Background RSI on behalf of 3M has applied for design review of a proposed project to renovate and repair exterior walls of Building 235 on the 3M campus. The building is comprised of three main portions, which are described and illustrated in the applicantÓs narrative (attached). The main building was originally constructed in 1964, with two additions on the north side in 1978, and a third addition along the west side in 2004. The proposed project will include the installation of a new brick veneer cavity wall over air and moisture barrier systems, general brick veneer maintenance, and replacing aluminum window unit frames and glazing. The project will not expand the building footprint. Finally, as part of this project some tree removal to obtain access to areas under construction will be required. Trees and mulched landscaping beds will be restored to their original condition.

The City received the application on March 18, 2021, and deemed it complete on March 31, 2021, so the initial 60-day review deadline is May 30, 2021. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city is allowed to take an additional 60 days if necessary in order to complete the review. Background 3M has applied for design review of a proposed building addition to the north side of the existing central utility building (building 231), located within the 3M campus. The addition will be approximately 6,324 sq. ft. and will house a new central boiler system and provide space for future chillers. The area where the proposed building addition will be located is currently vacant with no trees, landscaping or structures. The building expansion will match the exterior of the existing brick façade and the height of the proposed structure and walls will match the existing structure elevations. There will be a boiler stack that will extend above the roof, however, it will match the existing boiler stack to the south.

Applica ntÓs plans (11 pages) E2, Attachment 1 E2, Attachment 2 Ќa .ǒźƌķźƓŭ ЋЌЊ tƩƚƆĻĭƷ 5ĻƭĭƩźƦƷźƚƓ This project will construct an expansion to the north side of the existing central utility building #231 on the 3M Center campus. The central plant is located south of Conway Avenue and east th of 4 Street. The site disturbance will minimally extend beyond the footprint of the expansion. No new vehicle parking lot is required. The existing trailer unloading dock will be removed. The site surrounding the expansion is relatively flat and has no trees. No new buried site utilities are required for this project, although two existing buried utilities (mostly under the footprint of the expansion) will be removed and replaced in the same alignment. The exterior of the expansion will have a brick façade, to match the existing brick exterior. The height of the western portion of the addition will match the height of the existing building 231 roof to the south. The height of the eastern portion of the addition will match the height of the existing building 210 roof to the east and south. There will be a boiler stack that will extend above the roof of the expansion, up to an elevat match the elevation of the existing stack to the south. This expansion will be used to install a new central boiler system, as well as make space provisions for future chillers.

E3 COMMUNITY DESIGN REVIEW BOARD STAFF REPORT Meeting Date April 20, 2021 REPORT TO: Melinda Coleman, City Manager REPORT FROM: Michael Martin, AICP, Assistant Community Development Director PRESENTER:Michael Martin, AICP, Assistant Community Development Director AGENDA ITEM: Design Review, Maplewood Gardens, 410 McKnight Road South Action Requested: Motion Discussion Public Hearing Form of Action:ResolutionOrdinanceContract/AgreementProclamation Policy Issue: Twin Cities Housing Development Corporation recently acquired the existing 29-unit apartment complex located at 410 McKnight Road South. The property owner is proposing to substantially rehabilitate the property. The apartment complex is an approved use for this site but the design of the improvements needs to be reviewed and approved by the Maplewood Community Design Review Board. Recommended Action: Motion to approve the design plans date-stamped March 26, 2021, for the 29-unit apartment complex located at 410 McKnight Road South. 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. The applicant must obtain a building permit prior to construction. 4. Meet all requirements in the engineering report, dated April 13, 2021. 5. Meet all requirements in the environmental report, dated April 13, 2021. 6. The applicant must meet water quality requirements and obtain a grading permit prior to construction. 7. The applicant shall obtain all required permits from the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District. 8. The applicant shall provide a revised site plan showing the removal of the two proposed parking spaces north of the new garage. E3 9. The applicant is required to meet all signage requirements for this site. This property is allowed to have one monument sign. 10. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall provide the city with a cash escrow or an irrevocable letter of credit for all required exterior improvements. The amount shall be 150 percent of the cost of the work. 11. 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 March 26, 2021. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is May 25, 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. Background: Design Review Site Plan The applicant’s plans include a sizable amount of exterior work including the removing and replacing of all the existing paving, curbs and sidewalks to address the existing exterior site and stormwater management issues. No changes to the overall site plan or to the access points from McKnight Road and Pond Avenue are proposed. The applicant is proposing to build a new two-stall ADA compliant garage on the north side of the site between garage 3 and garage 4. The new garage will be setback five feet from the east property line, which meets ordinance requirements. The applicant’s proposed site plan shows two new surface spaces directly north of the new garage. Surface parking is required to be setback at least 20 feet from a residential property line. These two proposed spaces do not meet this requirement and will be required to be removed from the site plan. Building Elevations The owner will be installing new fiber cement siding, windows and roofing to the existing buildings in addition to upgrading the exterior lighting and landscaping. Colors of the new materials will be change to the building from what exists today – see attachment 7 of this report. The new siding will be a dark brown in color, with white bands around windows. The applicant described the proposed color pallet as “a modern one that works with the building’s stark simplicity. Bracketing selected window groupings with white bands breaks up the regularity of the existing layout while the simple black lap siding field color is accented by yellow and rose colored panels at windows and entries.” E3 Landscaping The exterior improvements require the removal of ten significant trees (excluding trees in poor health and Siberian Elms exempt from the ordinance). The landscape plan shows 66 new trees which meets the city’s tree replacement requirements. In addition to the trees, the landscape plan details numerous shrubs and perennials to be planted throughout the site. Parking The city’s parking ordinance requires two spaces for each housing unit, which half of the spaces must be enclosed. The applicant’s plans meet this requirement. Lighting The applicant’s submitted photometric plan meets all city requirements. Department Comments Engineering Please see Jon Jarosch’s engineering report, dated April 13, 2021, attached to this report. Environmental Please see Shann Finwall’s environmental report, dated April 13, 2021, attached to this report. Citizen Comments Staff surveyed the 250 surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the proposed project area for their opinion about this proposal. Staff received two replies. 1. I received and reviewed the Design Review information packet sent to homeowners near 410 McKnight Road in Maplewood. I am pleased to see that the building and grounds on the property will be updated. As I understand it these design changes must be approved by the Maplewood Community Design Review Board with input from the public. I live in the Maplewood Hills Townhome complex adjacent to the property at 410 McKnight Road South. I and a number of the residents in the Maplewood Hills Townhome complex have one very major concern with the project: the removal of the chain link fence that separates the apartment property from our townhome complex. We have had issues with the apartment complex in the past and the fence has helped to prevent problems. Removal of the fence would lead to many problems including people trespassing through the townhome property. This would be very undesirable for the townhome owners. The fence provides a good physical separation for trespassers, children, dogs, leaves, trash and other undesirable activities. I would not approve of the removal of the chain link fence. I believe the chain link fence should be left in place to continue to prevent problems and issues in the future. Please consider my very concerned and strong recommendation that the chain link fence remain. I appreciate your assistance in addressing this matter. (Diane Krawetz, 433 Dorland Road South) E3 2. First - I appreciate that the public notice letter was sent to those of us across the street in St. Paul, so thank you for that. I would like to know more about the stormwater management issues with this project - to see how they may impact the neighbors on the St. Paul side of the street. Since 1978 acres of stormwater runoff in Maplewood have drained into a pipe that runs under McKnight Road and just empties into our yards. In 2003 we started a conversation with the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District who then coordinated an effort to alleviate this storm water issue on our properties - which are across the street from the 410 McKnight development. The parties involved were citizens (for which I was the spokesperson), St. Paul, Maplewood and Ramsey County. In a nutshell - the problem is that the stormwater from 22.4 acres of Maplewood drain into a county pipe that runs under McKnight Road (or overflows the pipe and goes over McKnight Road at 461 McKnight) and just empties out onto our properties, creating gullies and water problems. Eventually, work was done to somewhat alleviate the problem. Our concern is that addressing the “stormwater management issues” at the 410 McKnight development - will only increase the stormwater management issues on our side of McKnight. A new issue could be the overflow problem which may affect the sidewalk installation on the west side of McKnight Road between Londin Lane and Mailand Road.

E3, Attachment 8 Engineering Plan Review PROJECT: Maplewood Gardens Renovations 410-450 McKnight Road PROJECT NO: 21-15 COMMENTS BY: Jon Jarosch, Assistant City Engineer DATE: 4-13-2021 PLAN SET: Engineering plans dated 3-17-2021 The applicant is proposing extensive site modifications to the Maplewood Gardens property including removing and replacing all of the existing paving, curbs and sidewalks to address the existing exterior site and stormwater management issues. 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 a filtration basin and forebay. It appears from the information submitted that the project meets the City’s volume reduction and rate control requirements. This review does not constitute a final review of the plans, as the applicant will need to submit construction documents for final review, along with ratified agreements, 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) Soil boring information shall be submitted to support infiltration rates utilized in stormwater calculations. 3) A joint stormwater maintenance agreement with the City and RWMWD shall be signed by the owner for the proposed infiltration/filtration basins, underground infiltration system, and associated storm sewer system. E3, Attachment 8 Grading and Erosion Control 4) The filtration basins shall be protected from sedimentation throughout construction. 5) Inlet protection devices shall be installed on all existing and proposed onsite storm sewer until all exposed soils are stabilized. 6) Adjacent roadways shall be swept as needed to keep the pavement clear of sediment and construction debris. 7) All pedestrian facilities shall be ADA compliant. 8) A copy of the project SWPPP and NDPES Permit shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a grading permit. 9) The total cut/fill volume shall be noted on the grading plans. Sanitary Sewer and Water Service 10) Any proposed water service modifications are subject to the review and conditions of Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS). 11) The applicant shall be responsible for paying any SAC, WAC, or PAC charges related to the improvements proposed with this phase of the project. Appropriate fees shall be charged during the permitting process. Other 12) 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. 13) Grading and erosion control permit 14) Storm Sewer Permit 15) City Right-of-Way Permit - END COMMENTS - E3, Attachment 9 Environmental Review Project: Maplewood Gardens Date of Plans: March 17, 2021 Date of Review: April 13, 2021 Location: 410 – 450 McKnight Road South 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: Twin Cities Housing Development Corporation is proposing exterior work to the Maplewood Gardens complex at 410 – 450 McKnight Road South. The environmental review includes wetland and tree ordinance requirements, and recommendations on overall landscaping and filtration basin plantings. 1. Wetland Ordinance: The City’s wetland ordinance adopts the Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District’s wetland map. The wetland map identifies three classifications of wetlands including a Manage A (highest functioning), Manage B (high quality), and Manage C (moderate quality). Ponds not classified as a wetland are storm ponds. The ordinance restricts building, grading, or mowing within a wetland buffer as follows: Manage A – 100-foot wetland buffer; Manage B – 75-foot wetland buffer; Manage C – 50-foot wetland buffer; Storm Pond – no buffer requirement; 10-foot structure setback. Wetland/Storm Pond Classification: There is a Manage C wetland located on the south side of the property. The applicant submitted a wetland delineation report and request for incidental wetland status to the Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District. The report details that the wetland was not present prior to the construction of McKnight Road, but created by runoff from the road and surrounding developments. The September 29, 2020, watershed district notice of decision approves the incidental wetland status. As such, the wetland has been reclassified as a storm pond. Wetland/Storm Pond Impact: The applicant is proposing to construct a large filtration basin on the south side of the parking lot, adjacent the newly classified storm pond. The City’s wetland ordinance does not restrict grading or require buffers around storm ponds. Wetland/Storm Pond Recommendations: Refer to the engineering review and filtration basin planting recommendations below. 2. 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 E3, Attachment 9 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 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 Impacts: The tree survey identifies 61 significant trees situated on the lot (excluding trees in poor health and Siberian Elms exempt from the ordinance). Five of the trees are specimen trees (one cottonwood tree is 90 caliper inches in size). The overall caliper inches of significant trees on the lot is 1,102. The exterior improvements require the removal of ten significant trees (excluding trees in poor health and Siberian Elms exempt from the ordinance). Overall caliper inches of significant trees removed from the lot is 148.50 (there are no specimen trees scheduled for removal). Tree Replacement: The tree replacement calculation reflects that no tree replacement is required as part of the tree preservation ordinance. One reason for this is the preservation of all specimen trees on the lot, which allows a reduction in the number of replacement trees. The applicant must still meet all of the City’s landscaping requirements outlined in the design review and landscaping/screening ordinances. Replacement: The landscape plan shows 66 new trees equaling 175.5 caliper inches. The tree planting meets the tree preservation ordinance. Tree Recommendations: a. Submit a revised landscape plan showing: 1) The replacement of the paper birch (Betula papyfera) with river birch (Betula nigra). Paper birch trees are not climate adapted. 2) The replacement of half of the quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) with swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor). Quaking aspen spread via root suckering. For this reason the applicant should consider replacing a portion of the Quaking aspen with swamp white oak, which is climate adapted, can withstand wet areas, and is a good shade tree. 3. Overall Landscaping: Review of the overall landscaping plan to ensure landscaping is climate adaptive, includes native plants, and does not include invasive plants. E3, Attachment 9 Landscaping Recommendations:Submit a revised landscaping plan showing: a. The replacement of Cotoneaster with a native shrub. Several species of Cotoneaster have become invasive in the eastern US, including in Minnesota. Replace with a native shrub such as Bush honeysuckle (Diervilla lonicera), New Jersey tea (Ceanothus americanus), or blueberry cultivar (blueberries have wonderful fall color). b. Replace Molina caerulea and Pachysandra terminalis with native alternatives. Both species are invasive plants. Replace Molina caerulea with a native grass alternative such as Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans), Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), or Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii). Replace Pachysandra terminalis with native or non-invasive groundcover. c. Add native plants. There are very few native plants in the landscape plan, and very little for pollinators. Butterfly milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) and red milkweed (A. incarnate) would provide food for monarchs and other pollinators. d. Consider replacing ostrich fern. Ostrich fern is native, but aggressive and will likely take over and spread into lawn areas. e. Consider replacing the hostas. Be aware that there is a high deer population in the area and hostas are a favorite food. Wild ginger might be a good native alternative if the site is not too sunny. 4. Filtration Basin Plantings: The City requires filtration basins to be planted, ideally with deep-rooted native plants. 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. Filtration Basin Planting Recommendations: Please provide the following: a. A landscape drawing for the filtration 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. 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.
