The proposed project includes the demolition of the current station and clearing of a portion of the existing approximately three-acre site to allow for the construction of the new two-story, approximately 35,000 square foot North Fire Station. The new fire station will include drive-through apparatus bays, command vehicle parking, administrative space, meeting and living quarters for fire and EMS staff. Recommended Action: Motion to approve a resolution for a conditional use permit for a new fire station building at 1530 County Road C East. 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: This approval does not grant funding of the fire station project. The city council will be approving the funding of the project under a separate agenda item. 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 February 4, 2021. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is April 5, 2021. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city is allowed to take an additional 60 days if necessary to complete the review. PC Packet Page Number3 of 34 E1 Background: Conditional Use Permit All public buildings in Maplewood require city council approval of a conditional use permit. A special use permit was originally approved on September 27, 1973, permitting a fire station to operate on this site. The proposed new building will continue this established use. Staff believes the proposed new fire station building will continue to be compatible with this neighborhood. Design Review Site Plan The building will be situated on the site with the apparatus bays located to the west and the office and administration portion of the building to the east. Emergency response vehicles will have direct access to the north onto County Road C East with the return route off of Hazelwood Street North. To the north and south of the apparatus bay areas will be a concrete paved apron for vehicle access. Along the southern edge of the south paved apron 19 staff parking stalls will be provided along with a wooden privacy fence to minimize disruption to the adjacent residential property. To the east side of the new fire station building, a bituminous paved public parking lot is proposed with 39 parking stalls. Two bio infiltration basins will also be constructed in the southeast corner of the site as part of the storm water management system. County Road C, east of Hazelwood Street, is identified in the city’s Parks & Recreation Master Plan, along with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, as a priority corridor for pedestrian facilities. A sidewalk shall be installed along County Road C, from Hazelwood Street to the property limits at Germain Street. The applicant will need to work with the city’s engineering department to ensure the placement of the required sidewalk avoids and protects the oak tree near the corner of Hazelwood Street and County Road C. Building Elevations The building exterior is proposed to consist of load-bearing insulated precast concrete wall panels with a thin brick veneer. The brick veneer will be cast into the structural concrete wall panels to provide a brick masonry appearance to the building. Two colors of brick veneer will be used, a lighter gray as the main field color with a darker grey accent color. The steel framed roof structure will be clad with a membrane roofing system with a pre-finished dark bonze parapet cap. Rooftop mechanical equipment will be screened with a structural steel frame clad with metal panels to match the exterior building elements. Rooftop mechanical units will be placed over both the apparatus bay and the two-story administration and living quarters areas. Exterior windows will be aluminum storefront framing with a dark bronze anodized finish and insulated glazing. A continuous clearstory window will be incorporated along the north façade of the apparatus bay area. Exterior vehicle doors are proposed to be fully glazed, pre-finished metal overhead or four-fold doors in a matching color to the dark bronze roof edge trim. Pre-finished metal wall and soffit panels will be used to provide accent elements and a variety of textures to the exterior façade. A red accent color is being used both above the northern apparatus bay doors and in a vertical element along the east façade. A lighter gray accent color is also being used to clad a horizontal soffit element along the north and east façade of the two-story portion of the building. PC Packet Page Number4 of 34 E1 The upper portion of the west apparatus bay wall will be clad in pre-finished metal cladding and will incorporate a translucent panel window opening as can be seen in the northwest perspective view. The deviation from the brick clad precast panels used in other areas of the building is being driven in large part by the need to use a lighter weight structural system above a proposed storm shelter area. Landscaping The existing fire station was developed on the northwest corner of the property, encompassing only one-third of the site. The remaining open space is heavily wooded. The new fire station development includes a larger building and additional parking, encompassing two-thirds or more of the property. The development of the lot as proposed requires the removal of a large number of trees - 1,585 caliper inches, or 98 percent, of the significant trees on the site. The landscape plan shows 82 trees and 36 native shrubs, equaling 211 caliper inches of replacement trees. This is 1,624 caliper inches less than the 1,835 caliper inches of replacement trees required. Parking The project is proposing 39 parking spaces east of the building and 19 parking spaces south of the building – totaling 58 spaces for this site. City ordinance would require 42 spaces for the office areas of the building – 8,363 square feet – and 16 parking spaces for the bay parking areas inside of the building – 15,445 square feet. Staff is not including the living quarters area of the building for purposes of developing a parking count due to the unique nature of this building and deems the parking requirements are being met with this proposed project. Lighting The applicant’s submitted photometric plan meets all city requirements.

The department has spent the past several years studying our service delivery to ensure that we are delivering the most effective emergency response services to the residents and visitors of the City of Maplewood. Background: Prior to beginning architectural planning, the department held two open houses, conducted an online survey and had several articles on social media and our city newsletter about the re-alignment and the feedback has been largely supportive and positive. Timeline: January-May 2016: Fire/EMS Workgroup consisting of citizens, Fire/EMS staff and city administration examines Fire/EMS delivery. February-December 2017: City of Maplewood hires third party consultant to conduct fire station location and operational review after recommendations provided by the Fire/EMS Workgroup. January 2018: Fitch and Associates provides recommendations to Maplewood City Council. There are two key recommendations: -Transition to a full-time staffing model -Consolidate the North and Central Fire Stations as they were found to be 99% redundant in response coverage. March 2018: Fire department transitions to full-time staffing model May-July 2019: Staff conduct community outreach regarding the proposed station realignment via survey and open house/community meetings. September-December 2019: Architectural firm conducts Fire Station Needs Assessment and Design Recommendations February 2020: Fire Station Needs Assessment and Design Recommendations are presented to Maplewood City Council. May 2020: City enters into contract with Short, Elliot, Hendrickson for architectural and engineering services and building design commences. May 2020-January 2021: Schematic design, design development and construction documents are developed. February 2021: Presentation to Community Design Review Board PC Packet Page Number15 of 34 E1, Attachment 6 March 2021:Presentation to Planning Commission July 2021 (Proposed): Demolition of existing fire station and construction of new fire station begins. May 2022: Fire department occupies new fire station. Over the past several years, our firefighters living in our North Fire Station have experienced heating and air conditioning issues, leaking and frozen pipes, sewer and drainage issues along with several other mechanical and electrical issues. In addition to meeting basic departmental needs, the new station will account for modern day safety, wellness, support, administrative, operational, living and apparatus needs. The station will also feature multi-purpose rooms that will allow for community gatherings and Emergency Operations Center functions. Additionally, drive through apparatus bays will allow firefighters to safely exit and return to the fire station, eliminating the risk of backing injuries and damages. Project Description: The Maplewood Fire Department is proposing to build an approximately 35,000 square-foot new fire station building, replacing the existing station located at 1530 County Road C East. Call Volume Impacts: The Hazelwood Fire Station currently houses two personnel that operate a fire engine, an ambulance and a support vehicle. With the consolidation, the new station will house 7 shift personnel and administrative staff. Upon completion, the new station will house two engines, two ambulances, a ladder truck, two support vehicles and administrative vehicles. Over the past three years, the Hazelwood Fire Station has averaged 2,356 emergency responses annually. With the proposed consolidation of resources, the resources assigned to the new station will account for an estimated 4,856 responses annually. PC Packet Page Number16 of 34 E1, Attachment 6 Closing: The Maplewood Fire Department has evolved to continue to meet the community’s needs, the fire station re-alignment is the next step in this process. This step will consolidate two stations that were found to be redundantly placed into a single, state of the art facility that will meet the response needs of our community, the business needs of department operations and the safety needs of our firefighters now and into the future.

The applicant is requesting design approval. As this project is projected to disturb more than ½ acre, it is required to meet the City’s stormwater quality and rate control requirements. Stormwater management for the site is proposed to be accommodated via the use of two bio-infiltration systems. This review does not constitute a final review of the plans, as the applicant will need to submit construction documents for final review, prior to issuing building and grading permits. The following are engineering review comments on the design and act as conditions prior to issuing permits: Drainage and Stormwater Management 1) The project shall be submitted to the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (RWMWD) for review. All conditions of RWMWD shall be met. 2) The applicant shall submit a stormwater management plan and calculations prior to permit approvals. This plan shall detail how the proposed site will meet the City of Maplewood and RWMWD’s stormwater requirements. 3) Soil boring information shall be submitted to support infiltration rates utilized in stormwater calculations. 4) A stormwater maintenance agreement with the RWMWD shall be signed by the owner for the proposed bio-infiltration basins and associated storm sewer system. 5) Rip-rap spillways are difficult to maintain, particularly when not paired with an adequate sediment removal system. Pre-treatment devices (sump-manhole, Rain Guardian, etc.) shall be installed upstream of the proposed rip-rap spillways. Replacing the rip-rap lined PC Packet Page Number24 of 34 E1, Attachment 10 spillways with sumped catch-basins and piping is recommended to establish an easily maintained system with low velocities, reducing the chance for erosion. 6) Minimum ditch slopes of 2% are recommended to ensure adequate flow and reduce the chances of standing water, which will hinder the establishment of native seedings. 7) Underdrains should be considered beneath the bio-infiltration basins as a backup measure to ensure the basins draw down within acceptable timeframes. This is especially important during the establishment of vegetation. 8) Maintenance access routes shall be provided to the bio-infiltration systems and associated storm sewer structures. Grading and Erosion Control 9) The bio-infiltration systems shall be protected from sedimentation throughout construction. 10) Inlet protection devices shall be installed on all existing and proposed onsite storm sewer until all exposed soils are stabilized. 11) Adjacent roadways shall be swept as needed to keep the pavement clear of sediment and construction debris. 12) All pedestrian facilities shall be ADA compliant. 13) A copy of the project SWPPP and NDPES Permit shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a grading permit. 14) The total cut/fill volume shall be noted on the grading plans. Sanitary Sewer and Water Service 15) The proposed 4” PVC sanitary sewer service shall be reviewed to ensure it provides adequate capacity for the proposed facility. Upgrading in size to 6” PVC is highly recommended. 16) Any proposed water service modifications are subject to the review and conditions of Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS). The applicant shall submit plans and specifications to SPRWS for review and meet all requirements they may have prior to the issuance of a grading permit by the City. PC Packet Page Number25 of 34 E1, Attachment 10 17) The applicant shall be responsible for paying any SAC and WAC charges related to the improvements. Appropriate fees shall be charged during the permitting process. Other 18) County Road C east of Hazelwood Street is identified in the City’s Parks & Recreation Master Plan, along with the Comprehensive Plan, as a priority corridor for pedestrian facilities. A sidewalk shall be installed along County Road C, from Hazelwood Street to the property limits at Germain Street. 19) Consideration shall be given to snow removal activities on the site. The current landscaping plan leaves little room for snow storage, making it very difficult to remove snow from the parking lot and drive areas. The designers shall work with the City’s Public Works Department to ensure snow removal activities are accommodated. 20) The proposed privacy fence along the southwest parking lot will make it very difficult to remove snow from the parking lot. Consideration shall be given to moving this fence to allow for snow storage. 21) Larger radii shall be considered for the parking lot entrances onto Hazelwood Street and County Road C. The City typically utilizes a minimum 20’ radius in these situations. 22) The plans shall be signed by a professional engineer currently licensed in the State of Minnesota. 23) The proposed construction within the County Road C right-of-way is subject to the review of Ramsey County. All work within County Right-of-way will require a permit from the County. All conditions of Ramsey County shall be met prior to the issuance of permits. Public Works Permits The following permits are required by the Public Works Department for this project. The applicant should verify the need for other City permits with the Building Department. 24) Grading and erosion control permit 25) Sanitary Sewer Permit 26) Storm Sewer Permit 27) City Right-of-Way Permit - END COMMENTS - PC Packet Page Number26 of 34 E1, Attachment 11 Environmental Review Project: Maplewood North Fire Station Date of Plans: February 2, 2021 Date of Review: March 9, 2021 Location: 1530 County Road C East Reviewers: Shann Finwall, Environmental Planner (651) 249-2304; shann.finwall@maplewoodmn.gov Carole Gernes, Natural Resource Coordinator (651) 249-2416, carole.gernes@maplewoodmn.gov Background: The Maplewood Fire Department is proposing to build an approximately 35,000-square-foot fire station building, replacing the existing fire station located at 1530 County Road C East. The environmental review includes tree removal and replacement, overall landscaping, infiltration basin plantings, and general Green Building Code review. 1. Tree Preservation Ordinance: The City’s tree preservation ordinance describes a significant tree as a hardwood tree with a minimum of 6 inches in diameter, an evergreen tree with a minimum of 8 inches in diameter, and a softwood tree with a minimum of 12 inches in diameter. Specimen trees are healthy trees of any species which are 28 inches in diameter or greater. Non- native invasive trees, regardless of size, are exempt from the requirements. The ordinance requires any significant tree removed be replaced based on a tree mitigation calculation. Tree Standards: The City’s tree standards outlines tree replacement and tree species requirements. Following are standards that apply on this development: Tree Replacement Requirements - An applicant must first plant as many replacement trees on site as possible. Once achieved, an applicant can mitigate the tree loss as follows: a) mulched beds of native or drought tolerant shrubs that are not required as part of foundation, screening, or stormwater planting requirements; b) alternative forms of mitigation approved by the City including buckthorn removal and management; or c) paying into the City’s tree fund at a rate of $60 per caliper inch of tree that cannot be planted or mitigated on site. Tree species requirements - Where 10 or more replacement trees are required, not more than 30 percent shall be of the same type of tree species. Tree Impacts: The tree survey identifies 39 significant trees situated on the lot, 711 caliper inches. In addition to significant trees, there is a large burr oak located within the right-of-way on the corner of County Road C and Hazelwood Street (not included in the survey). PC Packet Page Number27 of 34 E1, Attachment 11 The lot is 3.05 acres in size. The existing fire station is located on the northwest corner of the property, encompassing only one-third of the site. The remaining open space is heavily wooded. The new fire station has a larger building and additional parking, encompassing two-thirds or more of the property. As such, the development requires the removal a large number of trees - 677 caliper inches, or 95 percent, of the significant trees on the site. The tree replacement calculation requires that 746.83 caliper inches of trees be replaced, or 373 – 2 caliper inch trees. Tree Replacement: The landscape plan shows 82 trees and 36 native shrubs, equaling 211 caliper inches of replacement trees. This is 535.83 caliper inches less than the 746.83 caliper inches of replacement trees required. Tree Recommendations: a. Tree removal mitigation strategies. The City shall consider implementing strategies to achieve the tree removal mitigation as follows: 1) Preserve the large burr oak tree located in the right-of-way at the intersection of County Road C and Hazelwood Street. Put in place tree protective and post-construction tree care mitigation. 2) Removal and management of all nonnative and invasive buckthorn and honeysuckle remaining on the site. 3) Increase in the size of the tree and shrub plantings. 4) Tree planting in the right-of-way. 5) Planting all areas identified as lawn with a no-mow fescue, bee lawn, or other drought tolerant and/or native plants. 6) Reduction in the development site to preserve trees including: a) Reduction in surface parking. b) Alternative stormwater management techniques such as impervious pavement parking lot or underground stormwater management. 7) If there is no room for additional trees, and all mitigation strategies have been applied, the tree ordinance allows for a tree fund payment at a rate of $60 per caliper inch of tree that cannot be planted on site. Under the current landscape plan scenario, with no mitigation strategies applied, the tree fund payment would be $32,149.80 ($60 x 585.83 caliper inches). 2. Overall Landscaping: Review of the overall landscaping plan to ensure nonnative or invasive species are avoided. PC Packet Page Number28 of 34 E1, Attachment 11 Landscaping Recommendations:Submit a revised landscaping plan showing: a. Landscaping plan legend identifying the number, species, and size of all plants and trees. A summarized legend was included in the tree survey, identifying that the full legend is located on sheet plan L200. However, sheet L200 was not included in the plan set. b. Replace Colorado spruce with Concolor spruce, Abies concolor, or an alternative white spruce. Colorado blue spruce, Picea pungens, is no longer recommended for Minnesota landscapes due to its susceptibility to several debilitating spruce diseases, most specifically Rhizosphaera needle cast and Cytospora canker. c. Replace at least two of the five maple trees with Shagbark hickory. Maples make up 23% of the shade trees on the property. While this meets the City’s tree standards with less than 30% as one species, increasing the species diversity on the site will also help mitigate the tree loss. Shagbark hickory is on the list of climate resilient trees for the Twin Cities Metro Area. d. Replace Japanese lilac with chokecherry, Eastern redbud, serviceberry, elderberry, or plum. Japanese lilac was found to have become invasive in multiple locations of Minnesota last year, including the Twin Cities Metro Area. e. Replace catmint with Aromatic aster, prairie smoke, or pussytoes. Catmint does not do well over time. Aromatic aster, Symphyotrichum oblongifolium, stays in a short mound and will provide fall color. Prairie smoke, Geum triflorum, is low-growing with a long season of colorful interest, plus it supports native bees. Pussytoes, Antenaria ssp, look nice mixed in with prairie smoke. All three of these species do well in hot, dry areas, which is the same areas that catmint does well. 3. Infiltration Basin Plantings: All infiltration basins are required to be planted, ideally with deep-rooted native plants. The City requires a portion of the basin to be planted rather than seeded; typically a minimum of 5,000 square feet of plantings are required on large basins. Using plants rather than seeds hastens establishment and provides a better chance of success. Basin bottoms and lower elevations almost never establish successfully from seed as the seed is washed away when stormwater flows into the basin. Infiltration Basin Planting Recommendations: Please provide the following: a. A landscape drawing for each infiltration basin, including list of species, container size, spacing, and quantities. b. If proposing seeding the bottom of the basins, provide explanation of measures that will be taken to ensure seed does not wash away. PC Packet Page Number29 of 34 E1, Attachment 11 c. For any area using a native seed mix (ex: pond slopes), provide information on maintenance for planting year (year 2 and 3), addressing what maintenance activities will be required and what entity (developer, owner, etc.) will take on this responsibility. 4. Green Building Code: The Maplewood Green Building Code is designed to reduce the negative impacts of the built environment on the natural environment and the building occupants. The code was adopted by the City Council in 2013, and is based on the National Green Building Standards for residential buildings and the International Green Construction Code (IGCC) for commercial buildings. The code is mandatory for all City-owned and financed buildings and redevelopment, and voluntary for all privately owned residential, commercial, and industrial buildings in the City. Green Building Code Recommendation: Development of the Maplewood North Fire Station should comply with the five components of the Green Building Code standards including energy efficiency, water reduction, sustainable material use, indoor air quality, and sustainable site management. The City should consider making the building solar ready and the parking lot electric vehicle ready. This will reduce costs for future renewable energy installations that support the Green Building Code standards.
