PC Packet Page Number 3 of 57
The company employs approximately 30 employees and specializes in the design and installation
of landscaping, pools, irrigation and outdoor lighting.
The residentially zoned property at 2692 Highwood will continue to be used as a single family
residential home. The remaining two commercially zoned properties at 2714 and 2730 Highwood
Avenue are to be used for the landscaping company business operations and office space. A
conditional use permit is required for interior storage or warehouses, the exterior storage, display,
sale or distribution of goods or materials.
Other than the outdoor storage of landscaping materials and vehicles and three fuel tanks, the
applicant is not proposing major exterior modifications to the site or existing structures. A site plan
was provided by the applicant illustrating generally how the two properties would be used to
accommodate the new use on site. The applicant’s narrative indicates future plans for landscaping
improvements on the site.

Attn: Maplewood Planning and Zoning Committee
Regarding:
Conditional Use Permit for 2730/2714 Highwood Ave E, Maplewood, MN (13-28-22-41-0001, 13-28-22-41-0053)
Background:
Shawn Racine is the sole owner of Superior Landscape & Irrigation, an award-winning landscape company that has
been servicing the local area for over 17 years. The company employs 30 +/- employees and specializes in landscape
design/install, pool design/install, irrigation design/install/service and outdoor lighting design/install/service. The
company is an A+ rated BBB member and has been consistently rated as one of ‘Three Best Rated’ in St Paul.
Request:
We would like to request a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a landscape business, the storage of outdoor
materials, and onsite fuel storage. Materials would range from small, organized piles (under 10’ tall) of dirt, mulch,
rock, temporary brush and palletized product. We would also like to have onsite 3 approved 500-gallon fuel tanks
(one of each: unleaded, highway diesel and off-road diesel).
Key Notes:
Our office is currently in South St Paul along the I-494 corridor. This new location on Highwood Avenue will allow us
to be closer to our core clients in the Maplewood/Woodbury area.
It is our goal as a building owner to preserve and improve the look and attraction of our buildings and grounds.
Being in the landscape industry, we are very fluent in curb appeal and understand its importance for both ourselves
and our neighbors. Being that this will be our home for many years to come, our goal will be to improve the
landscape throughout the property with future plans of walking trails, outdoor sitting areas for employees to enjoy
breaks, and additional tree coverage along with other “green” items.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email.
Thank you for your consideration,
Shawn Racine

The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on January 28, 2022. The initial 60-day
review deadline for a decision is March 29, 2022. 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:
Saint Paul Regional Water Services’ (SPRWS) property is 127 acres in size which includes the
main campus at 1900 Rice Street (62 acres) and the Sandy Lake site north of Roselawn Avenue
(65 acres). Significant demolition work and the removal of a large amount of trees will occur on
E2
PC Packet Page Number 13 of 57
approximately 23 acres of the main campus site to facilitate the project. The major project
components include:
•New source water conduits from the terminal chambers to the water plant.
•New lime softening solids contact clarifiers. These will replace existing rapid mix,
flocculation, and settling basins.
•New recarbonation basins to replace the single existing recarbonation basin.
•New ozonation treatment process for enhanced taste and odor control, oxidation, and
disinfection.
•New chemical systems and new lime storage and handling building.
•New laboratory, office spaces, and control room.
•Demolition of existing flocculation basin 3, recarbonation basin, and Clarifiers 1 through 5.
The project is tentatively planned to begin in March 2022, with an anticipated completion date of
mid-2026.
Conditional Use Permit Amendment
Maplewood City Code allows for public uses and utilities with a conditional use permit (CUP) in any
zoning district. SPRWS is a public use and utility whose mission is to provide reliable, quality water
and services at a reasonable cost to the City of St. Paul and neighboring communities.
At the conclusion of the proposed campus improvements staff does not anticipate the
neighborhood to experience a significant change in conditions, as being located near a water
treatment plans is experienced in current conditions. However, there are two major components
the CUP should address – the proposed removal of trees and construction management.
Tree Removal
The applicant’s plans propose removing 384 significant trees, equaling 6,626 diameter inches from
the main campus site. Most of these trees are located on the east side of the site and currently
provide screening between the single family homes to the east and the treatment plant. The
proposed tree removal plans show all but a handful of trees are to be removed near the shared
property lines.
Staff is concerned about the number of significant trees proposed to be removed which will cause
the loss of screening to the residential homes adjacent to the treatment plant. Staff is
recommending that the applicant be required to reduce the number of significant trees being
removed and mitigate the negative impacts to the adjacent residential properties by requiring that
all existing trees within 50 feet of residential property be preserved.
Construction Management Plan
Given that this project will be occurring over the course of five years, having a construction
management plan in place will be integral. Staff is recommending the applicant be required to
submit a Construction Management Plan for approval by the City’s Public Works Director. This plan
should include, at a minimum, the following items:
•SPRW Project Contact info for residents to call/email with questions and complaints.
•Hours and days of construction activity.
•Outline of project communication to the adjacent neighborhood, which includes:
E2
PC Packet Page Number 14 of 57
o Quarterly newsletter
o Weekly email updates
o Up-to-date project website
• Construction traffic routing.
o Including prohibiting construction traffic east of the site along Roselawn Avenue.
• Outline of how demolition and excavated material will be handled and stored.
• A dust mitigation plan.
Design Review
Site Plan
The layout of the site is largely dictated by existing conditions. The new, expanded facilities will be
located largely where the treatment plant is currently located. All new facilities will meet the
minimum setback requirements. The Solids Contact Clarifier Number 2 facility will be the closest to
a residential property line with a setback of 65 feet and 6 inches. This facility has a very low profile
to the ground and is only required to be setback 50 feet. All other facilities being constructed will
have a setback of at least 100 feet – again meeting all setback requirements.
A permanent drive lane that will run to the east and north of the new facilities will at its closest point
come within 20 feet of a residential property – meeting setback requirements – but most of the drive
is well beyond the 20 foot requirement.
A temporary access road coming off of Roselawn Avenue is being proposed. In the engineering
review included with this report, it is recommended that this access road be shifted as far west as
possible while utilizing the existing Sylvan Street access, again to mitigate effects on the nearby
residential properties. At a minimum this access road has to be setback at least 50 feet from any
residential property line. The construction of this temporary road may not affect any existing trees in
the required 50 feet setback.
Building Elevations
New lime and recarbonation/ozonation buildings will be constructed on the east side of the site. The
lime building will be approximately 74 feet in height and the recarbonation/ozonation building will be
a single story. The two new structures have been designed to be consistent with the other buildings
on the treatment plant campus. Both structures will be constructed with white and gray precast
concrete panels and a blue metal coping.
Parking
No parking changes are proposed as part of this project. The campus already has ample parking
and the improvements are not anticipated to cause a change in parking demand.
Lighting
The applicant’s photometric plan shows compliance with the city’s requirements.

February 15, 2022: The planning commission will hold a public hearing and review this project.
Citizen Comments
Staff surveyed the 271 surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the proposed site for their
opinion about this proposal. Staff received two responses – all shown below.
1. We are in receipt of correspondence from the city of Maplewood dated Jan 25th 2022
concerning the above subject. We have not had sufficient time to go over all the details of the
proposal however a couple of the concerns are as follows:
1. What are the hours that the demolition and construction would occur?
2. What route would the trucks travel?
3. Where would the demotion materials that are part of the project be disposed of and or
placed.
4. What other parts of the water department property would be used and for what purpose.
We would also reserve the right to bring up other issues as they arise to the planning
commission and or the city council at the appropriate time.
(Joseph Plumbo, 176 Skillman Ave East)
2. While we appreciate the desire to improve reliable and sustainable water services this project
will greatly impact the nearby property owners and will potentially create a depreciation in
property values.
We’ve resided in our home on Beaumont Street for 50 years. We’re aware of how the Sandy
Lake project impacted our neighbors. We do not want to experience a repeat of their
situation.
• During this project, how does the SPRWS plan on partnering with the nearby property
owners?
• Please clarify if this project will be an uninterrupted 4 year timeline; if so that’s
unreasonable considering excessive noise, dust, dirt, debris, traffic flow & impact to
E2
PC Packet Page Number 16 of 57
the local street pavement. This project will also create more dirt in our homes despite
closed windows & increased electricity fees. This lengthy project will minimize the
opportunities we have to spend outdoors in our neighborhood. These are not benefits
other communities will occur.
• What type of barrier/s will be used during demolition & construction. Who is the
designated contact person/s & what resources will be available to the residents if
concerns arise during the project?
• Please describe SPRWS vision of minimal vehicular traffic on local streets. We do not
want construction vehicles, equipment or traffic access on Fenton & Beaumont. This
is a safety concern as the street is narrow, we live on a hill & it’s a neighborhood with
small children.
• What was the purpose to purchase the home at 1845 Beaumont?
• How will the plan preserve the natural aesthetics of the site & how is the design going
to make it more attractive?
• Describe the actual visual differences (ie size & color of structures) from the existing
facilities & proximity to the property lines.
• What visual screening will there be until trees mature in 10-15 years?

McCarrons Water Treatment Plant
Improvements Project
CUP Application Written Statement
CDRB Application Written Narrative
Introduction
Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) provides potable water to customers in Saint
Paul, Minnesota, and the surrounding communities. Almost half a million people depend upon
SPRWS for water each day.
The McCarrons Water Treatment Plant (WTP) has been the sole producer of water for SPRWS
since 1920. On average the plant produces 40 to 45 million gallons per day (MGD) but
demands peak in the summer at approximately 70 MGD. That’s enough water to cover a
football field with 200 feet of water!
As this facility approaches 100 years in age, SPRWS and the Board of Water Commissioners
believe that proactively investing in this critical infrastructure is an important step to preserving
public health in the St. Paul metro area.
Ultimately, the McCarron’s Water Treatment Plant Project (described herein) will benefit
SPRWS customers tremendously. Among the foremost benefits for customers are:
· Improving the reliability of the facility to ensure that we remain capable of delivering high
quality water to taps without interruption.
· Improving SPRWS’s ability to meet future water quality challenges through the addition
of new technologies that improve treatment capabilities.
· Taking advantage of low interest rates to ensure that our customers get the best value
for their money. We will continue to deliver water to our customers for less than a penny
per gallon.
SPRWS is excited to deliver this project and provide a secure water future for each of our
customers. We look forward to partnering with the city of Maplewood to make this project
possible and to answering any questions that the city may have.

Project Scope
To ensure the utility continues to provide reliable and sustainable water service and to address
future water quality challenges, SPRWS has initiated the design and construction of
improvements to the WTP. Major project components include:
· New source water conduits from the terminal chambers to the water plant.
· New lime softening solids contact clarifiers. These will replace existing rapid mix,
flocculation, and settling basins.
· New recarbonation basins to replace the single existing recarbonation basin.
· New ozonation treatment process for enhanced taste and odor control, oxidation, and
disinfection.
· New chemical systems and new lime storage and handling building.
· New laboratory, office spaces, and control room.
· Demolition of existing flocculation basin 3, recarbonation basin, and Clarifiers 1 through
5.
Demolition of Facilities
Many existing facilities will be demolished as part of this project. Demolition work will occur in
two stages as shown in the graphic below. In general, demolition work will be the noisiest part
of the project. Most of the structures that will be demolished are large, below-ground facilities.
Attachment 6
PC Packet Page Number 29 of 57

Stage 1 Demolition will take place from summer through winter of 2022. The demolition of
these facilities will free up space to build the new facilities. Overall, this demolition work is
expected to take 7 months.
Stage 2 Demolition will take place after the new facilities are fully constructed and operational.
This work is likely to occur in the fall of 2025. Overall, this demolition work is expected to take
10 months.
As part of the Stage 1 Demolition, SPRWS plans to remove approximately 375 trees from the
site. The graphic below shows where tree removals will occur. Removing these trees is
required to provide space for the new facilities and for associated construction activities.
SPRWS intends to remove these trees in March of 2022. Approximately three weeks of heavy
cutting and an additional four weeks of site preparation and cleanup will be required to remove
all trees.
Attachment 6
PC Packet Page Number 30 of 57

Construction of New Facilities
New facilities will be constructed on the northeast portion of the site. Ultimately, much of the
construction will be below-ground and will not be visible once the project is completed. There
will, however, be numerous above-ground facilities constructed. The graphic below illustrates
the location and scale of the facilities to be constructed.
366 trees will be planted on the project site and adjacent SPRWS property on the north side of
Roselawn Avenue. Most of the trees will be planted along the treatment plant property line to
replace the trees that are being removed for construction and continue to provide visual
screening of the plant from the adjacent residential properties. The visual representation of the
trees in the submittal documents are at 10 – 15 years of maturity.
Project Timeline
The estimated project timeline is as follows:
· March-May 2022 – Tree removals and some small-scale activities on site (i.e., moving
small equipment, etc.)
· May 2022 – Stage 1 demolition work begins
· Fall/Winter 2022 – New Facility Construction work begins
· Winter of 2025 – Stage 2 demolition work begins
· Mid-2026 – Project is complete

Criteria for Approval of a Conditional Use Permit
The use would be located, designed, maintained, constructed, and operated to be in conformity
with the City’s comprehensive plan and Code of Ordinances.
The improvements to the water treatment plant do not change the existing use of the facility of
providing treated potable water to St. Paul and surrounding communities. The daily operation
of the improved facility will be comparable to the operation of the existing plant. SPRWS will
continue to comply with the City’s Code of Ordinances as we have in the past.
The use would not change the existing or planned character of the surrounding area.
The operation of the improved facility will result in no meaningful change to staffing levels, hours
of operation, and traffic in and out of the SPRWS McCarrons campus. Upon completion of the
improvements project, the SPRWS McCarrons campus will appear unchanged from the plant
access locations on Rice, Roselawn, and Sylvan. Residents adjacent to the plant property may
be able to see new facilities and landscaping, but overall aesthetic of the site will remain largely
unchanged since new facilities will be reasonably similar to the existing facilities.
The use would not depreciate property values.
The SPRWS McCarrons campus will appear largely unchanged to the surrounding area at
completion of the improvements project. In fact, the SPRWS investment to improve reliability
and water treatment capability is an inherent benefit to the customers and property owners that
depend on our treated water.
A thoughtful prospective home buyer in recent years may have identified the aging infrastructure
on site and wondered if a large project might be forthcoming. After completion of this project, it
should be clear to residents and prospective buyers that we’ve made a once-in-a-century type
of investment in our facility and that any future construction efforts on the site are likely to be
considerably smaller. The facility will also be more attractive upon completion. By this logic,
property values in the area may increase upon project culmination.
The use would not involve any activity, process, materials, equipment, or methods of operation
that would be dangerous, hazardous, detrimental, disturbing, or cause a nuisance to any person
or property, because of excessive noise, glare, smoke, dust, odor, fumes, water or air pollution,
drainage water run-off, vibration, general unsightliness, electrical interference, or other
nuisances.
The water treatment improvements project includes new state of the art treatment processes to
replace existing treatment processes. Major new treatment processes include a new lime
storage and handling building, new chemicals storage and feed systems, and a new ozone and
recarbonation treatment process. All new facilities are housed in new buildings and are
designed to the latest applicable codes and standards, and with an appearance to blend with
the existing plant architecture. New drainage systems will ensure proper water run-off with the
Attachment 6
PC Packet Page Number 32 of 57
6
new facilities. Upon completion of the improvements project, the activities and operations at the
McCarrons campus will be similar to the existing facilities.
The use would generate only minimal vehicular traffic on local streets and would not create
traffic congestion or unsafe access on existing or proposed streets.
Access to the McCarrons campus will be unchanged with the completion of the improvements
project. Access will continue to be served via Rice, Roselawn, and Sylvan. Vehicular traffic on
local streets be unchanged with the new facilities.
The use would be served by adequate public facilities and services, including streets, police and
fire protection, drainage structures, water and sewer systems, schools, and parks.
The water treatment plant improvements project will continue to rely on the same public facilities
and services as the existing McCarrons campus. Since the overall nature and use of the site
will be very similar to that of the existing facility, we believe this to be appropriate.
The use would not create excessive additional costs for public facilities or services.
There are no additional costs for public facilities or services associated with the water treatment
plant improvements project.
The use would maximize the preservation of and incorporate the site’s natural and scenic
features into the development design.
The water treatment plant improvements project includes the demolition of existing outdated
facilities that will result in additional site area available for landscaping. New landscaping
features include natural prairie and pollinator plantings, deciduous and evergreen tree plantings
for property buffer and screening, stormwater retention areas, and (possibly) a walking trail
accessible to SPRWS staff.
The use would cause minimal adverse environmental effects.
The most significant environmental effect is the removal of approximately 384 trees from the
property. Removing these trees is required to provide space for the new facilities and for
associated construction activities. SPRWS will comply with the City of Maplewood ordinance for
tree removal mitigation. This includes planting new trees on the McCarrons site and paying into
the City’s tree mitigation fund for tree planting at other City sites.
Notably, removing these trees will allow more project work to occur on site. Without the tree
removals, there would be a substantial increase in the amount of heavy trucking required to
complete the project. Combining the CO2 emission savings from the reduced trucking load and
the plans for tree planting and prairie vegetation upon project completion, we believe that the
project will arguably benefit the environment overall despite the initial unattractiveness of the
tree removals.

Finally, new facilities are being designed such that they can be outfitted with solar panels in the
future. SPRWS has invested, and will continue to invest, in renewable energy as part of our
commitment to environmental stewardship.

Engineering Plan Review
PROJECT: McCarrons Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project
1900 Rice Street North
PROJECT NO: 22-04
COMMENTS BY: Jon Jarosch, P.E. – Assistant City Engineer
DATE: 2-4-2022
PLAN SET: Engineering plans dated January 2022
REPORTS: Stormwater Technical Memorandum dated 1-18-2022
Saint Paul Regional Water Services is proposing significant improvements to the McCarrons
Water Treatment Plant at 1900 Rice Street North. The applicant is requesting a review of the
current design.
The amount of disturbance on this site is greater than ½ acre. As such, the applicant is required
to meet the City’s stormwater quality, rate control, and other stormwater management
requirements. The applicant is proposing to meet these requirements via the use of infiltration
and detention basins.
This review does not constitute a final review of the plans, as the applicant will need to submit
construction documents and calculations for final review. 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 Capital Region Watershed District for review. All
conditions of Capital Region Watershed District shall be met.
2) A joint storm water maintenance agreement shall be prepared and signed by the owner
for the proposed infiltration basin, detention system, pre-treatment devices, and any
other best management practices installed as part of this project. The Owner shall
submit a signed copy of the joint storm-water maintenance agreement with the Capital
Region Watershed District to the City.
3) The 100-year high-water elevation shall be shown on the plans for the proposed
detention and infiltration basins. The lowest floor elevation (LFE) of the proposed
buildings shall be set at least 2-feet above the 100-year high water elevation of the
proposed basins. Lik ewise, the LFE shall be set at least 1-foot above the designated
emergency overflow elevation.
Attachment 10
PC Packet Page Number 43 of 57
4) A stormwater management report shall be submitted detailing the methods utilized to
meet the City and Watershed District’s Stormwater Management requirements.
5) An emergency overflow for the basins shall be identified on the plans. This overflow shall
be properly stabilized to prevent erosion during an overflow event.
6) Pre-treatment (minimum 3-foot deep sumps, sediment traps, etc.) shall be provided
upstream of all infiltration basins, detention basins, or other best management practices.
7) Geotechnical details (soil boring data, double-ring infiltrometer results, etc,) shall be
provided to support all assumptions made in stormwater calculations as it pertains to soil
types within the project area.
8) Details (both plan and profile views) shall be provided for the proposed storm sewer
system. Pipe sizes, pipe slopes, invert elevations, pipe types, etc. shall be shown on the
plans.
9) Scour protection (rip-rap or other methods) shall be installed at all pipe outlet locations.
10) Detention basins shall include an aquatic bench with a 10:1 (H:V) slope for the first 10
feet (H) below the normal water level (NWL).
11) Detention basins shall have inlets be placed at or below the NWL.
12) Detention basins shall have a skimming device designed to remove oils and floatable
materials up to a five (5) year frequency event. The skimmer shall be set a minimum of
twelve (12) inches below the normal surface water elevation and shall control the
discharge velocity to 0.5 feet per second.
13) Detention basins shall have an average four (4) feet of permanent pool depth (dead
storage depth). This constraint may not be feasible for small ponds (less than about
three [3] acre-feet in volume or less). In such cases, depths of three to four (3-4) feet
may be used. To prevent development of thermal stratification, loss of oxygen, and
nutrient recycling from bottom sediments, the maximum depth of the permanent pool
should be less than or equal to ten (10) feet.
14) Electronic as-built plans shall be provided after construction detailing the improvements
as-constructed.
Traffic and Pedestrian Analysis
15) The magnitude of this project will require a high-volume of construction related traffic to
enter and exit the site on a daily basis. In order to minimize disruption to area residents,
all construction related traffic shall reach the site from the west along Roselawn Avenue
Attachment 10
PC Packet Page Number 44 of 57
(from Rice Street). No construction related traffic is allowed to reach the site from the
east along Roselawn Avenue. This requirement shall be noted on the construction plans
and shall be strictly enforced by the owner and contractor.
16) Due to the volume of construction traffic entering and exiting the site during peak hours,
the safety of the general public, along with the safety of the construction related
motorists must be investigated at the proposed site construction entrance. The owner
and contractor shall work with the City to ensure the volume of traffic at the entrance can
be safely accommodated throughout the duration of the project.
17) The proposed construction road off of Roselawn Avenue shall be shifted as far west as
possible in the site to minimize negative impacts to neighboring properties. It is highly
recommended that the construction entrance be shifted to Sylvan Street to utilize the
existing site entrance.
Grading and Erosion Control
18) All slopes shall be 3H:1V or flatter.
19) Inlet protection devices shall be installed on all existing and proposed onsite storm
sewer until all exposed soils onsite are stabilized. This includes storm sewer on adjacent
streets that could potentially receive construction related sediment or debris.
20) Adjacent streets and parking areas shall be swept as needed to keep the pavement
clear of sediment and construction debris. The magnitude of this project will require daily
sweeping of Roselawn Avenue near the construction entrance to meet permit
requirements.
21) All pedestrian facilities shall be ADA compliant.
22) The total grading volume (cut/fill) shall be noted on the plans.
23) A copy of the project SWPPP and NDPES Permit shall be submitted prior to the
issuance of a grading permit.
24) The erosion and sediment control plan shall meet the requirements of the MPCA’s
Construction Stormwater Permit.
25) Due to the high volume of construction traffic on the proposed construction road, it is
highly recommended that this roadway include a temporary paved surface to prevent
dust and sediment from leaving the site. At a minimum, the construction road shall be
maintained to prevent dust from reaching neighboring properties and sediment from
tracking onto Roselawn Avenue. These requirements shall be strictly enforced and may
result in work stoppage until corrected during construction.
Attachment 10
PC Packet Page Number 45 of 57
Sanitary Sewer and Water Service
26) The applicant shall be responsible for paying any SAC, WAC, or PAC charges related to
the improvements proposed with this project. A SAC determination is required.
27) All new sanitary sewer service piping shall be schedule 40 PVC or SDR35.
Public Works Permits
The following permits are required by the Maplewood Public Works Department for this project.

Environmental Review
Project: St. Paul Regional Water Services
Location: 1900 Rice Street
Date of Plans: January 2022 (1-10-22)
Date of Review: February 8, 2022
Reviewer: Shann Finwall, AICP, Environmental Planner
Carole Gernes, Natural Resources Coordinator
Project Background
Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) is proposing significant improvements to its
McCarrons Water Treatment Plant located at 1900 Rice Street. The property is 127 acres in
size as estimated by staff, and includes the main campus at 1900 Rice Street (62 acres) and the
Sandy Lake site north of Roselawn Avenue (65 acres). Significant demolition work and the
removal of a large amount of trees will occur on approximately 23 acres of the main campus site
to facilitate the project. The project must comply with the City’s tree preservation ordinance,
overall landscape ordinance and guidelines, and infiltration basin planting policies.
1. Trees
a. Tree Preservation Ordinance: The goal of the Maplewood tree preservation
ordinance is to protect, preserve, and enhance the trees and woodlands of
Maplewood. It encourages a resourceful and prudent approach to development
in the City. Applicants requesting a land use permit must submit a tree
preservation plan. The plan must show all significant trees on the site, and those
being removed. A significant tree is defined as a 6-inch hardwood, 8-inch
conifer, and 12-inch softwood. Preservation of specimen trees is encouraged. A
specimen tree is any healthy tree that is 28 caliper inches or larger. The
ordinance outlines tree replacement based on the number and size of trees on
the site, versus the number and size of trees being removed.
b. Tree Impacts: There are 1,292 significant trees, equaling 19,980 diameter
inches, located on SPRWS property (main campus and the Sandy Lake site).
The applicants are proposing to remove 384 significant trees, equaling 6,626
diameter inches from the main campus site. This represents 33 percent of the
overall trees being removed. Included in the tree removal are 35 specimen trees
(trees which are 28 caliper inches or larger) and eight large oak trees. Most of
the specimen and oak trees proposed to be removed are located in the
excavated materials stockpile area and temporary road way located on the east
side of the property. The tree replacement calculation requires 1,193 caliper
inches of replacement trees.

c. Tree Replacement: The applicants’ tree preservation plan outlines 236 new
trees, which equals 507 caliper inches of replacement trees. This is 686 caliper
inches less than City code requires. The applicant must modify the tree removal
and planting plan to meet City code, or pay into the City’s tree fund at a rate of
$60 per caliper inch of tree that cannot be replaced on site. The current plan
would require the applicant to pay $41,160 into the City’s tree fund.
d. Tree Preservation Recommendations:
1) Prior to issuance of a grading permit the applicant must submit a revised
tree plan for staff approval with the following changes:
a) To reduce the number of significant trees removed and negative
impacts to the adjacent residential properties, it is recommended
that all existing trees within 50 feet of residential property be
preserved.
b) Maplewood policy identifies Siberian elm as an invasive tree
species, and exempts them from the tree ordinance. Remove all
Siberian elm from the tree calculations.
c) Correct tree replacement count. The tree preservation plan states
that there are 236 new trees proposed. The landscape plan
states that there are 336 new trees proposed.
d) Increase the diversity of tree species planted. Not more than 30
percent of replacement trees may be the same species. Refer to
USDA Recommended Minnesota Native or Recommended New
Habitat Climate Resiliant Tree Species for recommended
replacement tree species.
e) Replace Silver Linden and White Fir for native species.
f) A tree protection plan showing how trees scheduled to be
preserved will be protected during development per the City’s tree
standards.
2) To reduce the amount of tree fund payment, the City will consider the
following tree mitigation strategies:
a) Increase the number and size of replacement trees.
b) Removal of all City and DNR identified invasive trees on the main
campus site including Siberian Elm, Black, Amur Maple, Norway
Maple, Russian Olive, White Poplar, and White Mulberry.
c) Removal and management of buckthorn on the main campus site.
3) Submit a cash escrow or letter of credit to cover 150% of the tree
replacement requirements.

2. Overall Landscaping
Review of the landscape plan to ensure nonnative or invasive species are avoided, and
that the landscaping meets the City ordinance and guidelines.
a. Landscape Recommendations
1) Prior to issuance of a grading or building permit the applicant must submit
a revised landscape plan for staff approval showing:
a) Size of ornamental trees to be planted in caliper inches, not
height.
b) Details on the type of seed mixtures for the pollinator grass and
low maintenance seed mixes.
c) City code requires a landscaped and possible screened area of
not less than 20 feet in width shall be provided where a
nonresidential use abuts a residentially zoned or planned
property. Since this is an extended project, the applicant should
submit a temporary screening plan to be installed once the trees
are removed, and a permanent screening plan to be approved by
the Community Design Review Board.
3. Infiltration Basins
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 successful
establishment. Basin bottoms and lower elevations almost never establish successfully
from seed since the seed is washed away when stormwater flows into the basin.
a. Infiltration Basin Recommendations.
1) Prior to issuance of a grading or building permit, the applicant must
submit an infiltration basin plan for staff approval showing:
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.
c) For any area using a native seed mix (ex: pond slopes), provide
information on maintenance for planting year, Year 2 and Year 3,
addressing what maintenance activities will be required and what
entity (developer, owner, etc.) will take on this responsibility.
