parking provided would be adequate.

interest in seeing this site cleaned up and trucks and
bodies removed from those areas designated for cars.

up and said he would comply.

8. BOARD PRESENTATIONS
The Board members discussed the landscaping at Maplewood
City Hall. Several Review Board members commented that the
existing landscaping around the parking lot has seriously
deteriorated, and the new trees added by the addition were
planted too close together and in an area which was already
landscaped by existing trees and shrubs.
Boardmember Deans moved the City of Maplewood develop a
landscaping plan for the parking lot area, building area,
and other areas where trees have died, and submit this plan
to Board for approval. The reasoning for this motion is as
follows:
1. The landscaping has deteriorated.
2. Most of the existing trees have died.
3. Proper, well -kept landscaping would make a good image
for the City.
• 4. Poorly kept landscaping hurts the Design Review Board's
credibility with developers.
5. The Board had required that the landscaping at City
Hall be repaired and maintained as a condition of their
approval of plans for the addition.
Boardmember Erickson seconded Ayes - -Moe, Deans,

CITIZENS' COMMENTS
Staff surveyed the 36 property owners within 350 feet of the site
for their opinions of this request. There were 13 replies. Four
were in favor, six had no comment and three were opposed.
Miscellaneous Comments
1. Group Health, Inc. has no objection but requests that the
center be maintained in a neat fashion with no outside
storage.
2. I'm split on this. No problem with expanding, I'm just
concerned over the easement. The applicant should review
changes to leave utility easement intact. If not possible
Fina should bear all costs of relocating.
3. I am in favor as long as there are stringent guidelines
followed to ensure no groundwater contamination occurs.
4. It will service the community and we really don't have
anything close to us like that.
Objections
1. I object because of the current traffic and the current speed
limit (which is consistently exceeded.)
2. I object because don't need extra traffic or business. Make
homes not apartments.
3. We object because there already is enough traffic pulling on
and off White Bear Avenue as it is. As for what to do with
the land, we do not know. There is also enough noise daytime
and at night.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager
FROM: Thomas Ekstrand, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: City Hall Landscaping
LOCATION: 1830 East County Road B
DATE: August 7, 1990
INTRODUCTION
On July 31, 1990, the Community Design Review Board voted to have
a revised landscape plan for City Hall submitted for their review.
The Board wanted to see a plan for relandscaping the parking lot
area. They also felt that the new trees planted by the northwest
corner of the new addition were too close together. Refer to the
minutes on page 2.
LANDSCAPE PLAN STATUS
Gretchen Maglich, Assistant City Manager, is working with local
landscape designers to develop a plan which would address the
Board's concerns. This plan should be available for the Board's
review by the first meeting in September.
