To move forward with this project, the applicant requests city council approval of a preliminary and final plat, wetland buffer variance, and design review Recommended Action: Motion to approve a resolution for design review for a residential apartment project at 3090 Southlawn Drive 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: ☐ Community Inclusiveness ☐ Financial & Asset Mgmt ☐ Environmental Stewardship ☐ Integrated Communication  Operational Effectiveness  Targeted Redevelopment The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on October 17, 2022. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is December 16, 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: Enclave Development proposes to construct a 241-unit, four-story, market-rate apartment building on the property at 3090 Southlawn Drive. If approved, this would be the first redevelopment project in the city’s recently created North End Zoning District. The proposed building will have onsite professional property management and provide a mix of housing options, including studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units, all with private balconies. An underground and partially below-ground floor heated parking garage, surface parking stalls, and electric vehicle charging stations will be provided. E1 CDRB Packet Page Number 7 of 80 Building amenities include two rooftop patios, community rooms, fitness and yoga rooms, a game room, a dog wash station, and an outdoor pool. The proposal also includes rooftop solar panels and a variety of landscaping improvements, including a natural pedestrian corridor for public use and enjoyment south of the proposed building. North End Vision Plan and Zoning District September 9, 2019: The city adopted the North End Vision Plan. • Vision Statement: The North End is a local and regional economic activity center characterized by a diverse mix of sustainable land uses where people of all backgrounds can safely and easily come from near and far to gather for purposes of obtaining goods and services, wellness, work, recreation, socialization, learning, and living. • North End Vision Plan Goals: 1. Promote redevelopment that brings people to the North End 2. Enhance multimodal mobility throughout the North End 3. Better connect the North End to the region 4. Strengthen the North End as a hub for healthcare and wellness 5. Create more unique experiences for visitors 6. Capitalize on an increasingly diverse population 7. Create design guidelines for the North End November 22, 2021: The city adopted the ordinance establishing the North End Zoning District and development standards. Preliminary and Final Plat The subject property is currently comprised of two parcels. As part of this proposal, the site would be re-platted into one single parcel, dedicating 40 feet of right-of-way on the east side of the plat for a future roadway. Given that the road is not established, it will need to be formally identified on the plat. Staff recommends the name of the street to be Van Dyke Street North, the closest road going north and south that generally lines up with where the future street will be located. Wetland Buffer Variance Review and Recommendation The subject property has a Manage C wetland on the south end of the parcel. The existing retaining wall adjacent to the wetland is structurally unstable and needs to be removed and replaced. The existing building, sidewalk, and surface parking on the property are currently between 3 to 11 feet from the delineated wetland edge at various points. City ordinance requires a 50-foot wetland buffer from the edge of the delineated wetland to a structure and prohibits any activity within the buffer. The applicant proposes to restore the wetland buffer with native vegetation, complying with the Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District’s 25-foot wetland buffer requirement. The resulting development would increase the wetland buffer from currently an average of 7 feet, to 42.9 feet. The applicant submitted a separate narrative outlining this request and illustrating the existing and proposed conditions (attached). Required Variance findings: (1) The variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. E1 CDRB Packet Page Number 8 of 80 (2) The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. (3) The applicant establishes practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance. Practical difficulties mean: (1) the proposed use is reasonable, (2) the need for a variance is caused by circumstances unique to the property, not created by the property owner, (3) the proposal will not alter the essential character of the locality Staff reviewed the applicant’s justification for the wetland variance and finds the request meets the required findings to approve a variance. • The proposed development meets the intent of city ordinance standards in the north-end zoning district and is consistent with the goals of our comprehensive plan. • The request is reasonable. Any future improvement on this site will require work within the wetland buffer, and the proposed development will significantly improve the overall site conditions related to the wetland. • The existing conditions on this property are unique and not caused by the property owner. • Overall, the proposed building would complement the surrounding buildings (a variety of residential housing types and commercial retail stores) without altering the essential character of the area. Design Review Site Plan The site is currently accessed off County Road D to the north and Southlawn Drive to the west. There is also an access point on the southeast corner of the parcel through the parking lot of 1852 County Road D (Becker Furniture). The proposed site would remove the access through the Becker Furniture parking lot and the access point off County Road D. The site would be accessed off Southlawn Drive on the west side of the site. Existing sidewalks are provided along the north and west side of the property. The applicant will install a 6-foot wide bituminous trail connection (east-to-west) on the south side of the property. A second 8-foot wide bituminous trail connection (north-to-south) on the east side of the property is proposed. This trail would be temporary, but in place until replaced by the future planned roadway. The building is approximately 347,314 square feet in size. The required building setbacks are based on the district’s street network regulating plan, which establishes a Build-to zone – the minimum and maximum distance a structure may be placed from a lot line. • Required setback on the north lot line (County Road D) – between 15 to 30 feet. The proposed building is setback 18.8 feet. • Required setback on the west lot line (Southlawn Drive) – between 10 to 25 feet. The proposed building is setback 24. 4 feet. • Required setback on the east lot line (neighborhood Main Street, a future planned roadway) – between 5 to 15 feet. The proposed building is setback 4.72 feet. E1 CDRB Packet Page Number 9 of 80 Density The property is guided for 25 to 50 units per acre. The site is 4.89 acres in size, allowing up to 244.5 units. The developer is proposing 241 units. Building Elevations The proposed building is four stories in height. Exterior materials include cultured stone, brick, lap siding, smooth block, and metal/composite panels. A variety of complementary exterior colors and materials are proposed to create visual appeal and soften the mass of the building’s size. The proposed exterior building materials achieve the required primary, secondary, and accent material standards of the NE district. The building facades are articulated into distinct sections and achieve the minimum street façade ground-floor transparency requirements. Parking The parking stalls and drive aisles meet size requirements. The drive aisle is required to be a minimum of 22 feet wide and is proposed to be 24 feet wide. Parking stalls are presented to be 9 feet wide by 18 feet in length achieving size standards. City ordinance requires 1 to 2.5 parking stalls per unit. The proposed building would have 241 units. The applicant is proposing 353 parking stalls, including 93 surface stalls and 260 stalls within the garage. Parking provided on-site exceeds the minimum required and provides an overall parking ratio of 1.46 stalls per unit. Landscaping, Screening, Lighting A variety of perennial trees, shrubs, and native plants are proposed, which meet city ordinances, provide natural areas of screening, and complement the overall site layout. The applicant is working with our environmental staff to incorporate additional native seed plantings and to update their tree plan to achieve tree preservation ordinance requirements. The applicant submitted a photometric plan as part of its application. The plan appears to achieve code requirements. Design Standard Exceptions Section 44-704 (C). Exceptions to the design standards may be considered by the community design review board, or city council if appropriate if they uphold the integrity of the North End Vision Plan and Comprehensive Plan, and result in an attractive, cohesive development design as intended by this division. • The east side of the building faces a future-planned neighborhood main street, requiring a 10-foot stepback for buildings above three stories. o The applicant proposes four stories without the 10-foot stepback. • Maximum building length 250 feet. o The building has four elevations. The applicant proposes building lengths of 413 feet on the north, 332 feet on the south, 192 feet on the east, and 341 feet on the west in length. • East side setback required between 5 – 15 feet o Applicant proposes 4.75 feet from the building to the property line. E1 CDRB Packet Page Number 10 of 80 Staff is comfortable with the exceptions to the design standards, particularly given that this would be the first redevelopment site in this zoning district. The ordinance established in this district is meant to change the historic development pattern in the area surrounding Maplewood Mall. Development staging is required to realize the community’s vision. Overall the proposal maintains the integrity of the vision plan, comprehensive plan, and zoning ordinance.

The Subject Property’s designation within the City of Maplewood’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map, is Mixed-Use Community. PROPOSED LAND USE Based on Developer’s review and interpretation of the New North End Zoning District and the City’s Comprehensive Plan, this proposed project generally meets City standards. The Developer understands there are two standards contemplated for this project that are subject to City discretion/ interpretation. (1) Building setback requirement along County Road D • City’s minimum setback requirement is 15’ (maximum is 30’). Developer is proposing a 15’ setback along County Road D. • The Developer is highlighting the fact there is a small abnormal angle on the northwest corner of the property--the Developer is not measuring the 15’ setback, along County Road D, from said angle. (2) Maximum building length • A provision within the New North End Ordinance indicates a maximum building length of 250’. Developer is proposing a building length greater than 250’. • It’s the Developer’s understanding the New North End ordinance includes flexibility on said provision. Developer further understands the intent of this provision is specific to the length of a single unbroken façade. • Developer is proposing physical breaks within the building façade every 40-80’, along with various other techniques which provide architectural relief; which, are further described within the architectural section of this document. • This topic was raised by the Developer during the conceptual review process. Based on unofficial feedback from the City to-date, the Developer continues to maintain this assumption. E1, Attachment 5 CDRB Packet Page Number 21 of 80 DENSITY Based on Developer’s review and interpretation of City Zoning Code, the maximum density for the Subject Property is 50- units per acre. The Subject Property is 4.89-acres; which equates to 244.5-units. The developer is proposing 241-units. BUILDING HEIGHT Based on Developer’s review and interpretation of City Zoning Code, the maximum building height is 6-stories. The Developer is proposing a 4-story building. NOTE: depending on location, a portion of below ground garage is exposed and could push the gross total to between 4/5 stories. PARKING Based on Developer’s review and interpretation of City Zoning Code, a minimum-maximum range of parking stalls exists: 1 to 2.5 per unit. The developer is proposing an overall parking ratio of 1.46 stalls per unit—of which, at least 1 stall per unit is located within the below ground parking garage. VEHICLE ACCESS Vehicle access will come from Southlawn Drive. Internal to the site, care has been placed in the design of the parking lot to allow for the flow and circulation of both residents’ vehicles and larger vehicles; such as fire apparatus and delivery trucks; which allow delivery trucks to safely and efficiently enter the site. FIRE SAFETY An automatic fire suppression system is provided throughout the building, which will be monitored 24 hours a day. The developer will work with Fire Department and Building Official to properly locate a riser room, mechanical room, fire suppression controls/ systems, and a lock box. Fire hydrants will be included within the future detailed design. TRASH/ RECYCLING Trash collection is expected to occur in designated trash rooms located in the underground parking garage. Trash rooms are anticipated to served by trash chutes accessible to all floors of the building. No trash/refuse area will be proposed outside of the building. PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS This project will include benefits from existing sidewalks along the north and west side of the Subject Property. This proposed project includes the following two new pedestrian connections: 1. East-to-West 10’ bituminous trail connection on the south side of the site. 2. North-to-South 8’ bituminous trail connection on east side of site. This is a temporary connection, located within 40’ of ROW dedicated to the City as part of this project. This temporary path will be replaced by the City’s typical 80’ ROW roadway plan, as depicted within the New North Ordinance, in the future (which will include sidewalks on both sides of the new road). WATER & SANITARY SEWER Sanitary sewer services are proposed to be accessed from County Road D, on the north side of the proposed apartment building. City water services are proposed to be accessed from County Road D, on the north side of the proposed apartment building. The developer will be utilizing Westwood Professional Services to provide civil engineering/design services. An existing conditions survey is included within this submittal along with a utilities plan. E1, Attachment 5 CDRB Packet Page Number 22 of 80 STORM WATER & GRADING The site will generally be graded to flow from the north (County Road D) to the south (existing storm pond). The majority of stormwater treatment/ infiltration will occur within a new underground system—located below the proposed surface parking lot. A portion of stormwater treatment will occur within a new stormwater basin, which will be constructed on the southwest corner of the Subject Property. Generally speaking, this redevelopment project will result in less impervious surface that the previous use. Furthermore, the previous use included no stormwater treatment—therefore, this redevelopment project will have a relatively positive impact on the overall stormwater system. The developer will be utilizing Westwood Professional Services to provide civil engineering/design services. A stormwater plan is included within this submittal and the Developer has applied for permit to the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District. DEVELOPMENT FEES Based on Developer’s review and interpretation of City Zoning Code, the developer anticipates paying the following development fees: • Park Dedication: $427,500 • City Sewer Connection Fee: $31,330 • City Water Connection Fee: $68,685 • Metropolitan Council Sewer Fee: $598,885 E1, Attachment 5 CDRB Packet Page Number 23 of 80 TBPLS Firm No. 10074302 October 24, 2022 City of Maplewood Members of the City Council, Planning Commission, and ENRC Attn: Elizabeth Hammond & Shann Finwall 1902 County Road B E Maplewood, MN 55109 Re: Redevelopment of the Myth Night Club Site – Variance Application for Wetland Setback File 0037066.00 Dear Members of the City Council, Planning Commission, and ENRC: Please find the enclosed variance application related to the Chapter 18, Article V (Environmental Protection and Critical Area) Section 4(a), Minimum Wetland Buffers. The subject of this application is related to the pond located on the south side of the proposed development. Existing Conditions The existing structure, sidewalk, and surface parking have an approximate setback of 3’ to 11’ from the delineated wetland edge. A retaining wall north of the pond is in poor condition and in need of replacement due to structural instability. Existing vegetation is largely composed of invasive species and debris litters the pond’s edge, as seen in the attached images. Regarding stormwater management, the existing site does not address water quality, rate, and volume of stormwater runoff prior to discharge into the pond. Runoff from the site currently discharges directly into the pond without any treatment. Proposed Improvements The proposed redevelopment project includes demolition of the existing structure and parking lot and construction of a residential apartment building. The proposed redevelopment improvements include a natural pedestrian corridor for public use and enjoyment south of the proposed building. This proposed accessible trail will feature overlook benches sourced from recycled materials, native pollinator plants and shrubs, and a tree canopy native to wetland ecosystems. Although this is on private property, signage will be provided to designate the trail for public use. The proposed building will have an average 42.9’ setback from the delineated wetland edge. The development proposes to remove and replace the existing structurally unstable retaining wall. Restoration of the southerly 25’ within the wetland buffer with native vegetation will comply with the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District requirements. This restoration will require grading activity within 3.3’ of the delineated wetland edge to remove the existing pavement and building and establish the area with native vegetation. E1, Attachment 6 CDRB Packet Page Number 24 of 80 TBPLS Firm No. 10074302 Additionally, the remaining area between the restored native buffer and the building will be established as the previously mentioned natural pedestrian corridor. The proposed redevelopment will significantly increase the wetland buffer setback width of the pond from existing conditions from an average of 7’ to 42.9’. The proposed redevelopment also improves stormwater management on site with volume, rate, and quality improvements intended to meet watershed requirements prior to discharge into the pond. These improvements significantly improve upon the existing conditions and will work towards improving water quality in the pond and flood management in the area. Sustainability initiatives, guided by the City of Maplewood’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, will be implemented in the proposed redevelopment. Strategies to help mitigate climate concerns include installation of rooftop solar panels, electric vehicle charging stations, and compliance with the City’s Green Building Code throughout demolition. Additionally, the proposed redevelopment improves the overall site pervious surface coverage from approximately 8% to 39%, which helps mitigate the urban heat island effect. The proposed development intends to meet the requirements of the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District rules including the 25’ wetland buffer setback, and project review is in process with the watershed. Additional Information Regarding Development Process Based on historical imagery and existing piped stormwater discharge into the pond, Westwood (Civil Engineer representing the Developer) interpreted that the pond located on the south side of the subject property is a “Stormwater Pond” as defined by City Code. Westwood understood said City “Stormwater Pond” designation would result in a 10’ wetland buffer setback, which is consistent with existing site conditions. As part of the recent permit application at Ramsey-Washington County Watershed, the Watershed requested a wetland delineation to verify classification of the pond. Westwood was notified the Watershed classifies said pond as a “Manage C” Wetland. Based on City Code, “Manage C” would result in the requirement for a 50’ wetland buffer setback; and results in the current proposed building layout not complying with City Code. Accordingly, enclosed is an application requesting a variance to allow for the building setback approximately 40’ from the wetland edge as shown in the table below. City Code Request Wetland Buffer Setback 50’ 25’ Additional Setback to Building 0’ 15’ Gross Total 50’ 40’ Unique Characteristics of Site Development • Based on the New North End Ordinance passed by the City this year, the new property owner (Developer) is required to dedicate approximately 14.3% of its site for City ROW which decreases the overall site buildable area. Additionally, the developer is proposing to E1, Attachment 6 CDRB Packet Page Number 25 of 80 TBPLS Firm No. 10074302 provide a gross building setback of over 40’ against said pond which decreases the overall site buildable area. The ability to place a building and include sufficient surface parking and circulation will become impractical if additional buildable space is removed. • Based on the New North End Ordinance passed by the City this year, the Developer understands an emphasis exists for urban style development by placing buildings on the exterior of the site, within build-to zones, and covering as much frontage as possible. The developer interprets said design standards as an important component of the essential character of the locality. The developer has attempted to practically meet said design intent via the current proposal. Complying with the City’s 50’ wetland buffer setback and further pushing the southern building facade back from the pond would reduce building frontage along the west and east sides of the project. Additionally, the building is unable to makeup this potentially reduced side frontage by extending the building north due to safety concerns of the building encroaching into the sight line triangle at the intersection of County Rd D and Southlawn Dr. • Westwood has reviewed historical photos of the pond (area the pond currently sits). A 1940 aerial photo shows no ponding in the current location. Westwood believes this pond may have been initially the result of man-made farming runoff. As Maplewood was further developed, this pond took on water from significant areas of untreated impervious surface added nearby. The proposed redevelopment design includes a wetland buffer setback greater than the City’s “Storm Pond” regulations, significantly greater than existing conditions, and slightly less than the City’s “Manage C” regulations. The design includes native restoration with an accessible pedestrian walkway that will provide additional connectivity through the city’s public pedestrian network. This design is in compliance with Watershed regulations. Westwood considers this approach as practical. Thank you for your consideration. Westwood and the Developer are available to answer questions and provide additional information.

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 an underground infiltration system and an infiltration basin. 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 The proposed site meets and surpasses the City’s stormwater management standards, increasing greenspace (pervious areas) onsite by roughly 1.5 acres and reducing runoff volumes significantly for all storm events, including by 84% for the 2-year design event, 63% for the 10-year event, and 36% in the 100-year event. Likewise, pre-treatment devices have been included in the design to remove sediment upstream of infiltration practices. The proposed development should significantly improve the quality of runoff reaching the adjacent pond. 1) The project shall be submitted to the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (RWMWD) for review. All conditions of RWMWD shall be met. 2) A joint storm water maintenance agreement shall be prepared and signed by the owner for the proposed infiltration basin, pretreatment devices, and underground infiltration E1, Attachment 11 CDRB Packet Page Number 44 of 80 system. The Owner shall submit a signed copy of the joint storm-water maintenance agreement with the RWMWD to the City. 3) The emergency overflow for the infiltration basin shall be properly stabilized/armored to prevent erosion during an overflow event. 4) Pre-treatment of stormwater before discharge into infiltration basins is required. A minimum 3-foot deep sump or similar pre-treatment shall be installed on CBMH-301 to provide pre-treatment and sediment removal upstream of the proposed filtration basin. Grading and Erosion Control 5) All slopes shall be 3H:1V or flatter. 6) 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. 7) A double row of heavy-duty silt fencing or approved equal is required long the southern edge of construction (north of the pond) to prevent sediment from impacting the adjacent pond. 8) Adjacent streets and parking areas shall be swept as needed to keep the pavement clear of sediment and construction debris. 9) All pedestrian facilities shall be ADA compliant. 10) The total grading volume (cut/fill) shall be noted on the plans. 11) A copy of the project SWPPP and approved NDPES Permit shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a grading permit. Sanitary Sewer and Water Service 12) 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. 13) All modifications to the water system shall be reviewed by Saint Paul regional Water Services. All requirements of SPRWS shall be met. 14) All new sanitary sewer service piping shall be schedule 40 PVC or SDR35. E1, Attachment 11 CDRB Packet Page Number 45 of 80 Traffic Analysis The developer supplied a traffic impact analysis as part of the overall submittal. The report analyzed the existing traffic patterns and demands in the area and projected demands post development. From the information submitted it appears that the adjacent roadways and intersections will function acceptably in the post-development conditions. Other 15) The existing retaining wall just north of the pond is failing and requires replacement. It is currently shown being replaced in the proposed plans. 16) All work within the Southlawn Avenue right-of-way (ROW) will require a City ROW permit. All requirements of the City’s ROW ordinance shall be met. 17) The project shall be reviewed by Ramsey County. All requirements of Ramsey County shall be met. A Ramsey County ROW permit is required for work along County Road D. 18) The existing sidewalks adjacent to the site shall be protected throughout construction. Damaged portions of the sidewalk shall be replaced with the same materials and at the same thicknesses as are existing. 19) The applicant shall provide a self-renewing letter of credit or cash escrow in the amount of 125% of the proposed site improvements including earthwork, grading, erosion control, site vegetation establishment (sod, seed, etc.), aggregate base, and paving. Public Works Permits The following permits are required by the Maplewood Public Works Department for this project. The applicant should verify the need for other City permits with the Building Department. 20) Right-of-way permit 21) Grading and erosion control permit 22) Storm Sewer Permit 23) Sanitary Sewer Permit - END COMMENTS - E1, Attachment 11 CDRB Packet Page Number 46 of 80 Environmental Review Project: Enclave Development Date of Plans: Landscape Plan (October 24, 2022) and Tree Preservation Plan (Submitted September 28, 2022 – no date on plan) Date of Review: November 3, 2022 Location: 3090 Southlawn Drive North Reviewer: Shann Finwall, Environmental Planner 651-249-2304, shann.finwall@maplewoodmn.gov Carole Gernes, Natural Resources Coordinator 651-249-2416, carole.gernes@maplewoodmn.gov Project Background: The applicant proposes to redevelopment the Myth Nightclub site at 3090 Southlawn Drive with a 241-unit, 4-story, market-rate apartment building. The applicants must comply with the City’s tree, wetland, solid waste, and green building ordinances and meet all landscape policies. Trees 1. Tree Preservation Ordinance: a. Significant Trees: Maplewood’s tree preservation ordinance describes a significant tree as a healthy tree of the following size: hardwood tree with a minimum of 6 inches in diameter, an evergreen tree with a minimum of 8 inches in diameter, and a softwood tree with a minimum of 12 inches in diameter. b. Specimen Trees: A specimen tree is defined as a healthy tree of any species that is 28 inches in diameter or greater. c. Tree Replacement: If greater than 20 percent of significant trees are removed, tree replacement is based on a calculation of significant trees located on the site and significant trees removed. Credits are given for all specimen trees that are preserved. If less than 20 percent of significant trees are removed, tree replacement is based on a calculation of one 2-caliper inch replacement tree per significant tree removed. d. Tree Replacement: The tree standards require that as many replacement trees be planted on the site as possible. An applicant can pay into the City’s tree fund at a rate of $60 per caliper inch for trees that cannot be planted on site. The City uses the tree fund to manage trees in parks and within the right-of-way. 2. Tree Impacts: The tree plan identifies 52 trees on the site. Eight of those trees are located on the property to the east within the shared parking lot area. Of the remaining trees, the following do not qualify as significant trees: 7 due to size, 1 invasive Siberian Elm, and 18 dead ash trees. The remaining 18 trees are identified as significant trees totaling 138.5 caliper inches. Development of the site will include the removal of all 18 significant trees (100 percent). E1, Attachment 12 CDRB Packet Page Number 47 of 80 3. Tree Replacement: The landscape plan shows 42 new trees, totaling 105 caliper inches of replacement trees. This is 61 caliper inches less than City code requires. 4. Tree Recommendations: a. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant must submit the following: 1) Revised Tree Preservation Plan showing: a) Revised tree preservation/mitigation summary showing the correct number of significant trees on the site (removing trees on the adjacent lot, trees that are not 5 caliper inches or larger, Siberian elm invasive species, and dead ash trees). b) Preservation of the 8.5 caliper inch ash tree located on the eastern property (tree #22); or a statement from the adjacent property owner that they approve of the tree removal and the replacement of one 2-caliper inch tree on their site. 2) Tree Protection Plan: The plan should show how the trees located on the adjacent eastern property (within the shared parking lot area) will be protected per the City’s Tree Standards. 3) Escrow: The applicant must submit a tree escrow in the amount of $60 per caliper inch of trees to be replaced on the site. The escrow will be released once the trees are planted with a one-year warranty. 4) Revised Landscape Plan: The revised plan must identify 105 caliper inches of additional tree replacement. Alternatively, the applicant must pay into the City’s tree fund (see below). 5) Tree fund: The applicants must submit a tree fund payment in the amount of $60 per caliper inch of replacement tree that cannot be planted on site. Since 105 caliper inches of trees are proposed to be planted on the site, the applicants would owe the City’s tree fund $3,660 (166.2 caliper inches of required tree replacement – 105 caliper inches of trees planted on the site = 61 caliper inches of trees not planted on the site x $60 = $3,660). Wetland 1. Wetland Ordinance: The City’s wetland ordinance requires a 50-foot minimum buffer be maintained around a Manage C wetland. No mowing, grading, or building is allowed within the buffer. 2. Wetland Buffer Impacts: There is a Manage C wetland located on the south side of the property (50-foot buffer required). The existing Myth structure, sidewalk, and surface parking have an approximate setback of 3 to 11 feet from the wetland. Additionally, there is a retaining wall along the edge of the wetland. There is no green space between the development and the wetland. In E1, Attachment 12 CDRB Packet Page Number 48 of 80 order to proceed with the project, the structure, sidewalk, and surface parking lot will be removed and the retaining wall will be reconstructed due to structural instability. The building will be constructed with an average setback of 42.9 feet to the wetland and the sidewalk on the south side of the building will come to within 25 feet of the wetland. The applicants are proposing to plant native trees, shrubs, and seed within the 25 feet of green space between the sidewalk and the wetland. In order to remove the existing building, sidewalk, surface parking lot, and retaining wall the applicants must grade up to the wetland, which will require a 50-foot wetland buffer variance. 3. Wetland Buffer Recommendations: a. Prior to issuance of a grading permit the applicant must: 1) Submit a wetland buffer mitigation plan as follows: a) Native Plugs: Include native plugs to be installed within the 25- foot re-established wetland buffer. Currently the landscape plan identifies a pollinator seed mix. Using plants rather than seeds hastens establishment and provides a better chance of successful establishment. The applicants should plant all plugs, or a mix of plugs and native seed mix in this area. b) Seed Mix: 1. Provide information on the percentages and species of native seed mix. 2. Provide information on the maintenance required for the planting year, and years two and three, addressing what maintenance activities will be required and what entity (developer, owner, etc.) will take on the responsibility. c) Wetland Buffer Signs: Identify on the wetland buffer mitigation plan the location of wetland buffer signs. The City of Maplewood supplies wetland buffer signs identifying that no building, mowing, or grading should take place within the buffer. There is a $35 fee per sign. The applicant must install the signs at the newly established wetland buffer edge (25 feet). The signs should be placed every 100 feet at a minimum. d) Public Trail Sign: Identify on the plan the location of two public trail signs to be installed at the entrances to the trail (along Southlawn Drive and County Road D). The City of Maplewood supplies the public trail sign. There is a $35 fee per sign. e) Bench Overlook: Identify on the plan the location of a bench overlooking the wetland along the south trail. The bench will allow pedestrians on the trail an opportunity to sit and enjoy the newly E1, Attachment 12 CDRB Packet Page Number 49 of 80 established wetland buffer. In addition to the bench, the overlook could incorporate boulders, rocks, and native plants. 2) Install the wetland buffer signs. 3) Sign a wetland buffer mitigation and maintenance agreement with the City requiring that the applicant establish and maintain the required mitigation within the buffer for a three-year period. The City of Maplewood will draft the maintenance agreement once the wetland buffer mitigation plan is complete. 4) Submit a cash escrow or letter of credit to cover 150 percent of the wetland buffer mitigation. The City will retain the escrow for up to three years as outlined in the maintenance agreement to ensure the wetland buffer mitigation is established and maintained. Infiltration Basins 1. Infiltration Basins Proposed: There is a small infiltration basin proposed in the interior of the lot (Basin A) and a large infiltration basin proposed on the southwest corner of the lot (Basin B). 2. City Infiltration Basin Planting Requirements: Large infiltration basins will ideally be planted with deep-rooted native plants. The City requires a portion of the basin to be planted rather than seeded. 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. 3. Infiltration Basin Recommendations: a. Provide a detailed landscape plan for the two infiltration basins, including a list of species, container size, spacing, and quantities to be approved by City staff. b. For any area using a native seed mix provide information on maintenance for planting year and growing years two and three, addressing what maintenance activities will be required and what entity (developer, owner, etc.) will take on this responsibility. c. Sign an infiltration basin maintenance agreement with the City requiring that the applicant establish and maintain the infiltration basin plantings for a three-year period. The City of Maplewood will draft the maintenance agreement once the infiltration basin planting plan is complete. Overall Landscaping Review of the overall landscape plan to ensure nonnative and invasive species are avoided, seed mix is appropriate for use in areas proposed, and plantings are climate resilient. Landscaping Recommendation: The tree and plant species proposed meet the City’s requirements. The applicant must submit a detailed seed mix plan for review. E1, Attachment 12 CDRB Packet Page Number 50 of 80 Green Building Code The Green Building Code applies to Maplewood owned and financed buildings. The goal of the Green Building Code is to safeguard the environment, public health, safety and general welfare through the establishment of requirements to reduce the negative impacts and increase the positive impacts of the built environment on the natural environment and building occupants. The Enclave apartment building must comply with the Green Building Code and ensure sections in the Code are complete including 1) energy conservation, efficiency, and CO2 emission reductions; and 2) material resource conservation and efficiency standards. Solid Waste Ordinance All multi-family properties are included in the City’s recycling program. The City of Maplewood contracts with Tennis Sanitation for multi-family recycling. Tennis Sanitation supplies 95-gallon recycling carts or recycling dumpsters collected weekly. The City of Maplewood adds the recycling fee onto the water bill. Prior to Certificate of Occupancy, the applicant must ensure recycling service is set up through the City’s recycling program.

Recommended Action: Motion to approve a resolution for design review and a comprehensive sign plan amendment for project plans date-stamped November 1, 2022, for the improvements at 1715 Beam Avenue East.

The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is December 31, 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: Design Review Site Plan The applicant seeks to reconfigure the existing parking lot. Vehicles accessing the site from the Southlawn Drive entrance will cut diagonally to the aligned bisector of the shopping center. This will E3 CDRB Packet Page Number 63 of 80 help to orientate parking better to the building. The applicant is working to enhance pedestrian flow into the center with a new walkway from Southlawn Drive. With this reconfiguration, the applicant is proposing to add trees, grasses and shrubs, and all-new LED lighting in existing locations in the parking lot. Building Elevations No structural alterations of the existing building are being proposed. The applicant is seeking approval to update the front façade of the building. The improvements would include painting new and existing EIFS grey, charcoal and black tones. The corner of the building, where Burlington is located, would be refashioned with red and grey fiber cement panels. The applicant believes building out this new red Burlington entrance will help orientate visitors and break up the long- running façade of the overall shopping center. Landscaping The applicant’s tree plan identifies 153 trees on the site. Sixty of those trees are large enough to be considered significant trees. However, 44 of the significant trees are dead ash trees. The significant tree definition states that the tree must be healthy; therefore, the dead ash trees are removed from the calculation, and the applicants are removing less than 20 percent of the overall significant trees on the site. This requires the replacement of one 2-caliper inch tree for each significant tree removed – 16 trees – 32 caliper inches of replacement trees. The applicant is proposing to plant 97 new trees. The applicant is proposing a mix of trees, grasses and shrubs to be plated throughout the site’s parking lot. Parking The city’s North End zoning ordinance states that a “Business” use must provide a minimum of one parking space for every 1,000 square feet of the building’s floor area, but no more than five parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet. The current parking lot has 1,305 parking spaces. With the parking lot reconfiguration, parking will be reduced to 1,258 spaces. The 1,258 spaces will provide the site with a parking ratio of 4.51 parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of the building’s floor area – meeting the city’s requirements. Lighting The applicant’s submitted photometric plan meets the city’s light intensity requirements. Comprehensive Sign Plan Amendment The site’s existing comprehensive sign plan was adopted in 1993. In 2012, the plan was amended to add more sign panel area to the existing “V” shaped pylon sign along Southlawn Drive for additional tenant identification. The applicant is requesting the existing comprehensive sign plan be amended to allow an additional 124 square-foot wall sign on the east side of the building facing Southlawn Drive for six tenant signs. This would replace the six individual tenant signs that the comprehensive sign plan currently allows. In addition to this new sign, the applicant intends to update and reface the existing monument signs on site. The existing monument signs are not increasing in height or size.

It was recently purchased by Birch Run Station LLC in Spring 2022. The site is 25.98 acres and includes an L shaped shopping center structure which flanks the north and west sides of the site. Currently the shopping center has several focal facades that identify and demarcate the entrance to major tenants. We are proposing to update focal facades with grey to charcoal and black tone compositions culminating in the red focal facade pivot point at the corner of the L shaped shopping center. This will better help orient and ground shoppers entering the center as it breaks up the long running façade with a red referential pivot point. In a similar manner, we are proposing a reconfiguration of the parking lot. The current design does not flow traffic from the Southlawn Drive entrance to an intuitive navigation point. To create better flow, the Southlawn Drive entrance will cut diagonally to the aligned bisector of the shopping center. This will help to orientate parking. Pedestrian flow will be enhanced into the center from both automobile entrance as well as pedestrian entrance from a new walkway from Southlawn Drive. With this reconfiguration, we will be including more than replacement counts for trees, added grasses and shrubs and all new LED lighting in existing locations of the parking. We are also proposing the addition of one sign per our land use agreement and reconfiguring both the Beam Avenue and Southlawn Drive signs to have the same area, but additional sub- divisions as shown in the sign drawing exhibits herein.

Tree removal and replacement is proposed with the reconfiguration of the parking lot. The applicants must comply with the City’s tree ordinance and landscape policies. Trees 1.Tree Preservation Ordinance: a.Significant Trees: Maplewood’s tree preservation ordinance describes a significant tree as a healthy tree of the following size: hardwood tree with a minimum of 6 inches in diameter, an evergreen tree with a minimum of 8 inches in diameter, and a softwood tree with a minimum of 12 inches in diameter. b.Specimen Trees: A specimen tree is defined as a healthy tree of any species that is 28 inches in diameter or greater. c.Tree Replacement: If greater than 20 percent of significant trees are removed, tree replacement is based on a calculation of significant trees located on the site and significant trees removed. Credits are given for all specimen trees that are preserved. If less than 20 percent of significant trees are removed, tree replacement is based on a calculation of one 2-caliper inch replacement tree per significant tree removed. d.Tree Replacement: The tree standards require that as many replacement trees be planted on the site as possible. An applicant can pay into the City’s tree fund at a rate of $60 per caliper inch for trees that cannot be planted on site. The City uses the tree fund to manage trees in parks and within the right-of -way. 2.Tree Impacts: The tree plan identifies 153 trees on the site. Sixty of those trees are large enough to be considered as significant trees. However, 44 of the significant trees are dead ash trees. The significant tree definition states the tree must be healthy, therefore the dead ash trees are removed from the calculation and the applicants are removing less than 20 percent of the overall significant trees on the site. This requires the replacement of one 2-caliper inch tree for each significant tree removed (16 trees – 32 caliper inches of replacement trees). E3, Attachment 7 CDRB Packet Page Number 79 of 80 3.Tree Replacement: The landscape plan states that 97 new trees will be planted on site. No tree size is noted, so overall caliper inches of replacement trees is unknown. . 4.Tree Recommendations: a.Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant must submit the following: 1)Landscape Plan: Revised landscape plan showing an updated plant schedule that identifies the number and size of each species of tree. 2)Tree Protection: Tree protection plan showing how trees to be preserved near grading work will be protected per the City’s Tree Standards. 3)Escrow: Tree escrow in the amount of $60 per caliper inch of trees to be replaced on the site. The escrow will be released once the trees are planted with a one-year warranty. Overall Landscaping Review of the overall landscape plan to ensure nonnative and invasive species are avoided, seed mix is appropriate for use in areas proposed, and plantings are climate resilient. Landscaping Recommendation: Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant must submit the following: 1)Submit a revised landscape plan with an updated plant schedule identifying the number and size of each species to be planted. 2)Work with the City’s Natural Resources Coordinator to ensure no species planted on the site are invasive, that species planted are native where possible and climate resilient.
