The proposed reconfiguration of the parking lot includes stormwater management features intended to improve the quality (and reduce the volume) of stormwater runoff that reaches Wakefield Lake, which is impaired for excess nutrients. The parking lot improvements require Community Design Review Board approval. No changes are being proposed to the building size, capacity or use. Recommended Motion: Motion to approve the design plans date-stamped May 6, 2019 for the exterior and site improvements to Aldrich Area located at 1850 White Bear Avenue. Approval is subject to the applicant doing the following: 1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this project. 2. All requirements of the fire marshal and building official must be met. 3. Satisfy the requirements set forth in the staff report authored by staff engineer Jon Jarosch, dated May 14, 2019. 4. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, submit all parking agreements to staff. 5. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall provide the city with cash escrow or an irrevocable letter of credit for the exterior landscaping and site improvements. Staff shall determine the dollar amount of the escrow. 6. The applicant shall complete the following before occupying the building: a. Replace any property irons removed because of this construction. b. Provide continuous concrete curb and gutter around the parking lot and driveways. c. Install all required landscaping and an in-ground lawn irrigation system for all landscaped areas. d. Install all required outdoor lighting. e. Install all required sidewalks. 7. If any required work is not done, the city may allow temporary occupancy if: a. The city determines that the work is not essential to the public health, safety or welfare. b. The above-required letter of credit or cash escrow is held by the City of Maplewood for all required exterior improvements. The owner or contractor shall complete any unfinished exterior improvements by June 1 of the following year if occupancy of the building is in the fall or winter or within six weeks of occupancy of the building if occupancy is in the spring or summer. 8. All work shall follow the approved plans. The director of community development may approve minor changes. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0. Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: n/a Strategic Plan Relevance: Financial Sustainability Integrated Communication Targeted Redevelopment Operational Effectiveness Community Inclusiveness Infrastructure & Asset Mgmt. The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on May 6, 2019. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is July 5, 2019. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city is allowed to take an additional 60 days if necessary to complete the review. Background Site Plan and Parking The proposed project will benefit Aldrich Arena’s parking lot through the site-wide reduction of impervious surface, the substantial addition of trees and other diverse plantings, improved landscape aesthetics, and changed traffic patterns that will slow traffic and make pedestrian passage to the arena entrances safer. The applicant is proposing to restore the hillside along White Bear Avenue with naturalized prairie landscape. Rainwater gardens within the parking lot will be constructed by removing pavement and making more efficient use of impervious area for drive aisles and parking stalls. The proposed project will repurpose existing excess drive aisle pavement areas in order to create space to construct stormwater management features, with the minimum requirements set forth by the City. This project involves some reconfiguring and resizing of parking arrays in the arena parking lot. In order to maximize the size of the rain gardens, and minimize the parking lot’s impervious surface, the applicant is proposing to utilize 9-foot wide parking stalls. Ramsey County uses 9-foot wide parking spaces at all of its facilities – including other facilities in Maplewood. City ordinance states the minimum parking stall width is 9.5 feet but the city council is authorized to approve deviations to this standard. The parking lot at Aldrich Arena has never been striped for parking spaces but utilizing 9-foot wide spaces results in a proposed condition that matches the approximate number of parking spaces as existing conditions would allow. Currently there is a lack of order for parking on this site, so striping the site will make the parking lot safer and more efficient. City ordinance requires one parking space for every 4 seats or allowed occupants. In this case 905 spaces are required. Ramsey County also has a parking agreement with nearby Woodland Hills Church for additional parking for larger events.

The method of pavement replacement proposed as part of this project is full-depth reclamation (FDR). As FDR does not disturb the underlying sub-soils, the FDR area does not count towards the disturbed area of the project. The only site disturbances proposed are related to the installation of stormwater quality features. As such, this project is not subject to the City’s stormwater management requirements. This review does not constitute a final review of the plans, as the applicant will need to submit construction documents for final review.Thefollowing are engineeringreview comments on the design and act as conditions prior to issuing permits. 1) A copy of thejoint powers agreement between Ramsey County and Ramsey- Washington Metro Watershed District, outlining maintenance responsibilities, shall be provided to the City. 2)A copy of NPDES permitcoverageshallbe submitted to the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. 3)Inlet protection devices shall be installed on allexistingand proposedonsite storm seweruntil all exposed soils onsite are stabilized. 4)Adjacent streetsand parking areasshall be swept as needed to keep the pavement clear of sediment and construction debris. 5)The total grading volume (cut/fill) shall be noted on the plans. Public Works Permits The following permits are required by the Maplewood Public Works Department for this project. 6)Grading and erosion control permit Attachment 3 7)Storm Sewer Permit -END COMMENTS - COMMUNITY DESIGN REVIEW BOARDSTAFF REPORT Meeting Date May 21, 2019 Melinda Coleman, City Manager REPORT TO: REPORT FROM:Michael Martin, AICP, Assistant Community Development Director PRESENTOR:Michael Martin, AICP, Assistant Community Development Director Conditional Use Permit Resolutionand Design Review, Maplewood Moose AGENDA ITEM: Lodge,3033 Hazelwood Street North Action Requested:MotionDiscussionPublic Hearing Form of Action:ResolutionOrdinanceContract/AgreementProclamation Policy Issue: Maplewood Moose Lodge, owner of the property located at 3033 Hazelwood Street North, is proposing to build a new 5,000-square-foot building for its club.To move forward, the applicant needs approval of a conditional use permitand design review.

The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on May 6, 2019. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is July 5, 2019. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city is allowed to take an additional 60days if necessary to complete the review. Background Project Overview The Maplewood Moose Lodge is currently located at 1946 English Street. The Maplewood Moose Lodge is looking to downsize its facility and entered into a purchase agreement with the City of Maplewood for their existing property. In turn, the City of Maplewood was the property owner of a vacant parcel at 3033 Hazelwood Street. This property has already been sold outright to the Maplewood Moose Lodge who had an understanding of still needing to secure land use approvals from the City prior to any new club building being erected. Conditional Use Permit The property at 3033 Hazelwood Street North is zoned Light Manufacturing (M1). Section 22-637(b) of the M1 zoning district requires that “no building or exterior use, except parking, may be erected, altered orconducted within 350 feet of a residential district without a conditional use permit.” In addition, all permitted and conditional uses in the Business Commercial (BC) zoning district are allowed in the M1 zoning district. The BCzoning district requires aconditional use permit for any “place of amusement, recreation or assembly.” Easements In addition to typical utility and drainage easements located around and near the perimeter of the property, this site is encumbered by three additional easements – see below. Buildings are prohibitedwithin the easement areas. Fences and parking lots are permitted. Trees and landscaping potentially can be planted but the applicant needs to work with and receive approval from the easement holders. Prior to any building permits being issued, the applicant must provide theCity written documentation from easement holders approving the plans for improvements to be made withineasement areas. 225foothigh-tension 100 foot electrical50 foot pipeline powerline easementeasementeasement Building Setbacks The proposed club building will be built approximately 254 feet from its south property line. The condominium building that is located to the south of this site is setback approximately 190 feet from the same property line. This means the new club buildingwill be nearly 445 feet away from the condominiums to the south. The proposed parking lot would be just under 102 feet from the south property line and nearly 355 feet from the condominiums. The proposed building will be setback 42 feet from the east property line meaning the building will be setback approximately 143 feet from the apartments to the east. The proposed building would be setback approximately 259 feet from the nearest detached townhouse located within the Cottages at Legacy Village to the southeast. Staff isrecommending the applicant be required to provide additional landscaping and screening throughout the sitewhile also working withinthe site’s easement limitations. In addition, Section 12-400 of city ordinance requires “all buildings subject to this article and all newly created lots shall be designed to accommodate a setback of at least 100 feet from a pipeline.”This same section of ordinance also allows that “the city council may approve a reduced setback where the applicant can prove that there is a unique hardship to the property that prevents the reasonable and practicable development of the property.” The building would be setback approximately 83 feet from the pipeline on site – but completely outside of the pipeline easement. Given the unique shape of the parcel and how it was created as a result of a road project and the easements the impede much of the site, staff feels the reduced setback is reasonable in this case. Hours of Operation and Use The Maplewood Moose Lodge intends to be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. On Saturdays hours would be 10 a.m. until 11 p.m. and on Sundays 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.The club offers horseshoes outside fromJune to August, starting at 6 p.m. and ending around 9 p.m. The Maplewood Moose Lodge states it has just over 500 members. Again this move from their existing site is because their existing location is too big for its currentoperations. Moose Lodge staff have stated that on an average Friday night they will have around 25 people stop in; fewer on weeknights. The proposed site plan does meet the City’s parking requirements but staff is recommending the applicant revise its site plan to provide proof-of-parking in the case that additional parking spaces are needed onsite. The conditional use permit shall require all parking needs of the Maplewood Moose Lodge occur on site. Design Review Site Plan The site will be accessed from Hazelwood Street. The proposed building would be located to the north of the parking lot. To the west of the building would be horseshoe pits. Stormwater would be directed to the north of the building to an infiltration basin. Building Elevations At its tallest the newbuilding will be 19feet tall. All four elevations are proposed to be finished with texturewall panel, a stone veneer and metal roof system. The north elevation, which faces the intersection of Hazelwood Street and County Road D East needs additional architectural elements. Any rooftop equipment will be required to be screened adequately from the residential properties to the east and south. The proposed materials of the building are a concern to staff. While the zoning of this site permits the proposed use and building, with a conditional use permit,it is noted that this project is adjacent to residential areas. Given this, staff would like the Community Design Review Board to provide guidance on materials that should be considered to be more consistentwith the neighboring properties. Landscapingand Screening The applicant is proposing to plant several shrubs near the front entranceof the building, on the west side of the horseshoe pits and on the south side of the parking lot. Fourteentrees are also proposed to be planted throughout the site. Staff believes there are opportunities for additional coniferous trees to be added to the site plan to provide for additional screening to neighboring residential properties. Staff would recommendthese trees be added to the east and southeast corner of the building and along the southern property line to achieve the City’s screening requirement of at least six feettall and 80 percent opaqueness. In addition, staff would recommend a six-foot-tall fence be added to the south of the parking lot to shield any potential headlight glare to the south. Finally, staff would like to see more plantings occur to the north of the building. Much like the north elevation of the building, this area will be veryvisibly and should be designed to have a more attractive landscape design. Lighting The applicant will be required to submit a fullphotometric plan before any building permits can be issued. This photometric plan will ensure the City’s light ordinance is being met. Parking City ordinance requires restaurants to provide one parking space for each 50 square feet of floor space devoted to patron use. The main bar/restaurant area will be 2,025 square feet in size thus requiring 41 parking spaces. Recreational building uses requireone parking space for each 200 square feet. Meaning for the remaining portion of the building that will be accessible five spaces are required. A total of 46 parking spaces are required by ordinance and the proposed site plan shows 48 parking spaces being provided. Even with the City’s parking requirements being met staff would still recommend the applicant be required to submit a revised site plan showing proof-of-parking for additional spacesshould there be demand. The City would be able to require the spaces be built in the case that parking becomes an issueat this site. All Moose Lodge parking should be required to be contained within the site. Trash Enclosure All trash and recycling receptacles are required to be contained with an approved enclosure or kept within the building. The applicant should be required to submit to staff plans for an exterior trash enclosure. Commission Review Planning Commission May 21, 2019: The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing andreview this project. Community Design Review Board May 21, 2019: The Community Design Review Board will reviewthisproject. Department Comments Engineering Department, Jon Jarosch Please see Jon Jarosch’s engineering report, dated May 15, 2019, attached to this report. Police Department, Scott Nadeau Prior to a certificate of occupancy being granted a security plan must be reviewedand approved via public safety City Clerk Division, Andrea Sindt All business licenses held by the Moose Lodge require new applications and approvals under the new address. Licenses are not transferrable between addresses. Citizen Comments Staff surveyed the 165property owners within 500 feet of this site for their comments. There were 13 replies. 1.I have two concerns: 1. Increase traffic on Hazelwood St will make it difficult to exit the property at Cardinal Pointe.2. Horseshoe pits will/could mean noise and lights into the evening hours. We live on the north end of Cardinal Pointe and both of these issues would be of concern to us. Thank you for your attention to our concerns. (Kathy & Mike Mueller,3003 Hazelwood St Unit 332) 2.I oppose this development. Forty-eight cars and far more people that then would be disruptive to traffic and to the neighborhood. I would like to know the number of patrons expected on weekdays, week nights, weekend days, and weekend nights.I assume alcohol will be served and I oppose this in my residential neighborhood. Plus the appearance of the proposed construction is not appealing at all. (Beth Forristall,1565 Legacy Pkwy E, #4) 3.This letter is the response from Trails Edge of Maplewood, 3000 Country View Dr., Maplewood, with comments on the above proposed development. The comments have been reviewed and approved by the ownership. a.The building has a less than expected aesthetic appeal due to the Butler building under- lying structure with very little decoration. The drawings do not present a building that would be up to the standards of the other buildings in the neighborhood -either commercial or residential. b.Parking for the use seems very limited and doesn't meet the City code requirements. Based on experience with facilities of this nature and use, it would be expected that approximately 1/3 of the space would be devoted to kitchen, bar, restroom, storage and other "commercial" used and the balance of the space would be for patron use -bar service and tables. The code would then require 1 stall for every 200 sq. ft. of commercial-5000 sfx 1/3 = 1665/200 = 8.33 stalls and the patron area (requires 1 stall per 50 sf per code) would be 5000 sfx 2/3 = 3335/50 = 66_67_ The total stalls required would then be 75. The plan presented only has 48 stalls shown. Since there is no on- street parking in the direct area, the lack of parking should be concerning to all of the neighbors. c.The general use is acceptable to Trails Edge, even though it seems a rather odd fit for the location. The lack of other commercial uses adjacent makes this appear to be spot zoning, but, as said, Trails Edge doesn't object to the use. d.The landscaping seems to be minimal around and adjacent to the pond at the point of the property which will be very visually prominent. We very much appreciate the opportunity to comment on this project. Please keep us informed if the project proceeds. (Jim Kellison, Owner’s Representative of Trails Edge, 3000 Country View Drive) 4.I am a resident of Cardinal Pointe of Maplewood, 3003 Hazelwood Street. My biggest concern of the Moose Lodge proposal is the traffic on County Road D and Hazelwood Street. The three way stop signs don't seem to be adhered by all. The traffic has increased with the Healtheast Clinic already. With the new apartments on the corner of Hazelwood St. and D, the building of the 4 story apartment next to Costco and now thee Moose Lodge, you may (must) put in traffic lights on County D and Hazelwood. What kind of hours will the Moose Lodge be open, will they have a liquor license and gambling license. All this will contribute to noise, lights and traffic. Will there be some kindof barrier (evergreens, etc) put up on the south end of their boundary? How does the highline poles and wires effect this building? If the Moose Lodge couldn't make it at English and Frost Avenue, can they make it here? Hopefullyallthese things will be considered. (John Olson, 3003 Hazelwood St Unit333) 5.We already have increased traffic on Hazelwood from the new apartments. If it is approved, a signal light needs to be installed at Hazelwood and Co Rd D. We are not in favor of this building. (Kenneth and Sharleen Jacka, 3003 Hazelwood St Unit317) 6.Most of us are happy with the Moose Lodge next door to us. I myself am pleased, having been a member. It is a neat and nice looking building and landscaping looks good. (Florence Bye, 3003 Hazelwood St Unit137) 7.Concerns abouta place that has a bar – late hours and possible difficulties that can arise in an area by residents, seniors and families. What are the restrictions that a fraternal club has on them to control problems? How will it affect market value of our co-op community. (Mary Lessard, 3003 Hazelwood St Unit109) 8.New apartments clinic, hospital, town homes and Cardinal Pointe already here. Lots of traffic – might need light at Hazelwood and D for better traffic control. (John and Clarice Gibbons, 3003 Hazelwood St Unit305) 9.Why would you put something like the Moose Lodge that serves alcohol by dwellings that have kids in the area? What about all their party rooms for weddings etc are the going to be shut down at 10 p.m. or are we going to hear cars and drunk people all night long. I live toward the north end of Cardinal Pointe. I do not want to hear all the noise plus all the extra traffic it will generate. With the new HealthEast Medical building the traffic has gotten really bad on Hazelwood. Also we now have a bus line that rumbles past every morning 4 or 5 o’clock in the morning. I moved to Maplewood thinking it would be a nice place to retire. Not so nice and quiet now. Cause all Maplewood sees is money, money, money. Who cares what we want. The residents. (Noname or address given) 10.We have been members of the Moose Lodge for a long time – years ago that is. We did a lot, playing bocce ball, dance, 500 card club, bingo. As we age we had to slow down. The new Moose Lodge is close to where we live, Cardinal Pointe we hope to stop in off and on. Good luck, this was needed for a long time!(Davey and Maxine Ylinen, 3003 Hazelwood St Unit 24) 11.Ramsey County does not have concerns about this development proposal as the agency leading development of the Rush Line BRT Project.The Rush Line BRT is proposed to travel past 3033 Hazelwood Street North in mixed traffic on Hazelwood Street North. Improvements to the intersection of Hazelwood Street North and County Road D are planned as part of the Rush Line BRT Project to allow the BRT to travel between Hazelwood Street North and the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority right-of-way. The portion of Parcel 032922210117 that is adjacent to 3033 Hazelwood Street North is not expected to be impacted as part of the Rush Line BRT Project. (Frank Alarcon, Ramsey County Public Works -Multimodal Planning) 12.Ourtwo main concerns are noise and traffic – with noise being ourbiggest concern. We notice from Moose Lodge’s current web page that they have music events. We do not want these to be outdoors and also do not want indoor noise to be loud enough to be heard at our home. As neighbors, we also want to be able to visit the Moose Lodge to eat or attend events without being members. (Karen Dyson and Matt Karason,1549 Legacy Parkway E) 13.I’m okay with it – would like the Moose instead. (Lillian Johnson, 3003 Hazelwood St Unit 229) 14.I am strongly opposed to approving a CUP for this for this purpose. I work for North Lakes Property Mgmt. We own and manage the Conifer Ridge Apartments located directly to the east of this proposed site. I am very concerned that this use will be a deterrent to people choosing to live in this up and coming residential area for the following reasons: a.The use will certainly change the character of the area. We built our property to preserve the landscape and woodland areas. It is a peaceful serene neighborhood. Placing a bar/restaurant/banquet hall in this area, has a negative effect on the current character. b.The use will depreciate adjacent residential property values. Owning property next to a bar is not viewed as an asset. Our residents and most likely many of the neighbors or people looking to locate to the area, will not view the Moose Lodge as an asset to have in their back yard. c.The Moose Lodge being located so closely to residential areas will create several nuisances. There will be a significant increase in traffic related noise and potential congestion during late evening hours. There will be smoking outside of the building that will no doubt effect the outdoor air quality of the neighborhood along and our no smoking property. There will be outdoor horseshoe pits, that will create more opportunity for excessive noise relating to drinking, partying, and music. d.The use of this land does not conserve the natural features of the area. I do not believe bars are meant to be in residential settings. e.I am very respectful of the Moose organization and what they stand for. I strongly believe it does not make sense to locate their Lodge right next to residential properties. This will undoubtedly degrade the value and appeal of the area. I realize that the city will gain from the property tax that selling and developing this parcel will create. I also understand it is inevitable that this site will be developed. I just do not think the use should be one that creates a hardship and a deterrent for the neighbors and other businesses that have chosen to make Maplewood their home. (Jody Hadrava, Property Manager Conifer Ridge) 15.I foresee disruptions and complications of a lodge/bar right next to not only our own property, but several others as well, including a senior community.You are proposing to put a bar right in the middle of upscale residential housing. The apartments and townhomes in this area are upscale/luxury and the residents pay a lot of money to live here. Part of the appeal of this neighborhood is the quiet, residential area... putting a bar next door will detract from this setting immensely. Cars and people will be pulling in and out late into the night causing noise issues, and smoke from the parking lot and people smoking will drift ontoour property... This will create major disruption to the peace and quiet of our community—the residents won’t be able to sit on the patio or have their windows open without hearing these noises all night. There is also the concern that the Lodge visitors will simply cross Hazelwood to park in our parking lot, loiter on our property, leave garbage around, walk into our building or garages.While I’m sure that many Lode visitors are upstanding citizens and won’t cause trouble, any kind of gathering place, especially one that serves alcohol, does and will disrupt the community.There will be more police calls to the area by disgruntled residents, more security needed…. and so on. This will create a hardship to our business. A hardship to any business in Maplewood is a hardship to Maplewood itself. The appeal of this part of Maplewood is the residential aspect, the natural wooded areas, bike trails, access to the environment. Putting a bar in detracts from every single one of those aspects. Bars (and liquor stores) are notorious for being off-putting to residents and home buyers and will lessen the economic value of this piece of Maplewood. If people don't want to live near a bar, then they will go elsewhere to live, most likely out of Maplewood itself. Cause and effect might be having to lower rents, accepting a different tenant base, houses won't sell or will sell for a much lower price, all of this lowering the value of properties as well as the community and Maplewood itself. To be honest, I’m surprised this parcel of land is zoned as commercial with all of the residential housing surrounding it.There is so much undeveloped land in Maplewood (Frost Ave area for one…) and so much business moving or leaving other areas (White Bear Ave and H 36, north side) that it is shocking to me that a bar would be allowed in this particular area of Maplewood, which is one of the nicest areas Maplewood has to offer.
