The City Council shall apply the findings for variance approval as required in Minnesota Statutes, and may add conditions to mitigate the wetland buffer encroachment. Recommended Action: Motion to approve a resolution for a 45-foot wetland buffer variance for a new single-family house at 1090 County Road C. 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 SustainabilityIntegrated CommunicationTargeted Redevelopment Operational EffectivenessCommunity InclusivenessInfrastructure & Asset Mgmt. The City deemed the applicant’s application complete on August 31, 2021. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is October 30, 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: The previous house located at 1091 County Road C was constructed in 1938. In 2020 the City approved a demolition permit to remove the house. Katie Schurrer and Justin Haynes now own the vacant lot and are proposing to construct a single family house. Grading for the house will come to within 30 feet of the Manage A wetland, which requires a 45-foot wetland buffer variance. PC Packet Page Number5 of 110 E1 Setbacks and Wetland Buffer Requirements The lot is zoned single-family residential and is located in the Shoreland Overlay District of Kohlman Lake. There is a Manage A wetland on the north side of the lot, adjacent the lake. Following are the required setbacks and wetland buffer for a new house on the lot: Front Yard: Interior lots shall have a minimum setback of the adjacent dwelling closest to the street and a maximum setback of the adjacent dwelling farthest from the street. A new house at 1090 County Road C can have a front yard setback ranging from 24 feet to 75 feet. Side Yard: 5 feet for an attached or detached garage, 10 feet for living space Rear Yard (toward the lake and wetland): o Shoreland Ordinance (structure setback): 75 feet from the ordinary high water mark of Kohlman Lake. o Wetland Ordinance (wetland buffer): 75-foot wetland buffer for a Manage A wetland adjacent a lake. No mowing, grading, or building is allowed in the buffer. House Placement The new house will maintain the following setbacks and wetland buffer: Front Yard: 24 feet, in line with the house to the east. This meets City code. Side Yard: 10 feet on both sides. This meets City code. Rear Yard (toward the lake and wetland): o Shoreland Ordinance (structure setback): Approximately 250 feet to the ordinary high water mark of Kohlman Lake. This meets City code. o Wetland Ordinance: (wetland buffer): House: 75 feet to the edge of the wetland. The house will not be placed in the wetland buffer. Grading: 30 feet to the edge of the wetland. Grading will take place in the wetland buffer, requiring a 45-foot wetland buffer variance. Wetland Buffer Variance Procedure Before the City Council takes action on the wetland buffer variance, the Environmental and Natural Resources (ENR) and Planning Commissions must make a recommendation on the variance. The ENR Commission should recommend a wetland buffer mitigation plan and the Planning Commission should hold a public hearing and review the findings for variance approval as required in Minnesota Statutes. Wetland Buffer Mitigation Plan The ENR Commission reviewed the wetland buffer variance and recommended approval during their September 20 ENR Commission meeting. When recommending a wetland buffer mitigation plan, the ENR Commission referred to the wetland ordinance that states the City may require one or more of the following mitigation actions when approving a wetland buffer variance: 1. Reducing or avoiding the impact by limiting the degree or amount of the action, such as by using appropriate technology. 2. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the buffer. 2 PC Packet Page Number6 of 110 E1 3.Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by prevention and maintenance operations during the life of the actions. 4. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute buffer land at a two-to-one ratio. 5. Monitoring the impact and taking appropriate corrective measures. 6. Where the city requires restoration or replacement of a buffer, the owner or contractor shall replant the buffer with native vegetation. A restoration plan must be approved by the city before planting. 7. Any additional conditions required by the applicable watershed district and/or the soil and water conservation district shall apply. 8. A wetland or buffer mitigation surety, such as a cash deposit or letter of credit, of 150 percent of estimated cost for mitigation. The surety will be required based on the size of the project as deemed necessary by the administrator. Funds will be held by the city until successful completion of restoration as determined by the city after a final inspection. Wetland or buffer mitigation surety does not include other sureties required pursuant to any other provision of city ordinance or city directive. The grade drops considerably from the back of the house to the edge of the wetland. The lot has mowed grass to the edge of the wetland, which also encroaches into the wetland by approximately 1,000 square feet. The remaining wetland buffer consists of reed canary grass to the water’s edge. The applicants’ site plan shows two rain gardens along the wetland edge to address the wetland buffer mitigation. However, due to the grade of the yard and the existing mowed lawn area within the wetland, the ENR Commission recommends a 1,000 square foot wetland buffer restoration consisting of native plants along the edge of the reed canary grass. The native plants will help filter stormwater runoff from the house and yard before entering the wetland. Since the September 20 ENR Commission meeting the applicants have been working with the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District and the Ramsey County Soil and Water Conservation District to draft a wetland buffer native planting plan that meets the recommendations of the ENR Commission. A condition of approval will include the requirement for a wetland buffer native planting plan to be reviewed and approved by staff prior to issuance of a grading permit. Variance Findings Minnesota Statutes outlines that a variance may be granted if enforcement of a zoning ordinance provision as applied to a particular piece of property would cause the landowner practical difficulties. The statute outlines that the City must determine if the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner, if the variance is due to circumstances unique to the property, and if the variance will alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Staff finds that the 45-foot wetland buffer variance to construct a single-family house at 1090 County Road C meets the practical difficulties findings as follows: 1. The property is zoned and guided as single-family residential. The property will be used in a reasonable manner as a single-family house. 3 PC Packet Page Number7 of 110 E1 2. The lot is a pre-existing platted lot located adjacent a wetland. The original house was built 83 years ago, prior to the City’s wetland buffer ordinance. That house was a pre-existing nonconforming structure because it encroached into the wetland buffer. Strict enforcement of the ordinance would prohibit the building of most types of new permanent structures on the lot, substantially diminishing the potential of this lot. These are circumstances unique to this property. 3. The lot is surrounded by other single-family houses that are located adjacent the wetland with access to Kohlman Lake. Approval of the wetland buffer variance will include the restoration of 1,000 square feet of wetland buffer to native plants, which will improve the water quality and wildlife habitat of the wetland. The placement of the single-family house and wetland buffer variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Neighborhood Comments 1. Sheryl Sukolsky, 1085 County Road C E: E-mail response as follows “I am in support of the request for variance from Katie Schurrer and Justin Haynes. They have walked me through their plans which are thoughtful and their new home will be a great addition to the neighborhood. Given the unique challenges of the plot and care being taken into the build, it will continue to preserve the natural habitat. And with their long term commitment to the area excited to have another neighbor committed to improving overall lake quality as well. Thank you” 2. Barb Clothier, 1071 County Road C East: E-mail response as follows “Thank you very much for sending my husband and me the information about this variance request. I wholeheartedly support the proposal by Katie Schurrer and Justin Hayes as described in the letters. I encourage the city council to approve this 45 foot wetland buffer variance. A home as described by the letter can only increase the value and the look of the neighborhood and add to the tax base for the city. All of this is much needed. There is precedent in the neighborhood for such a variance and it seems like a great win-win situation for all parties involved, including everyone in the neighborhood. I hope you will include my support in your recommendation to the planning commission and city council.” 3. Nathan and Kelly Meredith, 1101 County Road C East: E-mail response as follows “My wife, Kelly and I live in the home immediately adjacent to the east at 1101, County Road C E. We have also had an opportunity to discuss this plan in detail with the property owners Katie and Justin in addition to the information shared in the Maplewood letter. The proposed home is beautiful and from a design perspective is both unique and within the expectations of the neighborhood. We have no concerns and are only supportive of the proposal. The variance as it relates to the wetland is very reasonable - again, we are in full support of issuing the variance. The wetland area has been accurately identified according to my observations of the property. Based off of the required setback as the law is currently written, the lot would almost be unbuildable if a variance weren't issued. This seems unfair as the dwelling that was raised to create the new build opportunity seems to have had a very similar location (in terms of nearest building surface to the wetland). As such, I was surprised to see that a variance was required at all, but I understand laws may have changed in the interim, or the original building also had a variance. Overall, we are very 4 PC Packet Page Number8 of 110 E1 supportive of the proposal and would be happy to see the variance immediately approved so that the new home build can begin. Thank you!” 4.Robert Kreugger, 1094 East County Road C: Paraphrase from a telephone call as follows – Mr. Kreugger lives directly across the street from the new house. The new house will be closer to the road and larger than the previous house. This will have an impact to his property. Additionally, the houses on either side of the new house are built at a slight angle. The new house is not built at an angle and will look strange next to the other houses. Staff Comments Jon Jarosch, Assistant City Engineer: The new house will require a grading and building permit. The applicants must also obtain a driveway permit from Ramsey County. The driveway must meet the County and City driveway code requirements. City code allows hard surface (driveways) in the front yard to cover no more than 40 percent of the front yard. The driveway width at the entrance is limited to 32 feet and the maximum total driveway width of the two entrances cannot exceed 32 feet. Fire Department: No concerns. Police Department: No concerns.

Katie & Justin wish to create a new single family home that nestles into the character of the existing neighborhood and takes in the fantastic views of Kohlman Lake. The home will have a welcoming front porch, plenty of windows, and would be a fantastic addition to the neighborhood, replacing what was a home and garage of Katie’s Great Uncle Neal, and was no longer in sustainable condition. ‘Manage A’ designation of this lot creates practical difficulties that, without a variance, would make construction of a new residence nearly impossible. Because of the unique shape of the wetland as it sharply enters the property, the official control setback makes a more typical house shape not possible. However, as you can see from the attached Proposed Site Diagram, every effort has been made to maintain the bounds of the house behind the 75’ wetland setback, even farther from the wetland in the Northwest corner than the former home on the property. In addition, as seen from the wetland delineation report, this proposed house would also be set back farther off the wetland than the neighboring home to the East. The design of the home is in keeping with all other aspects of the comprehensive plan and zoning regulations – meeting all other setback requirements, as well as intentionally reducing the exterior massing where possible and using time tested materials in order to reduce its visual and environmental impact. Our request is that the variance be given to allow for an approximate setback of 30’ to allow for grading work required to build the home, as well as minimal post footings needed for a main level deck. We hope that you will find our argument and evidence compelling, as well as see the opportunity to increase the value to the neighborhood by adding a thoughtful, custom designed home to the area. In addition, we look forward to your feedback and recommendations for additional mitigation and preservation strategies that might allow for this project to be an example for future projects to come.

WHEREAS, this variance applies to the property located at 1091 County Road C, Maplewood, MN. The property identification number is 04-29-22-43-0006. The legal description is the West 76 feet of the East 356 feet of the West half of the SW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 4, Township 29, Range 22, Ramsey County, Minnesota. WHEREAS, the applicants are proposing to construct a single-family house and grading for the house to within 30 feet of a Manage A wetland adjacent a lake, requiring a 45-foot wetland buffer variance. WHEREAS, the history of this variance is as follows: 1.On September 20, 2021, the Environmental and Natural Resources Commission reviewed the variance and recommended approval of the wetland buffer variance to the Planning Commission and City Council. 2.On October 19, 2021, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to review this proposal. City staff published a notice in the paper and sent notices to the surrounding property owners as required by law. The Planning Commission gave everyone at the hearing a chance to speak and present written statements. The Planning Commission also considered the report and recommendation of the city staff and Environmental and Natural Resources Commission. The Planning Commission recommended ____________ of the wetland buffer variance to the City Council. 3.The City Council held a public meeting on October 25, 2021, to review this proposal. The City Council considered the report and recommendations of the city staff, the Environmental and Natural Resources Commission, and the Planning Commission. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council ____________ the above-described variance based on the following reasons: 1.The property is zoned and guided as single-family residential. The property will be used in a reasonable manner as a single-family house. 2.The lot is a pre-existing platted lot located adjacent a wetland. The original house was built 83 years ago, prior to the City’s wetland buffer ordinance. That house was a pre- existing nonconforming structure because it encroached into the wetland buffer. Strict enforcement of the ordinance would prohibit the building of most types of new permanent structures on the lot, substantially diminishing the potential of this lot. These are circumstances unique to this property. 3.The lot is surrounded by other single-family houses that are located adjacent the wetland with access to Kohlman Lake. Approval of the wetland buffer variance will include the restoration of 1,000 square feet of wetland buffer to native plants, which will improve the PC Packet Page Number26 of 110 E1, Attachment 10 water quality and wildlife habitat of the wetland. The placement of the single-family house and wetland buffer variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Approval of the wetland buffer variance shall be subject to the following: 1.Prior to issuance of a grading permit for the new single-family house the applicants must submit: a.Tree Plan: A tree plan which shows the location, size, and species of all significant trees located on the lot, and the trees that will be removed with the construction of the new single family house. Removal of significant trees with the construction of the single-family house must comply with the City’s tree preservation ordinance and tree replacement requirements. b.Wetland Buffer Restoration: A wetland buffer restoration plan to be approved by City staff. The restoration plan will reflect native plantings within a 1,000 square foot area adjacent the wetland. c.Wetland Buffer Signs: A wetland buffer sign plan showing the installation of at least two wetland buffer signs on the south side of restored wetland buffer native plant area. The signs identify the wetland buffer and state that no mowing, cutting, building, or grading is allowed in the wetland buffer. The City supplies the signs at a cost of $35 per sign. The applicant must install the signs once the native plantings are complete. d.Driveway: Applicants must obtain a driveway permit from Ramsey County. The driveway must meet the County and City driveway code requirements. City code allows hard surface (driveways) in the front yard to cover no more than 40 percent of the front yard. The driveway width at the entrance is limited to 32 feet and the maximum total driveway width of the two entrances cannot exceed 32 feet. e.Dock: Any future deck must meet the Department of Natural Resources Docks and Access in Public Water requirements and the City of Maplewood wetland ordinance public water access requirements. f.Escrows: A tree and wetland buffer escrow. The tree escrow is $60 per caliper inch of tree required to be replaced. The wetland buffer escrow is 150 percent of the cost of the wetland buffer restoration. 2.Prior to release of the escrow, any replacement trees required must be planted with a one-year warranty and the wetland buffer plantings must be established. The Maplewood City Council approved this resolution on __________________.

PC Packet Page Number28 of 110 E2 The city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan calls out the North End region of Maplewood as an area of opportunity to do additional planning in order to help this important part of the city stay healthy. The 2040 plan states the city should: Complete a subarea plan or district plan for the Maplewood Mall area, to help define the following: a. Expectations regarding anticipated mixes of land uses on a block by block basis. b. Expectations regarding urban design principles guiding redevelopment in the area. c. Opportunities for connections and synergy with the HealthEast St. Johns campus and surrounding supportive health care facilities. d. Improvements to support pedestrian, bicycling, and transit connectivity, particularly the METRO Rush Line stations. e. Further definition of implementation tools and steps to be completed, to support redevelopment and revitalization. As referenced above, a district plan was developed and adopted. Now the City’s zoning code needs to be updated to support this work. Background At the October 19, 2021, Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing will be held and the Planning Commission will be considering the proposed regulations for the new North End District - NE. As Planning Commissioners may recall, the NE District is being created to implement the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, as well as the subsequently adopted North End Vision Plan. The NE North End District is proposed to be applied to the area shown in the attached map – and as shown to the right. The NE District will be different than other city zoning districts in that it focuses on building placement and form first, with land use secondary. Thus, the North End form-based zoning district provides clear standards for how future buildings need to be placed on a site and how a building’s form needs to relate to the adjacent streets and public spaces. The NE North End District is proposed to be a new division within Article II and is proposed to be organized into the following sections: Secs. 44-690. – Purpose. Secs. 44-691. – Definitions. Secs. 44-692. – Applicability. Secs. 44-693. – General Provisions. Secs. 44-694. – Administration. PC Packet Page Number29 of 110 E2 Secs. 44-695. – Subdivision Standards. Secs. 44-696. – Site Design Standards. Secs. 44-697. – Building Design Standards. Secs. 44-698. – Use Standards. It should be noted that the establishment of the NE North End District does necessitate a change to the City’s sign regulations. As can be seen in the attached ordinance, it is recommended that the NE North End District and the M-U Mixed Use District have the same sign regulations. Allowable types of signs in both districts will include wall, projecting, window, awning/canopy and monument. The proposed changes to the sign regulations include some additional clarifications for some types of signs, as well as some clean-up and reformatting. In addition to a new zoning district, the attached set of Design Guidelines were also created to provide further guidance to property owners about the City’s desires for the area. The guidelines were elements of the North End Vision Plan that were deemed important but too restrictive to be part of the standards that projects would be required to meet in the zoning and subdivision regulations. It is intended that these would be provided to developers and that information about how the guidelines were incorporated into proposed projects would be included in staff reports. Following the series of planning commission meetings to develop the new regulations and guidelines, the City conducted a public outreach effort to inform property owners and tenants within and surrounding the North End District of the proposed regulations and to solicit input. This included a letter inviting those interested to attend either a virtual or in-person meeting or to review additional information that was posted on the City’s website. In addition, Staff had several conversations with individual property owners about the project. Input from the meetings did result in a few adjustments to the proposed ordinance, particularly around the applicability of new regulations to existing, development properties. Attachments 1.

For each new subdivision, a minimum of 10% of the lot area shall be dedicated, designed, and accessible as public open space in alignment with the north endDistrict Open Space Network and Types Regulating Plan in Sec. 44-692. i.This public open space requirement supersedes the requirements of Chapter 26 (Parks and Recreation) and the city’s Park Accessibility Charge (PAC). ii.The standards in Table 4 shall apply to all land dedicated and deeded as public open spaces. The property owner or developer shall be responsible for making certain improvements to land dedicated, including, but not limited to, finish grading, ground cover, construction of trails and clearly identifying park and trail boundaries with city-approved markers. iii.If a development site’s location does not coincide with the north end District Open Space Network and Types Regulating Plan (Section 44-692 Figure 4), the city council, at its discretion, may require a developer to pay to the city cash fees in lieu of dedication of land for park, recreational, and open space purposes. The cash contribution in lieuof land dedication must be provided prior to the city releasing the final subdivision. The amount of any cash in lieu contribution shall be equivalent to the average fair market value of the 10% of land that would otherwise be required to be dedicated. For purposes of this section, “fair market value” means the value of land as determined based on tax valuation or other relevant data, or as set forth in the city’s fee schedule. If the applicant disputes the amount of the proposed cash contribution in lieu of the land dedication, the applicant, at their own expense, may obtain an appraisal of the property. The appraisal shall be made by approved members of the MAI, or equivalent real estate appraisal societies. If the city disputes such appraisal the city may, at the applicant’s expense, obtain an appraisal of the property by a qualified real estate appraisal. This appraisal shall be conclusive evidence of the fair market value of the land. PC Packet Page Number44 of 110 E2, Attachment 1 Table 4.
