2024 Summary and Looking Ahead to 2025
In 2024, the CDRB met six times and reviewed ten items. This is a slight decrease overall from
previous years. Still, there were some exciting new construction projects to note.
On White Bear Avenue, Mister Car Wash completed construction on the north end, and a new
multi-tenant medical clinic is being built on the south. Over on Maplewood Drive, a long-standing

vacant parcel will soon be home to Hampton Companies' new office and warehouse building for the
construction company.
The expansive parking lot area at Birch Run Station was divided to create two new development
parcels within the existing parking lot. A new Starbucks coffee shop was approved for one of the
newly created parcels. The property owner plans to develop the other parcel with a multi-tenant
retail building or a drive-through restaurant.
JB Vang will develop Gladstone Village II, a 56-unit affordable multifamily apartment project at 1880
English Street North, immediately south of Gladstone Village I at 1310 Frost Avenue East, which
was approved in 2023. When completed, these projects will provide 121 new homes for existing or
new Maplewood residents.
Staff will work to coordinate training for the design board this year related to their role and
responsibilities. This will also incorporate a training session focused on how the Community Design
Review Board’s work fits the city's broader goals and policies.
Because Maplewood is approximately 95 percent developed and has limited remaining vacant sites
available, in-fill development, redevelopment, and expansion have become the norm for the City.
Due to redevelopment efforts made throughout Maplewood, the types of projects Maplewood will
likely see will be more complex and time-consuming.

2024 Summary and Looking Ahead to 2025
In 2024, the Planning Commission met seven times and reviewed 13 items: three variance
requests, seven conditional use permit requests, and two zoning text amendments. This is a slight
decrease from previous years. Still, it is worth noting that 2024 included some exciting new
construction projects, new businesses, expanding community-centered organizations, and a new
school.
On White Bear Avenue, Mister Car Wash completed construction on the north end, and a new
multi-tenant medical clinic is being built on the south. Over on Maplewood Drive, a long-standing
vacant parcel will soon be home to Hampton Companies' new office and warehouse building for the
construction company.
The expansive parking lot area at Birch Run Station was divided to create two new development
parcels within the existing parking lot. The design board approved a new Starbucks coffee shop for
one of the newly created parcels. The property owner plans to develop the other parcel with a multi-
tenant retail building or a drive-through restaurant. The commission will likely be involved in this
future development review.
JB Vang will develop Gladstone Village II, a 56-unit affordable multifamily apartment project at 1880
English Street North, immediately south of Gladstone Village I at 1310 Frost Avenue East, which
was approved in 2023. These projects will provide 121 new homes for existing or new Maplewood
residents when completed.
A new school, Sejong Academy, will operate within Gethsemane Church on Stillwater Road, and
Larkin Dance Studio off Cope Avenue and south of Highway 36 will be working to update its parking
lot, stormwater maintenance, and landscaping. The commission reviewed the City’s Capital
Improvement Plan for 2025-2029 and assisted in updating ordinances related to reasonable
accommodations and cannabis businesses in the city for efficient review of future proposals.
The Commission took special care in reviewing the requests in 2024 to ensure the spirit of the
City’s ordinances was still being applied while allowing property owners to expand and build
reasonably in Maplewood.
Staff will work to coordinate training for the planning commission this year related to their role and
responsibilities. This will also incorporate a training session focused on how the Planning
Commission’s work relates to the city's broader goals and policies.
Because Maplewood is approximately 95 percent developed and has limited remaining vacant sites

Background:
For the past decade, the City has utilized the Gallup Strengths Finder and its Q12 surveys to better
understand employee needs and help leaders assess operational effectiveness across
departments. In addition to the Q12 survey, the business service agreement supports evaluating
employeesÓ strengths to identify opportunities for future growth. Since former City Manager Melinda
Coleman introduced this approach, we have experienced a significant increase in employee
engagement and professional development. Today, our Human Resource Manager Nancy Steele
serves as a strengths coach, ensuring that, alongside the Q12 survey, our service agreement
continues the strengths-based tradition that City Manager Coleman established.

AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Supporting a Minnesota Department of Employment and
Economic Development Demolition Loan Application
Action Requested: MotionDiscussion Public Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution OrdinanceContract/Agreement Proclamation
Policy Issue:
City staff has applied to the Department of Employment and Economic Development for a
Demolition Loan to help facilitate the demolition of the former Moose Lodge at 1946 English Street.
The application requires a resolution of support from the City Council.
Recommended Action:
Motion to adopt the resolution supporting a Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic
Development Demolition Loan Application.
Fiscal Impact:
Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $300,000
Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source
Use of Reserves Other: City staff estimates that the cost of
demolition of the site would be up to $300,000. If awarded, the loan term would be up to 15 years
and payment would be required three years after award. Any portion of the loan that is not forgiven
by DEED could be repaid from the land sale proceeds of 1946 English Street.
Strategic Plan Relevance:
Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship
Integrated CommunicationOperational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment
Redevelopment of the property is consistent with the City's strategic plan and would assist in
initiating redevelopment in the Gladstone Neighborhood
Background:
The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) offers a loan
program for assistance with demolition and other redevelopment activities when either there is no
current development plan or future development visions are hindered by current blight.
Council Packet Page Number 50 of 111
G7
A project qualifies for a loan if the following conditions are met:
1.The property and structures are owned by the development authority;
2.The structures on the property have been vacant for at least one year;
3.The structures constitute a threat to public safety because of inadequate maintenance,
dilapidation, obsolescence, or abandonment;
4.The structures are not listed on the National Register of Historic Places;
5.Upon completion of the demolition, the development authority reasonably expects that the
property will be improved and these improvements will result in economic development
benefits to the municipality.
City staff believes that the former Moose Lodge building at 1946 English Street is an excellent
candidate for the program and would meet all of the requirements for demolition assistance. If
awarded funding, the demolition loan program can pay up to 100 percent of the demolition costs for
the properties, and the city would use the funds to demolish the existing buildings and make site
improvements. This would prepare the sites for future redevelopment, make the properties more
marketable, and reduce the development cost.
DEED may forgive the principal of the loan and unpaid interest accrued up to 50 percent of the
original loan amount, not to exceed demolition costs, upon completion of the redevelopment plan.

AGENDA ITEM: 2024 Alcohol Compliance Failures
Action Requested:MotionDiscussionPublic Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution Ordinance Contract/Agreement Proclamation
Policy Issue:
The Maplewood Police Department conducts alcohol compliance checks on all liquor license
holders in the city at least once a year. The most recent checks occurred on November 7 &
December 14, 2024 and resulted in two first-time failures out of the 53 establishments. In each
instance, an employee sold alcohol to an underage buyer. Criminal complaints were issued to the
employees for the offenses, which have been or will be prosecuted. In addition, the city council may
impose civil penalties on the businesses where the compliance failures occurred.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve the compliance failure penalties as proposed by staff.

MN §340a.415 authorizes cities to suspend or revoke a license, or impose a civil penalty of up to
$2,000 for each violation of state statute or city ordinance regulating alcohol.
Background
Alcohol compliance checks have been regularly conducted since 2000. In the past, city councils
have opted to not establish strict guidelines for penalties on the basis that compliance failure
situations differ, and therefore may warrant varied penalties.
Council Packet Page Number 53 of 111
J1
While the City does not have specified fines for alcohol compliance failures, past practice has been
to adhere to the following guidelines for imposing penalties which occur within five years of each
other: $500 for the first offense, $1,000 for the second offense, and $2,000 for the third offense. In
addition, and depending on the nature of the failure or proximity of multiple failures in relation to
each other, suspension or possible revocation of the license may also be imposed.
Although two businesses sold to the underage buyer, one of the businesses has since closed.
The remaining business has been notified of the proposed civil penalty against them and were
notified that a representative from the business is required to attend the February 10, 2025 City
Council meeting.

The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on January 2, 2025. The initial 60-day review
deadline for a decision is March 3, 2025. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city can
take an additional 60 days, if necessary, to complete the review.
Background:
Project Overview
Conditional Use Permit (PUD Amendment)
MX Real Estate, LLC proposes constructing a residential assisted living facility at 1744 County
Road D East. The vacant site is part of the Legacy Village PUD, which was approved initially on
July 14, 2003, and designated as a retail/commercial site. In 2020, it was amended to allow a hotel
to be on-site, but the project did not materialize.
In 2022, the city approved the applicant’s request for a residential assisted living facility to be on the
site, combining residential units with commercial and employment to complement the existing mix of
uses in the neighborhood. However, the applicant experienced delays over the last two years,
preventing the assisted living project from moving to construction. The city approvals expired in May
2024. The applicant requests that the city approve the same plans again to renew the approvals for
the site as they wish to obtain a building permit and begin construction in 2025.
Site Plan
The 17,233-square-foot building is proposed towards the site's north end near County Road D East.
There are 20 units shown, each 318 square feet in size. The building entrance and parking lot are
proposed on the south side of the building, facing the existing residential properties. The parking
spaces are oriented towards the assisted living building, minimizing lighting impacts to the
residential properties to the south. Access to the site is provided from Bittersweet Ln on the east
and Flandreau Street on the west side. The applicant's site plan illustrates a potential expansion of
the facility in the future. A building addition will require updated plans to be reviewed by the city.
Setbacks
The parking lot meets the required minimum of 15 feet from the adjacent right-of-way. The building
must be set back 100 feet from an adjoining residential lot line and is shown to be set back at least
30 feet from all street rights of way. One exception is on the east side of the building, where the
setback is 26.7 feet. This is in line with the development across the street (Ashley Furniture), which
has a setback of 25 feet to the right of way.
Building Elevations
The one-story building is 24 feet at its highest point. The exterior materials are identified on the
elevations and shown as manufactured wood trim, batten, and shingle siding in colors white and
blue. Also, cultured stone veneer wraps around the building, varying in height.
Signage
The elevation drawing identifies a monument sign with landscaping on the northeast corner of the
property. Any signage on the property is subject to review by the city and requires a sign permit,
separate from this design review.
Landscaping and Screening
The proposed landscape plan shows a combination of trees, perennial shrubs, and native plants
that will complement the site's layout, including 26 trees exceeding the required tree replacement
Council Packet Page Number 56 of 111
J2
requirement. The plans also show that the trash exterior receptacle and screened roof penetrations
match the building's overall color and material scheme, achieving code requirements. The site plan
shows a generator and transformer near the screened trash enclosure on the northeast corner of
the building. These are required to be screened. The applicant must submit elevations detailing how
each side will be screened before issuing a building permit.
Parking
The city ordinance requires one parking stall for every three client rooms. The applicant proposes
28 parking stalls, including two (2) accessible stalls. The facility employees and guests visiting
residents would use the parking on site. The number of stalls is adequate given the number of units,
possible visitors, and proposed staff on-site at any time, and it exceeds the code requirement.
Lighting
The applicant submitted a lighting plan illustrating the location and lighting types, including light
poles and wall-mounted lighting on site. Before a building permit can be issued, a description and
manufacturer's details for the fixtures and a plan showing the light spread and foot-candle levels
must be submitted.

Elizabeth Hammond

Dear Ms Hammond:
Please accept the following explanation regarding the Maplewood Assisted Living project at the property
located at 1744 County Rd DE, Maplewood, MN 55109.
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally inform you about the reason behind the delay
in the construction of the Maplewood development.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the project has been pending approval from the MDH for licensing
since 2022. Additionally, the plan was put on hold due to financing not being in place, and my previous
general contractor was not prepared to move forward at that time.
This time around, I have secured financing and am working with a great general contractor, Steiner
Construction, to move forward with the project. Additionally, I have also received plan approval from
MDH, which allows us to proceed.
Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I look forward to moving ahead and completing this
project.
Sincerely,
Maixia Vang, RN

Engineering Plan Review
PROJECT: Maplewood Assisted Living – 1744 County Road D
PROJECT NO: 25-02
COMMENTS BY: Jon Jarosch, Assistant City Engineer
DATE: 1-3-2025
PLAN SET: Engineering plans dated 7-11-2022
The applicant is proposing an assisted living facility and associated site improvements on the
vacant lot at 1744 County Road D. This is a resubmittal of a proposal approved by the City in
2022.
As this project disturbs more than 1/2 acre, it is required to meet the City’s water quality and
rate control requirements. Stormwater management for the site is proposed to be
accommodated via the use of infiltration basins.
This review does not constitute a final review of the plans, as the applicant will need to submit
construction documents for final review, along with ratified agreements, prior to issuing building
and grading permits.
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 stormwater maintenance agreement with the City and RWMWD shall be signed
by the owner for the proposed underground filtration system, sump structures, and
associated storm sewer system.
3)A stormwater management plan shall be submitted detailing how the project is meeting
the City of Maplewood and RWMWD stormwater management requirements.
4)Rate control for this site was provided as part of the larger Legacy Village PUD. A storm
sewer system was stubbed in to the southwest corner of the site for this purpose. As
such, the proposed site shall have its runoff rate controlled such that it is equal to (or
less than) 3.8 cubic-feet-per-second in the 10-year storm event discharging into this
storm sewer system.
Council Packet Page Number 78 of 111
J2, Attachment 8
5)Soil boring information or infiltration test data shall be submitted to support the infiltration
rates utilized in the Stormwater Management Plan.

6)Infiltration basins shall be protected from sedimentation throughout construction.
7)Inlet protection devices shall be installed on all existing and proposed onsite storm
sewer until all exposed soils are stabilized.
8)Public and private drives and roadways shall be swept as needed to keep the pavement
clear of sediment and construction debris.
9)All pedestrian facilities shall be ADA compliant.
10)A copy of the project SWPPP and NDPES Permit shall be submitted prior to the
issuance of a grading permit.
11)All slopes shall be 3H:1V or less steep in slope.
12)The total cut/fill volume shall be noted on the grading plan.
Sanitary Sewer and Water Service
13)Sanitary sewer service piping shall be schedule 40 PVC or SDR 35.
14)The proposed water service modifications are subject to the review and conditions of

the issuance of a grading permit by the City.
15)The applicant shall be responsible for paying any SAC, WAC, or PAC charges related to
the improvements proposed with this phase of the project. Appropriate fees shall be
charged during the permitting process.
Other
16)All work within the right-of-way along County Road D shall be reviewed and approved by
Ramsey County. Work in this area will require a right-of-way permit from the County.

Environmental Review
Project: Maplewood Assisted Living
Date of Plans: January 10, 2023
Date of Review: January 9, 2025
Location: 1744 County Road C (Legacy Village)
Reviewers: Shann Finwall, Environmental Planner
(651)249-2304, shann.finwall@maplewoodmn.gov
Carole Gernes, Natural Resources Coordinator
(651)249-2416, carole.gernes@maplewoodmn.gov
Project Background: MX Real Estate, LLC, proposed to construct an assisted living
facility on the last vacant lot within the Legacy Village Planned Unit Development (PUD)
at 1744 County Road D East. The City reviewed the original proposal in 2022.
However, the City’s land use approvals have since expired as the developer has not
begun construction. This request is for the renewal of a previous design review and
conditional use permit. The development must comply with the Legacy Village PUD tree
replacement requirements, and the City’s overall landscape ordinance/guidelines and
infiltration basin planting policies.
1.Trees
a.Legacy Village Planned Unit Development Tree Replacement
Requirements: The Legacy Village Planned Unit Development approved
by the City Council in 2003 required that developments within Legacy
Village replace trees at a rate of one replacement tree for one tree
removed, with a maximum of 10 trees per acre. Additionally, overstory
trees will be planted along the streets at an average of 30 to 40 feet on
center.
b.Tree Impacts: All trees were removed from this site during the overall
grading of the Legacy Village PUD.
c.Tree Replacement: The site is 2.04 acres in size. According to the
Legacy Village PUD tree replacement requirements, the applicants must
replace at least 20 trees (2.04 x 10 = 20 trees) on the site. There is
approximately 1,000 linear feet of street frontage, requiring approximately
25 overstory trees along the streets. The updated landscape plan shows
26 2-caliper inch trees, which meets the tree replacement requirements.
d.Tree Replacement Recommendations:
1)The applicants addressed all 2022 environmental review tree
replacement recommendations with their updated plans.
Council Packet Page Number 81 of 111
J2, Attachment 9
2.Overall Landscaping
a.Landscape Requirements: The City will review the landscape plan to
ensure nonnative or invasive species are avoided, and that the
landscaping meets City ordinance and guidelines.
b.Landscape Recommendations:
1)Prior to issuance of a grading or building permit the applicant must
submit a revised landscape plan for staff approval showing:
a)The applicants addressed all 2022 environmental review
landscape recommendations with their updated plans.
3.Stormwater Basins
a.Stormwater Basin Requirements: Two stormwater basins are proposed
on the site. The basins are required to be planted, ideally with deep-
rooted native plants. The City requires a portion of the basin to be planted
rather than seeded; typically a minimum of 5,000 square feet of plantings
are required on large basins. Using plants rather than seeds hastens
establishment and provides a better chance of successful establishment.
Basin bottoms and lower elevations almost never establish successfully
from seed since the seed is washed away when stormwater flows into the
basin.
b.Stormwater Basin Recommendations.
1)Prior to issuance of a grading or building permit, the applicant
must submit detailed planting plans for the stormwater basins for
staff approval showing:
a)A landscape drawing for each infiltration basin, including
list of species, MNDOT seed mix, container size, spacing,
and quantities. The plan states “Planting Detail (STD Plate
652)on Sheet 8”. No Sheet 8 was included.
b)The MNDOT seed mix 35-221 is a dry prairie mix and it
should work fine in the upper part and slopes of the ponds.
The wet areas should include a seed mix such as MNDOT
33-261 for stormwater.
c)The plan calls for 25 Juncu effusus. The correct spelling is
Juncus effuses.
d)For any area using a native seed mix (ex: pond slopes),
provide a three-year maintenance plan. The plan should
include maintenance for each year, including maintenance
activities that will be required and what entity (developer,
owner, etc.) will take on this responsibility.

CITY COUNCILSTAFF REPORT
Meeting Date February 10, 2025
REPORT TO: Michael Sable, City Manager
REPORT FROM: Danette Parr, Community Development Director
PRESENTER:Danette Parr, Community Development Director
AGENDA ITEM: Contract for Demolition,1830 Howard Street North
Action Requested: MotionDiscussion Public Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution OrdinanceContract/Agreement Proclamation
Policy Issue:
In 2024 the City Council ordered the abatement of a hazardous building and public nuisance
conditions at 1830 Howard Street North. In preparation for the demolition of the hazardous
structure, an asbestos report was completed, and quotes were sought. Authorizing the contract will
allow for the demolition and mitigation of hazardous conditions.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve a contract with Goodmanson Construction for the demolition of 1830 Howard
Street North and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to sign the contract.
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: Statutory and city code provisions
authorize the city to recover enforcement and demolition costs via special assessments against the
property.
Strategic Plan Relevance:
Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship
Integrated Communication Operational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment
Code enforcement is a key function of city services, and the use of abatement is a tool to compel
compliance and remove unsafe nuisance structures.
Background:
The single-family dwelling at 1830 Howard Street has been the subject of numerous code violations
over the years. Throughout this time, numerous attempts were made to have the substandard
conditions remedied. The structure eventually became unoccupied and continued to decline and
become a safety hazard. In January of 2024, an administrative warrant was granted to the city to
allow staff to enter the structure and inspect the inside and the surrounding grounds. Based on the
Council Packet Page Number 99 of 111
J3
findings of that inspection, staff and our city attorney believed the property and the structure to be
hazardous, unsafe, and a public nuisance under state law and city code.
In February of 2024, the City Council approved a resolution ordering the abatement of a hazardous
building and public nuisance conditions at 1830 Howard Street North. It was determined that the
most suitable way to restore the property to a safe, sanitary, and code-compliant condition was to
have the structure removed and the site restored. Since all necessary legal considerations have
been completed, the city sought two bids to carry out this work. The lowest qualified bid was offered
by Goodmanson Construction in the amount of $41,000.

North, Maplewood, Minnesota (the “Property”) and all associated site restoration work, including,
without limitation, all items expressly listed in the Contractor’s proposal (the “Proposal”) attached
hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Services”). The Proposal is incorporated into this Agreement
as if fully set forth herein, provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between this Agreement
and the Proposal, this Agreement shall control.
B.Following a written notice to proceed from the City, the Contractor will perform the
Services required herein. Such Services will begin on a date mutually agreed upon by the City and the
Contractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless caused by any unforeseen circumstances or
events outside of the Contractor’s control, all Services must be completed by the Contractor within 60
days of the City’s written notice to proceed.
C.Execution of this Agreement by the Contractor is a representation that the Contractor
has visited the Property, is familiar with local conditions under which the Services are to be performed,
and correlated its personal observations with the requirements of this Agreement. The Contractor
further represents that it is thoroughly familiar with the nature, location, and character of the general
area in which the Services are to be performed, including, without limitation, the type and quantity of
all necessary equipment, materials, supplies, tools, and labor needed to complete the Services in the
manner and within the costs and time frame required by this Agreement. Further, the Contractor
recognizes the degree of care required with respect to the safety and protection of individuals and
property on and near the Property and the cleanliness of the Property.
D.The Contractor shall supervise and direct the work related to all Services using the
Contractor’s best skill and attention. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for and have control
over the means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures, and for coordinating all portions of
the Services required under this Agreement. All Services and work performed by the Contractor under
this Agreement shall be provided in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily
exercised by professional contractors currently providing similar services.
II.COMPLETION AND FINAL INSPECTION; PAYMENT.
A.Upon receipt of notice from the Contractor that the Services have been completed in
accordance herewith and the Property is ready for final inspection and approval, the City shall perform
such inspections that it deems reasonably necessary and, only when it deems the work as acceptable
and the Services fully performed, it shall make final payment to the Contractor in the amount provided
in subsection II.B below. Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor shall constitute a waiver of
claims against the City for the work performed hereunder.

B.Following the satisfactory completion of the Services, the City will pay the Contractor
$42,400 (the “Fee”), as provided in the Proposal. The Fee includes all work to be performed by the
Contractor, including all associated expenses expected to be incurred by the Contractor in carrying out
the Services, and the City shall not be responsible for payment of additional money or for any
additional work performed by the Contractor that is not expressly required or authorized herein. For
the avoidance of doubt, this is a lump sum contract, and change orders for additional payment will not
be granted as a result of the Contractor under-estimating quantities of material(s), supplies, equipment,
or work hours needed to complete the Services. The City may withhold payment to the Contractor in
whole or in part to the extent reasonably necessary to protect it from loss because of: (i) defective work
not remedied; (ii) failure of the Contractor to make payments to subcontractors or for labor, materials,
or equipment; or (iii) persistent failure by the Contractor to carry out the work and Services in
accordance with this Agreement.
III.TERM OF AGREEMENT; TERMINATION.
This Agreement shall terminate upon completion of all Services by the Contractor and the
Contractor’s acceptance of final payment of the Fee, as contemplated in section II above. Additionally,
the City may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason or no reason at all by providing the
Contractor with written notice of immediate termination. The parties may also, by mutual written
agreement, terminate this Agreement at any time. In the event of termination, the Contractor shall be
paid for any work actually completed prior to the date of termination, and the provisions in sections IV,
V, and VII of this Agreement shall survive termination.
IV.INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
All Services provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be provided by the Contractor as an
independent contractor and not as an employee of the City for any purpose. Any and all officers,
employees, subcontractors, and agents of the Contractor, or any other person engaged by the Contractor
in the performance of work or Services pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be considered employees
of the City. Any and all actions which arise as a consequence of any act or omission on the part of the
Contractor, its officers, employees, subcontractors, or agents, or other persons engaged by the
Contractor in the performance of work or Services pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be the
obligation or responsibility of the City. The Contractor, its officers, employees, subcontractors, or
agents shall not be entitled to any of the rights, privileges, or benefits of the City’s employees, except
as otherwise stated herein.
V.INDEMNIFICATION.
The Contractor, and any and all officers, employees, subcontractors, and agents of the
Contractor, or any other person engaged by the Contractor in the performance of work or Services
pursuant to this Agreement, hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its
officials, employees, contractors and agents from any loss, claim, liability, and expense (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) arising from, or based in the whole, or in any part,
on any negligent act or omission by the Contractor, its officers, employees, subcontractors, and agents, or
any other person engaged by the Contractor in the performance of work or Services pursuant to this
Agreement. In no event shall the City be liable to the Contractor for consequential, incidental, indirect,
special, or punitive damages. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver by the City of any
liability limits that it is duly afforded under law.

Avenue corridor.
Background:
In 2019, the City purchased the Moose Lodge building to support redevelopment efforts along the
Frost Avenue corridor. However, the demolition and redevelopment of the site were temporarily
paused to prioritize other projects in the area.
During last fallÓs development tour, this site was identified as a key redevelopment opportunity, with
the demolition of the building considered the first phase. Following the completion of an asbestos
report earlier this year, the City solicited bids, receiving a total of 15 submissions by the February 4,
2024, deadline at 10:00 AM.
The bid package included:
Base bid: Removal of the building only
Bid alternative: Removal of both the building and parking lot
Bid results:
Base bid: Ranged from $249,000 (lowest) to $851,551.60 (highest)
Bid alternative: Ranged from $314,898.75 (lowest) to over $851,551.60 (highest)
Both options include asbestos removal and clean fill of the site. The project is scheduled for
completion by May 22, 2025.
