VI. DESIGN REVIEW A. Office Depot and Pier 1 Imports--Southeast Corner of 2570 White Bear Avenue and Lydia Avenue, Centres Group Secretary Tom Ekstrand presented the staff report. He said a lighting plan was not required by code but one of the staff recommendations was to have site-security lighting with certain restrictions. Paul Bilotta, of Centres Group, said their primary concern was to "provide a building that is really foresighted because of the residential behind." He said that typically the standards drop-off on the backsides of buildings. Centres Group was willing to maintain the ten-foot berm on the backside of this property but Concordia Arms (the building that borders this site on the east) would prefer to have this berm removed. Mr. Bilotta said either option could be worked into their plan. He said the loading docks have been turned around to face the front and, therefore, the view line of these docks will be narrowed. Mr. Bilotta said they have used color banding and light and dark colors to break up the building horizontally. In addition, projections have been made on the front of the Office Community Design Review Board Minutes of 05-25-99 -2- Deport portion and the Office Depot signage has been changed to a tan EiFS with a cornice running on top. He said eight-inch projections have been added to the back of the building and the cornice has been continued around the roofline to vertically break the line of the building. Mr. Bilotta said the roof is not a parapet but rises up around the signage and is flat in the back with raised areas over the columns. He said they have no problems with staff recommendations. The lighting will probably be shoebox lighting. Mr. Bilotta asked for clarification on whether the brick block on the north side will be required on just the Pier 1 frontage or continue on the portion of the Office Depot that projects. Mr. Ekstrand said he wasn't concerned about the portion of Office Depot that is higher than Pier 1 but he did want the north elevation to be treated the same as the front of the building. Mr. Bilotta stated that there was adequate room for parking and it would be to city code. According to Mr. Bilotta, Concordia Arms would like the berm taken down to the curb line and a fence added and run along the edge of the parking lot and building line to match the fence on the easterly portion of the Concordia Arms site. He said reasons given for removal of the berm were difficulty with the sight distance to Lydia Avenue and problems with maintenance. Mr. Bilotta showed samples of the dark base band which goes completely around the building, the reddish-colored block which is the brick-like piece that runs through 50 percent of the building, a light-color band that is around the top, and a very light color single or double brick which is a further break within the lighter band. He also had samples of the blue backing for behind the Pier 1 signage and the tan EIFS backing for the Office Depot sign. Chairperson Ledvina felt the berm should remain and the construction of a fence should be avoided. If the fence is built, the length should be reduced on the northerly portion of the berm. He said it is difficult to sandwich a fence between trees on a berm. Secretary Ekstrand was of the opinion that the applicant is proposing "a generous amount of landscaping in back on the Concordia Arms side." He thought some of it could be shifted but he was more concerned with the area west of Concordia Arms to give the residents better screening than the parking lot. Mr. Ekstrand suggested berming, even with intermittent fencing. He expected the landscape plan to be revised to save the berm and change the landscaping to provide more density. Secretary Ekstrand showed the north elevation of the building and pointed out where the brick detailing went to the edge of Pier 1 Imports and then rock-face block beyond. Boardmember Shankar thought the banding that was suggested to be extended on the other side of the Pier 1 Imports shouldn't stop at the corner but should return about eight feet to the south. Boardmember Shankar moved the Community Design Review Board approve the plans, date- stamped April 27, 1999, for proposed Office Depot and Pier 1 Imports at the southeast corner of White Bear Avenue and Lydia Avenue. Approval is subject to the following conditions: 1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this project. 2. Before getting a building permit, the applicant shall: Community Design Review Board Minutes of 05-25-99 -3- ao Submit grading, drainage, utility and erosion control plans to the city engineer for approval. This plan shall alsO detail the closing of the two existing curb cuts, the new street curb installation and ground restoration. Revise the north elevation of the Pier 1 Imports building to provide the same brick- pattern detailing and color scheme as proposed on the west elevation. This brick detailing shall return eight feet on the east elevation of Pier 1 Imports. c. Provide plans of the retaining wall for staff approval showing a protective railing at the top. The design and color of the retaining wall shall be compatible with the building. d. Revise the landscape plan for staff approval providing for a six-foot-tall and 80 percent opaque screen next to the Concordia Arms Apartments. eo If the owners of Concordia Arms and the developer agree that they feel the Concordia Arms berm should be cut down, the developer should submit a revised grading plan and a revised landscaping/screening plan for staff approval. The applicant shall complete the following before occupying the building: a. Install a reflectorized stop sign at both exits and a handicap-parking sign for each handicap parking space. b. Provide continuous concrete curb and gutter all around the parking lot and driveways. c. Remove the two existing driveway curb cuts and restore the ground and street curbing in both areas. d. Install the guardrail on top of the retaining wall. e. Paint the rooftop mechanical equipment to match the building color if the units are visible from the streets and nearby commercial properties.

This enclosure shall have a 100 percent opaque gate. g. Install an in-ground lawn irrigation system for all landscaped areas. (code requirement) h. Provide site-security lighting as required by the code. The light source, including the lenses covering the bulbs, shall be concealed or recessed so not to cause any nuisance to drivers or neighbors. I. Construct sidewalks along the Lydia Avenue and White Bear Avenue frontages to the intersection of these streets. The sidewalks shall be ramped to meet the street grade at the intersection and driveway crossings. The applicant shall also provide the short section of sidewalk on the Edina Realty property between Edina's driveway and their north lot line. 4. If any required work is not done, the city may allow temporary occupancy if: Community Design Review Board Minutes of 05-25-99 -4- a. The city determines that the work is not essential to the public health, safety or welfare. The city receives a cash escrow or an irrevocable letter of credit for the required work. The amount shall be 200 percent of the cost of the unfinished work. Any unfinished landscaping shall be completed by June 1 if the building is occupied in the fall or winter or within six weeks if the building is occupied in the spring or summer. 5. This approval does not include the signs. Signs will be reviewed by staff through the sign- permit process. 6. All work shall follow the approved plans. The director of community development may approve minor changes. Boardmember Johnson seconded. Chairperson Ledvina made a friendly amendment to have 2. d. read: Revise the landscape plan for staff approval maintaining the proposed berm and providing for a six-foot-tall and 80 percent opaque screen next to the Concordia Arms Apartments. This amendment was acceptable to Boardmembers Shankar and Johnson. Ayes--all The motion passed. B. Pineview Estates Condominiums--County Road D, Goff Homes, inc. Secretary Tom Ekstrand presented the staff report. He said the 1992 proposal had one-car garages with a second story above the garages. The roof was hip style. The revised plans are for a three-story building with the garages on the first level and two living stories above that. There were 72 units proposed. Pat Goff, the applicant, said the retaining walls would be four feet or less. Mr. Goff said the roofs would be a shaded, medium earth tone, the siding will be almond with white trim and the brick is a blended medium sand color. Boardmember Shankar felt the brick that is shown should be returned on the County Road D side of the building. The beige central air-conditioning units will sit on the decks. The deck rails are painted, baked, white enamel over aluminum. The divider wall on the deck, between the units, is sided and trimmed in white, wrapped aluminum. The siding will continue around the front of the deck. Mr. Goff said at the north end of each building there are three extra parking stalls. Each unit has the capacity to park two vehicles in the garage, two outside and any overload at the end of the building. He said potential residents are told that there should only be two licensed vehicles per household at the household. No parking of boats, motor homes, etc. will be allowed outside at any time. Chairperson Ledvina commented that he did not see any landscaping proposed in the green strips on the west and east sides of the property. Mr. Ekstrand said the west side abuts a drainage pond owned by the City of Maplewood so no landscaping is needed there. He agreed that some landscaping would be appropriate along the east side. Mr. Ledvina agreed Community Design Review Board Minutes of 05-25-99 -5- with a previous comment about the appearance of the building on the south side. He felt the brick should be wrapped along the elevation. Mr. Ledvina suggested some other type of architectural detail, i.e. a Iouvered circle or half-circle, to break up the wall. Mr. Shankar liked the dormers shown on the previous plan. Mr. Ledvina agreed and thought the dormers would help to break up the asphalt. Mr. Shankar felt the applicant could be asked to add the dormers on the south elevation and "forget about the front elevation." Mr. Ledvina agreed and said the appearance of the units on County Road D was a strong concern of his. Boardmember Johnson moved the Community Design Review Board approve the plans (date-stamped May 7, 1999) for Pineview Estates, based on the findings required by the code. The developer, Goff Homes, shall do the following: 1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this project. Before getting a building permit the applicant shall: a. Submit a grading, drainage, utility and erosion control plan to the city engineer for approval. b. Submit a plan for the retaining wall to staff for approval. The developer shall install a protective rail on top of the retaining wall if it is taller than four feet. c. Submit the building color scheme to staff for approval. d. The applicant shall extend the brick base on the south elevation of each unit and add two dormers at the roof line above each window on the third floor on the south elevations. Complete the following before occupying the building: a. Replace property irons that are removed because of this construction. b. Restore and sod damaged boulevards. Sod all landscaped areas, except the hillside to the north which shall remain in its present state. Co Install reflectorized stop signs at both exits and addresses for the buildings and complex. Install an automatic in-ground irrigation system with a rain sensor for all landscaped areas, except for the hillside to the north. e. Install continuous concrete curbing. If any required work is not done, the city may allow temporary occupancy if' a. The city determines that the work is not essential to the public health, safety or welfare. b. The city receives a cash escrow or an irrevocable letter of credit for the required work. The amount shall be 200 percent of the cost of the unfinished work. Any unfinished Community Design Review Board Minutes of 05-25-99 -6- landscaping shall be completed by June 1 if the building is occupied in the fall or winter or within six weeks if the building is occupied in the spring or summer. 5. All work shall follow the approved plans. The director of community development may approve minor changes. Boardmember Shankar seconded. Ayes--all Secretary Ekstrand asked about adding to the landscaping recommendation. Boardmember Shankar moved an amendment to the motion to change 3. d. to read: Install an automatic in- ground irrigation system with a rain sensor for all landscaped areas, except for the hillside to the north. Applicant shall add landscaping to the east side of the site, subject to staff approval. This amendment was acceptable to Boardmember Johnson. Ayes--all The motion passed. Secretary Ekstrand stated that the applicant, Mr. Goff, could appeal any of the conditions within 15 days. C. Hill-Murray High School Expansion--2625 Larpenteur Avenue Secretary Tom Ekstrand presented the staff report. Boardmember Ledvina said he didn't see any catch basins or other stormwater control planned for the parking lot. Mr. Ekstrand said a grading, drainage, and erosion control plan must be submitted to the city engineer for approval. Joe Peschges, the president of Hill-Murray School, said they really wanted to focus on the accessibility and the parking lot. He stated that the parking lot was a "real" need. Mr. Peschges mentioned that approval was needed from the Benedictine sisters for the parking lot because it was their property. According to Mr. Peschges, Ken Roberts of Maplewood said the turf management plan, Item B. 2 .c., was approved by the City of Maplewood in April. Mr. Peschges would like this approval in writing. Greg Dehler, of Wold Architects and Engineers, addressed the staff comment that additional brick, rather than precast, be incorporated on the addition. He noted that concrete is now visible on the building. Mr. Dehler said there were two main elements they were trying to match on the building: 1) the brick, and 2) the vertical elements that are the Kasota stone product incorporated into the building. This stone is the color of the precast that they are anticipating using. He would prefer to use the precast instead of brick. Mr. Dehler said there was no problem with any of the other recommendations. One roof-top air-conditioning unit will be added and painted to match the background color of the brick and placed on the existing portion of the building. Mr. Dehler said there will probably be some type of signage incorporated into the horizontal band. The existing sign would have to be modified. Boardmember Shankar said he had no problem with the architectural precast as long as it matched the Kasota stone as closely as possible. Secretary Ekstrand said the brick was a preference for staff but he did not have a strong feeling about the matter. Community Design Review Board -7- Minutes of 05-25-99 Boardmember Shankar moved the Community Design Review Board: B. Approve the plans, date-stamped March 19, 1999, for the parking lot changes and proposed front entry addition to Hill-Murray High School at 2625 Larpenteur Avenue. The city bases this approval on the findings required by the code and the project shall be subject to the following conditions: 1.

ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 7:'18 p.m. MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: Ci~ Manager Thomas Ekstrand, Associate Planner Conditional Use PermitandDesign Review - Schroeder Milk May 26,1999 INTRODUCTION Project Description Schroeder Milk Company is proposing a three-phase expansion of their milk processing business at 2080 Rice Street. Refer to pages 7-9. The proposal consists of: Phase 1: A 700-square-foot addition on the northwest comer of the building plus a 33,900-square-foot production and warehouse addition on the back of the building. The smaller addition would have an extedor of painted smooth-face concrete block to match the existing building. The larger addition in back would have an extedor of white-colored metal wall panels to match the existing building. Phase 2: A 4,600-square-foot production-area addition on the northwest corner of the building behind the smaller Phase 1 addition. This phase would include four 40,000-gallon stainless-steel silo tanks. The north side of this addition would have a textured surface and be painted to match the adjacent north elevation of the building. The existing 15-stall parking lot north of this proposed phase would be replaced with landscaping. Phase 3: A 20,250-square-foot cooler addition also on the back of the building north of the larger Phase 1 addition. This addition would have an extedor of white-colored metal wall panels to match the existing building and the Phase 1 addition. 4. Extending the pavement 125 feet to the east behind the proposed Phase 1 and 3 additions. o Eliminating 15 parking spaces north of the building. The applicant would add a new parking lot for 95 spaces in the southwest corner of the site and stripe seven more spaces on the existing pavement. These 102 new spaces are required for the loss of the 15 parking spaces north of the building and to provide the required number of spaces for the proposed additions. Refer to the letter and parking addendum on pages 11-12. Requests The applicant is requesting the city council approve: 1. A conditional use permit (CUP) for their proposed expansions. The city code requires a CUP for dairy product processing and distribution facilities. Refer to the letter on page 10. 2. The site, landscaping and building design plans. BACKGROUND 1994 Expansion June 27, 1994: The city council approved a CUP, parking-space waiver and design plans for Schroeder Milk's last expansion project. The code required 166 parking spaces for the applicant's previous expansion proposal. The council allowed a 67-space parking reduction and required 99 spaces. August 28, 1995, November 13, 1995, October 28, 1996, July 14, 1997 and July 13, 1998: The city council reviewed that CUP for project completion and condition compliance. At the last review, the council moved to review it again only if a problem develops because all conditions were being met. Current Expansion Proposal May 24, 1999: The city council adopted a resolution authorizing staff to submit an application to the state to participate in the Minnesota Investment Fund Program. This program would aid the applicant in securing financing for their expansion proposal. DISCUSSION Conditional Use Permit The city council should approve the CUP. This proposal meets the findings for approval required by the code and would provide jobs for 40 to 50 people. The majodty of the expansion proposed would be behind the existing plant and, therefore, would not visually impact the area. Parking The applicant is proposing enough new parking stalls to replace the 15 spaces north of the building and for the proposed additions. The parking addendum on page m shows 95 new spaces with seven more to be added on existing paving. There is sufficient reom for these seven stalls, but the applicant should provide a revised site plan for staff approval showing them. Furthermore, there is sufficient site area reserved as "proof-of-parking" should more spaces be needed in the future. Design Considerations Staff finds no problems with the design of proposed materials. The proposed additions would match existing building. RECOMMENDATIONS Adopt the resolution on pages 13-14 approving a conditional use permit for a Dairy Product Processing business at 2080 Rice Street. Approval is based on the findings required by the code and subject to the following conditions: 2 All construction shall follow the site plan approved by the city. The director of community development may approve minor changes. The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of council approval or the permit shall become null and void. The council may extend this deadline for one year. The city council shall review this permit in one year. If the city council determines there is not enough on-site parking, the council may require that the property owner provide additional parking. Bo Approve the plans, date-stamped May 7, 1999, for proposed three-phase Schroeder Milk expansion proposal at 2080 Rice Street. Approval is based on the findings required by the code and subject to the following conditions: 1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this project. 2. Before getting a building permit, the applicant shall: a. Submit grading, drainage, utility and erosion control plans to the city engineer for approval. b. Submit a revised site plan for staff approval showing the location of seven additional parking spaces on the existing pavement. 3. The applicant shall complete the following before occupying the building: Provide enough handicap-accessible parking spaces to comply with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements. This may involve restriping an existing parking lot to provide additional spaces close to the building. b. With the Phase 2 construction, close the existing curb cut along the Cub Foods ddveway with continuous curbing and landscape according to the approved plan. c. Provide continuous concrete curb and gutter all around the new parking lot. d. Paint new rooftop mechanical equipment to match the building color if the units are visible. (code requirement) so The trash-dumpster screening requirement is waived unless the dumpsters would be visible to the public. In which case, an enclosure shall be provided using the same materials and color as the building. f. Install an in-ground lawn irrigation system for the landscaped area north of the building. 3 go Provide site-security lighting as required by the code. The light source, including the lens covedng the bulb, shall be concealed so not to cause any nuisance to ddvers or neighbors. 4. If any required work is not done, the city may allow temporary occupancy if: a. The city determines that the work is not essential to the public health, safety or welfare. The city receives a cash escrow or an irrevocable letter of credit for the required work. The amount shall be 200 percent of the cost of the unfinished work. Any unfinished landscaping shall be completed by June 1 if the building is occupied in the fall or winter or within six weeks if the building is occupied in the spdng or summer. All work shall follow the approved plans. The director of community development may approve minor changes.

The responses follow the format and criteria listing found in the Conditional Use Permit Application. 1. Schroeder Milk Company's continued growth in the fluid packaging industry dictates the need to expand our facility within the present property boundaries on Rice Street. The proposed additions will match the existing building in terms of materials and height. The new work will be designed, constructed, maintained and operated in compliance with the City's Code of Ordinances. 2. The building expansion program will not alter the existing or planned character of the surrounding area. 3. The building expansion program will not depreciate adjacent propen'y values. 4. Ti~e use of the proposed expanded facility would be similar to the existing operatiom This use does not cause nuisances due to excessive noise, glare, smoke, dust, odor, fumes, water or air pollution's, drainage water nm off, vibrations, general unsightliness or electrical interference. 5. We do not expect that the building expansion program will significantly increase vehicular traffic or create traffic congestion or unsafe access on Rice Street. There will be no new curb cuts on this project. 6. Existing public facilities and services adequately sen,ice our existing and proposed expanded use. This includes streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, sewer systems, schools and parks. There will be an increase in water demand do to the need to expand the automatic fire protection and processing of products. 7. The use would not create excessive additional costs for public facilities or services. 8. The natural and scenic features of the site will be maintained. Landscaping will be utilized where practical and to the satisfaction of the city. 9. The building expansion program will not cause or create any adverse environmental effects to the community. Thank you for your consideration and cooperation in this application process. We look forward to continuing our long lasting relationship in the community.

Application for Conditional Use Permit Schroeder Milk Company, Inc. 2080 Rice Street BA g9896 Dear Mr. Ekstrand: This letter is a follow up to our recent discussions concerning the proposed off-steet parking layout for the above project. The Maplewood Zoning Ordinance requires a total of 87 new parking spaces for the total building expansion program, Phases 1, 2, and 3 (see the parking calculations on Drawing P1). Additionally, 15 spaces will have to be picked up due to the removal and greening of the existing 15 stalls at the northwest corner of the site during Phase 2. Thus an additional 102 spaces must be provided prior to the completion of Phase 3. Schroeder Milk Company has agreed to provide all 102 spaces during Phase 1. A new 95 car parking lot is proposed for the southwest corner of the site (see the attached drawing) and 7 new spaces will be designated on existing pavement adjacent to the existing building. Please attach this letter and drawing as an Addendum to the submittal for the Application for Conditional Use Permit. If you have any questions, please feel free to call.

The Maplewood City Council adopted this resolution on 14 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: SUBJECT: LOCATION: DATE: City Manager Ken Roberts, Associate Planner Conditional Use Permit and Design Review - Relocated Bruentrup Farm 2170 County Road D June 2, 1999 INTRODUCTION Project Description The Maplewood Historical Society and Mike Ericson, Assistant to the City Manager, are requesting approval of plans to relocate several of the Bruentrup farm buildings. They want to move these buildings from their current location (2980 White Bear Avenue) to the city-owned property at 2170 County Road D. Refer to the maps on pages 5 and 6. The relocated farm will become the home of the Maplewood Historical Society and the city also may use the facility as a Nature Center or for parks and recreation activities. Please also see the memo from Mike Ericson (starting on page 7) for more information. Requests The applicants are requesting that the city council approve: 1. A CUP for a public facility. The city code requires a CUP for "public utility, public service or public building uses." 2. A waiver of the code requirements for paving the parking lot, parking lot curbing and striping and in-ground lawn irrigation. 3. The building and site plan. BACKGROUND On January 11, 1999, the Maplewood City Council decided not to hold a referendum whereby the citizens would have voted to buy the existing farm at 2980 White Bear Avenue. As such, the property became available for development. On May 24, 1999, the city council approved a motion of support for the relocation of the Bruentrup farm buildings to the city property at 2170 County Road D. (See the motion on page 9.) On May 25, 1999, Governor Jesse Ventura signed the law approving a $100,000 grant to the city for project costs for the relocation of the Bruentrup Farm. DISCUSSION Conditional Use Permit The proposed relocated farm meets the findings for CUP approval and would be compatible with the existing development and land uses in the area. Having this farm relocated to a location that once had a farm should not cause any problems for the city or for the neighbors. Design Considerations Building Desi.qn The proposed relocated farm would be attractive. Staff is proposing to reroof the house, barn and granary with cedar shingles after the contractor moves them since they now are in poor condition. Waivers Staff is recommending that the city council drop several of the conditions of approval that the city code requires of such a project. These include having a paved parking area, concrete curbing, parking lot striping and lawn irrigation. The existing farm does not have these features and the proposed relocated farm is to be set in a historical context. Having concrete curbing, paving and a lawn irrigation system would not fit with a 100-year-old farm. The lawn-irrigation requirement should not be necessary since there would be on-site personnel that could water the landscaping. The city made this same finding in waiving the lawn-irrigation requirement for the Edgerton Elementary School and the Carver Elementary School expansion proposals. Parkin.q Considerations The proposed site plan does not specify the exact number of off-street parking spaces that the relocated farm will have. The proposed parking areas, however, should be clearly defined with gravel and should have barriers to prevent vehicles from wandering off the gravel. The city code does not specify minimum parking requirements for such a facility. In addition, there would be room on the site to add more parking if the city council deems it necessary. Landscapin,q and Tree Removal The proposed plans would preserve most of the trees on the site. There would be a few trees and shrubs lost to fit all the buildings and parking areas on the site. The applicant is not proposing any new landscaping with the proposed building relocation and new parking lot, however. RECOMMENDATIONS Adopt the resolution on pages 15 and 16. This resolution approves a conditional use permit (CUP) for the relocation of the Bruentrup Farm to the city property at 2170 County Road D. This public facility will be for use by the Maplewood Historical Society and for other city functions. The city bases this approval on the ten findings in the city code and is subject to the following conditions: 1. All construction and building locations shall follow the site plan approved by the city. The director of community development may approve minor changes. The proposed building relocation and new construction must be substantially started within one year of council approval or the permit shall end. The council may extend this deadline for one year. 3. The city council shall review this permit in one year. 4. The city shall add more parking to the site if the city council deems it necessary. 5. Any new lights shall be installed to meet the city code. This requires that they be screened or aimed so they do not cause any light-glare problems on streets or residential properties. 6. If necessary, the city shall get a permit from the watershed district for the grading and site disturbance. Bo Approve the resolution on page 17. This resolution waives the code requirements for parking lot paving, parking lot striping, parking lot curbing and an in-ground irrigation system for the relocated Bruentrup farm at 2170 County Road D. Approve the plans (dated 5-21-99) for the proposed relocation of the Bruentrup farm to the city property at 2170 County Road D. The city bases this approval on the findings required by the code. The property owner (the city) and the Maplewood Historical Society shall do the following: 1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this project. 2. Before the city issues a building permit, the city engineer shall complete the necessary grading, drainage, utility and erosion control plans. 3. The applicant or contractor shall complete the following before occupying the buildings: a. Replace property irons that are removed because of this construction. b. Install reflectorized stop signs at all exits, a handicap-parking sign for each handicap- parking space and an address on the building. Construct a trash dumpster enclosure for any outside trash containers. The enclosures must be 100 percent opaque, match the color of the buildings and have a closeable gate that extends to the ground. If the trash container is not visible to the public it does not have to be screened. Install site-security lighting as required by the code. The light source, including the lens covering the bulb, shall be concealed so the light source in not visible and so it does not cause any nuisance to drivers or neighbors. 4. If any required work is not done, the city may allow temporary occupancy if the city determines that the work is not essential to the public health, safety or welfare. 5. All work shall follow the approved plans. The director of community development may approve minor changes.

McGuire, City Manager Michael A. Ericson, Assistant to the City Manag Approval of Resolution of Support for Bruentrup Farm Relocation May 21, 1999 Project INTRODUCTION At its February 8, 1999 meeting, the Maplewood City Council unanimously approved and supported the Maplewood Historical Society's motion of support to preserve the Bruentrup Farm to the city's Open Space Land on County Road D and relocate the farmhouse, barn, granary, windmill, and any other buildings which funding will permit. Council directed city staff to assist the Society and its legislative efforts with area legislators to seek funding from the Minnesota State Legislature to fund the cost of relocating the buildings. BACKGROUND A bill was introduced early in the legislative session by Senator Chuck Wiger and Representative Betty McCollum for $300,000 to fund the cost of acquiring land, site preparation costs, moving the Bruentrup Farm, and renovation of the buildings. A matching grant with the State of Minnesota in a 75% - state / 25% - city was proposed by the legislators. The bill moved through the legislative process and testimony was provided in both the house and senate committees by Society members and city officials. The amount was eventually reduced to $100,000 in a 50/50 match and the bill was forwarded to a conference committee for final action. Monitoring of the bill and attendance at committee meetings has been on-going for four months until Friday, May 14, 1999 when the Jobs and Economic Development Conference Committee approved the Omnibus Bill which included a $100,000 grant to the city. The city's equal matching share at present is a $100,000 cash donation from Bill and Raydelle Bruentrup. In addition, the city would be donating 2.02 acres of land for the project which would be valued at more than $117,000 according to the appraisal of the Mack Nettleton property which was 1.97 acres. Them are many factors which will need to be finalized with the project but the primary goal is to move the buildings offthe site by June 30, 1999 when the developer takes possession of the property. The estimated cost to move the three buildings and the windmill is $82,000. The estimated cost for footings, foundations, and basements is $46,435. An estimate for new wood roofs for the three buildings is $40,000. An estimate for a well, septic system, and Class 5 driveway is $30,000. Agenda Report May 21, 1999 Page 2 There are still architect and engineering fees estimated at $15,000. This yields a total estimated project cost of $213, 435for the essential requirements to relocate the buildings to the Open Space property. The difference between these costs and the $200,000 in funds would have to be made up in a combination of non-profit and foundation grants, donations, private contributions, and other funding sources. As a final obligation of the conference committee and to comply with the statutory intent of the bill, the city council must approve a resolution of support for the project. RECOMMENDATION The city council should approve the attached resolution of support for the Bruentrup Farm Relocation Project and direct staff to work with the Maplewood Historical Society to relocate the farmhouse, barn, granary, and the windmill to the Open Space property on County Road D. The council should also authorize staff to prepare specifications and bid the project. 8 RESOLUTION NO. 99-05-039 RESOLUTION SUPPORTING RELOCATION OF BRUENTRUP FARM WHEREAS, the Minnesota State Legislature has approved and awarded a $100,000 grant to the City of Maplewood to help fund the cost of relocating the Bruentrup Farm; and WHEREAS, the Bruentrup Farm will become the home of the Maplewood Historical Society which will have a 99-year lease with city for $1 a year with all operation and maintenance costs the responsibility of the Society; and WHEREAS, the state required that an equal amount in cash or in-kind non-state sources be made of which the Bruentrups have agreed to donate $100,000 in cash to the project for this match, in addition to the donation of the farm buildings and equipment; and WHEREAS, the city has agreed to donate the land, engineering, and administration costs; and WHEREAS, the renovation and restoration of the farm buildings will be completed in an in-kind work agreement with the Minnesota Building Trades Council; and WHEREAS, the remainder of the costs will be paid for by non-profit and foundation grants, donations, private contributions and other contributions; and WHEREAS, the city reserves the right to use the Bruentrup Farm as a Nature Center or for programming activities within the Parks and Recreation Department; and WHEREAS, the Maplewood City Council officially approves the relocation route of the Bruentrup Farm along Lydia Avenue to Ariel Street to County Road D. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Maplewood City Council officially approves the Bruentrup Farm Relocation Project and grants permission to move and relocate the farmhouse, barn, granary, windmill and the remaining three buildings, if funding is secured before the move date, to the city's Open Space Land on County Road D.

MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: SUBJECT: LOCATION: DATE: City Manager Tom Ekstrand, Associate Planner Design Review-Mini Golf Course Goodrich Golf Dome Site, 1815 Van Dyke Street May 27, 1999 INTRODUCTION Fred Paul, the owner/operator of the Goodrich Golf Dome, is requesting approval of an 18-hole mini golf course in back of the golf dome at White Bear Avenue and Ripley Avenue. Mr. Paul is proposing to landscape this course with shrubs, stone work, native wild grasses and flower beds. He would not remove any of the existing trees. It would be enclosed by an eight-foot-tall chain link fence. The course would have lights mounted on some of the fence posts for night golfing.

The miniature golf area will be a continuous landscaping project. As you can see by the landscape print, the area will either have a "green" or it will contain landscape rock, bushes, shrubs, trees or; native wild grass or flowers. The plantings areas will have both annuals as well as evergreens. The "greens" will be of the new sandfilled carpet type being used on conventional courses for both tee box areas as well as putting greens. This type of carpet construction is laid on a clay and sand base, which allows play almost immediately after a rainstorm. Since this will be an area used in the summer only, there is no need for a great deal of lighting. Our hours of operation will mirror the standard hours of the dome; we will close by 10: PM. We are thinking of putting a few lights on fence post extensions to give us some light between the hours of 8:30 and 10:00 PM. I am sorry that I didn't get this to you sooner but if you have any other questions please phone me. This best way to get in touch is through my cell phone: 612-309-5393. Thank you for your help. ,/ ti,/, Fred R. Paul 1815 VanDyke Avenue, Maplewood MN 55109 651-777-0500 651-773-3881 (fax) 6 Parks and Recreation Department Gregory A. Mack, Director 2015 N.

Under a 1996 license agreement, Ramsey County granted Midwest Golf Domes, LLC, the right to build a mini- putt golf facility on property owned by the County, adjacent to the Goodrich Golf Dome. Pursuant to Article I.L. of the license agreement, "The design plans of the mini-putt must be approved by the County, which approval will not be unreasonably denied, prior to Midwest Golf Domes, LLC, seeking local approval or building permits." I understand that the City of Maplewood's Community Design Review Board will review the proposed design plan on June 8, 1999. Ramsey County appreciates the Community Design Review Board taking up this request and looks forward to receiving a copy of its findings. The recommendations of the Community Design Review Board will be given full consideration and provide critical guidance for the County in its consideration of the final design plans. A representative of the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department will be attending the Community Design Review Board meeting to hear the input and recommendations from the Board. Thank you for the City's review of this proposal. Please be assured that Ramsey County is interested in cooperating with the City to assure that any future development on this site is a positive addition to the community.
