The work on the building’s south side will alter the curb line and add impervious surface, but will still comply with setback requirements in relation to the wetland south of the site. Kline Nissan needs city approval of a conditional use permit amendment and design review to proceed with the project. Recommended Action: Motion to approve a resolution for design review approving two building additions to be constructed at 3090 Maplewood Drive North. 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 June 1, 2023. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is July 31, 2023. 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: Conditional Use Permit Amendment Article II, Section 44-637 of the city code requires a conditional use permit to construct and operate a motor vehicle maintenance garage in a light manufacturing (M-1) district. In 2002, the city council approved a CUP allowing a motor vehicle maintenance garage. The proposed building additions for CDRB Packet Page Number 9 of 88 E1 the service and parts departments of the dealership will be built over existing hard surface and will blend in well with the existing building. There are no residential areas nearby that are directly affected by any noise generated by the dealership. The south side addition will require an expansion of the parking lot, bringing the curb line closer to the wetland to the south of the site. A variance was approved in 2002 to allow the Kline Nissan development to come within 50 feet of the wetland on the north and 25 feet on the south. The applicant’s proposed site plan meets the wetland setback requirements, and the project must continue to comply with the variance’s 2002 conditions. Design Review Building Elevations The building additions are oriented towards the rear and will be constructed with rock-faced CMU blocks and painted to match the existing building. No changes are proposed to the front elevation of the building, which was constructed with better architectural finishes. No changes are proposed to the site’s photometric and landscaping plans.

There is a Manage A wetland adjacent the site. City code requires a 100-foot wetland buffer adjacent a Manage A wetland. In 2002, the City approved a wetland buffer variance to allow the Kline Nissan development to come to within 50 feet of the wetland on the north side and within 25 feet of the wetland on the south side. The development must comply with the wetland buffer variance conditions approved by the City in 2002. Wetland Requirements 1.Wetland Ordinance: The City’s wetland ordinance requires buffers around wetlands based on their classifications. No mowing, grading, or building is allowed within the buffer. 2.Required Wetland Buffers: City code requires a 100-foot buffer around a Manage A wetland. In 2002 the City approved a 50- to 75-foot wetland buffer variance allowing the Kline Nissan development to encroach within 50 feet of the wetland on the north side and 25 feet of the wetland on the south side of the property. Following are the conditions of approval of the 2002 wetland buffer variance: a.Dedicating a 50-foot wetland protection buffer easement along the northeast lot line and a 25-foot wetland protection buffer easement along the remaining wetland edge. This easement shall be prepared by a land surveyor, shall describe the boundary of the buffer and shall prohibit any building, mowing, cutting, filling or dumping within the buffer. The applicant shall record this easement before the city will issue a building permit. b.Submitting a revised grading plan showing compliance with the required wetland dedications. The grading plan shall include grading to within 10 feet of the wetland edge on the side where the 50-foot buffer is required, with restoration of the remaining 40 feet of wetland buffer consisting of native plantings to be approved by staff and the watershed district. E1, Attachment 11 CDRB Packet Page Number 26 of 88 c.Submitting a revised landscape plan for the restoration of 40 feet of the wetland- protection buffer on the northeast side of the site and for the 25-foot buffer in the other wetland buffer areas. This plan shall be subject to staff and watershed district approval. Underground irrigation is required for all landscaped areas, excluding the wetland protection buffer. d.Installing signs at the edge of the wetland-protection buffer which prohibit any building, mowing, cutting, filling or dumping within the buffer. e.Submitting a signed maintenance agreement to the Ramsey/Washington Metro Watershed District and the city for maintenance of the subsurface storm water infiltration system that accepts responsibility for any necessary maintenance and upkeep of the system. 3.New Wetland Buffer Impacts: The applicant proposes to remove portions of the parking lot and curb and add impervious surface on the south side of the property. It is unclear if the additional impervious surface will encroach further into the green space. 4.Wetland Buffer Recommendations: a.Prior to issuance of a grading or building permit, the applicant must complete the following: 1) Revised grading and drainage and site plans: The grading plan shows the removal of the pavement and curb on the south side of the property, but does not show how the pavement and curb will be reconstructed in that area. The site plan shows an expansion of the parking spaces, but does not show how close the expansion will come to the wetland edge. The applicant must submit a revised grading and drainage and site plans that detail how close the grading and new curb and parking area will encroach to the edge of the wetland on the south side of the property. 2)Landscape plan: The applicant must submit a landscape plan showing plantings in all green spaces that have been impacted by the modified parking area. The plantings must comply with the City’s landscape policies that will ensure nonnative and invasive species are avoided, seed mix is appropriate for use in areas proposed, and plantings are climate resilient. 3)Wetland buffer sign plan: The 2002 wetland buffer variance required that the applicant install wetland buffer signs depicting no building, mowing, cutting, filling or dumping within the buffer. Some of the existing signs are missing. The applicant must submit a wetland buffer sign plan showing the existing and proposed wetland buffer signs to be installed along the approved wetland buffer on the north, east, and south side of the property. Signs must be a minimum of 100 feet apart. 4)Install the wetland buffer signs. 5)Submit a cash escrow or letter of credit to cover 150 percent of the required landscaping.

The 16-bed medical observation unit would provide immediate patient care capacity due to increased patient volumes. To proceed with this project, the applicant requests approval for a conditional use permit amendment and design review. Recommended Action: Motion to approve a resolution for design review, approving a 7,000 square foot addition to the existing St. John’s Hospital campus to be constructed at 1575 Beam Avenue, subject to conditions of approval. 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 June 7, 2023. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is August 6, 2023. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city can take an additional 60 days, if necessary, to complete the review. Background: The applicant proposes a 7,000 square foot addition to the existing St. John’s Hospital campus. The project aims to provide immediate patient care capacity due to increased patient volumes. The proposed medical observation unit will have 16 new private patient care spaces and patient and staff support spaces. E2 CDRB Packet Page Number 28 of 88 Conditional Use Permit Amendment/Previous Actions The property has an existing Conditional Use Permit, and any expansion or changes on the site requires an amendment. May 20, 1982: Approved the original CUP. May 12, 1997: Approved a 25-foot front setback variance for the parking ramp. Approved a 10-foot parking lot setback variance from Hazelwood Street Approved a CUP revision. Approved site and building design plans. November 10, 1997: Approved the proposal for the stand-alone medical building north of the hospital. November 23, 1998: Vacated the former St. John’s Boulevard right-of-way that was not in the location of the eventual road placement. September 22, 2008: Approved CUP amendment and vacations related to an expansion project. January 25, 2021: Approved a 21,000 sq. ft. vertical building expansion at Saint John’s Hospital. Design Review Site Plan The proposed project would not change the existing site access. The new building addition would be accessed from the current parking lot to the east and the adjacent southwest building. The single-level addition is not directly attached to the adjoining building foundation but will have an enclosed at-grade connection. Building Elevations and Screening The proposal includes high-quality and attractive building materials to complement the existing buildings and the overall site. The materials include cedar architectural wall panels with staggered seams in vintage wood espresso color and black aluminum framed insulated window frames with insulated glazing. The building is one level and 12.8 feet in height. A 365-square-foot mechanical system yard is on the south side of the addition. This area is screened with a 10-foot fence with cedar wood slats fastened to steel posts. The horizontal slats are wood, stained to match the building, and installed on alternating sides of the posts to provide airflow to the mechanical equipment. The slats are aligned so there aren’t visible openings, and the screening is effectively 100% opaque. Parking The hospital campus has 1,252 parking spaces and is required to maintain the parking onsite as a condition of the CUP in place currently. Parking capacity on the property will remain the same for this project. Given how this proposed building is intended to be used, staff does not expect a significant increase in parking demand to be generated due to this project or a need to require additional stalls. E2 CDRB Packet Page Number 29 of 88 Landscaping and Tree Plans Tree removal and replacement, and landscaping are proposed with the project. Before a grading or building permit can be issued, the plans must be updated to achieve the requirements of the tree replacement ordinance – planting additional trees or paying into the city’s tree fund. The applicant must incorporate the landscape recommendations outlined in the attached environmental report and work with the City’s Natural Resources Coordinator to ensure that the species planted are native where possible and climate-resilient. Lighting The applicant submitted a photometric plan as part of its application showing that code requirements are achieved.

The new unit will have an enclosed building connector adjacent to the existing patient tower with a connection at grade. The until will have 16 new private patient care spaces, along with all required patient and staff support spaces. The goal of the project is to provide immediate patient care capacity due to increased patient volumes. The building will be located northeast of the existing patient tower, southeast of the existing 1600 Medical Building (1600 St. John’s Blvd.), and west of a large surface parking lot. The building will be a single level with two egress doors that will allow occupants to exit the building at grade. The building will be constructed using modular construction techniques, in which large sections will be constructed off-site, then placed via crane onto the prepared concrete foundations. To allow plumbing, electrical, and communications connections, there will be a 4-ft tall crawl space beneath the floor. Two area wells will provide venting to the crawl space through louvers. There will be an exterior mechanical yard at the south end of the building to enclose pad mounted air handling and mechanical equipment, approximately 10’ x 36’ in size. Screening will be provided around the three exposed sides of the mechanical yard using wood boards and align with the height of the building. There will not be roof-mounted mechanical equipment. Site impacts will include utility relocations, sanitary and storm sewer utility installations, tree removals and replacements, a new retaining wall at the west edge of the existing parking lot, and the removal of some sidewalks that serve as building egress paths that will be reconstructed around the proposed building. There will also be a new emergency electrical generator and electrical transformer that will serve the building, which will be located north of the proposed building, near St. John’s Blvd. All site work shown on the site drawings west of the proposed building is due to utility installations and associated reconstruction of surface features (sidewalks, curb & gutter, bituminous pavement, landscaping etc.). Parking capacity on the property will not be impacted, as no parking spaces will be removed, and no new parking is being proposed as part of this project. Please contact HGA with any questions.

Impacts for the addition will expand over two of the legal parcels on the campus. Tree removal and replacement is proposed with the addition. 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: a. Parcel 1: The tree plan identifies 2,505 caliper inches of significant trees on Parcel 1. The applicants propose to remove 21 significant trees, equaling 245.5 caliper inches. This is less than 20 percent of the overall significant trees on this parcel. E2, Attachment 11 CDRB Packet Page Number 47 of 88 b. Parcel 2: The tree plan identifies 103 caliper inches of significant trees on Parcel 2. The applicants propose to remove three significant trees, equaling 26 caliper inches. This is greater than 20 percent of the overall significant trees on this parcel. 3. Tree Replacement Requirements: a. Parcel 1: If less than 20 percent of the significant trees are removed, the City’s tree preservation ordinance requires the applicant replace one 2-caliper inch tree for each significant tree removed. In this case, 21 new trees are required. b. Parcel 2: If greater than 20 percent of the significant trees are removed, the City’s tree preservation ordinance requires the applicant replace trees based on the tree calculation. The tree calculation reviews the overall number of trees on the parcel versus the number removed. In this case, 1.86 caliper inches are required (1 – 2 caliper inch tree). 3. Tree Replacement: The landscape plan shows 11 new trees, equaling 22 caliper inches. This is 11 trees less than required by the City’s tree preservation ordinance. 4. Tree Recommendations: a. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant must submit the following: 1) Landscape Plan and/or Tree Fund Payment: Revised landscape plan showing the addition of 11 2-caliper inch trees. The applicant should attempt to plant as many replacement trees on one of the two parcels as possible. If not all required replacement trees can be planted on one of the two parcels, the applicant can pay into the City’s tree fund at a rate of $60 per caliper inch. 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 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.

Gladstone Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan The Gladstone Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan outlines nine guiding principles for redevelopment in the area as follows: 1.Design the future of Gladstone as a village. 2.Transform regional trails into celebrated village corridors. 3.Make Gladstone a compelling quality-of-life choice. 4.Weave natural systems and ecological functions into the built and recreational environment. 5.Allow Gladstone’s future to whisper the story of its past. 6.Make walkability the standard. 7.Think of Gladstone as a neighborhood for all stages of life. 8.Make the Gladstone redevelopment plan a model for others to follow. 9.Make multi-modal links between Gladstone and areas beyond. Design Review Site Plan The site would be accessed off Clarence Street from Frost Avenue on the west side of the site. The proposed building is situated on the site’s south side, extending along the east side to the north. There are outdoor amenity spaces on the interior and north end of the site, including a patio, gardening space, and a playground. The mixed-use district requires a front yard setback for multiple dwelling buildings to be no more than 20 feet, with a minimum of zero feet – this applies to both the Clarence Street and Frost Avenue frontages. There are no side or rear building setback requirements. Parking lots must be setback five feet from the side and rear property lines. All setback requirements are being met. The site is guided for mixed-use neighborhood high-density development, allowing 25-50 units per acre. The applicant is proposing (40) units, achieving land use density requirements. The site can have up to (61) units. Building Elevations Exterior building walls adjacent to or visible from a public right-of-way or public open space may be at most 40 feet in length. New buildings with walls over 40 feet in length are allowed if the wall is divided into smaller increments, between 20 and 40 feet in width, through the articulation of the façade. Exterior-building materials shall be classified as primary, secondary, or accent material. Primary materials shall cover at least 60 percent of all façades of a building. Secondary materials E3 CDRB Packet Page Number 50 of 88 may cover no more than 30 percent of all façades of a building. Accent materials may include door and window frames, lintels, cornices, and other minor elements and may cover no more than ten percent of all façades of a building. The community design review board may consider exceptions to the above-mentioned design standards if they uphold the integrity of the guidelines and result in an attractive, cohesive development design as intended by ordinance. The building is three stories and 35 feet in height, achieving height standards. The primary material for the proposed building is brick. The secondary material is fiber cement siding, which will be utilized horizontally and vertically in three different colors and textures, with prefinished metal window trim shown as an accent material. The proposed materials are attractive and appear to achieve the percentage as outlined. However, the elevations do not include the percentages for each primary, secondary, and accent material. The applicant must submit updated elevations illustrating the percentages for each material before obtaining a building permit. The building length exceeds 40 feet but is shown to be articulated in shorter segments on the north, east, and west sides. Staff is comfortable with the proposals that are slightly longer than 40 feet, along the north and west sides of the building, with the most extended exception being between 45 –54 feet. Staff recommends that the applicant update the plan to shorten and articulate the façade along the east side of the building, specifically, the section that is 74 feet in length. If the board agrees with this recommendation, the applicant must submit an updated colored site perspective of the elevation illustrating the proposed articulation and shorter wall lengths. Unit Sizes The ordinance requires minimum unit sizes of 740 square feet for two-bedroom units, 860 square feet for three-bedroom units, and 1,040 square feet for four-bedroom units. All dwelling units in this project meet these requirements. Parking Waiver The proposed parking includes a below-grade parking garage with (54) enclosed stalls, and (six) guest surface parking stalls are provided on the west side of the building, near the entrance to the building, for a total of (60) stalls on site. Parking spaces must be nine feet wide and 18 feet long, and the drive aisle must be 24 feet in width – the applicant’s site plans meet these requirements. The project is required to provide 80 parking spaces (two parking spaces for each unit – with one of those parking spaces being covered). The enclosed parking requirement is achieved. The applicant proposes to have a total of (60) stalls on site – which requires the approval of a parking waiver of (20)stalls from the city council. The applicant believes the parking will be sufficient for the number of units, the targeted resident population, and the building’s location. However, the applicant is working to execute a shared parking agreement with the Philippine Center across the street to provide additional 21 parking spaces. Landscaping and Screening E3 CDRB Packet Page Number 51 of 88 All areas of land not occupied by buildings, parking, driveways, sidewalks, or other hard surface are required to be sodded or mulched and landscaped with approved ground cover, flowers, shrubbery, and trees. Hard-surfaced areas, including sidewalks and patios, must include amenities such as benches, planters, and bike racks. The proposal states that bicycle parking will be provided within the enclosed garage. Staff recommends incorporating additional bicycle parking on the site near the building entrance or the patios and playground spaces. This should be added to the site plan before obtaining a building permit. Perimeter landscape or pedestrian walls are required for all parking lots and shall be established along the road and edges of the parking lot. The landscape treatment or pedestrian wall shall run the entire length of the parking lot and be located between the property line and the edge of t he parking lot. Staff recommends additional screening and landscaping along the west and north property line within the setback areas – specifically along the property line directly west of the playground and along the property line directly east of the community garden space. The screening can consist solely of landscaping or a combination of landscaping and fencing. The applicant must work with the environmental planner and natural resource coordinator to update the landscape plan according to their recommendations. The revised plan should be submitted to staff for approval before issuing a building permit. Lighting The applicant submitted a photometric plan as part of its application. The plan is mainly meeting the code requirements. Still, it shows the light intensity measurement exceeding 0.4 foot-candles in two locations along the west property line adjacent to Clarence Street near the guest parking stalls. Before any permits are issued, the applicant must submit a revised photometric plan showing all code requirements being met. If exterior lighting is proposed on the building’s north, south, or east sides, this information must be added to the plan. Trash Enclosure All trash and recycling will be maintained within the building. Trash and recycling chute access will be available on each building floor leading to a trash room on the first floor.

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. This review does not constitute a final review of the plans, as the applicant will need to submit construction documents 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 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 system and pretreatment devices. The Owner shall submit a signed copy of the joint storm-water maintenance agreement with the RWMWD to the City. 3)Geotechnical information (soil borings) shall be provided to support infiltration rates utilized in the infiltration system design. 4)An emergency overflow for the underground infiltration system shall be identified on the plans. This overflow shall be properly stabilized to prevent erosion during an overflow event. E3, Attachment 10 CDRB Packet Page Number 81 of 88 5)Pre-treatment of stormwater before discharge into infiltration system is required. A minimum 3-foot deep sump or similar pre-treatment shall be installed to provide pre- treatment and sediment removal upstream of the system. 6)While overall site runoff rates are less than existing, detail shall be provided to ensure that runoff rates are not being increased to residential properties to the northwest of the site along Clarence Street. Grading and Erosion Control 7)All slopes shall be 3H:1V or flatter. 8)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. 9)Adjacent streets and parking areas shall be swept as needed to keep the pavement clear of sediment and construction debris. 10)All pedestrian facilities shall be ADA compliant. 11)The total grading volume (cut/fill) shall be noted on the plans. 12)A copy of the project SWPPP and NDPES Permit shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a grading permit. 13)The retaining wall along the entrance to the underground will require a structurally engineered design and building permit. Sanitary Sewer and Water Service 14)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. 15)All modifications to the water system shall be reviewed by Saint Paul regional Water Services. All requirements of SPRWS shall be met. 16)All new sanitary sewer service piping shall be schedule 40 PVC or SDR35. E3, Attachment 10 CDRB Packet Page Number 82 of 88 Other 17)The proposed integrated monument planter bed shown on the site plan shall be placed such that it does not cause sight-distance issues at the Clarence Street and Frost Avenue intersection. In general, no object greater than 2.5 feet in height shall be placed within the sight triangle that is created by extending lines 25-feet each direction from the property corner. 18)A traffic impact statement shall be provided to ensure no negative impacts to the level of service of the surrounding streets and intersections will be created by the proposed development. 19)All work within the Clarence Street, Frost Avenue, or Ide Street right-of-way shall be restored per the City’s right-of-way ordinance. This will likely require larger street pavement patching than is shown in the plans. 20)The plans shall be signed by a civil engineer licensed in the state of Minnesota. 21)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. 22)Right-of-way permit 23)Grading and erosion control permit 24)Storm Sewer Permit 25)Sanitary Sewer Permit -END COMMENTS - E3, Attachment 10 CDRB Packet Page Number 83 of 88 Environmental Review Project: New 40 Unit Multifamily Building (Gladstone Crossing) Date of Plans: Tree Survey dated May 23, 2023 Existing Site and Removal and Landscape Plans with no date (plans submitted with application) Date of Review: June 12, 2023 Location: 1375 Frost Avenue Reviewers: Shann Finwall, Environmental Planner 651-249-2304, shann.finwall@maplewoodmn.gov Project Background: The applicant proposes to redevelop the Gladstone House site at 1375 Frost Avenue with a 40-unit multi-family apartment building. The applicant must comply with the Gladstone Area Redevelopment Plan, green building code, solid waste ordinance, tree preservation ordinance, and Maplewood landscape policies. Gladstone Area Redevelopment Plan The property is located within the Gladstone Area Redevelopment Neighborhood. The plan details guiding principles, implementation initiatives, and key factors for shaping redevelopment of the Gladstone Neighborhood. The vision statement for the neighborhood states: “The vision for Gladstone is to be an inspiring, vital and stable neighborhood always striving to protect and portray its history, its sense of open space and ecological presence, and its qualities as a great neighborhood to live, play and work in.” The plan outlines key factors to consider in shaping redevelopment in properties located on the east side of Vento Trail along Frost Avenue include: 1.Achieving a mix of commercial and residential uses with the predominant land use pattern consisting of higher density residential adjacent to Frost Avenue. 2.Incorporation of rainwater gardens, alternative pavement strategies, shared parking and other techniques to minimize surface water runoff and provide for treatment of runoff. 3.Incorporation of recycled building materials, roof top gardens, solar energy systems and other sustainable building techniques that contribute to the educational and interpretive vision of the Gladstone Savanna. 4.Flexibility to accommodate local neighborhood retail businesses that desire to stay in the neighborhood and do not conflict with a stronger residential presence. 5.Implementation efforts should explore ways that this project can provide financial resources to other parts of the master plan, particularly the improvement of Frost Avenue. 6.Development should orient toward the regional trails rather than back up to them. 7.Building heights should be greatest along Frost Avenue E3, Attachment 11 CDRB Packet Page Number 84 of 88 Gladstone Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan Recommendations: The applicant should submit plans detailing how the redevelopment meets with the environmental key factors outlined in the plan, including but not limited to, incorporation of recycled building materials, roof top gardens, solar energy systems and other sustainable building techniques that contribute to the educational and interpretive vision of the Gladstone Savanna. 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. Green Building Code Recommendation: If the Gladstone Crossing development is approved for the use of Tax Increment Financing, the redevelopment of the site 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. Solid Waste Recommendation: Prior to Certificate of Occupancy, the applicant must ensure recycling service is set up through the City’s recycling program. Tree Ordinance and Mixed Use Zoning Tree Planting Requirements 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 E3, Attachment 11 CDRB Packet Page Number 85 of 88 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.Mixed-Use Zoning Tree Planting Requirements: Over story trees are required at regular intervals along the road to help define the road edge, to buffer pedestrians from vehicles and to provide shade. The over story trees shall be located in a planting strip at least 5 feet wide between curb and sidewalk, or in a planting structure of design applicable to the City. 3.Tree Impacts: There are 11 significant trees on site equaling 200.5 caliper inches. It appears that the applicant proposes to remove 10 significant trees, equaling 174 caliper inches. This represents 87 percent tree removal. 4.City Code Tree Replacement Required: Based on the City’s tree replacement calculation, which looks the overall caliper inches of significant trees on the site versus the caliper inches of trees removed, City code requires 174 caliper inches of replacement trees on the site (which equals 87 – 2 caliper inch trees). 4.Proposed Tree Replacement: The landscape plan shows 12 new trees ranging in size from 2 to 2.5 caliper inches, totaling 28 caliper inches of replacement trees. Five of those trees will be planted along Frost Avenue. The overall caliper inches of replacement trees does not meet the City’s tree replacement requirements. 5.Tree Ordinance Recommendations: a.Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant must submit the following: 1)A revised tree survey that shows only significant trees as defined in the City’s tree preservation ordinance, and which of those trees will be removed with development. The tree survey submitted shows significant and some smaller nonsignificant trees. 2)A revised existing site and removal plan showing only significant trees with identifying tree tag numbers outlined in the revised tree survey, and which of those trees will be removed and which will be preserved. 3)A tree protection plan showing how all significant trees proposed to be preserved will be protected during development per the City’s tree standards. 4)A revised landscape plan showing: a)Updated tree removal and replacement requirements based on the revised plans as outlined above. The tree removal and requirements outlined in the plan do not match the tree survey and removal plans, or staff’s review of those plans. b)The addition of 174 caliper inches of replacement trees (or the new tree replacement calculation once revised plans are submitted per the above conditions) are planted on site. The addition of 174 caliper inches of replacement trees is not feasible on site, but one or two trees could be planted on the south side of the parking lot, adjacent Frost Avenue, to ensure the Mixed Use E3, Attachment 11 CDRB Packet Page Number 86 of 88 Zoning tree planting requirements are met. Once as many trees are planted on site as possible, the applicant could pay into the City’s tree fund at a rate of $60 per caliper inch of remaining trees required to be planted on site. 5)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. Urban Agriculture The applicants propose a small community garden on the north side of the building. Community gardens under one acre are allowed as a permitted use in any zoning district if it meets the following standards: 1.Maintain a five-foot setback to all property lines. 2.On-site sales shall be limited only to products grown on the site with the following requirements: a.Sales shall be limited to no more than 30 calendar days a year. b.Sales shall only take place between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. c.Sales shall not take place on the public sidewalk or boulevard. 3.Soil tests showing that lead levels are less than one hundred parts per million (100 ppm), or raised planting beds with soil barriers and clean, imported soil will be required. 4.Community garden accessory structures are allowed including greenhouses and hoop houses. A building permit is required for structures larger than 200 square feet in area. 5.Subject to minimum property maintenance standards as outlined in city ordinances. 6.Abide by noise regulations as outlined in city ordinances. 7.Be conducted in a manner that controls odor, dust, erosion, lighting, and noise and is in compliance with city standards so as not to create a nuisance. 8.Any tools, equipment, and material shall be stored and concealed within an enclosed, secure structure. Urban Agriculture – Community Garden Recommendations: Submit a detailed community garden plan showing the garden meets the City’s urban agriculture – community garden standards as outlined above. Landscape Policies 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 Recommendations: Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant must submit the following: Work with the City’s Natural Resources Coordinator to ensure no tree or plant species planted on the site are invasive, that species planted are native where possible and climate resilient.
