Meeting Date October 17, 2023
REPORT TO: Melinda Coleman, City Manager
REPORT FROM: Elizabeth Hammond, Planner
PRESENTER: Elizabeth Hammond, Planner
AGENDA ITEM: Design Review and Parking Waiver Resolution, Bakery Addition, 1745 Beam Avenue East
Action Requested: Motion ☐Discussion ☐ Public Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution ☐ Ordinance ☐Contract/Agreement ☐ Proclamation
Policy Issue:
Duan Corporation, on behalf of Million’s Crab Restaurant, proposes constructing a building addition
at 1745 Beam Avenue East. The proposed 3,508-square-foot addition would be the future location
of ‘TOUS les JOURS,’ a French bakery. The addition would be attached to the existing restaurant
building but operate as a separate second business on the site. To proceed with this project, the
applicant requests approval of a design review and a parking waiver.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve a resolution for design review and parking waiver approving a building addition to
be constructed at 1745 Beam Avenue East, 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 August 29, 2023. The initial 60-day review
deadline for a decision is October 28, 2023. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city can
take an additional 60 days, if necessary, to complete the review and make a decision. The regularly
scheduled Community Design Review Board meeting was canceled on September 19, 2023, due to
a lack of a quorum of members able to attend the meeting. The city extended the application review
an additional 60 days. The review deadline for a decision is December 27, 2023.
Background:
Duan Corporation, on behalf of Million’s Crab Restaurant, proposes to construct an addition on the
east side of the existing restaurant building, adding a French-Asian bakery café to their site called
E1
CDRB Packet Page Number 5 of 26
‘TOUS les JOURS.’ The 3,508-square-foot building addition, while attached to the existing building,
would have a separate entrance. The bakery will include a display, service counter, dining room,
kitchen, and restrooms. The applicant has submitted design plans for review and requests a parking
waiver.
The site is in the city’s NE, north-end zoning district. The north-end zoning district standards apply
to new development, redevelopment, and building expansions greater than 50 percent of the floor
area of an existing building. This project does not exceed 50 percent of the current restaurant’s floor
area, so it must meet the general development standards in sections 44-17 to 44-20. These
requirements applied to the previous zoning designation for the site and are still applied to projects
not located in the NE district.
Design Review
Site Plan
Overall, the site access remains the same, and the building will continue to be accessed primarily
off Beam Avenue and secondarily off Southlawn Drive. The proposed addition is situated in the
middle of the site and connects to the east wall of the existing restaurant building. The building is
required to be 30 feet from a street right-of-way. The site plan shows the addition to be setback 107
feet from the east line and setback 105 from the south line. The parking lot is required to be 15 feet
from the street right-of-way and 5 feet from all other property lines. Some parking stalls will be
eliminated to make space for the building addition. However, the parking lot is not expanding into
the setbacks, and all setback requirements are achieved.
Building Elevations
The proposed building is one story, between 19-20 feet in height. The primary materials combine
two exterior insulation finish systems (EIFS) in light gray and blue colors and fiber cement board
siding in a dark gray color. Thin face brick defines the entrance, and prefinished copper metal
bands are shown as accent materials, along with red steel doors and a red steel door frame at the
main entrance. The proposed materials, textures, and colors are attractive and appear to
complement the existing building and overall site design.
Landscaping and Screening
There are four existing trees on-site that will be preserved. Additional trees are not proposed. There
are trees and shrubs on the site that are overgrown and will need to be trimmed and maintained as
part of this project. Given the large parking area surrounding the site, staff recommended additional
perennial plantings for the site and that the applicant consider additional trees where appropriate—
specifically considering areas within the existing rock, grass, and mulched beds along the north,
east, and west property lines.
The landscape plan identifies (15) perennial shrubs, a combination of chokeberry and spirea
shrubs, (44) perennial grasses, a combination of feather reed grass, Schottland hair grass, and
prairie dropseed grasses, and (27) perennial flowering plants, including a combination of coneflower
echinacea and daylily flowers.
Trash Enclosure
The existing trash enclosure appears to have been repurposed for storage related to the restaurant.
All trash and recycling must be screened inside an enclosure. Currently, the trash dumpsters are
E1
CDRB Packet Page Number 6 of 26
located outside of the building and are not screened. The applicant has identified a location for the
trash enclosure on the north end of the site, but elevation perspectives were not included. Staff
recommends that the applicant submit elevations of each side of the enclosure detailing the
materials, colors, and opaqueness. The trash enclosure plan must be submitted to staff for approval
before issuing a building permit.
Lighting
The applicant submitted a photometric site plan as part of its application. The site plan meets the
code requirements for permitted light spread and foot-candle levels. However, each luminaire's
architectural plan and description, including the manufacturer’s catalog cuts and drawings, were not
included. The applicant must submit these documents to staff for approval before issuing a building
permit.
Parking Waiver
Parking spaces must be ten feet wide and 18 feet long, and the drive aisle must be 24 feet wide –
the applicant’s site plans meet these dimensional requirements. As previously mentioned, the site is
located in the north-end zoning district. Still, given the size of the addition, it does not require the
development to meet the new design standards, which notably require significantly less parking.
The previous zoning designation required one parking stall for every 50 square feet of space for
patron use. In this case, with the addition, the site will have 7,389 square feet of space devoted to
patron use.
Based on the parking requirement, the site must provide 148 parking stalls. The site currently has
98 parking stalls, and the applicant proposes to remove 29 stalls, resulting in 69 parking stalls for
the site, which requires the approval of a parking waiver. The applicant requests a waiver for (79)
stalls from the city council.
For comparison, the current north-end zoning designation would only require a minimum of 11
parking stalls and a maximum of 53 parking stalls for both the restaurant and bakery. The current
north-end standards also limit a site's overall percentage of surface parking – up to 20% of the
overall development site.
The applicant believes the parking will be sufficient for the existing restaurant and the bakery
addition. There has not been an issue with parking on the site, and the building’s location is in an
area where the city has large amounts of unused parking. Given the intent of the north-end zoning
district to create more walkability and connectivity in this district and limit the amount of surface
parking, staff is not concerned with the amount of parking provided on-site and supports the request
for the parking waiver.
Department Comments
Building Official – Randy Johnson
The proposed building is required to meet the minimum requirements of the Minnesota State

Project Narratives
August 14, 2023
Bakery Addition, 1745 Beam Avenue, Maplewood, MN
The proposed project is to add a new addition to an existing restaurant at 1745 Beam Avenue in
Maplewood, Minnesota. The existing restaurant is a 7,100 square-foot sea food restaurant. The
new addition is about 3,500 square feet. It will be a bakery. It will be built on the east side of the
existing building where is currently a parking lot. It would provide a contemporary exterior design
that complements the existing building on the west side. The addition will include vestibule,
bakery display, service counter, dining room, kitchen, and restrooms. The site planning will
address traffic flow, parking, landscaping and drainage in addition to compliance with City’s
requirements for accommodating a future internal road.
The following information describes architectural and engineering concepts for the bakery
building and site improvements.
Exterior The exterior materials of the existing building are EIFS with face brick at the main
entrance and on other facades as the accent. The new building will use face
brick at the main entrance like the existing building. EIFS at the new addition will
pick up the base color and texture of the existing building. Cementitious
architectural panels will be applied to the new exterior walls to enhance the
façade.
Roof Fully adhered EPDM roofing. The existing building has about 4’ high parapet to
screen the roof top units. The new addition will use 4’-high parapet for screening
roof top units.
Structural Estephan engineering will design the structural system using wood framing.
Floor 4” Concrete slab on grade
HVAC EEA will provide mechanical design for the HVAC system for the restaurant and
exhaust system for the kitchen.
Sprinkler The existing building is fully sprinklered. The new addition will be fully sprinklered
as well.
Plumbing EEA will provide plumbing design for all kitchen equipment and roof drains. Civil
engineer will provide storm water drawings.

Parking Waiver Narrative
Project: Million’s Crab Addition
Address: 1745 Beam Ave, Maplewood MN 55109
Proposed parking stalls: 69
Required parking stalls: 148
We are requesting a parking waiver of 79 stalls to cover the deficit of provided parking stalls for
this project. This project involves a building addition to an existing restaurant. This project falls under the
old parking requirements since the addition’s square footage is less than 50% of the current building’s
square footage.
The plan for this section of the city is to move towards a more walkable area. The new rules
would require 11(min) to 53(max) parking spaces based on business square footage. Granting a waiver to
this project would help move towards the city’s vision for the north end area. Additionally, we are
pursuing a parking agreement with the neighboring property to the west for any potential overflow
parking.

City’s stormwater management requirements.
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.
Grading and Erosion Control
1)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 and parking lots that could potentially receive construction related sediment or
debris.
2)Adjacent streets and parking areas shall be swept as needed to keep the pavement
clear of sediment and construction debris.
3)All pedestrian facilities shall be ADA compliant.
4)The total grading volume (cut/fill) shall be noted on the plans.
Sanitary Sewer and Water Service
5)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.
