MEMORANDUM TO: Melinda Coleman, City Manager FROM: Michael Martin, AICP,Economic Development Coordinator DATE: April 19, 2016 SUBJECT: ConsiderApproval of Design Plans for a Proposed Restaurant Building, Taco Bell, 1965 County Road D East Introduction Barb Schneider of Border Foods is proposing to demolish the existing building at 1965 County Road D East and build a new building for their Taco Bell restaurant. In addition to the new building, Ms. Schneider is proposing updates to the parking lotand landscaping. Background This existing building was approved by the city in 1985 originally as a Zantigo restaurant and is currently used as a Taco Bellrestaurant. The property is guided by the city’s comprehensive plan as Commercial and zoned Business Commercial, which a restaurant with a drive-throughis a permitted use. Discussion Building Design and Site Plan The proposed2,806 square foot buildingwith adrive-through window service and an outside patio will largely be attractive asdesigned. The proposed materials include a combination of white brick veneer, grey and brown Hardie siding, metal panels for the awning, cooler walls and patio roof, and a corner tower of rust wall panels. High parapet walls extend across the front of the building providing for varying heights and also screen the mechanicals on the roof. An internal trash room has been incorporated into the building which eliminates the need for an exterior trash enclosure. The proposed site plan meets all setback requirements. Landscaping The landscape plan submitted with the application shows a total of ten significant trees on the site. Six of those trees are proposed to be removed during redevelopment of the site, for a total of 63 caliper inches removed. The required tree replacement for this project is 35.719 caliper inches, or 15 –2.5 caliper inch trees. The applicant’s landscape plan shows a total of 14 –2.5 caliper inch trees to be replanted on the site. These trees total 35 caliper inches of replacement trees, which does not meet the city’s tree replacement requirement of 35.719 caliper inches. Other elements to the landscape plan include juniper shrubs and karl forester grasses. Parking Lot The footprint of the existing parking lot will be reducedsignificantly. Currently the parking lot is within five feet of the north property line. As part of the redevelopment of this site, the new parking lot at its closest point will be 15 feet from the north property line but also slopes further away to both the east and west sides of the site. The parking lot improvements will reduce the amount of impervious surface on site by almost 10 percent. City ordinance requires this site to have 18 parking spaces and the applicant will be providing 25 spaces. Wetland As part of developing the plans for this site and working with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) anewly identified wetland was established to the north of the site completely within the Interstate 694 right-of-way. Prior to developing the plans for this project, this wetland was not identified on either the watershed or the city’s wetland maps. The city will be moving forward with placing this wetland on its official map and deeming it a Manage C wetland –which typically requires a 50 foot setback. Even if this wetland had been identified previously, the city would not have required a wetland buffer variance because the site is considered a legal, non-conforming use in terms of its setback to the wetland. Even further, the applicant is not proposing to expand the legal, nonconformity but is actually reducing its status by increasing the parking lot setback and reducing the amount of impervious surface on site. The applicant should not the new legal, nonconforming setback line will now be 15 feet from the north property, instead of the existing five-foot setback. MnDOT has review this project plans and does not have any concerns regarding the new building and only requires that no work or grading occur within the right-of-way. Because of the site’s proximity to the wetland staff will be recommending replacing the river birch and skyline honey locust trees adjacent to thewetland with Minnesota native trees such as oaks or maples and replacing the sod on the north side of the drive-through aisle with native shrubs and/or grasses in a hardwood mulch bed. Pinkarea indicates newly, identified wetland. City will add this as a Manage C wetland to its official wetland map. Department Comments Building Official Jason Brash, building inspector, commented the applicant will need to meet the following requirements: 1.Applicant will need a demolition permit and Ramsey County approval. 2.Build per 2012 IBC, 2012 IMC, 2012 IFGC, 2014 NEC, 2012 Minnesota State Plumbing Code, 2015 Minnesota State Building Code 1323 Commercial Energy Code 2012 IECC, 2015 Minnesota State Building Code with ANSI A117. 1-2009 accessibility rules. Assistant Fire Chief Butch Gervais, assistant fire chief, commented the applicant is required to provide fire protection with monitoring fire department lock box and must have all permits pulledand on site.

Fee ownership of the property is an affiliated company BFI Real Estate Holdings, LLC. Our principals are Lee and Jeff Engler who have been operating rurants in Minnesota since 1980 beginning with Los Primos Restaurant in Southdale. Since 2009 our company has completed scrape and re- development projects in the Minneapolis / St. Paul metro area at Rice Street in St. Paul, Columbia Heights, Brooklyn Center, Edina, offset location re-development projects in Eagan and Hopkins, new development projects in Coon Rapids and Buffalo, in addition to numerous remodel projects. The current building and site improvements were originally const drive thru restaurant since that time. Border Foods is proposing to re-develop the existing Taco Bell at 1965 County Road D East with a newly designed building with drive thru window ser seating with landscaping underneath a covered patio area. The new building is rectangular in shape with a size of 2,806 sfThe exterior materials are a combination of white brick veneer, grey and brown Hardie siding, pre weathered patio roof, and a corner tower of rust wall panels. High parapet walls extend across the front of the building providing for varying heights and also screen the mechanicals on the roof. An internal trash room has been incorporated into the building which eliminates the need for an exterior trash corral. New site improvements and landscaping are proposed that service and compliment the new building. The new building and site layout is similar to the existing configuratio vehicles heading west with a right in, right out only access. Access to the site is unchanged via these two existing curb cuts onto County Road D East. Parking of 25 stalls is maintained on the east side of the building in close proximity to the main customer entrance. A designated exit/bypass lane wraps around the north and west si of the building that enhances safe traffic circulation around the site. A car st board and audio system placement for drive thru service are nort-694, and are not in close proximity to any residence. The existing pylon sign in the northwest corner of the site adjacent to I-694, and the existing monument sign in the southeast corner of t East, will both remain at existing locations. Existing parking north of the building has been eliminated resul in a reduction of impervious surface coverage of the site from 2 reduction).

Theapplicants have identified and have haddelineated a Manage C wetland located to the north of the property, within the MNDOT Interstate 694 right-of-way. A. Wetland Ordinance : There is a Manage C wetland located on the north side of the property, within the MNDOT Interstate 694 right-of-way. The City’s wetland ordinance requires a 50-foot buffer adjacent a Manage C wetland. The existing parking lot is setback 5 feet from the edge of the wetland. The wetland ordinance further states that buildings and structures not in conformity with the regulations prescribed in this article as of its effective date shall be regarded as nonconforming and may continue. Wetland Buffer: Redevelopment of the site will increase the nonconforming wetland buffer from 5 feet to 15 feet. B.Tree Preservation Ordinance :Maplewood’s tree preservation ordinance describes a significant tree as a hardwood tree with a minimum of 6 inches in diameter, an evergreen tree with a minimum of 8 inches in diameter, and a softwood tree with a minimum of 12 inches in diameter. The ordinance requires any significant tree removed to be replaced based on a tree mitigation calculation. The calculation takes into account the size of a tree and bases replacement on that size. In essence, the ordinance requires an applicant to plant a greater amount of smaller replacement trees because they removed a significant number of large trees. Tree Removal and Required Replacement :Thelandscape plan submitted with the application shows a total of ten significant trees on the site. Six of those trees are proposed to be removed during redevelopment of the site, for a total of 63caliper inches removed. The required tree replacement for this project is 35.719caliper inches, or 15 – 2.5 caliper inch trees. The applicant’s landscape plan shows a total of 14– 2.5 caliper inch trees to be replanted on the site. These trees total 35caliper inches of replacement trees, 1 Attachment 6 which does not meet the city’s tree replacement requirementof 35.719 caliper inches. The species of trees to be planted include skyline honey locust, northwood red maple, and river birch. C.Wetland Buffer and Tree Replacement Recommendations: 1.The applicant must submit a revised landscape plan which shows the following: a.An additional .719 caliper inches of trees replanted on the site. b.Replacement of theriver birch and skyline honey locusttrees adjacent the Manage C wetland with Minnesota native trees such as oaks or maples. c.Replacement of sod on the north side of the drive through aisle, within the wetland buffer, with native shrubs and/or grasses in a hardwood mulch bed. 2 Attachment 7 Minnesota Department of Transportation Metropolitan District Waters Edge Building 1500 County Road B2 West Roseville, MN 55113 April 14, 2016 Michael Martin Maplewood Community Development 1830 County Road B East Maplewood, MN 55109 SUBJECT:Maplewood Taco Bell, MnDOT Review #S16-027 SW quad of I-694 and White Bear Ave. Maplewood,Ramsey County Control Section 6286 Dear Mr. Martin: Thank you for the opportunity to review the site plan for the proposed Taco Bell rebuild.
