the building. The Board questioned what is recommended as maximum slope for a site. Director of Public Works Haider indicated that a 3:1 slope is considered a maintainable slope. He indicated a portion of the site is 3:1 slope and some of the site is 2:1. The applicant indicated he had been at the site after a hard rain and he did not see any major problems with the water run -off. Blaine Edmondson, Blaine Construction, indicated he was not too • concerned with costs, he is responsible for construction of the building, not installation of the landscaping. He is to do the rough grading. Max Norton, Windsor Landscaping, described how he designed the swale for the site. He said a 2 :1 slope is maintainable. He cannot speak to the fact if water will end up on the slope from the roof. The fence, as proposed, can accomplish the necessary screening that is recommended. He thought the retaining wall was an unnecessary solution to the problem, the fence will accomplish the screening and the combination of the swales will accomplish the carrying away of excess run -off. He said the run -off from the roof goes into a 6" pipe which is conveyed underground. Mr. Fernow indicated if the Board does not recommend a retaining wall he will have to appeal that decision. The Board discussed the building and site as constructed, what they anticipated in the plans that were submitted and what was received. They suggested a minimum 1 1/2 foot swale, 2.5 to 1 maximum slope and a fence to the east lot line of the site. Board Member Hedlund moved the Board does not recommend approval of the proposal and suggested revisions to the plan. Board Member Moe seconded Ayes - all. The Board made various suggestions to incorporate into the revised landscaping plan. The Board indicated if the requirements could be met without a retaining wall it would be approved that way. If there is not sufficient room, a retaining wall may be required. The Board requested the contours be included on the plans to be presented for the next Board meeting 6. DESIGN REVIEW 7.
