City ordinance requires conditional use permits to be reviewed by the council within one year of
initial approval unless such review is waived by council decision. At the one-year review, the council
may specify an indefinite or specific term for subsequent reviews, not to exceed five years.
Background:
Timeline/Previous Actions
January 10, 2022: The City Council reviewed the proposal and approved the conditional use permit
for a building to be constructed within 350 feet of residentially zoned property.
Council Packet Page Number 25 of 92
G2
February 27, 2023: The City Council reviewed the conditional use permit and moved to review the
permit again in one year.
Conclusion:
Since the CUP was last reviewed,site construction has been completed. Our building division
finalized the permits, and a certificate of occupancy has been issued. Last summer, staff inspected
the site and confirmed that all required landscaping plantings had been installed. However, the city
has retained a portion of the escrow to ensure plantings are established in the following growing
season. The property is in good standing with the city, and staff recommends approving the CUP
review and reviewing it again only if a problem arises or a significant change is proposed.

Conclusion:
Since the CUP was last reviewed, the renovation of the existing building is complete. Our building
division finalized the permits, and a certificate of occupancy has been issued. The property's trash
dumpster has been placed near Gervais Court in front of the building and still needs to be moved
behind the building and within a trash enclosure. Lastly, landscaping improvements were part of the
exterior parking lot renovation, where the city still retains an escrow for tree plantings. Staff
recommends reviewing this CUP again in one year to ensure the landscaping is established and the
trash enclosure has been installed.

discontinue the annual review unless a problem arises or a significant change is proposed on the
property.
March 13, 2023: The city council reviewed and approved a proposal by the new owner, InTech,
Inc., to amend the conditional use permit, allowing for a building addition to be constructed within
the required front yard setback.
Conclusion:
Since the CUP was last reviewed, the building addition has been completed. Our building division
finalized the permits, and a certificate of occupancy has been issued. Staff inspected the site and
found a trash dumpster in front of the building on the driveway; the dumpster must be screened
within an enclosure. The owner must construct a trash enclosure per city code requirements or
move the dumpster behind the screened fenced storage area. Overall, the site is in good standing
with the city, and staff recommends reviewing this CUP again in one year to confirm that the
property owner addresses the required screening.

retained a portion of the landscape escrow for an additional growing season to ensure landscaping
was well established.

Since the CUP was last reviewed, staff has conducted siteinspections. The remaining escrow the
city retained has been returned to the owner as all landscape plantings are established. The
property is in good standing with the city, and staff recommends approving the CUP review and
reviewing it again only if a problem arises or a significant change is proposed.

Background:
Timeline/Previous Actions
September 26, 2022: The city council reviewed the proposal and approved a conditional use permit
for public and private utilities. The facility has been located at the site since the 1950s and predated
the requirement for a CUP. The construction improvement to the gas plant triggered the
requirement for the site to obtain a CUP for a public and private utility location.

Conclusion:
Since the CUP was approved, minor changes to the project plans were reviewed and approved
through the city's 15-day minor construction project application process. The approval letter has
been included with this report to provide additional details on the overall project scope and minor
changes. The site-wide project includes stormwater improvements, replacement and addition of
propane loading facilities, new electrical, mechanical, and fire suppression systems, and a new
retaining wall along the south and north sides of the storage tanks. The project has yet to
commence, but Xcel plans to start construction later this year. Staff recommends reviewing the
CUP again in one year to check in on the project’s progress.

AGENDA ITEM: Bituminous Material Purchases for 2024 Season
Action Requested:MotionDiscussionPublic Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution OrdinanceContract/Agreement Proclamation
Policy Issue:
City Council will consider authorizing the purchase of bituminous materials for the 2024
maintenance season.
Recommended Action:
Motion to authorize the Street Superintendent to purchase bituminous materials in an amount up to
$85,000 for the 2024 street maintenance season.
Fiscal Impact:
Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $85,000.00

Maplewood streets are a vital part of the City’s infrastructure and the condition of these streets have
a direct impact on quality of life for residents and businesses. City staff utilize the bituminous
materials for pothole, curb, and shoulder repairs.
Background:
An allocation is made in the Public Works operating budget each year for the purchase of
bituminous materials in order to maintain roads through patching, spot paving, shouldering and
bituminous curb repairs. It is anticipated that the cost for the bituminous purchases will be $85,000
for the 2024 maintenance season.
Council Packet Page Number 91 of 92

The proposedsupplier of the bituminous materials is T.A. Schifsky and Sons due to their nearby
location in North St. Paul and their competitive pricing. Staff has been informed that T.A Schifsky’s
and Sons may be closing their bituminous plant business and marketing their property for sale
sometime this spring. This closure would have an impact on where bituminous material is
purchased from in 2024. In the past, one of the big reasons we have typically used T.A. Schifsky’s
and Sons was their close proximity to our city. This allowed for quick and effective pavement
repairs. The second closest asphalt plant is owned by the City of St. Paul, requiring an
approximate 60-minute round trip. The extra travel time per load will have an impact on the
efficiency of the City’s bituminous maintenance operations.
There are additional options for purchasing of bituminous materials. These options include
locations such as Minnesota Paving and Materials in Lakeland MN, Martin Marietta in St Paul MN,
and Bituminous Roadways Columbus, MN. If T.A. Schifsky’s plant is shut down, staff will evaluate
the available options to determine where the best location for purchasing bituminous will be based
on travel time and cost of material.
