This building will have up to four tenants withat least one tenant initially having a drive through. This project would be located on the former Sinclair gas station site. Request The applicant is requesting cityapproval ofdesign reviewand a comprehensive sign plan for a shared sign. Background 1966:The Sinclair Station building was built. August 16, 2010:The city issued a demolition permit for the Sinclair Station building and gas tanks. Discussion Design Review Architectural The proposedbuilding will be built with a combination or EIFS, face brick and rockface CMUs for the foundation. The end tenant –identified by the applicant’s plans as Tim Hortons –would also incorporate lap siding. The proposed trash enclosure would also incorporate these same materials. Site Layout Access to the site would occur from the existing driveways serving the neighboring Cub Foods. No new access points from either Rice Street or County Road B East would be added due to this project. As a result of themost recent street improvements a driveway entrance was included on the County Road B East side of this site, but the applicant would be removing this curb cut and installing new curb and sidewalk segments. As proposed, there are two access points to the site from the private drive to the east. A drive through lane circlesthe building on the north and west side of the building. The site’s trash enclosurewould be located on the east end of the building. There will also be a sidewalk connection on the west side of the site. Parking For restaurants, the city’s parking ordinance requires one parking space for every 50 square feet of area available for patron use –meaning 20 spaces are required. The remaining retail areas of the building require one space for every 200 square feet of area –meaning 21 spaces are required. A total of 41 parking spaces are required for this site and the applicant is proposing 42 spaces. In addition, the applicant has submitted a shared parking agreement with the neighboring Cub Foods –which has many more spaces than is required –to allow for employeeparking as needed. These additional spaces could also be used to meet ordinance requirements if a second restaurant was added to the building. Landscaping To construct this project, the applicant intends to remove seven significant trees –a total of 72 caliber inches. Based on the city’s tree preservation ordinance the applicant is required to plant 86.4 caliber inches or pay into the city’s tree fund. The applicant’s landscape plan shows 20 new trees being planted –with a total of 67 caliber inches. The applicant is required to either plant an additional 19.4 caliber inches or pay into the city’s tree fund. Lighting The applicant’s lighting plan meets ordinance requirements. Comprehensive Sign Plan Shared Sign Theapplicant’s plans show two proposed signs –a pylon sign and a monument sign. Each sign has four panels. The applicant is proposing two of the panels of the pylon sign be dedicated for the neighboring Cub Foods store. This request is the result of the two parties negotiating over agreements related to parking, access and drainage. City ordinance requires a comprehensive sign plan for all shared signs. The existing old Sinclair sign on this site will come down as part of the development. Currently, Cub Foods does not utilize any freestanding signs for this location. Prior to any sign permits being issued, the applicant must submit a site survey showing the proposed signs meeting the required setbacks.

The redevelopment plan for the Rice Street Shoppes involves building a new retail center with approximately four retail or restaurant users. The plans for the new center will also improve the existing access and site drainage from its current state. The new building aesthetics will include contemporary architecture that will establish the property as a very high quality and visually appealing project. Once completed, this redevelopment will generate excitement within the local community and bring new patrons to the area which will enhance shopping and dining visits to other nearby merchants as well. As part of the redevelopment effort, Solomon has worked closely with SuperValu to address some needed easements so that the two properties can operate successfully together as one larger comprehensive center or project. To this end, Super Valu has agreed to grant the Sinclair property an easement for access and drainage (both of which currently don’t exist and thereby “land-lock” the Sinclair property making its redevelopment virtually impossible). In addition, Super Valu has agreed to grant the Sinclair property a non-exclusive parking easement for the 15 parking stalls currently located adjacent to its property which will be used for employee parking and will allow for the possibility of a second restaurant to be located on the Sinclair property as part of its redevelopment. In exchange for these beneficial easements, we have granted Super Valu a position on our shopping center pylon sign. With these agreements, the two properties are now closely coordinated with one another in a desirable comprehensive plan format. Attachment 7 Engineering Plan Review PROJECT: 2158 Rice Street Retail Center PROJECT NO: 16-30 COMMENTS BY: Jon Jarosch, P.E. – Staff Engineer DATE: 10-10-2016 PLAN SET: Engineering plansdated 9-26-2016 REPORTS: Storm Water Management Report – Dated 9-28-2016 Theapplicant is proposing toconstruct a retail center at thesoutheast corner of County Road B and Rice Street.The applicant is requesting a review of the current design. As theamount of disturbance on this site is greater than 0.5 acre, the applicantis requiredto meet the City’s stormwater quality, rate control, and other stormwater management requirements.Due to slow infiltrating and contaminatedsoils on the site, the applicant is requesting alternative compliance with the City’s requirements. This review does not constitute a final review of the plans, as the applicant will need to submit construction documents for final review.Thefollowing are engineeringreview comments on the design and act as conditions prior to issuing permits. Drainage and Stormwater Management 1)The project shall be submitted to the Capitol Regions Watershed District (CRWD) for review. All conditions of CRWD shall be met.Permit coverage from the CRWD is required prior to the issuance of a City grading permit. 2)The stormwater management report notes the presence of clay soils, which are not conducive to infiltration, along with the presence of contaminated soils from the gas station that previously occupied this site. The applicant shall provide soils information to support this statement. 3)If it is determined to be infeasible to provide water quality treatment onsite after reviewing site specific soils information, the developer shall contribute to the City’s Environmental Utility Fund to offset the post construction management of water quality treatment that was not achieved on site. These fundsshall be utilized by the City to construct public stormwater projects that address water qualityas set forth in the City’s Stormwater Ordinance. 4)Emergency overland overflows shall be identified on the plansfor the parking lot low- points. Overflows shall contain adequate protection to prevent erosion. Attachment 7 5)High water level for the proposed storm sewer systemshall be shown on the grading plan. 6)Cleanouts shall be installed at all bend locations for theproposed draintile. Grading and Erosion Control 7)Silt fencing near the southwest corner of the site shall be heavy-duty mesh backed or double-row standard silt fence as this area is subject to concentrated flows. 8)All slopesshall be 3H:1V or flatter. 9)Inlet protection devices shall be installed on allexistingand proposedonsite storm seweruntil all exposed soils onsite are stabilized.This includes storm sewer on adjacent streets that could potentially receive construction related sedimentor debris. 10)Adjacent streetsand parking areasshall be swept as needed to keep the pavement clear of sediment and construction debris. 11)All pedestrian facilities shall be ADA compliant. 12)A copy of the project SWPPP and NDPES Permit shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a grading permit. 13)The total grading volume (cut/fill) shall be noted on the plans. 14)A building permit is needed for retaining walls over 4-feet in height.

After receiving city council approval for this project, the applicant testedthe soils and found areas of poor quality. To work with the site conditions, the building has been reconfigured slightly to avoid the poorest areas of the site. The applicant will still be using the same building materials as originally proposed and has worked to incorporate the community design review board’s comments from the initial review of this project. Request The applicant is requesting cityapproval ofdesign reviewfor revised plans. Background September 12, 2016:The city council approved a conditional use permit and design review for a 108,150-square-foot indoor self-storage facility. Discussion Design Review Architectural As previously mentioned, the applicant will be using the same building materials and colors as originally proposed. During the community design review board’s original review it required the applicant to add additional architectural elements to the building’s elevations. Following is the applicant’s narrative for what has been added to the building elevations since the original review. North Elevation: Added ornamental trees to soften the look from Highway 36. Added windows to the elevation. Increased the corrugated metal panel to add texture. Added brick texture to the northwest corner. West Elevation: Added windows to the elevation. Added brick texture to the northwest and southwest corner. South Elevation: Added windows to the elevation. Added brick texture to the southwest and southeast corner. East Elevation: Added windows to the elevation. Added brick texture to the southeast corners. Maintained the same amount of glass to the new entry location. Site Layout Access to the site will stilloccur from the existing curb cut from Cope Avenue. Users will still pull in and park inside the building to access their storage spaces.The new building layout will still meet and exceed all applicable setback requirements. The proposed detention pond will move from south of the building to east of the building. The city’s engineering department has reviewed the revised site layout and has no major concerns. Original Proposed Layout RevisedProposed Layout Parking The revised site plan shows the inclusion of six parking spaces –one fewer than the original site plan. The office space area of the building will remain at 1,200 square feet. For office space, the city requires one parking space for every 200square feet. Meaning, this development requires six spaces and is providing seven. Other storage facilities in the city have not been required toprovide parking for the square footage dedicated to storage. Acorn Storage –located at 2457 Maplewood Drive North –was required to provide seven parking spaces just for its office space. U-Haul Self Storage –located at 1195 Viking Drive East –was required to originally provide four parking spaces but in 2012 added two more for a total of six parking spaces. In addition to the six spaces outside, there will be room for at least eight cars to be parked inside of the facility. Landscaping The applicant is still not proposing to remove any significant trees and will be planting 35 new trees on site. The applicant is working to keep the site conditions along Cope Avenue and English Street as untouched as possible to provide screening between the new facility and the neighboring properties. During the community design review board’s original review, it required the applicant to revise thelandscaping plan showing the addition of four tree species to the north elevation. The applicant has revised the plan showing four trees on the north elevation, however they are of the same species. The applicant will be required to again revise the planto show multiple species of trees being planted in this area. Department Comments EngineeringDepartment, Jon Jarosch Please see Steve Love’s revisedengineering report, dated October19, 2016, attached to this report. Recommendations A.Approve the plans date-stamped October 19, 2016, for the indoor storage building to be located at 1315 Cope Avenue East. Approval is subject to the applicant doing the following: 1.Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this project. 2.Prior to issuance of a grading or building permit, the applicant must submit tostaff for approval the following items: a.A revised landscaping plan showing the size, species, and location of all significant trees on the property; location of trees protected and measures for protection. The addition of multiplespeciesfor the trees to be planted on the north elevation to beapproved by staff. b.The revised building plans showing the required additionaldesign elements to the westand north elevationsshall be submitted to the city for approval of the required building permits. c.A revised photometric plan which meets all city lighting requirements. d.An irrevocable letter of credit or cash escrow for all required landscaping.The amount shallbe 150 percent of the cost of the work. The city shall holdthis escrow until it has been shown that the landscaping has survived one full growing season. 3.Signage on the property is not part of the design review approval. The applicantshall apply for sign permits to be reviewed by staff. 4.Comply with all requirements of the revised engineering report dated October 19, 2016. 5.All work shall follow the approved plans and these conditions. Staff may approveminor changes. 6.The applicant shall present the design of the dumpster enclosure for staffapproval and the dumpster shall be constructed of materials and colors to matchthe indoor storage building.

We remain excited for the opportunity to join your community. During our due dilligance and pre-development work we have found a major issue with the quality of the soils at our Cope Ave and English St location. The Geotechnical Engineer we are working with, Steve Gerber at Northern Technologies, LLC had found unfavorable soils for maintaining building structural integrity across the east portions of our proposed building location. Mr. Gerber had made the recommendation that we should rotate the building outside of this problem area and then surcharge the site to remediate the soil issues we have. Essentially, the advantage of rotating the buiding away from this problem area to the east is that the building will have more structural stability. The enclosed Civil and Architectural drawings will show the details of the proposed location and how our team has worked to maintain the spirit of the CDRB’s comments on landscaping and overall appearance of the building. As you can see, we have kept the same materials and general design in these revised plans consistent with the prior approval. We have also made sure to address the prior comments of the CDRB in this resubmittal. It is our hope that this updated building location will be approved by the City so we can get the nessecary site work activity completed prior to the upcoming winter. Upon your review of our updated submittal, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concersn you may have. Thank you for your time and consideration.

As theamount of disturbance on this site is greater than 0.5 acre, the applicantis requiredto meet the City’s stormwater quality, rate control, and other stormwater management requirements.The submitted stormwater management plan depicts the project meetingthe City’s requirements via the use of an infiltration basin. This review does not constitute a final review of the plans, as the applicant will need to submit construction documents for final review.Thefollowing are engineeringreview comments on the design and act as conditions prior to issuing permits. Drainage and Stormwater Management 1)The project shall be submitted to the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (RWMWD) for review. All conditions of RWMWD shall be met.Permit coverage from the RWMWD is required prior to the issuance of a City grading permit. 2)Emergency overland overflows shall be identified on the plansfor the underground infiltration system. 3)High water level for the proposed infiltration basin shall be shown on the grading plan. 4)Updated stormwater modeling calculations are required to be submitted to RWMWD and the City of Maplewood for the proposed conditions as shown on the revised plans dated 10-18-2016. 5)Revise plans to show energy dispersion, such as rip-rap, at the end of each proposed flared end section down to the bottom of the proposed infiltration basin. Attachment 7 6)Revise grading plan and the locationof the emergency overflow elevation (EOF) for the proposed infiltration basin to the north end of the basin. The EOF should be moved so any discharge would be directed into the public drainage and utility easement located at the northwest corner of the adjacent property. 7)Review the grading at the northwest corner of the building to ensure stormwater from the west side of the build is able to make it around the northwest corner of the building. Grading and Erosion Control 8)All slopesshall be 3H:1V or flatter. 9)Inlet protection devices shall be installed on allexistingand proposedonsite storm seweruntil all exposed soils onsite are stabilized.This includes storm sewer on adjacent streets that could potentially receive construction related sedimentor debris. 10) Bio-roll or silt-fencing shall be installed at intervals along the slopes and left in place until vegetation is established. 11)Adjacent streetsand parking areasshall be swept as needed to keep the pavement clear of sediment and construction debris. 12)All pedestrian facilities shall be ADA compliant. 13)A copy of the project SWPPP and NDPES Permit shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a grading permit. 14)The total grading volume (cut/fill) shall be notedon the plans. 15)All emergency overland overflows shall contain adequate stabilization to prevent soils from eroding during large storm events. 16)Construction details shall be provided for the proposed infiltration basin. 17)Plant establishment phasing detailsshall be provided to ensure a successful establishment of plants within the infiltration basin area. The concern is that the seeded areas could have difficulty establishing with runoff. 18)Review the proposed finished floor elevation set at 888.00. Proposed spot elevation adjacent to the building access appear to indicate the finished floor is set at 887.50. Attachment 7 19)Exterior building elevations indicate that there is a proposed access door located at the southwest corner of the building. Review proposed grading plan to ensure it accounts for the proposed access door. Sanitary Sewer and Water Service 20)The applicant shall be responsible for paying any SAC, WAC, or PAC charges related to the improvements proposed with this project.A SAC determination is required prior to the issuance of permits. 21)Water system modifications shall bereviewed by Saint Paul regional Water Services. Other 22)Sidewalk shall be installed along the property frontage on Cope Avenue. 23)The plans shall be signed by a professional engineer currently licensed in the State of Minnesota. 24)The Owner shall submit a signedcopy of the joint storm-water maintenance agreement beingprepared for the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed Districttothe Cityprior to theissuance of a grading permit. 25)The applicant shall satisfy the requirements of all other permitting agencies. Please provide copies of other required permits and approvals. Public Works Permits The following permits are required by the Public Works Department for this project. The applicant should verify the need for other City permits with the Building Department. 26)Grading and erosion control permit 27)Sanitary Sewer Permit 28)Storm Sewer Connection Permit 29)Right-of-way permit for work on Cope Avenue -END COMMENTS -
