MEMORANDUM TO: Melinda Coleman, City Manager FROM:Chris Swanson, Environmental and City Code Specialist DATE: April 3, 2018 SUBJECT:Approval of Conditional Use Permit Reviews,FrostEnglishVillage,1265 Frost AvenueEast and 1957 English StreetNorth Introduction Review of the conditional use permits(CUP) for the Frost EnglishVillage project located at 1265 Frost AvenueEast(Phase 1)and 1957 English Street North(Phase 2) are due for theirannual review. The CUPfor Phase 1allowed a building over threestories tall to be constructed in a Mixed Use (MU) district. A second CUP was required for Phase 2 as the building is located on a different parcel than Phase 1. The CUP for Phase 2 allows a building over three stories tall and with an increased front yard setback to be constructed in a Mixed Use (MU) district. There is a final Phase 3 planned for the site. Phase 3 will be a commercial building adjacent to the intersection of Frost Avenue and English Street.Plans have not been submitted for Phase 3. Background January 22, 2014: The Metropolitan Council approved a livable community demonstration account (LCDA) grant request for the city of Maplewood for $1,900,000. This grant money was used for public infrastructure improvements along Frost Avenue and assisted the developer with the purchase of the Maplewood Bowl site. April 13, 2015: The City Council approved a lot division, design review, and CUP for Phase 1. May 26, 2015: The City Council approved a tax-increment financing (TIF)plan for this project. The TIF plan works to offset a portion of theeligible costs incurred in the redevelopment of the 5.5 acre former Maplewood Bowl site. Additionally, the city undertook public improvements as part of the larger Gladstone area redevelopment plan, which included costs spent both inside and outside of the TIF District. A portion of these city incurred public improvement costs were eligible for reimbursement from TIF revenue.

City of Maplewood 4-33 MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 Gladstone Redevelopment Plan The Gladstone Neighborhood Development Plan was completed in 2007 to guide redevelopment in the area. The plan includes a conceptual redevelopment plan, including proposed housing densities and commercial components that responded to market forces. While implementation of the market, adherence to the plan’s guiding principles will ensure development will achieve the community’s vision. These guiding principles include: » That the neighborhood maintains the resemblance of its historic past as a “village” marked by organic building patterns and a mix of uses. » That the regional trails be celebrated as village corridors where the neighborhood embraces them rather than relegate them. » That Gladstone becomes a compelling “quality of life” choice offering a great place to live, work, and play with an enduring quality of design. A sustainable community. » That natural and ecological functions are “woven” into the built and recreational fabric of the neighborhood, community and region rather » That the story of Gladstone is told (or “whispered”) through the design and improvements of public and private spaces. » That walkability becomes “the” standard when it comes to urban design and mobility in Gladstone. » That all stages of life are welcomed and embraced through the arrangement of uses and design of space throughout the neighborhood. » That opportunity for connections to varying modes of transportation are not lost but fostered through better design and vision. be instrumental in moving the neighborhood forward to achieve the common community vision. Over the last decade the City has completed a number of LAND USE the public investments suggested by the Gladstone Plan, including restoration of the Savanna, area wide stormwater improvements, and streetscape improvements of Frost and English Street. Beginning in 2016 the area also saw private investment in the neighborhood. The Frost English Village will be completed in three phases. Phase 1, which opened in the summer of 2016 included a 4-story, 50 unit rental apartment building. Phase II, currently underway, will include a senior rental building. Phase III, which will occur in 2018 will include a 6,500 square foot commercial building. The Gladstone Master Plan image provides an illustrative example of how land uses and buildings could be organized in the neighborhood. It is not intended to represent exactly what will be built. 2040 Comprehensive Plan 4-34 MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 Hillcrest Village A study of the 85-acre Hillcrest Village area, located in both Maplewood and St. Paul, was completed in 2002. The area is fully developed with commercial, residential, and high-density senior housing land uses. There is a 1950s-era strip shopping center and other strip commercial uses located along the major roadway corridors of Larpenteur Avenue, White Bear Avenue, North St. Paul Road, and Frost Avenue. The intent for the study was to identify how to revitalize the area’s retail and make the area walkable. Phase I of the Frost English Village with 50 the intersection of Larpenteur and White Bear Avenues with additional rental units. Residential land uses extend out with denser apartment buildings immediately adjacent the mixed use and commercial buildings, transitioning to townhomes and rowhouses further away. The City of Maplewood has taken steps to encourage redevelopment as its zoning ordinance to support implementation of this plan. However, limited redevelopment has yet been realized. In 2017 the Hillcrest Golf Course, a private golf club located less than one mile to the east of the neighborhood announced that it would be closing. The City of St. Paul is currently evaluating future uses of that site and it is anticipated that plans for Hillcrest Village may be revisited. Rice-Larpenteur Vision Plan The cities of Maplewood, Roseville, and St. Paul collaborated in 2017 on the development of a vision plan for the Rice Street and Larpenteur Avenue corridor. The purpose of the project was to understand and respond to land use, access, transit services, and other facilities around key nodes in the corridor and to identify potential redevelopment sites. HIllcrest Village Concept Redevelopment Plan use area that serves the surrounding neighborhoods as well as the broader » Provide safe connections for walking and biking to and through the area. » Ensure a safe crossing from the Marion Street area to the Community School of Excellence. » Improve the aesthetic quality of street design to improve the quality and condition of streetscape elements (lighting, benches, bus stops, etc.) and sidewalks » Capitalize on development and redevelopment opportunities associated with revitalization of the corridor. » Host a “Food Truck 101” and a “Restaurant 101” event in this area like the program held by the St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce (SPACC) in December 2016. » » Develop a “Village by the Lake” using McCarrons and other blue-green infrastructure to create identity and increase sustainability.

These transitways are intended to improve accessibility and mobility in the Twin Cities region between areas where people live, work, shop, and recreate. To support these investments, cities are required to implement plans that will create Strategies include: » METRO Rush Line, minimum net densities are 25 units an acre, while the minimum net density for the METRO Gold Line is 10 units per acre. » Planning for a total level of activity that includes at least 7,000 residents, jobs, or students through a mix of housing, employment, retail, entertainment, and education. » Creating a pedestrian-friendly environment that maximizes walking and biking access and fosters an inviting experience on the way to transit. » Planning for mixed use development and a mix of housing affordability. » Incorporating civic, public, and semi-public spaces. METRO Rush Line (Purple) The METRO Rush Line, anticipated to be known as the Purple Line, is a 14-mile bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor that will extend from downtown St. Paul to White Bear Lake. A locally preferred alternative was selected in 2017 with 85% of the line planned to be a dedicated guideway that will share the Ramsey County Regional Railway Authority (RCRRA) right-of-way with the Bruce Vento Trail. The corridor will jog at Beam Avenue to provide connectivity to HealthEast St. Johns and Maplewood Mall. North of Interstate 694 it will continue along US Highway 61. While exact station locations have not been determined, it is anticipated that there will be stations serving Maplewood at Larpenteur Avenue, Frost Avenue, Highway 36/English, St. John’s Hospital, and Maplewood Mall. Planning is currently underway with operations anticipated by the mid-2020s. METRO Gold Line The METRO Gold Line is a 9-mile bus-rapid transit (BRT) corridor that will Proposed Route for the METRO Rush Line extend from downtown St. Paul to Woodbury. There are 10 stations proposed along the route, with one proposed in Maplewood near the 3M headquarters. Maplewood will seek to Planning is currently underway with construction anticipated in 2022 and ensure there is safe and operations expected to begin in 2024. convenient pedestrian and bicycle access to the stations from all directions for both BRT lines. For METRO Gold Line, this would include a bridge over Interstate 94 that can serve the neighborhoods to the south and connect the station to regional resources like Battle Creek Regional Park and beyond. Proposed Route for the METRO Gold Line City of Maplewood 4-37 MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 Issues and Opportunities The list of issues and opportunities was developed based on the community’s existing conditions, community input, past and current planning initiatives, and planned transit investments. » There are limited opportunities for new development. Most of growth will come from redevelopment and reinvestment. » Transit investments like the METRO Gold and METRO Rush Lines will this will provide an opportunity to create thriving pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use neighborhoods, care must be taken to sensitively integrate with the long-term single-family neighborhoods. » Maplewood Mall is a notable hub for retail and services in the community. Retail trends may require innovative and creative approaches to supports its evolution through 2040. » Historic retail nodes throughout the community are or will be in need of reinvestment over the next 20 years. Given retail market trends how can those areas be best supported so they can thrive and be a positive contributor to the surrounding neighborhoods. » Given the shape of Maplewood the City shares it border with many adjacent communities. Collaboration with these communities is important in shaping redevelopment, particularly in aging commercial areas. Future Land Use The City of Maplewood has various opportunities for redevelopment and development within its boundaries given the favorable location of the community in the metropolitan area. With this plan, the City seeks to ensure LAND USE continued investment and reinvestment in the community while maintaining and enhancing the character of various neighborhoods around the City. The location and intensity of development and redevelopment. The City has considered a number of factors in determining the future land use designations, including the location of existing development and infrastructure, forecasts of households and employment growth, environmental considerations and constraints, regional growth strategies, the compatibility of land uses with one another, and other community goals. land uses that serve the needs of the existing community and anticipates the future needs of the community. The Future Land Use Plan will provide a guide for managing future growth and redevelopment by identifying future land uses and intensity, as well development and redevelopment that can be accommodated wisely and in an orderly fashion, while protecting the natural resources and open spaces that number of acres expected for each type of land use. 2040 Comprehensive Plan 4-38 MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 Table 4-5.

Rural, not urban, planning and servicing principles will apply to these areas. Maplewood intends the rural-style and low density housing to be a long-term and enduring land use in this area. The City may allow the use of density bonuses if the applicant or property owners show how their proposal meets to have a mix of sewered and non-sewered developments. If appropriate densities are achieved in new developments, they will be sewered. Otherwise, the City’s sanitary sewer plan (contained within the Comprehensive Plan) will be used to determine when urban services should be extended and where it would be appropriate. For developments that are lower in density and will need to utilize on-site systems the Individual Sewage Treatment System (ISTS) standards must be met and will have to provide for adequate acreage. Low Density Residential (2.6 6.0 units per net acre) Low Density Residential is by far Maplewood’s largest residential per net acre in this land use category. Maplewood intends to continue this single-family housing types (including traditional single-family detached homes, detached town houses and two-family homes).

In an effort to support community reinvestment and be proactive to ensure quality development, the City explored in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan planning process the potential of re-guiding the Lions Park Neighborhood to Mixed Use Community Commercial. Mixed Use Community Commercial would allow a mix of uses, including all densities of residential, retail, and offices. It was intended that after adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the City would modify its existing mixed use zoning district or create a new mixed use zoning district for this area to outline permitted and conditional land uses, as well as to identify design standards to integrate the new uses within the existing neighborhood. As with any of the mixed use districts, the intent of the re-guiding is to provide increased flexibility for property owners in the future use of their property as any future redevelopment would be at the discretion of property The 2040 Comprehensive Plan uses existing land use to inform owners and the interest of private redevelopers. future designations. Properties adjacent to the 3M campus are Through community engagement about the draft guided employment, existing multi-family is guided high density comprehensive plan, the City heard from numerous residential, existing single family residential remain low density, property owners within the Lions Park Neighborhood and the commercial properties in the northeast corner are guided about this potential change in designation. Most mixed use neighborhood. property owners expressed concern about the designation as it would be a significant change from the existing, predominantly single family residential neighborhood. Land use related concerns raised included, but were not limited to, the types of uses that would be allowed, building height, site design, traffic, and potential infrastructure costs that might be assessed on existing uses. Neighborhood residents also expressed concern about depressed market values and the potential for decreased investment in long-term property maintenance and improvements as a result of uncertainty about future land uses. Given that the METRO Gold Line is not anticipated to be operating until the mid-2020s, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan was revised to include an action to complete a Lions Park Neighborhood Master Plan rather than having the entire neighborhood re-guided to Mixed Use Community Commercial (see Action #15). This approach recognizes that there are currently a few unknowns, such as the location of the station and the sidewalk/trail routes through 3M, that could affect the potential for Lions Park to be a focus for future transit related redevelopment. The intent is that a neighborhood master plan would be able to better assess the extent of potential redevelopment and identify where it would be best to designate mixed use community. The neighborhood master plan would also provide more specific direction regarding design and transitional elements that could help minimize the impact of future redevelopment on the neighborhood. It is recommended that the development of a neighborhood master plan include a taskforce which includes representation from the neighborhood. While in general the land use designation follows the 2030 future land use designations, a few changes were made to reflect 2040 city-wide comprehensive plan directions. This includes the designation of properties adjacent to 3M as employment and the commercial properties at the corner of Century Avenue and Minnehaha as mixed use neighborhood.

Cultural & Historic Properties Historic properties are properties with features such as an archaeological site, standing structure, site, district, or other property that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the State Register of Historic Places, locally designated as a historic site, or are determined to meet the criteria for eligibility. Figure 5-8. Fish Creek Archeology Site AVE CARVER ST. PAUL 494 §¨ ¦ RAMSEY COUNTY WASHINGTON COUNTY City Boundary MRCCA Boundary 00.150.3Miles ° As generally indicated by Figure 5-8, Archeology Site 21RA54 is partially located inside the east MRCCA boundary in Maplewood. This site has been recommended as potentially eligible to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the archaeological investigation completed in 2015 for the Ramsey County and Maplewood Area Historical Societies and the City of Maplewood. A total of 68 artifacts were recovered, primarily pre-contact. Other recommendations as part of the investigation include: recreational development in the area should avoid directly crossing the site and that interpretive signage should be incorporated. Unstable Soils & Bedrock Soil is mixture of sand, gravel, silts, clay, water, and air. The stability of soil can be attributed to the mix of these ingredients and other factors that cause frost action, high saturation depth, steep slopes, low soil strength, ponding, high shrink-swell rates, subsidence and other soil stability issues. alluvium. Karst formations are a form of unstable bedrock and are areas were sinkholes, springs, caverns, and stream sinks may exist. As seen in Figure 5-9, unstable soils exist, but are limited within the MRCCA boundary in Maplewood. The majority of soils that exist within the area are Mahtomedi loamy sand (454). Slopes on Mahtomedi loamy sand soils range from 0 to 40 percent, but those above 12 percent (454D-F) are unstable. Other unstable soils include Cathro Muck (544), Mahtomedi-Kinglsey complex (896D), and Mahtomedi variant - Rock complex (1820F).

In Minnesota, surface karst features primarily occur where 50 feet or less of unconsolidated material overlie Paleozoic carbonate bedrock, the St. Peter Sandstone, or the Mesoproterozoic Hinckley Sandstone. Though no known karst features exist within the MRCCA boundary in Maplewood, the St. Peter Sandstone lies within the highlighted area in Figure 5-9, and therefore may be prone to karst feature development. Public River Corridor Views Public river corridor views (PRCVs) are views toward the river from public parkland, historic properties, and public overlooks, as well as views toward bluffs from the ordinary high water level of the opposite shore, as seen during the summer months. PRCVs are deemed highly valued by the community and are worth protecting because of the aesthetic value they bring to the MRCCA. Phase 2 of the community engagement process for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan provided information on the Critical Area Plan online and at community open houses. This included sharing the public river corridor view. Conversations throughout the process indicated that many are unaware a view to the Mississippi River exists in the Fish Creek Preserve. As part of the Met Council’s 6-month adjacent community plan review process Maplewood considered comments from South St. Paul about the views they valued looking across the river to Maplewood. 2040 Comprehensive Plan 5-92 MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 Views Toward the River from Public Places The existing tree canopy in Maplewood and St. Paul limits the views toward the Mississippi River from public places within the MRCCA Boundary in Maplewood. One public view that exists within Maplewood in the MRCCA boundary is through the trees at Fish Creek Preserve looking towards the river and downtown St. Paul. The view is valuable to Maplewood because it is a geographically distinct view of recognizable features. The view, as seen in Figure 5-10, includes both a view of the Mississippi River corridor and a view Figure 5-10.

C Views Toward Bluffs from the Ordinary High AL Water Level of the Opposite Shore The ordinary high water level (OHWL) of the Mississippi River does not lie A within Maplewood and therefor views towards bluffs on the opposite shore REA PLAN from the OHWL do not exist in Maplewood. As seen in Figure 5-12, some views toward the bluffs in Maplewood within the MRCCA boundary from the opposite shore of the Mississippi River are limited due to the separated nature of Maplewood to the Mississippi River. Views towards the bluffs in Maplewood stretch across multiple jurisdictions including South St. Paul MAPLEWOOD (Dakota County), Newport (Washington County), and St. Paul (Ramsey County). Figure 5-12.

Proper development of these facilities can minimize their impacts on the CRITI MRCCA. As seen in Figure 5-16, public transportation facilities and public utilities are limited within the MRCCA boundary in Maplewood. A small sliver of Interstate C AL 494 roadway exists in the southeast corner of the MRCCA boundary and one municipal road serving single family homes lies within the northeast corner of A the boundary. The new asphalt loop trail in Fish Creek Preserve exists within REA PLAN the boundary. Single family homes that exist within northern quarter of the MRCCA boundary are served by underground public utilities. No major public transportation or public utility improvements (solar, wind, or other power generation) are planned within the MRCCA boundary in Issues & Opportunities Issues within the MRCCA in Maplewood are limited due to the mostly natural state of the land within the boundary. Though some issues may exist, particularly related to the residential uses located within the MRCCA boundary. These uses may pose an issue if there is future expansion of structures towards bluff impact zones or unstable soils or if impervious surfaces are added leading to the potential for more stormwater runoff or non-point source pollution into MRCCA natural drainageways. As mentioned earlier, steps have already been taken to restore native plant communities within the Fish Creek Preserve. Future opportunities may exist to restore native plant communities on residential properties in the MRCCA. Opportunities also exist to connect to neighboring planned trails such as highlighted in the Fish Creek Master Plan Concept presents great opportunity for people to experience the MRCCA corridor in a noninvasive manner. 2040 Comprehensive Plan MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 HEALTHRESILIENCE EQUITYAGE- FRIENDLINESS The Icons above are used to reference the guiding principles, which describe community values that are intended to be achieved through the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.

Stories were shared of families trying to find housing in the community or trying to return to Maplewood after leaving for another community. While there are many characteristics that create great neighborhoods, quality, affordable housing is one of the fundamental elements. As a mature community, Maplewood will need to focus on encouraging maintenance and reinvestment in its housing, as well as supporting redevelopment that can increase the variety of housing types available, take advantage of transit investments, and replace housing that is at the end of its life-cycle. 6-104 2040 Comprehensive Plan MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 The livability and appearance of neighborhoods and the housing within them, is a quality of life indicator for the City.

The City is seeing some increase in the variety in the types of housing units being constructed with more townhomes, rowhouses, and apartments in new developments. Senior housing has also been a recent focus with projects offering a range of options, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The general housing types and where they are located include: » Single-Family Detached - typically found in low density land use residential categories. » Single-Family Attached - includes twin homes, duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes and is typically found in medium density residential, high density residential, and mixed use areas of the community. » Multi-Family - consists of apartments and condominiums and is found in high density residential and mixed use areas.

Maplewood Existing Housing Housing Tenure (2015) Maplewood has traditionally had a higher than average percentage of owner- occupied housing units. A comparison of 2000 to 2015 data shows the owner-occupancy rate has dropped slightly from 76% to 73%. As of 2015, the community reported a total of 11,498 owner-occupied units and 4,357 renter- Renter- occupied units.occupied 27% Vacancy The City of Maplewood has traditionally reported lower overall housing Owner- vacancies (across all units) compared to averages for the metro area, and occupied nationally.

HOUSING low- and moderate- income households are available in manufactured home parks and in a variety of types and locations of multi-family dwellings. The move-up housing market is strong with these choices available throughout the City, including in the Hillside, Vista Hills, Highwood and Kohlman Lake neighborhoods. The cost of housing is a concern that was raised throughout the planning process and is not isolated to Maplewood. Housing costs affect the ability of individuals and families of all ages to settle and remain in the community. like Maplewood, the need for new housing to occur through redevelopment also raises the cost as land assembly, clearance, and site preparations are required. These costs often result in the need for redevelopment to include medium or high density products so costs can be spread across more units.

The study concluded that cities in the area were not well informed about low- income affordable housing availability and had not made affordable housing more development friendly, through regulation flexibility. The League of Women Voters recommends that the cities need to pursue improvement in the following areas: Frost English Village » Providing for a full range of affordable housing opportunities in each city. » Preserving and improving current affordable housing. » Promoting greater awareness of rental housing subsidy usage and linking low-income residents to support services. » Supporting incentives that make development / rehabilitation more attractive to developers. » Maintaining and regulating rental properties. » Considering the inclusion of affordable housing on lands that are to be developed. » When licensing landlords, urge or require them to list if their units are affordable.

There are only a few undeveloped areas that are large enough to accommodate new subdivisions. medium density, high density, and mixed use residential development as part of redevelopment projects. Affordable Housing Through its regional planning efforts, the Metropolitan Council has prioritized housing affordability in the Thrive MSP 2040 Regional Policy. The Metropolitan Council calculated for each community an allocation of affordable housing needed to meet the rising need of affordable housing across the Twin Cities metropolitan region. Housing is considered “affordable” when no more than 30% of household income goes to housing. The basis for determining affordability is Area Median Income (AMI), which is the midpoint of the Twin Cities region’s income distribution such that half of households earn more and half earn less. For purposes of Comprehensive Plans, the Metropolitan Council has established three levels of affordability: 1) At or below 30% of AMI; 2) Between 31 and 50% of AMI; and 3) Between 51 and 80% of AMI. the maximum income by household size for each level of affordability the potential that with an additional person there is an additional income City of Maplewood 6-113 MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 higher affordability category to a lower one. (e.g. from 50% to 30%). The Metropolitan Council has selected the four-person household thresholds as a general measurement for affordable housing needs at each income level. Table 6-6.

The breakdown by affordability level is provided in Table 6-8. The way that communities accomplish this affordable housing allocation is by designating adequate vacant land or redevelopable land at minimum densities (units/acre) that are high enough for affordable housing to be an option. Essentially, the more units/acre allowed on a site, the less cost per unit to be built, which makes the development an option for affordable housing developers as well as market-rate developers. The affordable housing allocation does not mean that the City must force the building of this many affordable units by 2030. Rather, through future land use guidance, the City needs to ensure that the opportunity for affordable housing exists by having adequate vacant or redeveloped land guided for higher densities to meet the stated share. 2040 Comprehensive Plan 6-114 MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 Table 6-8.

According to the Metropolitan Council, any residential future land use designation that has a minimum density of 8 units per acre or more can count towards affordable housing allocation calculations. The following table features all future land use designations for Maplewood and their minimum units per acre. Table 6-10.

As seen in the table above, the net developable or redevelopable acres of each applicable land use have been multiplied by the minimum units per acre to determine the minimum number of units that could be developed on this available land. The mixed use land use categories only require a proportion of their developable land to be residential, so those percentages apply to the unit count for this calculation. Note: we utilize net developable acreage which removes areas where units cannot be built, such as right-of- way, open water, and wetlands. Residential, Mixed Use – Neighborhood, Mixed Use – Neighborhood High Density, or Mixed Use - Community, Maplewood is more than able to meet its allocation of affordable housing need as the percentage of residential will likely be higher than the minimum required for the three mixed use categories.

The Plan contains use rain gardens or curbs information for the City that includes the best available water resource data with drains to control water at the time the plan was completed, up-to-date design standards, and a flow process to adjust goals and implementation actions as new data is evaluated. » Concern for water quality in Wakefield Lake provided in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, this SWMP will serve to: » Concern for flooding and » Provide the framework for management, improvement and protection of high water near Minnehaha the City’s surface water resources Avenue » Contribute to the quality of life by preserving and enhancing the high environmental quality of the community » Protect public investments and private property related to or affected by surface water » Help to understand the larger context of surface water management issues in relation to land use and land use policy » Balance environmental protection and enhancement needs with economic needs and capabilities » Meet regulatory requirements Basis for the Plan The Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources (BWSR) provides guidance resources for Metro Area Surface Water Management Plans. These Statutes and Rules require the preparation of watershed plans by watershed management organizations (WMOs) and watershed districts (WDs) and the preparation of local water management plans that are consistent with the respective WMO/WD plans. The most current SWMPs applicable to Maplewood are the: » Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (RWMWD) 2017-2026 Watershed Management Plan, adopted in April 2017 » Capital Region Watershed District (CRWD) 2010 Watershed Management Plan, adopted in September 2010 and amended in 2015 » Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD) 2015-2025 Watershed Management Plan, adopted September 2015 The purpose of the SWMP is that through policies and thoughtful program implementation, goals for proper water and wetland resource management can be realized and water quality can be protected. Through proper planning and implementation, informed decisions can be made which allow for the protection and/or enhancement of water quality, prevention of ground water City of Maplewood 13-249 MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 Plan Overview Using the nine goals summarized in Table 13-4, the Plan will serve as a guide for surface water and water resource management activities over at least the next ten years. SURFACE WATER Though long term in focus, the Plan has numerous future decision points related to recommended capital improvements and ongoing inspection, maintenance and monitoring activities. The Plan was developed recognizing the need for proper land utilization and growth and, at the same time, emphasizing the need to prioritize management actions and decisions based on the assigned category of a receiving water body (i.e., lake, stream, wetland, pond). Table 13-1.

These issues include: » Meeting the City’s goals for improved water quality and the related requirements of the impaired waters program; » » Meeting the challenges of an increased need for maintenance of the public and private stormwater system including testing and removal of accumulated sediments in stormwater ponds and routine maintenance of the many small rain gardens and similar green infrastructure practices; » Coordinating efforts with natural resource improvement activities to explore, identify and implement cost-effective approaches. » Cooperating with the watershed agency partners that play a lead role in water quality monitoring and management to implement improvements throughout the City; and potentially increased funding for the surface water management program into the future. Water Quality and Impaired Waters Maplewood has eight waters on the most recent impaired waters List prepared by the MPCA and approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Table 13-5 provides a summary of the affected use and pollutant or stressor for each of these waters. While impaired waters remain, Carver Lake, Beaver Lake and Keller Lake were previously impaired for aquatic recreation (nutrient/eutrophication indicators) but have seen improvement and were removed from the impaired list in 2014. Of the listed pollutants in Table 13-2 the City is really only positioned to address the nutrient (i.e., phosphorus) impairments through implementation of stormwater management practices and implementation of its design standards, and chloride impairments through improvement deicing program management. According to the MPCA’s Statewide Mercury TMDL Study, with approximately 90 percent originating from outside the state. Because mercury has regional TMDL implications, little effort will be placed on TMDL recommendations related to mercury for these waters as part of this planning effort.

More detail on the progress of the statewide mercury TMDL process can be found on the MPCA’s website. The City will consider the impaired waters in future management decisions and actively manage the activities in the contributing watersheds to limit the delivery of these pollutants (primarily nutrients, sediment and chlorides) to these waters. The City’s Living Streets Policy and updated engineering design standards will help to reduce the levels of phosphorus entering receiving waters. 2040 Comprehensive Plan 13-252 MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 Flooding and Maintenance of the System life and property and reduce the burden of maintaining the system. As weather trends are showing higher intensity storm events, the potential for awareness on the need to maintain the storm water conveyance system so that it functions well during the design storm events as well as the more extreme events that can exceed the design capacity of the system. The City requires all stormwater infrastructure, development and redevelopment projects to use updated Atlas 14 rainfall frequency data in their analysis and design process to account for the latest weather trends. While some debris blockages of pipes and structures will almost certainly continue to occur, the efforts placed on identifying problem areas, conducting maintenance and/ or installing physical improvements, will reduce the potential for problems or reduce the extent of damages resulting from extreme events. In July of 2011, the City experienced one of those extreme events that caused following the storm event and has continued to address the remaining sites 2011 event that remain to be addressed. These are will be studied on a more regional basis and improvements are anticipated to be incorporated into the City’s annual street reconstruction projects for these areas. Construction of any recommended improvements will be completed as part of 2019 and 2020 street reconstruction projects. The City understands that as future extreme storm events hit portions of the City, new areas of concern may arise. In addition, evaluating the existing drainage and conveyance system as part of the annual street maintenance program will be a critical element of the City’s system network is illustrated in Figure 13-1. Connection of Surface Water and Natural Resources The Natural Resources Chapter of this Plan covers all aspects of natural resources management, including the lakes, ponds, wetlands and stream that are directly addressed in this Surface Water Chapter. The City’s surface water management program is directly connected to its management of Natural Resources through programs and improvements such as the City’s existing Living Streets Policy, restored prairie landscapes at three preserves and ongoing efforts related to education. These all have direct impacts on the quality of surface waters within the City. As it has for decades, the City’s approach to coordinating surface water management needs with natural resources management will continue to help maximize the overall City of Maplewood 13-253 MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 Figure 13-1. Watershed and Drainage Areas SURFACE WATER 2040 Comprehensive Plan 13-254 MARCH 2018 PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT I2, Attachment 4 Partnerships and Funding The City currently has a storm water utility in place named the Environmental Utility Fund (EUF). The EUF was established in 2003 and funds storm water management related costs including educational efforts through the Nature Center programs, construction of treatment systems throughout the City and maintenance of the overall storm water treatment and conveyance systems including storm sewer maintenance and street sweeping. The City will rely primarily on the EUF, along with leveraging the grant opportunities available to implement the goals and activities of this Plan. with the local watershed organizations, Ramsey County, and other project- quality improvements and enhance other natural resources to help reduce the cost of doing the stormwater improvements as standalone projects.. These efforts will be needed and are a priority for the City on public capital improvement projects, storm water system and utility maintenance activities, public outreach and education activities and on private development and redevelopment projects. This cooperative approach will allow the City to leverage the limited funding that is currently available. Actions / Implementation Plan The overall implementation program includes a mixture of capital improvement projects, studies, ongoing maintenance, inspection, monitoring and other recommended management activities over the next 10 years. Estimated costs are not provided, recognizing that they can set unrealistic expectations of the actual costs of projects and/or activities. The costs for each action will be developed through more detailed assessments as projects will be included in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan on an annual basis. The City’s water bodies and wetlands are truly exceptional resources for City residents and thus water quality is one of the priority areas for future program efforts. City lakes and water resources offer a range of recreational opportunities and some are truly exceptional resources from a water quality perspective. Others are impaired for various pollutants and have a reduced value due to those impairments. Flooding issues are another key area for the City to focus efforts on in the coming years. There are several 20 areas throughout the City. While many of these areas have since been addressed, a few remain and are anticipated to be studied and addressed in 2018-2020.. The Implementation Plan is a suggested course of action that will accomplish development and redevelopment in the community while protecting and improving Maplewood’s surface water resources. Infrastructure replacements and/or additions will be reviewed, approved and administered in accordance with Maplewood’s Capital Improvement Plan.

The City previously had 135 SSTS in 2003 and 112 in 2010. The vast-majority of these systems are located south of Linwood Avenue. The City’s goal is to phase out the use of SSTS within Maplewood as practical and feasible. Additional information on the SSTS in the southern portion of Maplewood south is provided in the South Maplewood Sewer Study, prepared by SEH, Inc. dated May 19, 2003. Each year, the City prepares an Annual SSTS Report summarizing the status of the SSTS sites. This report states which sites have sewer available and which sites are required to connect to the City sewer. In conjunction with a Ramsey County program, the City sends post cards every three years to each of the SSTS owners. Upon the receipt of the post card, the owner of the SSTS On January 28, 2002, the City of Maplewood approved City Ordinance Section 9-950 regulating the location, design, installation, use and maintenance of SSTS within Maplewood. The ordinance became effective on June 1, 2002. The City’s current SSTS Ordinance is found in Chapter 40, Article II, Division 5.

The survey was conducted in early 2018 and the City recently received the results. Staff will present the highlights of the survey results. Background The National Citizen Survey™ (The NCS) report is about the “livability” of Maplewood. The phrase “livable community” is used here to evoke a place that is not simply habitable, but that is desirable. It is not only where people do live, but where they wantto live. Great communities are partnerships of the government, private sector, community-based organizations and residents, all geographically connected. The NCS captures residents’ opinions within the three pillars of a community (Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation) across eight central facets of community (Safety, Mobility, Natural Environment, Built Environment, Economy, Recreation and Wellness, Education and Enrichment and Community Engagement). The Community Livability Report provides the opinions of a representative sample of 383 residents of the City of Maplewood. The margin of error around any reported percentage is 5% for all respondents. Budget Impact None. Recommendation No action is required.

The margin of error around any reported percentage is 5% for all respondents. The full description of methods used to garner these opinions can be found in the Technical Appendices provided under separate Government cover. Packet Page Number 129 of 247 J2, Attachment 1 Quality of Life in Overall Quality of Life Maplewood Excellent Mostresidents (75%) rated the quality of life in Maplewoodas excellent 15% or good.This was similar to ratings given in other communities across Good the nation (see Appendix B of the Technical Appendices provided under Poor 60% 3% separate cover). Shown below are the eight facets of community. The color of each Fair community facet summarizes how residents rated it across the three 22% sections of the survey that represent the pillars of a community – Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation. When most ratings across the three pillars were higher than the benchmark, the color for that facet is the darkest shade; when most ratings were lower than the benchmark, the color is the lightest shade. A mix of ratings (higher and lower than the benchmark) results in a color between the extremes. In addition to a summary of ratings, the image below includes one or more stars to indicate which community facets were the most important focus areas for the community. Residents identified Safety and Economy as priorities for the Maplewoodcommunity in the coming two years.These facets, as well as all other facets of community livability, received ratings similar to the national benchmark. This overview of the key aspects of community quality provides a quick summary of where residents see exceptionally strong performance and where performance offers the greatest opportunity for improvement. Linking quality to importance offers community members and leaders a view into the characteristics of the community that matter most and that seem to be working best. Details that support these findings are contained in the remainder of this Livability Report, starting with the ratings for Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation and ending with results for Maplewood’s unique questions.

In addition to rating the cityas a place to live, respondents rated several aspects of community quality including Maplewoodas a place to raise children and to retire, their neighborhood as a place to live,the overall image or reputation of Maplewood and its overall appearance. At least 6 in 10 residents favorably rated most of the general aspects of community quality and these ratings were similar to the national benchmark.About half of residents gave positive ratings to the overall image of the city, which was lower than ratings given in other communities. Delving deeper into Community Characteristics, survey respondents rated over 40 features of the community within the eight facetsof Community Livability. Most aspects of Community Characteristics were given favorable reviews by at least 6 in 10 residents and all were rated similar to or higher than the benchmark. Abouttwo-thirds of survey respondents or more gave positive ratings to all aspects of Safety, Natural Environment and Recreation and Wellness. Further, ratings for traffic flow, availability of affordable quality housing, shopping opportunities and availability of affordable quality mental health care were all higher than the national benchmark.

About 7 in 10 residents gave positive marks to the overall quality of City services and nearly 4 in 10 favorably rated the services provided by the Federal Government. Both of these ratings weresimilar to the national average. Survey respondents also rated various aspects of Maplewood’s leadership and governance. About three-quarters of respondents gave excellent or good ratings to the customer service provided by the City while 4 in 10 were pleased with the value of services for taxes paid. Roughly half of residents were pleased with the remaining aspects of government performance and all of these weresimilar to the national benchmark. Respondents evaluated over 30 individual services and amenitiesavailablein Maplewood. All service ratings in Maplewood were similar to those given in other communities across the nation. The highest-rated services tended to fall into the areas of Safety, Recreation and Wellness and Natural Environment. Services in these areas were often rated positivelyby at least 8 in 10 residents. When compared to 2004, several Mobility-related services declined over time, while evaluations for drinking water, storm drainage, and land use, planning and zoning improved in 2018.

The connections and trust among residents, government, businesses and other organizations helpto createa sense of community, a shared sense of membership, belonging and history. Nearly half of residents gave excellent or good ratings to the sense of community in Maplewood, which was lower than ratings seen elsewhere. About 8 in 10 residents planned to remain in Maplewood for the next five years and would recommend living in the city to someone who asked, while about 4 in 10 had contacted City employees in the 12 months prior to the survey. These ratings were similar to the national benchmark. The survey included over 30 activities and behaviors for which respondents indicated how often they participated in or performed each, if at all. Participation rates varied widely across the different facets, making the benchmark comparison (as well as the comparison to Maplewood over time) helpful for understanding the results. Overall, Maplewood residents participated in most activities at rates similar to those found in other communities across the country. For about 20 of the 30 participation measures gauged in the survey, Maplewood residents’ ratings were similar to the rest of the nation. Behaviors reported less frequently in Maplewood than elsewhere related to working within the city, walking or biking instead of driving, and participating in a number of social and civic activities. Virtually all residents recycled at home, which was a higher level than seen elsewhere and an increase since 2004.

Packet Page Number 140 of 247 J2, Attachment 2 Maplewood, MN Dashboard Summary of Findings 2018 Packet Page Number 141 of 247 J2, Attachment 2 Summary The National Citizen Survey™ (The NCS™) is a collaborative effort between National Research Center, Inc. (NRC) and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA). The survey and its administration are standardized to assure high quality research methods and directly comparable results across The NCS communities. The NCS captures residents’ opinions within the three pillars of a community (Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation) across eight central facets of community (Safety, Mobility, Natural Environment, Built Environment, Economy, Recreation and Wellness, Education and Enrichment and Community Engagement). This report summarizes Maplewood’s performance in the eight facets of community livability with the “General” rating as a summary of results from the overarching questions not shown within any of the eight facets. The “Overall” represents the community pillar in its entirety (the eight facets and general). By summarizing resident ratings across the eight facets and three pillars of a livable community, a picture of Maplewood’s community livability emerges. Below, the color of each community facet summarizes how residents rated each of the pillars that support it – Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation. When most ratings were higher than the benchmark, the color is the darkest shade; when most ratings were lower than the benchmark, the color is the lightest shade. A mix of ratings (higher andlower than the benchmark) results in a color between the extremes. Broadly, ratings for all facets across all three pillars of community livability were similar to ratings given in other communities across the nation, except for levels of Participation within Education and Enrichment, which were lower than average.

The responsibilities are in two primary areas: i) compliance with federal arbitrage requirements COMPLIANCE: and ii) compliance with secondary disclosure requirements. Federal arbitrage requirements include a wide range of implications that have been taken into account as this issue has been structured. Post-issuance compliance responsibilities for this tax-exempt issue include both rebate and yield restriction provisions of the IRS Code. In general terms the arbitrage requirements control the earnings on unexpended bond proceeds, including investment earnings, moneys held for debt service payments (which are considered to be proceeds under the IRS regulations), and/or reserves. Under tax-exempt status of the Bonds. Any interest earnings on gross bond proceeds or debt service funds should not be spent until it has been determined based on actual facts that The arbitrage rules provide for spend-down exceptions for proceeds that are spent within either a 6-month, 18-month or 24-month period in accordance with certain spending criteria. Proceeds that qualify for an exception will be exempt from rebate. These exceptions are based on actual expenditures and not based on reasonable expectations; and expenditures, including any investment proceeds, will have to meet the spending criteria to qualify for the exclusion. The City expects to meet the 18-month spending exception. Regardless of whether the issue qualifies for an exemption from the rebate provisions, yield restriction provisions will apply to the debt service fund and any project proceeds unspent after three years and the funds should be monitored on an ongoing basis. Secondary disclosure requirements result from an SEC requirement that underwriters provide ongoing disclosure information to investors. To meet this requirement, any prospective underwriter will require the City to commit to providing the information needed to comply under a continuing disclosure agreement. Springsted and the City have entered into an Agreement for Municipal Advisor Services under which Springsted provides arbitrage and continuing disclosure services to the City, including the Bonds. Supplementary information will be available to staff including detailed terms and conditions SUPPLEMENTAL of sale, comprehensive structuring schedules and information to assist in meeting post- INFORMATION AND issuance compliance responsibilities. BOND RECORD: Upon completion of the financing, a bond record will be provided that contains pertinent documents and final debt service calculations for the transaction. PURPOSE:Proceeds of the Bonds along with additional City sources of funds in the amount of $3,655,550, and detailed on the sources and uses schedule attached will be used to finance the following: two street improvement projects: Farrell/Ferndale Area and Londin/Highpoint Area the construction of a park facility building at Wakefield Porti Page 2 Packet Page Number 152 of 247 J, Attachment 2 AUTHORITY: Statutory Authority: The Bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 429, 469 and 475. Statutory Requirements: Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, at least 20% of the he project(s) must be paid from special assessments. The street improvement projects being financed with the Improvement Bond Portion meet this requirement. Pursuant to Chapter 469, specifically Sections 469.1812 469.1815, the City must specify the public benefit of the abatement, identify properties located within its jurisdiction whose value will equal the proposed amount of abatement and the term of the abatement, and comply with the public hearing requirements. A public hearing will be held on May 14, 2018, which will establish the properties that will benefit from the public improvements, the maximum principal amount of the abatement and the term of the abatement as detailed below. SECURITY AND The Bonds are a general obligation of the City, secured by its full faith and credit and taxing power. The Bonds will be repaid with a combination of ad valorem tax levies, SOURCE OF special assessments filed against benefited properties and available tax abatement PAYMENT: revenue as detailed below: Improvement Bond Portion Assessments in the principal amount of $1,307,559, will be filed in the fall of 2018 and collected over a term of 15 years with level payments of principal and interest. Interest on the unpaid balance will be charged at a rate of 5.0% Additionally, the City will be required to levy taxes to pay a portion of the debt service on the Improvement Bond Portion not paid from assessments. The City will make their first levy for the Improvement Bond Portion in 2018 for collection in 2019. E collection of taxes and assessments will be used to make the interest payment due on August 1 of the collection year and the principal and interest payment due February 1 of the following year. The interest payment due on February 1, 2019 will be prior to collections of assessments or taxes; therefore, the City will use cash on hand to make this payment. Tax Abatement Bond Portion - available tax abatement revenue pledged to the Tax Abatement Bond Portion and derived from certain abated parcels within the City will be used to make the principal payments. Interest payments will be made with any surplus tax abatement revenues available after being applied to make the principal payment. It is anticipated that the City will levy general ad valorem taxes to make the interest payments on the Tax Abatement Bond Portion. The City will make their first levy for the Tax Abatement Bond Portion in 2018 for collection to make the interest payment due on August 1 of the collection year and the principal and interest payment due February 1 of the following year. The interest payment due on February 1, 2019 will be prior to any collections of tax levies; therefore, the City will use cash on hand to make this payment. Page 3 Packet Page Number 153 of 247 J, Attachment 2 STRUCTURING In consultation with the City, the Bonds have been structured by statutory authority as SUMMARY: Improvement Bond Portion debt service has been structured for a repayment term of 15 years around the projected assessment revenue to result in approximately level annual tax levy requirement. Tax Abatement Bond Portion debt service has been amortized over a term of 15 years to result in an approximately level annual debt service requirement. The estimated interest rates applied in the structuring of the Bonds are based on current market conditions and assume a reoffering premium. The current structure shows the ecompensation being applied to reduce the borrowing amount for the Bonds. The City has the option to apply the premium or a portion of it to downsize the issue, apply it towards additional project needs or as a deposit to the debt service fund. Schedules attached for the Bonds include sources and uses, pricing summary, debt SCHEDULES service schedules for the Bonds as a whole and by purpose, and projected assessment ATTACHED: income. RISKS/SPECIAL The outcome of this financing will rely on the market conditions at the time of the sale. Any CONSIDERATIONS: projections included herein are estimates based on current market conditions. Levy projections for the Improvement Bond Portion are based on the estimated assessment income. If actual assessment collections are different than projected, the resulting levy requirement could differ significantly from what is projected in these schedules. Additionally, the Bonds have been structured to result in additional proceeds generated from a premium bid. There is no guaranty that the winning bidder will price Bonds with a premium in the amount that we have estimated, which could result in less or more additional proceeds than what is currently shown in the attached schedules. SALE TERMS AND Variability of Issue Size: A specific provision in the sale terms permits modifications to the MARKETING:issue size and/or maturity structure to customize the issue once the price and interest rates are set on the day of sale. Prepayment Provisions: Bonds maturing on or after February 1, 2027 may be prepaid at a price of par plus accrued interest on or after February 1, 2026. Bank Qualification: The City does not expect to issue more than $10 million in tax-exempt obligations that count against the $10 million limit for this calendar year; therefore, the Bonds are designated as bank qualified.

The City has hired Bob Vose from Kennedy & Graven to assist with the renewal. To help determinefuture needs and review past performance, a cable needs assessment report is typically done. That report has now been completed and is being presented to Council for approval. Background Maplewood issued a cable franchise to Comcast in November of 1999. This franchise was for a 15 year period. In 2014, with the franchise renewal date coming due, an extension was granted through July 31, 2018. With the new renewal date coming, and Comcast wishing to renew its franchise, the City has begun its required work to do so. As the City is no longer a member of a Cable Commission, it is the City’s responsibility to negotiate the terms of the new franchise agreement itself. To assist the City in this process, Mr. Bob Vose from the firm Kennedy & Graven has been hired. Mr. Vose has extensive experience with the cable franchise renewal process and on November 6, 2017 presented an overview of the renewal process to Council. One of the steps in the renewal process that Mr. Vose explained is the process of identifying future needs and reviewing past performance. Council directed staff to complete this work in house initially, knowing that it could seek a consultant if need be during negotiations, and the needs assessment presented to you is the result of that direction. In creating the report, stafftook a two-pronged approach by gathering input from Maplewood stakeholders as well as reviewing existing research from neighboring communities. Maplewood’s Communications staff played a large role in identifying current and future programming and equipment needs. Surveys seeking input on programming were sent to all Maplewood Commission & Council members. A public hearing was held to receive public comment. Reports and studies performed by two neighboring Cable Commissions were reviewed. These conversations and studies provide the data that the findings are based on. Given the information collected and analysis performed during this study, staff has compiled a number of community cable related needs and where applicable, recommendations to meet those needs, that will help the Cityduring negotiations with Comcast. This item is asking for Council approval on this report only. Once this report is approved, negotiations with Comcast will commence and the result of those negotiations will be brought before Council for approval. Packet Page Number 161 of 247 J4 Budget Impact The renewal of the cable franchise with Comcast includes the negotiations of franchise and PEG fees which ultimately will have impact on the City’s budget. However, at this point, there is no budget impact associated with this presentation. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Council approve the City & Community Cable Needs Assessment.

A copywassent to all council membersprior to the council meeting.A copywill alsobeavailable in the council chambers during the meeting on Monday night. The study includes information on the proposed improvements, costs, and financing. The City Councilwill consider accepting the feasibility study, authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications, and orderinga public hearingto be held on April 23, 2018. Background th The Farrell-Ferndale area streets are generally bounded by 7Street East on the north, Century Avenue (TH120) on the east, Conway Avenue on the south, and Carlton Street on the west (see attached project location map). This project is a part of the approved 2017-2018 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The City Council ordered the preparation of the feasibility study for this project on August 14, 2017. The proposed project includes approximately 2.3 miles of streets which have an average pavement condition index (PCI) rating of 32(on a scale of 1 to 100) according to the most recent street rating survey. These streets have continued to deteriorate over the years and are in need of replacement. The majority of the project streets have no concrete curb or gutter, with runoff being channeled along the street edge, further deteriorating the pavement. Area storm sewer is limited, with significant drainage improvements necessary to control runoff and meet City and Watershed District volume reduction requirements. As part of this project it is anticipated that the cast iron water mains will need to be replaced due to past break history and that they are susceptible to future breaks. Additionally, repairs to the sanitary sewer system are also anticipated. The proposed project will also include a fog seal preventative maintenance treatment and sanitary sewer main lining. The location for both of these two items will be determined during the design phase. The aging and deteriorating condition of roadsshown on the project location mappresents an ongoing maintenance problem for the City of Maplewood Street Department. The condition of the existing streetsalso represents a decreased level of service for the residents of Maplewood, with the City receiving numerous complaints from area residents about substandard street conditions. Packet Page Number 217 of 247 J5 Staff held aninformational neighborhood meeting on November 17, 2017 at the Maplewood Community Center. The meeting included a presentation, question and answer session, neighborhood brainstorming session, and one-on-one conversations with city staff. Items discussed at thismeeting included the public improvement process, the construction process, existing conditions within the project area, proposed improvements, proposed assessments, and an estimated project timeline. Staff mailed out the invitation to 168property owners. Approximately 60residents attended the meeting. The majority of the conversation revolved around the potential for sidewalks onall neighborhood streets. Nearlyall residents in attendance were opposed to the proposed sidewalks. Other items noted by residents at the neighborhood meeting included the need for additional street lighting, concerns about concrete curb and gutter,and existing drainage issues throughout the project streets. Following the neighborhood meeting, Staff reviewed the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Parks Master Plan, and Living Streets policy to see what guidance these documents provided for sidewalks and trails in the project area. Staff also mapped the location of existing sidewalks and trails in the region along with those being proposed for the future. After considering all of this information, along with the feedback heard from residents at the neighborhood meeting, staff created a feasibility sidewalk layout map. This layout map, along with a letter explaining the new sidewalk layout, was mailed to project residents on December 29, 2017. Staff have had a number of conversations via phone and email since the last mailing. The majority of thediscussions surrounded the revised sidewalk layout. In particular, many conversations have been th had with residents along 7Street between Century Avenue and the Nature Center. The residents in th this area are opposed to concrete curb and gutter and a sidewalk proposed along the north side of 7 Street. The residents in this area submitted a petition in February 2018 in opposition to sidewalks and concrete curb and gutter, citing concerns such as the potential for increased crime due to encouraging pedestrian access to the neighborhood, concerns over pedestrian safety along Century Avenue, concerns over privacy with the proximity of the sidewalk to area homes, and concerns over backing out of driveways with narrower streets and on street parking. Additional neighborhood meetings and correspondence are planned throughout the public improvement process to continue conversations with area residents and to ensure that everyone affected by the potential project is well informed. Discussion Theexisting public infrastructure forthestreets in theproject areas generally consistsof a bituminous pavement section, limited storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water utilities. The proposed project will include the full reconstruction of the area streets.Full reconstruction of these streets will include removal and replacement of the existing aggregate base and bituminous. The street reconstruction will also include sub grade corrections consisting of replacing the sub grade fill material with a sand subbase, drain tile, and a geo-textile fabric.The project would also include the installation of concrete curb and gutter on all project streets. Major upgrades to the utilities within the project area are proposed as well. These include the full replacement of the watermain, repairs to the sanitary sewer system, and a significant expansion of the drainage system in the area. Additional improvements, including sidewalk extensions, bituminous fog sealing, and sanitary sewer lining have also been included with this project. These improvements are further detailed in the feasibility report. Packet Page Number 218 of 247 J5 The feasibility studyfound that the proposed project is feasible, necessary, and cost effective from an engineering standpoint.If the study is accepted along with authorization for preparation of plans and specifications, then a Public Hearing will be scheduled for April 23, 2018. The Public Hearing is the meeting atwhich the residents have the opportunity to comment on the proposedimprovements. In order to proceed with the project, a super majority vote is needed for ordering of the improvement after public testimony is receivedat the Public Hearing.

The bid opening for this project is tentatively proposed for 10:00 a.m., Friday, May 4, 2018. The next step after approving the advertisement for bids is ordering the preparation of the assessment roll. The City Council willconsider approving the plans and specifications and advertising for bids for the Londin-Highpoint Area Street Improvements, City Project 17-19. Additionally, the City Council will consider ordering the preparation of the assessment roll. Background The feasibility report was accepted and plans ordered to design at theJanuary 22, 2018City Council meeting. On March 12, 2018the project was ordered after the Public Hearing was held. It is anticipated an Assessment Hearing will be held on May 14, 2018with an award of bid considered on that date as well. An open house meeting will be scheduled for the project area prior to the Assessment Hearing to answer questions about assessments and the assessment process. Additionally, staff will be available to answer any questions about the proposed improvements and the construction process. Discussion TheLondin-HighpointArea Street Improvements project, City Project 17-19consists of the streets generally lying north of Mailand Road, east of McKnight Road, and southand westof Lower Afton Road. These streets are part of the City’s2018- 2022 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The aging and deteriorating condition of roadsshown on the project location map presents an ongoing maintenance problem for the City of Maplewood Street Department. The condition of the existing streetsalso represents a decreased level of service for the residents of Maplewood, with the City receiving numerous complaints from area residents about substandard street conditions. The proposedproject is focused primarily on fixing the condition of the bituminous pavement. Staff is recommending reclaiming the top 8 inches of the street sectionwithin the neighborhood.By reclaiming the top 8inches of the street section, the crushed bituminous is blended with the underlying aggregate to form new base material to support the road. After the road has been reclaimed and excess material Packet Page Number 226 of 247 J6 removed, the road base will be reshaped to provide adequate drainage. The new base material will be compacted, and a new bituminous pavement surface will be installed. The existing pavement on Londin Lane is 12-inches thick, without a discernible aggregate base, which prevents the use of the reclamation process. As such, a 4-inch depth mill and overlay is proposed on Londin Lane. This deeper mill and overlay, combined with the proposed use of a crack and moisture isolation membrane, should result in a longer lasting pavement section when compared to a traditional shallow depth mill and overlay. The proposed project also includes minor adjustments and repairs to the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water utilities. The feasibility study found that the proposed project is feasible, necessary, and cost effective from an engineering. Budget Impact The total estimated project cost is $1,001,409 and is outlinedbelow: ESTIMATED PROJECT COST SUMMARY TOTAL PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS% OF TOTAL AMOUNT STREET IMPROVEMENTS$885,03088% STORM IMPROVEMENTS$28,8823% SANITARY SEWER IMPROVMENTS$59,6346% WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS$27,8633% TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST:$1,001,409100% The estimated costs includes 10% contingencies and 12% overhead, which includes geotechnical, legal, and fiscal expenses. The feasibility reportprovides a more detailed construction and project cost estimate. It is estimated that the engineering costs associated with designing and overseeing the construction of the improvements will total $120,000, or 12% above the total project cost. These costs will be financed directly through the General Fund, as opposed to being added to the project cost as was donein the past. Staff is proposing this method to reduce project costs and keep bonding levels to a minimum, thereby reducing City debt levels. The improvements are proposed to be financed through a combination of special assessments to the benefiting properties, Gas Franchise Fees, the Sanitary Sewer Fund, the Environmental Utility Fund andSt. Paul W.A.C. funds.
