City and handler both acknowledge that the canine is a unique piece of "property," utilized by the City in that it is a living creature that, by its biology, training, and instinct forms a bond with its handler. City and handler also acknowledge that the canine, Ronan, and handler, Sergeant Joe Demulling, have maintained that canine/handler relationship for 6 years and that the aforementioned bond has been established; City and handler both acknowledge that the useful service of the canine, Ronan, has come to an end for the City's policing purposes. City and handler acknowledge that due to the bond between the handler and the canine, to allow the canine to be disposed of by public auction, as a piece of surplus "property," would be irresponsible, inhumane, and pose potential liability to the City in that the canine may never acclimate and accept another human handler and thus be then-disposed to antisocial, potentially harmful behavior; The City and handler have reached an agreement that the canine unit will either need to be released to the handler or euthanized to protect the public and limit the City's exposure to liability stemming from the canine's retirement. The City and handler also agree that the useful life of the canine does not equate to its actual life, and that the canine should be allowed to live out its years if possible. In recognition of the above, Sergeant Joe Demulling has agreed to take full possession, ownership, and responsibility for the canine, Ronan, from the date of removal from regular K-9 st, service on November 12025. The transfer of ownership of the canine from the City to Sergeant Joe Demulling, without remuneration to the City, is premised on the purpose of protecting the City from potential liability and preserving the canine's life by transitioning the animal to a domestic pet environment. City acknowledges the aforementioned as appropriate and compelling under the circumstances. Handler shall hold City harmless from this date forward, and City shall be held harmless for any and all future actions attributable to the canine, "Ronan." This executed Agreement shall serve as the "Bill of Sale" for canine, Ronan, and is approved by a separate resolution of the Maplewood City Council. ___________________________ ____________________________ Chief Brian Bierdeman Sergeant Joe Demulling Maplewood Police Department Council Packet Page Number 14 of 365 F4 CITY COUNCILSTAFF REPORT Meeting Date October 27, 2025 REPORT TO:Michael Sable, City Manager REPORT FROM: Steven Love, Public Works Director Audra Robbins, Parks and Natural Resources Manager Shann Finwall, Sustainability Coordinator PRESENTER:Steven Love, Public Works Director AGENDA ITEM: Resolution of Appreciation for Nancy Edwards, Environmental and Natural Resources Commission Action Requested: MotionDiscussion Public Hearing Form of Action: Resolution OrdinanceContract/Agreement Proclamation Policy Issue: When citizen members end their time of service on a commission, the City considers adoption of a resolution of appreciation recognizing the individual for their time committed to serving Maplewood.

Council Packet Page Number 86 of 365 G9 CITY COUNCILSTAFF REPORT Meeting Date October 27, 2025 REPORT TO:Michael Sable, City Manager REPORT FROM: David Anderson, Assistant City Attorney PRESENTER:Danette Parr, Community Development Director AGENDA ITEM: Abatement Agreement Regarding Conditions Creating a Hazardous Property and Public Nuisance, 1851 North Saint Paul Road East Action Requested:MotionDiscussionPublic Hearing Form of Action: Resolution Ordinance Contract/Agreement Proclamation Policy Issue: The subject property (the “Property”) is located at 1851 North Saint Paul Road East. On July 14, 2025, the city council deemed the building hazardous and formally ordered the abatement of the hazardous and nuisance conditions on the Property. Staff recommends approval of the agreement with the owners, which provides a means to ensure the abatement of the hazardous and nuisance conditions on the Property and spares both parties the time and expense associated with district court proceedings. City staff and the city attorney will be present during the meeting if there are questions about the draft agreement. Recommended Action: Motion to approve and authorize the execution of the Abatement Agreement for the property located at 1851 North Saint Paul Road East. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is dependent on how much of the work is completed by the owner. The estimated cost of all work is approximately $170,000 and city will only perform such work to the extent it is not completed by the owners. If the city performs any work, the agreement and the law expressly authorize the city to recover its costs via a special assessment against the Property, which would then go onto the Property’s tax rolls for future payment by the owners. 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 Council Packet Page Number 87 of 365 G9 Code enforcement is a key function of city services, and the use of abatement is a tool to compel compliance. Background: On February 5, 2025, the Property and the building were inspected by the city’s building department pursuant to a duly obtained administrative search warrant and it was determined that both the building and exterior portions of the Property are hazardous, unsafe, and constituted a public nuisance under state law and the city code. More specifically, the building department observed the following conditions: (i) significant portions of the main level ceilings have collapsed, revealing a deteriorated underlying sheetrock ceiling; (ii) the exposed sheetrock ceiling shows signs of leaking, fallen sections that expose attic insulation, makeshift and inadequate patching, and extensive mold growth and water damage; (iii) mold growth is also visible on various walls throughout the main level; (iv) building and plumbing fixtures have been removed from the building, including most kitchen sinks, counters, copper water pipes, and other equipment; (v) the electrical system has major deficiencies, including exposed lighting fixtures, incomplete and unsafe wiring, and electrical panels that have been stripped of all breakers and wiring; (vi) the basement shows indication of previous flooding of a depth of approximately four feet, including watermarks and rust on remaining equipment; and (vii) the interior spaces are extensively filled with accumulated garbage, rubbish, deteriorated building materials, and other debris. The exterior components of the Property also featured the following conditions: (i) the foundation for the exterior walk-in cooler is failing, visibly pulling the cooler away from the building’s wall; (ii) the exterior sidewalks are sinking, cracked, and steeply sloped away from the building, making level transportation unsafe; (iii) a front corner window of the building is broken with temporary coverings; and (iv) the exterior of the Property contains an accumulation of rubbish and debris. On July 14, 2025, considering the above, the City Council deemed the building hazardous and formally ordered the abatement of the hazardous and nuisance conditions on the Property. The city council resolution authorized the city attorney to initiate legal proceedings against the Property’s owners to make the Property safe and bring it into compliance with state and local laws. The abatement order required the property owners to either: (i) repair, replace or remedy all non-compliant conditions described above; or (ii) demolish the structure. On July 28, 2025, the owners were personally served with the city’s abatement order. The owners then reached out to the city attorney’s office and expressed their intent to demolish the structure. Rather than initiating formal legal proceedings in district court, the city attorney has negotiated the attached abatement agreement with the owners. The agreement provides the property owner Council Packet Page Number 88 of 365 G9 through December of 2025 to demolish the building, remove all personal property and restore the Property to a safe and lawful condition. If the property owners fail to meet said deadline, the city will be authorized to demolish the building and assess the costs related thereto against the Property.

If the Owners fail to perform all such Work by the Deadline, the Parties agree that the City or its contractors may immediately enter onto the Property, perform any outstanding Work, and thereafter asses all of its costs in doing so pursuant to section 6 of this Agreement, without the need for any further action, approval, or court order.

Based on our observations made during our inspection, it is our opinion that this structure is considered hazardous and an unsafe building. For the protection of public safety, the building must be abated as soon as possible. This structure needs to be razed, or the property owner needs to obtain the required building permits in a timely fashion and make the necessary repairs to make the building habitable again. Historical Background: The property has been vacant and has not been operational as a business since 2020. Our city code enforcement staff has documented complaints regarding this property dating back to 2020 when they closed the business. The property is a dumping ground and our city code enforcement staff are consistently dealing with the cleanup of rubbish that is left at the property. On January 28, 2025, an Administrative Search Warrant was issued by Judge Reynaldo Aligada, of the Second Judicial District of Ramsey County, for the purpose of allowing an inspection team to enter the property and assess the condition of the property and structure. hĬƭĻƩǝğƷźƚƓƭʹ On the morning of February 5, 2025, the inspection team comprising of Randy Johnson and Paul Thienes, Building Official and Neighborhood Preservation Specialist, respectively, for the City of Maplewood, entered the property at 1851 North Saint Paul. When we arrived at the property, the front entrance, which consisted of a pair of glass doors, had one of the glass doors unsecured because the dead bolt propped the door, so it was not completely shut. We opened the door and identified ourselves, but the property was vacant. We entered the building and began our investigation of the property and took several photos of the condition of the property. When we exited the building, we were not able to close the front door completely because of the dead bolt and we left the door in the same condition as when we first arrived at the property. Paul Thienes reached out to the Police Department and made them aware of the condition of the front entrance door and the fact that the building was unsecured.

In 2020 and 2021, Ramsey County and the City of Maplewood collaborated on a community engagement process to review potential development scenarios for this property. Building on thisgroundwork, Ramsey County identifieda potential developerand ultimately approveda purchase agreement with DR Horton to develop the property. DR Horton’sproposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) will include 206 dwelling units, 133 of which are proposed single-family homes on two different lot sizes (55’ and 65’ lots) and 73 of which are attached townhomes. Each unit has an attached two- or three-car garage. The proposed project's total lot area is 92.23 acres. The site is located along Century Avenue South, between Linwood Avenue East and Lower Afton Road East. The single-family homes are on the northern end of the parcel, with access via Lower Afton Road and Century Avenue South. The townhomes are in the southern portion of the parcel, with access via Linwood Avenue East. Due to wetlands being preserved on the site, vehicle access is not permitted between the two parts ofthe development. The proposed development includes a 1.73- acre public park and 1.80 miles of public paved trail. Process The city council is required to hold public hearings on vacation requests. This report only contains information related to the requested vacation. The rest of the project details can be found in the staff reportthat outlines the requests related to the comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning to a Planned Unit Development, wetland buffer variance,preliminary plat, and design reviewwhich can be found later in the meeting agenda.The resolution included with this report contains a condition that requires the remaining project requests toalso be approved by the city council for this easement vacation to take effect. Public Vacation The applicant is seeking city approval to vacate portions of the existing wetland buffer easement in the southwest portion of the property. The applicant requests a vacation of the wetland buffer easement because the description does not align with the approved wetland delineation. This request will remove awetland buffer easement that is not aligned with the location of the existing wetland. The applicant is proposing to construct townhomes in this area, and Block 8, Lots 18 through 22, currently overlap with the buffer easement that the applicant is proposing to vacate. The applicant will create new buffers that align with the existing location of the wetlands with the final plat.The required public hearing for this request will be held by the city council.

Sustainability The fire department will continue to focus on sustainability efforts through a lens of financial stewardship, workforcestability, and operational effectiveness. The fire department has sought to make strategic investments that consider associated costs and balance with current and future service demands. The department is committed to ensuring ongoing value to the communitythat coincides with increased investment. The department has sought out grants to aid in the implementation of the department’s long-rangestaffing plan. The department recognizes recruitment and retention as a core element of sustainability. The department continues to recruit and retain a skilledand engaged workforce. The department has placed significant focus on employee health, safety, wellness, and engagement, which has dramatically improved workforce engagement. The department will continue to emphasize sustainability for fleet, facilities, and equipment. This includes life-cycle planning for fleet and equipment, robust preventative maintenance schedules for fleet, equipment and facilities, and an exploration of how the department can explore environmentally friendly alternatives when making purchasing decisions. Safety The fire department has established the “MFD Way” which establishes the organizational framework for howthe department operates. This frameworkis built to support the City of Maplewood’s strategic priorities and organizational pillars. The department aims to be a regional and industry leader through CityofMaplewood Office of the City ManagerOffice651-249-2055 1830 County Road B EastFax651-249-2059 Maplewood, MN 55109www.maplewoodmn.gov Council Packet Page Number 158 of 365 I1, Attachment 2 the prioritization ofemployee health, wellness, and safety.The fire department has continually invested in training, modern equipment, employee health screenings, and research projects, which will inform future decision-making. The fire department has focused on community safety, as evidenced by the department meeting the travel time performance of 8 minutes or less 90 percent of the time. The department prioritizes community risk reduction and engagement by conducting fire inspections, developing pre-plans, and maintaining a strong commitment to outreach efforts that both reduce the likelihood of emergencies and strengthen community relationships. Development The department remains committed to developing its workforce through advanced training and by fostering both formal and informal leadership opportunities. Continued investment in the Fire/EMS Cadet Program strengthens the department’s internal pipeline andserves as a regional model for creating pathways into the fire service for underrepresented populations. Through these initiatives, the department builds organizational resilience and supports every employee in “Leveling Up” their leadership skills to better serve the community. Budget Request Summary Department Goals First in Employee Wellness and Engagement: Prioritize staff well-being while creating opportunities for career fulfillment. CityofMaplewood-Office of the City Manager Council Packet Page Number 159 of 365 I1, Attachment 2 The department remains dedicated to the health, safety, and wellness of all employees. In the upcoming fiscal year, the department will strengthen the efforts of its Health, Safety, and Wellness Committee to ensure staff have access to industry-leading screenings, preventative care, and proactive mental health resources. Continued investment in technology and equipment will further enhance firefighter safety and support overall employee well-being. Organizational Excellence and Accountability: The department and its employees are committed to setting industry standards and providing best-in-class delivery of fire and emergency medical services. The fire department continues to implement the fire department staffing plan, which is reflected in the 2026 Fire Department Budget. The fire department applied for a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant requesting six full-time firefighters following council support in March of 2025. Staff were notified that the department was awarded the grant for nearly $1.6 million on September 25, 2025. City Council approved acceptance of the grant on October 13, 2025. Upon completion of the implementation of the plan, the department will have a minimum of two units staffed, responding to calls from the South Fire Station and a minimum of three units staffed, responding to calls from the North Station. This staffing level will address increasing call volumes while also ensuring that the department can meet the established response time standard. Additionally, minimum staffing on fire apparatus will be increased to a minimum of three firefighters on fire apparatus, which will better align the fire department’s response with industry best practices while increasing safety, efficiency in operations, and improved response capabilities. Community Centered: Commitment to engaging with the community to best meet their needs. The department will continue to invest in training, education, and planning to identify what strategies, initiatives, policies and/or actions are required to ensure that the Maplewood Fire Department is an inclusive workplace that is welcoming to and reflective of the diverse population we serve. This work has been ongoing over the past several years and will continue in 2026. The department will also continue to strengthen its investment in community outreach and engagement. In 2024, staff dedicated more than 1,300 hours to community events and are on pace to exceed that total in 2025. These efforts reflect the department’s ongoing commitment to building meaningful relationships with residents and fostering trust through active community participation. Exemplary Customer Service: Everyone we encounter will be cared for as family. What is often referred to as the Maplewood Difference, the fire department will continue to invest in initiatives that increase meaningful connections with community members and will implement greater opportunities to instill community voice in department operations and outreach initiatives. What challenges are you responding to with your budget request? City of Maplewood - Office of the City Manager Council Packet Page Number 160 of 365 I1, Attachment 2 The recruitment and retention of Fire and EMS professionals remains extremely competitive. The city and department’s investment in staff development, engagement, health, safety and wellness, along with the existing compensation, allows for the fire department to remain amongst the most competitive agencies in the State of Minnesota as it relates to recruitment and retention. The city’s investment in staffing addresses the department’s ability to meet response time standards established by the City Council and improves overall emergency response, along with the safety and operational effectiveness of fire staff. The department has been awarded a SAFER grant, which will lessen the immediate financial impact of the department’s staffing needs. The 2026 budget also addresses operational and technology needs as the department replaces aging equipment and implements needed technology enhancements as the department transitions to the new National Emergency Response Information System. Innovative Revenue Sources The rate of reimbursement for ambulance transport is a local, statewide, and national issue. Simply raising fees does not address increasing costs due to mandatory Medicare and Medicaid write-offs. This will be a continued conversation at the State and Federal levels, and staff will continue to be a part of these conversations. The department has relentlessly pursued State and Federal grants to support department operations. The department applied for and was awarded a SAFER grant in 2025 and will pursue Assistance to Firefighter (AFG) and Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) grants during the next application period. The department also regularly evaluates local grant opportunities and maximizes state programs to reimburse firefighter training. Minnesota State Statute 275.066 SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICTS allows for fire protection and emergency medical services entities to create special taxing districts. While this represents an alternative funding approach, two or more political subdivisions must agree to establish such a district, and the result includes a tax that residents would be required to pay. Other fee-for-service models have been reviewed in prior years, but were determined not to be feasible. Although some jurisdictions assess fees for certain response types - such as gas leaks, vehicle fires, lift assists, and motor vehicle accidents - these programs often raise policy considerations, as residents already fund many of these services through taxes. In addition, the administrative effort required to implement such models would outweigh the limited financial benefit, making them impractical for adoption at this time. Resource Sharing Opportunities The City continues to collaborate effectively across departments to maximize resources and achieve shared goals. Community outreach activities provide a strong example of how staff from multiple departments can accomplish more through coordinated efforts. The Public Safety Department naturally operates in a collaborative environment due to its aligned missions and operational needs. Similarly, City of Maplewood - Office of the City Manager Council Packet Page Number 161 of 365 I1, Attachment 2 the partnership between the Fire Department and HR/Administration in sharing the Data Analyst position demonstrates a practical, problem-solving approach to meeting the needs of multiple departments. The East Metro Public Safety Training Facility expansion project represents another example of effective resource sharing between police and fire services, with the goal of expanding training opportunities to police, fire, EMS, and social service agencies across the metro area. While bonding funds have not yet been secured to advance the project to its next phase, staff have continued working closely with elected officials to raise awareness and support. These efforts have included providing testimony and hosting bonding tours for both Senate and House members, reflecting positive momentum toward future funding. Dollar Impact The proposed 2026 budget includes $831,921 in salaries/wages/benefits increases. This line item includes the addition of one firefighter, the local match for the SAFER grant, which will add 6 new firefighters, and one-half of the data analyst position. The increase in this category also encompasses contractual wage adjustments along with insurance, leave, and retirement benefits. The Fire/EMS department has requested a $16,550 increase in Supplies and Materials. This increase would allow the department to continue to replace aging fire hose and aging tools and equipment. This increase will also allow the department to implement new technology for gas detectors and power tools. A $103,028 increase is requested for Professional Services. These services include key wellness and safety initiatives such as Ready Rebound, Fatigue Science, enhanced firefighter screening physicals, and potential expansions to mental health and wellness programming. This increase will also allow the fire department to continue the implementation of a Fire/EMS software called First Due. The fire department currently utilizes several software platforms to perform fire department operations. In 2025, the department transitioned to the training module, asset management, and the implementation of the newly required National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS). Upon completion, this will allow the department to operate under a single software solution. Once fully implemented, the department will sunset legacy software programs, which will reduce some of the overall software costs. The professional services increase also includes additional funds for travel and training due to the need to send employees to paramedic school and to provide professional development training for the department’s leadership team and line staff. This increase will be offset by training reimbursement from the Minnesota Board of Fire Training and Education (MBFTE). In 2025, the department is scheduled to receive $10,000 in training reimbursement and $41,000 in redistribution awards. It is anticipated that the department will be allocated at least $10,000 in training reimbursement in 2026. There is potential to recoup additional reimbursement through redistribution awards in 2026. Redistribution awards are based on available funds. The 2026 budget also includes a $41,706 increase for internal charges, which is allocated for internal IT charges. Strategic Plan Alignment City of Maplewood - Office of the City Manager Council Packet Page Number 162 of 365 I1, Attachment 2 The 2026 Fire/EMS Department’s budget increase request supports and aligns with the city’s overall mission of sustainably providing for health, safety, and quality of life for all while advancing several of the city’s strategic priorities. Salary/Wage Benefit Increases-Safety: The request to add staffing as part of the department’s overall staffing plan directly impacts the department’s operational effectiveness. This addition will allow the fire department to increase minimum staffing at both fire stations, ensuring that fire suppression vehicles are staffed with a minimum of three firefighters 24 hours a day/7 days a week. The salary/wage/benefit increases are significant; however, those increases aid in the recruitment and retention of highly qualified employees who continue to demonstrate commitment to the Maplewood difference, organizational, and citywide values. Professional Services-Safety: The requested budget increase for professional services will enhance safety as it will allow the department to expand firefighter health and safety initiatives. These initiatives include Ready Rebound, which is a health-and-recovery program designed for first-responders and Fatigue Science which is wearable technology that measures firefighter fatigue and will aid in the department’s firefighter fatigue study.This increase will also allow for enhanced firefighter screening physicals, and the expansion of mental health and wellness programming. Supplies and Materials-Safety and Sustainability: The requested budget increase for supplies and materials will allow the department to continue to replace aging fire hose and aging tools and equipment, which will allow the department to implement new technology for gas detectors and power tools. Prioritized Budget Increases Priority 1: The proposed 2026 budget includes $831,921 in salaries/wages/benefits increases. Continuing to make progress on the department’s staffing plan is the department’s number one priority in the 2026 budget. Priority 2: The proposed budget includes a $103,028 increase for Professional Services. Some of the cost increases in professional services are contractual; the remainder of the request will allow the department to enhance technology and firefighter health and wellness initiatives. Priority 3: The proposed budget includes a $16,550 increase in Supplies and Materials. Increases related to supplies and materials are directly related to equipment that is due for replacement. These items could be deferred if necessary, but are important to maintain department operations.

The building was constructed in 2020 and designed with a pitched south-facing, solar-ready rooftop to ensure solar panels could be installed in the future. The building's average annual energy usage is 40,587 kWh. Solar System Installation Quotes City staff received four quotes for installing a solar system on the Wakefield Park Community Building. The estimates range from $70,125 to $88,510 for solar systems that would generate 28.05 kW to 33.44 kW of energy production, for an annual energy offset of 95% to 112%. City staff have reviewed each proposal closely for system size, cost per watt, estimated energy production, equipment quality, overall cost, type of system, warranties, and company reputation. Staff determined that the proposal from Minnesota Solar would be the best value. This proposal includes the following details: Installation of 66 all-black in color solar panels and 3 inverters on the pitched roof portion of the building 30-year solar panel warranty, 12-year inverter warranty, 10-year workmanship warranty $70,125.00 overall cost $3,506.25 safe harbor down payment by December 31, 2025 28.05 kW of energy production, which covers 95% of the building’s energy use Solar on Public Buildings Grant The Minnesota Solar on Public Buildings grant program is available to local units of government for solar systems on publicly owned and operated buildings. The grant will cover the cost of energy systems up to 40 kW or 120 percent of the building’s annual energy consumption. Maplewood would be eligible for a grant up to 60 percent of the solar system cost, not to exceed $72,000. If the City is successful with the grant application, it could reduce the City’s cost by $42,075. During this year’s Round 3 of the Solar on Public Buildings grant program, City staff submitted a solar readiness assessment for the Wakefield Park Community Building. On July 28, 2025, the Minnesota Department of Commerce notified the City that the building passed the readiness assessment and invited the City to submit a full application for the project. Full applications are due by November 14, 2025, with a response to the grant application within two weeks for the project to begin as soon as possible. Council Packet Page Number 166 of 365 J1 Federal Investment Tax Credit The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) offers a 30% tax credit for qualified commercial solar installations with recent changes introducing stricter deadlines and compliance requirements. To qualify for the ITC and meet the new deadlines, the City must submit a 5% safe harbor deposit and have a binding solar system contract and delivery milestones by December 31, 2025. If this is done, Maplewood must begin the project by mid-2026. The estimated 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit amount that the City would be eligible for is $21,037.50 If the City is awarded the 60% Solar on Public Buildings Grant and is eligible for 30% ITC, the total cost to the City would be the remaining 10% - $7,012.50. Comprehensive Plan Energy and Climate Goals The 2040 Comprehensive Plan includes climate and energy goals in the Sustainability Chapter to include: Goal 1: The City will follow the state energy goal guidelines of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 20 percent of the City’s 2015 baseline levels by 2050 (an 80 percent reduction). The City will establish interim goals every 5 to 10 years to ensure City emission reductions track against the primary goal outlined above, and to adjust policies and strategies as needed. Future interim goals will be established by the City at the completion of the first interim timeframe. Goal 2: The City will encourage and support renewable energy. The City will obtain a minimum of 50 percent of all electric energy from renewable sources by 2040. This includes having a minimum of 20 percent in on-site solar photovoltaic generation within the City, with the balance being met through Xcel Energy’s 31.5 percent renewable portfolio requirement. City facilities will be powered by 100% renewables by 2040. Installation of solar systems on City buildings and facilities, such as the Wakefield Park Building, will help the City meet these goals. Summary To move forward with the solar project the City must sign the contract with Minnesota Solar, pay the 5% ITC safe harbor payment in the amount of $3,506.25 by December 31, 2025, and begin the project no later than mid-2026. This will ensure the City receives the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit for the project. To be eligible for the Solar on Public Buildings grant, the City must submit a full application by the deadline of November 14, 2025. If awarded the City will be awarded a grant for up to 60% of the solar system cost - $42,075.00.

No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0 J2 Financing source(s):Adopted BudgetBudget ModificationNew Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: N/A Strategic Plan Relevance: Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship Integrated CommunicationOperational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on September 16, 2025. The initial 60-day review deadline for the land use-relateddecisions is November 15, 2025. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city is allowed to take an additional 60 days if necessary to complete the review. The initial 120-day deadline for the subdivision application is January 14, 2026. The city may not extend the subdivision review timeline without the applicant’s approval. Background: In 2019, Ramsey County announced the closure of the Ponds at Battle Creek golf course. In 2020 and 2021, Ramsey County and the City of Maplewood collaborated on a community engagement process to review potential development scenarios for this property. Building on thisgroundwork, Ramsey County identifieda potential developerand ultimately approveda purchase agreement with DR Horton to develop the property. DR Horton’sproposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) will include a total of 206 dwelling units, 133 of which are proposed single-family homes on two different lot sizes (55’ and 65’ lots) and 73 of which are attached townhomes in four- and six-unit blocks. Each unit has an attached two- or three-car garage. The proposed project's total lot area is 92.23 acres. The site is located along Century Avenue South, between Linwood Avenue East and Lower Afton Road East. The single-family homes are on the northern end of the parcel, with access via Lower Afton Road and Century Avenue South. The townhomes are in the southern portion of the parcel, with access via Linwood Avenue East. Due to wetlands being preserved on the site, vehicle access is not permitted between the two parts ofthe development. The proposed development includes a 1.73-acre public park and 1.80 miles of public paved trail. The plan above shows the layout of the proposed development. Council Packet Page Number 178 of 365 J2 Neighborhood Meetings The applicant held six neighborhood meetings on August 15 and 21, October 24, November 21, and December 12 and 18, 2024. The applicant has indicated that the Century Ponds plans have evolved due to the feedback received during these meetings. Environmental Assessment Worksheet Since the neighborhood meetings and the current project review, an Environmental Assessment Worksheet for the proposed development has been developed. On August 25, 2025, the city council adopted a resolution stating that additional environmental review was not required. The elements identified during this process are incorporated in this review. Comprehensive Plan Amendment The 2040 Comprehensive Plan currently guides the property as Park. The applicant is requesting that the city amend the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to guide the project area as Low Density Residential, which allows for certain residential uses and has a density range of 2.6 to 6.0 units per net acre. The gross density of the proposed project is 2.23 units per acre. However, Metropolitan Council density calculation guidance allows for wetlands, public parks and open space areas, and arterial road rights-of-way to be netted out from gross area. The proposed development includes 42.57 acres of outlots with public conservation easements, wetlands, and a public park. This results in a net site acreage of 49.66 acres for a net density of 4.15 units per acre. This falls within the 2040 Comprehensive Plan requirements for low-density residential. The city will hold the public conservation easements, while maintenance responsibilities will initially fall to the developer and later transition to the homeowner’s association. The roles and responsibilities will be detailed in both the homeowner’s association documents and the developer’s agreement. A developer’s agreement will be created and will be approved by the city council along with the final plat. Rezoning to a Planned Unit Development The requirements of a PUD are found in Sec. 44-312 of the Maplewood City Code. The applicant is proposing to rezone the entire property to PUD. The property is currently zoned Farm. As this is not an underlying base residential district, the applicant proposes to use the R-1S Small-Lot Single- Dwelling District and R-3C Residence District as a guide for the standards set in the PUD. Lot and Site Dimensions Lot area and setbacks in a PUD may differ from the base zoning district; however, perimeter setbacks shall conform to the requirements of the base zoning district. The proposed setbacks for the 55’ lot single-family homes, 65’ lot single-family homes, and townhouses are outlined in the tables below, alongside the base district requirements. The applicant is proposing reduced lot size standards for the single-family homes compared to the R-1S district. With the reduced lot sizes for some of the properties, the minimum setbacks still align with the intent of the R-1S district. The proposed setbacks for the townhouses align with the R-3C district. Additionally, the nearest existing residential development is buffered by the open space area in the development, which includes wetlands, public walking trails, and a public park. Therefore, staff do not have any concerns allowing the proposed lot dimensions and setbacks.

The design of the proposed subdivision is influenced by the existing conditions of the site. The proposed neighborhoods do not connect to the west because of the wetlands and lack of “stubs” in the existing neighborhood. The wetlands also limit the connectivity between the northern single-family neighborhood and southern townhomes. The proposed development provides for separate circulation and access in the northern portion, where the single-family homes are, and the southern portion, where the townhouses are. The proposed street network provides access to the single-family units via Lower Afton Road and Century Avenue South. The streets in the single-family portion of the development will be public and dedicated to the City. The plat dedicates 60 feet of right-of-way with a 28-foot street. The townhouses are accessed via Linwood Ave. The roads within the townhouse portion of the development are private and will be maintained by an HOA. The plat establishes a 50-foot outlot for the right-of-way with a 26-foot street. Initial plans proposed additional access to the townhouse development via Century Avenue South. A turnaround has been added at the end of the cul-de-sac. The city did communicate that if preferred the townhouse development have access from Century Avenue South, however, Washington and Ramsey counties required that this access be removed. A copy of the letter from the city to Ramsey County is attached to this report. Council Packet Page Number 180 of 365 J2 City Code requires a minimum of two spaces per single-family dwelling. Townhouses are required to have two spaces per unit, with at least one enclosed space. Each single-family unit has an attached two- or three-car garage, and the townhouses have attached two-car garages. This meets the parking code requirements. There are 28 guest parking spaces in the townhouse development. There are an additional six public parking spaces in the cul-de-sac adjacent to the proposed park, which is located in the northern part of the property. On-street parking is allowed along one side of the street in both the northern single-family portion of the development and in the townhouse portion to the south. Before the final plat is reviewed, the applicant will be required to submit an exhibit indicating the location of the no-parking areas and where the mailboxes will be located. The applicant will be required to incur any costs associated with posting no-parking signs. Traffic The applicant has provided a traffic impact analysis for the adjacent roadway systems. According to the documentation provided, only minor impacts on the adjacent roadways are anticipated. Intersections are expected to perform at the same levels of service (level A). After fielding concerns from area residents along Linwood Avenue, the applicant performed additional observations and analysis for the Linwood Avenue at Century Avenue south intersection. This analysis concluded that minimal vehicle queuing occurs during AM and PM peak hours at this intersection and that no modifications are needed to accommodate the proposed development. In order to get a second opinion of the potential traffic impacts from the proposed development, the City consulted with Bolton and Menk, Inc. to analyze the traffic impacts. Bolton and Menk’s analysis concurred with the analysis submitted by the developer, noting that the development will have minor impacts on the adjacent roadway, which has adequate capacity, with intersections maintaining the same levels of relative service. Please also refer to the attached report dated September 3, 2025, from the City’s consultant, Bolton and Menk, Inc. Building Height PUDs allow building height to vary from the underlying base district standards if requested by the applicant. The applicant has not requested flexibility. The R-1S district allows a maximum height of 35 ft. As part of the building permit process, building height for the single-family homes will be confirmed. Townhouse building heights will be considered in the design review. Open Space Within the R-3C district, a minimum of 35% of the development must be retained for and devoted to green space. Green space is defined in the code as “the area(s) of the site which is not covered by paved surfaces, the principal structure, any accessory structures, and other structures like decks, pools, pergolas, etc. Green space can include landscaping, planting beds, fencing, retaining walls, and similar improvements.” When considering the southern portion of the proposed development where the townhouse development is, the green space calculations meet the requirements of the R- 3C district.

The proposed development has a variety of open space areas, including natural areas, wetlands, ponds, and a park, which will be dedicated to the City. The table below has acreage for each type of open space and total area across the entire site, including the townhouse and single-family home portions.

It is recommended that the applicant includes trees at the site of the proposed park, particularly on the south side of Outlot B, to provide shade for the site in the future. If possible, saving tree #1187, a 23” white oak, is recommended as it would be a significant loss on the site. As it is located on the edge of the grading plan, there may be a way to work around the tree. There are some concerns about the proposed tree list. Northern Pin Oak and Red Oak are highly susceptible to oak wilt, and they make up 67 trees (167.5 caliper inches) and 11.6% of the proposed tree cover. A further 33 trees are swamp white oak, which is less susceptible, but still the same genus. The applicant is encouraged to replace some of the oaks with climate resilient species like Kentucky Coffeetree and to further diversify the plant list by replacing some of the many maple trees with other species like Blue Beech, Ironwood, Pagoda Dogwood, and/or Serviceberry if smaller and/or understory species are allowable in planting areas outside of streetscapes. The code requires screening where automobile headlights would be directed into residential windows. The small parking lot in Outlot F on the southeastern side of the development will require screening. Headlight screening should be considered at all parking areas, even where not facing windows, and wherever proposed uses may be impacted by glare, including the parking spaces facing the park’s basketball court. The landscape plans do not show preserved canopy extents in all locations; canopy extents are shown on the east side but not on the west side. This would be helpful for evaluating shade cover along the proposed trail system. It is encouraged that the applicant consider trees at certain intervals along the trail system so that the trail is not just a full-sun trail experience through the development. As there will be no shade on the trail through the wetland areas, providing some shade elsewhere would be good. Council Packet Page Number 182 of 365 J2 The Environmental Assessment Worksheet created for this site identified an ideal time for tree removal to minimize the effects on wildlife. The applicant will be required to adhere to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service guidelines regarding timeframes for tree removal. Exterior Design Approval The exterior design and appearance of all single-family homes in this PUD must be approved by the director of community development. The review is required to ensure the exteriors of the homes are not similar in design. No single-unit home will be constructed with the same exterior facade as a home immediately adjacent to it or across the street. In addition, all single-unit homes and townhomes shall be constructed of building materials that mitigate the noise from the adjacent shooting range. Construction Management Plan Given that this project will be occurring over the course of multiple years, having a construction management plan in place will be integral. Staff is recommending that the applicant be required to submit a Construction Management Plan for approval by the City's Public Works Director. This plan should include, at a minimum, the following items: DR Horton/Developer Project Contact info for residents to call/email with questions and complaints. Hours and days of construction activity. Outline of project communication to the adjacent neighborhood, which includes: o Up-to-date project website that allows emails to be sent out when updates are made. o Option to receive updates for those without internet access. Construction traffic routing. o Including prohibiting construction traffic west of the site along Linwood Avenue. Outline of how demolition and excavated material will be handled and stored. A dust mitigation plan. Signage The applicant intends to include monument signage as part of this development. These signs shall meet the city’s sign code. In addition, the signage will be required to be landscaped around the sign’s base and designed to be consistent with the development’s building materials and colors. Wetland Buffer Variance The applicant is seeking a variance to allow grading within the minimum required wetland buffer, totaling 79,154 square feet (1.82 acres). The applicant states that the impact is to remove existing trails, create new trails, and create a stormwater system that will enhance the overall functionality and aesthetics of the wetlands on site. Per the Wetland Delineation, the wetlands on the property are classified as Manage B, Manage C, and Water Quality Management Pond (WMP). The City of Maplewood requires the minimum and average buffer widths as follows: J2 Wetland Management Minimum Buffer Width Average Buffer Width Class Manage A 75 ft 100 ft Manage B 50 ft 75 ft Manage C50 ft50 ft Below are the proposed wetland buffer average widths, total areas, and requested variance widths and areas for the wetlands in the development site.

The City of Maplewood and Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District designates it as a Manage A class wetland. Per the submitted plans, encroachments within the wetland buffer that would be included in the variance include paved bituminous trails, retaining walls, patios, and turf grass in the townhouse portion of the development. Required Variance Findings: 1. The variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. 2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. 3. The applicant establishes practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance. Practical difficulties mean: (1) the proposed use is reasonable, (2) the need for a variance is caused by circumstances unique to the property, not created by the property owner, (3) the proposal will not alter the essential character of the locality Staff reviewed the applicant’s justification for the wetland variance and finds the request meets the required findings to approve a variance. 1. The proposed development meets the intent of city ordinance standards in the PUD zoning district, R-1S, and R-3C districts and is consistent with the goals of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. 2. The request is reasonable. The proposed improvements within the wetland buffer enhance stormwater management and increase public access to the development's natural areas. The site has several wetlands, and the proposed development will continue to protect and Council Packet Page Number 184 of 365 J2 enhance themwhile creating a public amenity via a trail system that allows the public to enjoy the natural landscapes on the site. 3. The existing conditions on this property are unique and not caused by the property owner. 4. Overall, the proposed development of this site is in character with the surrounding uses, which include single-family residential areas. The preservation of 47% of the total site as green space provides a natural buffer between the new development and established neighborhoods and adds a public amenity to the community that is accessible to the existing neighborhood. Preliminary Plat In order to develop this property, the city needs to approve a preliminary plat and a final plat for the site. The PUD process allows for flexibility from the required minimum lot sizes outlined in City code. Aside from the specific flexibilities allowed for by the PUD as established in the PUD ordinance, the proposed preliminary plat meets the minimum subdivision standards and is a developable lot. Design Review – Townhomes Elevations Each building is two stories and approximately 30 feet tall, meeting height requirements. The proposed building materials include lap siding, trim, board and batten, shake siding, and stone. The buildings will range from having three to six units. The front facades for the units at the ends of each building will include the lap siding, shake siding, and stone. The front facades for the internal units of each building will have lap siding, board and batten and stone wainscotting. The side and rear elevations of all buildings are proposed to include lap siding. In staff’s initial review, it was recommended the application revise the side and rear elevations of each building to add more architectural elements to improve the aesthetics of the buildings. This included adding additional windows on the second floor of the side elevations and to wrap the stone wainscotting around to the rear elevation. During the community design review board’s (CDRB) review of the townhouse project, the board recommended that the applicant be required to revise the elevations to ensure that between 20-30 percent of the building’s elevations were finished with masonry and the use of varying materials within each elevation, to ensure that the materials are not continuous throughout all units within a single townhome building. The applicant has submitted revised building elevations that meet the requirements of both staff’s and the CDRB’s review of the project. The CDRB had also recommended that the revised elevations be brought back to the group for a final review, with the thought that this would occur after the city council’s review of the project. Given that the applicant has already made the recommended revisions, which can be found as attachments to this report, staff recommends that the city council give final approval of the design plans for the townhouse project. Floor Area and Indoor Storage The minimum habitable floor area for each R-3C multiple dwelling must be at least 580 to 1,040 square feet, depending on the unit’s bedroom mix. The applicant’s plans meet this requirement. J2 New Public Park As part of this development, a new 1.73-acre public park will be built. The plans for this park are being developed by the city’s parks and natural resources division, with oversight provided by the park and recreation commission. The city’s parks and recreation commission reviewed the current park concept and provided feedback to staff to incorporate into the final designs. The city council will approve the plans for the parks in a separate action. All details related to the park’s construction and financing will be detailed in the developer’s agreement, which will be brought back to the city council for consideration. Department Comments Engineering Please see Jon Jarosch’s engineering report, dated September 4, 2025, attached to this report. In addition, Bolton & Menk reviewed the development for sanitary sewer, stormwater, and traffic impacts, and that review is also attached to this report. Environmental Please see Shann Finwall and Katelyn Bergstrom’s environmental report, dated October 14, 2025, attached to this report. Public Safety Please see Brian Bierdeman’s comments, attached to this report. Commission Review September 16, 2025: The community design review board reviewed this project and recommended approval. The design board did add a condition that the applicant be required to revise the building elevations to show varying materials within each elevation and to add additional masonry. The applicant has submitted revised elevations that meet this requirement. September 16, 2025: The planning commission held a public hearing, reviewed this project and recommended approval. Five residents spoke during the public hearing. October 8, 2025: The environmental and natural resources commission reviewed this project and recommended approval. October 15, 2025: The parks and recreation commission reviewed the concept plans for the public park to be constructed as part of this development and provided feedback to staff. Citizen Comments Staff sent public hearing notices to the 220 surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the proposed site. Staff received the two comments below. 1. As usual, the voices of those of us living on the East end of Linwood are being ignored. By your own count we have 1400 vehicles a day using Linwood and most of those travel at speeds in excess of 30 mph. I don't know what analysis was done that came to the Council Packet Page Number 186 of 365 J2 conclusion that Linwood can handle more traffic. It just shows that those of us who live on Linwood are not a priority to the City. The city has made so many decisions that have reduced the value of my property at 2622 Linwood. When we purchased the property in 1982, this was a quiet street that we felt safe having our kids' bike or walk our dogs on the street. That is no longer true. The shoulders are narrow, and the speeding cars make the street scary to use. Now the townhouse development will potentially add more traffic to Linwood. Just a review, when we bought the property in 1982 Linwood was considered a neighborhood feeder street. The mayor at the time said there would be no more development in South Maplewood until every property had city sewer and water. The first concession by the city was to give New Century variances to vacate an East West Street. to allow greater density in the development. The council was set to reject the variance and someone in the audience said, "aren't you concerned about a lawsuit" and the whole council change their vote. When I tried to object, I was thrown out of the meeting by the City Attorney. Ultimately this added traffic to Linwood. Then the Dahl development was given variances to increase density and their only means for getting in and out is to use Linwood. The Lake Road exchange was the big one. The residents of Linwood got nothing. We still don't have City water or sewer. we are being assessed for storm sewer that we don't have, and we were assessed for a road overlay which was a joke. I asked for the report that supposedly showed that our property value would increase. The city attorney would not show me the report. Then I asked for the process to appeal the assessment, and the city couldn't tell me how to do it. I am convinced that the city just doesn't care about us. There are seven properties on the East end of Linwood without city water or sewer. I am sure that if they were asked if these utilities were wanted, they were told they would have to pay for them. I believe that is a city responsibility and just compensation for all the negative decisions that have affected us. I want sewer before I need to put in a new drain field. – John Gregerson, 2622 Linwood Avenue East 2. I am a resident of 2680 Linwood Ave E and have safety concerns with the proposed development. As residents facing the proposed street, the increased traffic on a road where speed and reckless driving is a constant concern, and the absence of space for pedestrians make me worried about my safety, my family's safety and the safety of our community. Linwood Ave E is noted to be capable of handling additional traffic, however the human conditions of distracted driving, speeding, and a lack of concern will increase when an additional 73 townhomes are funneled on the streets. I have personally seen cars swerve for pedestrians as well as myself when I walk my dogs down Linwood. There is not enough space for more careless and reckless drivers without further disruption to current residents. Rather, the entrance into the townhomes should be located off Century Ave. The temporary solution to post a speed trailer is topical, at best, to fix the issue while also again eliminating walkways for pedestrians and cyclists on that side of the street. Increasing traffic will surely cause increased issues here. J2 Lastly, overall, the city appears committed to securing D.R Horton to develop the land, but it would be my hope that the city would listen to the neighbors and immediate residents of the adjacent properties before making swift decisions. – Nicholas Hager, 2680 Linwood Avenue East Reference Information Site Description Campus Size: 92.23 acres Existing Land Use: Vacant, former golf course Surrounding Land Uses North: Lower Afton Road and Ramsey County Correctional Facility East: Century Avenue, multi-family buildings, medical clinic and single-family homes – these uses are in the City of Woodbury South: Linwood Avenue and single-family homes West: Single-family homes and Saint Paul Police Training Facility Planning Existing Land Use: Park – Proposed to be Amended to Low Density Residential Existing Zoning: Farm – Proposed to be Amended to Planned Unit Development Attachments: 1.Comprehensive Plan Amendment Resolution 2.Ordinance Amending Chapter 44 Zoning of the Maplewood City Code to Establish PUD-01 3.Resolution Authorizing Publication of Ordinance by Title and Summary 4.Wetland Buffer Variance Resolution 5.Preliminary Plat Resolution 6.Design Review Resolution 7.Overview Map 8.2040 Future Land Use Map 9.Zoning Map 10.Wetland Map 11.Applicant’s Narrative 12.Site Plan/Preliminary Plat 13.Wetland Buffer Grading Exhibit 14.Building Plans for 55-Foot Lots 15.Building Plans for 65-Foot-Lots 16.Design Plans for Townhomes 17.Color Packages for Townhomes 18.Public Safety Comments, from Brian Bierdeman 19.Engineering Report, dated September 4, 2025 20.Development Review Report from Bolton & Menk 21.Letter to Ramsey County Public Works, dated February 28, 2025 22.Washington County Public Works Comments, dated November 26, 2024 23.Environmental Report, dated October 14, 2025 24.CDRB Minutes, dated September 16, 2025 25.Planning Commission Minutes, dated September 16, 2025 26.Draft Environmental and Natural Resources Commission Minutes, dated October 8, 2025 Council Packet Page Number 188 of 365 J2 27.Presentation Slides 28.Applicant’s Plans (separate attachment) J2, Attachment 1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT RESOLUTION Resolution approving the comprehensive plan amendment re-guiding a portion of the property located at the southwestern corner of the intersection of Lower Afton Road East and Century Ave South from Park to Low Density Residential.

Horton is pleased to submit thisrequest for approval of Century Ponds. The proposed development consists of133 single family homes & 73 townhomes, public park & trails and HOA-maintained open space on approximately 92 acres. The site is located on the former Ponds at Battle Creek Golf Course currently owned by Ramsey County. Surrounding land uses include St. Paul Police Training Facility & lower density residential to the west and south, Lower Afton Road & the Ramsey County Correctional Facility to the north, and Century Avenue & high-density residential uses within Woodbury city limits to the east. The goals and objectives in creating this new neighborhood include the following: •A neighborhood layout that is sensitive to the existing conditions, including multiple wetlands, wildlife habitat, cart path/trail system, availability of utilities, topography, ponding and drainage patterns. •Design a walkable environment with sidewalks and trails. •Preservation of trees and buffer to existing homes. •Creation of a city-owned public park. •Provide home styles and pricing attainable to various buyer groups that complement the surrounding neighborhood. This application includes multiple requests for approval, including Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Preliminary Plat, Rezoning, Planned Unit Development (PUD), Community Design Review Board (CDRB), Wetland Buffer Easement Vacation and Wetland Buffer Variance. EXISTING CONDITIONS Trees. Generally, the site has minimal tree coverage, except along the westerly boundary. The goal was to preserve this natural buffer between the existing and proposed neighborhoods. J2, Attachment 11 Wetlands. A wetland investigation took place fall 2023 and a Notice of Decision was received from the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District May 7, 2024. It was determined that there is 10.55 acres of wetlands. The proposed plan shows no impacts to the delineated wetlands. As shown on the plans, there exists a Wetland Buffer Easement in favor of the City of Maplewood around the large wetland in the southwest portion of the site. DR Horton requests this be vacated, as the wetland buffereasement description does not align with the approved wetland delineation.As described, the buffer currently encroaches into planned townhome Lots 18 through 22, Block 8 of the preliminary plat. Ecological Study. An ecological study was completed to locate and quantify the quality and locations of natural areas within the site. The study determined that there is approximately 9.5 acres of existing native area. This is less than the 14 acres that was being managed by the Watershed and golf course prior to its closing. This reduction could be attributed to lack of formal management and maintenance of the natural areas for the last 4 – 5 years resulting in invasive species taking over the native plants. Traffic. A trip generation memorandum was prepared by Alliant in October 2024 to review the proposed accesses onto Century Avenue, Lower Afton Roadand Linwood Avenue. The report summarized that the roads have sufficient capacity for this development. Washington and Ramsey Counties continue to review the access points. As shown on the preliminary plans, left turn lanes are proposed on Lower Afton and Century. At the December neighborhood meetings, multiple residents commented about existing traffic on Linwood. There is concern that the townhome units will generate additional backups for vehicles heading toward Century Ave, as well as cut through traffic from Century onto the private townhome road (Waterleaf Way). Residents suggest that access not be available onto Linwood from the townhomes. Per City direction and for emergency access, the access is shown on the preliminary plans. Based on the above comments, further review of the Linwood Ave/Century Ave intersection was completed. No stacking issues were observed with the current conditions. COMPREHESIVE PLAN AMENDMENT Per the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the site is guided for Park. DR Horton is requesting the property be re-guided to low density residential use. The residential use will not only create much needed new housing, but also open space, including park and trail, for Council Packet Page Number 210 of 365 J2, Attachment 11 public use.

It is our understanding that capacity and pressure are adequate to meet the needs of this new neighborhood. Watermain is proposed to be extended from the existing service stubs on Lower Afton Road, Mailand Road right-of-way and Linwood Avenue to create a looped system. Sanitary sewer is proposed to be connected to the existing stub in the northwest corner of the property to serve the entire site. An additional option being explored is connecting into the City of Woodbury’s sanitary stub located in the southeast corner (off Century Ave) to serve the townhomes. Discussions between Maplewood, Woodbury & DR Horton are in process. By splitting the sanitary sewer into north and south service areas, it will lead to less construction activities around the central wetland area, allowing for shallower sanitary sewer in the north portion of the site. It will also help with future maintenance. J2, Attachment 11 At the August neighborhood meetings, residents commented about school capacity concerns. As such, DR Horton met with ISD #622 Superintendent Christine Osorio who indicated the school district has capacity for new families. She was enthusiastic about the opportunity of new homes and new families in Maplewood. PREL IMINARY PLAT, REZONING & PUD The Century Ponds Preliminary Plat proposes 206 total homesites. This includes 133 detached single-family homes and 73 townhomes. With a site acreage of 92.23, the overall (gross) density is 2.24 units per acre. The net site area (site area minus wetlands) is 81.68acres, resulting in a net density of 2.52 units per acre. Note: this is different than the Metropolitan Council calculation, which includes, ponding, public trails, public park and conservation area. There are two lot sizes proposed for the single-family homes. The 55’ wide lots fit DR Horton’s Select Home plans and the 65’ wide lots are for the Tradition Series Homes. The diversity in house styles will appeal to a larger group of potential buyers at varying st time, move-up, move-down).Variety in streetscape will be home buyingstages (i.e. 1 achieved by the multiple elevation and floorplan options. There are approximately 7 plans with 3 to 4 elevation options per plan in each of the single-family series. The following is a summary of each house type: Tradition Series Homes (65’ Wide lots) o 55 total homes o 1- & 2-story homes o 1,800 to 3,100 square feet o 3-car garage o Foundation types – full basement, walkout, lookout o Anticipated pricing – upper $500,000s to low $700,000s Select Homes (55’ Wide Lots) o 78 total homes o 1- & 2-story homes o 1,500 to 2,600 square feet o 2- & 3-car garages o Foundation types – slab-on-grade, walkout, lookout o Anticipated pricing – mid $400,000s to low $500,000s Townhomes (26’ Wide) o 73 total units Council Packet Page Number 212 of 365 J2, Attachment 11 o 2-story units o 1,665 square feet o 2-car garage o 3-bedroom plans o Foundation type – slab-on-grade o Anticipated pricing – upper $300,000s to low $400,000s o HOA to maintained building exteriors & grounds o 32 guest parking spaces Due to the wetlands, the site is naturally divided into north and south sections. The north portion which contains all the detached single-family homes is accessed from Lower Afton Road and Century Ave. The south portion contains the townhomes with access to Century Ave and Linwood Ave. This request includes approval to rezone the property from Farm to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The PUD designation will allow flexibility within the City’s zoning code to create a neighborhood that not only attracts buyers at different price points, but also provides them with desirable outdoor public spacesand areas of environmental conservation. In the case of Century Ponds, reduced setbacks and smaller lot sizes allows the preservation of wetlands, the creation of expansive contiguous natural areas, a meandering trail system and public park. The below table compares the R-1S Zoning Ordinance to the requested PUD standards.

The trails and sidewalks offer connectivity to the surrounding neighborhoods and more importantly to the public open spaces, including ponds, wetlands, conservation areas & park. The goal is to repurpose portions of the golf path and wetland crossings where feasible. The trails are shown in outlots that will be owned and maintained by a homeowners’ association. DR Horton proposes to dedicate an easement in favor of the public over all trails in Century Ponds. Th e proposed public park is nestled among the wetlands near the western site boundary and accessible from the trail system. As shown on the preliminary plans, the park elements include playgrounds, half basketball court, picnic shelter, seating areaand an informal open play area. DR Horton will work with the Parks Department to create an attractive space that nearby residents can enjoy. Council Packet Page Number 214 of 365 J2, Attachment 11 The proposed Century Ponds includes a plan to re-establish, enhance and create new native areas. In all, the site will contain about 27 acres of natural area in addition to the 14.5 acres of wetlands & ponds. This means that nearly 50% of the site is native habitat, including vegetated areas, ponds and wetlands. In October 2024, Horton met with Friends of Maplewood Nature to consider priorities for the natural areas. The discussion centered on how to improve upon the Rusty Patch Bumble Bee and other animal habitats. It was agreed that the most valuable area to focus on is the large centrally located wetland complex. As such, the proposed plan creates native habitat around the wetlands, as well as other smaller pockets in the northeast & southeast portions of the site. Furthermore, a greenway corridor along the westerly boundary, not only creates a larger buffer for the existing residents, but also additional foraging and habitat area, as well as connectivity to Battle Creek Regional Park northwest of this site. Horton plans to work with Prairie Restorations (or a similar company) in finalizing a planting plan that encourages the Rusty Patch Bumble Bee and other species of wildlife. As the planting plan is further developed, Horton will seek feedback from the Friends of Maplewood Nature and the Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed. HOA & CONSERVATION EASEMENT For long-term maintenance and management of the native vegetation areas, DR Horton proposes that a Master Homeowners’ Association (HOA) be created. It is anticipated that the native areas will be contained in outlots owned by the HOA. The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (which is recorded against all properties) would specify the tasks for the ongoing maintenance of these natural areas, which would be a common expense among all the homes and townhomes in Century Ponds. Additionally, a Conservation Easement would be created so these areas remain natural in perpetuity. The Conservation Easement would be in favor of a public entity (i.e. the city or watershed) to ensure the HOA is completing tasks as required to maintain healthy vegetation for viable habitats. The townhomes units would be part of a sub-homeowners association (under the Master HOA). Townhomes are setup as a common interest community. Here, the association would be responsible for building exteriors, private roads and grounds maintenance (mowing & snow removal). The single-family homes would either have their own sub-association or be direct members of the Master HOA. This will be determined at the final plat stage. J2, Attachment 11 PUBLIC BENEFIT In return for relaxing the zoning standards, the following public benefits are realized in Century Ponds: Housing Options – Multiple housing options that are achievable to a wider range of buyers. Trails – Meandering public trail system providing connections to surrounding neighborhoods and most importantly to public open spaces. Land Dedication – Horton will dedicate the public park to the City of Maplewood. Park Dedication Fees – Horton to pay cash for park dedication. Public Park – Horton to construct the park withoutcredit to park dedication fees. Environmental Conservation – Creation of nearly 27 acres of native vegetation to enhance habitat for the existing wildlife, including the Rusty Patch Bumble Bee that can be enjoyed by all Maplewood residents & vistiors. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT As discussed at the July 8, 2024 City Council Workshop, public engagement was important in moving the project forward. DR Horton has hosted multiple meetings over the past 6 months to receive public feedback. Century ponds has evolved to the current proposed plan because of these meetings. Below is the list of the neighborhood meetings: 8/15/24 & 8/21/24 - Neighborhood Meetings o Invitations were sent to owners within about 1,500 feet of the project boundaries. NOTE: city public notices only require 500 feet from project boundaries. o Approximately 80 to 90 attendees at each meeting. o Feedback included concerns about the closing of the golf course, environmental impacts& open space, density, home prices, increased taxes for existing residents, school capacity, traffic impacts, public accessibility. 10/24/24 – Friends of Maplewood Meeting o Identified areas of focus for native vegetation; suggested greenway corridor o Agreed to continue discussions as Horton gets further into planning process. 11/21/24 – Meeting with Abutting Neighbors (shared property lines w/site) o Approximately 25 attendees. Council Packet Page Number 216 of 365 J2, Attachment 11 o Purpose of meeting was to understand any current engineering issues (i.e. drainage) with existing homes. o Horton to meet with abutting neighbors prior to development start. 12/12/24 & 12/18/24 – Neighborhood Meetings o Invitations were sent to the same list as the August meetings (approx. 1,500 radius) o Approximately 20 to 30 people attended each meeting o Purpose was to present the revised plan o Feed back included appreciation for changes, tax impacts, public accessibility to park & trail, technical concerns – traffic (especially on Linwood), water capacity & water pressure, stormwater routing & watershed review process COMPLETED STUDIES The below have been completed to date: Geotechnical Review – March 2024; Test Pits – Dec 2024 Wetland Delineation – November 2023; Updated April 2024 based on comments from TEP review; Approved May 2024 Ecological Study – July 2024 Sound Study – July 2024 Tree Survey – Fall of 2023 Trip Generation Memo – Oct 2024 Linwood Ave Traffic Review – Jan 2025 Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) – Aug 25, 2025 City Council Negative Declaration Archeological Survey – Sept/Oct 2025 PROPOSED SCHEDULE Spring/Summer 2025 Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) Fall/Winter 2025 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request Preliminary Plat, Rezoning & PUD Requests Community Design Review Board J2, Attachment 11 Spring/Summer 2026 Final Plat Begin Site Work – Grading, Utilities & Streets Winter 2026 Begin Home Construction Council Packet Page Number 218 of 365 J2, Attachment 12 SITE PLAN OVERVIEW PRELIMINARY PLAT 15 CENTURY PONDS ( )CILBUP OWNIL A DO E EV 1 1 O 2 U 2 T L 3 O 3 T F4 4 5 Y 5 N 6 6 O 3 R I 1 T 7 C TOLTUO C 7 8 A Y WATERLEAF WAY U L 8 R LEGEND: N T N 99 OS I 10 10 N W O 11 11 E I C M 12 12 V I R E 13 1 O R 42 TOL L 14 F B 9 KCOL R T VIEW D 05 TOL O E 811617141531 2322212091 O F LB 8 KCO 10 N 1515 R 1616 1717 F TOLTUO WATERLEAF WAY 1818 P 1 6 TTT CCC FFF AAA EEE LLL RRR EEE 27TTTT AAAA 252524242323 2626 1 WWWW 2222 50 28 11 22 49 00 22 G TOLTUO 6 29 99 11 48 30 47 HONEY CIR 31 46 32OLTUO A T 45 3 33 1 4434 35 34 2436 CENTURY AVE S F TOLTUO 41 (PUBLIC) TOL 15 B 8 KCOL 04933837 TUO A TOL 1 2 (PUBLIC) POULIOT PKWY 3 4 1 O B TOLTU RAP 6 K 5 B A TOLTUO L O C K 6 3 7 VIEW C 13 8 S 12 (PUBLIC)U CENTURY CIR N F L CENTURY AVE S O W 9 E 11 R C T B L 10 A TOLTUO 11O 10 12 13C 14 K B 2 L O 15 C K 9 3 TSA A RE EV 16 8 T 17 E E 2 3 1R 4 T 5 S 6 7 M E T S 18E U L B KCOLB 7 6 B 19 L O 13 5 12C K 11 10 2 9 8 7 4 20 I DN GI O3 A EV (PUBLIC) PARKWOOD DR O A TOLTU 1 2 3 2 4 1 CLOVER STREET 5 6 B 7 L98 O CENTURY AVE S BLUESTEM STREET C K2 4 1 (PUBLIC) BLOCK 6 3 4 18 13 16151719 1418 12 11 10 5 VIEW B 17 CONEFLOWER AVE 6 16 7 1015 1413 1211 15 16 17 8 9 14 B L O C K 5 O A TOLTU D TOLTUO 9 B 8 13 L O 18C K 1 10 7 12 19 11 6 11 E TOLTUO 20 12 5 10 4 K 21 C5 O K L C 22 B 134 O 9 L B 23 BLUESTEM STREET 3 24 14 8 T E E R25 T S 15 R E V 2 O L26 7 C 16 17 1 6 18 19 20 5 21 22 4 B L O 23 C K 1 24 3 4 K C O L B 2 D ) C A I L O B U R P ( N O 1 T F A R E W O L OLTUO A T VIEW A J2, Attachment 13 LEGEND L O W E R A F T O N ( P R U B O L I A C ) D C L O V E R S T R E E T BLUESTEM STREET CONEFLOWER AVE (PUBLIC) BLUESTEM STREET CENTURY AVE S CLOVER STREET PARKWOOD DR (PUBLIC) E AV O IG D IN B L U E S T E M S T R E E T AVE ER AST T C R E W O CENTURY AVE S L F N CENTURY CIR U (PUBLIC) S 6 1 POULIOT PKWY (PUBLIC) (PUBLIC) CENTURY AVE S 1 3 HONEY CIR 6 W 1 A T E R L E A F C T 6 1 WATERLEAF WAY 10 1 WATERLEAF WAY 1 3 AVE E OOD LINW (PUBLIC) WETLAND BUFFER GRADING EXHIBIT MAPLEWOOD, MN Council Packet Page Number 220 of 365 J2, Attachment 14 Uif!Qjof esipsupo/dpn Uif!Qjof 5!Cfe!!}!!3/6!Cbui!!}!!3!Hbsbhf!!}!!2-:9:!Trvbsf!Gffu!!}!!3!Tupsjft Bnfsjdbo!Dmbttjd!BIfbsumboe!Dpuubhf!D Opsuifso!Dsbgutnbo!CQsbjsjf!E J2, Attachment 14 Uif!Qjof esipsupo/dpn SLAB ON GRADE PLAN MAIN LEVEL STANDARD UPPER LEVEL CONCRETE PATIO WIC OPTIONAL ELECTRIC FIREPLACE WIC LAUNDRY MECH ROOM PORCH OPTIONAL 3-CAR GARAGE BASEMENT PLAN UNFINISHED BASEMENTMAIN LEVEL STANDARD UPPER LEVEL FUTURE BEDROOM WIC FUTURE OPTIONAL FAMILY ROOM ELECTRIC WIC FIREPLACE LAUNDRY MECH UNFINISHED ROOM STORAGE MECH ROOM PORCH OPTIONAL 3-CAR GARAGE E/S/!Ipsupo!jt!bo!Frvbm!Ipvtjoh!Pqqpsuvojuz!Cvjmefs/!Xjui!cbtfnfou!gpvoebujpot-!xbufs!ifbufst!boe!IWBD!tztufnt!xjmm!cf!sfmpdbufe!up!uif!Ñstu!ps!tfdpoe!

The Maplewood Police Department has reviewed the potential impact of this development using both population-based ratios and workload-based projections from our recent staffing study. Staffing Impact While the development does not rise to the level of requiring an additional full-time officer, the added residents and calls for service equate to roughly 0.40–0.50 of a full-time officer’s workload. This means that nearly half of one officer’s annual capacity will be absorbed by this single project. Estimated Annual Cost To provide a balanced view, we considered both the cheapest (marginal costs only) and most expensive (per-capita equivalency) approaches. A middle-of-the-road estimate is the most practical for planning purposes: Calls for Service & Patrol Time: $60,000 Investigations: $15,000 Fuel, Vehicles & Equipment Wear: $10,000 Administrative & Support Costs: $5,000 Estimated Annual Total: $90,000 This estimate captures the operational impact and not the .50 of an FTE that would be needed. Conclusion Century Ponds will add measurable demand to police services. While the project alone does not justify an additional officer, it represents nearly half of an officer’s workload. The annual operating cost impact is estimated at $90,000. Recommendation Note the $90,000 annual cost impact and the 0.40–0.50 FTE equivalent workload as part of ongoing growth planning, while deferring any staffing increase until cumulative demand reaches the established thresholds.

This review does not constitute a final review of the plans, as the applicant will need to submit construction documents and calculations for final review. The following are engineering review comments on the design and act as conditions prior to issuing permits. Stormwater Management As this project disturbs more than ½ acre of land and creates more than 5,000 square-feet of new impervious surface, it is required to meet the City’s Stormwater Management Standards. This includes, among other things, ensuring post-construction runoff rates are equal to or less than existing rates along with infiltrating the equivalent of 1.1-inches of runoff over all impervious surface areas. The project proposes meeting the City’s standards through the installation of five wet ponds and two large filtration basins. Based on the information submitted, this project meets or exceeds the City’s requirements. Below are comments related to stormwater management on this site. Please also refer to comments on the attached memorandum dated August 25, 2025 from the City’s consultant, Bolton and Menk, Inc. These comments shall be addressed as well. 1) This project shall be submitted to the Ramsey-Washington Metropolitan Watershed District (RWMWD) for approval. All requirements of RWMWD shall be met. Council Packet Page Number 260 of 365 J2, Attachment 19 2)Draintile is proposed under portions oflots 15-24, Block 4. It is recommended that this draintile be shifted northerly to lie beneath the trail to protect it from future landscaping or fence installations by homeowners. 3)The low points in the backyard swale areas in Blocks 6, 7, & 8 shall have their 100-year HWL noted on the plan sheets. 4)The backyard swale areas in Blocks 6, 7, & 8 shall include draintile to aid in preventing standing water over time. 5)Cleanouts shall be installed every 100 feet on filtration basin draintile. These cleanouts shall include an iron cap to aid in locating in the future. 6)The low point in the roadway at the intersection of Honey Court and Waterleaf Way is within 1 foot of the slab elevation for the adjacent townhomes. The applicant shall review this area to ensure adequate freeboard is provided to meet City and RWMWD requirements. 7)Overflow control structure 800 is shown having draintile from the filtration basin at an elevation of 1008.84 and an outlet pipe elevation of 1015.00. As currently configured, the draintile would be non-functional. The applicant shall review this configuration and revise accordingly to ensure proper function of the filtration basin. 8)A flared-end section shall be installed on the overflow pipe for the 900 series of storm sewer in Pond 4. Please adjust the plans accordingly. 9)A flared-end section shall be installed on the overflow pipe for the 300 series of storm sewer in Pond 5. Please adjust the plans accordingly. 10)A flared-end section shall be installed on the overflow pipe leading to OCS 609 in Pond 3.Please adjust the plans accordingly. 11)FES’s 612, 614, 616, 802, 804, & 806 show outlet velocities more than 20 feet per second. Outlet velocities more than 10 feet per second are likely to promote scour and damage the downstream filtration basins. The applicant shall reconfigure these outlets to reduce velocities and the potential for scour. 12)SAFL Baffles shall be installed in all sump manholes to aid in sediment removal and the long-term protection of downstream ponds and filtration basins. 13)Pipe series 1100 has been included to provide an overflow system for the wetland complex to the west. This has been provided due to past concerns from area residents about impacts to their properties during levels of high rainfall. An alternative to the piping system would be to grade and stabilize an overflow swale at an elevation of 1034.5 feet, J2, Attachment 19 which is the currently established DNR OHWL. The applicant shallreview this overflow system and provide either a piped overflow system at the OHWL or an overflow swale. 14) A stormwater maintenance agreement is required between the townhome area homeowner’s association, the City of Maplewood, and the RWMWD. Grading and Erosion Control 15) The notes to contractor on sheet 23 reference the RAHR Preserve. Please adjust to the current project. In this same note, there is reference to the mass grading contractor turning over NPDES responsibilities to the Developer and City. Please revise this note to eliminate the City from the parties responsible. 16) A double row of silt fencing or other perimeter control measures are required between all site grading and wetlands. 17) A rock construction entrance is required where Indigo Avenue intersects with Century Avenue. Please display this on sheet 25. 18) Existing contours shall be shown outside of the development grading limits so that it can be seen how the site ties into adjacent areas. Traffic Impacts and Street Layout The proposed development would have three access points onto adjacent streets. The single- family home portion of the site would have one access to Lower Afton Road and one access onto Century Avenue. The townhome portion of the site would be restricted to one access point on Linwood Avenue. It should be noted that the townhome area proposed an access point on Century Avenue, but this connection was denied by Ramsey and Washington Counties. The applicant has provided traffic impact analysis for the adjacent roadways systems. According to the documentation provided, only minor impacts on the adjacent roadways are anticipated. Intersections are expected to perform at the same levels of service (level A). After fielding concerns from area residents along Linwood Avenue, the applicant performed additional observations and analysis for the Linwood Avenue at Century Avenue south intersection. This analysis concluded that minimal vehicle queuing occurs during AM and PM peak hours at this intersection. It further concluded that no modifications are needed at this intersection to accommodate the proposed development. In order to get a second opinion of the potential traffic impacts from the proposed development, the City consulted with Bolton and Menk, Inc. to analyze the traffic impacts. Bolton and Menk’s analysis concurred with the analysis submitted by the developer, noting that the development will have minor impacts on the adjacent roadways, which have adequate capacity, with Council Packet Page Number 262 of 365 J2, Attachment 19 intersections maintaining the same levels of relative service.Please also refer to the attached memorandum dated September 3, 2025 from the City’s consultant, Bolton and Menk, Inc. 19)The project currently calls for surmountable curb and gutter throughout the project. City standard curb and gutter is B618. The project shall be revised to include B618 curb and gutter on the proposed public streets. 20)Pavement wearing course shall be MnDOT SPWEA330C. No recycled asphalt (RAP) is allowed in the wearing course mixture. 21)Pavement base course shall be MnDOT SPWEB330C. RAP is allowed in base course mixtures. 22)Given the poorly draining and frost-susceptible soils on this site, a minimum 1-foot-thick sand sub-base with geotextile fabric and draintile is required beneath all streets, as referenced in standard plate 111. The final road section shall be based upon geotechnical recommendations but shall in no case be lesser than a 1-foot sand sub- base with fabric and draintile, 8-inches of aggregate base, and 3.5-inches of asphalt pavement. 23)Asphalt joint-adhesive shall be installed between all wear-course pavements and concrete curb and gutter. 24)Ribbon-style (or other low-backed curbing) shall be installed at the end of the Sunflower Court cul-de-sac to aid in snow removal. This curbing shall be utilized between the parking bay area and lot 1 of Block 3. 25)Areas of minimum road profile slope are shown on Bluestem Street (STA 5+00 to 11+50) and Clover Street (STA 24+00 to 32+00). While these streets meet the minimum required profile slope of 0.50%, the length of these minimal profile slope areas will be subject to the increased possibility of water ponding and icing. The applicant shall review these areas to ensure gutter spread of runoff is within standards. It is recommended that the roadway profile in these areas be increased to aid in improving runoff characteristics and reducing the potential for icing issues. 26)The connections to County roadways shall be reviewed and approved by Ramsey and Washington Counties. All requirements of the Counties shall be met. Sanitary Sewer Below are comments related to sanitary sewer on this site. Please also refer to comments on the attached memorandum dated September 4, 2025 from the City’s consultant, Bolton and Menk, Inc. These comments shall be addressed as well. J2, Attachment 19 27)A sewer disconnect permit is required for the removal of the existing sewer service. 28)MH 37 is shown with a build height of only 1.29 feet. It appears that there is a typo in the rim elevation. Please review and adjust accordingly. Watermain 29)This project shall be reviewed by Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS). All requirements of SPRWS shall be met. 30)The applicant shall work with the City to relocate the fire-hydrant at the end of Sunflower Court to better accommodate snow removal activities. 31)A watermain easement shall be provided to SPRWS for the watermain within Outlot F, Lots 50 & 51 of Block 8, and Lot 24 of Block 9. General 32)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. 33)A developer’s agreement is required for this development. 34)Lot and block numbers, along with outlot designations shall be displayed on the preliminary plat sheets. 35)Public trail easements shall be provided over all proposed public trails. This includes over individual residential lots and outlots. 36)Draintile is currently shown crossing portions of lots 15-24, Block 4. If the draintile is to remain in this location, a 10-foot-wide public drainage and utility easement shall be provided over the pipe to allow for future maintenance. 37)City streetlighting standards call for streetlights to be installed at all street intersections, bends, and dead ends. In addition to the street lighting shown on the plans, streetlights shall also be included in the following locations. a.Inside bend of the road near Lot 20, Block 5. b.Inside bend of the road near Lot 9, Block 6. c.Inside bend of the road near Lot 1, Block 6. d.Inside bend of the road near Lot 6, Block 7. 38)Removal of the concrete median in the center of Century Avenue, near the south end of this site, is shown on the demolition sheets. A connection to Century Avenue in this area Council Packet Page Number 264 of 365 J2, Attachment 19 is no longer proposed. Please adjust the plans to showno changes to the median in this area. 39)The drainage and utility easement over Outlot A lying between the single-family home portion of the site and the townhome portion of the site varies in width on different plan sheets. It is shown as 45-feet wide on sheet 12 and 30-feet wide on sheet 18. The plans shall be adjusted to match the true proposed width. 40)City standard asphalt trail width is 8 feet. The plans currently note a 10-foot-wide trail. The trail shall be adjusted to City standard width. 41)An asphalt trail connection is shown to extend toward the Mailand Road right-of-way. This trail shall extend and connect to Mailand Road with an ADA compliant ramp. 42)A number of tee-intersections are shown on the proposed asphalt trail layout. The applicant shall work with the City to configure these intersections for ease of snow removal. 43)Battle Creek Regional Park lies just north and west of this site. An existing trail connecting to this park lies along the north-side of Lower Afton Road. The applicant shall make a trail connection to this system from the Century Ponds Trail system in coordination with Ramsey County Public Works. It shall be noted that an existing enhanced connection to this trail system lies just west of this site near Londin Lane. 44)The townhome streets and utilities at the south end of the project shall be private. 45)This project shall be reviewed by Ramsey and Washington Counties. All work within their respective rights-of-way require permits from these entities. All conditions from the counties shall be met. 46)An existing Saint Paul Police firing range is located near the southwest corner of this site. While this firing range has provided sound reduction measures over the years, the City still receives complaints from area residents from time to time. Potential homebuyers shall be made aware of the adjacent firing range. Likewise, this site lies adjacent to higher volume roadways such as Lower Afton Road, Century Avenue, and Highway 494. The applicant shall evaluate the need for sound mitigation measures for townhomes and homes proposed with this development to ensure they meet applicable noise standards. 47)The applicant shall include verbiage in Homeowners Association documents restricting drainage easement areas from having landscaping or other structures placed in the easement areas which could block the intended flow of runoff or maintenance in these areas. This is required for all lots in Blocks 6 & 7, lots 1 & 2 of Block 1, lots 1-3,9-11, & 26 of Block 5, lots 1-4, 7 & 8 of Block 4, lots 9 & 10 of Block 2, and lots 14-15 of Block 3. J2, Attachment 19 48) All disturbed areas of Linwood Avenue and Mailand Road shall be restored per the City’s Right-of-Way Ordinance. 49) The applicant shall review the landscaping plans to ensure trees are not placed in locations that would block access or intended runoff flow through drainage and utility easements. Trees shall be moved if necessary. 50) The southern boundary of Outlot A shall be shown on the preliminary plat. 51) All public roadways are shown at 28 feet wide. Parking on these roadways shall be restricted to one side of the roadway only per the City’s Living Street’s Policy. 52) All utilities, roadways, and common areas in Outlot C, Outlot F, Lot 50 & 51 of Block 8, and Lot 24 of Block 9 shall be privately maintained by the Homeowners Association. Ramsey County Comments A. The major street plan calls for an 86 foot wide Right Of Way dedication (minimum of 43 from centerline) for both Century Ave and Lower Afton Road. B. Developer Plans show the inclusion of a 10' asphalt public trail, request this trail be owned and maintained by the development itself, either through an established Home Owners Association or by each adjacent property owner. Developer plans show a storm drain system which will include roadway runoff collecting into the development holding ponds. Request County not be entangled into any maintenance agreements or arrangements obligating future maintenance responsibilities with these ponds nor with any storm drain system within the development proper. County will own and maintain its inlets draining county roadways and the piping leading to the outlet location. Access onto the development out lots, (ponds) to maintain the county piping needs to be established. C. Permits will be needed for the following: 1) Access point onto Lower Afton Road, 2) Access point onto Century Ave., 3) Watermain connection in ROW on Lower Afton Road, 4) Removal of center medians, 5) Closure of any existing access points, 6) Any other work not shown in these plans. A construction performance bond will be required for the project. D. Will any landscaping occur between the end of Waterleaf Way and Century Ave? Requesting something to prevent vehicles from accessing Century through this soft surface. E. Century Ponds Trip Generation Memo_20241018 a. Figure 3 referenced but not shown Council Packet Page Number 266 of 365 J2, Attachment 19 b.“Although no detailed traffic operations analysis was performed, all roadways are expected to perform at a similar Level of Service (LOS) despite the increase in trips as the roadways have sufficient capacity.” i.Turning movement counts should have been collected and existing vs. proposed LOS operational analysis should be conducted. Potential queues should be modeled during AM/PM peaks to assess their potential impact on new accesses (A, B, C). c.Access A – Lower Afton Rd. recommendation not to provide an eastbound right turn lane should take into account that we’ve had speeding and “tail-gating” concerns along this section of Lower Afton Rd. i.This comment neither endorses nor condemns a right turn lane for eastbound Lower Afton, but simply points out that a more thorough analysis should be performed. ii.What is the proposed distance from the Century/Lower Afton Rd. to the proposed “A” access? Per the scale, it’s about 930’ – please confirm this distance. iii.Similar comments as above for Accesses B and C. d.Access A – recommendation to not provide a westbound left turn lane should be further analyzed. i.A vehicle not wanting to slow down could pass on the right, which is right before the presence of a crosswalk at Ramsey County Correctional Facility. Washington County Comments Please refer to comments on the attached memorandum dated November 26, 2024 from Washington County Public Works. These comments shall be addressed. -END COMMENTS - J2, Attachment 20 MEMORANDUM Date: September 4, 2025 To: Jon Jarosch, PE; Assistant City Engineer From: Cristina Mlejnek, PE Subject: Century Ponds Development Review The following are our development review comments (sanitary sewer, stormwater and traffic impacts) based on our correspondence and the review of the following documents received on August 20, 2025: Century Ponds Geotechnical Report.pdf /ĻƓƷǒƩǤ tƚƓķƭ {at Α ЋЉЋЎΏЉЋЉЎ͵ƦķŅ /ĻƓƷǒƩǤ tƚƓķƭ ƩźƦ DĻƓ Α ğƭŷ /ƚǒƓƷǤ /ƚƒƒĻƓƷƭ͵ƦķŅ Century Ponds_Linwood Ave Memo_20250121.pdf Century Ponds_Trip Gen Memo_20241018.pdf And the following received on August 7, 2025: /ĻƓƷǒƩǤ tƚƓķƭ Α tƩĻƌźƒźƓğƩǤ tƌğƷ͵ƦķŅ /ĻƓƷǒƩǤ tƚƓķƭ Α .ǒŅŅĻƩ ğƩźğƓĭĻ 9ǣŷźĬźƷΏЋЋǣЌЍ t͵ƦķŅ /ĻƓƷǒƩǤ tƚƓķƭ Α tğƷźƚ 9ǣŷźĬźƷ͵ƦķŅ And the following reference documents: Battle Creek_RWMWD-Management-Plan.pdf Carver_RWMWD-Management_Plan.pdf Existing Drainage Map_Century Ponds SWMP.pdf NRCS Soils Map.pdf EAW Additional materials as noted within the Memorandums H:\\MPWD\\_General\\Century Ponds\\2025-08-27_MEMO_CenturyPonds.docx Council Packet Page Number 268 of 365 J2, Attachment 20 Name: Jon Jarosch Date: September 4, 2025 Page: 2 Sanitary Sewer /ĻƓƷǒƩǤ tƚƓķƭ Α tƩĻƌźƒźƓğƩǤ tƌğƷ o Sheets 40-44 SDR 35, SDR 26 and C900 are shown.

No.Date Introduction The following is a TrafficMemorandum for the proposed Century Ponds residentialdevelopment to be located along Linwood Avenue, west of Century Avenue in Maplewood, Minnesota. This memorandum has been prepared to provide capacity analysis at the intersection of Century Avenue and Linwood Avenue and necessary mitigation to accommodate the impacts of the proposed development. The impacts to the adjacent street network will also be reviewed. Additionally, this memo will provide comments and recommendations on the previously prepared Trip Generation Memorandum (10/18/24) and Linwood Avenue E Memorandum (1/21/25) by Alliant Engineering for the same development. Development Overview The proposed development, anticipated to be built out by 2028, is assumed to consist of 134single- family homes and 73 townhomes. Site access to the development is proposed via the following: One (1) full movement driveway along Linwood Avenue One (1) full movement driveway along Century Avenue J2, Attachment 20 Century Ponds ÏTraffic Memorandum Page 2 One (1) full movement driveway along Lower Afton Road Refer to the attachments for the preliminary site plan. Existing Conditions Existing lane characteristics, average annual daily traffic (AADT), and over intersection roadway information within the study area is shown in Table 1. Table 1: Existing Roadway Inventory Typical Cross Functional MnDOT Road NameSpeed Limit SectionClassAADT(vpd) Urban Major Linwood Avenue 2-lane undivided30 mph1,707 Collector Century Avenue Urban Major 4-lane divided50mph10,763 (N/S)Collector Century Avenue Urban Major 2-lane undivided35 mph3,154 (E/W)Collector Urban Minor Lower Afton Road 2-lane undivided50 mph7,888 Arterial Data Collection 13-hour turning movement counts were collected at the intersection of Century Avenue and Linwood Avenue on a typical weekday, when schools were in session, in February 2025. Based on the turning movement counts collected, the peak hours were determined to be 7:15-8:15AM and 3:45-4:45PM. Although the intersection PM peak hour is slightly outside of the typical weekday PM peak period (4:00-6:00 PM), using the peak hour determined by the turning movement counts is expected to provide a conservative analysis. Refer to the attachments for a figure illustrating the existing 2025 peak hour volumes at the study intersection. Future Conditions No-Build 2028 No-Build traffic is the component of traffic due to the growth of the community and surrounding area that is anticipated to occur regardless of whether or not the proposed development is constructed. Based on historical AADT volumes in the study network, an average annual growth rate of 1% was calculated. The 1% annual growth rate was applied to existing 2025 traffic volumes to determine no-build 2028 peak hour volumes. Refer to the attachments for a figure illustrating the no-build 2028 peak hour volumes at the study intersection. 2 Council Packet Page Number 278 of 365 J2, Attachment 20 Century Ponds ÏTraffic Memorandum Page 3 Trip Generation The proposed development is assumed to consist of 134single family homes and 73 townhomes.

Of thedaily traffic volume, it is anticipated that 129trips (32enteringand97exiting) will occur during the weekday AMpeak hour and 170trips (106enteringand64exiting) will occur during the weekday PM peak hour. Based on the most recent preliminary site plan, only the townhome portion of the proposed development is expected to be accessed via the site driveway along Linwood Avenue. For the purposes of providing capacity analysis at the intersection of Century Avenue and Linwood Avenue, it was assumed that only townhome site trips would utilize this intersection to access the site. Trip Distribution The trip distribution used in assigning the site traffic for the proposed development was estimated based on a combination of existing traffic patterns, population centers in the vicinity of the study area, and engineering judgement. For the purposes of this memo, it was assumed that only townhome site trips would utilize the Century Avenue and Linwood Avenue intersection. It was assumed that the townhome site trips will be regionally distributed throughout the study area as follows: 90% to/from the eastvia Century Avenue 10% to/from the westviaCentury Avenue Refer to the attachments for figures illustrating the site trip distribution and site trip assignment at the study intersection. 3 J2, Attachment 20 Century Ponds ÏTraffic Memorandum Page 4 Build 2028 To estimate traffic conditions with the site fully built-out, the total site trips utilizing the study intersection were added to the no-build 2028 traffic volumes to determine the build 2028 peak hour volumes. Refer to the attachments for an illustration of the build 2028 peak hour volumes. Capacity Analysis Weekday AM and PM peak hour intersection levels of service were estimated using the Synchro/SimTraffic 12 analysis software for the study intersection. Level of Service (LOS) is a letter grade that describes the quality of traffic operations, with levels of service ranging from LOS A (minimal delays) to LOS F (breakdown of traffic flow with major delays). Based on guidance in the MnDOT Access Management Manual, operations at LOS E or LOS F will be considered deficient and in need of some type of mitigation to minimize degradation. Refer to Table 3 for the LOS delay thresholds for each LOS at an unsignalized intersection. ğĬƌĻ Ќʹ IźŭŷǞğǤ /ğƦğĭźƷǤ ağƓǒğƌ Α\[ĻǝĻƌƭΏƚŅΏ{ĻƩǝźĭĻ ğƓķ 5ĻƌğǤ UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTION AVERAGE CONTROL DELAY PER LEVEL OF SERVICE VEHICHLE (SECONDS) A 0-10 B 10-15 C 15-25 D 25-35 E 35-50 F>50 Intersection level of service analysis was performed for the following traffic scenarios: Existing 2025 Traffic Conditions No-Build 2028 Traffic Conditions Build 2028 Traffic Conditions Existing 2025 Conditions The existing weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes were analyzed to determine the level of service at the study intersection.

Additionally queuing on all approaches is expected to be minimal and not exceed 100 feet. It should be noted that the southbound approach is expected to experience a maximum queue of four (4) vehicles during either peak hour, while the eastbound approach experiences a maximum queue of three (3) vehicles during either peak hour. An estimated maximum of 24 site trips are 6 Council Packet Page Number 282 of 365 J2, Attachment 20 Century Ponds ÏTraffic Memorandum Page 7 expected to be added to the southbound approach under build 2028 conditions. This addition of site trips generated by the proposed development is expected to have a negligible effect on the southbound queues by only increasing queue lengths by one (1) vehicle compared to existing 2025 and no-build 2028 conditions. Adjacent Street Impacts Future AADT Projections For the purposes of this memo, the future AADT volumes were calculated at roadways adjacent to the proposed siteto determine the site trafficÔs impact on the surrounding roadway capacity. Table 10 illustrates the calculated AADT projections for Linwood Avenue, Century Avenue, and Lower Afton Road. ğĬƌĻ ЊЉʹ CǒƷǒƩĻ !!5 tƩƚƆĻĭƷźƚƓƭ Α!ķƆğĭĻƓƷ {ƷƩĻĻƷƭ Daily Site Trip Adjacent RoadwayMnDOT AADT (vpd)Site Trip DistributionFuture AADT (vpd) Assignment (vpd) Linwood Avenue1,70710%+5062,213 Century Avenue10,76350%+52511,288 Lower Afton Road7,88840%+7878,675 Based on the calculated daily site trip assignment to the adjacent roadways (Linwood Avenue, Century Avenue, and Lower Afton Road), the proposed development is expected to have minor impacts on the surrounding street network. These findings are consistent with previous memos conducted by Alliant Engineering in October 2024 and January 2025 that concluded all roadways are expected toperform at similar LOS despite the increase in trips due to available roadway capacity. Additionally, this memo supports that no modifications would be needed to the study intersection to accommodate development trips. Turn Lane Evaluation Due to the location of the proposed development, both Ramsey County and Washington County guidelines were reviewed for turn lane recommendations at the proposed site access points. Although Ramsey County had no specific turn lane requirement guidelines, Washington County guidelines state that residential developments with more than 10 dwelling units shall require turn lanes or bypass lanes to be constructed on County State Aid Highways (CSAH). Within this study area,that includes Century Avenue (CSAH 25) and Lower Afton Road (CSAH 39). Additionally, the turn lane Warrant 9 within the MnDOT Access Management Manual was reviewed. The turn lane recommendations are as follows: Lower Afton Road o A westbound left-turn lane is warranted and recommended into the proposed site access.This is consistent with other driveways along the corridor. 7 J2, Attachment 20 Century Ponds ÏTraffic Memorandum Page 8 Per Washington County guidelines and the MnDOT Access Management Manual, the proposed site access along Lower Afton Road is not expected to meet access spacing requirements. If construction of an exclusive westbound left-turn lane is not feasible due to the proximity to the signal and the configuration of the westbound approach, it is recommended that the proposed site access be restricted to a right- in/right-out. o An eastbound right-turn lane is warranted but not recommended unless safety issues arise in the future. Century Avenue o A northbound left-turn lane is warranted and recommended into the proposed site access. This is consistent with other driveways along the corridor. Per Washington County guidelines and the MnDOT Access Management Manual, the proposed site access along Century Avenueis not expected to meet access spacing requirements. o A southbound right-turn lane is warranted but not recommended unless safety issues arise in the future. Linwood Avenue o No turn lanes are warranted due to minimal volumes and roadway classification. Conclusion The proposed Century Ponds residentialdevelopment was reviewed to provide capacity analysis at the intersection of Century Avenue and Linwood Avenue and necessary mitigation to accommodate the impacts of the proposed development. Additionally, this memo analyzedthe anticipated impacts to the adjacent street network and commentedon the recommendations on the previously prepared Trip Generation Memorandum (10/18/24) and Linwood Avenue E Memorandum (1/21/25) by Alliant Engineering for the same development. Based on the results of this analysis, the Century Ponds development is anticipated to generate site trips that will have a minor impact on the surrounding roadway network. These findings are consistent with previous studies conducted by Alliant Engineering in October 2024 and January 2025 for the same development, reinforcing the reliability of the projected traffic impacts. In accordance with agency guidelines and to maintain corridor consistency, left-turn lanes should be considered at the proposed site access pointsalong Century Avenue and Lower Afton Road to support safe and efficient traffic operations.

Ticknor, P.E., Deputy Director November26, 2024 Michael Martin Interim Community Development Director City of Maplewood 1830 County Road B E Maplewood, MN 55109 Washington County PW Comments onCentury Ponds Development CSAH 25 Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Century Pondsconcept site plan located along County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 25, also known as Century Ave South. While the development itself is not in WashingtonCounty, CSAH 25 is a shared roadway between Ramsey and Washington County with Washington County responsible for the operation and maintenance of this section of roadway via agreement with Ramsey County. Our development review team has reviewed the application and offers the following comments. CSAH 25-Minor Reliever. The Washington County 2040 Comprehensive Plan contains access criteria for county roads related to spacing, sight lines, and availability of local road connections. In this area, the Comprehensive Plan calls for the preservation of 150 feet of right-of-way or 75 feet,on either side of the CSAH 25centerline. The County recommends installinga trail along the western side of Century Avenueas part of the development plan. This will help to providea safe walkingand bikingroutealongside the county highway connecting to nearby neighborhoods. The site are proposed to have newleft turn lanes constructed on the northbound side 2040 Comprehensive Plan, access spacing for a fullmovement intersection on a minor arterial shouldbe only approximately half of the recommended spacing, and may not be a viable location for full access or a controlled intersection long termdue to its proximity to the major intersection to the north. Washington , which is a Woodbury collector street and a permanent full-access location. located well short of the access spacing guidelines due to its proximity to the existing traffic signal where CSAH 25 meets Lake Road.Itfurthermore appears that Access C would likely become a problematic cut-through shortcut for vehicles travelingbetweenCSAH 25 andLinwood Avenue,providing both a shorter route and the ability to avoid the Century/Lake signal and Century/Linwood intersections. To prevent cut-through trafficon this private roadway, and to preserve J2, Attachment 22 arterial traffic flow and reduce unnecessary costs associated with turn lane construction, we would solely via Linwood Ave. Access permits will be needed for the construction of new street or driveway connections within the county right-of-way. It has been noted by Ramsey County that access points B & C are potential candidates for a traffic signal or roundabout, either in the future or potentially upon opening, although as noted above these locations may not be viable due to proximity to existing full-access intersections already controlled by traffic signals. Construction of such intersection improvements would be subject to which can be found here: https://www.co.washington.mn.us/DocumentCenter/View/54003/Cost-Policy, including city cost for any necessary changes to city-owned approach roadways. We recommend that the city require a traffic study to identify the anticipated traffic needs for this site. Washington County's policy is to assist local governments in promoting compatibility between land use and highways. Traffic noise from this highway could exceed noise standards established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Minnesota Rule 7030.0030 states that municipalities are responsible for taking all reasonable measures to prevent land use activities listed in the MPCA's Noise Area Classification (NAC), where the establishment of the land use would result in violations of established noise standards. Minnesota Statute 116.07, Subpart 2a exempts County Roads and County State Aid Highways from noise thresholds. County policy regarding development adjacent to existing highways prohibits the expenditure of highway funds for noise mitigation measures. The developer should assess the noise situation and take any action outside of County right of way deemed necessary to minimize the impact of any highway noise. A right-of-way permit will be required for any work within the County highway right-of-way related to the development. As the development progresses, a plan set will be required with the application and include any grading, culvert installation, water and sewer services, parallel trail development, signage, landscaping, and other improvements within the County right-of-way. Additionally, the development will need to submit a drainage report and calculations for review of any downstream impacts to the county drainage system. Along with the drainage calculations, we will request written conclusions that the volume and rate of stormwater run-off into the county right of way will stay the same as part of the project. Confirmation that the developments stormwater plan meets all watershed requirements will be required prior to any permit approvals. Council Packet Page Number 316 of 365 J2, Attachment 22 All utility connections to County highway right of way for the development require Washington County Right of Way permits. Typically, these utility connection permits are the responsibility of the utility companies. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the site plan for the Century Ponds development. We look forward to continuing to work with Ramsey County and the City of Maplewood to ensure that development in this area is successful and well-served by the transportation network.

The proposed project includes the construction of new single-family residential housing and townhomes. There are significant trees and wetlands located on the property. The proposal must comply with the City’s tree and wetland ordinances, and landscape and stormwater planting policies. Trees: 1.Tree Preservation Ordinance: a.Significant Trees: Maplewood’s tree preservation ordinance describes a significant tree as a healthy tree as follows - 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 which is 28 inches in diameter or greater. c.Tree Replacement: Tree replacement is based on a calculation of significant trees located on the parcel and significant trees removed. Credits are given for all specimen trees that are preserved. 2.Tree Impacts and Replacement Requirements: The tree preservation plan shows 359 significant trees equaling 5,589 diameter inches on the site. The applicant is proposing to remove 94 significant trees equaling 2,147 diameter inches, which is 38 percent of the tree coverage on the site. Based on the City’s tree preservation ordinance tree replacement calculation, the applicant is required to replace 282 caliper inches of replacement trees, which equals 141 – 2 caliper inch trees. 3.Tree Replacement: The landscape plan includes 532 new trees, for a total of 1,440 caliper inches, which exceeds the tree replacement requirements of 282 Council Packet Page Number 318 of 365 J2, Attachment 23 caliper inches. Tree replacement for most of the single-family lots will include one tree in the back yard and one tree in the front yard, within the right-of-way. 4. Tree Recommendations: a. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit the applicant must submit the following: 1) Tree Inventory and Tree Preservation Plans: A revised tree inventory and tree preservation plan with the following changes: a) Identification of all trees that are dead or unhealthy, and indicating whether those trees are included in the tree calculation or removed from the calculation by the City’s tree ordinance. b) Identification of all specimen trees and whether those trees will be removed or saved. The current plan identifies most of the specimen trees with an asterisk, however, some trees over 28 inches in diameter are not called out as specimen trees. c) Preservation of the 23-caliper inch White Oak near the proposed playground (Tree #1187). d) Updated tree replacement calculation as needed based on the above-mentioned corrections. 2) Landscape Plan: A revised landscape plan with the following tree changes: a) Make the following tree species changes: 1. Reduce the number of Northern Pin Oaks, Red Oaks, and Swamp White Oaks with climate resilient species. Northern Pin Oak and Red Oak are highly susceptible to oak wilt, and they make up 67 trees for a total of 167.5 caliper inches, 11.6 percent of the proposed tree cover. Thirty-three trees are Swamp Oaks, which are less susceptible, but still the same genus. South Maplewood is an area where oak wilt has been identified. 2. Replace the Northern Flare Sugar Maple and Burgundy Belle Red Maple with a climate resilient species. Maple trees are an overabundant tree species in Maplewood. b) Tree Mitigation Requirement from Tree Preservation Plan Section: J2, Attachment 23 1.Ensure that the correct number of caliper inches for tree replacement is accurately reflected in this section. The current plan states 543 caliper inches of replacement trees are required. According to the tree replacement calculation 282 caliper inches of trees are required to be replaced. 2.Identify how the total inches of trees being replaced is calculated in this section. This includes identifying the number of trees, times the size of trees, and how the total inches proposed equals 1,440 caliper inches. c)Landscape Schedule Section: The scientific name of Balsam Fir is incorrect, Abies balsamea is the correct name. d)Existing Trees to be Preserved Section: Show all existing trees to be preserved on the landscape plan. e)Additional Tree Planting: While the development meets the City’s tree replacement requirements, it is a large development adjacent residential property. As such, additional tree planting should take place in the following key areas (dependent on existing trees to be preserved): 1.Outlot A – on the west side of the filtration basin (Pond 1). 2.Trails – along the existing and newly established trails. 3.Outlet B (Park) – There is one tree proposed in the internal section of the park, and five trees along the cul-de-sac. There is an opportunity for additional trees throughout the internal section of the park, especially on the south side of the park to help shade the site in the future. 4.Townhouse and park parking areas – Addition of trees (and other landscaping) to prevent vehicle headlights from being directed into windows. 3)Tree Maintenance and Replacement Plan: The Landscape Plan shows replacement trees being planted within the single-family home rights-of-way. The developers’ agreement should include a requirement that the homeowner’s association be responsible for the maintenance and replacement of the trees in the right-of-way. 4)Tree Protection Plan: In addition to the tree protection fence detailed in the tree preservation plan, the developer must submit an overall tree protection plan that identifies how trees being Council Packet Page Number 320 of 365 J2, Attachment 23 preserved will be protected per the City’s tree ordinance and standards during development. 5) Tree Removal Plan: Submit a tree removal schedule which is mindful of the Northern Long-Eared Bat inclusive dates of November 15 to March 31, avoiding tree removal during this timeframe. 6) Surety: A cash escrow or letter of credit to cover the cost of the replacement trees. This surety will be refunded once all trees are planted with a one-year warranty. Wetlands: 1. Wetland Ordinance: a. Wetlands on Site: The November 17, 2023, wetland delineation report identified 14 wetlands. After review by the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District six of those wetlands were deemed incidental, and eight were classified as jurisdictional wetlands. Of the jurisdictional wetlands five were upgraded from the City’s previously classified Manage C to Manage B wetlands, and three remained Manage C wetlands. Additionally, there is a Manage A wetland located within the St. Paul Police Training site located to the west of Century Ponds that will impact development on the Century Ponds site. The City’s wetland ordinance requires that no grading, mowing, or building take place within the required wetland buffers as follows: Manage A: 100-foot average, and 75-foot minimum wetland buffer Manage B: 75-foot average, and 50-foot minimum wetland buffer Manage C: 50-foot minimum wetland buffer Storm Ponds: 10-foot setback to structures b. Wetland Buffer Averaging: The wetland ordinance allows flexibility in instances where, because of the unique physical characteristics of a specific parcel of land, the averaging of buffer width for the entire parcel may be necessary to allow for the reasonable use of the land during a development or construction project. The wetland ordinance allows encroachments to a Mange A wetland within 75 feet and a Manage B wetland within 50 feet of the wetland edge if the buffer width will be compensated for by increased buffer widths elsewhere in the same parcel to achieve the required average buffer width. c. Wetland Buffer Averaging and Variance Assessment: Wetland buffer averaging and wetland buffer variances are allowed based on an assessment of the following: 1) Undue hardship would arise from not allowing the average buffer, or would otherwise not be in the public interest. 2) Size of parcel. J2, Attachment 23 3)Configuration of existing roads and utilities. 4)Percentage of parcel covered by wetland. 5)Configuration of wetlands on the parcel. 6)Averaging will not cause degradation of the wetland or stream. 7)Averaging will ensure the protection or enhancement of portions of the buffer which are found to be the most ecologically beneficial to the wetland or stream. 8)A wetland buffer mitigation plan is required for construction of development projects that will require averaging or wetland buffer variances. In reviewing the mitigation plan, the City may require one or more of the following actions: a)Reducing or avoiding the impact by limiting the degree or amount of the action, such as by using appropriate technology. b)Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the buffer. c)Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by prevention and maintenance operations during the life of the actions. d)Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute buffer land at a two-to-one ratio. e)Monitoring the impact and taking appropriate corrective measures. f)Where the city requires restoration or replacement of a buffer, the owner or contractor shall replant the buffer with native vegetation. A restoration plan must be approved by the city before planting. g)Any additional conditions required by the applicable watershed district and/or the soil and water conservation district shall apply. h)A wetland or buffer mitigation surety, such as a cash deposit or letter of credit, of 150 percent of estimated cost for mitigation. The surety will be required based on the size of the project as deemed necessary by the administrator. Funds will be held by the city until successful completion of restoration as determined by the city after a final inspection. Wetland or buffer mitigation surety does not include other sureties required pursuant to any other provision of city ordinance or city directive. Council Packet Page Number 322 of 365 J2, Attachment 23 2. Wetland Impacts: Of the nine wetlands on site or adjacent Century Ponds, eight wetland buffers will be impacted due to grading on the site, requiring wetland buffer variances as follows: Wetland WetlandRequired Required Trail Impacts Wetland No. Classification Linear Area to Wetland Buffer Area Wetland Wetland Buffer (public Variance Buffers Buffers trails allowed Request in wetland (includes site buffers) grading and townhome patio/yard area impacts) 5C 50 FT 33,381 SF 5,377 SF 0 SF 6B75 FT77,761 SF9,046 SF8,375 SF 9B75 FT 18,751 SF 4,968 SF 0 SF 10 B75 FT 70,416 SF 0 SF 1,562 SF 11 B75 FT 148,255 SF 19,162 SF 14,739 SF 12 B75 FT 239,874 SF 32,701 SF 17,007 SF 13 C 50 FT 18,912 SF 8,166 SF 17,827 SF 14 C 50 FT 63,135 SF 0 SF 16,139 SF OFFSITEA100 FT 107,029 SF 0 SF 3,504 SF TOTAL 777,514 SF 79,420 SF 79,153 SF In addition to encroachments by the development grading, the townhouse patios and yard areas and neighborhood trails will impact the wetland buffers as follows: a. Townhouse Patio and Yard Areas: Several of the townhouse patios will encroach into the wetland buffers. To ensure these homes have a small, manicured yard behind their homes and patios, staff recommend a 15- foot strip of grass on the back side of the buildings. This will create a useable lawn area to access the back of the buildings and patios. These impacts are included in the wetland buffer area variance request column above. b. Trails: There are existing paved golf cart trails throughout the site, including within the City’s required wetland buffers. The trails will be used as walking and biking trails in the new development. Some of the trails will be removed and rerouted, and additional trail links will be added. The wetland ordinance allows for public trails in wetland buffers if they are designed and constructed with sustainable design methods. To achieve this, City staff recommends a five-foot strip of grass adjacent new and existing trails outside of the wetland buffers, and a 5-foot strip of grass plus a 10-foot strip of native plantings adjacent new and existing trails within the wetland buffers. This will allow for maintenance adjacent the trails, while allowing stormwater runoff to filter into the native plants prior to entering the wetland. These impacts are outlined in the trail impacts to wetland buffer column above. 3. Wetland Buffer Recommendations: J2, Attachment 23 a.Prior to the issuance of a grading permit the applicant must submit the following: 1)Grading Plan: a)Plans showing the linear setback of the grading to the edge of all wetlands. b)Detail erosion control plan measures for all grading within wetland buffers to ensure no pollutants alter the water chemistry of the wetland. 2)Wetland Plan: Plans must show the linear setback of the grading to the edge of all wetlands. 3)Landscape Plan: Plans showing a 5-foot strip of grass adjacent existing trails, and a 5-foot strip of grass plus a 10-foot strip of native plantings adjacent existing and new trails within a wetland buffer. 4)Wetland Buffer Mitigation Plan: a)Native Planting Plan: Updated native planting plan which meets the requirements of the October 1, 2025, Century Ponds Development – Natural Resources Review authored by Brandon Bohks, CMWP, Natural Resources Project Manager, Bolten and Menk. b)Wetland A Mitigation Details: Coordinate with the St. Paul Police Training facility on wetland buffer mitigation strategies for Wetland A. c)Interpretive Sign Plan: Plan with the proposed location of at least four interpretive signs throughout the Century Ponds neighborhood to include one or more of the following site-specific subjects: wetlands, natural resources, wildlife habitat, pollinators, history. Final sign design, size, and locations to be approved by City staff. d)Wetland Buffer Sign Plan: Identify the location of wetland buffer signs to be installed along the approved wetland buffers. The signs should be placed every 100 feet at a minimum. The City of Maplewood supplies wetland buffer signs identifying that no building, mowing, or grading should take place within the buffer. There is a $35 fee per sign. e)Wetland Buffer Boundary Demarcation Plan for High- Traffic Areas: Identify areas around the approved wetland buffers where there are high traffic areas, such as behind the townhome patios and lawn areas, and how those Council Packet Page Number 324 of 365 J2, Attachment 23 wetland buffers can be protected with strategies such as fencing, additional signage, or landscaping. f)Wetland Buffer Sign Installation: Install the City wetland buffer signs that specify that no building, mowing, cutting, grading, filling or dumping are allowed within the buffer. 5)Surety: A cash escrow or letter of credit to cover 150 percent of the wetland buffer mitigation. The City will retain the surety for up to three years as outlined in the maintenance agreement to ensure the wetland buffer mitigation and plantings are established and maintained. Landscape Policies and Recommendations: 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. 1.Prior to the issuance of a grading permit the applicant must submit the following: a.Revised landscape plans for the following areas: 1)Sullivant’s Milkweed: Identify on the landscape plans how the developer will coordinate with the Department of Natural Resources with further information about the location and number of Sullivant’s Milkweed present on the site to discuss approved avoidance measures and/or the need for a Permit to Take. 2)Park Landscape Plan: Final landscape plans for the new park to be reviewed and approved as part of the City’s park development process. At a minimum tree planting within the park should include all trees proposed on the August 22, 2025, landscape plan, plus additional trees as determined through the review process. 3)Single-Family and Townhome Landscape Plans: a)Foundation planting plans for each single-family home and townhome to include a mix of perennials. b)Landscape plans showing the use of energy conservation planting strategies, such as vegetation that provides shade to east and west-facing windows while avoiding shade to south-facing windows to maximize solar exposure during the winter and minimize solar exposure in the summer. Stormwater Basin Recommendations Several stormwater ponds and filtration basins are proposed throughout the development. The stormwater ponds and filtration 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 J2, Attachment 23 required in large basins. Using plants rather than seed 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. 1.Prior to the issuance of a grading permit the applicant must submit the following: a.Revised landscape plan that shows a detailed planting plan for each pond and filtration basin to include a mix of native plugs and seed.
