I offer on behalf of the City and County Employees Credit Union the following for approval of a Conditional Use Permit. 1. As per our architectural design and site preparation plans as submitted, it is the intent of the Credit Union to conform with the City's comprehensive plan and Code of Ordinance. 2. The nature of Credit Union business is within current zoning limitations and will not alter significantly the character of the area. 3. The property is currently vacant and unimproved. The construction of a structure for Credit Union business will not cause surrounding property to decrease in value. 4. The nature of Credit Union business does not involve any operational methods or materials dangerous, hazardous, detrimental, disturbing or cause nuisance to persons or property because of excessive noise, glare, smoke, dust, odor, fumes, water or air pollution, vibration, general unsightliness, electrical interference or other nuisances. The Credit Union will incorporate adequate drainage and water runoff controls and confluences in its architectural plans in accordance with City specifications. 7 Attachment 4 City and County Employees Credit Union Page Two 5. Vehicular congestion is not anticipated from member patronage. Design of the drive —up facility allows for adequate stacking of vehicles waiting for service. There is sufficient on site parking. Easy access to Highway 36 via controlled intersections will hold traffic impact from the proposed branch to a minimum. 6. Public facilities and services as currently provided by the City are adequate for Credit Union needs. 7. Because the current public facilities and services are adequate, the Credit Union branch will not create excessive additional costs. 8. As this property contains no mature trees, development of this property as proposed, does not detract form the site's natural or scenic features. Proposed site and landscape plans will compliment the site and surrounding area. 9. It is the intent of Credit Union to develop this site with as little adverse environmental impact as possible.

(See the map on page 4.) BACKGROUND July 20, 1961: The Maplewood Village Council approved the vacation of the north -south alley between Kingston Avenue and Effingham Street, approximately 113 feet west of Payne Avenue. This is shown on the map on page 4. November 20, 1989: The Maplewood Planning Commission recommended approval of the vacation of the alley north of Kingston Avenue. At this meeting, the Planning Commission requested that staff investigate the vacation of Effingham Street and the remaining north -south alley in this block. December 11, 1989: The Maplewood City Council approved the vacation of the east -west alley. CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL Chapter 412.851 of state law states that "Council may, by resolution, vacate any street . . . if it appears to be in the public interest to do so. . ." DISCUSSION The Effingham Street right -of -way, west of 1771 Payne Avenue, should be vacated. It is undeveloped and is not needed for street or utility purposes. The right -of -way should not be vacated in front of 1771 Payne Avenue, as the entire right -of -way section would go to the property owner to the south. This would cause two problems: 1. 1771 Payne Avenue uses this section of the right -of -way for a driveway turn - around. 110 2. The house at 1771 Payne Avenue appears to be very close, if not on, the right -of -way. If the right -of -way were vacated, the property owner to the south could construct an accessory building within 5 -10 feet of the house at 1771 Payne Avenue. The north -south alley between Kingston and Effingham should not be vacated. It is being used for access and utility purposes. RECOMMENDATIONS I. Approve the resolution on page 5 to vacate the unimproved Effingham street right -of -way, west of 1771 Payne Avenue to the DNR Trail. Approval is in the public interest because: 1. The adjoining property owners have no interest in having a street constructed. 2. The adjoining properties have adequate street access. 3. This street right -of -way is not needed for area traffic circulation or emergency vehicle access. 4. Maplewood's policy has been to vacate unneeded rights -of -way whenever possible. II. Drop the request for the alley vacation. 110 CITIZEN COMMENTS Staff sent surveys to 15 property owners within 350 feet of this request. Of the 7 responses, 5 were in favor, 1 had no comment and 1 objected. Attachments 1. Location Map 2. Property Line /Zoning Map 3. Street Vacation Resolution SBALLEYVAC 411 2 .1 .
