Completing the necessary maintenance and remodel work on the Police Department will help
ensure the City Hall facilities are in good shape, easier to maintain, and provide more flexibility of
use with both bathrooms being converted to unisex bathrooms.

The City received only one quote from the following three construction companies:
CompanyProposal Total
American Liberty Construction $49,900.00
RJ Marco Declined to Submit
Kue Contractors Inc. Declined to Submit
The City is currently working with American Liberty Construction as the prime contractor on the City
Hall improvements, City Project 17-01.
The two Police Department bathrooms were not fully remodeled as part of the police expansion
project completed in 2015. As part of the 2015 project, it was decided to make both bathrooms
accessible which resulted in the removal of a urinal from one of the bathrooms. It did not update/fix
any of the broken tiles or update any of the fixtures.
The project will convert the two bathrooms to unisex bathrooms. This will provide more flexibility
with the use of the bathrooms. A urinal will be installed in one of the bathrooms as only one of the
two bathrooms are required to be assessable. The project also includes the replacement of the
aged/damaged wall and floor tiles. The bathrooms will be easier to maintain and kept clean with
the replacement of the damaged tiles and the installation of the urinal.

Policy Issue:
The City needs to purchase additional trash carts to be used in the Maplewood Trash Program.
Currently, thereare no ninety-five gallon and thirty gallon carts stored at Republic Services’ Inver
Grove Heights Facility.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve the attached purchase agreement with Otto Environmental Systems N.A., Inc.for
the purchase of564 additional trash carts to be used in the Maplewood Trash Program.

Trash carts are necessary to continue to have our organized trash plan operate effectively.
Background
On November 27,2012, the City Council authorized the execution into contract with Otto
Environmental Systems N.A., Inc. for the purchase of 10,330 carts.
On March 23, 2016, the City Council executed a Purchase Agreement with Otto Environmental
Systems N.A., Inc. in the amount of $26,257.10 for the purchase of 550 (280 ninety-five and 270
sixty- five gallon) additional trash carts to be used in the Maplewood Trash Program.
Packet Page Number 62 of 160
G3
On November 1, 2017, the City Council executed a Purchase Agreement with Otto Environmental
Systems N.A., Inc. in the amount of $24,470.30 for the purchase of 550 (280 ninety-five and 270
sixty-five gallon) additional trash carts to be used in the Maplewood Trash Program.
On March 26, 2018, the City Council executed a Purchase Agreement with OttoEnvironmental
Systems N.A., Inc. in the amount of $33,116 for the purchase of 720 additional sixty-five gallon
trash carts to be used in the Maplewood Trash Program.
Discussion
Since the rollout of the Maplewood Trash Plan in 2012, some of the originalcarts have been
damaged or, for various reasons, have gone missing. There is an expected attrition rate for trash
carts. To cover the costs to replenish carts for the program, Republic charges every trash account
an additional $.75 cart fee per month andremits that amount back to the City.
Beginning in 2016, the City has started to use the collected trash cart funds to work towards
replenishing the cart supply. Currently thereare no ninety-five gallon and thirty gallon carts at the
Republic facility. We will be purchasing a truck load (564 carts) of ninety-five gallon and thirty
gallon carts for $26,022.
City Purchasing Policy requires at least two bids for purchases over $10,000. Staff requested bids
from Otto (Attachment 1) and Rehrig PacificCompany (Attachment 2) for additional carts. Otto’s
bid for manufacturing of the trash carts (with shipping included) is $1.50less per cart than the bid
from Rehrig. Because Otto is the original vendor, the new carts will look the same as those already
in use with the trash plan.

Background
Assessments:
There are a total of 160 assessable residential and multi-family parcels within the project area. An
independent appraisal firm was hired to ascertain an opinion of special benefit received by
properties within the neighborhood project area. The appraisal report confirmed that the rates are
reasonable. These rates are as follows:
Residential
o Full Reconstruction Rate = $6,600/unit (Majority of Project Area)
o Partial Reconstruction Rate = $4,950/Unit (Conway Service Drive)
Commercial / Multi-Family
o Commercial /Multi-Family Full Reconstruction Assessment Rate = $132 Per Front-
Foot
o Commercial /Multi-Family Partial Reconstruction Assessment Rate = $99 Per Front-
Foot
As of June 5, 2018 staff has not received any objections or requests for a deferral to the proposed
assessments. Objections will be received up to and as part of the assessment hearing on June 11,
2018. Once the public hearing is closed, no further objections will be considered.
Staff will review all submitted objections and provide the City Council recommendations for action
on those objections at the June 25, 2018 City Council meeting. Staff will coordinate with the
objectors and send out the staff determination that will be recommended to the Council. This letter
will also inform the property owner that if they wish to further address the City Council about the
proposed assessment or staff recommendation they will be able to do so at the June 25, 2018 City
Council Meeting.
Bid Discussion:
One valid bid was received and tabulated. A summary of the bid is shown below in Table 1. The
bid has been checked and tabulated for accuracy.
The engineer’s estimate for project construction cost for the base bid was $5,004,067. As seen in
Table 1, the base bid from T.A. Schifsky and Sons, Inc. of $5,221,903.32 is approximately $218,000
(4%) higher than the engineer’s estimate. Staff feels the base bid is competitive and is
recommending award of the base bid.

higher than the engineer’s estimate. Staff is not recommending award of Bid Alternate 1.
Opportunities to make these improvements will be investigated in the future.
Bid Alternate 2 represented the installation of a sidewalk connection along the Maplewood Mall
Ring-Road near Lydia Avenue. The bid received for this alternate of $33,826.88 is approximately
24% higher than the engineer’s estimate. Staff is not recommending award of Bid Alternate 2.
Opportunities to make these improvements will be investigated in the future.

The bid received for this alternate of $34,240 is approximately 80% higher than the engineer’s

past, most recently during the Hillwood-Crestview Area Street Improvements and the award-
winning Bartelmy-Meyer Area Street Improvements.

contract is $5,221,903.32. The total project cost, including indirect costs, is anticipated to fall within

Silver Lake is an asset to the City and its residents. The proposed project will help protect and
improve the water quality of Silver Lake.
Background
Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD) is proposing to construct a spent lime stormwater runoff
treatment system on City land located at the southwest corner of Lydia Avenue and Lake
Boulevard.
Packet Page Number 79 of 160
J1
A spent lime stormwater treatment system is an innovative way to remove phosphorus loads
(particularly dissolved phosphorus loads) safely and cost-effectively. Spent lime, a common by-
product of municipal drinking water treatment, is an effective filtration medium. VBWD proposes to
use this technology in a regional stormwater treatment project to directly benefit the water quality of
Silver Lake. Stormwater will be diverted into a filtration basin where it will filter through the spent
lime medium prior to entering Silver Lake.
The City of North Saint Paul (NSP) has a proposed street reconstruction project where it is not
feasible to meet the water quality requirements for the project due to site restrictions and soil types.
The runoff from NSP’s project area also flows to Silver Lake. Therefore, NSP is partnering with
VBWD by contributing funding for the construction of a regional treatment system in order to help
meet their project’s water quality requirements. This regional project is a great example of
governmental agencies working together to accomplish shared goals.
Budget Impact
There are not budget impacts. The project construction is 100% funded by VBWD and the City of
North Saint Paul. Additionally, VBWD is responsible for all site restoration with the construction
project along with all future monitoring and maintenance activities.

for residential. For the Family Auto Sales proposal, the closest property the city is planning for
residential (zoned and guided residential) is located to the northwest at 2415 Cypress Street, which
is 227 feet away. There is a single family house located to the north at 1041 Gervais Avenue that is
zoned and guided as Light Manufacturing. This property is 130 feet from 1065 Highway 36.
Whitaker Used Motors
Whitaker Used Motors is located to the east at 1081 Highway 36. In 2014, Whitaker received
approval of a CUP and variance to sell used motor vehicles closer than 350 feet to property the city
is planning for residential. They store most of their vehiclesindoors, and are limited to ten used
motor vehicles on their south parking lot.
Family Auto Sales
Vehicle Sales
Family Auto Sales proposes to use the south parking lot to sell nine used motor vehicles.The
hours of operation for motor vehicle sales will be Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Packet Page Number 89 of 160
J2
The sales office will be located on the south side of the building. To meet accessibility
requirements the customer entrance to the office will be located on the north side of the building.
There will also be a second entrance on the south side of the building, up an exterior flight of stairs.
Garage Bay
The applicants are proposing to use the existing garage bay on the north side of the building for
detailing of vehicles. Detailing includes exterior and interior cleaning, waxing, windshield repair,
and minor repairs for inventory vehicles. The property owner at 1041 Gervais Avenue has
expressed concern about the location of the bay and noise nuisances to his residential home. As a
condition of the CUP, the applicant will be required to keep the garage bay doors closed when in
use.
Parking
City code requires one parking space for every two employees in a warehouse/manufacturing
space and one parking space for every 200 square feet of office/retail space. The property, with the
three tenants, would be required to have 20 parking spaces. There are 29 parking spaces on site,
leaving nine parking spaces available for used motor vehicle sales.
Dave Roeser owns a vacant lot across Gervais Avenue. That lot contains a pre-existing,
nonconforming gravel parking lot which is adjacent a wetland. The parking calculations do not
include that parking lot, as it is a separate lot and will not be included in the CUP and variance
approval. No vehicles associated with Family Auto Sales will be parked on that lot. Mr. Roeser is
proposing an expansion of that lot inthe future, which will require a CUP to expand a
nonconforming parking lot.
Lighting
The applicant is proposing to install two new LED wall pack lights on the north side of the building
and one LED wall pack and one LED freestanding light on the southside ofthe building. The
property ownerat 1041 Gervais Avenue has expressed concern about the lighting on the north side
of the building. He indicates that Whitaker Used Motors located directly across from his property
turns off their exterior lights at 8 p.m. He recommends the Family Auto Sale lights also be turned
off at that time. This is a reasonable request, especially considering Family Auto Sales will only be
open until 6 p.m.
Conditional Use Permit
City code requires that a CUP meet the following standards:
1.The use would be located, designed, maintained, constructed and operated to be in
conformity with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Code of Ordinances.
2.The use would not change the existing orplanned character of the surrounding area.
3.The use would not depreciate property values.
4.The use would not involve any activity, process, materials, equipment or methods of
operation that would be dangerous, hazardous, detrimental, disturbing or cause anuisance
to any person or property, because of excessive noise, glare, smoke, dust, odor, fumes,
Packet Page Number 90 of 160
J2
water or air pollution, drainage, water run-off, vibration, general unsightliness, electrical
interference or other nuisances.
5.The use would generate only minimal vehicular traffic on local streets and would not create
traffic congestion or unsafe access on existing or proposed streets.
6.The use would be served by adequate public facilities and services, including streets, police
and fire protection, drainage structures, water and sewer systems, schools and parks.
7. The use would not create excessive additional costs for public facilities or services.
8. The use would maximize the preservation of and incorporate the site's natural and scenic
features into the development design.
9. The use would cause minimal adverse environmental effects.
Only nine used motor vehicles will be parked on the south parking lot. The south parking lot is
adjacent Highway 36, on the opposite side of any residential properties. As such, staff finds that
the use would meet the CUP standards.
Variance
City code requires used motor vehicles to be located 350 feet from a property the city is planning for
residential. The northwest corner of the property is located 227feet away from 2415 Cypress
Street, which is zoned and guided residential. The used motor vehicle sales will take place on the
south parking lot, which is located 350 feet plus from the residential property. The parking lot is not
visible from the residential property.
State law requires that variances shall only be permitted when they are found to be:
1.In harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control;
2.Consistent with the comprehensive plan;
3.When there are practical difficulties in complying with the official control. “Practical
difficulties” means that theproperty owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable
manner not permitted by an official control. The plight of the landowner is due to
circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner and the variance, if
granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
The proposed variance would be in harmony with the intent of the ordinance. The 350 foot
separation from residential property is required to buffer used motor vehicle sales activities from
residents. In this case, the property is located closer than 350 feet, but the sale of the vehicles
would be located on the opposite side of the building further than 350 feet from property the city is
planning for residential.
The use would also be consistent with the comprehensive plan since it is classified commercial and
used motor vehicle sales are a commercial activity.
Packet Page Number 91 of 160
J2
The applicant describes a practical difficulty in his narrative which states that the residential
properties will not have sight of the used motor vehicles sales on the south because of the elevation
of the parking lot being 10 to 20 feet lower than the floor level of the building.

Citizen Comments
1.Patricia Paul, 2415 Cypress Street (mail response): Poor location, business area is small,
no room for any further expansion – also not very accessible for customers with the
entrance on different levels. Very limited space for that type of business. I would not object
to the business if approved.
2.Paul Smith, 1041 Gervais Avenue (telephone response): The City should not approve a
variance to allow the used motor vehicle sales closer than 350 feet to residential. Family
Auto should follow the Citycode. Exterior lights on the north side of the building are not
necessary. They will cause light pollution to the surrounding residential properties. If they
are installed, the City should require that they be shut off at 6 p.m. The business across the
street from my property, Whitaker, has exterior lights that shut off at 8 p.m. Parking will be a
problem. Used motor vehicle sales involve shuffling cars around the lot,to and from the
detail bay. What happens when they buy too many cars at an auction and they only have
nine parking spaces to park them? The City should consider signing the north side of
Gervais with no-parking signs. The location of the detail bay on the north side of the
building, across from residential, will cause nuisances such as sound, odor, and lighting.

Dear Shann:
We are pleased to provide this Narrative for Family Auto Sales for a Conditional Use
Permit and Variance to sell used automobiles in a M1 zoning district.
The property is owned by Waters Edge Enterprises, 1065 Highway 36 E, Maplewood,
Minnesota (the “Property”). The tenant Family Auto Sales (“Client”) requests the approval
and recommendation of approval to the City Council for a Conditional Use Permit and
Variance to allow used automotive sales in the south end of the building and the south
parking lot.
The auto sales and display would be limited to the south parking lot and customers would
be directed into the building to complete the sale. Accessible parking is restricted to the
rear of the building because of the elevation of the front entry. Handicap patrons will be
escorted to the rear parking lot and enter through a secure entrance.
Project Overview:
The site consists of approximately 0.99 acres located on Keller Parkway, North of Highway
36 and West of Highway 61. Current site consists of a 20,570-square foot, single story
building, 22 parking stalls at the south parking lot, and 7 parking stalls at the north parking
lot, including 2 accessible stalls.
Exterior improvements will consist of new LED light fixtures and a new sign on the south of
the building.

Removing barriers to urban agriculture uses by amending the City’s ordinances will give all
residents access to healthy foods.
Background
The goal of the local foods section in the Sustainability Chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan is
to create a healthy, walkable community by providing healthy food options and accessibility for all
people, regardless of income. Several actions are identified to achieve that goal including the
completion of an urban agriculture zoning review to remove barriers and promote local food access
in all zoning districts. The Environmental and Natural Resources Commission completed a zoning
review in December 2017. Based on the review, the ENR Commission is recommending
amendments to the City’s ordinances that will facilitate urban agriculture uses while minimizing
health, safety, and nuisance concerns. The recommendations are separated into three focus areas
including:
1.Animal agriculture (keeping of poultry, etc.)
2.Crop agriculture (community gardens,etc.)
3.Direct to consumer sales (farm stands, etc.)
Discussion
Animal Agriculture
Types of Urban Animal Agriculture
There are four main types of animal agriculture that could take place in a residential suburban
environment including:
1.Keeping ofPoultry – The keeping of poultry such as chickens for egg production, meat,
fertilization of plants, and control of garden pests. Land use concerns include noise, odor,
rodent and pest problems, and potential for the poultry to transmit diseases.
2.Keeping of Bees – The keeping of honeybees for honey and pollination. The primary land
use concern with beekeeping in urban areas is the potential for stings.
3.Aquaculture and Aquaponics – This includes fish farming and closed-loop systems between
plantsand fish for the production and sale of plants and fish. Land use concerns include
poorly maintained systems that could cause odors or attract mosquitoes.
4.Keeping of Goats and Sheep – The keeping of goats and sheep for dairy, wool, meat, and
maintainingplant growth by foraging. Land use concerns include odor, noise, damage to
property, and runaway animals.
Other forms of animal agriculture require large lots and agricultural zoning, such as raising of pigs.
These types of uses would not be compatiblein the City’s suburban environment.
Packet Page Number 107 of 160

Proposed Animal Agriculture Ordinance Amendments
1.Poultry
The City of Maplewood adopted a chicken ordinance on July 11, 2011. The ordinance
allows the keeping of up to ten chickens (hens only) on a residential lot with a permit.
Amendments proposed include:
a.Allowing other types of poultry in addition to chickens (i.e., quail and pheasants)
b.Changing the neighborhood consent requirements from 100 percent to a majority
consent for approval of a poultry permit.
c. Allowing the keeping of poultry on property that is not zoned single family residential
with a permit.
The permit structure for the keeping of poultry will remain the same. The fee for the initial
and bi-yearly permits will be adopted by resolution during the City Council’s review of the
Environmental and Economic Development Department fees.
Note:The ENR Commission recommended increasing the number of poultry from ten hens
to a maximum of 30 with a permit, depending on the size of the lot. The ordinance would
read:
Up to ten(10) poultry on residential lots that are 10,000 square feet in area or less,
with one (1) additional poultry per every 5,000 square feet of lot area over 10,000
square feet, or a maximum of thirty (30) poultry, whichever is less.
The ENR Commission states that property owners with large lots should have the ability to
use their land for urban agriculture purposes. Because the lots are large, the adjacent
homes are further away, alleviating possible nuisances. A majority of Maplewood’s
residential lotsare 10,000 square feet in areaand would be allowed up to ten hens. In order
to have30 hens, the residential lot would have to be 2.5 acres in size or larger. The poultry
ordinance attached include the staff and Planning Commission recommendation that the
maximum number of poultry remain at ten hensregardless of lot size.
2.Beekeeping
Maplewood’s ordinances are silent on the keeping of bees. The code prohibits the keeping
of animals that pose a nuisance. Insects (bees) are included in the definition of animal, so
the code could be interpreted to allow the keeping of bees as long as they do not pose a
nuisance. Amendments proposed include:
a.Allow beekeeping in any zoning district as a permitted use.
b.Hive placement requirements.
Note: The ENRCommission recommended the front of bee hives face in toward the
property. This change was proposed on May 21, 2018, after the ENR Commission’s review
of the Planning Commission’s concerns that bee hives should be located further than the
proposed ten feet to a public sidewalk. The reason for the change is that bees exit the
beehive at the front, and will naturally fly in that direction, away from the public sidewalk.
This change has been made on the attached bee ordinance.
Packet Page Number 108 of 160

3.Aquaculture and Aquaponics
Permitted uses in the light and heavy manufacturing zoning district include the
manufacturing, assembly, or processing of food products, except meat, poultry, or fish.
Aquaculture and aquaponics involve the processing of fish and could be interpreted as a
prohibited use in these zoning districts. Amendments proposed include:
a.Amend the M-1 and M-2 Zoning Districts to allow for these uses.
4.Temporary Keeping of Goats and Sheep
Maplewood’s ordinances prohibit the keeping of goats and sheep in most residential zoning
districts. The keeping of goats and sheep is allowed with a conditional use permit on
property zoned Farm Residential. Amendments proposed include:
a.Allow thetemporary keeping of goats and sheep (up to 60 days) for vegetative
management with a permit.
b.Require a majority neighborhood consent for the temporary keeping of goats and
sheep.
c.Allow up to 75 goats or sheep, depending on size of lot.
Crop Agriculture
Types of Crop Agriculture
There were four types of crop agriculture reviewed by the ENR Commission including:
1.Community and Market Gardens - These are cultivated spaces typically gardened and
managed by one or more persons –either on undeveloped lots or on leased lands for
private consumption or retail sale.
2.Front Yard Gardening - Most residential crop gardens are planted in the back or side yard.
The increasing popularity of consuming home-grown produce has expanded to the front
yard. Land use concerns include height of crops and aesthetics.
3.Urban Farms - For-profit agricultural operation. Land use concerns include additional
people and activity to the site, parking, lighting, signage, accessory building, large
equipment, chemical pesticides or herbicides.
4.Season Extenders - Any method of protecting crops from the elements in order to extend
the length of the growing season (hoop house, greenhouse). Land use concerns include
building code issues and aesthetics.
Proposed Crop Agriculture Ordinance Amendments
1.Community and Market Gardens
Maplewood’s ordinances are silent on the use of land for a community or market garden.
Land use concerns include parking, exterior storage, availability of water, etc. There are
existing community gardens in the City. These are located on church, school, City,
townhouse, and business properties. Two were approved through a formal city process
Packet Page Number 109 of 160
J3
including a conditional use permit and as part of a park master plan. Others were installed
as part of an existing conditional use permit for schools and churches, as an accessory use
for a townhouse development, and as a pre-existing farming use. Proposed amendments
include:
a.Allow community gardens one acre or under as a permitted use in any zoning district
with standards such as setbacks, time limits for sale of produce, etc.
b.Allow community gardens over one acre in any zoning district with a conditional use
permit.
2.Front Yard Gardening
Maplewood’s ordinances do not define where a residential garden can be placed on a lot,
but does restrict the height of tall grasses. Proposed amendments include:
a.Adding text that make it clear that front yard gardening is a permitted use in all
residential zoning districts.
3.Urban Farms
Maplewood’s codes are silent on urban farms. Proposed amendments include:
a.Allow urban farms on park land if it meets the City’s Park Master Plan.
b.Allow urban farms on all other zoning districts with a conditional use permit.
4.Season Extenders
The existing ordinances adequately address season extenders. Hoop houses and
greenhouses are allowed on residential property as long as the size and location meet the
City’s accessory structure ordinance and a building permit is obtained for structures over
200 square feet. Hoop houses and greenhouses are allowed with design review, conditional
use permit in some cases, and a building permit on commercial property.No ordinance
amendments are recommended.
Direct to Consumer Sales
Types of Direct to Consumer Sales
Direct to Consumer Sales involves consumers buying agriculture products or prepared foods
directly from farmers or venders. Direct to consumer sales can bring fresh produce into areas
where access to nutritional food is not readily available. Examples of Direct to Consumer Sale uses
include farm stands, farmer’s markets, and food trucks. Land use concerns with these types of
uses include traffic, noise, and parking issues.
Proposed Direct to Consumer Sales Ordinance Amendments
The City’s ordinances would allow for farms stands, farmer’s markets, and food trucks in the
Business Commercial and Light and Heavy Manufacturing Zoning Districts only for up to four
months with a permit, longer with a conditional use permit. Proposed ordinance amendment:
Packet Page Number 110 of 160
J3
1.Define direct to consumer sales asthe exterior sale of agricultural products or prepared
foods directly from farmers or venders to consumers.
2.Allow direct to consumer sales in all commercial zoning districts for up to four months with
permit.
Note: The ENR Commission recommendeddirect to consumer sales be allowed for up to six
months to match the state’s growing season. The direct to consumer sales ordinance attached
reflect the staff and Planning Commission recommendation that the use be limited to four months
as approved by the City Council during the temporary sales ordinance amendment adopted in
2015.If the City Council decides it is comfortable with extending direct to consumer sales to six
months, staff would recommend extending all temporary exterior sales to six months as well to
ensure ordinances are consistent.
Public Comments
The spring 2018 edition of Maplewood Seasons focused on the proposed urban agriculture
ordinance amendments. The public was invited to view the proposed amendments on the City’s
website and submit their comments. The following comments were received:
1.Mindy Richmond, 865 O’day Street South, submitted on April 23, 2018, via e-mail:
I am a Maplewood resident at 865 O’day Street South and I just wanted to let you know that
I fully support the proposed changes in the Maplewood Urban Agriculture.
2.Judith Driscoll, 1896 Walter Street, paraphrased from e-mails submitted in May 2018:
Supportive of the urban agriculture ordinance amendments, especially the ordinance which
allows the temporary keeping of goats. Judith keeps goats on her farm. She has learned
that the height of the fence around goats isn't as important as the kind of fence. She
thought that a five-foot fence around the temporary keeping of goat might be cost-prohibitive
for most companies and suggested allowing electrified net fencing.
3.Brittney Sandquist, Maplewood resident, submitted on May 18, 2018, via e-mail:
I have tried to have chickens a few times, being denied by one of my neighbors...I just read
the updated law!!!!! Just wanted to say YAY! I cannot wait to put in a new application.
Thanks for all of your hard work!
4. Scott Creer, 2503 East Haller Lane, submitted on May 22, 2018, via e-mail:
While I agree that the city code currently should be changed to allow the temporary keeping
of goats, and I also agree uniform policy is the way to go, I still disagree with the rationale
behind needing to pull a permit.
People's landscaping in their front yards attracts deer and other animals, should people
need to pull permits and check with the city before doing their landscaping to avoid deer
walking around neighborhoods causing a nuisance? People's gardens could attract pests
and animals, should they have to pull a permit for that too? People could be allergic to bees,
and get stung from a bee farm in someone's back yard, but the policy doesn't require 50%
approval of neighbors for that (and I am not advocating for that).
Packet Page Number 111 of 160
J3
Don't get me wrong, if one of my neighbors decides to start a goat farm on their property I
understand the city saying certain things need to be done. But people temporarily using
goats to manage vegetation, shouldn't be a big deal and shouldn't require the city to be
involved. I don't see the huge risk that would need to be avoided. I have rented goats
before, I grew up around goats, they are not a huge problem to have temporarily. This just
seems like city government regulating unnecessarily. Why not start without requiring a
permit, and see if there are major issues? If there is a huge loose rented goat epidemic in
the city over the next year, then change it to be permit required.
Planning Commission Public Hearing
The Planning Commission held a public hearing for the ordinance amendments on May 15, 2018.
No members of the public were present for the public hearing. The Planning Commission made
several motions for recommendations. The motion, vote, and dissenting reasons listed for voting
against the motions are listed below:
1.Motion to approve the Poultry Ordinance passed. Planning Commissioners with dissenting
votes stated they had concerns about allowing farm uses in residential areas and changing
the neighborhood consent from 100 percent to a majority.
2.Motion to approve the Bee Ordinance passed. Planning Commissioners with dissenting
votes stated they had concerns about neighbors with bee allergies and that the ten foot
setback from a bee hive to a public sidewalk should be increased.
3.Motion to approve the Temporary Keeping of Goats and Sheep Ordinance. Planning
Commissioners with dissenting votes stated they had concerns about the ordinance
specifying that residential property owners could only have rental goats and sheep on a
temporary basis, not their own goats or sheep.
4.Motion to approve the Aquaponics and Aquaculture ordinance. No dissenting votes.
5.Motion to approve the Community and Market Gardensand Urban Farms Ordinance. No
dissenting votes.
6.The motion to approve the Front Yard Gardening was not passed. A majority of the
Planning Commissioners voted against this ordinance, expressing concerns about using the
entire front lawn to grow produce.
7.Motion to approve the Direct to Consumer Sales Ordinance. No dissenting votes.
Environmental Commission Final Review
The ENR Commission had a final review of the urban agriculture ordinance amendments on
May 21, 2018. The ENR Commission recommended approval of the ordinance amendments as
revised by staff and the Planning Commission with the following changes:
1.Poultry:Up to ten (10) poultry on residential lots that are 10,000 square feet in area or less,
with one (1) additional poultry per every 5,000 square feet of lot area over 10,000 square
feet, or a maximum of thirty (30) poultry, whichever is less.
2.Bees: Bee hives must face in toward the property.

City of Maplewood Urban Agriculture – Zoning Review
Updated March 14, 2018
Background
The Environmental and Natural Resources (ENR) Commission’sUrban Agriculture
Subcommittee is made up of three Commissioners. The Subcommitteereviewedthe City’s
ordinances to determine areas where urban agriculture would be allowed or prohibited. In
reviewing the information, theSubcommittee focused on three types of urban agriculture
including animal agriculture (keeping of chickens, etc.), crop agriculture (community gardens,
etc.), and direct to consumer sales (farm stands, etc.). Based on this review the full ENR
Commission is recommending ordinance amendments that will remove barriers andpromote
urban agriculture uses.
Ordinance Review
1.Residential
Farm District (Sections 44-71 and 44-72): It is estimated there are 200 residential
lots that are zoned Farm District. The Farm District zoning is a remnant district from
the City’s agricultural era. As large lots were subdivided into smaller lot residential
developments, Farm zoned land wasrezoned to Single Family Residential District
(R-1).
o Permitted Uses (Section 44-71)
Commercial farming or gardening,including the use or storage of associated
equipment.
Commercial greenhouses or nurseries.
Stands for the sale of agricultural products produced on the premises.
o Conditional Uses (Section 44-72)
Livestock raising and handling.Livestock is defined as “horses, cattle, mules,
asses, goats, sheep, swine, buffalo, llamas, ostriches, reptiles, genetic
hybrids of the foregoing, and other living animals usually kept for agriculture
husbandry, or the production of edible or salable byproducts.”
A landscape business or any other similar use as an accessory use to
residential property.
Single and Double Dwelling Residential Districts Including R-1, R-1(R), R-E, R-1S,
R-2(Sections 44-101,44-117,44-152,44-192,44-241):
o Permitted Uses
Single family homes and accessory uses.
Packet Page Number 114 of 160
J3, Attachment 1
Section 44-101includes permitted uses in residential zoning districts and
specifies that commercial plant nurseries and greenhouses on a property with
a dwelling are allowed with a home occupation license.
Crop Gardens - Accessory uses include crop gardening. Most residential
crop gardens are planted in the back or side yard. The increasing popularity
of consuming home-grown produce has expanded to the front yard. Land
use concerns include height of crops and aesthetics. The City code does not
regulate where a garden can be placed on the lot, except for restrictions on
planting in the boulevard. Sight Obstructions at Intersections (Section. 32-
246): Plant material that is higher than 2 feet, 6 inches is prohibited within
the right-of-way (boulevard).
Bees - Keeping of Certain Animals (Section 10-32):No person shall keep,
maintain, or harbor within the city any animal kept in such numbers or in such
a way as to constitute a likelihood of harm to the public, which constitutes a
public nuisance.Definition of animal includes “insect.” Interpretation – bees
are allowed as long as they don’t become a nuisance.
o Conditional Uses (in the R1(R) Zoning District Only)
Commercial farming or gardening, including the use or storage or associated
equipment when on a property with a single dwelling.
Stands for the sale of agricultural products grown or produced on the
property.
o Prohibited Uses
Raising or handling of livestock and poultry(except chickens as outlined in
Article IX).
Accessory buildings without an associated dwelling on the same premises.
Commercial plant nurseries, commercial greenhouses, farms or any structure
for the sale or display of commercial products when not on a property with a
residential use.
o Home occupations (Division 2)are permitted if the following circumstances take
place for less than 30 days each year, if for more than 30 days each year the use
requires a home occupation permit approved by the City Council:
Employment of a nonresident.
Customers or customers’ vehicles on the premises.
Home Occupations must not:
Have more than one vehicle associated with the home occupation which is
classified as a light commercial vehicle.
Not generate traffic in greater volumes than would normally be expected in a
residential neighborhood.
Packet Page Number 115 of 160
J3, Attachment 1
Have more than one non-resident employee workingon the premises.
Have vehiclesassociated with thehome occupation parked on the street.
Example urban agriculture uses that would be allowed for 30 days per year
without a home occupation would include farm stands.
o Uses Allowed with a Permit
Chickens (Article IX): Keeping of up to ten hens with a permit approved by
City staff is allowed in residential districts (except R-1S). Maplewood’s
chicken ordinance was adopted in 2011 and allows the keeping of up to ten
hens on residential property with a permit. A property owner applying for a
permit must have consent from 100 percent of their adjacent property owners
before the City will issue the permit. The fee for a chicken permit is $75 for
the first year, and $50 thereafter.
2.Commercial
Business Commercial/Light and Heavy Manufacturing
o Permitted uses in Section 44-511include the temporary exterior sale of goods,
up to four months per year, pursuant to licensing and permitting requirements in
chapter 14, article vi, chapter 20, article IV and chapter 28, article II. This
language would allow farm stands, food trucks and push carts, and farmers
markets in the Business Commercial/Light and Heavy Manufacturing District if
the use was limited to four months.
o Conditional uses in Section 44-512include the exterior storage, display, sale or
distribution of goods or materials. This language would allow farm stands, food
trucks and push carts, and farmers markets for longer than four months in the
Business Commercial/Light and Heavy ManufacturingDistrict with a conditional
use permit.
Shopping Center District
o Conditional uses in Section 44-597include the exterior storage, display, sale, or
distribution of goods or materials. This language would allow farm stands, food
trucks and push carts, and farmers markets within the Shopping Center District
with a conditional use permit, regardless of the timeframe.
Business Commercial Modified
o Prohibited uses in Section 44-559include the exterior storage, display, sale or
distribution of goods or materials. This language would restrict farm stands, food
trucks and push carts, and farmers markets within the Business Commercial
Modified District.
Mixed Use District:
o Prohibited uses in Section 44-680include the exterior storage, display, sale or
Packet Page Number 116 of 160
J3, Attachment 1
distribution of goods or materials. This language would restrict farm stands, food
trucks and push carts, and farmers markets within the Mixed Use District.
Light Manufacturing District:
o Permitted uses in Section 44-636allows manufacturing, assembly or processing
of food products, except meat, poultry or fish. This language would prohibit the
assembly or processing of fish in afacility that uses aquaculture (fish farming) or
aquaponics(fish farming in a closed loop systems that create a relationship
between plants and food).
Heavy Manufacturing District:
o Permitted uses in Section 44-676allow manufacturing, assembly or processing
of food products, except meat, poultry or fish.This language would prohibit the
assembly or processing of fish in a facility that uses aquaculture (fish farming) or
aquaponics(fish farming in a closed loop systems that create a relationship
between plants and food).
Conditional Use Permits (Article V): The City Council may issue conditional use
permits for the following uses in any zoning district where they are not specifically
prohibited: “Public and private utilities, public service, or public building uses.”The
City has interpreted a “community garden” as a public use in the past and authorized
a 250 plot community garden to be developed on a vacant business commercial lot.
3.Parksand Community Preserves
The Maplewood Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan outline codes and policies that
would allow for food production including edibles, foraging, permaculture, community
gardens, urban farms, etc., as follows:
Open Space and Parks District (Sec. 44. Division 1.): The Open Space and Parks
District section of the zoning code allows for improvements and structures within
open space lands and public parks that are consistent with the Maplewood
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
2040 Comprehensive (Parks, Trails, and Open Space Chapter Section 3.3.1):The
goals and policies outlined in this chapter include integratingfood production in city

The Environmental Commission discussed the urban agricultureordinance and comments
received by the Planning Commission.Having spent over two years working on the ordinance,
which included research, field trips, and debate, the Environmental Commission recommended
that the City Councilapprove the urban agriculture ordinance as they had originally
recommended after their review in December. This includes allowing up to 30 poultry, depending
on lot size, and allowing direct to consumer sales for up to 6 months.An additional change is
recommended to address the Planning Commission’s concerns regarding the bee hive setback to
a public sidewalk. The changes are as follows:
1.Poultry:Up to ten (10) poultry on residential lots that are 10,000 square feet in area or
less, with one (1) additional poultry per every 5,000 square feet of lot area over 10,000
square feet, or a maximum of thirty (30) poultry, whichever is less.
2.Bees: Bee hives must face in toward the property.
