This program is fully funded through Ramsey County through grant funding for 2026. Ramsey County has partnered with Roots Wellness to provide four community responders who may be dispatched to non -criminal low-level calls for service where de-escalation or assistance could benefit from referrals to additional assistance. Recommended Action: Motion to approve the Joint Powers Agreement with Ramsey County for the Appropriate Responses Initiative's Community Responders program.

This program is being implemented through a Joint Powers Agreement between the City and County and is designed to provide an alternative response option for certain low-level, non-violent, and non -life -threatening calls for service. City Council Packet Page Number 34 of 501 G4 Community Responders, contracted through Roots Wellness, will be present in the community during peak hours and dispatched through the 911 system to calls that may not require a traditional law enforcement response. These calls may include civil issues, code enforcement concerns, demonstrations or protests, intoxicated people, juvenile -related matters, and solicitor complaints. Responders will operate on the same radio talk groups as police officers so that officers maintain awareness of their activity, and they will also spend time proactively engaging in the community by working in identified problem areas, connecting with unsheltered individuals, interacting with groups of juveniles, and supporting patrol when requested. It is equally important to understand the limits of the program. Community Responders will not be dispatched to calls involving criminal activity, violence, weapons, mental health or chemical dependency as a primary concern, traffic -related incidents, or responses in schools, medical facilities, or other secure locations. These parameters are in place to ensure that the program remains focused on appropriate situations while maintaining public safety. The City will retain full operational control of all incidents, and officers may request community responders, cancel their response, or take over any situation as needed. As this is a pilot program, the exact volume and nature of the work is not yet known, but it is anticipated that the greatest impact will come through proactive engagement and officer -requested responses. The program is expected to begin in early to mid -summer and run through the remainder of the year, after which the City and County will evaluate its effectiveness and report back on the results.

The purpose of this agreement is to continue the placement of a Ramsey County social worker within Maplewood Public Safety. This partnership is critical to maintaining effective co -response capabilities, enabling timely follow- up with community members, and ensuring immediate access to needed services and resources. The embedded social worker model strengthens our ability to respond to complex situations, connect individuals with appropriate support, and improve overall outcomes for the community. Recommended Action: Motion to approve Joint Powers Agreements with the City of Maplewood and Ramsey County. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? ❑ No ✓ Yes, the true or estimated cost is =$75,000-$80,000 Financing source(s): ❑ Adopted Budget ❑ Budget Modification ❑ New Revenue Source ❑ Use of Reserves ✓ Other: Opioid Settlement funds that were dedicated to the ESW program Strategic Plan Relevance: ✓ Safety 0 Focus Area: Ensure public safety and effective emergency response ❑ Sustainability 0 Focus Area: ❑ Development 0 Focus Area: City Council Packet Page Number 41 of 501 G5 Background: In April 2021, Ramsey County assigned a full-time, crisis -trained Embedded Social Worker (ESW) to be able to work alongside public safety. Since that time, the City has had one (1) to two (2) full- time social workers assigned to the program. The program has been tremendously successful and is a vital resource due to the City's unique approach, which prioritizes follow-up with community members in need while still allowing for co - response when beneficial. In 2025, the Maplewood Police Department responded to 956 emergency calls in which mental health was identified as the primary reason for the police response. Of those, 502 were dispatched as calls involving an individual experiencing a crisis, and 35 were calls reporting suicides in progress. These numbers do not include completed suicides. During 2025, the ESW not only conducted follow-up on all calls involving mental illness, but also followed up with victims of domestic violence, families who experienced a suicide or violent loss, and community members in need of additional assistance, including stable housing, food, utilities, and other basic needs. The ESW connected with community members on 1,579 incidents. In addition to the initial incident, the ESW provides ongoing short-term follow-up, helping ensure community members do not fall through the cracks of often confusing and siloed systems and that their needs continue to be met. The ESW also works closely with several group homes in the community to address issues that drive excessive calls for service. The attached agreement is the third Joint Powers Agreement between the City and Ramsey County for the Embedded Social Worker (ESW) program. Due to Ramsey County budgetary constraints, this agreement is for a one-year term and provides for the continuation of one ESW. Previous agreements included cost -sharing for the ESW program, with the City funding a second ESW when assigned. This Joint Powers Agreement shifts 75% of the cost of the ESW to the City due to the unique nature of the position and the lack of revenue generation. Traditionally, Ramsey County social workers bill for portions of care (for most, if not all, client engagements), which helps fund programs. The work of the ESW differs significantly from traditional social work, as most of the services provided are non -billable. This funding structure was anticipated by the City. Opioid settlement funds received by the City were set aside and dedicated to supporting the ESW position. According to Finance Director Rueb, the current balance of those funds is $126,298.53. Since 2022, the City has received payments at different times and in varying amounts which are listed below: 2022: $81,419.39 2023: $20,208.33 2024: $123,012.58 2025: $41, 550.82 The City has not yet received any opioid settlement funds in 2026.

Public Hearing 7:00 pm b. Ordinance Establishing Storm Sewer Improvement Tax District (4 votes) c. Resolution Authorizing Publication by Title and Summary (4 votes) Action Requested: ✓ Motion ❑ Discussion ✓ Public Hearing Form of Action: ✓ Resolution ✓ Ordinance ❑ Contract/Agreement ❑ Proclamation Summary: The City Council will consider adopting an ordinance to establish a storm sewer improvement district for the townhome portion of the Century Ponds development. The goal is to establish a funding stream, if needed, for the repair or maintenance of the private storm sewer system. State law allows cities to create storm sewer improvement tax districts within specific areas of the community. The proposed district will apply only to the townhouses within the Century Ponds subdivision, as only those units are served by privately owned stormwater facilities. Recommended Action: a. Hold a Public Hearing b. Motion to adopt the ordinance establishing the Century Ponds storm sewer improvement tax district. (This will require four affirmative votes.) C. Motion to adopt the resolution authorizing publication of the ordinance by title and summary. (This will require four affirmative votes.) 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: n/a Strategic Plan Relevance: ✓ Safety 0 Focus Area: Maintain and enhance infrastructure and environmental systems ❑ Sustainability 0 Focus Area: ✓ Development 0 Focus Area: Promote residential development and thoughtful redevelopment The storm sewer tax district would allow the City to correct any deficiencies in the private storm sewer systems within the townhome area of the Century Ponds development if the homeowner's Council Packeet Page Number 57 of 501 H1 association fails to properly maintain them. Ensuring these private storm sewer systems are properly maintained will help protect the quality of downstream waterbodies. Background: The Century Ponds Development includes an area of townhomes that are proposed to be served by a private storm sewer system. The property owners within a subdivision served by private stormwater facilities are responsible for maintaining the private stormwater ponds and similar facilities. If the property owners fail to maintain the facilities, the City has the right, but not the obligation, to perform the necessary work and recover the costs through a tax levied only on properties within the storm sewer improvement tax district. Establishing the district will not require the City to take any action in the immediate future. If the private stormwater facilities are maintained by the homeowners as required, the City will never have to take any action. The district serves as an insurance policy if the private parties are not maintaining the facilities, and the City chooses to intervene. This ordinance allows the City to acquire, construct, reconstruct, extend, maintain, and otherwise improve the private storm sewer systems and related facilities within and outside the district. If the City determines it must do work to maintain the facilities in the future, due to the failure of the homeowners to do so, the district is a mechanism which will allow the recovery of the City's costs by levying a tax against the properties within the district. Taxpayers outside the district would bear no cost and the City would not be required to demonstrate a special benefit as it would if the work were done under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429.

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. City Council Packet Page Number 63 of 501 11 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 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. On March 9, 2026, the city council approved the final plat for the first phase of this project and a preliminary development agreement. The Century Ponds final plat includes 84 single-family homes and 34 townhomes, and creates 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. As permitted by the preliminary development agreement, tree removal has occurred on the site. The site's former golf clubhouse has also been demolished. Planned Unit Development Aareement The planned unit development agreement establishes all conditions, obligations and requirements for the construction of the Century Ponds subdivision, including public improvements, private infrastructure, park dedication, stormwater management and environmental restoration. The agreement was drafted by the city attorney and has been reviewed by the developer and city staff. All parties agree to the conditions and requirements contained in the agreement. Before any construction can occur on the site, the developer is required to record with Ramsey County the final plat that the city council approved on March 9, 2026, execute the attached development agreement, receive approval of a grading permit from the city and submit a letter of credit in the amount of $4,755,173.73. Additional key points of the development agreement include ensuring that all required public and private improvements are made to the site, conveying the parcel of property for the public park to the city, and providing the required trail easements. All costs related to the construction of the park will be at the developer's expense but will not exceed $1,000,000. The agreement also details the 43.14-acre conservation easement that is to be granted to the city. Attachments: 1.

Work related to the construction of all structures within the Subdivision shall also be restricted to the hours of 7:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. d) The Developer hereby grants the City, its agents, employees, officers, and contractors a license to enter the Property to perform all work and inspections deemed appropriate by the City in conjunction with construction of the Subdivision Improvements and, generally, the development of the Property and this Agreement. e) As work on the Subdivision Improvements is completed, the Developer or the Developer's representative shall submit a written request to the City for an inspection of the improvements. The City will inspect the work and notify the Developer of corrections or repairs needed. 3. Erosion Control. a) All construction regarding the Subdivision Improvements shall be conducted in a manner designed to control erosion and in compliance with all City ordinances and other requirements, including the City's MS4 permit with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regarding its municipal separate storm sewer system program. Following the delivery of written notice to the Developer, the City may impose reasonable, additional erosion control requirements after the City's initial approval if the City, the Ramsey -Washington Metro Watershed 3 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 69 of 501 11, Attachment 1 District, or the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency deems such necessary due to imminent risk of uncontrolled erosion. All areas disturbed by the excavation shall be reseeded promptly after the completion of the work in that area unless construction of streets, utilities, buildings or other improvements is anticipated immediately thereafter. Except as otherwise provided in the erosion control plan, seed shall provide a temporary ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas shall be mulched and disc anchored as necessary for seed retention. The parties recognize that time is of the essence in controlling erosion. b) If the Developer does not comply with the erosion control plan and schedule or any supplementary instructions issued by the City, the City may take such action as it deems reasonably appropriate to control erosion based on the urgency of the situation. The City agrees to provide reasonable notice to the Developer in advance of any proposed action, including notice by telephone or email in the case of emergencies, but limited or no notice by the City when emergency conditions so require will not affect the Developer's obligations or the City's rights hereunder. c) The Developer agrees to reimburse the City for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in connection with any action it takes to control erosion. No grading of the Property or construction of the Subdivision Improvements will be allowed and no building permits will be issued within the Subdivision unless the Developer is in full compliance with the erosion control requirements provided herein. The erosion control measures specified in the Plans or otherwise required within the Subdivision shall be binding on the Developer and its successors and assigns. 4. Site Grading; Haul Routes. a) To construct the Subdivision Improvements and otherwise prepare the Property for development, it will be necessary for the Developer to grade the Property based on the approved Plans and specifications for the Subdivision. All site and other grading must be done in compliance with the Plans. The City may withhold issuance of a building permit for any structure within the Subdivision until the approved certified grading plan is on file with the City and all erosion control measures are in place as reasonably determined by the City. Within 30 days after completion of the grading, or such other period acceptable to the City's engineer, the Developer shall provide the City with an "as constructed" grading plan and a certification by a registered land surveyor or engineer. b) The Developer agrees that construction traffic and any fill material which must be brought to or removed from the Property while grading or during construction of the Subdivision Improvements or any structures within the Subdivision will be transported using the haul route established by the City. The City designates Century Avenue to Lower Afton as Haul Route A. Haul Route A will serve as the primary haul route. The City designates Century Avenue to Linwood Avenue as Haul Route B. To the maximum extent possible, contractors must use Haul Route A. The Developer, its contractors and subcontractors and all parties constructing the Subdivision Improvements, or structures within the Subdivision using heavy vehicles are specifically prohibited from using that portion of Linwood Avenue between the western boundary of the Property and McKnight Road for these purposes. In addition, the Developer agrees to use its best efforts to encourage all other construction vehicles to avoid using Linwood Avenue. No parking of vehicles or construction equipment is allowed on Linwood Avenue. c) The City will require a grading plan covering the property and 50 feet from the boundaries of the property to be submitted with each building permit for a home or any structure 4 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 70 of 501 11, Attachment 1 and will review the individual grading plans to ensure they are not in conflict with the approved grading plan for the Subdivision. It will be necessary for building permit grading plans to include abutting properties to verify the proposed grading does not adversely affect them. After final grading, an as -built grading plan showing the garage, lowest floor and key drainage location elevations shall be submitted to the City. 5. Construction of Subdivision Improvements. a) All Subdivision Improvements shall be installed in accordance with the Plans, the City Approvals, this Agreement, the City's subdivision regulations, and the requirements of the City engineer's report dated September 4, 2025. The Developer shall submit plans and specifications for the Subdivision Improvements prepared by a registered professional engineer. The Developer shall obtain any necessary permits from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Ramsey -Washington Metro Watershed District, Ramsey County, Washington County, and any other agency having jurisdiction over the Subdivision before proceeding with construction. The Developer shall also comply with the requirements of the letter from the Ramsey -Washington Metro Watershed District dated February 4, 2026. The City or its consultant shall inspect all work at the Developer's expense. The Developer and its contractors and subcontractors shall follow all instructions received from the City's inspectors. The Developer shall provide to the City or its consultant copies of all geotechnical testing results promptly after receipt. Any failing test results shall be corrected promptly in accordance with the Plans and specifications. Prior to beginning construction on the Subdivision Improvements, the Developer and the City shall have agreed on a construction management plan and the Developer or the Developer's engineer shall attend a preconstruction meeting with all parties concerned, including the City staff and engineers, to review the program for the construction work. b) Within 45 days after the completion of each element of the Subdivision Improvements or such longer period as may be reasonable based on seasonal weather conditions, the Developer shall supply the City with a complete set of "as constructed" plans prepared in accordance with City standards, in AutoCAD and PDF format based on Ramsey County coordinates. Stormwater "as constructed" plans shall also be submitted to the City in GIS format compatible with ArcMap 10.3 in the coordinates and with the attributes directed by the City engineer. Iron monuments must be installed in the Subdivision in accordance with state law. The Developer's surveyor shall submit a written notice to the City certifying that the monuments have been installed. Subject to events of force majeure, all Subdivision Improvements required by this Agreement shall be completed by no later than October 31, 2027 except as specifically noted otherwise in this Agreement. For purposes of this section, completion of the restoration work in the Conservation Area means completion of the plantings but does not include establishment of the vegetation. c) The Developer agrees to reimburse the City fully for the reasonable cost of all Subdivision Improvement repairs or replacement if the cost thereof exceeds the remaining amount of the Letter of Credit. Such reimbursement must be made within 45 days of the date upon which the City notifies the Developer of the cost due under this section. The City's notice shall include reasonable documentation to support such expenses. If the Developer fails to make required payments to the City, the Developer hereby consents to the City levying special assessments for any unreimbursed amount associated with such costs against the lots within the Subdivision benefitted by such improvements, except those which have previously been sold to homeowners. MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 71 of 501 11, Attachment 1 The Developer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, acknowledges the benefit to the lots within the Subdivision of the repair or replacement of the Subdivision Improvements and hereby consents to such assessment and waives the right to a hearing or notice of hearing or any appeal thereon under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. d) No building permit shall be issued for structures within the Subdivision until adequate street access is available to the lot in question. If building permits are issued for structures prior to the completion of all Subdivision Improvements serving the lot or lots, the final wear course of bituminous excepted, the Developer assumes all liability and costs resulting in delays in completion of the Subdivision Improvements and damage to the Subdivision Improvements caused by the Developer, its contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, employees, agents, or third parties. No temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any structure within the Subdivision until all Subdivision Improvements that are required for the occupancy of such structure have been completed, except for the final wear course paving and the restoration work in the Conservation Area. e) The Developer shall be responsible for all maintenance of the Public Improvements including the snow plowing of the streets, trails, and sidewalks, until the Public Improvements are accepted for maintenance in writing by the City, except that the Developer or the HOA will continue to be responsible for winter maintenance of the sidewalks serving the single-family units. The Developer and its contractors must adhere to the City's weight restrictions for all streets both inside and outside of the Subdivision, regardless of whether said streets are included in the City's map of streets with weight restrictions and regardless of whether said streets are fully constructed. In the event residences are occupied prior to completing the wear surface of the streets, the Developer shall provide and maintain a proper surface to ensure that the streets are passable for traffic and emergency vehicles. The Developer shall be responsible for keeping streets within and outside of the Subdivision clean and clear of dirt and debris that may spill, track, or wash onto the street from the Developer's operations. The Developer shall contract for street cleaning for streets within and immediately adjacent to the Subdivision. At a minimum, scraping and sweeping shall take place on a weekly basis and on a daily basis during heavy tracking days in accordance with NPDES and grading permit regulations. 6. Streets and Trails. a) Public Streets. The streets and sidewalks serving the single- family units are Public Improvements. The developer shall be responsible for constructing the public streets in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. The developer and its successors shall be responsible for winter maintenance and repairs of the public streets until they are fully constructed and ownership is accepted by the City in writing and shall continue to be responsible for winter maintenance of the sidewalk after dedication to the public. The Developer shall not install the final bituminous wear course until after the first bituminous course has weathered a winter season and at least 80 percent of the homes involved by that street or street segment have been constructed, whichever occurs later. Prior to placement of the final bituminous wear course, the Developer shall repair or replace all broken or failing curbs, sidewalks and damaged or settled streets as determined by the City. b) Private Townhome Streets. The streets and sidewalks serving the townhouse units are Private Improvements. The Developer shall be responsible for building the private townhome streets according to the approved plans and specifications and the requirement of PUD-01. The City shall not be responsible for any maintenance of the private streets or sidewalks, including on MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 72 of 501 11, Attachment 1 winter maintenance. The Developer acknowledges that the design of the private streets is subject to the review and approval of the City engineer and the fire marshal to ensure adequate circulation and emergency vehicle access in compliance with all applicable law. The Developer and its successors and assigns shall be responsible for the removal of all snow and ice and all maintenance, repair and reconstruction of the private townhome streets until such responsibility is assumed by the townhouse homeowners' association (the "Townhouse HOA"). The Developer and the City shall enter into a Private Road Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. The Private Road Agreement will give the City the right but not an obligation to repair or reconstruct the private streets at the expense of the Developer or the owners of the townhouse lots if their condition poses a risk to public safety and the Developer or Townhouse HOA has failed to do so after reasonable opportunity. The City shall be entitled to recover any cost it incurs in repairing or reconstructing the private streets through special assessments against benefited properties. c) Trails. Trails will be constructed to serve both the single-family and townhouse areas and will be public. Some of the trails include portions consisting of boardwalks. The Developer agrees to evaluate the condition of the existing boardwalks, provide the City with a report on their condition and correct any deficiencies prior to acceptance of the public trails by the City. The Developer agrees to convey easements to the City for the public trails after their construction and precise locations have been determined by as -built survey. 7. Sanitary Sewer System and Water System. a) The Developer agrees to construct the sanitary sewer system elements of the Subdivision Improvements to serve the lots within the Subdivision. The sanitary sewer improvements serving the single-family units are Public Improvements. The sanitary sewer improvements serving the townhouse units are Private Improvements. All work in constructing the sanitary sewer improvements must comply with all City, Saint Paul Regional Water Services, city of Woodbury, Metropolitan Council, and state requirements. The sanitary sewer system elements that are Private Improvements will remain private and will not be owned or maintained by the City. The Developer shall provide that the Townhouse HOA requires all townhouse owners to abide by a common management plan for maintenance and repair of the private sanitary sewer system. b) The water system serving both the single-family and the townhouse units will be constructed by the Developer but will be owned and managed by Saint Paul Regional Water Services. The Developer will be required to enter into a Water Utility Agreement with Saint Paul Regional Water Services. 8. Stormwater Improvements. a) The stormwater facilities will be constructed by the Developer in accordance with the Plans and in compliance with all City requirements regarding such improvements. The stormwater facilities include the ponds, filtration/infiltration basins, pipes, and structures shown on the Plans. The stormwater facilities are located within the portion of the Subdivision subject to the Conservation Easement. The Conservation Easement permits such facilities to be constructed and maintained within the Conservation Area. The City will also have drainage and utility easements over the stormwater facilities, which easements will partially overlap the Conservation Easement. 7 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 73 of 501 11, Attachment 1 b) The stormwater facilities serving the single-family units are Public Improvements. After completion, inspection by the City and receipt of a warranty bond from the Developer, the City will accept these Public Improvements for maintenance. c) The stormwater facilities serving the townhomes are Private Improvements and will be maintained by the Developer at its sole expense until taken over by the Townhouse HOA. The City does not intend to accept the townhouse stormwater facilities as public and does not intend to maintain them. To meet the requirements of the Ramsey -Washington Metro Watershed District and City code, the Developer agrees to enter into a Stormwater Maintenance Agreement with the City and the Ramsey -Washington Metro Watershed District in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. The purpose of the Stormwater Maintenance Agreement is to ensure that the Developer maintains the stormwater facilities until taken over by the Townhouse HOA, and to give the City the right but not the obligation to do so if the Developer or the Townhouse HOA fails in its obligations. The Stormwater Maintenance Agreement will be recorded against the lots in the townhouse portion of the Subdivision and will run with the land and be binding on the Developer and its successors and assigns. The Developer acknowledges that, with regard to the stormwater facilities serving the townhouse units, (i) the stormwater facilities have not and will not be accepted by the City; (ii) the City does not plan to maintain or pay for maintenance, repair or replacement of the stormwater facilities and that the Developer and ultimately the Townhouse HOA will have primary responsibility for such work; (iii) the City has the right but not the obligation to perform necessary work upon the failure or refusal by the Developer or Townhouse HOA to do so pursuant to the Stormwater Maintenance Agreement; and (iv) if, pursuant to the terms of the Stormwater Maintenance Agreement, the City performs any work on the stormwater facilities after reasonable notice to the Developer or Townhouse HOA and the failure of the Developer or Townhouse HOA to perform the work, the City intends to seek reimbursement for the cost of such work against the townhouse lots within the Subdivision through special assessments or otherwise. d) The Developer intends to assign responsibility to the Townhouse HOA for the maintenance, repair or replacement of the private stormwater facilities as needed and the Townhouse HOA documents recorded with Ramsey County will so require. The Townhouse HOA shall be responsible for the maintenance, repair or replacement of all private stormwater facilities serving the townhouse lots in the Subdivision. The Developer agrees to inform purchasers of the townhouse lots within the Subdivision that (i) the City does not plan to maintain or pay for maintenance, repair or replacement of the private stormwater facilities and that the Townhouse HOA will have primary responsibility for such work; (ii) the City has the right but not the obligation to perform necessary work upon the failure or refusal by the Townhouse HOA to do so; and (iii) if the City performs any work on the stormwater facilities after reasonable notice to the Developer or Townhouse HOA and the failure of the Developer or Townhouse HOA to perform the work, the City intends to recover the cost of such work against the townhouse lots within the Subdivision. e) The Developer acknowledges that the City intends to establish a storm sewer improvement tax district (the "District") which includes all of the townhouse lots within the Subdivision. The District will be established pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 444.16 to 444.21 and will authorize the City to acquire, construct, reconstruct, extend, maintain, and otherwise improve storm sewer systems and related improvements within or serving the townhouse lots in the Subdivision if such work becomes necessary in the opinion of the City based on the Developer's or the Townhouse HOA's failure to perform pursuant to this Agreement and the MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 74 of 501 11, Attachment 1 Stormwater Maintenance Agreement. In recognition of this possibility, the Developer agrees to provide prospective townhouse purchasers with a disclosure statement informing them of the existence of the District and that a tax could be imposed on the townhouse lots within the Subdivision if the City is required to repair or maintain the storm sewer systems and related improvements. The wording of the disclosure statement must be approved by the City for use in connection with the sale of townhouses in the Subdivision prior to its distribution or use by the Developer. 9. Landscaping Plan; Sign Plan. a) The Developer and its successors and assigns agree to install landscaping in accordance with the City approved Landscape Plan. All landscaping materials shall be maintained and replaced if they die within two years after planting. b) The Developer plans to construct signage for the Subdivision on Outlot H and Lot 23, Block 7. All signs must be approved by the City prior to construction and be in compliance with the City's sign regulations. 10. Street Lighting and Signs. a) The Developer agrees to have Xcel Energy install all LED street lighting in the single-family and townhome areas at the Developer's sole cost. Prior to the issuance of any building permits, the Developer shall submit lighting details to the City for review and approval by City staff. In the single-family portion of the Subdivision, if the Developer has Xcel Energy install LED street lighting fixtures consistent with Xcel Energy's standards for residential street lighting, the City will be responsible for all maintenance and replacement costs not covered by Xcel Energy and will pay the costs for the electricity thereafter. In the townhome portion of the Subdivision, if the Developer has Xcel Energy install LED street lighting fixtures consistent with Xcel's standards for residential street lighting, the Developer or HOA will be responsible for all maintenance and replacement costs not covered by Xcel Energy and will pay the costs for the electricity thereafter. Street light fixtures in the townhouse area will remain private. b) The Developer agrees to install street signs within the Subdivision at its sole cost. All street signs within the Subdivision will be purchased by the Developer from the City and installed at the Developer's expense. Street signs within the townhome area will remain private and the Developer or HOA will be responsible for all maintenance and replacement costs. 11. Conservation Easement; Stewardship Plan. a) Century Ponds consists of 92.25 acres and was previously used as a golf course and for other purposes. It is the desire of the Developer and the basis under which the City has granted the City Approvals, and specifically PUD-01, that the Subdivision be developed with single-family detached and townhome dwellings on individual lots but that a substantial portion of the Property be preserved and returned to its pre - development condition. An area containing 43.14 acres of Century Ponds (the "Conservation Area") is being set aside by the Developer and will be subject to a conservation easement (the "Conservation Easement") in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. To achieve the desired restoration and enhancement objectives, the Developer agrees to convey the Conservation Easement to the City at the time of recording the plat of Century Ponds. The City is a qualified holder ("Holder") of the Conservation Easement under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 84C. b) The Developer will perform the restoration work in accordance with the Stewardship Plan (the "SP") attached hereto as Exhibit B of the Conservation Easement pursuant 9 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 75 of 501 11, Attachment 1 to a contract with an entity qualified to conduct such work. The City and the Developer acknowledge that the restoration work may need to be revised as field conditions dictate and the parties agree to cooperate in adjusting the SP accordingly. The Developer also agrees to provide a level of field inspection of the restoration work as set forth in the SP. c) The Developer shall maintain the Conservation Area on an ongoing basis in accordance with the SP. The Developer intends to assign its obligations regarding maintenance under the SP to a master homeowners' association (the "Master HOA") established for the single- family and townhouse lots. Additionally, the Developer agrees to cause the Master HOA to employ an ecologist or other expert who is knowledgeable about site preservation and restoration to maintain the Conservation Area in accordance with the SP. d) Upon successful establishment of the vegetation in the Conservation Area, the Developer will ensure that the maintenance account has sufficient funds for three years of maintenance. Thereafter, the Master HOA shall establish fees or assessments against the lots in the Subdivision sufficient to sustain ongoing maintenance work. e) The Conservation Easement provides for primary responsibility for enforcement of the terms and conditions of the Conservation Easement by the Holder. The City is the Holder. The City intends to recover any costs or expenses it incurs in such enforcement efforts against all of the lots in the Subdivision by any means available to it, including through special assessments against the lots. The Master HOA documents shall so inform all lot owners. The Developer, for itself and its successors and assigns, acknowledges the benefit to the lots for such work and hereby consents to the City specially assessing all of the lots within the Subdivision for the reasonable cost of enforcement work by the City as Holder and waives the right to a hearing or notice of a hearing or any appeal under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. 12. Letter of Credit. a) To ensure completion of the Subdivision Improvements required under this Agreement and satisfaction of all fees due to the City, the Developer agrees to deliver to the City prior to beginning any construction or work within the Subdivision a letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") in the amount of $4,755,173.73, which represents 150 percent of the estimated cost of the Subdivision Improvements as specified in the Plans, including the restoration work in the Conservation Area. This amount represents the maximum risk exposure for the City, based on the anticipated sequence of construction and the estimate of cost of each element of the Subdivision Improvements, rather than the aggregate cost of all required Subdivision Improvements. The Letter of Credit shall be delivered to the City prior to beginning any work on the Subdivision Improvements and shall renew automatically thereafter until released by the City. The estimated costs of the Subdivision Improvements covered by the Letter of Credit is itemized on Exhibit D attached hereto. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a bank acceptable to the City and shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the City. The Letter of Credit shall allow the City to draw upon the instrument, in whole or part, to complete construction of any or all of the Subdivision Improvements and to pay any reasonable fees or costs due to the City by the Developer after written notice to Developer and Developer's failure to cure the default within a reasonable period. b) As the Developer completes elements of the Subdivision Improvements, the City agrees to reduce the Letter of Credit to an amount roughly equal to 150 percent of the cost of the 10 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 76 of 501 11, Attachment 1 remaining work, subject to satisfaction of all of the Developer's financial obligations to the City. The Letter of Credit shall be released in full and returned to the Developer within 30 days of (i) completion of all of the Subdivision Improvements included in the calculation of the Letter of Credit and delivery to the City of the required warranty bond(s); (ii) expiration of the two-year warranty period for the landscaping; and (iii) satisfaction of all financial obligations by the Developer to the City. Prior to releasing any portion of the Letter of Credit or accepting another letter of credit in replacement, the City shall first be satisfied that all work regarding the Subdivision Improvements has been completed according to the Plans. c) It is the intention of the parties that the City at all times have available to it a Letter of Credit in an amount adequate to ensure completion of all elements of the Subdivision Improvements and satisfaction of the Developer's financial obligations to the City under this Agreement. To that end and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all requests by the Developer for a reduction or release of the Letter of Credit shall be evaluated by the City in light of that principle. d) If at any time the City reasonably concludes that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit is no longer solvent, the City shall notify the Developer and the Developer shall provide to the City within 30 days a substitute Letter of Credit from another bank meeting the City's requirements. If within 30 days of notice, the Developer fails to provide the City with a substitute Letter of Credit from an issuing bank satisfactory to the City, the City may draw under the existing Letter of Credit. 13. Homeowners' Association. The Developer agrees to establish one or more homeowners' associations (the "HOAs"), encompassing all of the Property. The Developer agrees to record covenants against said land subject to the HOAs, which covenants must be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the City. The covenants shall be filed by the Developer with Ramsey County prior to any building permits being issued for the Subdivision. The relevant HOA covenants must provide, among other things, for HOA maintenance of the private stormwater facilities, the Conservation Area and all common areas in the Subdivision. The HOA covenants shall also include provisions related to the required minimum balance of the Conservation Area maintenance account, reporting requirements and acknowledgment that the City has the right to specially assess the lots within the Subdivision for costs of the City in enforcing the Conservation Easement, which costs are deemed to be a benefit to the lots within the Subdivision. The City must approve the HOA covenants and will require that certain provisions thereof may not be amended or deleted without prior written City approval. 14. Wetland Buffer Requirements. The City requires that wetland buffers be established around wetlands to protect the water quality of the wetlands. City agrees to allow such wetland buffer areas to be restored and maintained in accordance with the Conservation Easement and SP. The Developer agrees to make the HOAs responsible for its maintenance obligations under the Conservation Easement Agreement and that the HOA documents recorded with Ramsey County will so require. 15. Official Controls. The Developer intends to phase development of Century Ponds over several years as market conditions warrant. Final Plat approval was granted by the City on March 9, 2026. This Agreement applies to all of the Property. The City agrees not to enact any 11 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 77 of 501 11, Attachment 1 amendment to its comprehensive plan or official controls as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 462.358, Subd. 3c, which would apply to or affect the use, development density, lot size, lot layout or dedication or platting required or permitted by the plat of Century Ponds, the PUD-01 General Plan or the Plans until December 31, 2031 providing that the Developer is not in default under this Agreement. 16. Park Dedication Requirements. To satisfy PUD-01 and the park dedication requirements for the Subdivision, the Developer agrees to deliver to the City a warranty deed for Outlot K, Century Ponds and convey easements for the trails shown on the Plans. To allow for the exact location of the trails to be determined in the field, the City will permit the Developer to convey the trail easements to the City as the trail locations are finalized. In addition to conveyance of Outlot K and easements for the trails, the Developer agrees to make improvements to the park in accordance with a park improvement plan to be agreed upon by the Developer and the City prior to any construction or installation of improvements in the park. The Developer shall also provide the City a letter of credit in the amount of 125 percent of the estimated cost of the park landscaping if such is not included in the Letter of Credit required by section 12 a) of this Agreement. All improvements made to the park shall be at the Developer's expense but such costs shall not exceed $1,000,000. All park improvements must be completed by the Developer by no later than October 30, 2027. The Developer agrees to provide paid invoices and lien waivers to verify the actual and reasonable cost of the improvements. 17. Responsibility for Costs; Escrow for Construction Inspection. a) The Developer agrees to pay to the City an administrative fee in the amount necessary to reimburse the City for its reasonable costs and expenses in reviewing the Subdivision, including the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. The City agrees to invoice the Developer on a monthly basis for these costs and expenses. The Developer agrees to reimburse the City in full for such reasonable costs within 45 days after notice in writing by the City. The Developer agrees to reimburse the City for the reasonable cost incurred in the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, including engineering and attorneys' fees. b) The Developer shall also pay a reasonable fee for City construction observation and administration relating to construction of the Subdivision Improvements. To reimburse the City for the reasonable cost of inspection of the Subdivision Improvements, the Developer shall deposit an additional $25,000 into an escrow account with the City, which shall receive and hold such funds solely under the terms of this Agreement. The City shall reimburse itself for expenses from the escrow and will provide the Developer with a copy of any invoice from the City engineer or evidence of other cost or expense attributed to the escrow prior to deducting such funds from the escrow. If any funds held under this escrow exceed the amount necessary to reimburse the City for its costs under this section, such funds shall be returned to the Developer without interest. If it appears that the actual costs incurred will exceed the estimate, the Developer and the City shall review the costs required to complete the project and the Developer shall deposit additional sums with the City. 18. Default. In the event of default by the Developer as to construction or repair of any of the Subdivision Improvements or any other work or undertaking required by this Agreement, and such default continues for 30 days after the City provides written notice to the Developer of the nature of the default pursuant to the notice requirements in this Agreement, or if such default 12 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 78 of 501 11, Attachment 1 cannot be cured within 30 days, after such time period as may be reasonably required to cure the default provided that Developer is making a good faith effort to cure said default, the City may, at its option, perform the work and the Developer shall promptly reimburse the City for any reasonable expense incurred by the City. This Agreement is a license for the City to act, and it shall not be necessary for the City to seek an order from any court for permission to enter the Property for such purposes. If the City does any such work, the City may, in addition to its other remedies, levy special assessments against the benefited land within the Subdivision to recover the costs thereof. For this purpose, the Developer, for itself and its successors and assigns, expressly waives any and all procedural and substantive objections to the special assessments, including but not limited to, hearing requirements and any claim that the assessments exceed the benefit to the land so assessed. The Developer, for itself and its successors and assigns, also waives any appeal rights otherwise available pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 429.081. 19. Insurance. The Developer agrees to take out and maintain or cause to be taken out and maintained until six months after the City has accepted the Public Improvements, public liability and property damage insurance covering personal injury, including death, and claims for property damage which may arise out of Developer's work or the work of its contractors or subcontractors. Liability limits shall not be less than $1,000,000 when the claim is one for death by wrongful act or omission or for any other claim and $1,500,000 for any number of claims arising out of a single occurrence. The City shall be named as an additional insured on the policy. The certificate of insurance shall provide that the City must be given the same advance written notice of the cancellation of the insurance as is afforded to the Developer. 20. No Building Permits Approved; Certificates of Occupancy. a) Any approvals granted to date by the City regarding the Subdivision do not include approval of a building permit for any structure within the Subdivision. The Developer or its successors or assignees must submit and the City must approve building plans prior to approval of a building permit for a structure on any lot within the Subdivision. The grading on all building pads must be verified prior to initiation of construction of a home on a lot. The Developer or the party applying for a building permit shall be responsible for payment of the customary fees associated with the building permit and all other deferred fees as specified in this Agreement. Prior to building permit issuance, the Developer must supply an updated map layout reflecting which home types are constructed next to or across the street from the home for which the permit was submitted to ensure no duplication of housing types next to or across from the new home site. b) No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any home constructed in the Subdivision unless prior thereto the lot has been graded and all landscaping installed in accordance with the Plans, the sanitary sewer service, water service, and driveway have been installed, and an as built survey of the lot has been submitted and approved by the City. In cases in which seasonal weather conditions make compliance with these conditions impossible, the City may accept an escrow of an amount sufficient to ensure completion of the work during the following construction season, as reasonably determined by the City. In such cases, this Agreement also constitutes permission for the City to enter onto such lot(s) to complete the work. Such permission runs with the land and binds the Developer and its successors and assigns. 21. Clean up and Dust Control. The Developer shall comply with the requirements of section 5 e) of this Agreement regarding cleaning dirt and debris from streets adjoining the 13 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 79 of 501 11, Attachment 1 Subdivision resulting from construction work by the Developer, its contractors, agents or assigns, including any party constructing houses within the Subdivision. Prior to any construction on the Property or adjacent areas, the Developer shall identify to the City in writing a responsible party for erosion control, street cleaning, and street sweeping. The Developer shall provide dust control to the satisfaction of the City's engineer throughout construction within the Subdivision and in compliance with the construction management plan. Erosion and sediment control measures shall comply with MPCA regulations. 22. Compliance with Laws. The Developer agrees to comply with all laws, resolutions, ordinances, regulations and directives of the state of Minnesota and the City applicable to the Subdivision. This Agreement shall be construed according to the laws of Minnesota. Breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Developer shall be grounds for denial of building permits for structures on the lots within the Subdivision. 23. Agreement Runs With the Land. This Agreement shall run with the Property and shall be recorded against the title thereto and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the City and the Developer and their successors and assigns. The Developer warrants that to Developer's knowledge as of the date hereof, there are no unrecorded encumbrances or interests relating to the Property. 24. Indemnification. The Developer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the City and its officers, employees, and agents harmless from claims made by third parties for damages sustained or costs incurred resulting from approval of the Subdivision or the construction of any improvements therein. The Developer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the City and its officers, employees, and agents harmless for all reasonable costs, damages, or expenses which the City may pay or incur in consequence of such claims, including attorneys' fees, except matters involving intentional acts or gross negligence by the City. 25. Assignment. The Developer may not assign this Agreement without the prior written permission of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or denied. 26. Notices. Any notice or correspondence to be given under this Agreement shall be deemed to be given if delivered personally or sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested: a) as to Developer: Century Ponds of MN LLC 13432 Hanson Blvd NW Andover, MN 55304 Attention: Nathan Fair b) as to City: City of Maplewood 1830 County Road B East Maplewood, MN 55109 Attention: City Manager 14 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 80 of 501 11, Attachment 1 with a copy to: Ronald H.

The Developer shall promptly notify the City if there is any change in its name or address. 27. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall pertain only to such section and shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other section or provision of this Agreement. 28. Non -waiver. Each right, power or remedy conferred upon the City or the Developer by this Agreement is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, now or hereafter arising, or available to the City or the Developer at law or in equity, or under any other agreement. Each and every right, power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be exercised from time to time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the City or the Developer and shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at any time thereafter any other right, power or remedy. If either Party waives in writing any default or nonperformance by the other Party, such waiver shall be deemed to apply only to such event and shall not waive any other prior or subsequent default. 29. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and shall constitute one and the same Agreement. ****************** 15 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 81 of 501 11, Attachment 1 IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed on the day and year first above written.

RECITALS: A. OWNER. The Owner is the fee simple owner of the real property in the city of Maplewood, platted as Century Ponds, Ramsey County, Minnesota (the "Plat"). A portion of the land within the Plat will be subject to this Conservation Easement (the "Protected Property") . The Protected Property is legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto. B. PROTECTED PROPERTY. The Protected Property is approximately 43.14 acres in area and was most recently used as a golf course. The Owner has agreed to grant this Conservation Easement, in part, as a condition imposed by the City for approval of a Planned Unit Development ("PUD-01" or the "PUD") on the Protected Property and contiguous real property thereto (the "Residential Community"). In its PUD approval process, the City will reference "Ordinance #25-1055 establishing a Planned Unit Development for Century Ponds and amending the Official Zoning Map" and the Century Ponds final plat approved on March 9, 2026. C. CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA. The City is a municipal corporation under the laws of Minnesota. The City is a governmental entity which is qualified to hold conservation easements under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 84C and Section 170 (h) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. D. CONSERVATION POLICY. Preservation of the Protected Property will further those governmental policies established by the following: Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 84C, which recognizes the importance of private conservation efforts by authorizing conservation easements for the protection of natural, scenic, or open space values of real property, assuring its availability for agriculture, forest, recreational, or open space use, protecting natural resources, and maintaining or enhancing air or water quality; and The Metropolitan Surface Water Act, included in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 10313, which specifically identifies the importance of protecting the natural surface waters and ground waters of the Metropolitan Area. E-1 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 94 of 501 11, Attachment 1 E. CONSERVATION INTENT. It is the Parties' intent to create and implement a conservation easement that is binding in perpetuity upon the Owner and all future owners of the Protected Property and that conveys to the City as the Holder, as that term is defined in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 84C, the right to protect and preserve the Protected Property for the benefit of this generation and generations to come, pursuant to the terms of this Conservation Easement. F. DOCUMENTATION. The current condition of the Protected Property will be described and documented in the Stewardship Plan that the Owner and the City intend to complete and sign as soon as they are able after this Easement is executed (the "Property Report"). The Owner and the City each acknowledge that they will consider the Property Report to accurately represent the condition of the Protected Property at the time of this conveyance, except as the Property Report explicitly may provide otherwise, and that the Property Report may be used by the Parties in monitoring future uses of the Protected Property, in documenting compliance with the terms of this Easement and in any enforcement proceeding. Nothing herein precludes the use of other information and evidence to establish the present condition of the Protected Property in the event of a future controversy. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS: CONVEYANCE OF CONSERVATION EASEMENT: Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 84C, and in consideration of the Recitals above and the mutual covenants contained herein and in further consideration of the sum of one dollar and other valuable consideration, the Owner hereby grants to the City a perpetual, nonexclusive conservation easement over the Protected Property and as legally described and as generally depicted on Exhibits A and B and incorporated herein, respectively (the "Conservation Easement" or the "Easement").

To accomplish the purposes of this Easement, the City has the following rights and remedies, which it will exercise consistent with the PUD and the SP. 5.1. Right to Enter. The City, its agents and authorized representatives may enter the Protected Property at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner for the purpose of, and may engage in, the following activities: a. To inspect the Protected Property, monitor compliance with the terms of this Conservation Easement, and enforce the terms of this Conservation Easement as set forth herein. The City shall not unreasonably interfere with the legal and appropriate use and quiet enjoyment of the Protected Property by the Owner, the owners and occupants of the Residential Community, the homeowners' association for all portions of the Residential Community (the "Master HOA" or the "HOA"), users of the public trail, and any permitted invitees of those persons, collectively ("Permitted E-6 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 99 of 501 11, Attachment 1 Users") so long as such use is in a manner consistent with this Conservation Easement. To further the purposes as set out in this Section, the Owner hereby grants to the City a perpetual non- exclusive easement for the purpose of access to the Protected Property by reasonable means, on, over, and across all trails, public and private roads, rights of way and platted drainage and utility easements within the Residential Community. The foregoing notwithstanding, the easement granted in this Section 5.1.a. shall not encumber or be located on any individual residential lot included in the Residential Community. b. To survey or otherwise mark the boundaries of all or part of the Conservation Easement. Any survey or boundary demarcation completed under this provision will be at the City's expense. C. To make scientific and education observations and studies and take samples within the Protected Property, in such a manner as will not disturb the quiet enjoyment of the Protected Property. d.

Management may consist of, but not be limited to, planting, removing and maintaining native vegetation; modifying hydrology or soils; altering and stabilizing land; installing improvements for water quality and flood management purposes; erecting fencing or other measures to protect against intentional or unintentional impact; and installing and maintaining educational or informational signage. City actions under this paragraph are subject to Owner approval. 5.2 No Grant of Public Right. Nothing in this Section 5 shall be construed as: (i) a public dedication; or (ii) a grant of right to persons other than the City and Permitted Users to enter or use the Easement as provided in this Conservation Easement. Nothing in this Easement constitutes a general right of public entry onto or across the Easement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may allow for public entry in accordance with paragraph 3.11(b), above. 5.3. Right of Enforcement. If the City finds at any time that the Owner has breached the terms of this Conservation Easement, the City will notify the Owner of the alleged breach and direct the Owner to take action to cure the default. If such action is not taken, the City may give written notice detailing the breach to the Owner and demand action to cure the breach including, without limitation, restoration of the Protected Property as required in this Conservation Easement. If the Owner does not cure the breach within 30 days from receipt of such notice, or such E-7 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 100 of 501 11, Attachment 1 longer time as may be reasonably required (provided that the Owner's efforts to cure the breach are commenced within said 30 day period and are diligently pursued toward completion), the City may commence an action to obtain one or more available remedies including but not limited to: (i) enforcing the terms of this Conservation Easement, (ii) enjoining the breach, or (iii) requiring restoration of the Protected Property to its condition prior to the Owner's breach. Specific performance is an available remedy without demonstration that it is the only adequate remedy. The notice and opportunity to cure is not required in the event that immediate action is reasonably necessary to prevent or mitigate significant and immediate damage to the Conservation Easement. a. Enforcement Costs. The Owner is responsible for reasonable costs that the City incurs, exclusive of periodic monitoring costs, to investigate potential Easement violations and for compliance activity. This includes reasonable costs of technical and legal assistance. The Owner will not contest the authority of the City to assess the City's reasonable and verifiable enforcement costs incurred in accordance with the procedures of this Subsection 5.3 against the Lots within the Residential Community in the same manner as assessable City costs, with any such assessments to be allocated amongst the Lots in a fair and equitable manner. b. Attorneys' Fees. Notwithstanding paragraph 5.3 (a) , the prevailing Party in a judicial action under this Easement shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non -prevailing Party for all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the prevailing Party incurred after filing of the action. The Parties waive their right to a jury trial on the issues of which is the prevailing Party and the reasonable amount of attorneys' fees and costs to be awarded to the prevailing Party. Those issues will be decided by the trial judge upon motion by one or both Parties, such motion to be decided based on the record as of the end of trial augmented only by testimony and/or affidavits from the attorneys and their staff. The Parties agree that, subject to the trial judge's discretion, the intent of this clause is to have all issues related to the award of attorneys' fees and costs decided by the trial judge as quickly as practicable. Discretionary Enforcement. The City does not, by any delay or prior failure of the City to discover a violation or initiate enforcement proceedings, waive or forfeit any enforcement right. d. Acts Beyond Owner's Control. The City will have no claim against the Owner for any change to the Protected Property: (i) not caused in whole or part by an action of the Owner or a party acting under the Owner's authority, or (ii) to the extent caused by an La MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 101 of 501 11, Attachment 1 action of the Owner, or of a party acting under the Owner's authority, taken reasonably and in good faith under emergency conditions to prevent or mitigate substantial damage from such conditions. e. Property Report. In any enforcement matter, the Property Report may be used as evidence as to the baseline condition of the Reserve Area, as may any other evidence meeting applicable standards for consideration. 6. PUBLIC ACCESS. Nothing in this Easement constitutes Owner's grant of general public access to the Easement Area. The terms of use of any general public trail under subsection 3.11 will be memorialized with a trail easement. 7. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 7.1. Assignment. This Easement, and any rights or responsibilities hereunder, may be assigned or transferred by the City to, or shared by the City with, a conservation organization that is a qualified organization under Section 170 (h) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and related regulations and that is authorized to hold conservation easements under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 84C. Any future holder of this Easement shall have all of the rights conveyed to the City by this Easement. As a condition of any assignment or transfer, the City shall require any future Holder of this Easement to continue to carry out the conservation purposes of this Easement in perpetuity. The City agrees not to transfer or assign the easement during the establishment period as identified within the SP, or until the HOA assumes responsibility for the Easement areas, whichever occurs first. Further, the City agrees that the HOA shall have the right to review the assignee and, within a reasonable time, find its own qualified organization if the HOA does not approve of the City's proposed assignee. The Owner has the right to convey title to the Protected Property to the HOA at times following the satisfaction of the duties and obligations of the Owner as identified in the LSP or as may be mandated by the HOA's bylaws and covenants. At such time, the HOA will assume the duties of the Owner for purposes of this Conservation Easement and the Owner will be released from all duties, obligations and liabilities under this Conservation Easement. Such conveyance will include: a. Any conveyance or encumbrance of the Protected Property is subject to this Easement; E-9 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 102 of 501 11, Attachment 1 b. The Owner will reference or insert the terms of this Easement in any deed or other document by which the Owner conveys title to all or a portion of the Protected Property; C. The Owner will reference or insert the terms of this Easement within the HOA documents and bylaws; d. The Owner will notify the City of any conveyance within 15 days after closing and will provide the City with the name and address of the new owner and a copy of the deed transferring title; and e. The enforceability of validity of this Easement will not be impaired or limited by any failure of the Owner to comply with this subsection. 7.2. Amendment. Under appropriate circumstances, this Easement may be modified or amended. However, no amendment or modification will be allowed if, in the reasonable judgment of the City, it: (i) does not further the purposes of this Easement, (ii) affects the perpetual duration of the Easement, or (iii) affects the validity of the Easement under Minnesota law or under Section 170 (h) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. Any amendment must comply with the applicable City code provisions and the PUD. Any amendment or modification must be in writing, signed by Owner and City and must be recorded in the same manner as this Easement. 7.3. Extinguishment. This Easement may be extinguished only through judicial proceedings and only under the following circumstances: a. This Easement may be extinguished only (i) if unexpected change in the conditions of or surrounding the Protected Property makes the continued use of the Protected Property for the conservation purposes set out above impossible or impractical or (ii) pursuant to the proper exercise of the power of eminent domain. b. The Owner recognizes that uses of the Protected Property prohibited by this Easement may, in the future, become more economically viable than those uses permitted by the Easement. Changes to the surrounding area or other circumstances may cause the public benefit provided by this Easement to change. Therefore, such changes are not considered unexpected changes and shall not be deemed to be circumstances justifying the extinguishment of this Easement as otherwise set forth above. E-10 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 103 of 501 11, Attachment 1 7.4. Real Estate Taxes. The Owner shall pay all real estate taxes and assessments levied against the Protected Property. 7.5. Ownership Costs and Liabilities. The Owner retains all responsibilities and shall bear all costs and liabilities of any kind related to the ownership, operation, upkeep and maintenance of the Protected Property, excluding the public trails and public trail easements, as described in the SP, including the maintenance of such comprehensive general liability insurance coverage as the Owner deems adequate. The preceding sentence shall not apply to any improvements constructed by the City under subsection 5.1. The Owner agrees to hold harmless, defend and indemnify the City from any and all liabilities arising out of any waste or contaminant on the Protected Property as of the date of this Easement, which terms are to be understood in their broad common meaning and not as defined by any specific statute, as well as any and all liabilities, including, but not limited to, injury, losses, damages, judgments, costs, expenses and fees that the City may suffer or incur, to the extent they result from the activities of Owner on the Protected Property. The City agrees to hold harmless, defend and indemnify the Owner from any and all liabilities including, but not limited to, injury, losses, damages, judgments, costs, expenses and fees that the Owner may suffer or incur, to the extent they result from work or improvements of the City on the Protected Property. Each Party shall keep the Protected Property free of any liens arising out of any work performed for, materials furnished to or obligations incurred by that Party. Nothing in this paragraph or this Easement creates any right in any third party or diminishes any immunity, defense or liability limitation of the Owner or the City as against any third party. By assuming its rights and responsibilities under this Easement, the City as Holder is not assuming the role of owner or operator, or otherwise of a potentially responsible party, under any law with respect to any preexisting environmental condition on the Protected Property. The Owner holds harmless and agrees to defend and indemnify the City as Holder from and against any and all liability, loss, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorney fees, costs and disbursements) that the City as Holder may incur to the extent it results from a pre- existing environmental condition on the Protected Property. 7.6.

Along with standard environmental protection provisions, an additional condition of the project approval was the dedication of purmancnt c:onscrvation casumcats over undeveloped natural arras on the site and the development and implementation of a Stewardsldp Plan that outlines good faith stewardship for establishing, enhancing, andlor sustaining environmental assets on the site. Apetpetual conservation casmien t dedicated to the City of Nlaplewood covering 0utlnts ll_ B, C, F]_ and F ( Figure 1 ) has been recorded with the County. Once developer vegetation establishment baseline conditions have been met, long-term maintenance of upland areas within these outlots and their associated restrictions are the nsponsibility of the Homeowners Association 1HOAj.

All wetland buffers were designed to exceed the avcragc required hurter width set by the City of MaplewooSs classification of wetlands, and all areas of buffer meet the minimum required widths. Linear frontage and buffer area were not calculated along the side of wetlands facing public ROW or site boundaries. Wetland bul1crs as shown on the plan sheets have been appravcd by the City and Watershed District_ Overall average buller widths were calculated by dividing the linear frontage+perimcler of the wetland and the linear frontagco 'perimeter of the biller by the loml buller arwd provided, adding the quotients, and dividing the sum in half. For enample, Welland 5 has a wetland frontagc of 344 LF. a buffer length of 579 LF., and total provided buffer area of 33,381 SE 333811344 = 97_04 FT 33.381 379 = 57.65 FT 97 D4 4 5 7.6 5 154.6912 - 77.35 FT 77.35 FT is the average butler width around the entire wet )aad, and 77.35 FT is greater than the 75 FT average City required buffer width. This methodology was used for al I of the wetlands to calculate the average buffier. Buffer variances obtained far deviations from the rules include, (1) a variance allowing for project grading within some buffer areas for contour reconciliation (red arrows on plan sheets indicate the distance t'rom the wetland boundary to grading that will occur within the buyer_ graded areas will be re -- vegetated as part of this plan], (2) a variance allowing for trails to be located within some buffier areas. and (3) a valiance to allow for retaining walls and patios within some buffer areas_ Page 2 of 6 E-B-3 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 114 of 501 11, Attachment 1 Ue17tury Ponds, Maplewood Stewardship Plan Adescription of pre -construction environmental assets/features is provided in the Century Ponds Pmjecl Deport included in Appendix B. 2.0 Developer and HOA Stevi,ardship Plan Obligations Initial invasive specieslturf removal aril native vegetation establisluncnt within the conservation casement areas will be completed by the developer to establish baseline nr `Nteady-state" conditions.

'11iis Project Report provides a description of curronat site characteristics'environrnenta I assets specifically within the easement areas, ac well as a discussion of current and future threats to the property and specifically to the eonsorvation casement areas- 2.0 Past Land Use and Existing {Conditions The project area is located near Lower Afton Road and Century Ave South in Maplewood, Ramsey County. MN within the former Ponds at Battle Creek Golf Course (Figure 1), TIW Ponds an Battle Creek was an approximately 92-acre County -owned property that permanently closed in September 2021, Based on Ramse}' County's historic aerial photo portal, the northern part of the project area appears to have been historically in agriculture production with the southern part of the project area potentially having peon used as pasture- The 2003 aerial photo sliovvs the construction of the Ponds at Battle Creek Golf Course. The site operated as a golf course for 17 years until it closed in September 2021- 'Since the closauro of the golrcourse, the site has had no management, and the vegetation is now unmainLained. 21.s observed in 2023 and 2024 by environmental specialists who completed site investigations a% part of the development pennitting process, vegetation within the former golf course includes sporadic native plantings (generally around wetl<ltnds and constructed ponds) and multiple remnant natural areas o f note. `11aere were six species within native planting areas; that are listed as rare in Minnesota-, however, it is noted here that these species were clearly planted and are not nativereindemic to the site. Additionally, there are multiple remnant natural areas/native plant communities including a small Mesic Hardwood Forest. a Floating Mat Rich Fen comlmunity, plats Inland Lake Clay'Mud Shore connanuuities along the fringes of several wetlands. Existing vegetation within the conservation casement areas was grouped into four cover types based on predominant cover and fomner land use including: ■ Grassland • Wetland ■ Nativc,'Non-Native Plantings, and • Tree Canopy Page 2 of E-B-22 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 133 of 501 11, Attachment 1 Century Ponds, Maplewood 2.1 Grassland Property Report The planted grassland habitat (Figures B1 & 132) is the predominant upland habitat throughout the easement. '1lzcsc areas are associated with the former rairways, greens, and rough areas on the golrcoune. 111e dominant species throughout include Kentucky bluegrass (Parrl�ratensis], quackgrass (Elvrrrres repens). and smooth brome (Bromus inerinis). Other species interspersed throughout the landscape include Canada thistle (Cirsimn ar tw ase), dandelion (727raaerclan o icinale), foxmil barley (H©rdewnInbarion), contnion mullein (N?r•bascurn thapsus), Canada horseweed (Con)a canudensis), wild tinnoth-y (Phleuin praten.ss ).. daisy fleabane (Erigeron annitus), narrow -leaf bawksheard (Crepis lec'la-rum), crovvii vetch (Secur•igera vane), and bird's foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus). Overall cover of non -native/invasive species is highidominant. Although there are some forb species dispersed tknrouglnout this habitat, the predominant vegetation species are non-liative grasses that were planted as part of the golf course development. 2.2 Wetland While: the wetlands themselves are. not within the: conservation easement area- thev are interrelated, key environmental Assets of the site. Protection of uplands adjacent to wetlands will protect and enhance their run ctiorts/values_ Eight wetlands are located within the conservation easement (Figures B1 & 1132). Vegetation within the wetlands includes reed canary grass (Phalaris arunrlinac•ea), river bulrush (Scho,onoplectits,jlui;iattlis), swamp millmeed (Asclepius incarnata), devil's beggarlicks ( idens ftondosa). blue vervain (Verbena hastata), narrowleaf cattail (7ypha angustilblia), smartweed (Perocaria sp.), soft -stem bulrush (Schoenoplectus taebernaemontani), woolgrass (Scirpus cyperinus), spotted Joe-pye weed (Erttrochium maculahan), sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis). purple loosestrife (L)'thmm sulicuria), northern bugleweed (L),cvpus nniflorus), and blue flag iris (Iris versicolor). Generally, species diversity and native species cover is high compared to grassland and tree canopy cover types. Tliere are remnant Native Plant Communities (NPCs) located within t1w oastcrit part of wetland 12 and along the fringes orANctlands 9, 10- 11 and 12 as discussed in Section 2.5. 2.3 Native] Non -Native Plantings While the majority of the site was planted with grass species for golf course purposes, there are some areas within the conservation easement boundary adjacent to wetlands and constructed ponds where a infix of native and non-native (orbs were observed (Figures B1 & B2). Areas apparently planted or inter -seeded with native forbs were categorized as native/non-native plantinngs- Ibe species observed include cup plant (Silphiurrr pe- /Jbhatujn), hoary alvssum (Berteroa incana), prairie coreopsis (C oreopsispalmata), white wild indigo (Baptisiu alba), wild bergamot (.Vonurdufistulosa). pale gcritian (Gentiana alba), purple prairie clover (Ualea ptlipurea), cone flower (Kchinacea sp.), little bluestem (Schi achr•iurrr seapurium), big binastern ( ndropogon gerur•dii), Indian grass (Soighosirum nietwis), Canada thistle, common mullein, Kentucky bluegrass (Poet pratensis), crown vetch (Securigerra vaniff)- and Canada go]deliTod (Solid -go car ad2nsrs), Page 3 of 5 E-B-23 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 134 of 501 11, Attachment 1 C 'marry Ponds.

Methods that can be implcnienled for the control of existing noxious/invasive species within the Lonservation easement areas are detailed in the Stewardship Plan. Mte Contamination with lypecies Construction vehicles and heav'v equipment can gather plants and soil which can spread invasive plant seeds and invasive earthworms front site to site. Best management practices should be implemented to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species froth a site sources during project construction. Soils that are exposed by grading activities must be stabilized. Soils disturbed by grading within the Limits of the conservation easement areas should be stabilized with a temporvy cover crap such as oats. rVc, or wheat versus a standard development seed Unix which often includes nout- native species. f4 ,hand Huffer rn d Con.vervaturn Area Dis-turbance Preserving the ecological quality of the wetlands relies on maintaining, vegetated upland bullers that filter the sediment and nutrient content Ofr0101T. Activ'ilies within the conservation easement areas should limit disturhance/grading of existing, stabilized wetland butlers. Additionally, grading within the conservation easement areas should he limited, as possible (e.g.. areas of new pond constriction and grading reconciliation). Hunwa Activities and Encroodement For long-term protection_ the limits of the bull'er areas, conservation areas should he marked with signage indicating that no tutauthorized mowing tnay occur, and that no structures or yard waste may be placed within these areas. Proiect. Construction Effects on Wddlii"e Mobilc wildlife present on the project site will likely disperw to adjacent and/or similar habitats near the project area during construction. Plastic netting is frequently used for crosioa control during, construction and landscape projects and can negatively impact wildlife populations as well as snag maintenance machinery. However, wildlife friendly erosion control materials do exist and should be used where site stabilization is needed.

Vegetation management prescriptions may be modified as site -specific conditions or invasive species arise or no longer present an issue, as recommended by a qualified vegetation specahst 2. Native/non-native species compete with one another, Overtime. if the plant community has a predominance of only one or two species, supplemental seeding and/or live plantings may be considered. Although prescribed burns often promote the most species diversity. they are not always feasible in urbanisuburban settings, 3. Different management are more effect depending on the species present, The vegetation restoration specialist will use the most appropriate method available for cncounturod situations. Common Buckthorn Control Management within the unit containing the mesie hardwood community and adjacent woodl:md areas should Focus on buckthorn removal and control. A general guide for buellhom removal and control is listed below. Methods. that minimize non -target impacts should be prioritized 13uckdtora removal and control may create a bare soil surface in -which noxious and invasive species derive. In addition to buckthorn removal and control, opporttut stir weeds (e.g., garlic mustard, Canda thistle. etc.] will also need to be monitored for and, -or controlled in wooded areas. Native understory vegetation skill voluntarily rebound after common buckthom is removed and is no longer competing raith native plants for fight. water, and nutrients. Supplemental seeding will be considered only alter buckthorn removal has reached steady-state and the existing native seed bank has had a chance to naturally re -populate the area. Method 1: Foliar ChemiraI Treatment ■ Foliar chemical treatment shall be used on buckthurn saplings less than or equal to three (3) feet tall. • Chemical spray shall be applied betwecrt the months of'mid-September through Octobcr.

WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Developer is the fee owner of certain real property located in Ramsey County, Minnesota, legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property") and WHEREAS, the Developer has platted the Property as Century Ponds (the "Subdivision") ; and WHEREAS, by a separate planned unit development agreement, the Developer has agreed to construct and maintain privately -owned streets (the "Private Streets") over Outlot I that will provide access to and circulation for the townhouse lots in the Subdivision; and WHEREAS, as a condition of approval of the Subdivision, the City and the Developer must enter into a maintenance agreement regarding the Private Streets. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants of the parties set forth herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. Construction and Maintenance of the Private Streets. The Developer hereby agrees to construct, reconstruct, maintain and repair the Private Streets at its own expense. The Private Streets consist of the grade, base, surface, and other elements and appurtenances which create a driving surface suitable for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The Developer acknowledges that the City has no obligation to construct, reconstruct, maintain or repair the Private Streets and that the City does not intend to accept, acquire, or open the Private Streets as public right-of-way. Such construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair shall meet minimum standards set forth in the approved engineering and construction plans for the Subdivision. All the Developer's obligations regarding the Private Streets shall also be obligations of the Developer's successors or assigns. F-1 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 151 of 501 11, Attachment 1 2. City's Right to Maintain and Repair. a) The City may maintain and repair the Private Streets, or any portion thereof, if the City reasonably believes that the Developer or its successors or assigns has failed to adequately maintain the Private Streets in accordance with section 1 of this Agreement and such failure continues for 30 days after the City gives the Developer, its successors or assigns written notice of such failure or, if such tasks cannot be completed within 30 days, after such time period as may be reasonably required to complete the required tasks provided that the Developer is making a good faith effort to complete said task. The City's notice shall specifically state which maintenance tasks are to be performed. b) If the Developer does not complete the maintenance tasks within the required time period after such notice is given by the City, the City shall have the right to enter upon such portions of the Subdivision as may reasonably be necessary to gain access to the Private Streets to perform such maintenance tasks. In such case, the City shall send an invoice detailing its actual maintenance costs to the Developer or its successors or assigns, which shall include all staff time, engineering and legal and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the City. If the Developer or its successors or assigns fails to reimburse the City for its costs and expenses in maintaining the Private Streets within 30 days of receipt of an invoice for such costs, the City shall have the right to assess the full cost thereof against the townhouse lots in the Subdivision and collect the same in single or multiple payments as in the case of special assessments for public improvements pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. c) The assessments shall bear interest at the rate determined by the City but not more than 2 percent more than the average coupon rate if the City sells debt to pay for the cost of the work or 2 percent over the average rate of return earned by the City on its investment portfolio if the City finances the work without selling debt. The Developer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, acknowledges that the maintenance work performed by the City regarding the Private Streets benefits the townhouse lots in the Subdivision in an amount which exceeds the assessment and hereby waives any right to hearing or notice and the right to appeal the assessments otherwise provided by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an emergency, as determined by the City engineer, the 30-day notice requirement to the Developer for failure to perform maintenance tasks shall be and hereby is waived in its entirety by the Developer, and the Developer shall reimburse the City and be subject to assessment for any expense so incurred by the City in the same manner as if written notice as described above has been given. Any maintenance or repairs made by the City pursuant to this section 2 will not result in the establishment of a public roadway. d) The City has the right but not an obligation to perform maintenance or repair the Private Streets. The City intends to exercise this authority only if the conditions of the Private Streets, or any portion thereof, are so poor, in the reasonable exercise F-2 MA745-61-1070687.v5 City Council Packet Page Number 152 of 501 11, Attachment 1 of the City's discretion, so as to pose a hazard to the health, safety and welfare to those using the Private Streets or relevant portion thereof. 3. Conveyance of Easement. The Developer hereby conveys an easement over the Outlot I, Century Ponds (the "Easement Area") for ingress and egress to the City for any public service deemed necessary by the City, including but not limited to, response to police calls, fire calls, rescue and other emergency calls, animal control and other code enforcement issues. This provision does not convey a right to the general public to use the Private Streets. 4. Reservation of Rights: All right, title and interest in and to the Easement Area under this Agreement, which may be used and enjoyed without interfering with the rights conveyed by this Agreement, are reserved to Developer. 5. Hold Harmless. The Developer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City and its agents and employees against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) directly arising out of or directly resulting from the Developer's, or the Developer's agents' or employees' negligent or intentional acts, or any violation of any applicable safety law, regulation, or code enacted by the City or the State of Minnesota in the performance of this Agreement, without regard to any inspection or review made or not made by the City, its agents or employees or failure by the City, its agents or employees to take any other prudent precautions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver by the City of any immunities, defenses or other limitations on liability to which the City is entitled to by law, including but not limited to, the maximum monetary limits on liability established by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466. 6. Recording; Run with the Land; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be recorded against the townhouse lots within Subdivision. All duties and obligations of Developer under this Agreement shall also be duties and obligations of Developer's successors and assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall run with the townhouse lots within Subdivision. 7. Costs of Enforcement. The Developer agrees for itself and its successors and assigns to reimburse the City for all costs incurred by the City in the enforcement of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. 8.

The City Council must approve a grant agreement with the MnDNR as part of their 2025 Community Tree Planting Grant to access the funds. Recommended Action: Motion to authorize the City of Maplewood to enter into the 2025 Community Tree Planting Grant Agreement with the Minnesota Depart of Natural Recourses and direct the Mayor and City Manager to sign the agreement. Minor revisions as approved by the City Attorney are authorized as needed. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? ❑ No ✓ Yes, the true or estimated cost is $87,000 (Maplewood's costs for three years of tree maintenance as required by the grant). Financing source(s): ❑ Adopted Budget ❑ Budget Modification ❑ New Revenue Source ❑ Use of Reserves ✓ Other: The grant provides up to $500,000 for the removal and replacement of ash trees within City rights -of -way. Street Revitalization Funds (SRF) will be used to initially cover contractor project costs and will be reimbursed by the grant. The City's share of this project is estimated to be $87,000 for three years of tree maintenance for the newly planted trees. The tree maintenance is proposed to be funded through the SRF. Strategic Plan Relevance: ✓ Safety 0 Focus Area: Maintain and enhance infrastructure and environmental systems ✓ Sustainability 0 Focus Area: Advance environmental stewardship initiatives ❑ Development 0 Focus Area: The City's urban forest is an important asset to the city and the public. EAB has had a significant impact on the health of ash trees in Maplewood and the surrounding metro area. This grant will assist the city in managing EAB and ash trees located within the City's rights -of -way. City Council Packet Page Number 158 of 501 Y Background: A 2011 tree survey found about 2,138 ash trees on City property and along streets. Since then, the City has removed about 1,742 of those trees through regular work, grants, and street projects. That leaves about 396 ash trees still at risk from emerald ash borer (EAB). With this grant, the city will remove and replace about 200 hazardous ash trees in street rights -of - way. After that work is complete, about 196 ash trees will remain to be addressed in the future. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources 2025 Community Tree Planting grant will fund: • Removal of up to 200 ash trees • Stump grinding and boulevard restoration Planting new trees at a one-to-one ratio The DNR has identified priority areas in Maplewood, and these areas will be addressed first. New trees must be planted near where ash trees are removed. The City will plant a mix of tree species to reduce the risk of future widespread loss from pests or disease. The grant also requires a three-year maintenance plan to help new trees survive. These maintenance costs are not covered by the grant and will be funded through the City's Street Revitalization Fund (SRF). This project helps to continue addressing ash trees impacted by EAB. Public Works will keep working on remaining trees as resources allow. Attachments: 1.

Work with DNR to fully execute and report on the impacts of the work plan by meeting the requirements as negotiated: Priority Consistent with legislative direction, priority for Community Tree Planting Grant awards was given to: (1) projects removing and replacing ash trees that pose significant public safety concerns; and (2) projects located in a census block group with a supplemental demographic index score in the 70th percentile or higher as identified using the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool methodology provided in the United States Environmental Protection Agency's environmental justice screen technical documentation dated July 31, 2024. The supplemental demographic index is a combination of five socioeconomic factors averaged together for each Census block group. The supplemental demographic index can provide an additional perspective on potential community vulnerability. The formula is as follows: supplemental demographic index = (% low-income + % persons with disabilities + % less than high school education + % limited English speaking + low life expectancy) /5. City Council Packet Page Number 171 of 501 12, Attachment 1 The Priority Area map can be accessed through the DNR website, or by clicking Percent Ash trees removed for public safety and replaced: 100% Percent project occurs within Priority Area: 20% Proiect Overview and Need The City of Maplewood is seeking funds to remove and replace hazardous ash trees in boulevards and maintained areas of City parks that have been affected by EAB. The first EAB infestation in Maplewood was identified in 2017. At the time, the City's asset management program showed there were over 2,000 public ash trees on city right of ways and parks. The city has since removed over 1,600 hazardous boulevard ash trees, which have been replaced with several species to increase biodiversity in Maplewood's tree canopy. Maplewood has approximately 350 hazardous ash trees remaining in city rights -of -way and maintained areas of parks that the City must remove, but requires funding from external sources as city funds to do ash tree removal and replacement have been depleted. The majority of ash tree removals have been done by Maplewood staff, who are also responsible for snow plowing and maintenance of City Streets, Utilities, and Parks. The City also annually addresses public ash trees as part of annual street reconstruction projects. Staff are currently operating at a limited capacity and the amount of ash trees in need of removal is enormous, exceeding the city's workforce availability and budget. There are 350 public ash trees remaining that are experiencing compromised health and high mortality due to EAB, which leads many to become hazardous. Without this funding, the City is not able to keep up with the drastic rise in hazardous ash trees. UCF has prioritized specific locations for fund use, several of which have been identified in the city of Maplewood. These regions are identified areas with a supplemental demographic index score in the 70th percentile or higher as identified using the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool methodology. These areas will be the targeted locations where ash tree removal and replacement will occur in Maplewood. Approximately 40 public ash trees are within these identified locations. The City would then use additional funds to remove and replace approximately 160 other hazardous boulevard ash trees identified within Maplewood. Maplewood staff will bid out and manage a project that includes tree removal, hauling, stump grinding, and tree replacement plantings for approximately 200 public ash tree removals in identified prioritized areas for the City. Maplewood will also include necessary supplies to increase the success of tree establishment. This equipment includes water bags, mulch, tree guards, and fiberglass staking with rubbers when needed. Proiect Timeline The following schedule shall be implemented to maximize the benefits of grant funds and meet grant reporting deadlines: Dec 2025-Feb 2026 development of bid documents Spring 2026 Begin hazardous ash tree removal process Prior to the first reimbursement request, ensure all declarations/certificates are approved and filed City Council Packet Page Number 172 of 501 12, Attachment 1 By January 1, 2027: Reimbursement request for tree removals and any plantings that have occurred in priority areas Fall 2026 installation of replacement trees, during specified species planting windows. 2026, 2027, 2028: Ongoing maintenance and inspections following 3-year maintenance agreement June 30, 2027 all project work must be completed, final reimbursement requested for tree removals and plantings must be requested, and final grant report must be submitted Proiect Budeet Exolanation The estimated cost is based on past city projects that contained tree removal and replanting work. In order to maximize the use of the grant funding awarded to the City, the bid package will consist of a base bid and bid alternatives. The base bid will allow for the removal of hazardous public ash trees, planting approximately 200 climate change adaptable trees. 40 of those trees shall be removed and replaced in the identified priority areas, and the other 160 hazardous ash trees removed and replaced shall be on other city rights -of -way in Maplewood. Selected climate change adaptable trees will be selected by utilizing the guidance of Climate Change Responsive Framework, University of Minnesota Extension climate ready woodlands, and the MNDNR. During the preparation of bid documents, staff will take advantage of bid alternatives to potentially increase the amount of trees removed and replanted if bids come back lower than anticipated. Ash trees in UCF identified priority areas will be selected first, but if bid alternative gives leeway for additional trees, regions surrounding prioritized areas will be targeted. Only public ash tree on boulevards or in manicured areas of City parks will be removed and replanted with the awarded funds. City staff time, 3-year maintenance plan costs, forestry consultant costs, communications costs, mailings, and flyers are not included in the requested budget. The city of Maplewood will procure those expenses as part of the City's general operations costs to utilize funds for grants prioritize objectives and maximize the amount of hazardous ash tree removals and replacements. The attached budget sheet is based on the City's previous public bid package for public ash tree removal and replacement plantings. The 3-year maintenance plan will also be included in the bid package but financed through the City. Bid will be awarded to lowest responsible bidder utilizing prevailing wages. Communitv Eneaeement and Imoact Hazardous ash tree removals and replacements are prioritized to occur within the identified prioritized areas in the City. Maplewood currently has identified vulnerable populations within Maplewood's Climate Adaptation Plan that the city serves. Within Maplewood, the number of elderly residents identified as a vulnerable population is 16% compared to 12% across the metro area, residents living <200% Poverty in Maplewood is 26% compared to 25% in Minnesota, and the number of residents with limited English in Maplewood is 8%, which is double the percent of vulnerable populations of limited English speakers in Minnesota 4%. The Maplewood Communication Department is very familiar with making sure all city informational materials is accessible to vulnerable populations and will announce tree replacements and removals via numerous media outlets. Information will available digitally via social media and specifically designed webpages, will provide details on the grant, proposed project, timeframe, and primary point of contact for additional questions. There will also be information available educating community members about EAB and why hazardous ash trees on boulevards are being targeted. The City's website has been created with the ability to allow people to choose the language they prefer for City webpage viewing. City Council Packet Page Number 173 of 501 12, Attachment 1 Letters will be sent to property owners that have an ash tree in the public rights -of -way adjacent to their property that are planned for removal. These letters will provide information on the proposed project, timing of work, and a primary point of contact. As the project moves forward, additional mailings or flyers will be sent out to these properties with project updates and information on how to help care for the new trees. Translation services are available for limited English-speaking populations. Communications The Maplewood Communication Department will announce the tree removal and replacement program via social media and the Maplewood Living publication. Additionally, this department will help create and manage a city project webpage. These efforts will provide information on the grant, the proposed project, timing of work, and a primary point of contact for any questions. These webpages will also discuss why hazadorous ash trees are being targeted and educate community members about EAB. The City's website has been created with the ability to allow people to choose the language they prefer for City webpage viewing. Translation services are available for limited English-speaking populations.

If a report is not received within 60 days of the request, DNR will assume work is not being conducted and begin steps to close-out the grant contract and reallocate funds. This may result in a grant agreement being closed out early, and DNR staff noting in the grant closeout report the lack of performance and contract compliance by the grantee. If within two successive updates necessary progress has not been made in accomplishing work within the grant contract, DNR staff may request a meeting to discuss why progress is not being made and may begin steps to close-out the grant contract and reallocate funds. This may result in a grant agreement being closed out early, and DNR staff noting in the grant closeout report the lack of performance and contract compliance by the grantee. City Council Packet Page Number 176 of 501 12, Attachment 1 The following documentation is required to obtain reimbursement unless specifically described. • Partial payment form along with invoices and proof of payment for grant -funded purchases, • Cash Match form along with proof of payment (as applicable), and • In -Kind Match form (as applicable) • Accomplishment reports will include grant contract deliverables and their impacts • Photo documentation of the project's progress at appropriate phases, and illustrations, diagrams, charts, graphs, and maps to show results • All trees removed, stumps ground (if not connected to a removed tree), and planted will be mapped and submitted as shapefiles, with the planted trees identified by species and size, to obtain grand fund reimbursement. If your community does not have access to shapefile- generating software, please notify your DNR Urban and Community Forestry Team Member, and they will work to assist you. Maps must: o Identify the location of trees that have been removed o Identify the location of stumps that have been ground o Identify the location and species of trees that have been planted All complete reimbursement requests received by the deadlines will be reviewed by DNR staff. Provided that the grantee is in compliance with all terms of the Request for Application and grant contracts, verified project activities and eligible expenses will be reimbursed up to 90%, with 10% retained until the project is completed. Accommodations may be offered in select circumstances, and in accordance with Office of Grants Management policies, at the discretion of the agency. Please reach out to DNR staff at ucf.dnr@state.mn.us for more information on requesting accommodations. Following the submission of invoices and accomplishment reports, a compliance check will be conducted by Minnesota Department of Natural Resources staff. Staff will do a site evaluation ensuring that grant work has been properly completed including tree removals are accurately reported on and stump grinding was complete if applicable, tree species submitted on maps are correctly identified and planted in accordance with the standards set in the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Pocket Guide to Planting Trees, trees treated are properly tagged and identified, etc. Ineligible Project Expenses Ineligible project expenses include, but are not limited to: • Costs incurred prior to the start date of the fully executed grant agreement. • Purchase of trees listed on the Minnesota Noxious Weed List, or the DNR's Invasive Terrestrial Plants List, including Amur cork tree, Amur maple, autumn olive, black locust, buckthorn, Norway maple, Russian olive, Siberian elm, and tree of heaven. • Purchase of balled and burlapped trees larger than 2.5" caliper, containerized trees larger than #20, or bareroottrees greater than 2" caliper diameter. • Purchase of tree species in a genus that already makes up 10% or more of the community's trees or in a family that makes up 20% or more of the trees. • Purchase of plants otherthantrees, such as shrubs, living ground covers, sod, grass seed, and flowers. • Purchase of land or easements.

City Council Packet Page Number 178 of 501 Exhibit B: Requirements for DNR Grantees 12, Attachment 1 DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Requirements for DNR grantees Effective date: January 31, 2026 The following policies apply to all DNR grants, except where specifically noted. These requirements are in addition to requirements in program -specific manuals. In case of any conflicts with an existing grant program manual, the stricter document will control. Questions about these requirements should be directed to the grant specialist for your grant program. Questions may also be directed to grantsteam.dnr@state.mn.us. When sending an email to this address, please include information on your grant funding source, program, and question. Admin's Office of Grants Management policies Under Minn. Statutes, section 16b.97 subd. 2, the Minnesota Department of Administration is required to create general grants management policies and procedures applicable to all state agencies. Admin's OGM implemented grant policies for the State of Minnesota. Please review OGM grant policies (select the Current Policies tab). Information especially relevant to grantees is summarized below. Unless otherwise noted, these policies do not apply to bonding grants and grants under Minn. Statutes section 16A.86 or section 16A.642. Grants conflict of interest (OGM Policy 08-01) All grantees must sign a conflict -of -interest disclosure form or certify they will disclose conflicts of interest when signing their grant agreements/grant award notifications. Grantees must also maintain a written standard of conduct covering conflicts of interest and governing the actions of their employees or board members engaged in the selection, award, and administration of contracts. State staff may request this written standard when conducting grant monitoring activities or if otherwise relevant. These requirements apply to all grants, including bonding grants and grants under Minn. Statutes section 16A.86 and section 16A.642. OGM Policy 08-01 states that a conflict of interest occurs "when a person has actual or apparent duty or loyalty to more than one organization and the competing duties or loyalties may result in actions which are adverse to one or both parties. A conflict of interest exists even if no unethical, improper, or illegal act results from it." Per the OGM policy, there are several types of conflicts of interest: Actual conflict of interest An actual conflict of interest occurs when a person's decision or action would compromise a duty to a party without taking immediate appropriate action to eliminate the conflict. City Council Packet Page Number 179 of 501 12, Attachment 1 Potential conflict of interest A potential conflict of interest may exist if a person has a relationship, affiliation, or other interest that could create an inappropriate influence if the person is called on to make a decision or recommendation that would affect one or more of those relationships, affiliations, or interest. Individual conflict of interest A conflict of interest that may benefit an individual employee or a grant reviewer is any situation in which their judgement, actions, or non -action could be interpreted to be influenced by something that would benefit them directly or through indirect gain to an immediate family member, business, or organization with which they are involved. Organizational conflict of interest A conflict of interest can also occur with an organization that is a grant applicant in a competitive grant process or grantee of a state agency. Organizational conflicts of interest occur when: • A grantee's objectivity in carrying out the grant is impaired or compromised due to competing duties or loyalties • A grantee, potential grantee, or grant applicant has an unfair competitive advantage through being furnished unauthorized proprietary information or source selection information that is not available to all competitors Use of grant contract agreements and grant award notifications (OGM Policy 08-04) All grants need a written grant contract agreement or grant award notification. State agencies cannot award a grant to a grantee that is on either the suspension or debarment lists for the state of Minnesota or the federal government. If a grantee becomes suspended or debarred, that may be cause for the State to cancel their grant. Grant agreements/GANs must contain a provision for the grantee to clearly post on the grantee's website the names and contact information for the grantee organization's leadership and the person(s) who directly manages and oversees the grant. A fully executed copy of the grant agreement or GAN and all relevant records must be kept on file for a minimum of six years from the end date, receipt, and approval of all final reports, OR the period of time required to satisfy all state and program retention requirements, whichever is later. Grantees must complete work in accordance with the terms and conditions of their grant agreement/GAN. Work not covered under the grant agreement/GAN will not be reimbursed without a prior amendment request. City Council Packet Page Number 180 of 501 12, Attachment 1 Public questions and comments concerning fraud and waste in state grants (OGM Policy 08-05) OGM will serve as the central point of contact for questions and comments about fraud and waste in state grants and about the violation of statewide grants policies. OGM will also respond to other public questions and concerns about state grants. Grant payments (OGM Policy 08-08) State agencies may not issue grant payments until the funds are encumbered, and the grant agreement is fully executed, or the GAN is completed. Reimbursement is the State's preferred method for making grant payments. DNR grants operate on a reimbursement basis, unless the grant agreement/GAN contains explicit language specifying otherwise. Grantee reimbursement requests must correspond to the line items in the approved grant budget. Grant managers must review each reimbursement request against the approved grant budget, grant expenditures to date, and the latest grant progress report before approving payment. If grant managers see a discrepancy or have any questions about reimbursement requests and/or related documentation, they will follow up with the gra ntee. Any deviation from this policy must be approved by the agency wide grants manager prior to signing a grant agreement/GAN and must be in accordance with state laws and OGM policies. Grants in which the payment terms are defined in statute are not covered by this policy. DNR reimbursement procedures • Grantees must pay for project expenses before seeking reimbursement from the grant and should only request reimbursement for paid expenses. Expenses are reviewed and those deemed eligible are then reimbursed under the terms of the agreement/GAN with the State of Minnesota. • Grantees are not allowed to request reimbursement for invoices from a vendor that have not yet been paid by the grantee. Please also see the Proof of Payment section below. • Grantees can expect to be reimbursed within 30 days of the DNR receiving a complete and accurate reimbursement request. If documentation to process the request is missing, or the request has discrepancies or incorrect information, the 30-day clock does not start until all necessary information has been submitted to the DNR and the request has been deemed complete and whole. • The DNR will pay final reimbursement when the state determines that the grantee has satisfactorily fulfilled all the terms of their grant agreement/GAN, unless a grant term is altered or excluded by the DNR in writing. Grantees should keep the following documentation on file for monitoring and audit purposes: • Proof of payment of grant expenses (e.g. copies of cancelled checks, electronic bank statements, etc.) • Contracting/purchasing bidding documentation • Organization's conflict of interest policy City Council Packet Page Number 181 of 501 12, Attachment 1 • Prevailing wage documentation (if applicable): project assessment form, certified payroll reports, etc. Grant progress reports (OGM Policy 08-09) Grantees are required to submit written progress reports at least annually until all grant funds have been expended and all the terms in the grant agreement/GAN have been met. Information requested in a grant progress report may include (but is not limited to): goals and objectives, activities, outcomes, challenges, lessons learned, and financial information. State agencies cannot make grant payments on grants with past due progress reports (unless the agency has given the grantee a written extension). Grant monitoring (OGM Policy 08-10) All state grants over $50,000 are required to have at least one monitoring visit before final payment is made. All state grants over $250,000 are required to have annual monitoring visits. In -person visits are preferred where possible, but telephone or virtual visits are also used where reasonable. The purpose of a monitoring visit is to review and ensure progress towards the grant's goals, address any problems or issues before the end of the grant period, and build a relationship between the agency and grantee. For state grants over $50,000, state agencies must conduct a financial reconciliation of grantees' expenditures at least once before final payment is made. A financial reconciliation involves reconciling a grantee's request for payment for a given period with supporting documentation (e.g. purchase orders, receipts, payroll records, etc.) for that request. If previously reimbursed costs are found to be ineligible upon further review during monitoring (or at any other point during the grant period), repayment of those costs or other corrective action may be required. Proof of payment The State requires proof of payment documentation to ensure that funds are being provided on a reimbursement basis. The grantee must maintain proof of payment documentation and make it available when requested by the State. Proof of payment documentation may include: • A copy of a bank statement with photocopies of cleared checks • An electronic bank statement • A copy of cancelled checks or other certified financial records • Employee original time records and payroll documentation Cost share/required match For grants which require cost share or match, the requirements for documenting work completed or expenses incurred as match are the same as for expenses for which grantees are requesting reimbursement. The State may disallow otherwise -eligible costs for reimbursement if the grantee cannot provide proof of the expenses being used as match. City Council Packet Page Number 182 of 501 12, Attachment 1 For grants with in -kind match (i.e. non -cash donations of a good or service), grantees should provide documentation similar to a payment request. If the in -kind match is volunteer time, grantees will need volunteer logs and to show the calculation used to convert volunteer hours to time. If the in -kind match is something other than volunteer time (e.g. use of equipment, or donated materials), grantees must perform due diligence to determine how much the in -kind match would cost. For example, if the in -kind match is a land donation, the documentation should include an appraisal. If the in -kind match is use of equipment, the documentation should demonstrate a realistic cost for the type of equipment and amount of time. Legislatively mandated grants (OGM Policy 08-11) State agencies must manage legislatively mandated grants with the same level of oversight (including monitoring) applied to other state grants, while respecting and maintaining the legislative intent. Grantees for legislatively mandated grants must submit a work plan and budget. The grant agreement/GAN must be based on the legislation, the grantee's work plan and budget, and negotiations between the state agency and the grantee. Grant amendments (OGM Policy 08-12) During the grant period, it may be necessary to make changes to the grant contract agreement/GAN. Generally, these modifications could include changes to the grant timeframe, to the scope of work, or to the budget categories. A formal grant contract amendment is required for any changes. Should a situation arise that requires any changes to the project, it is the grantee's responsibility to communicate immediately with the DNR grants specialist. The purpose of grant amendments must be similar to the original purpose of the grant and the grantee duties should be within the scope of the original RFP/notice of grant opportunity/application. If an amendment is allowed, it must be fully executed before additional costs can be incurred. Contracting and bidding Competitive bidding needs to follow a fair and transparent public process. Grantees must not contract with vendors or subcontractors who are on the suspension or debarment lists for either the State of Minnesota or the federal government. Grantees must take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that targeted vendors from businesses with active certifications through the entities below are used when possible: • Minnesota Deaartment of Administration's Certified Tareet GroUD. Economicallv Disadvantaged. and Veteran -Owned Vendor List City Council Packet Page Number 183 of 501 12, Attachment 1 • Metropolitan Council's Targeted Vendor list: Minnesota Unified Certification Program • Small Business Certification Program through Hennepin County, Ramsey County, and the City of St. Paul: Central Certification Program Grantees must maintain support documentation of the purchasing and/or bidding process utilized to contract services in their financial records, including support documentation justifying a single/sole source bid, if applicable. Grantees must retain the following documentation in the project file: • Copies of executed subcontract agreements • A copy of the request for proposal/request for quote, all submitted bids, and the bid tabulation (if applicable) • Written documentation that describes the rationale for selection of each subcontractor • Documentation of the contract/bid approval, if required by grantee internal controls (such as meeting minutes) This documentation may be reviewed during monitoring visits or when requested by the state. Contracting and bidding for political subdivisions of the state In addition to the general contracting and bidding requirements above, municipalities (defined in Minn. Statutes, chapter 471.345 subd. 1 as a county, town, city, school district, or other municipal corporation or political subdivision of the state authorized by law to enter into contracts) must also follow the Uniform Municipal Contractine Law. Contracting and bidding for non -governmental organizations In addition to the general contracting and bidding requirements at the beginning of this section, non - government organizations must follow the contracting policies/procedures below. Contracting and bidding for Tribal governments Tribal governments are subject to neither the Uniform Municipal Contracting Law nor the DNR contracting policies/procedures below. Tribal governments are subject to the contracting and bidding procedures of their own governance. Contracting and bidding thresholds and process • Services and/or materials that are expected to cost between $10,000 and $24,999 must be competitively awarded, based on a minimum of two verbal quotes or bids or awarded to a targeted vendor. • Services and/or materials that are expected to cost between $25,000 and $99,999 must be competitively awarded based on a minimum of three verbal quotes or bids. • Any services or materials that are expected to cost $100,000 or more must undergo a formal notice and bidding process. • Grantees must use an RFP/RFQ process to competitively select professional and technical services. City Council Packet Page Number 184 of 501 12, Attachment 1 • The advertisement for bid processes must allow for fair competition among potential qualified bidders. Prevailing wage Prevailing wage (Minn. Statutes, sections 177.41-177.45) is the minimum hourly wage employers must pay certain workers who work on construction and public works projects funded by state dollars. Prevailing wage includes the employer's cost of benefits. Other prevailing wage information can be found at the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. Prevailing wage rules apply to any grant award of $25,000 or more that qualifies as a "project" per the following definition: Project: demolition, erection, construction, alteration, improvement, restoration, remodeling, or repairing of a public building, structure, facility, land, or other public work, which includes any work suitable for and intended for use by the public, or for the public benefit, financed in whole or part by state funds. "Project" also includes demolition, erection, construction, alteration, improvement, restoration, remodeling, or repairing of a building, structure, facility, land, or public work when the acquisition of property, predesign, design, or demolition is financed in whole or part by state funds (Minn. Statutes, section 177.42). If the award is $25,000 or more and contains activities in the work/accomplishment plan that qualify as a "project" per the definition above, prevailing wage rules in Minn. Statutes, sections 177.41-177.44 apply. If you are unsure if a project is subject to prevailing wage, ask the grant specialist for a copy of DLI's Project Assessment Form. Grantees must complete the form and return it to the grant specialist. Once ready, the DNR grant specialist will submit it to DLI and copy the grantee on the e-mail. When prevailing wage applies, all bid requests and RFPs must state that the project is subject to prevailing wage to ensure that incoming bids have factored prevailing wage rates into their submittal. A prevailing wage form should accompany these bid submittals. Grantees must retain documentation in the project file either the prevailing wage forms, or a notice from DLI that the project is not subject to prevailing wage. Fraud reporting In addition to OGM policy, various state statutes govern reporting of suspected fraud or misuse of state dollars. State workers with information indicating that public resources (including public money) may have been used for an unlawful purpose must report that information. Any other person with such information is strongly urged to report that information. The DNR takes a "no wrong door" approach for reporting suspected fraud; essentially, the DNR encourages its workforce to report suspected fraud to any DNR supervisor or member of agency leadership, who will connect the person reporting to the correct contact or procedure, as needed. All state agencies are required to report suspected fraud cases to the Department of Revenue for tax fraud investigation, in addition to referring all allegations of suspected fraud to the Office of the Legislative Auditor and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension's Financial Crimes and Fraud section City Council Packet Page Number 185 of 501 12, Attachment 1 (mnfraud.bureau@state.mn.us or 651-739-3750). Grantees may report suspected fraud directly to these agencies, as well, or to their DNR grant manager or any DNR employee. Requirements for working on state land When working on state land, grantees must follow all applicable policies and requirements of that land. Grantees should work with the appropriate management staff for the state land to determine these requirements. Insurance is required to do work on state land, following the requirements of Admin. Audits Under Minn. Statutes, chapter 1613.98 subd. 8, the state (the grantmaking agency, state auditor, attorney general, legislative auditor, Admin, etc.) has the right to perform programmatic or financial audits of the grantee. The grantee's books, records, documents, and accounting procedures and practices relevant to the grant are subject to state examination for a minimum of six years from the expiration or termination of the grant agreement/GAN, receipt and approval of all final reports, or the required period of time to satisfy state and program retention requirements, whichever is later. This provision is also included in grant agreements/GANs. Records retention Grantees must maintain a file for each project with all project agreements, correspondence, and the records pertaining to project expenses requested for reimbursement. Project records are required for monitoring/audit purposes and must be readily available for review. As with all provisions of the grant agreement/GAN, if the state finds a failure to comply, the State may take action, including immediate termination of the grant agreement/GAN with cause, refusal to disburse additional funds, and/or requiring the return of all or part of the funds already disbursed. All records related to the project must be retained for a minimum of six years from the grant agreement/GAN end date, or the receipt and approval of all final reports, whichever is later. Some grant funds require permanent retention of the grant records, and in those cases, that requirement supersedes the six -year standard. Data practices • Grantees must comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act as it applies to all data created, collected, received, stored, used, maintained, or disseminated by the grantee under their grant agreement/GAN. If a grantee receives a request to release this data, the grantee must immediately notify the State. Following this notification, the State will provide instructions to the grantee concerning the release of data. • Grantees should instruct and train their staff regarding the governing privacy and data practices provisions; maintaining data in a secure manner; and limiting access to work duties and assignments. City Council Packet Page Number 186 of 501 12, Attachment 1 • Grantees must mitigate risks associated with the unauthorized access or data breach and report to the DNR any real or perceived security or privacy incident regarding any private data in accordance with MGDPA. • Grantees are not permitted to use private data with artificial intelligence services unless it is approved through the DNR/Minnesota IT vendor security risk and compliance process. Al services are reviewed and verified through a process that includes understanding the Al's training, ownership of data and level of security. City Council Packet Page Number 187 of 501 Exhibit C: 12, Attachment 1 Mot Minnesota Department of Natural Resources DEPARTMENT OF Conflict Of Interest Disclosure NATURAL RESOURCES Conflict oflnterest: A conflict of interest occurs when a person has actual or apparent duty or loyalty to more than one organization and the competing duties or loyalties may result in actions which are adverse to one or both parties. A conflict of interest exists even if no unethical, improper or illegal act results from it. Actual Conflict oflnterest: An actual conflict of interest occurs when a person's decision or action would compromise a duty to a parry without taking immediate appropriate action to eliminate the conflict. Examples include, but are not limited to: • One parry uses his or her position to obtain special advantage, benefit, or access to the other parry's time, services, facilities, equipment, supplies, badge, uniform, prestige, or influence. • One party receives or accepts money (or anything else of value) from another party or has equity or a financial interest in or partial or whole ownership of the other parry's organization. • One party is an employee, board member or family member of the other party. Potential Conflict oflnterest: A potential conflict of interest may exist if a person has a relationship, affiliation, or other interest that could create an inappropriate influence if the person is called on to make a decision or recommendation that would affect one or more of those relationships, affiliations, or interests. Or-anizational Conflict oflnterest: A conflict of interest can also occur with an organization that is a grant applicant in a competitive grant process or grantee of a state agency. Organizational conflicts of interest occur when: • A grantee's objectivity in carrying out the grant is impaired or compromised due to competing duties or loyalties • A grantee, potential grantee or grant applicant has an unfair competitive advantage through being furnished unauthorized proprietary information or source selection information that is not available to all competitors City Council Packet Page Number 188 of 501 12, Attachment 1 This section to be completed by Grantee's Authorized Representative (AR): I certify that we will maintain an adequate Conflict of Interest Policy, and throughout the term of our agreement, we will monitor and report any actual, potential, individual, or organizational conflicts of interest to the State's Authorized Representative.

The project improves campus access, infrastructure, and public -facing design, helping sustain a resilient commercial environment that benefits both patients and the broader business community. City Council Packet Page Number 211 of 501 J2 Background: The existing hospital is approximately 370,000 square feet on a 28-acre parcel zoned Business Commercial (BC). Hospitals in this district require a conditional use permit. The hospital's conditional use permit was originally approved in 1982, with building expansions approved in 1997, 2008, 2021, and 2023. The city has received applications from the applicant for a conditional use permit (CUP) amendment, a setback variance, a parking waiver, and design review to facilitate the expansion at its site at 1575 Beam Avenue. The approximately 189,600-square-foot expansion is four stories and has multiple connections to the existing building. The project will require temporary relocation of the main and emergency department entrances during construction. There will also be temporary routing for delivery truck access created from the east via Kennard Street. Looking at the building from the north, the expansion will be approximately 69 feet in height, measured from grade to the machine room at the top of the building. Looking at the building from the south, an additional 14 feet of exposed area will be visible from Beam Avenue. In addition to the building expansion, the project will include removing the existing structured parking and relocating a portion of the existing surface parking spaces, replacing a deteriorating retaining wall along Beam Avenue, and adding and improving pedestrian circulation along St. John's Boulevard to address greater foot traffic between the hospital, the parking areas, and the M Health Clinic at 2945 Hazelwood. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on February 4, 2026, and invited property owners within 500 feet of the site. Attached to this staff report is a questions -and -answers document the applicant prepared based on the discussion at the meeting. Conditional Use Permit Amendment The continued use of the site as a hospital campus is allowed by conditional use in the BC zoning district. The expansion does not alter the area's established character. The proposed expansion complies with the findings required for CUP approval. Traffic to and throughout the site will remain the same, and pedestrian connectivity will be improved with new sidewalks. All parking is proposed to remain on -site, and public utilities will continue to be accessed from Hazelwood Street. The project complies with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and applicable ordinances. Stormwater management upgrades will improve water quality compared to current conditions. In the past, there have been neighborhood concerns regarding the intersection of Saint John's Boulevard, Hazelwood Street, and the M Health Clinic entrance. Given the proposed hospital expansion and the anticipated increase in traffic, an analysis of this intersection is required to determine if a change in intersection control is warranted. The applicant will be required to submit a study to the city engineer and will be responsible for all costs associated with any necessary intersection control changes resulting from the increased traffic generated by this project. Setback Variance City ordinance requires buildings to be set back 30 feet from any front property line. The building setback along Beam Avenue and Hazelwood Street is 30 feet. The applicant proposes to set back the building expansion by 20 feet from the Hazelwood Street right-of-way line. City Council Packet Page Number 212 of 501 J2 Also, within the required setback along Hazelwood Street, the applicant proposes two electrical transformers at the property line. The electrical boxes that will be visible above ground will be less than 50 square feet in size each. They would also be installed within a slight hill and painted green to limit their visibility. The area where the variance is requested is where Hazlewood's right-of-way is 15 feet wider than the rest of the street's right-of-way. This is due to the intersection with Beam Avenue to the south. The built road section of Hazelwood Street does not change within the expanded right-of-way. At this time, there are no plans to expand Hazelwood Street that would require additional right-of-way in this area. As background, in 1997, the city approved a 25-foot setback for the existing parking ramp, which will be demolished as part of the expansion. The proposed 20-foot building setback will reduce the amount of nonconforming setback towards Hazelwood Street. Parkina Waiver The existing conditional use permit requires a minimum of 1,252 parking spaces on campus. The campus includes St. John's Hospital and the three medical office buildings. Currently, there are 1,594 parking spaces on the campus. The applicant submitted a parking study showing that spaces are generally available at all times, with some congestion in spaces closer to the hospital entrance during midday. Prior to starting the construction project, the applicant will construct 135 additional surface parking spaces in its parking lot located in the northeast corner of the campus, towards Kennard Street. These spaces will be permanent. The added spaces will provide more capacity during construction as spaces become unavailable and will provide additional capacity once the project is complete. It should be noted that St. John's Hospital will continue to provide free valet service from the main entrance to anybody who requests it, and safety escorts are available to visitors, patients and staff. The applicant proposes that, upon completion of the project, it will provide a minimum of 1,440 parking spaces for St. John's Hospital and the three medical office buildings on the overall campus. Of the 1,440 parking spaces, 1,185 of the spaces will be dedicated for use at St. John's Hospital. The applicant is comfortable with this number of spaces because of how its hospital space is being programmed and its experience with its other facilities across the region. To consider this proposal, instead of using the standard Maplewood parking ratio of one space per 200 square feet of floor area, staff reviewed parking requirements for all suburban Twin Cities communities with hospitals. When applying the various code requirements from around the metro to this project, the required parking minimums range from 129 to 1,599 parking spaces. Due to this wide range, staff focused on two communities for comparison — Stillwater and Woodbury. HealthPartners is currently constructing a new 380,000-square-foot hospital in Stillwater. Woodwinds Hospital, in Woodbury, is owned by the same entity as St. John's and is less than a half mile from the municipal border in Maplewood's south leg. Stillwater code requires one parking space for every two beds, plus one space for each employee on the shift with the maximum number of personnel. Edina and Hudson, Wisconsin, also use this language for hospital parking requirements. Based on this requirement, the new hospital in Stillwater must provide 717 spaces. The new hospital will be constructing 804 spaces, exceeding the required number. The 804 spaces, factored with a new 380,000-square-foot hospital in Stillwater, result in a ratio of 2.12 spaces per 1,000 square feet. After the proposed St. John's expansion is complete, the hospital will be 559,600 square feet and provide 1,185 dedicated City Council Packet Page Number 213 of 501 J2 hospital spaces, resulting in a ratio of 2.12 spaces per 1,000 square feet. The two facilities would have identical parking ratios. Woodbury uses the following language for its hospital parking requirement: "At least one parking space for each three hospital beds, plus one space for every four employees (full-time or equivalent), other than doctors, plus one parking space for each resident and regular staff doctor." Applying the St. John's project to this language would result in the requirement of 655 spaces. In summary, although post -construction parking is lower than the existing level, it exceeds the previous CUP requirement and comparable minimum requirements in nearby communities and maintains functionality for hospital operations. Because of this, staff supports approving the applicant's proposal of providing a minimum of 1,440 parking spaces for St. John's Hospital and the three medical office buildings on the campus. Any changes to this parking count will require city council approval. If a parking shortage develops, the city council will be authorized to require the applicant to provide additional parking space. Desian Review Site Design The proposed 189,600-square-foot expansion will be constructed to the west of the main part of the current hospital building. The project will require the removal of the existing structured parking. Existing access points to the site will remain the same, and post -construction entry points to the emergency department and the hospital main entrance will be in the same general location. During construction, temporary changes will be made to both the emergency and main entrances to facilitate portions of the project. A deteriorating retaining wall along Beam Avenue will be removed and rebuilt, and additional sidewalks will be constructed along St. John's Boulevard — a private street — to improve access throughout the campus. Architecture The massing of the proposed addition is focused on the southwest corner of the campus and is intended to connect with and complement the existing facility to the east. The applicant is working to complement both the existing hospital building and the surrounding area and buildings. The expansion will use complementary iron spot brick near points that abut the existing building, and then stone veneers and panels with metal panel accents are proposed for the portions that extend south and west on the site. The overall design is attractive and in keeping with the existing campus and neighboring buildings. Landscaping and Tree Plans The applicant's landscape plans show that most proposed plantings and trees to be removed are focused on the areas of the building expansion. New plantings will be near the new main entrance, the surface parking lot nearby along Hazelwood Street, and the new surface parking spaces on the northeast corner of the campus. For the new parking spaces near Kennard Street, 10 trees have already been planted along the street. The applicant proposes a manicured turfgrass look near the sidewalk and will plant native plants directly to the north and east of the new parking area. The applicant proposes removing 790.5 caliper inches from 25 percent of the site's significant trees. The city's tree preservation ordinance requires that the applicant replace 63.8 caliper inches, or 32 2-caliper-inch trees. The landscape plan shows 51 new trees totaling 113.5 caliper inches, exceeding the required number. City Council Packet Page Number 214 of 501 J2 Lighting The applicant submitted a photometric plan as part of its application showing that code requirements are achieved. Site and interior lighting will use full -cutoff, dark -sky -compliant LED fixtures with time -clock dimming and glare control. Signage All signage must be reviewed separately from this design review. There is an approved comprehensive sign plan for the campus. Signs must meet the conditions of this plan. The Community Design Review Board must review any amendments to the plan. Department Comments Engineering Please see Jon Jarosch's engineering report, dated March 6, 2026, attached to this report. Environmental Please see Shann Finwall and Katelyn Bergstrom's environmental report, dated February 24, 2026, attached to this report. Building Official - Randy Johnson The proposed building must meet the minimum requirements of the Minnesota State Building Code. Board/Commission & Council Review Community Design Review Board March 17, 2026: The community design review board will review and recommend approval of this project. The board also recommended that any ground -mounted mechanical equipment be screened, but waived this requirement for roof -mounted mechanical equipment. This is due to the roof -mounted mechanical equipment being painted to match the building and enclosed within the structure during a planned future expansion. Planning Commission March 17, 2026: The planning commission reviewed this project, held a public hearing and recommended approval. No members of the public spoke during the public hearing. City Council April 13, 2026: The City Council will review this project and make a decision. Public Hearing Notice Staff sent a public hearing notice and application details to the 309 properties within 500 feet of the subject property. No comments have been received.

City Ordinance Section 44-1097(a) states that the City Council must base approval of a Conditional Use Permit on the following nine standards for approval. 1. The use would be located, designed, maintained, constructed and operated to be in conformity with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Code of Ordinances. 2. The use would not change the existing or planned character of the surrounding area. 3. The use would not depreciate property values. 4. The use would not involve any activity, process, materials, equipment or methods of operation that would be dangerous, hazardous, detrimental, disturbing or cause a nuisance to any person or property, because of excessive noise, glare, City Council Packet Page Number 217 of 501 J2, Attachment 1 smoke, dust, odor, fumes, water or air pollution, drainage, water run-off, vibration, general unsightliness, electrical interference or other nuisances. 5. The use would not exceed the design standards of any affected street. 6. The use would be served by adequate public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, water and sewer systems, schools and parks. 7. The use would not create excessive additional costs for public facilities or services. 8. The use would maximize the preservation of and incorporate the site's natural and scenic features into the development design. 9. The use would cause minimal adverse environmental effects. 2.03 Variance Standards. City Ordinance Section 44-13 refers to a state statute that states a variance may be granted from the requirements of the zoning ordinance 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, and not solely based on economic conditions; (3) the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. 2.04 Parking Waiver Standards. City Ordinance Section 44-17 states that the City Council may authorize parking standards that differ from those required by the code. Section 3. Findings. 3.01 The proposal meets the specific conditional use permit standards. 3.02 The setback variance request does meet the required standards for a variance. 1. That the need for a variance is caused by circumstances unique to the property, not created by the property owner, and not solely based on economic conditions; 2. That the proposed use is reasonable; and 3. That the variance will not alter the essential character of the locality; and 4. That the need for a variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this ordinance; and 5. That the variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. 3.03 The proposal meets the requirements for a parking waiver. Section 4. City Review Process City Council Packet Page Number 218 of 501 J2, Attachment 1 4.01 The City conducted the following review when considering this conditional use permit request. 1. On March 17, 2026, the planning commission held a public hearing. The city staff published a hearing notice in the Pioneer Press and sent notices to the surrounding property owners. The planning commission gave everyone at the hearing a chance to speak and present written statements. The planning commission recommended that the city council approve this resolution. 2. On April 13, 2026, the city council discussed this resolution. They considered reports and recommendations from the planning commission and city staff. Section 5.

As outlined in this narrative we are requesting the following: • Community Design Review Board Review and Recommendation • Conditional Use Permit (CUP) • Setback Variance • Parking Waiver PROJECT DESCRIPTION The MHealth Fairview hospital is located at 1575 Beam Ave S. in Maplewood, Minnesota (PID: 032922130014). The parcel is approximately 18.94 acres and is currently zoned Business Commercial (BC). The existing site includes both surface and structured parking, some of which will be removed as part of the expansion. Several trees, light poles, wayfinding and regulatory signs, stairs, and sidewalks will be removed within the extents of proposed work. Temporary provisions will be made at both the primary hospital entrance and emergency department entrance to ensure continuous access and service throughout construction. An existing retaining wall along Beam Avenue that is deteriorating will be replaced and pushed south, closer along the right-of-way to expand useable site area. Both the entrance to the emergency department and the main entrance from Hazelwood and St. John's Boulevard will be preserved after the expansion. With increased usage of the parking lot north of St. John's Boulevard, increased pedestrian activity crossing the street is expected/ Pedestrian safe routes will be provided by adding sidewalks along St. John's Boulevard to support pedestrians accessing the hospital from the MHealth Clinic located at 2945 Hazelwood. Currently there is an access off Hazelwood for entry into the parking ramp. This ramp will be removed as part of this expansion; however, the access will remain to serve the future mechanical yard. Because access to the mechanical yard will be infrequent, overall traffic using this access will be reduced. Some vehicles may be required to back in when entering the mechanical yard. 1601 Utica Avenue South, Suite 600, St. Louis Park, MN 55416-3400 (763)591-5400 City Council Packet Page Number 226 of 501 J2, Attachment 6 1=)� One temporary provision requires improvements along a route to Kennard to allow semi trucks and deliveries access to the hospital loading dock from the east. This will provide long-term redundancy for hospital use and operations. The exterior lighting design prioritizes campus safety while strictly adhering to the City of Maplewood's 'Dark Sky' and light trespass ordinances. This includes high -precision LED optics for all site luminaires, Specialized Backlight Shields (BLS) for pole -mounted fixtures located near boundary lines, recessed canopy lighting to prevent horizontal glare, external glare shields for decorative tree up - Lighting, and limiting the height of freestanding site lights in accordance with Code requirements. General site Lighting is programmed by time -clock to dim during Late -evening hours, while decorative accents (such as tree up -Lighting) are scheduled for a complete midnight 'curfew' to further reduce environmental impact. Through the use of full -cutoff optics and architectural shielding, 'hot spots' and glare are eliminated. Fixture finishes (Dark Bronze/Black) are selected to be unobtrusive and blend with the landscape character designed by Loucks and HDR. Refer to the provided Photometric Plans for additional details. The approximately 189,600 square feet expansion is four stories with multiple connection points to the existing building via full connection to the existing on Level 00 and walkway links on Level 01 (public circulation) and Level 02 (public circulation and patient transport and staff). HDR has mindfully selected design elements for the expansion that complement both the existing building and the surrounding area and neighboring buildings. Complementary brick and metal panel will be used on the Level 00 expansion area to tie into the existing building. For the remainder of the expansion, a stone panel system will be used to create consistency across the existing building and expansion. The main entrance will be temporarily relocated from its existing location to the north side of the campus near the Cancer Center, and the ED entrance will be temporarily relocated southeast of the existing Location while new entrances are under construction. The existing loading dock will also be modified to add a third door to manage additional materials to serve the expanded hospital. Interior Lighting design includes high -efficiency LED technology, occupancy sensors with manual overrides in labs, open and private offices, small and medium conference rooms, work rooms, break rooms, storage rooms, public restrooms and smaller areas, daylight dimming for all perimeter spaces, general lighting that is dimmed via time clock in the evening hours with the exception of emergency and night security Lighting, and emergency egress lighting provided on Life Safety power to comply with Building Code. As proposed, the expansion meets the intent of the City's goals of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and Code of Ordinances, fits with the character of the surrounding area, does not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of the neighboring properties, and will not create traffic hazards or congestion. CONDITIONAL USE We are requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the proposed expansion. The existing hospital is located within a Business Commercial (BC) Zoning District and hospitals are a permitted use within this district with approval of a CUP. Page 2 of 5 City Council Packet Page Number 227 of 501 J2, Attachment 6 1=)� The proposed expansion will not depreciate property values or change the existing or planned character of the surrounding area as it is an existing, operational hospital, and the proposed expansion fits with the current zoning and land use. The proposed expansion will not create traffic congestion or unsafe access on existing streets and will enhance pedestrian access with additional sidewalks. In addition, the parking will remain on -site, utilities will continue to rely on connections to adjacent public right-of-way in Hazelwood, stormwater management will remain on -site, and pedestrian connectivity and access will either remain as -is or be improved. The expanded hospital will be designed, maintained, constructed, and will continue to operate in conformity with the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan and Code of Ordinances. The expansion is designed to complement the existing building and surrounding area. As designed, the hospital expansion strengthens its connection to the Maplewood community through warm, inviting site features and enhanced aesthetics along the Beam and Hazelwood public frontage. A new retaining wall further unifies the overall design and preserves elements of the site's identity. Hazelwood supplies all necessary utilities for the needs of the site and project. Early project phasingwill install provisions to maintain electrical and water services to the existing hospital building to remain. Required Gopher State One Calling utility locating shall occur with necessary on -site meetings to confirm protection of existing infrastructure to avoid impacts to service. The General Contractor will install necessary perimeter controls to prevent non -construction access to the site. This includes jersey barriers, fence, and screening as necessary. All grading activities will be monitored for dust control by application of water, and erosion control BMPs will be installed to capture any sediment runoff prior to leaving the site. All electrical equipment, including transformers and LED drivers, are solid-state and utilize silent - operating technology to ensure no excessive noise or vibration at the property line. The outdoor standby generators are housed in high-performance, sound -attenuated enclosures specifically engineered to reduce decibel levels in accordance with City of Maplewood noise ordinances and specific project requirements. This engineered approach is supported by a successful "proof of concept" already established on the campus, as the existing standby generators at the loading dock area operate with negligible noise impact. The system is designated for emergency use only, with non -emergency operation limited to brief, scheduled regulatory testing performed exclusively during standard daytime business hours to eliminate any potential inconvenience to neighboring properties during evening or overnight hours. This controlled operational profile, combined with proven sound mitigation and site - verified performance, ensures that the standby power infrastructure does not create a noise nuisance or interfere with the harmonious development of the surrounding area. In addition, new mechanical equipment installed on the exterior of the facility will be evaluated to minimize noise impacts on the adjacent properties using quiet technology or sound barriers. The proposed expansion will not create traffic congestion or unsafe access on existing streets or create excessive additional costs for public facilities or services. As designed, the project limits the impact within public right-of-way. Where work in right-of-way will occur, restoration measures that meet or exceed all current standards will be implemented. Minimal adverse environmental effects are anticipated as a result of the proposed expansion, and in fact, any downstream waterbodywill environmentally benefit from cleaner stormwater runoff as a result of updating to current stormwater management criteria as part of the expansion. Page 3 of 5 City Council Packet Page Number 228 of 501 J2, Attachment 6 The electrical systems are also designed to ensure minimal adverse environmental effects through transitioning to 100% LED advanced controls, significantly reducing the carbon footprint and mercury waste, incorporating dark sky preservation to control property line spill, and preserve the local night sky and minimize impact to local nocturnal wildlife. The exterior lighting was closely coordinated with Landscape Architecture to protect the existing and proposed systems, ensuring long-term health of the site's natural features. The mechanical systems are designed with newer technologies that reduce the existing energy use index from the existing building. This includes utilizing natural gas high efficiency condensing boilers to heat the new addition and new chillers with integrated VFD's to provide chilled water with higher degrees of energy efficiency than the existing infrastructure. SETBACK VARIANCE We are requesting approval of a Setback Variance where the expansion encroaches on the building setback; zero (0') foot setback from property line. This is unique to the site where the Hazelwood right- of-way widens (15') as it approaches Beam Avenue. This occurs midway along the expansion. The built road section of Hazelwood does not change with the adjustment to right-of-way width. It is our understanding that there is no intended or planned expansion to Hazelwood that would require the preservation of additional right-of-way setback in this area. Note that the existing parking ramp, which will be demolished as part of the expansion, currently encroaches farther into the building setback than the proposed addition; therefore, the requested variance reduces the existing nonconformity. Approval of this request will allow the property owner to use the property in a reasonable manner and will not alter the essential character of the locality. The proposed expansion is to an existing hospital within a zoning district that allows for the use, and the expansion will maintain consistency between the existing hospital and the surrounding area. REQUEST FOR APPEAL— PARKING WAIVER The City of Maplewood's Code does not provide parking count requirements for Hospitals. Per discussions with the City of Maplewood, parking count requirements from nearby cities with relevant parking codes were analyzed to determine an appropriate count for the expanded campus. As part of the expansion, the existing parking garage along Hazelwood and existing Lot A and ED parking will be demolished. Prior to the demolition, 135 surface parking spaces will be added at the east side of the campus to ensure adequate parking. This additional surface parkingwill remain after construction of the expansion is complete. Parking counts are outlined below: • Current Parking Counts:1,594 • Construction Parking Counts: 1,378 • Post -Construction Parking Counts: 1,440 While the post -construction parking count is slightly lower than the current parking count, it still exceeds the minimum code requirements that were analyzed when determining the appropriate count.

Also included with this project are modifications to the existing parking lots at the northeast corner of the site to accommodate parking stalls lost with the removal of the existing parking ramp. 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'/2 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 an underground infiltration pipe system, along with an infiltration basin. 1) This project shall be submitted to the Ramsey -Washington Metropolitan Watershed District (RWMWD) for approval. All requirements of RWMWD shall be met. 2) A stormwater maintenance agreement is required between the property owner, the City of Maplewood, and the RWMWD. This stormwater maintenance agreement shall be signed by all parties and recorded with Ramsey County prior to the issuance of permits. 3) Pretreatment of stormwater (minimum 3-foot sump) shall be provided at all entry points into the underground infiltration system, including at STMH #301 and CBMH #401. Additionally, STMH #101 shall include a 3-foot sump to capture debris in runoff prior to discharge into the public storm sewer system. City Council Packet Page Number 237 of 501 J2, Attachment 10 4) The underground infiltration system consists of perforated corrugated metal pipes. Corrugated metal pipes are susceptible to corrosion from winter deicing salt. It is recommended that this system be replaced with an alternative, such as high -density polyethylene pipe, that is not subject to corrosion. 5) The 100-year high-water level shall be depicted on the plans for the underground infiltration system and bio-infiltration basin. Adjacent structures shall meet the City and RWMWD's freeboard requirements. Grading and Erosion Control 6) A copy of the site's NPDES permit coverage is required prior to the issuance of a grading permit. 7) A double row of silt fencing or other perimeter control measures is required between site grading and Hazelwood Street and Beam Avenue 8) Slopes shall be a maximum of 3H:1 V. 9) Erosion control plan sheets shall be submitted for the parking lot work at the northeast portion of the site. 10) The site plan depicts 4 steps on the sidewalk near the intersection of Kennard Street and Saint John's boulevard. The applicant shall revise the sidewalk layout to eliminate the need for steps in this location to ensure all users can safely navigate this walkway. Traffic Impacts 11) The City of Maplewood has fielded numerous calls over the years regarding the safety of the Saint John's Boulevard/Hazelwood Street/MHealth Clinic entrance intersection. With the proposed large addition to the hospital and subsequent increase in traffic, the existing concerns have the potential to be exacerbated. This intersection shall be analyzed to determine whether or not warrants are met for a change in intersection control. Costs associated with any necessary intersection control change, due to the increase in traffic from the hospital expansion, are the responsibility of the applicant. Sanitary Sewer 12) The project proposes connecting to the existing 12-inch sanitary sewer mainline beneath Hazelwood Street with a new 10-inch sanitary sewer service for the hospital addition. The applicant shall review the downstream sanitary sewer system to ensure adequate capacity is available in the public system prior to making this connection. Upsizing of the City Council Packet Page Number 238 of 501 J2, Attachment 10 public mainline may be required to accommodate the flow from this proposed hospital expansion. Watermain 13) This project shall be reviewed by Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS). All requirements of SPRWS shall be met. General 14) 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. 15) The applicant shall address all comments in the Ramsey County review email dated March 6, 2026. All conditions of the county shall be met. All work within their right-of-way require permits from the county. 16) All disturbed areas of Hazelwood Street and Kennard Street right-of-way shall be restored per the City's Right -of -Way Ordinance. - END COMMENTS - City Council Packet Page Number 239 of 501 3/6/26, 3:40 PM 1575 Beam - Michael A.

Michael, Thank you for sending plans for the expansion of St. John's Hospital to Ramsey County for review and comment. I'm sorry that I could not get comments to you sooner, our comments are below. Water/Stormwater: The existing 21" RCP County sewer pipe at E1 R/P1 R has an estimated full -flow capacity of 39.8 cfs and the existing conditions HydroCAD results show it is nearing capacity for the 10-year event. Please review the following items to confirm the project does not cause increases in the County storm sewer system: 1. Did not model entire site, hydraulic results are not comprehensive of flows entering off -site systems - the County pipe system may already exceed capacity. 2. Drainage areas, as well as impervious areas, in SWPPP do not match the values presented in the Stormwater Management Plan. 3. Catchment delineations to not appear to follow existing topography and storm drainage system as shown in the civil plans. For example: • Boundary at P6S does not include the entire BMP. • Northern portions of E10S/P10S appears to discharge directly to City of Maplewood storm sewer on Hazelwood, not directly to the County sewer on Beam. 4. The P6S Bioinfiltration Basin should be reviewed as the high water elevation in the 2-year event exceeds curb elevations - is the intent for this BMP to overflow into the parking lot and roadway? 5. Recommend reviewing existing on -site BMP to determine if they have capacity to treat/retain additional impervious area in northwest parking lot. 6. Note that the proposed design appears to double -treating stormwater runoff from existing rain garden E4P/P4P. Programming: Improvements to Beam Ave. are scheduled for 2031 construction, pending decisions associated with the Bronze Line BRT project. Maintenance: 1. Plans show the removal of a retaining wall in the southwest corner of the property and replacement to match existing. The site plans show a portion of the existing and proposed retaining wall on and inside Beam Ave right-of-way (ROW). Ramsey County does not permit retaining walls or other privately owned structures within the ROW and requests that the wall be reconstructed five feet back from the county ROW line. This follows the same or similar set back requirements often established for permanent structures or other structured amenities where locating such a structure on or too near a property line inevitably infringes on the ability of the abutting property owner to maintain or work within their property. 2. The asphalt sidewalk/trail along Beam Ave. between Hazlewood St. and Kennard St. is in need of maintenance or replacement and relocation away from the back of the curb. Removal of the retaining wall and other work in the paved area on St. John's property adjacent to Beam Ave. creates and opportunity for city, county and developer to collaborate in removing and replacing the asphalt sidewalk/trail with a concrete walk with a turf boulevard, providing a more durable, safe and high -quality pedestrian facility that matches what is built along the rest of Beam Ave. Permitting: No comments regarding utility connections.

Tree removal and replacement is proposed with the expansion. The applicant must comply with the City's tree ordinance and landscape policies. Trees Tree Preservation Ordinance: a. Significant Trees: Maplewood's tree preservation ordinance describes a significant tree as a healthy tree of the following size: 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 that is 28 inches in diameter or greater. Tree Replacement: If greater than 20 percent of significant trees are removed, tree replacement is based on a calculation of significant trees located on the site and significant trees removed. Credits are given for all specimen trees that are preserved. If less than 20 percent of significant trees are removed, tree replacement is based on a calculation of one 2-caliper inch replacement tree per significant tree removed. d. Tree Replacement: The tree standards require that as many replacement trees be planted on the site as possible. An applicant can pay into the City's tree fund at a rate of $60 per caliper inch for trees that cannot be planted on site. The City uses the tree fund to manage trees in parks and within the right-of-way. 2. Tree Impacts: The tree plan identifies 3,113 caliper inches of significant tree. The applicant proposes to remove 790.5 caliper inches, which represents 25 percent of the significant trees on the site. 3. Tree Replacement Requirements: The City's tree preservation ordinance requires that the applicant replace 63.8 caliper inches, or 32 2-caliper inch trees. 4. Tree Replacement: The landscape plan shows 51 new trees, equaling 113.5 caliper inches, which exceeds the tree replacement requirements. City Council Packet Page Number 241 of 501 J2, Attachment 12 5. Tree Recommendations: a. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant must submit the following: 1) Replace the Autum Blaze Maple species with Swamp White Oak, Pin Oak, or Burr Oak, or Shingle Oak trees. Maple trees are overabundant in Maplewood. 2) Replace the Bruns Serbian Spruce species with Douglas Fir or Tamarack. Spruce trees are overabundant in Maplewood. 3) Tree Protection: Tree protection plan showing how preserved trees next to grading will be protected per the City's Tree Standards. 4) Escrow: Tree escrow in the amount of $60 per caliper inch of trees to be replaced on the site. The escrow will be released once the trees are planted with a one-year warranty. Overall Landscaping 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. Landscaping Recommendation: Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant must submit a revised landscape plan with the following changes: Sumac: Replace Grow -Low Fragrant Sumac with black chokecherry, snowberry, gray dogwood, or American highbush cranberry. Sumac is a very aggressive species that can take over other landscaping. 2. Grasses: Replace Miscanthus Sinensis "Purpurascens" with a native grass species. This species is considered invasive in some states. b. Increase the number of grass species used in the landscaping. Use native grass species that will provide a diverse landscape and more biodiversity such as big bluestem, little bluestem, prairie dropseed, switchgrass, side -oats grama, Indian grass, Canada wild rye, buffalo grass, Kalm's brome, bottlebrush grass, fowl manna grass, tussock sedge. 3. Seed mix: Submit a detailed legend identifying the native seed used on the site.

The purpose of the meeting was to share project details, gather input from the community, and address questions. The compiled questions and answers (Q & A) from the meeting are provided below. Q1: Is that where the ramp is located? Where the new building will sit? Al: Yes. Q2: I heard St. John's plans to double in size in the next 10 years. Is this true? A2: No. There was previously discussed, but that plan has changed. There is shell space for future. Q3: How long with this take? A3: Construction is expected to take approximately 22 months. Q4: Improve or remodel of the old areas? A4: There is currently no plan to refresh these areas. That would be more of an operational project. Right now, only some flooring will be refreshed in select areas. Q5: The rooms are quite small. A5: There are many restrictions for renovating, and we are evaluating design options that complywith applicable codes and patient -safety requirements. One option is using sliding doors to gain more space in the rooms. Q6: Would you expand up in the future? Is that the plan? A6: The building is designed to support the addition of two floors. There is no defined timeline for future expansion, but it could happen in 10 years. Q7: Are you doing a helipad? A7: No helipad is planned. Page 1 of 2 3 City Council Packet Page Number 243 of 501 J2, Attachment 13 IMN Q8: As you increase in size, that increases traffic flow. A8: Traffic patterns are not expected to change, and additional parking has been incorporated into the design. These will both help with traffic flow. Q9: The parking lots are full. How will this be handled? A9: Parking closest to the hospital is currently full, while the lots farther out remain fairly open. The additional parking being added will also help ensure adequate parking. Patient parking will continue to be reserved in the areas closest to the building. Q10: Will we be looking at the intersection St. John's Blvd and Hazelwood and the medical building. A10: The City would need to look at that intersection. Feel welcome to contact Todd Lampin en, Sr. Project Architect, with HDR if you have any questions.

Conditional Use Permit Amendment Resolution b. Design Review Resolution Action Requested: ✓ Motion ❑ Discussion ❑ Public Hearing Form of Action: ✓ Resolution ❑ Ordinance ❑ Contract/Agreement ❑ Proclamation Summary: Redeeming Love Church has requested approval for a building expansion and facade updates for the existing building at 2425 White Bear Avenue North. The church plans to remove the exterior stairs on the north side of the building and build an on -grade main entrance. The project will include removing and reconfiguring a portion of the parking area adjacent to the main entrance expansion. To proceed with the proposal, the applicant requests to amend the site's conditional use permit and design review approval. Recommended Action: a. Motion to approve the conditional use permit amendment resolution for Redeeming Love Church, located at 2425 White Bear Avenue North, subject to certain conditions of approval. b. Motion to approve the design review resolution for exterior facade updates and a building expansion to Redeeming Love Church, located at 2425 White Bear Avenue North, subject to certain conditions of approval. 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: N/A Strategic Plan Relevance: ✓ Safety 0 Focus Area: Expand accessibility and mobility for all residents ❑ Sustainability 0 Focus Area: ✓ Development 0 Focus Area: Strenghten human connection and community growth The project will improve the building's accessibility with a new expanded on -grade entrance, interior stairs, and an ADA lift. The religious facility serves the community as a place to gather, strengthening connections within the city and the larger metro area. The exterior facade updates and interior renovations will improve the building's appearance and overall functionality. City Council Packet Page Number 264 of 501 J3 Background: Redeeming Love Church proposes to build a 1,260-square-foot addition to the entrance of the existing 53,400-square-foot building. The project would remove the exterior entry stairs, install interior stairs within an expanded on -grade entrance to the building, with an ADA lift and remove a portion of the parking area on the north side of the building, which will then be reconfigured adjacent to the main entrance expansion. The sanctuary and lobby will be remodeled, with new lighting, seating, and flooring installed. The church plans to begin construction in June 2026 and complete the project by November 2026. Conditional Use Permit The 8.53-acre site was formerly a Montgomery Ward office building. The City Council approved a conditional use permit for a religious facility on June 28, 1993. The office building was remodeled at that time and has since been used as a religious facility. Religious facilities are permitted in any zoning district with a conditional use permit. The proposed building expansion requires a CUP amendment. Design Review Site Plan The single -story expansion is on the north side of the building. The applicant is not proposing other changes to the remaining areas of the parking lot or site. Site access and existing utilities will remain unchanged. Parking City code requires one space for every four people allowed under the maximum building occupancy. Based on the initial review of the building's individual spaces, the applicant's narrative states that the maximum building occupancy is approximately 1,552 persons, requiring 388 parking stalls. The final occupant load for the building will be provided upon review of the building permit plans and issuance of the certificate of occupancy. The applicant's narrative outlines that there are currently 367 parking stalls on the site. Since the building's overall capacity and operations are not expanding, additional parking is not required by code. However, the narrative states that 21 stalls will be removed from the north end of the building and replaced with 49 stalls, a slight increase, bringing the total to 395. The proposal only includes reconfiguring the parking area on the north side of the building near the addition and leaving the remaining areas of the lot to the west and south of the building as they are. However, the applicant will review the existing striped stalls, drive access aisles, and pavement conditions on the rest of the site and submit a parking plan to staff before construction. The plan will identify areas where parking spaces will be re -striped if necessary and repair any areas with deficient pavement. Building Elevations The proposed building addition will be primarily a steel frame structure with a gable roof. The wall materials are primarily aluminum and glass storefront, with a small amount of prefinished standing - seam metal fascia and rock -face CMU on the foundation wall. The existing plain concrete fascia wrapping the building will be refaced with prefinished commercial -grade horizontal siding. The existing precast concrete panel walls will remain unchanged. Landscaping and Screening The applicant submitted a landscape plan showing 15 trees, six shrubs, and 64 grasses to be planted on the site. The plans do not specify tree removal, so the applicant must submit a tree removal and replacement plan. City environmental review staff have identified various tree, shrub, City Council Packet Page Number 265 of 501 J3 and grass species to replace some of the currently proposed invasive species. The applicant must update their landscape to reflect the recommended replacement species. The site's trash dumpsters are not stored within an enclosure. The applicant will submit a trash enclosure plan, outline the enclosure's location, and include the proposed materials and construction details. The trash enclosure plan must be submitted with the building permit plans for review. Signage All signage must be reviewed separately from this design review. The applicant must submit permits for any signage installed on the site, and sign drawings must meet city ordinance requirements. Lighting The applicant submitted a photometric plan; however, it is not a scalable PDF and is not large enough to print and view to determine whether the lighting ordinance requirements are met. The applicant will submit a new plan for review with the building permit. The photometric plan must include the following: 1. Site and architectural plans indicating the location of the types of luminaires proposed. 2. A detailed description of the luminaire, including the manufacturer's catalog cuts and drawings, including sections. 3. A drawn plan that illustrates the light spread and footcandle levels of the proposed luminaires. Department Comments Randy Johnson — Building Official The proposed addition and remodeling shall meet the minimum requirements of the Minnesota State Building Code. Jon Jarosch — Assistant City Engineer The applicant will meet the requirements outlined in the engineering review dated March 2, 2026. Shann Finwall — Sustainability Coordinator Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant must submit a tree removal and replacement plan and a revised landscape plan that removes invasive species and shows replacement species as recommended by environmental review staff. Jerry Novak — Fire Marshal The applicant will submit plans outlining all fire protection measures and any necessary modifications for plan review. The applicant will obtain a permit and ensure the Fire Marshal conducts all required inspections. Board & Commission Review Community Design Review Board March 17, 2026: The community design review board reviewed the project and recommended approval. Planning Commission March 17, 2026: The planning commission reviewed the project, held a public hearing, and recommended approval. City Council Packet Page Number 266 of 501 J3 Parking Lot Layout Discussion Staff sought guidance from the community design review board and the planning commission during their respective meetings on whether to require a ten -foot -wide planter or median strip for every three or four parking bays within the parking lot. This was discussed as a measure to prevent movement diagonally across the parking lot and to improve overall aesthetics. Following the discussion, the board and commission determined that the project scope does not warrant this requirement in the parking lot at this time, as there have been no safety concerns, and only a portion of it will be reconfigured on the north side of the building as part of the addition. Public Hearing Notice Staff sent a public hearing notice and application details to the 17 properties within 500 feet of the subject property. Staff did not receive public comments.

Enclosed is Check for $5,546 PROJECT DESCRIPTION/NARRATIVE Scope Redeeming Love Church located at 2425 White Bear Avenue N proposes to build a 1,260 square foot single story addition to the existing 53,400 square foot church building on their 8.53 acre site located at 2425 White Bear Avenue North and described by the attached boundary and topographic survey. The proposed addition is an expanded on -grade main entrance to the building. The project will include demolishing the existing exterior open steps and constructing new interior steps and an ADA lift. The project will also include refacing of the existing plain concrete fascia that wraps around the building with a prefinished commercial grade horizontal siding. Also included in the project is remodeling of the existing sanctuary and lobby (interior spaces) . Remodeling will include new ceilings, lighting, seating and flooring in the sanctuary and the creation of a coffee serving area in the lobby. No changes are proposed to the seating capacity of the existing sanctuary. Site Development The project will include demolishing a portion of the existing parking and drives in front of the main entrance and providing new drop-off, drives and parking that fit with the addition of the new entrance. These site changes involve disturbing 53,500 square feet of the existing 371,567 square foot site for the building addition and parking lot revision. This works out to be 14.4% of the site. The proposed new plan calls for demolishing 21 of the existing 367 parking spaces and constructing 49 new parking spaces in that same area of the site, bringing the total number parking places to 395. 12 of those spaces are ADA accessible spaces. Number of required parking spaces is based on providing one parking spaces for each four seats in the main sanctuary space. The seating plan in the sanctuary as it is currently setup shows 940 seats plus the stage with an occupant load of 64 bring the capacity of the space to 1,004. At the one -to -four ratio, 251 parking spaces would be required. The seating is not fixed in the sanctuary and, even if the occupant load was figured on the basis of one person per seven square feet plus the stage occupants (listed above), yielding an occupant load for the space of 1, 488 plus 64 equals 1, 552 occupants, there is still enough parking being provided on that basis to meet the one -to -four ratio. The only way to get that many people in the space would, of course, be to takeout he chairs and have everyone standing. City Council Packet Page Number 281 of 501 A Attachment 6 Redeeming Love Church CUP Application January 23, 2026 Revised March 5, 2026 Page 4 Detailed civil engineering drawings prepared by Demarc Engineering of Brooklyn Park, MN and landscape plans prepared by Calyx Design Group are attached to and a part of this CUP application. The drawings show the proposed landscaping, grading, paving, utilities, drainage and stormwater management system along with related details and calculations. The proposed stormwater management design covers only the disturbed portion of the site. Building Size and Height Total area of the proposed new building addition will be 1,260 square feet on a single level. The existing building area is 53,400 square feet. Total new and existing area is 54,660 square feet. Overall height of the building addition is 29'-8" feet. The existing building is 15'-10" in height. See attached sheet of exterior elevations for vertical building dimensions. Exterior Building Materials The proposed new building addition will be a primarily steel frame structure with both minimal pitch and gable roof surfaces. The exterior wall materials will be primarily aluminum and glass storefront with a small amount of prefinished standing seam metal fascia and a small amount of rock face CMU foundation wall. The project will also include refacing of the existing plain concrete fascia that wraps around the building with a prefinished commercial grade horizontal siding. Site Development Attached are civil engineering drawings showing parking, drives, grading, drainage, storm water management, and underground utilities for the site. No new utility hook-up are proposed as a part of this project. Proposed Construction Schedule for Church Project The Church proposes to start construction on the new facility on or about June 1, 2026 and complete the project by November 1, 2026.

Recommended Action: Motion to approve a request for $300,000 of Local Affordable Housing Aid to the Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity to support the Beebe Meadows and Duluth Street projects in Maplewood, and direct staff to prepare an agreement between the City of Maplewood and Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? ❑ No ✓ Yes, the true or estimated cost is $300,000. Financing source(s): ❑ Adopted Budget ❑ Budget Modification ❑ New Revenue Source ❑ Use of Reserves ✓ Other: This request would be fulfilled using LAHA funds. Strategic Plan Relevance: ❑ Safety 0 Focus Area: ❑ Sustainability 0 Focus Area: ✓ Development 0 Focus Area: Expand life cycle housing options for all demographics The city supports the leveraging of resources and partnerships to meet the diverse needs of the community. In addition, the city promotes quality housing and looks for creative solutions to support the expansion of housing offerings for a variety of households. Background: The LAHA program is funded through a dedicated sales tax that helps cities, counties, and Tribal Nations develop and preserve affordable housing, along with a variety of other programs. The LAHA funds must be spent by December 31St of the fourth year after the aid is received. This means that the LAHA funds received by Maplewood in 2024 must be spent by December 31 St 2028. In the event that there are any unspent funds, they must be returned to Minnesota Housing. City Council Packet Page Number 314 of 501 J4 To date, the City of Maplewood has received $809,115.60 in LAHA funding over the timeframe below: 2024 July — 110,753.15 Dec — 110,753.14 Total - $221,506.29 2025 July — 293,804.66 Dec — 293,804.65 Total - $587,609.31 No LAHA funds have been disbursed to date; however, based on previous Council feedback, Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity continues to work with staff to develop a housing acquisition and rehabilitation program focused on improving substandard single-family housing that can serve as quality long term affordable housing. In addition to this request, other affordable housing projects are in the early planning stages and are expected to come before the Council in the coming months for consideration. Attachments: 1.

Intent to Close Meeting Pursuant to Minn. Stat. Section 13D.05 subd. 3(b) b. Resolution Ordering Abatement of Hazardous Building and Public Nuisance Action Requested: ✓ Motion ❑ Discussion ❑ Public Hearing Form of Action: ✓ Resolution ❑ Ordinance ❑ Contract/Agreement ❑ Proclamation Summary: The property at 1025 Century Avenue South, is located in the R-1 residential zoning district, and contains a single-family dwelling ("Dwelling") and a garage ("Garage") that are each posted as uninhabitable due to hazardous conditions and unpermitted alterations. The site has been regraded and appears to primarily serve as a construction yard, a prohibited use in the R-1 residential district. To restore the Property to a safe and code -compliant condition, staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution and order the abatement of the hazardous and nuisance conditions on the Property, and authorize the City Attorney to pursue a court order enjoining violations of the Zoning Code related to the prohibited use of the Property as well as any occupation of an uninhabitable structure. Given that certain aspects of the property involve matters protected by attorney -client privilege, the city council may choose to enter a closed session for further discussion before making a motion on the hazardous building and public nuisance conditions. While a closed session is not required prior to taking action, any discussion held in open session must be limited to the public information presented in the report. Recommended Action: If the city council chooses to enter a closed session for discussion, the council must state on the record the specific grounds permitting the meeting to be closed and describe the subject to be discussed. Therefore, the following motion is provided: a. Pursuant to Minnesota State Statute 13D.05 subd.3(b), attorney -client privilege, I hereby move to close the regular meeting and go into closed session to discuss the hazardous buildings and public nuisance conditions at 1025 Century Avenue South. City Council Packet Page Number 331 of 501 J5 Depending on the outcome of the discussion, staff recommends the following motion: b. Motion to approve the resolution ordering the abatement of hazardous buildings and public nuisance conditions at 1025 Century Avenue South and authorize related legal proceedings. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? ❑ No ✓ Yes, the true or estimated cost is indeterminable and depends on how legal proceedings play out. It is worth noting, however, that the statutory and city code provisions authorizing these proceedings allow for the city to recover some enforcement costs via special assessments against the Property. Financing source(s): ✓ Adopted Budget ❑ Budget Modification ❑ New Revenue Source ❑ Use of Reserves ❑ Other: NA Strategic Plan Relevance: ✓ Safety 0 Focus Area: Strengthen regulations and code compliance ❑ Sustainability 0 Focus Area: ❑ Development 0 Focus Area: Code enforcement is a key function of city services, and the use of abatement is a tool to compel compliance. Background: The property owner acquired the Property in 2023. The Property has been subject to City enforcement efforts since 2024. The property owner has ignored stop work orders and correspondence from the City demanding that he obtain proper permits and approvals in order to perform work. On November 25, 2025, after unsuccessful attempts to coordinate an inspection with the owner, the Property and buildings were inspected by city building department and community development staff pursuant to an administrative search warrant. During that inspection, the following conditions, among others, were observed: 1. The property owner neglected to apply for any building permits for any construction and alterations that were performed at the site. 2. Stop work orders were issued to the property owner and were posted on the door of the Dwelling on August 20, 2024 and July 1, 2025. The property owner ignored both stop work notices, removed the postings, and continued performing construction without obtaining the proper permits. 3. The alterations that have been made to both the Dwelling and Garage have left the structures in a condition that is considered dangerous to life, health, or safety of the occupants. 4. The Dwelling no longer has any legal bedrooms and is considered an uninhabitable structure because the property owner has removed all the windows from the existing bedrooms. He also removed all the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. 5. The property owner has removed the earth around the Dwelling such that the footings for the existing basement walls do not meet the minimum frost depth requirements. 6. The Dwelling is no longer provided with a legal means of egress because the property owner removed the decks and stairs that served as the main exit from the house. There are City Council Packet Page Number 332 of 501 J5 doors from the upper level that go out to a platform which no longer goes out to a compliant deck and stair with the proper guard and handrails. What exists is a condition that is considered dangerous to life, health and safety of the occupants. The door from the lower level does not comply because it is missing a landing and the door does not appear to be the proper width. 7. The Dwelling is no longer provided with the approved address identification. 8. The property owner has removed some walls that appear to be walls that supported the upper floor framing in the Dwelling. The property owner indicated that he provided beam framing; however, this has been covered, and it is unknown what has been provided and whether it is capable of supporting the required loads and transferring the resulting loads to the supporting structural elements and foundation. 9. The exterior walls of the Dwelling at the upper covered deck area and other areas throughout the house have been filled in with some type of framing. It is unclear what framing has been provided since these areas are covered. 10. Exterior walls are required to be provided with a weather -resistant exterior wall envelope. Many of the existing walls of the Dwelling do not have any type of exterior finish but rather have either a house wrap that is not approved for exposed use or a roof underlayment which is not an approved water resistive barrier. 11. The property owner indicated that he had modified the opening for the front garage door to increase the height of the opening and the ceiling inside the Garage. This revised framing has been covered, and it is unknown what alterations have been made and whether the roof framing that has been modified are roof trusses or modified rafter framing. It is unclear whether the construction that has been provided is capable of supporting the required design loads. 12. There are questionable gas piping connections in the lower -level utility room of the Dwelling. There appears to be thermoplastic hose that runs from this utility room to the Garage in an underground conduit and it is unclear what this gas line serves in the Garage. This thermoplastic hose is not approved for residential use. 13. The property owner has provided electrical wiring throughout the Dwelling and Garage and within the Property that is very questionable and is in violation of the minimum requirements of the Minnesota Electrical Code. 14. Section 18-31(5) of the City Code deems it a public nuisance to accumulate rubbish, debris, and other offensive materials on property. There are piles of dirt, rock, class 5 material, brush, lumber, and logs that need to be removed. 15. Section 18-33(3) of the City Code deems it a public nuisance to store or accumulate explosives, inflammable liquids and other dangerous substances or materials on property. There are four propane tanks, five gas containers, six batteries, and multiple unidentifiable tanks, including one bearing a flammable warning label, on the Property. 16. Section 18-33(6) of the City Code deems it a public nuisance to erect or alter buildings in violation of the City Code, including the Minnesota State Building Code, and other fire ordinances concerning manner and materials of construction. The Dwelling and Garage have been altered in violation of the City Code, including the Minnesota State Building Code, through the unpermitted work described above. City Council Packet Page Number 333 of 501 J5 17. Section 18-33(9) of the City Code deems it a public nuisance to permit or maintain the outside storage of items such as but not limited to pails, barrels, lumber, scrap wood, vehicle parts, inoperable machinery, equipment parts, brushes, household furniture, building materials, scrap metal, junk or similar materials. The Property is being used for outside storage of such items. 18. Section 18-33(13) of the City Code deems it a public nuisance to maintain dangerous, unguarded machinery, equipment or other property on private property in a manner that may attract minor children. The Property includes unguarded machinery and equipment that is outdoors and visible from public right-of-way that may attract minor children. 19. Sections 18-33(23), 18-33(26), 36-39 and 44-17 of the City Code deem it a public nuisance to park or store a vehicle, or any part of a vehicle, on grass, unimproved areas, or other areas not consisting of a lawfully installed hard surface. Motor vehicle(s), trailers, boats or motorized recreational vehicle(s) shall not be located on grass, dirt, sand, or landscaping in the front yard setback area of the property. Parking areas shall not be in the street right of way (ROW) or closer than 5 feet from any of the property lines without prior city approval. There are vehicles parked or stored at the Property on areas not consisting of a lawfully installed hard surface. 20. Sections 36-261, 44-4 to 44-6, and 44-101 to 44-102 of the City Code deem it a violation for a property to have vehicle (s)/equipment that meet one or more of the following criteria, are considered commercial and are not allowed to be stored outside in residential areas: Any defined commercial vehicle(s)/equipment or any vehicle(s) registered for more than 12,000 lbs., unless an exception has been granted with prior city approval by special permit. There are three commercial trailers, a compact excavator and a skid -steer loader stored on the Property. 21. Section 18-33(7) of the City Code deems it a nuisance to store a portable on -demand storage unit (POD) on a residential property for more than 60 days. There have been portable storage units at the Property for more than 60 days. 22. Section 18-464 of the City Code prohibits land alteration, including retaining walls, on steep slopes except by permit and with an erosion control plan, and requires stormwater runoff to be directed away from steep slopes. Unpermitted retaining walls made of randomly placed jersey barriers and tree logs have been created throughout the site, including steep slopes, to allow the yard to be leveled out. The exterior grades, including steep slopes, have been greatly disturbed throughout the site and do not meet land alteration standards and stormwater management requirements. 23. Sections 40-161 through 40-351 of the City Code set standards for onsite subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS), including septic systems; require compliance inspections to ensure compliance with applicable requirements any time there is a change in use of the property being served by an existing SSTS which may impact the performance of the system, or any time the administering department deems appropriate; and authorize the city to take action to prevent, prosecute, restrain, correct, or abate violations or threatened violations. Portions of the unapproved grading activities at the Property occurred over the top of the existing septic system at the Property. A compliance inspection of the SSTS is required to ensure it is properly functioning and in compliance with code requirements. 24. Section 18-31(15) of the City Code deems it a nuisance to throw, dump, or deposit ground soil, sand, stones or other inert material on public or private property, without obtaining a City Council Packet Page Number 334 of 501 J5 permit from the department of public works. All the grass at the Property has been removed and replaced with dirt and class 5 material without a permit. The site needs to be restored to its condition prior to the unpermitted work. After the inspection, on December 10, 2025, staff posted uninhabitable notices on the dwelling and garage at the property. In March 2026, staff inspecting a nearby property saw that the uninhabitable notices had been removed and reposted them. The site did not appear significantly different than it did in December 2025, and to city staff's knowledge, the Property Owner has taken no action, aside from submitting incomplete permit applications in January 2026 to correct or abate any of the above -listed issues. Viewed from public vantage points, the property still appears to be used as a construction yard. Based on these conditions, staff has determined that the Property is hazardous, unsafe, and a public nuisance under state law and the city code. The applicable statutory and city code references are specified in the proposed resolution and attachments. Allowing the Property to remain in its current state presents significant health, safety, and environmental concerns for occupants and surrounding properties. Staff has determined that the only way to effectively abate the dangerous and unlawful conditions at the Property is to initiate abatement proceedings pursuant to state law and the city code. A resolution has been prepared by the city attorney that (i) finds that the Property is both hazardous and a public nuisance; and (ii) authorizes staff and consultants to serve an order on the owner that requires abatement of said conditions within 45 days. Should the owner fail to comply with said order after it is duly served, the city will initiate formal proceedings to request a court order authorizing the city to demolish the Dwelling and Garage and abate the nuisance conditions pursuant to its legal authority to do so. The statutory and city code provisions authorizing abatement proceedings allow for the city to recover enforcement costs related to this action via a special assessment against the Property. The abatement order would address the hazardous buildings and nuisance features of the property. It would not, however, address the use of the site as a construction yard in violation of the zoning code. Such violations are traditionally addressed via separate civil action to obtain a court order stopping the prohibited use. The city attorney has prepared a complaint seeking such relief, along with an injunction requiring the Property Owner to vacate the property until it is rendered habitable and requiring that he obtain proper permits and inspections in order to do any further work at the site. The recommended resolution authorizes the city attorney to institute that civil action as well. If the recommended resolution is adopted, the city attorney's office will work with staff to initiate (1) abatement proceedings with the ultimate goal of abating the conditions that make the Property both hazardous and a public nuisance, including bringing a civil action pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 463 and Maplewood City Code, chapters 18 and 40, and (2) a civil action to stop the violation of the zoning code through the prohibited use of the Property, requiring that the Property be vacated until rendered habitable, and requiring permits and inspections to be obtained before further work is performed. City attorney Ron Batty will be present during the meeting to answer any questions that the city council may have related to this matter. Attachments: 1. Resolution 2.

RESOLUTION ORDERING THE ABATEMENT OF HAZARDOUS BUILDINGS AND PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS AT 1025 CENTURY AVENUE SOUTH AND AUTHORIZING RELATED LEGAL PROCEEDINGS RECITALS WHEREAS, the property located at 1025 Century Avenue South and legally described as Lots 9, 10, and 11, Carver Lots, lying Easterly of Highway 494, Ramsey County, Minnesota (the "Subject Property") contains, among other things, a single-family dwelling (the "Dwelling") and a garage (the "Garage") and is located in the city of Maplewood (the "City"); and WHEREAS, the Subject Property is owned by Lukas James Brown (the "Owner") and, to the best of the City's knowledge, there are no other owners or occupants of the Subject Property; and WHEREAS, on November 25, 2025, pursuant to a duly obtained administrative search warrant, a physical inspection of the Subject Property and the Dwelling and Garage was conducted by the city's building official, deputy building official, assistant community development director, and senior engineering technician during which the following conditions were noted or observed: The Owner neglected to apply for any building permits for any construction and alterations that were performed at the site. 2. Stop work orders were issued to the Owner and were posted on the door of the Dwelling on August 20, 2024, and July 1, 2025. The Owner ignored both stop work notices and removed the postings and continued performing construction without obtaining the proper permits. 3. The alterations that have been made to both the Dwelling and Garage have left the structures in a condition that is considered dangerous to life, health, or safety of the occupants. 4. The Dwelling no longer has any legal bedrooms and is considered an uninhabitable structure because the Owner has removed all the windows from the existing bedrooms. He also removed all the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. 5. The Owner has removed the earth around the Dwelling such that the footings for the existing basement walls do not meet the minimum frost depth requirements. 6. The Dwelling is no longer provided with a legal means of egress because the Owner removed the decks and stairs that served as the main exit from the house. There are doors from the upper level that go out to a platform which no longer goes out to a compliant deck and stair with the proper guard and handrails. What exists is a condition that is considered dangerous to life, health and safety of the occupants. The MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 336 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 door from the lower level does not comply because it is missing a landing and the door does not appear to be the proper width. 7. The Dwelling is no longer provided with the approved address identification. 8. The Owner has removed some walls that appear to be walls that supported the upper floor framing in the Dwelling. The Owner indicated that he provided beam framing; however, this has been covered and it is unknown what has been provided and whether it is capable of supporting the required loads and transferring the resulting loads to the supporting structural elements and foundation. 9. The exterior walls of the Dwelling at the upper covered deck area and other areas throughout the house have been filled in with some type of framing. It is unclear what framing has been provided since these areas are covered. 10. Exterior walls are required to be provided with a weather -resistant exterior wall envelope. Many of the existing walls of the Dwelling do not have any type of exterior finish but rather have either a house wrap that is not approved for exposed use or a roof underlayment which is not an approved water resistive barrier. 11. The Owner indicated that he had modified the opening for the front garage door to increase the height of the opening and the ceiling inside the Garage. This revised framing has been covered, and it is unknown what alterations have been made and whether the roof framing that has been modified are roof trusses or modified rafter framing. It is unclear whether the construction that has been provided is capable of supporting the required design loads. 12. There are questionable gas piping connections in the lower -level utility room of the Dwelling. There appears to be thermoplastic hose that runs from this utility room to the Garage in an underground conduit and it is unclear what this gas line serves in the Garage. This thermoplastic hose is not approved for residential use. 13. The Owner has provided electrical wiring throughout the Dwelling and Garage and within the Subject Property that is very questionable and is in violation of the minimum requirements of the Minnesota Electrical Code. 14. Section 18-31(5) of the City Code deems it a public nuisance to accumulate rubbish debris, and other offensive materials on property. There are piles of dirt, rock, class 5 material, brush, lumber, and logs that need to be removed. 15. Section 18-33(3) of the City Code deems it a public nuisance to store or accumulate explosives, inflammable liquids and other dangerous substances or materials on property. There are four propane tanks, five gas containers, six batteries, and multiple unidentifiable tanks, including one bearing a flammable warning label, on the Subject Property. 16. Section 18-33(6) of the City Code deems it a public nuisance to erect or alter buildings in violation of the City Code, including the Minnesota State Building Code, and other fire ordinances concerning manner and materials of construction. The Dwelling and Garage have been altered in violation of the City Code, including the Minnesota State Building Code, through the unpermitted work described above. MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 337 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 17. Section 18-33(9) of the City Code deems it a public nuisance to permit or maintain the outside storage of items such as but not limited to pails, barrels, lumber, scrap wood, vehicle parts, inoperable machinery, equipment parts, brushes, household furniture, building materials, scrap metal, junk or similar materials. The Subject Property is being used for outside storage of such items. 18. Section 18-33(13) of the City Code deems it a public nuisance to maintain dangerous, unguarded machinery, equipment or other property on private property in a manner that may attract minor children. The Subject Property includes unguarded machinery and equipment that is outdoors and visible from public right-of-way that may attract minor children. 19. Sections 18-33(23), 18-33(26), 36-39 and 44-17 of the City Code deem it a public nuisance to park or store a vehicle, or any part of a vehicle, on grass, unimproved areas, or other areas not consisting of a lawfully installed hard surface. Motor vehicle(s), trailers, boats or motorized recreational vehicle(s) shall not be located on grass, dirt, sand, or landscaping in the front yard setback area of the property. Parking areas shall not be in the street right of way (ROW) or closer than 5 feet from any of the property lines without prior city approval. There are vehicles parked or stored at the Subject Property on areas not consisting of a lawfully installed hard surface. 20. Sections 36-261, 44-4 to 44-6, and 44-101 to 44-102 of the City Code deem it a violation for a property to have vehicles)/equipment that meet one or more of the following criteria, are considered commercial and are not allowed to be stored outside in residential areas: Any defined commercial vehicles)/equipment or any vehicle(s) registered for more than 12,000 lbs., unless an exception has been granted if you have been given prior city approval by special permit. There are three commercial trailers, a compact excavator and a skid -steer loader stored on the Subject Property. 21. Section 18-33(7) of the City Code deems it a nuisance to store a portable on -demand storage unit (POD) on a residential property for more than 60 days. There have been portable storage units at the Subject Property for more than 60 days. 22. Section 18-464 of the City Code prohibits land alteration, including retaining walls, on steep slopes except by permit and with an erosion control plan, and requires stormwater runoff to be directed away from steep slopes. Unpermitted retaining walls made of randomly placed jersey barriers and tree logs have been created throughout the site, including steep slopes, to allow the yard to be leveled out. The exterior grades, including steep slopes, have been greatly disturbed throughout the site and do not meet land alteration standards and stormwater management requirements. 23. Sections 40-161 through 40-351 of the City Code set standards for onsite subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS), including septic systems; require compliance inspections to ensure compliance with applicable requirements any time there is a change in use of the property being served by an existing SSTS which may impact the performance of the system, or any time the administering department deems appropriate; and authorize the city to take action to prevent, prosecute, restrain, correct, or abate violations or threatened violations. Portions of the unapproved grading activities at the Subject Property occurred over the top of the existing septic system at the Subject Property. A compliance inspection of the SSTS is required to MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 338 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 ensure it is properly functioning and in compliance with code requirements. 24. Section 18-31(15) of the City Code deems it a nuisance to throw, dump, or deposit ground soil, sand, stones or other inert material on public or private property, without obtaining a permit from the department of public works. All the grass at the Subject Property has been removed and replaced with dirt and class 5 material without a permit. The site needs to be restored to its condition prior to the unpermitted work. WHEREAS, since the above -mentioned inspection, there have been no permits pulled for the Subject Property that would indicate any improvements to the conditions observed on November 25, 2025; and WHEREAS, in response to the conditions observed on November 25, 2025, City staff posted uninhabitable notices on the Dwelling and Garage on December 10, 2025; and WHEREAS, on March 9, 2026, staff returned to the area for an inspection at a neighboring property, saw that the uninhabitable postings at the Subject Property had been removed, and reposted the Dwelling and Garage; and WHEREAS, on March 9, 2026, staff did not see any significant change to the conditions observed on November 25, 2025; and WHEREAS, the Owner has indicated to staff that he intends to continue using the Subject Property despite the "uninhabitable" postings; and WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, section 463.15, subdivision 3, defines a "hazardous building" as "any building ... which because of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, physical damage, unsanitary condition, or abandonment, constitutes a fire hazard or a hazard to public safety or health"; and WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, section 463.161; section 18-37 of the City Code; and section 40-343 of the City Code authorize the city council to order the owner of any hazardous building or nuisance property within the City to correct or remove said conditions, and to initiate appropriate proceedings to abate code violations or threatened code violations relating to individual sewage disposal systems; and WHEREAS, additionally, Minnesota Rule 1300.0180 expressly requires that unsafe structures "be abated [under] Minnesota Statutes, sections 463.15 to 463.26"; and WHEREAS, based on the information presented, the city council has determined that the condition of the Subject Property, the Dwelling, and the Garage constitutes a hazard and a public nuisance in violation of both state and local law and, therefore, should be abated; and WHEREAS, based on the information presented, the city council has further determined that it is necessary and appropriate for the City to take legal action to stop the prohibited use of the site in violation of the Zoning Code, to require the Owner and any other occupants to vacate the Subject Property until it is rendered habitable, and to require that the Owner obtain proper permits and inspections in order to perform any further work at the Subject Property.

DISTRICT COURT SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT Case Type: Other Civil Court File No.: COMPLAINT Plaintiff City of Maplewood ("City"), for its cause of action against Lukas James Brown and Occupants of 1025 Century Avenue South (collectively "Defendants"), states and alleges as follows: 1. The City is a municipal corporation under the laws of the State of Minnesota located in Ramsey County, Minnesota. 2. Defendant Brown is the record fee owner of the property located at 1025 Century Avenue South (PID No. 132822410014) in the City of Maplewood, Minnesota, legally described as: Lots 9, 10, and 11, Carver Lots, lying Easterly of Highway 494, Ramsey County, Minnesota ("Subject Property"). 3. Defendant Brown resides on the Subject Property. 4. Planning and zoning controls for the Subject Property are governed by the City of Maplewood City Code ("City Code"), and pursuant to the City Code the Subject Property is located in an R-1 residence district (single dwelling). Under the City Code, "[t]he purpose of the R-1, residence district (single dwelling), is to provide for single unit detached dwelling units and directly related complementary uses." City Code § 44-71. 5. Defendant Brown purchased the Subject Property in October of 2023. At the time of the purchase, a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom single family residence was located on the Subject Property, with 1,660 square feet of finished space and a 3-car garage. 6. In 2024, the City began receiving complaints from neighbors and citizens regarding the Subject Property and became aware that Defendant Brown was doing extensive grading and alterations to the site without obtaining proper grading permits and approvals. City staff issued stop work orders to Defendant Brown and posted the orders on the door of the house on two occasions, August 20, 2024, and July 1, 2025. Each time, Defendant Brown ignored the stop work orders, removed the postings, and continued performing work without obtaining proper permits. City staff sent letters and made phone calls to Defendant Brown and received no response. 12 MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 347 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 7. Defendant Brown appeared to be using the site as a construction yard, which is not a permitted use in the R-1 residence district. Google Street View images dated September 2024 indicate that this use was plainly visible from public right-of-way at that time: r 13 MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 348 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 8. On November 12, 2025, the City obtained an administrative search warrant signed by the Honorable Reynaldo Aligada of Ramsey County District Court. On November 25, 2025, a City inspection team consisting of the building official, deputy building official, assistant community development director, and senior engineering technician inspected the Subject Property pursuant to the administrative warrant. The inspection team documented extensive unpermitted and uninspected work that had taken place on the interior and exterior of the house, the garage, and on the land. The building official's comprehensive report of the inspection, dated March 6, 2026, summarized conditions at the Subject Property in part as follows: The condition of the site has been completely changed from a residential lot to what appears to be a contractor yard. Most of the trees have been removed from the site and the remaining trees are dead or will be dead shortly because the base of the tree has been buried with dirt. The grade at the site has been leveled out and the earth around the house has been lowered so the lower level of the house is no longer a basement. To facilitate the leveling out of the grade on the site, various questionable retaining walls have been constructed outside the property limits and appear to be in the MN DOT right-of-way. The yard is filled with storage racks and construction materials. The exterior grades have been greatly disturbed throughout the site and do not meet land alteration standards and stormwater management requirements. The house structure is in a complete state of disrepair and is not considered habitable. 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 restore the structure to a habitable condition. The house structure has been posted as uninhabitable on December 10, 2025. The garage structure has undergone numerous structural alterations, and it is unclear whether the structure is still capable of supporting the required snow and wind loads. There has been extensive electrical wiring performed by the property owner in the garage without obtaining the proper permits and inspections. The electrical wiring in the garage is very questionable. The garage structure has been posted as uninhabitable and hazardous on December 10, 2025. 9. The building official's report includes 211 photos of the home, garage, and land, which plainly demonstrate that the Subject Property is being used for other than the residential and directly complementary purposes permitted by the City Code. Some of these photos, along with the captions included in the building official's report, are reproduced here: 14 MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 349 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 LVMMIIVE Photo 5 — APProximutely 7 feet of earth has been removed from the back of the house Photo 9 — New fence and rack system along Century Ave 15 MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 350 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 Photo 11— Contains of the storage racks Photo 14 —Lumber storage MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 351 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 Phato 16 —Meta) storage container with new concrete A6 Phato 30—Wore construction materials stored in the yard 17 MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 352 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 Phcrto 33 —More construction moteriafs stored behind the house Photo 34 — Construction equipment stored in the yard 18 MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 353 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 < ; 0, { .-Jr t �714 Photo 47 - Some type of rock box structure that has been built along the Century Ave right-of-way 10. As the building official's report notes, City staff posted uninhabitable notices on the house and garage on December 10, 2025. On March 9, 2026, staff returned to the area for an inspection at a neighboring property, saw that the uninhabitable postings at the Subject Property had been removed, and reposted the house and garage. Staff did not see any significant change to the conditions that had been observed on November 25, 2025. 11. In text messages with staff following the reposting, Defendant Brown indicated that he would not be leaving his home, that his goal was to become compliant with what the City wants, and that he had been waiting to hear back about permit applications he had filed. 12. Defendant Brown did submit permit applications on January 6, 2026. City staff notified him, at that time, that the submissions were incomplete and lacked a required construction plan. Defendant Brown indicated he would submit a construction plan, but did not. 13. During the November 12, 2025 inspection, Defendant Brown told staff that he had re -graded the entire site with gravel and a geo-fabric type membrane to maintain a stable base for vehicles. 14. Defendant Brown told City staff that he does not run a business on the Subject Property and that all the material and equipment there is for his personal use only. Defendant Brown said that for work he is a carpenter and builds a lot of decks and other residential -type construction, and that his most recent project was the construction of a pole -barn style building in Hibbing that was completed within the last year. 15. The house, garage, and public nuisances such as outdoor storage on the Subject Property are the subject of an abatement order issued by the City on April 13, 2026, under the hazardous building provision of Minnesota Statutes chapter 463 and City Code provisions for the abatement of nuisances. The City brings this separate action to obtain declaratory and injunctive relief (1) requiring Defendants to vacate the property until the uninhabitable conditions are 19 MA745\66\1085354.vl City Council Packet Page Number 354 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 resolved in accordance with all City Code and other code requirements; (2) preventing a prohibited use on the Subject Property; and (3) requiring Defendants to obtain appropriate permits, including complying with any requirement that unpermitted work previously completed be inspected and approved after any necessary repairs, before conducting any further work at the site. COUNT ONE DECLARATORY JUDGMENT 16. The City re -alleges the allegations contained in the previous paragraphs. 17. An actual controversy exists between the parties concerning their respective rights and interests in the enforcement of the City Code as applied to the Subject Property pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 555.01, et seq., the Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act. 18. The City seeks a declaratory judgment from the Court that Defendants must vacate the Subject Property until the uninhabitable conditions are resolved in accordance with all City Code and other code requirements; that Defendants' use of the property as a construction yard and for any other purpose not allowed under the City Code is prohibited; and that Defendants must obtain appropriate permits, including complying with any requirement that unpermitted work previously completed be inspected and approved after any necessary repairs, before conducting any further work at the site. COUNT TWO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 19. The City re -alleges the allegations contained in the previous paragraphs. 20. Defendants' blatant and ongoing violations of the City Code and direct orders to vacate the Subject Property constitute clear and irreparable harm to the City's governing authority. 21. The City does not have an adequate remedy at law to correct the violations by the Defendants on the Subject Property. 22. The City seeks temporary and permanent injunctive relief from the Court ordering Defendants to vacate the Subject Property until the uninhabitable conditions are resolved in accordance with all City Code and other code requirements; prohibiting Defendants' use of the property as a construction yard and for any other purpose not allowed under the City Code; and requiring Defendants to obtain appropriate permits, including complying with any requirement that unpermitted work previously completed be inspected and approved after any necessary repairs, before conducting any further work at the site. 23. In addition, the City seeks an order from the Court prohibiting Defendants from allowing the same or similar violations to exist on the Subject Property in the future. WHEREFORE, the City respectfully requests relief as follows: a. A declaration that Defendants must vacate the Subject Property until the uninhabitable conditions are resolved in accordance with all City Code and other code requirements; that Defendants' use of the property as a construction yard and for any other purpose not allowed under the City Code is prohibited; and that Defendants must obtain appropriate permits, including complying with any requirement that unpermitted work previously 20 MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 355 of 501 J5, Attachment 1 completed be inspected and approved after any necessary repairs, before conducting any further work at the site. b. A temporary and permanent injunction ordering Defendants to vacate the Subject Property until the uninhabitable conditions are resolved in accordance with all City Code and other code requirements; prohibiting Defendants' use of the property as a construction yard and for any other purpose not allowed under the City Code; and requiring Defendants to obtain appropriate permits, including complying with any requirement that unpermitted work previously completed be inspected and approved after any necessary repairs, before conducting any further work at the site. e. An order awarding the City its costs, disbursements, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with this action against Defendants. Granting such other relief as the Court deems just and equitable. Dated , 2026 KENNEDY & GRAVEN, CHARTERED By: Zachary T.

Zachary T. Brennan DesAutels 21 MA745\66\1085354.v1 City Council Packet Page Number 356 of 501 J5, Attachment 2 1025 Century Ave S Inspection Report Date of Inspection: Tuesday, November 25, 2025 Inspection Team: Randy Johnson — Building Official Michael Martin — Assistant Community Development Director John DuCharme —Senior Engineering Technician Dan Lentz — Deputy Building Official Reportby: Randy Johnson —Building Official Summary Statement: The site is in violation of several city property maintenance codes and zoning standards. These violations include health and safety hazards such as accumulation of rubbish, hazardous materials, dangerous machinery, and unprotected excavations. The site contains structural and land -use issues, including unsafe or deteriorated buildings, unpermitted commercial activities, and prohibited home occupations in residential districts. Outdoor storage of junk materials, scrap items, and portable storage units is not permitted under the city code. The city code also restricts parking on grass or within required setbacks, storing commercial vehicles in residential areas, and keeping abandoned or inoperable vehicles. The condition of the site has been completely changed from a residential lot to what appears to be a contractor yard. Most of the trees have been removed from the site and the remaining trees are dead or will be dead shortly because the base of the trees have been buried with dirt. The grade at the site has been leveled out and the earth around the house has been lowered so the lower level of the house is no longer a basement. To facilitate the leveling out of the grade on the site, various questionable retaining walls have been created by jersey blocks and tree logs. Many of these retaining walls have been constructed outside the property limits and appear to be in the MNDOT right-of-way. The yard is filled with storage racks and construction materials. The exterior grades have been greatly disturbed throughout the site and do not meet the land alteration standards and stormwater management requirements. The house structure is in a complete state of disrepair and is not considered habitable. 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 restore the structure to a habitable condition. The house structure has been posted as unsafe and uninhabitable on December 10, 2025. The garage structure has undergone numerous structural alterations, and it is unclear whether the structure is still capable of supporting the required snow and wind loads. There has been extensive electrical wiring performed by the property owner in the garage without obtaining the proper permits City Council Packet Page Number 357 of 501 J5, Attachment 2 and inspections. The electrical wiring in the garage is very questionable. The garage structure has been posted as unsafe and uninhabitable on December 10, 2025. Any condition that endangers public health, safety, or comfort is considered a nuisance under City Code and Minnesota law. Historical Background: This property was purchased by the current owner, Lukas James Brown, on October 13, 2023, according to the Ramsey County Property Records. We have received multiple complaints from neighbors and citizens regarding the continued deterioration and condition of this property starting in 2024. The current property owner has been doing extensive grading and alterations to the site without obtaining the proper grading permits and approvals. The site appears to be used as a construction yard. They have also made major changes to the existing house and garage structures on this site without obtaining the proper building permits and inspections. Stop work orders were issued to the property owner and were posted on the door of house on August 20, 2024, and on July 1, 2025. The property owner ignored both stop work notices and removed the postings and continued performing construction without obtaining the proper permits. We have issued multiple stop work orders and sent letters and made phone calls with no response from the owner. On November 12, 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 structures. City Council Packet Page Number 358 of 501 J5, Attachment 2 Observations: On the morning of November 25, 2025, the inspection team comprising of Randy Johnson, Michael Martin, John DuCharme, and Dan Lentz for the City of Maplewood, along with members of the Police Department entered the property at 1025 Century Ave S. The Police Department made initial contact with the property owner and secured the property prior to the arrival of the inspection team. When we arrived at the property, the property owner was available to answer many of our questions. The obserations section of this report will be separated into the following subsections to address the main areas of concern: - Site - Grading issues - House structure - Garage structure - Additional electrical issues Also, throughout the observations section, many photos have been taken showing the current condition of the property. Also included are photos showing the condition of the property when it was listed for sale in 2023 which would have been just prior to the current property owner taking possession. The aerial photographs were obtained from Nearmap.com and the photographs obtained from Realtor.com and Zillow.com.

We did not gain entry to this storage container. - There is a new fence and storage rack system that was constructed along the Century Ave side of the property. It appears that there were materials for additional fencing and racks to be constructed to the north. - There is an electrical box on the MNDOT right-of-way that appears to be surrounded by earth. - There was a trailer with several jersey barriers that appear to be for this site. - There were boards placed adjacent to the MNDOT concrete sound wall structure and there is earth place against these boards. - The depth is estimated to be 8 to 10 feet of soil. - The boards are nailed to the soundwall plank and are imposing lateral loads on the wall - There are piles of class 5 and rock that are stockpiled near the MNDOT soundwall. - There are old tires, wheels, axles, engines, trailers, and other items scattered throughout City Council Packet Page Number 360 of 501 J5, Attachment 2 - There is a dump trailer with partial burnt materials in the trailer - There are signs of an underground septic tank. - The property owner stated that he replaced the main sewer piping from the house to the septic tank with PVC piping and Fernco type fittings.

Initially Xcel Energy indicated that there has been no request to relocate the gas meter however after further investigation, it appears that Xcel Energy did relocated the gas meter and provided the piping up to the meter. - The gas piping after the meter was provided by the property owner and looks very questionable - With the adjustment of the grade around the house, the electrical meter is at the upper floor and is too high to be read and serviced. - According to Xcel Energy, they issued the property owner a correction order regarding this issue on November 19, 2025 - Xcel Energy also indicated that the property owner requested and upgrade from a 200 amp service to a 3 phase 400 amp service in 2024. He told them that he was planning on putting on solar panels. No permits or inspections were obtained for electrical service upgrade. - All the windows in the bedrooms have been removed and are closed up - The existing house had a covered deck with windows that had been totally enclosed with walls. - This deck area was converted into a storage room for construction materials. - The existing openings in the previous exterior wall were filled in and sheetrocked over with what appears to be new sheetrock and tape. - There is only one usable entrance door to gain access to the house, and this door does not have a proper landing or stair but rather a metal grate ramp that does not meet code. - The door goes into a hallway that appears to be newly constructed and sheetrocked. - There are headroom issues within this hallway. - At the end of this hallway there was what appeared to be a commercial ice maker that was built into the wall. - The electrical throughout the house was very questionable. - Open junction boxes, spliced wires that were not in electrical boxes, wires hanging from the ceiling that were plugged into outlets, extension cords stapled to the walls and ceilings running throughout, light fixtures hanging from the wires from the ceiling, open junction boxes with exposed wires, there were what appeared to be extension cords running from the outside through the exterior walls and were plugged into the interior wall outlets which appears to be for cameras and/or lights in the exterior of the building. - There appears to be some bearing walls that have been removed. - The owner claims that he provided beam framing above the ceiling where the wall was removed. - Bathroom in the main level had the shower mixing valve removed - The toilet at the main level had what appeared to be a bidet attachment. City Council Packet Page Number 403 of 501 J5, Attachment 2 - The exterior window in the main level bathroom was boarded over. - The main level room that is being used as a bedroom did not have an egress window or smoke detectors. - This room also had exposed studs that appeared to be new closets. - There appeared to be new sheetrock and taped joints.

Building Code violations: The following items are violations of the referenced building code sections that have been identified at this site: a) Minnesota Rules 1300.0120 and 1300.0140 - The property owner neglected to apply for any building permits for any construction and alterations that were performed at the site. b) Minnesota Rule 1300.0170 - Stop work orders were issued to the property owner and were posted on the door of house on August 20, 2024 and July 1, 2025. The property owner ignored both stop work notices and removed the postings and continued performing construction without obtaining the proper permits c) Minnesota Rule 1300.0180 The alterations that have been made to both the house and garage structures have left the structures in a condition that is considered dangerous to life, health, or safety of the occu pa nts. d) IRC Sections R202, R303, R310, R314, R315 - The house structure no longer has any legal bedrooms and the house is considered as uninhabitable structure because the property owner has removed all the windows from the existing bedrooms. He also removed all the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. e) Minnesota Rule 1303.1600 and IRC Section R403.1.4 - The property owner has removed the earth around the house such that the footings for the existing basement walls do not meet the minimum frost depth requirements. f) IRC Section R311 and R312 - The house structure is no longer provided with a legal means of egress because the property owner removed the decks and stairs that served as the main exit from the house. There are doors from the upper level that go out to a platform which no longer goes out to a compliant deck and stair with the proper guard and handrails. What exists is a condition that is considered dangerous to life, health and safety of the occupants. The door from the lower level does not comply because it is missing a landing and the door does not appear to be the proper width. g) IRC Section R319 The house structure is no longer provided with the approved address identification. h) IRC Section R502 - The property owner has removed some walls that appear to be walls that supported the upper floor framing. The property owner indicated that he provided beam framing, however this has been covered and it is unknown what has been provided and whether it is capable of supporting the required loads and transferring the resulting loads to the supporting structural elements and foundation. i) IRC Section R602 - The exterior walls at the upper covered deck area and other areas throughout the house have been filled in with some type of framing. It is unclear what framing has been provided since these areas are covered. City Council Packet Page Number 499 of 501 J5, Attachment 2 j) IRC Section R703 - Exterior walls are required to be provided with a weather -resistant exterior wall envelope. Many of the existing walls do not have any type of exterior finish but rather have either a house wrap that is not approved for exposed use or a roof underlayment which is not an approved water resistive barrier. k) IRC Section R802 - The property owner indicated that he had modified the opening for the front garage door to increase the height of the opening and the ceiling inside the garage. This revised framing has been covered, and it is unknown what alterations have been made and whether the roof framing that has been modified are roof trusses or modified rafter framing. It is unclear whether the construction that has been provided is capable of supporting the required design loads. 1) IFGC Section 401, 402, 403, 404 - There are questionable gas piping connections in the lower -level utility room of the house. There appears to be thermoplastic hose that runs from this utility room to the garage in an underground conduit and it is unclear what this gas line serves in the garage. This thermoplastic hose is not approved for residential use. m) Minnesota Statute 32613.35, Minnesota Rule 1315, 2023 NEC - The property owner has provided electrical wiring throughout each of the buildings and within the site that is very questionable and is in violation with the minimum requirements of the Minnesota Electrical Code. 4.
