VI. DESIGN REVIEW
a. Cottagewood Town House Development - South of Highwood Avenue, east of
Dennis Street, west of 1-494.
Mr. Roberts said Mr. Phil So by is proposing to build 15 detached town houses in a
development called Cottagewood. It would be on a 3.71-acre site on the south side of
Highwood Avenue, east of Dennis Street.
Community Design Review Board
Minutes 9-19-2006

To build this project, Mr. Soby is requesting that the city approve the project design
plans (architectural, site, landscape, and lighting plans) for the site and buildings.
The project plans show that there would be three styles of town houses and that they
would have a mix of exterior treatments. These include horizontal-lap vinyl siding, vinyl
board and batten accents, aluminum soffits and fascia and brick or stone veneer
accents near the doors and on the base of the columns. In addition, each town house
unit would have a two-car garage.
On August 28, 2006, the city council approved the following for the Cottagewood
development:
1. A revision to a conditional use permit (CUP) for a planned unit development
(PUD). This revision was necessary since the city had approved different plans
for the site in 2003. The PUD gives the city and developer a chance to be more
flexible with site design and development details (such as setbacks and street
right-of-way and pavement widths) than the standard city requirements would
normally allow. Specifically, the proposed PUD revision would allow for smaller
average lot sizes, for the town houses to have a smaller setback to the front, side
and rear property lines than code allows and to have the town houses on a
private driveway.
2. A preliminary plat to create the lots in the development (15 lots for the town
houses and one lot for the common area).
The project plans show 15 detached town house buildings within the site with three
different exterior designs. The proposed town house buildings should be attractive and
should fit in with the design of the existing homes in the area. They would have a mix of
exterior materials that include horizontal vinyl siding with a stone veneer near the doors,
on the column bases and on the fronts, and the roofs would have asphalt shingles. In
addition, there would be a mix of lookout, full basement and walkout units, and each unit
would have aluminum soffits and an attached two-car garage.
Staff does not have any major concerns about the proposed town house elevations
since this development will be on a cul-de-sac and would be somewhat isolated. In fact,
only the buyers of the town houses would be able to see the fronts of the new buildings.
However, the project plans do not specify the colors of the materials for any of the units.
Staff should review and approve a color scheme for all building materials in the whole
development before the city issues a building permit.
Chairperson Olson asked how the traffic would impact the existing neighborhood from
this development proposal?
Mr. Roberts said its staff's opinion, based on statistics that each town home would
generate about 6 vehicle trips a day for each of the 15 detached town homes meaning
about 90 trips a day. As such, the traffic wouldn't create a large impact on the area.

Minutes 9-19-2006

Chairperson Olson asked if there were any significant trees on the site and would the
new tree ordinance apply to this proposal?
Mr. Roberts said there are some significant trees on the site and the southern part of
the site will be put into a conservation easement and protected so trees are being
preserved in that area. Some trees will be lost and staff was not sure of the count.
Chairperson Olson asked the applicant to address the board.
Mr. Phil Soby, Owner and Developer, Lauren Co. Development, 200 East Chestnut
Street, Suite 204, Stillwater, addressed the board.
Chairperson Olson asked if he brought any building material samples to show the
board?
Mr. Soby said he apologizes but there was a miscommunication regarding the color
samples for the siding, shingles and stone so those aren't available but he did bring a
sample of the exterior light. The siding is vinyl and will be offered in 7 earth tone colors.
The buyer will determine which lot they prefer and which town home design they prefer,
plan A, B, or C and they will choose the building material colors they prefer. What has
been determined is which units would be on the two lots facing Highwood Avenue to
address the concerns of the design of the end units which are designed so the garage is
to the opposite side away from Highwood Avenue. The more detailed elevation in the
staff report that is shown with the fireplace and the windows would be design of the
elevation that would face Highwood Avenue. There are two different types of siding, the
siding below the roofline is lap siding and the other above the roofline and the side and
front gables is referred to as a board and batten type siding which is also a vinyl product
and would be in a two tone scheme. For example, the lower portion may be tan and the
upper portion could be linen color with white trim to give a dimensional look to the
design. All of the units would be done in the same manner in terms of the trim and four
sided architecture. The stone chase fireplace will be an optional feature and expense
and we are not sure how many customers will choose it. The standard gas fireplace
would be the doghouse bump out. Each townhome unit will have the same lighting
fixtures throughout the site with a light on each side of the garage door and by the
entrance to the home. The garage doors will be a cottage style to fit in with the
craftsman style design of the townhomes. They want the town home units to have
character and will have custom features, they don't want the units to look uniform but
they still want things to be somewhat consistent in design throughout the site.
Board member Hinzman asked if the garage doors on the town homes would be a
standard feature or an upgrade for the customer?
Mr. Soby said the garage doors as shown would be standard and would have a lot of
curb appeal.
Board member Hinzman asked if the board and batten vinyl siding would project?
Community Design Review Board
Minutes 9-19-2006

Mr. So by said yes. The old fashioned manner for structures such as a barn was to use a
1 x 2 product and that is the same projection this molded vinyl product will have and be
installed vertically 8 inches on center. This gives a good shadow line detail and adds
style to the home.
Chairperson Olson said you referred to these town homes as affordable units. She
asked what the asking price will be for these individual units?
Mr. Soby said what is considered to be affordable now is possibly unaffordable to others
but the goal is to keep the units under $300,000 and would be priced in the high
$200,OOO's, however; these units have the "potential" to be priced over $300,000. There
will be a base price of about $275,000 and if the customer would like extra options
added the price would go up to around $300,000.
Chairperson Olson said this appears to be a proposal using quality products with a nice
design to the town homes and she likes that they are detached units.
Board member Hinzman asked if there would be an overhang of the main floor over the
walkout elevation for the rear elevation?
Mr. Soby said that's a flat surface with a rim board or starter board and in a color band
of the trim color. It's pretty close to where the bottom of the floor trusses would sit at the
top of the foundation.
Chairperson Olson asked how they are proposing to construct the retaining walls and
what product would you use?
Mr. Soby said in the areas where the retaining wall is drawn consecutively on the site
plan it will be one whole retaining wall. Where room allows they will use a boulder
retaining wall to keep with the natural look of the site. There are a few areas where the
retaining wall area is less in lineal footage and they will probably have to use a retaining
wall block in 12 inch form, if room allows they will use a boulder retaining wall.
Mr. Roberts displayed on the screen where the retaining walls would be on the site
map.
Board member Ledvina said it appears they are going to have some split retaining walls
by the pond. He asked if the intention was to keep the retaining wall less than 4 feet in
height?
Mr. So by said due to comments from the watershed district there has been a revised
plan for the pond layout in the last few days. The retaining wall changed to one retaining
wall at a height no taller than four feet. The retaining wall will be two rows of boulders or
sometimes they will start off with larger boulders and taper down to smaller boulders.
Board member Ledvina wanted to clarify that they will in fact be using boulders for the
retaining wall whenever possible so that can be memorialized as part of the conditions.
Community Design Review Board
Minutes 9-19-2006

Mr. Soby said to clarify we will use boulders whenever possible; when space is tight we
will use a 12 inch retaining wall block of some kind.
Chairperson Olson said she wondered if there would be any problem with erosion
problems using boulders?
Mr. Soby said the experience has been that boulders are more stable as a retaining wall
and usually don't erode due to their expanse compared to the use of a retaining block
wall. We us a fiber net behind the boulders as well which helps contain the boulder in
place. The boulders are very significant in size and we usually get high marks from the
engineers with this type of retaining wall.
Chairperson Olson asked to see the light fixture proposed for this development.
Mr. Soby passed the light fixture around so the board members could see the finish,
size, and the style of the light fixture.
Board member Ledvina said he thinks this is a nice development. He likes the layout of
the proposal which is a vast improvement over past proposals. He likes the detached
town home units. He likes that this design doesn't have overpowering garages that
standout and overshadow the unit itself. He likes the style of the town home units and he
thinks a lot of thought has gone into the style of the homes and the development site as
a whole and he thinks this proposal is very well done.
Board member Hinzman agreed with those comments. These detached townhome units
have tremendous curb appeal and will be well placed in the marketing of these units
and will be a nice transition from the single family homes in the area with this density
proposed.
Chairperson Olson said we need to discuss the shortcomings in the landscaping that
staff commented on.
Mr. Roberts said the only thing the plan did not call out was the exact size of some of
the plantings and there is a condition included in the staff report on page 7 item (11)
which reads shows the sizes and for all trees and plants. The deciduous trees shall be
at least 2Y> inches in diameter and the coniferous trees shall be at least eight feet tall.
Board member Ledvina moved to approve the project plans date-stamped September 6,
2006, (site plan, landscape plan, grading and drainage plans and building elevations)
for the Cottagewood PUD. This development will be on the south side of Highwood
Avenue, west of 1-494 and east of Dennis Street. The city bases this approval on the
findings required by the code. The developer or contractor shall do the following:
(Additions are underlined and deletions are stricken.)
1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this
project.
2. Complete the following before the city issues a building permit:

Legacy Townhomes
County Road D between Kennard Street and Hazelwood Street
September 22, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
The Hartford Group, the master developer of Legacy Village, is proposing to develop the
final phase of town homes at Legacy Village. This proposal is for 91 townhomes which
would be located on the south side of County Road D between Hazelwood and Kennard
Streets. The exception to this site is that the southwest comer of County Road D and
Kennard Street will be developed with an office building as required by the approved
PUD (planned unit development). Refer to the attachments.
Requests
The applicant is requesting that the city council approve the following:
1. A preliminary plat to create home sites for sale.
2. Site, building and landscape plans.
BACKGROUND
July 14, 2003: The city council approved the Legacy Village PUD, comprehensive plan
amendment, tax-abatement plan and preliminary plat for Legacy Village.
July 10, 2006: Earlier this year, the applicant had proposed a 119-unit townhouse
development on this site that would have included the 1 %-acre parcel at the southwest
comer of County Road D and Kennard Street. This comer piece was intended to be
developed with Executive Office Suites in the PUD. The applicant had requested a
comprehensive plan amendment from BC (business commercial) to R3H (high-density
residential) and also an amendment of the PUD to build the townhomes. The city
council denied these requests because they preferred the office element of the PUD and
felt that the developer should still try to develop this comer with office suites as approved
in 2003.
Legacy Village Development History
Since the council approved the Legacy Village PUD, the following projects have been
approved or built:
. Heritage Square Townhomes (220 units)
. Heritage Square 2nd Addition (81 units)
. Wyngate Rental Townhomes (50 units)
. Ashley Furniture (completed)
. Kennard Professional Building (completed)
. Maplewood Sculpture Park (completed)
. Legacy Shoppes Retail (construction pending)
. Ramsey County Library (under construction)
. Seniors Apartment (116 units, approved and construction pending)
DISCUSSION
Density
The proposed density is below the previously approved number of units. This site was
approved to have 96 town home units. The applicant is proposing 91.
Preliminary Plat
The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary plat to sell the individual
townhomes. This is typical of such developments. Staff does not find any unusual
concems with doing so beyond the usual requirements for platting which include matters
like the signing of a developer's agreement, maintenance agreement, the approval of
final gradingldrainagelerosion-control/utility plans and the dedication of any necessary
easements that the city engineer may require. Maplewood Engineer, Michael
Thompson, reviewed this proposal and made several comments in his attached report.
Staff recommends that the city council require that the applicant comply with the
statements in Mr. Thompson's report as conditions of plat approval.
Design Review
Architectural
The proposed townhomes would be attractively designed and would be comparable in
design and materials to the other owner-occupied townhomes in Legacy Village. The
buildings would have rock-face concrete block foundations and horizontal-lap siding of a
fiber-cement material. The gable roofs would have asphalt shingles. Garage doors
would be metal with raised panels. A condition of the approval should be that any
exterior utility meters be screened in a decorative manner.
Buildina Setbacks
Building setbacks meet the reduced-setback concept approved for Legacy Village. The
PUD required a minimum building setback of 15 feet from street right-of-way lines. The
buildings meet this minimum setback.
Sidewalks
The applicant has laid the site out to accommodate pedestrian connections throughout
the development During the planning commission's review of the previous design, they
2
had recommended that the applicant provide crosswalks across Village Trail East to
acoess the pedestrian trail to the south. These crosswalks should be required by the
CDRB.
Visitor Parkina
The visitor-parking proposal meets the requirements of the PUD by providing at least
one guest space for each two units with at least five guest spaces within 200 feet of the
front door of all units.
LandscaoinQ
The proposed landscaping plan meets the direction of boulevard-tree spacing in the
PUD. The tree sizes meet code requirements. Staff recommends, though, that the
landscaping around the ponds in this development should be treated more attractively to
make them decorative amenities for the future residents of this neighbortlood. The
applicant should revise the landscaping plan for staff approval showing this additional
landscaping.
RamseyJWashington Metro Watershed District
The applicant must obtain all necessary pennits from the watershed district before
starting construction.
Building Official's Comments
Dave Fisher, the Maplewood Building Official, had these comments:
. The city will require a complete building code analysis when the construction plans
are submitted to the city for building pennits.
. All exiting must go to a public way.
. Provide adequate fire department access to the buildings.
. All buildings over 8,500 square feet must be fire sprinklered.
. I would recommend a pre-construction meeting with the contractor, the project
manager and the city building inspection department
Fire Marshal's Comments
Butch Gervais, the Maplewood Fire Marshal, had these comments/requirements:
. Need 20-foot emergency acoess road at all times.
. Fire protection system per codes and monitored.
. Fire alann system per code and monitored.
. Mini sounders in each unit.
. Fire deparbnent lockbox required. Get the paperwork from the fire marshal.

Park Director's Comments
Bruce Anderson, the Maplewood Parks and Recreation Director, has said that the city
will be constructing the 2.5-acre tot lot and east-west trail, which would be south of the
proposed project, next summer.
Police Department Comments
Lieutenant Kevin Rabbett noted there are no significant public safety concems. This
plan seems to meet the previously-approved plans for Legacy Village.
Engineering Comments
Maplewood Engineer, Michael Thompson, reviewed this proposal. Refer to Mr.
Thompson's report. Other than concems regarding utilities, grading, storm water
treatment and erosion control, Mr. Thompson stated that the developer shall:
. Implement a homeowner's association as part of this development to ensure that
there is a responsible party for the regular maintenance and care of the ponds,
rainwater gardens, retaining walls, private utilities and other features common to the
development.
. The developer shall sign a maintenance agreement, prepared by the city, for
rainwater gardens, ponds and sumps. The project plans shall clearly point out the
maintenance access route to each garden and basin.
. A 20-foot-wide easement needs to be dedicated over the centerline of the existing
18-inch storm sewer pipe that extends to Wetland F. The proposed steps over the
storm sewer pipe shall be relocated outside of the easement.
. The developer shall dedicate a pedestrian trail easement by separate document over
the trail on the south end of the development.
. The developer shall enter into a developer's agreement with the city for the
construction of the trail.
. The developer and project engineer shall satisfy the requirements of all permitting
agencies.
Citizen Comments
Of a large number of surveys staff mailed (209) to neighboring property owners, we
received very few replies. Of the eight that did reply, two had no comment and six were
opposed. Refer to the comments in the Citizen Comments section of this report for the
complete comments. The concems raised, though, were regarding increased traffic,
there being too many townhomes already and the loss of treesJweUandslwildlife.

Traffic
Traffic will increase with the continued build-out of Legacy Village. This is the reason,
however, for the extension and improvements of County Road D. These roadway
improvements will handle the future traffic needs.
Density-Too Manv Homes Alreadv
The housing in Legacy Village, along with the other nearby townhomes and
condominiums, will create a rather highly-populated area. This has been foreseen,
however, with all the multiple-dwelling housing planned for this area.
Some feel that the city should not allow any further development until all of the existing
homes have been sold and occupied. Unfortunately, the city cannot regulate the
mar1<et-place. We must allow housing based on the city's approved development plans
and our land use controls. If these are being met, the city cannot stop the proposed
development.
Loss of Wildlife. Wetlands and Trees
It is always sad and unfortunate to see the loss of trees and wildlife habitat This site,
however, was approved for development in 2003 and it is proceeding according to that
approved plan. Wetlands will be preserved or mitigated also as previously approved by
the PUD development plan.
COMMITTEE ACTIONS
(These comments were received during the subsequent review of this town
house proposal earlier this year.)
June 19,2006: The planning commission recommended approval of the land use plan
change, PUD amendment and preliminary plat. They also suggested that the
community design review board require designated crosswalks across Village Trail East
to access the pedestrian trail to the south.
June 27,2006: The community design review board recommended approval of the
design plans subject to conditions.

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Staff surveyed the 209 property owners within 500 feet of this site for their comments.
Of the eight replies received, two had no comment and six were opposed to this
proposal. (These comments were received during the city's review of this project earlier
this year.)
Opposed
. As a neighbor we completely disagree with this proposal. What we need in the area
is a kids' park and green land. We were in fact told by our builder, Town & Country
Homes, that at the time of our purchase that the city was thinking of having a park in
our neighborhood. (Shah, 1635 Legacy Parkway)
. Absolutely against any further development. The proposed area is the only area left
with any trees. When we moved into our town home, we looked out onto woods with
water and daily saw deer, fox and other wildlife. The new developments have
destroyed what nature was here and the new development will destroy the only
remaining nature. The developments have brought noise, increased traffic with high
speeds and destruction of nature. There will be nothing "pretty" about the area
anymore. This is the #1 reason we will be putting our home up for sale within the
next few months. (Henderson & Waller, 1621 County Road D)
. We oppose this development as it will diminish the wetlands which were on the
original plan. This development will also add even more traffic into the area. With all
the development thafs been done in the last year, we have high traffic already.
(Tom Gelbmann, president of the Board for the Cardinal Pointe members/owners,
3003 Hazelwood Street)
. I do not agree with tearing up the wetlands to build more town homes. The wetlands
is one reason why I bought my town house. I enjoy watching all deer walk through
there. Another reason why I bought my townhouse is because it is in a quiet location
away from the commercial business and other townhouses. I think if you built more
town houses in the area it will definitely lessen the chances for the rest of us to sell
our home in the future. I think adding more town houses to the area will lower the
market value. (Stebbing, 1567 County Road D)
. I would like to see more green space in Legacy. By cramming in so many condos,
ifs beginning to look like the projects. Please see to it that Legacy includes as much
open green space as possible on this comer to make this a more attractive
neighborhood. Consider this area 20-30 years from now. When overbuilding
consumes every inch of land, rarely is a healthy, vibrant neighborhood present.
Typically, this type of over-crowded area is pretty rough, attracting Iow-income
households, gangs and crime. (Bailey & Shenigo, 1613 County Road D)
. Refer to the attached e-mail letter from Jon Sticha, 1567 County Road D. Mr.
Sticha's concems are regarding loss of trees, wetland and wildlife habitat. More
housing will force existing homeowners to sell for less. There are too many
vacancies now. Is there really a need for more town homes in this area?

PROJECT: Legacy Town Homes of Maplewood
PROJECT NO: 06-11
REVIEWED BY: Michael Thompson (Maplewood Engineering Department)
DATE: September 19, 2006
The developer, Hartford Group, Inc. has re-submitted project plans for the for the last town home
segment of the larger Legacy Village development. The developer or project engineer shall
make the changes to the plans and site as noted and shall address the concerns listed.
Drainage & Treatment
1. All rainwater gardens, ponds, and wetlands shall have emergency overflow swales lined
with a permanent erosion control blanket (Enkamat, NAG350, or equal) extending to the
downstream receiving waters/drainage structure. Show this on the plans. The emergency
overflow elevation and path shall be marked on the plans also. The high water levels
need to be shown for the rainwater gardens.
2. Soil borings are not provided specifically within each proposed rainwater garden to
ensure a 72 he draw down time therefore under-drain systems must be installed for both
rainwater gardens. The under-drain systems shall be connected to the underground storm
system.
3. Catch basin manhole 401 should have a sump elevation of 892.94.
4. It is unclear how runoff is being directed into the rainwater garden on the north side of
the private road. On the second rainwater garden, the runoff is shown going from the
parking area down to the garden via a rip-rap path. This is unacceptable due to possible
erosion issues. The city recommends either using a drainage structure with flared end
outlet or using a permanent Enkamat lined swale with rip-rip to extend all the way to the
base of the garden.
5. Rip-rap shall extend from all flared end section down to the base of all ponds/gardens for
all outlets.
Grading & Erosion Control
1. The project engineer shall clearly detail a street-sweeping on the grading and erosion
control plan for Kennard and Hazelwood Streets to address any tracking that may occur
from the proposed development area. Also on the project plans, include a note that states
watering of the site must occur regularly to keep dust to a minimum.
2. Any graded areas left undisturbed for more than 14 days shall be stabilized with a
temporary seed such as MNDOT 110 O. On sheet Ll01 it refers to and old MNDOT
seed mix of 60A which is no longer valid.
19
Page 2 of3
3. Show location and details of concrete washouts.
4. The grading at the southeast corner of the project shows a significant area draining to the
low spot near the trail. Show spot elevation to ensure that there will be no standing water
and that all runoff will get into the drainage structure.
5. The project engineer shall provide more information on the measures of containment for
the stockpile in the northeast corner of the development and any other future stockpiles.
Is the stockpile going to be used during rough grading and are there going to be multiple
stockpile during rough grading? Will there be any excess material to be stockpiled after
rough grading? If so, the stockpile must be seeded with MNDOT 150 TS or similar once
site is stabilization. Please make this note on the plans.
6. The plans show stairs along various locations of the 5-foot wide concrete walk through
the site. Please contact the City of Maple wood building department to see is ADA
standards must be met.
7. The grading erosion and control plan shall provide phasing information through housing
construction. More erosion and sediment control devices may be required at that time.
Utilities
1. Submit plans to Mike Anderson at Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) located
at 1900 Rice St, Maplewood (2nd Floor) for their review and approval. The fire hydrant
located at the end of the private drive for Units 7-12 and 13-18 within Block 2 is located
against a retaining wall (does not have 8-feet oflateral separation). This could pose a
freeze issue and must be discussed in length with Mike Anderson.
2. Submit plans to Tina Carstens at Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District located
at 2665 Noel Drive, Little Canada for their review and approval.
3. Get proper water and sewer permits for the private development.
Miscellaneous
1. The developer or project engineer shall submit a copy of the MPCA's construction
stormwater permit (SWPPP) to the city before the city will issue a grading permit for this
project.
2. The developer shall implement a homeowners association as part of this development to
ensure that there is a responsible party for the regular maintenance and care of the ponds,
rainwater gardens, retaining walls, private utilities, and all other features common to the
development.
20
Page 3 of3
3. The developer shall sign a maintenance agreement, prepared by the city, for the gardens,
ponds, and sumps. The project plans shall clearly point out the maintenance access route
to each garden and basin.
4. A 20' wide easement needs to be dedicated over the centerline of the existing 18" storm
sewer pipe that extends to Wetland F. The proposed steps over the storm sewer pipe
shall be relocated outside of the easement.
5. The developer shall also dedicate a pedestrian trail easement on the plat or by separate
document over the trail on the south end of the development.
6. The developer and project engineer shall satisfy the requirements of all permitting
agencies.
7. The developer shall install crosswalk striping at the trail connection across Village Trail
East.
8. The city will be investigating the feasibil~ of installing a traffic signal at the intersection
of Hazelwood Avenue and County Road )'to mitigate the increase in traffic due to
development in the area. p

Subject: Development Proposal - Legacy Townhomes Proposal
I recently recieved information In the mail informing Maplewood citizens in my area about a proposed
development by the Hartford Group, for the area south of County Road D between Hazelwood and Kennard
Street. Tom Ekstrand has asked for a few comments, so I thought I would share them with all of you.
First off, I don't want to sound like a hypocrit. I understand that growth and development in Maplewood has
enabled myself to have a new town home in a new development. I don't take issue with a developer wanting to
build. I take issue with where and when they want to build.
The area being proposed for development is a wetland with big tall pine trees. When I chose to move to
Maplewood, one of the things I really liked about my current residency was the view. Being in the city, but being
able to look out and see habitat such as geese and the deer we have living there, has made this a very cozy
place to live. It would be ashame to see a nice, natural habitat like that destroyed.
Secondly, the timing. There have been so many townhomes built in this area during the last year that supply has
far outweighed demand. There are new places being developed between Kennard and HOM Furnishings as well
as many new townhouse buildings between Kennard and Hazelwood on Legacy Parkway. I've been closely
watching these areas develop and two things are clear, construction speeds are slowing and houses are sitting on
the market much longer. For example, the development I live in was forced to lower their selling price by $15,000
because they have 5 out of 6 townhomes on one side that they can't sell. With so much recently built and so
many in the process I don't see why we need to develop the propsed area at this lime.
. -
What would I like to see happen? Again, I'm not opposed to growing and developing Maplewood, just the area
and the timing. First of all, couldn't we find a better area for the Hartford Group to develop? What about an area
like the old City View golf course along Beam? Maybe there are already plans for this, but it's an example of an
area that would be much more appropriate for development. The other thing I would like to see happen is to make
the Hartford Group wait on their development With so many vacancies why do we need to develop this area now.
If in a year our two from now, all tha existing homes in the area have been filled, and demand is still that strong, I
may be more Inclined to approve of their development. Assuming of course a better location can't be found. But
right now there is realistically no need for more development.
So there are my thoughts. If any of it is unclear, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,

Boca Chica Taco House Sign Variance
1706 White Bear Avenue
October 18, 2006 for the October 24 CDRB Meeting
INTRODUCTION
Alfredo Frias, general manager of the Boca Chica Taco House at 1706 White Bear
Avenue, is requesting a variance in order to retain both freestanding signs on the
property. The new freestanding sign (monument sign - 6 feet in height) was constructed
earlier this year on the condition that the old sign (pylon sign - 25 feet in height) would
be removed or that Mr. Frias obtain a variance from the city to keep both signs.
Request
Mr. Frias is requesting a variance from the sign code in order to have two freestanding
signs on a property where only one freestanding sign is permitted.
Background
Summer 2002: The existing Burger King building at 1706 White Bear Avenue was
remodeled into the Boca Chica Taco House.
September 23, 2002: The city council adopted the Hillcrest Village Redevelopment Plan
dated March 15, 2002, and the Hillcrest Village Urban Design Standards dated April,
2002. The plan and design standards were based on the Metropolitan Council's smart-
growth development principles, which are designed to help guide changes in an area to
create a village center with an active street life that mixes shops, workplaces, housing,
passive recreation and civic uses. (Refer to the concept plan attached separately.)
February 23, 2004: The city council adopted the mixed-use zoning district. The purpose
of this zoning district is to provide areas in the city with a mixture of land uses, made
mutually compatible through land use controls and high-quality design standards.
February 23, 2004: The city council rezoned areas in the Hillcrest neighborhood
(including 1706 White Bear Avenue) from business commercial and single-dwelling
residential, to the new mixed-use zoning district. (Refer to the zoning map attached
separately.)
November 2005: The city issued Mr. Frias a freestanding sign permit which allowed the
construction of a monument sign along White Bear Avenue (Attachment 3). The city
issued the sign permit on the condition that the existing pylon sign be removed within 30
days of completion of the new monument sign, unless a variance was obtained to keep
two freestanding signs.
Approximately May 2006: The monument sign was complete.
September 2006: Mr. Frias submitted a variance application to the city in order to retain
both freestanding signs.
DISCUSSION
Mixed Use Sign Code
The sign code for the mixed use zoning district allows one freestanding sign for each
establishment if the building is setback at least 20 feet or more from the front property
line. Freestanding signs must meet the following requirements:
1. Limited to six feet in height and 40 square feet in area.
2. Maintain a five-foot setback from any side or rear property line, but can be
constructed up to the front property line.
3. Must consist of a base constructed of materials and design features similar to
those of the front faQade of the building or development.
4. Must be landscaped with flowers or shrubbery.
Any pre-existing conforming or nonconforming sign that would become nonconforming
by adoption of the mixed use zoning district would be allowed to remain until such time
as the sign is destroyed or removed. In addition, the sign may be refaced to the existing
size, but may not be expanded without a variance.
Boca Chica Signs
Boca Chica had two signs prior to the monument sign, one wall sign and one 25-foot-
high pylon sign (Attachments 6 and 7). The pylon sign became a legal nonconforming
sign due to its size and setback once the property was rezoned from business
commercial to mixed use.
Last year Mr. Frias expressed concern to staff that the existing "Garrity's/Subway" pylon
sign located at 1698 White Bear Avenue (the property to the south of the Boca Chica)
blocked the visibility of the Boca Chica's pylon sign from the north bound traffic on White
Bear Avenue. For this reason Mr. Frias proposed the monument sign (Attachment 5)
which could be constructed up to the property line, as allowed by the mixed use sign
code. He felt that this sign, even though it was not as tall as the pylon sign, would be
more visible for traffic going northbound on White Bear Avenue due to its location closer
to the road. Mr. Frias proposed relocating the existing pylon sign from this property to
his Boca Chica restaurant in St. Paul.
City staff issued the sign permit for the monument sign on the condition that the existing
pylon sign be removed within 30 days of completion of the monument sign, or that a
variance be obtained from the city to keep both signs. The monument sign was
complete in approximately May of 2006. The pylon sign was not removed within 30 days
of this date so city staff contacted Mr. Frias requesting the removal of the sign or the
submittal of a variance request to retain both signs.
Mr. Frias has chosen to apply for a variance in order to retain the second freestanding
sign. He states in his variance statement (Attachment 1) that he would like to keep the
two signs until the Garrity's/Subway pylon sign is removed allowing better visibility of his
property.
2
The owners of the Garrity's/Subway property have submitted a community design review
board application to the city requesting review of their proposed remodel and sign plan
update. This item was submitted to the board two weeks ago, but will not be formally
heard by the board until November. In their submittal they propose to reface the existing
Garrity's/Subway pylon sign (Attachment 8). The sign will have the same square
footage and be in the same location as the existing sign; however, the sign will be
enhanced with brick and EIFS and the width will be reduced which may create better
visibility of the Boca Chica property. Regardless, the Garrity's/Subway pylon sign as it
currently exists or as it is proposed does not block the visibility of the new monument
sign, only the existing pylon sign.
Hardship
State statute requires city's to base the approval of a variance on the determination of a
hardship. "Hardship" as used in connection with the granting of a variance means the
property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under the conditions
allowed by the official controls; 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. Economic considerations alone shall not
constitute a hardship if a reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the
ordinance.
Staff finds that granting a variance to allow two freestanding signs on the Boca Chica
property does not meet the hardship requirements. The property can still be put to a
reasonable use with just one freestanding sign. The existence of the large
Garrity's/Subway pylon sign which Mr. Frias feels blocks visibility to his property is
unique to the property; however, the new Boca Chica monument sign is not blocked by
the Garrity's/Subway sign and the sign is proposed to be enhanced and refaced which
should increase visibility to the Boca Chica property.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends denial of the request by Alfredo Frias for a variance from the sign
code in order to have two freestanding signs on the Boca Chica Taco House property
located at 1706 White Bear Avenue. The city is denying the variance for the following
reasons:
1. The property can still be put to a reasonable use with just one freestanding sign.
2. The existence of the large Garrity's/Subway pylon sign located at 1698 White
Bear Avenue will soon be enhanced and refaced, which should increase visibility
to the Boca Chica property.
3. The Boca Chica monument sign is not blocked by the Garrity's/Subway sign.

Dear Director of Community Development,
I am writing to apply for a variance concerning the existence of our two signs on the
property of Boca Chica's Taco House Maplewood.
Upon opening in 2002, we updated the existing sign and made it attractive with
landscaping and stonework. We began hearing from customers that it was difficult
to see the sign because it was set back so far from the street. Also, the signs at
Subway and Garrity's Bar were obstructing the view. We got permission to build a
new sign, closer to the street. We complied with the specifications concerning that
sign as well, also being informed that we would have to apply for a variance in the
future.
Our request is for a variance or special agreement with the council to keep our two
existing signs until Garrity's Bar and Subway remove theirs or put up more up-to-
date signs that will allow ours to be seen as well. We have endeavored to make our
property attractive and appealing to add to the aesthetic quality of that corner of
Maplewood. We feel it is important to our business to keep these two signs in
order to attract customers and remain in that location.
. Please consider my request. Thank you.
