Recommended Action: Motion to approve the changes to the City of MaplewoodÓs Charitable Gambling Policies. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0 Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: na Strategic Plan Relevance: Safety Focus Area: Foster community engagement and support resident well-being Sustainability Focus Area: Cultivate a connected, engaged community Development Focus Area: Strengthen human connection and community growth The City of Maplewood awards Charitable Gambling Tax Fund dollars to eligible organizations and nonprofits to support activities and services that benefit the Maplewood community. Background: Per Minn. State Statutes section 349.213, subdivision 1, paragraph (f)(2), a local unit of government is allowed to require, by ordinance, a licensed organization to contribute up to 10% of the organizationÓs net profits derived from lawful gambling to a fund administered by the local unit of government. The City of Maplewood has adopted an ordinance which requires the 10% contribution. Cities that collect funds from charitable gambling proceeds must spend the money the same way charities do Î for defined charitable purposes. On February 9, 2026, the City Council reviewed the existing Charitable Gambling Policy and agreed upon a few modifications to the policy. The most significant change relates to the method for distributing funds, which is outlined in Section 4 of the policy document. The revised approach Council Packet Page Number 21 of 138 G2 establishes a clearer process for evaluating applications and allocating available funds among qualified applicants. In addition, a minor modification was made to the application requirements to incorporate program categories. Application Requirements Organizations must identify the specific program category under which they are applying and provide a detailed description of how the requested funds will be used. Program categories are: Social Supports and Senior Citizen Services Youth Programs and Community Engagement & Events Environment & Natural Resources and Safety Programs Distribution of Funds Open Allocation of Funds Î Allocate funds without regard to category, allowing full flexibility to award funds based on application merit across all categories.

The second priority or consideration will be given to funding requests from other organizations which are used primarily for the benefit of Maplewood residents. Funds shall be distributed for projects, equipment, or activities that are based in the community and which primarily benefit Maplewood residents and will be looked upon more favorably than requests for salaries or general operating costs. 4.Applicant Eligibility and Allocation a.Application Requirements Organizations must identify the specific program category under which they are applying and provide a detailed description of how the requested funds will be used. Program categories are: Social Supports and Senior Citizen Services Youth Programs and Community Engagement & Events Environment & Natural Resources and Safety Programs b.Distribution of Funds Open Allocation of Funds Î Allocate funds without regard to category, allowing full flexibility to award funds based on application merit across all categories. c.Maximum Award No single organization shall receive more than $7,500 in funding per year. d.Eligibility for Subsequent Funding Organizations that receive funding in one year are eligible to apply again the following year only under a different program category. 5.In general, requests from organized athletic groups will not be funded.

A request must receive 3 or more votes for funding in order to receive Charitable Gambling Tax Funds. 7. All funds granted are required to be expended for the requested project within one year of the date of the award letter. However, payment will not be made until after January 1 of the award year. Grant recipients shall submit a letter to the Office of the City Manager requesting payment of the grant award as well as provide specific information on how the funds were used (receipts or other proof of expenditure) for the proposed purpose. 8. No employee or department of the City of Maplewood shall solicit a donation from a licensed charitable organization without City Manager approval. If there is a financial need for a specific program that was not funded in the City budget, staff may submit a request to the City Manager for the use of Charitable Gambling Tax Funds. 9. The allocation of Charitable Gambling Tax Funds is an annual award. A previous receipt of funds in no way guarantees or commits the City of Maplewood to funding in any subsequent year. Each yearÓs funding requires a new, separate application. Updated 03.09.2026 Council Packet Page Number 24 of 138 G3 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Meeting Date March 9, 2026 REPORT TO: Michael Sable, City Manager REPORT FROM: Steven Love, Public Works Director Troy Brink, Street/Storm Superintendent PRESENTER:Steven Love, Public Works Director AGENDA ITEM: Bituminous Material Purchases for 2026 Season Action Requested: MotionDiscussion Public Hearing Form of Action: Resolution OrdinanceContract/Agreement Proclamation Summary: Each year the Public Works Department purchases bituminous materials for pothole repairs and spot paving on city streets. City Council will consider authorizing the purchase of bituminous materials for the 2026 maintenance season. Recommended Action: Motion to authorize the Street Superintendent to purchase bituminous materials in an amount up to $170,000 for the 2026 street maintenance season. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $170,000 Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: n/a Strategic Plan Relevance: SafetyMaintain and enhance infrastructure and environmental systems Sustainability Development Maplewood streets are a vital part of the City’s infrastructure, and the condition of the streets has a direct impact on quality of life for residents and businesses. City staff use the bituminous materials for pothole, curb, spot-paving and shoulder repairs. Background: Throughout the 2026 street maintenance season, Public Works crews will use bituminous material to fill potholes, repair shoulders and bituminous curbs, and perform spot paving. The total anticipated cost for bituminous material purchases is $170,000 for the 2026 maintenance season. Council Packet Page Number 25 of 138 G3 Funding for this purchase will be provided through the following sources: Public Works Operational Budget: $85,000 Street Revitalization Fund: $85,000 The proposed supplier of the bituminous materials is Martin Marietta, based on its nearby location in North St. Paul and competitive pricing. Martin Marietta’s proximity to our City and the Public Works facilities provides a significant benefit to the City’s operations. This allows crews to perform pavement repairs quickly and efficiently. The second-closest bituminous plant, operated by the City of St. Paul, requires an approximate 60- minute round trip per load. The additional travel time would reduce operational efficiency and limit the number of repairs that can be completed during a workday. Attachments: None.

The development will be located in the southwest quadrant of Lower Afton Road East and Century Avenue South. The City Council is requested to approve the final plat for the first phase of this project and a preliminary development agreement. Recommended Action: a.Motion to approve the final plat resolution to authorize the Century Ponds for 84 single-family and 34 townhomes at 601 Century Avenue South. b.Motion to approve a Preliminary Development Agreement with Century Ponds of MN LLC. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0. Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: All necessary improvements for the streets, utilities and homes will be constructed and funded by the Developer. Strategic Plan Relevance: Safety Sustainability Development Promote residential development and thoughtful redevelopment This development will provide additional housing opportunities in the city and redevelop a vacant golf course site. Council Packet Page Number 97 of 138 J1 Background: DR Horton’s 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 East and Century Avenue South. The townhomes are in the southern portion of the parcel, with access via Linwood Avenue East. Due to the site's preserved wetlands, vehicle access is not permitted between the two parts of the development. The proposed development includes a 1.73- acre public park and 1.80 miles of public paved trail. The City Council is requested to approve the final plat for the first phase of this project and a preliminary development agreement. The Century Ponds final plat will include 84 single-family homes and 34 townhomes, and will create public rights-of-way for streets and utilities, as well as the parcel of property for the public park. The remaining home lots will be platted in a future second phase. DR Horton is also bringing in a partner developer, Nathan Fair of Century Ponds of MN LLC. Mr. Fair is an experienced developer in the Twin Cities, and all project requirements and conditions of approval will still be in place regardless of who serves as the master developer. In addition, DR Horton is still a partner in the project, as they will be building the homes. Mr. Fair’s group will be responsible for the overall site work and public infrastructure construction. Final Plat – First Phase When the city council approved the preliminary plat last fall, several conditions had to be met before final plat approval could be granted. The applicants have submitted the required documentation for final plat approval, including a title commitment for the property at 601 Century Avenue South. The Maplewood City Attorney reviewed the title commitment and submitted the attached plat opinion letter. The plat opinion letter details minor modifications needed on the plat prior to the city signing the final plat for recording. The city’s engineering and environmental staff have also reviewed the final plat plans submitted by the applicant and found them to be consistent with the conditions of approval from last fall and other city requirements. Both engineering and environmental will require minor modifications to the plans before the city will sign the plan. These requirements are detailed in the attached reports. Preliminary Development Agreement On October 27, 2025, the city council granted preliminary plat approval for the Century Ponds development. A condition of approval required the developer to comply with Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service guidelines restricting tree-removal activities to specific seasonal timeframes. To meet these environmental timing requirements, the developer has requested permission to begin tree removal before the final plat is recorded. The city may allow this early work only under a Preliminary Development Agreement, which sets strict limits, conditions, and financial guarantees to protect the city. The Preliminary Development Agreement authorizes the developer to conduct limited “Preliminary Work,” defined exclusively as removal of designated trees, in a manner consistent with environmental guidelines and city-approved plans. No other grading, utility work or subdivision improvements are permitted. Council Packet Page Number 98 of 138 J1 The developer may not begin tree removal until several prerequisites are met. These include acquiring full fee title to the property, executing the Preliminary Development Agreement, and submitting a staff-approved Preliminary Work Plan. In addition, the city must receive an escrow, and all legal, engineering and administrative costs incurred by the city to date must be paid. Required erosion-control measures must be installed, all necessary external permits must be obtained, and the developer must participate in a pre-work meeting with city staff. Only after all these conditions are satisfied and the city issues a formal Notice to Proceed may tree-removal activities begin. The full Development Agreement will be brought to the city council at an upcoming meeting, outlining all expectations and requirements of the developer. This agreement will also include detailed information regarding the new public park to be constructed as part of this project.

Abstract Property Council Packet Page Number 112 of 138 J1, Attachment 2 EXHIBIT B TO PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT Preliminary Work Plan Documents The following documents constitute the Preliminary Work plan documents. \[to be added\] Council Packet Page Number 113 of 138 J1, Attachment 3 CENTURY PONDS FINAL PLAT Maplewood, MN D.R. Horton is pleased to submit thisrequest for final plat approval of Century Ponds st 1phase. The approved preliminary plat consists of133 single family homes & 73 st townhomes. This request for 1phase includes 118 total homes - 84 single family and 34 townhomes. NATIVE HABITAT As shared during the preliminary plat process, about 27 of the 92 total acres will be natural vegetation. Where feasible, seeding will occur at the time of grading to allow establishment early in the construction process. This includes wetland buffers as well as open space areas. A conservation easement in favor of the City of Maplewood will be recorded against the outlots containing natural vegetation. The master homeowners’ association will be responsible for long term maintenance, including mowing, weed treatment/removal and controlled burns, as directed by a native plant management contractor. Following comments from the Environmental & Natural Resources Board meeting, Horton is working with the Friends of Maplewood Nature to develop a signage plan for the conservation areas. Signage will serve multiple purposes: prevention of encroachments in the buffers and educational information for the public. Signage will be maintained by the homeowners’ association. TRAILS & PARK The trails will be located in outlots owned by a homeowners’ association. DR Horton will dedicate a public easement over all the trails in Century Ponds. As such, we request the city be responsible for surface maintenance of the trails, including repairs & replacement as well as mowing & snow removal. Horton continues to work with staff on a park design that will align with the City’s concept and compliment the neighborhood. The park outlot is being created with this Council Packet Page Number 114 of 138 J1, Attachment 3 nd plat. However, the street access will be constructed in the 2phase. Horton’s goal is stnd to begin developing the park in the 1 phase (2026) with final completion in the 2 phase (2027). ARCHITECTURE The first phase of Century Ponds will introduce all three housing types that were presented at preliminary plat. Of the 118 homes in this phase, 43 will be 55’ wide lots (Select Homes), 41 will be 65’ wide lots (Tradition Homes) and 34 will be townhomes. As presented with preliminary plat, the multiple lot sizes provides diversity in house styles to appeal to a larger group of potential buyers at varying home buying stages (i.e. st 1 time, move-up, move-down).Variety in streetscape will be 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) stnd o 55 Total homes – 41 in 1 Phase & 14 in 2 Phase 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) stnd o 78 Total Homes – 43 in 1 Phase & 35 in 2 Phase 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) stnd o 73 Total Homes – 34 in 1 Phase & 39 in 2 Phase 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 Council Packet Page Number 115 of 138 J1, Attachment 3 HOA & CONSERVATION EASEMENT For long-term maintenance and management of the native vegetation areas, DR Horton will create a Master Homeowners’ Association (HOA). 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) will 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. A Conservation Easement will be created so the areas remain natural in perpetuity. The Conservation Easement will be in favor of the City to ensure the HOA is completing tasks as required to maintain healthy vegetation for viable habitats. Thetownhomes and single family homes would each be part of a sub-homeowners association (under the Master HOA). The townhomes will be set up as a common interest community. Here, the association would be responsible for building exteriors, private roads and grounds maintenance (mowing & snow removal).

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 360 significant trees equaling 5,582 diameter inches on the site, which includes 652 diameter inches of specimen trees over 28 inches in size. The applicant is proposing to remove 94 significant trees equaling 2,117 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 243 caliper inches of replacement trees, which equals 122 – 2 caliper inch trees. Council Packet Page Number 127 of 138 J1, Attachment 6 3. Tree Replacement: The landscape plan includes 326 new trees, for a total of 925 caliper inches, which exceeds the tree replacement requirements of 243 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 issuance of a Phase I Tree Removal Grading Permit the applicant must submit and complete 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) Updated tree replacement calculation as needed based on the above-mentioned corrections. 2) 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 preserved will be protected per the City’s tree ordinance and standards during development. 3) 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, completing tree removal during this timeframe. 4) 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). The updated tree planting plan is needed to determine tree escrow prior to Phase I Tree Removal Grading Permit: a. Outlot A – on the west side of the filtration basin (Pond 1). b. Trails – along the existing and newly established trails. Council Packet Page Number 128 of 138 J1, Attachment 6 c. 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. d. Townhouse and park parking areas – Addition of trees (and other landscaping) to prevent vehicle headlights from being directed into windows. 5) Surety: A cash escrow to cover the cost of replacement trees equal to $60 per caliper inch of trees on the approved landscape plan. The surety will be refunded once all trees are planted with a one-year warranty. The January 16, 2026, landscape plan identifies 925 caliper inches of replacement trees, which would be $55,500. b. Prior to the issuance of a Phase II Grading Permit the applicant must submit the following: 1) Landscape Plan: A revised landscape plan with the following tree changes: a) Make the following tree species changes: 1. Reduce the number of spruce species. Spruce is an overabundant species within the City of Maplewood. Substitute a portion of the spruce species with other conifers such as white pine, ponderosa pine, Tamarack, or Douglas fir. b) Existing Trees to be Preserved Section: Show all existing trees to be preserved on the landscape plan. The January 16, 2026, landscape plan show small dots for existing trees, but does specify if those are all the trees that will be preserved and the size and species of the trees. 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) Surety: A cash escrow or letter of credit as required by the Planning Department to cover the cost of the landscaping Council Packet Page Number 129 of 138 J1, Attachment 6 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. 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. Council Packet Page Number 130 of 138 J1, Attachment 6 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 131 of 138 J1, Attachment 6 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 Bufferstrails 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 FT 77,761 SF 9,046 SF 8,375 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. Council Packet Page Number 132 of 138 J1, Attachment 6 3. Wetland Buffer Recommendations: a. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit the applicant must submit the following: 1) Grading Plan: a) Detail erosion control plan measures for all grading within wetland buffers to ensure no pollutants alter the water chemistry of the wetland. 2) Stewardship Plan: a) Review of the February 10, 2026, Stewardship Plan by Brandon Bohks, CMWP, Natural Resources Project Manager, Bolten and Menk, to ensure compliance with his October 1, 2025, Century Ponds Development Natural Resources Review. b) Update the plan to note that the City of Maplewood requires a prescribed burn permit in addition to the Department of Natural Resources. c) Use the chemical herbicide triclopyr for buckthorn management instead of glyphosate. Triclopyr is more effective to eliminate buckthorn and the Department of Natural Resources is promoting the use of triclopyr over glyphosate for buckthorn management. d) Wetland A Mitigation Details: Coordinate with the St. Paul Police Training facility on wetland buffer mitigation strategies for Wetland A. e) 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. f) 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. g) 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 Council Packet Page Number 133 of 138 J1, Attachment 6 the townhome patios and lawn areas, and how those wetland buffers can be protected with strategies such as fencing, additional signage, or landscaping. h) 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. 3) 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. Council Packet Page Number 134 of 138 J1, Attachment 6 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 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. The landscape plans on page 72 through 74 identify seed mix and plugs, but there is no detail on the seed mix, number, size, and species of plugs to be planted in the ponds and filtration basins. Council Packet Page Number 135 of 138 J1, Attachment 7 Public WorksPlan Review PROJECT: Century Ponds Development 297 & 601 Century Avenue PROJECT NO: 24-07 COMMENTS BY: Jon Jarosch, P.E. – Assistant City Engineer DATE: 2-23-2026 PLAN SET: Plans dated 1-16/2026 REPORTS: Stormwater Management Plan dated 11-13-2025 The applicant is seeking final plat approval for Phase 1 of a residential development at the former Ponds at Battle Creek golf course site. DR Horton is proposing to redevelop the former golf course with approximately 133 residential homes and 73 townhomes in total over two phases. 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 1) Draintile is proposed under portions of lots 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. 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. 2) In the proposed HydroCad model for wetland 11 (W-11), device #3 is shown as a 5-ft weir, yet it is in a 48” manhole. Please update accordingly. 3) The inlet and outlet inverts for structures 304 and 305 do not match the inverts utilized in the HydroCad model for wetland 14. Please update accordingly. 4) A stormwater maintenance agreement is required between the townhome area homeowner’s association, the City of Maplewood, and the RWMWD. Council Packet Page Number 136 of 138 J1, Attachment 7 Grading and Erosion Control 5) 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. (Phase 2) 6) All erosion control blanket shall utilize natural netting only. Plastic netting is strictly forbidden. 7) Grading permits are required for both the mass grading of the site as well as for each individual lot as they are developed. Watermain 8) The applicant shall work with the City to relocate the fire-hydrant at the end of Sunflower Court to better accommodate snow removal activities. (Phase 2) 9) The watermain connection between the single-family home and townhome portions of the project is not included in Phase 1. The applicant shall verify that Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) approves of leaving this connection out until Phase 2. 10) All requirements of SPRWS shall be met. General 11) 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. (Phase 2) a. Inside bend of the road near Lot 20, Block 5. b. Inside bend of the road near Lot 9, Block 6. 12) 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. This would involve placing radii at intersection corners to allow plow vehicles to navigate corners without driving over adjacent grass. 13) 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. Council Packet Page Number 137 of 138 J1, Attachment 7 14) 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. 15) The joint-adhesive note shown at the top of the typical road sections plan (sheet 19) shall be added to the Typical Residential Street Section – Urban standard plate shown at the bottom left of that page for clarity (similar to how the bituminous mixes are depicted). 16) Disturbed areas of Linwood Avenue and Mailand Road shall be restored per the City of Maplewood’s right-of-way ordinance. 17) 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). This trail connection shall utilize the existing enhanced crossing located on Lower Afton Road at Londin Lane. 18) The right-of-way for Sunflower Court shall be platted with Phase 1 in order to provide public access to the park property near the end of Sunflower Court. 19) The park property off the end of Sunflower Court shall be deeded to the City as part of Phase 1. 20) An escrow shall be provided to the City, as part of Phase 1, to cover the costs of an 8- foot wide asphalt trail, from the intersection of Sunflower Court and Bluestem Street to the park property. This is necessary to ensure the park is accessible to the public should Phase 2 not happen in the future. 21) Park fees, for the entire development, shall be submitted as part of Phase 1. 22) Trail easements shall be provided over all public trails within the development. - END COMMENTS - Council Packet Page Number 138 of 138 For the permanent record: Meeting Date: 3/9/2026 Agenda Item J1, Additional Attachment For the permanent record: Meeting Date: 3/9/2026 Agenda Item J1, Additional Attachment For the permanent record: Meeting Date: 3/9/2026 Agenda Item J1, Additional Attachment For the permanent record: Meeting Date: 3/9/2026 Agenda Item J1, Additional Attachment
