WETLAND BUFFER VARIANCE RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Maplewood, Minnesota, as follows:
Section 1. Background
1.01 D.R. Horton has requested approval for a wetland variance buffer to allow grading and
trail construction within the required buffer.
1.02 The property is located at 601 Century Avenue South and is legally described as:
(PIN: 12-28-22-11 -0002 and 12-28-22-44-0002)
That part of the Southeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter, lying Southwesterly of Lower

Abstract Property
Section 2. Standards

Manage A Wetlands, 75 feet from Manage B Wetlands, and 50 feet from Manage C
Wetlands.

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes 7
2.02 City Ordinance Section 18-221 (h) (1) provides procedures for granting a variance to the
wetland ordinance requirements and refers to the state statute where a variance may be
granted when:
1. The variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this ordinance;
2. When the variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan; and
3. When the applicant establishes that there are 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.
Section 3. Findings
3.01 The Maplewood City Council makes the following findings:
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 enhance them while 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.
Section 4. City Review Process
4.01 The City conducted the following review when considering the public vacation request.
1. On September 16, 2025, the planning commission held a public hearing. City staff

property owners. The planning commission gave everyone at the hearing a chance to
speak and present written statements. The planning commission recommended that

in Section 3 of this resolution. Approval is subject to the following conditions:

Background:
Project Overview
The Church of Pentecost, located at 1701 Gervais Avenue East, is proposing an expansion of its
building and parking lot. The applicant requests a conditional use permit, site design review, and a
variance related to the parking lot setback and wetland buffer requirements. The proposal includes
expanding the sanctuary by adding on to the south side of the building, remodeling the interior
reception area, classrooms, and offices. On the exterior, the proposal includes expanding the
parking lot to provide an additional 30 stalls, adding stormwater retention and ponding features, and
overall site landscaping.
Conditional Use Permit
City code requires a conditional use permit (CUP) for a religious facility in any zoning district. When
the church began operating on the site, a CUP was never obtained. There have not been significant
changes to the site during the many years that the church has been operating, that would require a
CUP; however, the proposed expansion would require the property to obtain a CUP for the religious
facility to comply with city code.
Wetland Buffer and Parking Setback Variance
The site features a Manage B wetland in its northwest corner, and a portion of the expanded
parking lot and site grading during construction will encroach on the required 75-foot wetland buffer.
The parking lot expansion on the east side of the building will also encroach into the required 15-
foot setback to the property line along Flandrau Street.
Site Plan
The existing one-story building is 3,126.6 square feet, situated in the center of the property, with the
proposed addition to the south side of the building being 3,668 square feet. The parking lot for the
church, located along the east side of the property, currently encroaches two to five feet into the 15-
foot required setback along Flandrau Street. The site is accessed from the existing entrance points
off Gervais Avenue and Flandrau Street. The parking lot is proposed to be expanded on the south
side of the addition and the north side of the existing building. Both access points are to be rebuilt,
with the access point off Flandrau being relocated slightly south, closer to the building entrance.
Setbacks
The building is required to be 30 feet from the property lines along Flandrau Street (east) and
Gervais Avenue (south), and 61 feet from the residential property line to the north. There is no
required building setback to the west property line. The existing building and proposed addition will
meet the required building setbacks as shown to be 205.8 feet from the north property line, 88.4
feet from the south property line, 35.2 feet from the east property line, and 50 feet from the west
property line. The parking lot is required to be 15 feet from the Flandrau and Gervais property lines,
20 feet from the north property line (which is residential), and 5 feet from the west property line. The
parking area along the east side of the site is proposed to be between two and five feet from the
east property line, requiring a parking setback variance. The parking lot setbacks to the north,
south, and west property lines are achieved.
Building Elevations
The existing one-story masonry brick building has a pitched roof and is 30.5 feet in height at its
peak. The proposed building addition will also be 30.5 feet in height but will feature a flat roof. The
proposed materials for the addition are cement panel siding in an off-white color, accompanied by
aluminum metal trim and framing in natural and silver grays.
E1
Planning Commission Packet Page 17 of 72
Signage
The elevations show wall signage for the church. However, any signage on the property is subject
to review by the city and requires a sign permit, separate from this design review. All site signage
must meet the city’s sign code.
Landscaping and Screening
The proposed landscape plan shows that 31 trees would be removed, and 39 new trees would be
planted. Additionally, 77 shrubs, 111 feather reed grasses, and 59 perennial flowers are proposed
throughout the site. A landscaped area within the 20-foot parking setback to the north property line
is provided, screening the parking lot from the adjacent residential property. According to the
environmental review, the applicant must submit a revised tree plan and landscape plan that
reflects the code requirements regarding tree removal and replacement and uses recommended
species where applicable.
Wetland
The site has a Manage B wetland on the northwest portion of the property, which requires a 75-foot
buffer. The details are further outlined in the attached delineation, variance narrative, and
environmental review. The project will involve grading up to the wetland edge for the installation of a
stormwater discharge pipe and an infiltration basin, which will extend 45.8 feet into the buffer.
Additionally, the parking lot on the north side of the building will encroach 29.5 feet into the buffer.
Parking
City code requires a religious facility to provide one parking space for every four people, based on
the maximum building occupancy. Once the addition is complete, the maximum building occupancy
would be 270, requiring 67.5 parking stalls. The site currently has 38 parking stalls, and with the
parking lot expansion, it would have 68 stalls, meeting the parking requirement.
Lighting
The applicant submitted a lighting plan that illustrates the location and types of lighting that meet
ordinance requirements. Additionally, a site plan was provided, showing the light spread and foot-
candle levels, which demonstrate that the levels at the property lines meet code requirements.

The following is a narrative addressing the expansion of the Church of Pentecost located at 1695 Gervais Avenue in Maplewood,
MN.
The Church of Pentecost has been located at 1695 Gervais Avenue for many years and is a thriving and dynamic community of
worshippers serving a broad range of citizens in Maplewood and beyond. The church has experienced growth over the last few
years and is planning on expanding the worship center and remodeling the existing space into reception, classrooms and offices.
Parking is planned to be expanded as well to meet the occupancy needs of the new space. The intended use will not change but
be expanded.
The city should approve this expansion for a number of strong reasons:
- The proposed use does not change the current use or timing of activities.
- The use enhances the current character of the parcel and neighborhood.
- The expanded facility will increase the value of the adjacent properties with new construction and square footage.
- The expansion will have minimal impact on traffic into the site, increasing the numbers slightly, a majority which will be on
Gervais. The times will be at low traffic hours and days of the week.
- The expansion does not create excessive costs or loading for public utilities.
- The building expansion directly south preserves many mature trees, the owner will replace, meeting or exceeding
replacement calculations.
- The Church of Pentecost has been an excellent neighbor for years. Maintaining the building and site and being careful to
inform the immediate neighbors of events and discussing any parking inconvenience.
- The Church of Pentecost is a perfect neighbor to the adjacent park. With meetings happening on Sundays and Wednesday
nights, the property is quiet most days. When events occur at the church, they may use the park without adding parking in
the park.
- With church growth happening, if the city supports expanding the facility and therefore the attendees, it would be a great
signal that being in Maplewood is positive for families and individuals alike.
- The Church of Pentecost has a very diverse membership made up primarily of people from Ghana and Northern Africa in
general. By approving this application, the City of Maplewood sends a message to its neighboring cities that welcoming
diverse nationalities into the city has a positive impact on commerce, housing, and business in general.
As Architect for Church of Pentecost, LSE believes that supporting this project will be positive for the City of Maplewood.

Engineering Plan Review
PROJECT: Church of Pentacost Expansion
1701 Gervais Avenue
PROJECT NO: 25-27
COMMENTS BY: Jon Jarosch, P.E. – Assistant City Engineer
DATE: 9-9-2025
PLAN SET: Civil plans dated 8-19-2025
REPORTS: None
The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit and design review for an expansion of the
church, along with associated site amenities, at 1701 Gervais Avenue.
This review does not constitute a final review of the plans, as the applicant will need to submit
construction documents for final review. The following are engineering review comments on the
design and act as conditions prior to issuing permits.

Environmental Review
Project: Church of Pentecost
Location: 1701 Gervais Avenue
Date of Plans: August 19, 2025
Date of Review: September 5, 2025
Reviewer: Shann Finwall, Sustainability Coordinator
(651) 249-2304, shann.finwall@maplewoodmn.gov
Katelyn Bergstrom, Natural Resources Coordinator
(651) 249-2416, katelyn.bergstrom@maplewoodmn.gov
Background: The Church of Pentecost is proposing an expansion of the church
building and parking lot. There is a Manage B wetland and significant trees located on
the property. The proposal must comply with the City’s wetland and tree preservation
ordinances, and landscape and infiltration basin 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 50 significant trees equaling 782 diameter inches. The applicant is
proposing to remove 31 significant trees equaling 487 diameter inches, which is
62 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
424.31 caliper inches of replacement trees, which equals 212 – 2 caliper inch
trees.
3.Tree Replacement: The landscape plan includes 39 new trees, for a total of 122
caliper inches, which is 302.37 caliper inches less than the 424.31 required.
E1, Attachment 11
Planning Commission Packet Page 47 of 72
Eleven of the replacement trees are proposed to be planted within the Flandrau
Street right-of-way, not on the church property.
4. Tree Recommendations:
a. Prior to issuance of a grading permit the applicant must submit the
following:
1) Revised Tree Plan: A revised tree plan that reflects the correct
tree replacement calculation. The plan submitted includes errors
in the number of significant and specimen trees on site, trees
removed, and within the replacement calculation resulting in a
reduced number of replacement trees.
2) Revised Landscape Plan: A revised landscape plan with the
following tree changes:
a) Addition of 302.37 caliper inches of tree replacement on
the site; or alternatively, the applicant can pay into the
City’s tree fund at a rate of $60 per caliper inch of
replacement tree that cannot be planted on site. Under the
current tree removal and replacement plan, the applicant
would pay a nonrefundable tree fund payment in the
amount of $19,438.80.
b) Replacement of Northern Red Maple with a climate
resilient deciduous tree species. Red maples are an
overabundant tree species within Maplewood.
c) Replacement of Black Hills Spruce with a climate resilient
evergreen tree species. Black Hills Spruce does not
tolerate salt and should not be planted near parking lots.
Additionally, Black Hills Spruce are an overabundant tree
species within Maplewood.
3) Site Plan Changes: To reduce the extensive tree removal
proposed under the current development proposal, including the
removal of five specimen oak trees, the following site plan
changes are recommended:
a) Reduced on-site parking with a shared parking agreement
with commercial properties located across Gervais
Avenue.
b) Underground stormwater management to replace two of
the three above-ground infiltration basins.
4) Tree Maintenance Agreement: A tree maintenance agreement to
be drafted by the City of Maplewood requiring that the church
maintain and replace dead trees planted in the right-of-way.
E1, Attachment 11
Planning Commission Packet Page 48 of 72
5) Tree Protection Plan: A tree protection plan that identifies how
trees being preserved will be protected per the City’s tree
ordinance and standards during development.
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.
Wetland:
1. Wetland Ordinance:
a. Wetland Classification and Required Wetland Buffer: The Ramsey-
Washington Metro Watershed District approved the wetland delineation
on July 31, 2025. During that review, the watershed district reclassified
the wetland from a Manage A to a Manage B wetland. The City’s wetland
ordinance requires a 75-foot average wetland buffer around a Manage B
wetland.
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 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.
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. In reviewing the
E1, Attachment 11
Planning Commission Packet Page 49 of 72
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.
2. Wetland Impacts: The development will have grading up to the wetland edge for
the installation of a stormwater discharge pipe, and grading encroachments
toward the wetland for the installation of one of the infiltration basins and parking
lot along other areas of the wetland buffer. As such, the development requires a
75-foot wetland buffer variance.
3. Wetland Buffer Recommendations:
a. Prior to issuance of a grading permit the applicant must submit the
following:
1) Wetland Buffer Mitigation Plan showing the following:
E1, Attachment 11
Planning Commission Packet Page 50 of 72
a) Site Plan Changes: To reduce the wetland buffer impacts
the following site plan changes are recommended:
1. Reduced on-site parking with a shared parking
agreement with commercial properties located
across Gervais Avenue.
2. Underground stormwater management to replace
two of the three above-ground infiltration basins.
b) Invasive Species Removal: Removal of buckthorn and
other invasive species within the remaining undisturbed
wetland buffer and the open space area north of the
existing church. The applicant must maintain this area for
three years.
c) Native Plants: An updated landscape plan that includes a
mixture of native seed and plugs within the disturbed
wetland buffer.
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.
2) Wetland Buffer Sign Installation: Install the City wetland buffer
signs that specify that no building, mowing, cutting, grading, filling
or dumping be allowed within the buffer.
3) Maintenance Agreement: Sign a wetland buffer mitigation
agreement with the City requiring that the applicant establish and
maintain the required mitigation within the buffer for a three-year
period.
4) 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 is established and
maintained.
Landscape Policies and Recommendation:
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. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit the applicant must submit the
following:
1. Revised Landscape Plan that shows the following:
E1, Attachment 11
Planning Commission Packet Page 51 of 72
a. Replacement of the following perennial non-native species with native
species:
1) gold juniper
2) reed grass
3) supreme daylily
4) showy stonecrop
Infiltration Basin Recommendations
Three infiltration basins are proposed on the site. The basins are required to be planted,
ideally with deep-rooted native plants. The City requires a portion of the basin to be
planted rather than seeded; typically a minimum of 4,000 square feet of plantings are
required on 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.
Prior to the issuance of a grading permit the applicant must submit the following:
1. Revised Landscape Plan that shows:
a. a detailed planting plan for each infiltration basin to include a mix of native
plugs and seed.
