The application is being submitted for congestion management strategies as part of their regional solicitation program. If awarded, the project is planned for 2031. Council Packet Page Number 18 of 210 F5 County Highway 18, located immediately south of Maplewood, is a key east-west road.The roadway pavement has deteriorated and requires rehabilitation. In addition, this corridor lacks continuous pedestrian facilities and experiences operational challenges that affect traffic operations. The proposed project would improve the road and improve access and mobility. The former Bailey Nurseries property, encompassing approximately 300 acres within the cities of Woodbury, Newport, and Maplewood, is located adjacent to this segment of County Highway 18. The property is planned for a large mixed-use development, with construction of roads and utilities anticipated to begin in 2026. With this development, traffic volumes and transportation demand along County Highway 18 are expected to increase, underscoring the need for the proposed corridor improvements. Next Steps: Staff will present joint powers agreements for city council’s consideration related to public roads and utilities associated with the Bailey Nurseries developments in Newport and Woodbury. These agreements will help coordinate the construction of public infrastructure necessary to support future development within the Maplewood portion of the Bailey Nurseries property. The latest development concept layouts are attached for council reference.

County Highway 18 (Bailey Rd) is a critical east-west arterial serving regional traffic, providing access to destinations including schools, parks, athletic facilities, and growing residential and business areas, while serving as a key corridor for economic development in the region. The segment of Highway 18 between Interstate-494 and Woodlane Drive suffers from a deteriorating pavement section, a lack of pedestrian facilities, minimalshoulders, and poor vehicular operations. This same area has a 300-acre mixed use development anticipated to break ground as early as the summer of 2026 further increasing the need for safety and mobility improvements on Highway 18 to meet existing and future demand. The improvements planned for this corridor will deliver meaningful, lasting benefits to the City of Maplewood, localresidents and businesses, and the broader region.

This is an annual requirement by the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. Historically, the city has elected to not waive the limits in order to reduce the city’s liability. Recommended Action: Motion to approve the resolution to not waive the statutory tort liability limits. 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 Sustainability Maintain strong financial health and stability Development By approving the statutory tort liability limits, the city is protected from claims that exceed the amount of liability insurance coverage. Background: Cities obtaining liability coverage from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust must decide whether or not to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision to waive or not to waive the statutory limits has the following effects: 1.If the city does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to recover no more than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the Council Packet Page Number 36 of 210 G3 statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000. These statutory tort limits would apply regardless of whether or not the city purchases the optional excess liability coverage. 2.If the city waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover up to $2,000,000 for a single occurrence. (Under this option, the tort cap liability limits are waived to the extent of the member's liability coverage limits, and the LMCIT per occurrence limit is $2 million.) The total all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless of the number of claimants. 3.If the city waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the number of claimants. Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.

Recommended Action: Motion to approve the Climate Mitigation Plan. 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 Foster community engagement and support resident well-being Sustainability Advance environmental stewardship initiatives Development The CMP planning process was collaborative, rooted in a multi-stakeholder planning team. The plan focuses on transportation and land use, buildings and energy, and waste management, providing a clear roadmap to advance sustainability and strengthen long-term community resilience. Background: The city first adopted GHG reduction goals in its 2040 Comprehensive Plan, aligned with Minnesota’s climate targets at the time. Since then, updated science-based goals adopted by the State of Minnesota, Metropolitan Council, and Ramsey County call for net-zero emissions by 2050. Council Packet Page Number 45 of 210 J1 A CMP is the critical and final piece needed in the city’s climate resilience planningand will address a key implementation strategy of the city’s Climate Adaptation Plan. The CMP will provide a roadmap for achieving meaningful emission reductions through 2036 in support of that long-term vision. Process The City of Maplewood has hired climate and energy consultant paleBluedot LLC to assist in creating a CMP. Phase one of the project took place in 2023 when the city conducted climate mitigation education and outreach at various events. The outreach included creating a climate mitigation survey. During the second phase of the project paleBluedot LLC assisted the city in the following: Analyze greenhouse gas emissions Recommend greenhouse gas emission reduction targets Forecast greenhouse gas emission reductions Organize a collaborative, multi-stakeholder planning team Draft climate mitigation plan Phase three began in 2024 with the formation of a voluntary CMP team composed of residents, business owners, and representatives from city commissions and boards. The original team included 22 members who worked collaboratively to draft goals and actions aimed at reducing GHG emissions across city operations and the community. Last year, the CMP process was paused while the city council updated the city’s strategic priorities. This pause ensured that the draft goals and actions developed through the team’s collaborative work aligned with the newly established priorities. The intent was to focus energy and resources effectively, strengthen internal operations, and ensure that employees and stakeholders were working toward shared objectives that support the city’s long-term strategic direction. Once the strategic priorities were approved, city staff and paleBluedot LLC completed an in-depth review of the draft goals and actions and incorporated them into a full CMP. The draft plan was previously reviewed for input in January 2026 by the CMP team and in March 2026 by the Environmental & Natural Resources (ENR) Commission, Parks & Recreation Commission, and the city council. In addition, the draft plan was made available for public review through April 1, 2026. The final plan reflects the input received during the draft plan review, including the addition of the following actions: 1. Establish or increase the availability of shared electric mobility options for improved mobility and transit last mile; 2. Encourage and promote ideas for businesses to support alternative employee commuting; 3. Establish a coordinated ongoing communication campaign supporting the educational and promotional needs of the plan, including resident and business "what you can do" content; and 4. Collaborate with Ramsey County, other communities, and the Metropolitan Council to coordinate climate action implementation and explore joint project opportunities. Council Packet Page Number 46 of 210 J1 Final Plan The ENR Commission reviewed and recommended approval of the final CMP during their May 13, 2026, meeting. The plan guides both city operations and community-wide climate action and addresses three sectors of GHG emission reductions, including: Transportation and Land Use – enhancing the resilience of Maplewood’s mobility while reducing GHG emissions and environmental impacts of transportation and land use. Buildings and Energy – Reducing building-related GHG emissions and enhancing resilience by improving efficiency, using renewable energy, and reducing on-site combustion. Waste Management – Minimizing GHG emissions by increasing recycling, material reuse, organics collection, and waste reduction. Each sector is presented with goals and strategies, supported by actions and partnership opportunities for implementation. Implementation of the CMP will be integrated into Maplewood’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) process, which is updated annually to ensure it remains responsive to evolving priorities, regulatory requirements, funding opportunities, and available resources. Next Steps Once the plan is adopted, the city will develop annual implementation plans to: Identify annual priority actions Outline needed resources Identify grant and funding sources Recommend CIP projects for council consideration Establish a communication campaign supporting plan Explore collaboration opportunities with the county and other cities Review and report on progress annually Attachments: 1.

A comprehensive operational and facility needs study will help guide decisions on improvements and investments for public works facilities and operations now and into the future. Recommended Action: Motion to approve the professional services agreement with Kraus-Anderson Advisory Services for a public works operational and facility study and direct the mayor and the 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 $29,500 Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: The total cost for the proposed Professional Services Agreement with Kraus-Anderson Advisory Services is $29,500. Funded through the building operations fund. Strategic Plan Relevance: SafetyMaintain and enhance infrastructure and environmental systems Sustainability Development Ensuring that public works facilities meet the department’s needs helps staff deliver high-quality services to the public. Background: Public Works exists to serve the community of Maplewood. City staff prepared a request for proposals (RFP) to conduct an operational and facility study for the public works department. The study and preliminary design concepts will reflect current and future trends in equipment and services, be aligned with the city’s strategic and financial priorities, and be built on our core pillars: Council Packet Page Number 103 of 210 J2 Exceptional service A culture that supports and empowers people Strong relationships The public works department currently operates out of the three facilities which were built between 1978 and 1988: Primary public works building o 1902 County Road B East o Built in 1979 Park maintenance garage o 1810 County Road B East o Built in 1988 Nature center th o 2659 7 Street East o Built in 1978 A study of public works operations and facilities provides valuable insights into the efficiency, effectiveness, and long-term sustainability of essential public services. For facilities built between 1978 and 1988, such a study is especially beneficial because many building systems, infrastructure components, and space layouts may be approaching or exceeding their intended service life. Evaluating these aging facilities helps identify maintenance needs, modernization opportunities, safety concerns, and capacity limitations. The study also supports informed decision-making regarding capital investments, ensuring public resources are used responsibly while maintaining reliable services that meet current and future community needs. The RFP was sent to six architectural firms with a strong history of performing these types of studies and designing public works facilities in the metro area. Five responses were received, with costs ranging between $15,560 and $37,350. Oertel Architects$15,560 Wold Architects & Engineers$16,000 Kraus-Anderson Advisory Services $29,500 Kodet Architectural Group$36,700 Brunton$37,350 Staff conducted interviews with the five firms to learn more about their experience, the project team, their approach to this type of study, staff engagement, and overall understanding of the RFP. The Kraus-Anderson Advisory Services team was selected based on their experience with municipal and public works facilities throughout the metro area, their knowledge of public works operations, and their understanding of current market construction costs. The total cost for the proposed study by Kraus-Anderson Advisory Services is $29,500. Funding for the proposed study will be through the building operations budget. Work on the study will take place over the summer, and completion is expected by September 2026.

The city council approved the conditional use permit for this project in 2022. As part of those approvals, the applicant was authorized to use a temporary parking lot on the north side of its campus for constructing parking and staging. As the construction project enters its final stages, the applicant is seeking to make this temporary parking lot a permanent feature of the campus. Recommended Action: Motion to approve a resolution for a conditional use permit amendment allowing Saint Paul Regional Water Services to convert a temporary parking lot into a permanent parking lot as part of its improvements to the McCarrons Water Treatment Plant at 1900 Rice Street North. 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 Maintain and enhance infrastructure and environmental systems Sustainability Development Saint Paul Regional Water Services is investing in its treatment plant in Maplewood to continue providing clean, safe drinking water for Maplewood and other area cities. Council Packet Page Number 111 of 210 J3 Background: Conditional Use Permit Amendment Saint Paul Regional Water Services requests approval of a conditional use permit amendment to allow the continued use of a previously temporary paved parking lot at the McCarron’s Water Treatment Plant as a permanent lot for its operational parking and storage area. The lot is located on the north side of its campus and was constructed in 2022 for temporary construction parking. The lot will continue to maintain access from Roselawn Avenue. The applicant proposes to continue using the 24,972-square-foot paved area with no expansion of the footprint. The applicant will be required to meet the city’s parking lot requirements, including adding curbing and accounting for parking lots in the campus stormwater management requirements. The lot will support the applicant’s fleet and utility operations and will not be open to the public. Use is limited to the storage of pickup trucks, vans, trailers, mobile generators, and other operational equipment used intermittently in the regional water system. In addition, no routine repair, fueling, maintenance, or processing activities will occur within this area. The lot will typically be accessed between 6:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with occasional after-hours access for emergency situations. Access to the lot will be controlled by the plant’s internal gated circulation system, and the Roselawn Avenue entrance will remain locked with a rolling chain-link gate. Existing and planned screening and landscaping for this area of the campus will remain in place. Overall Project Update The conditional use permit for this project was last reviewed by the city council on April 14, 2025. The project is now in its second construction phase. This phase of construction primarily consists of demolishing decommissioned infrastructure, constructing a new water-quality laboratory within an existing facility, and completing final sitework. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. Staff do not have concerns about the project’s progress. Department Comments Engineering Jon Jarosch reviewed the project and had the following comment: the parking lot area shall be accounted for in stormwater-quality volume-reduction calculations. The applicant shall verify whether the area of this parking lot was previously included in volume-reduction calculations for the overall project. If volume reduction for this area was not previously accounted for, additional volume reduction best management practices will be required to satisfy City of Maplewood and Capitol Regions Watershed District stormwater management requirements. Stormwater calculations shall be provided to verify compliance with stormwater management requirements. This requirement is included in the attached resolution.

The lot will be used as a satellite storage area for SPRWS-owned vehicles, trailers, and utility equipment that are not used on a regular daily basis but are needed to operate, maintain, and respond to needs within the regional water system. Stored vehicles and equipment may include pickup trucks, vans, trailers, and mobile generators mounted on trailers. The lot will not be open to the public and is not intended for retail activity, customer traffic, or commercial use. Access will be limited to SPRWS staff and authorized personnel. The primary use of the lot will be storage. Access is expected to be occasional and intermittent, generally limited to the retrieval or return of vehicles and equipment. Access is expected to occur during normal SPRWS fleet staff working hours, generally 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Access outside of those hours is not expected as part of normal operations, but may occur if needed for emergency or urgent water utility response, such as a significant water main break or similar system need. Retaining the existing paved lot avoids unnecessary demolition and associated construction impacts, including noise, dust, hauling, and temporary staging. It also avoids avoidable public cost by maintaining an existing operational asset rather than removing and later re-establishing comparable parking and staging capacity to support ongoing utility operations and future capital maintenance and improvement work. Existing Conditions and Proposed Use The paved lot was constructed in 2022 as a temporary construction parking lot to keep the existing asphalt surface in place for long-term operational use. The paved area is approximately 24,972 square feet. No expansion of the paved footprint is proposed. Council Packet Page Number 121 of 210 Attachment 5 The proposed use is limited to parking, storage, and staging of SPRWS-owned vehicles, trailers, and utility equipment. No routine repair, fueling, maintenance, material processing, commercial activity, or public parking is proposed for the lot. Access, Hours, and Security circulation and secured access points. The Roselawn Avenue access point will be controlled by a locked rolling chain-link fence gate. Access is expected to be occasional and intermittent, generally during normal SPRWS fleet staff working hours of approximately 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Access outside those hours may occur when needed for emergency or urgent water utility response. The lot is not intended to function as a high-turnover parking area and is not expected to generate regular customer traffic, public access, or frequent vehicle movements. Existing light poles will remain. No new lighting is proposed as part of this request. Screening and Site Appearance Existing fence screening along the east side of the lot is already in place and will be retained. The screening helps reduce visibility of the parking and storage area from adjacent residential properties and supports compatibility with the surrounding area. SPRWS will maintain the lot in a clean and orderly condition. Vehicles, trailers, and equipment will be stored in designated paved areas and managed as part of normal utility operations. Stormwater and Drainage An existing ridge divides drainage into two areas, approximately 11,320 square feet draining north toward Roselawn Avenue and approximately 13,650 square feet draining south toward on-site ponds. The request does not include regrading or changes to existing drainage patterns. SPRWS will comply with applicable stormwater requirements and will implement any required pretreatment measures or other best management practices for the north-side discharge as required through City and Watershed review and applicable standards. Council Packet Page Number 122 of 210 Attachment 5 Conditional Use Permit Criteria Criterion 1: The use would be located, designed, maintained, constructed, and operated in conformity with the City's comprehensive plan and Code of Ordinances. The proposed use is a municipal utility operational function on an established public utility campus. The existing paved area will be maintained and operated consistent with identified through City review will be completed. Criterion 2: The use would not change the existing or planned character of the surrounding area. The request formalizes a low-intensity storage and parking use on an existing utility campus. The use does not introduce new public-facing activity, commercial operations, or expanded site intensity. The lot will function primarily as secured storage for SPRWS- owned vehicles and equipment that are not used on a regular daily basis. Existing east- side fence screening will be retained. Criterion 3: The use would not depreciate property values. The orderly parking and storage of municipal utility assets on a secured, screened, and maintained site is not expected to negatively affect surrounding property values. The proposed use continues an existing paved condition and does not expand the developed footprint. Criterion 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, smoke, dust, odor, fumes, water or air pollution, drainage water run- off, vibration, general unsightliness, electrical interference, or other nuisances. The lot will be used for parking and storage only. No routine repair, fueling, maintenance, material processing, or overnight idling is proposed on the lot. Activity will be limited to occasional and intermittent movement of SPRWS vehicles, trailers, and equipment. Access is expected during normal fleet staff working hours, generally 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Access outside those hours may occur when needed for emergency or urgent utility response, such as a significant water main break or similar system need. Operations will be managed to avoid nuisance conditions such as excessive noise, glare, dust, fumes, or other disturbances. Criterion 5: The use would generate only minimal vehicular traffic on local streets and would not create traffic congestion or unsafe access on existing or proposed streets. The lot is intended for storage rather than a high-turnover parking use. Trips will be limited to staff and operational needs, with occasional and intermittent movement of pickups, vans, box trucks, trailers, mobile generators, and similar utility equipment. The Council Packet Page Number 123 of 210 Attachment 5 use will rely on existing internal plant circulation and secured access points and is not expected to create congestion or unsafe access conditions. Criterion 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. The site is already served by adequate public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, and existing utility and drainage infrastructure. The proposed use does not create additional demand for schools or parks. Criterion 7: The use would not create excessive additional costs for public facilities or services. Because the lot already exists and the proposed use is limited to storage with occasional and intermittent staff access, the proposal will not create excessive additional costs for public facilities or services. Retaining the existing paved lot also avoids avoidable public cost associated with demolition now and potential re-establishment of comparable parking and staging capacity later to support ongoing utility operations and future capital maintenance and improvement work. Criterion 8: The use would maximize the preservation of and incorporate the site's natural and scenic features into the development design. The request relies on an existing developed paved area and does not expand into undisturbed portions of the site. Existing vegetation and screening will be preserved where feasible. Existing fence screening on the east side of the lot will be retained to help maintain compatibility with adjacent properties. Criterion 9: The use would cause minimal adverse environmental effects. No expansion of the paved footprint is proposed. The proposed use does not introduce new industrial processes, emissions, or discharges. Stormwater has been reviewed by CRWD under Permit #22-012 and is being addressed through the appropriate engineering review process. The lot will be operated as a secured storage area with limited staff access and no routine fueling, maintenance, or overnight idling proposed on site. For these reasons, SPRWS respectfully requests approval of this Conditional Use Permit amendment to allow continued use of the existing on-campus parking lot as a permanent operations parking and storage area in support of essential public water utility operations.

The City approved improvements to the main campus in 2022 which required significant demolition work and the removal of many trees. The updated environmental review includes details from the original project and conditions which still need to be met with the 2022 and 2026 projects. 1.Trees a.Tree Preservation Ordinance: The goal of the Maplewood tree preservation ordinance is to protect, preserve, and enhance the trees and woodlands of Maplewood. It encourages a resourceful and prudent approach to development in the City. Applicants requesting a land use permit must submit a tree preservation plan. The plan must show all significant trees on the site, and those being removed. A significant tree is defined as a 6-inch hardwood, 8-inch conifer, and 12-inch softwood. Preservation of specimen trees is encouraged. A specimen tree is any healthy tree that is 28 caliper inches or larger. The ordinance outlines tree replacement based on the number and size of trees on the site, versus the number and size of trees being removed. b.Tree Impacts: There were 1,292 significant trees, equaling 19,980 diameter inches, located on SPRWS property (main campus and the Sandy Lake site). The applicants removed 384 significant trees, equaling 6,626 diameter inches from the main campus site (33 percent tree removal). Included in the tree removal were 35 specimen trees (trees which are 28 caliper inches or larger) and eight large oak trees. Most of the specimen and oak trees proposed to be removed are located in the excavated materials stockpile area and temporary road way located on the east side of the property. The tree replacement calculation required 1,193 caliper inches of replacement trees. 1 Council Packet Page Number 140 of 210 Attachment 10 c.Tree Replacement: The applicants’ tree preservation plan outlined 236 new trees, which equals 507 caliper inches of replacement trees. This is 686 caliper inches less than City code requires. The applicant must modify the tree removal and planting plan to meet City code, or pay into the City’s tree fund at a rate of $60 per caliper inch of tree that cannot be replaced on site. The current plan would require the applicant to pay $41,160 into the City’s tree fund. d.Tree Preservation Recommendations: 1)Prior to release of the escrow, the applicant must submit a revised tree plan for staff approval with the following changes: a)Increase the diversity of tree species planted. Not more than 30 percent of replacement trees may be the same species. Refer to USDA Recommended Minnesota Native or Recommended New Habitat Climate Resiliant Tree Species for recommended replacement tree species. b)Reduce the number of spruce and maple tree species included on landscape plan December 16, 2025. Suggested alternatives include: a.Red Maple Alternatives - hackberry, swamp white oak, bur oak, ironwood, black cherry, northern red oak, shagbark hickory, northern pin oak. b.White Spruce Alternatives - Firs or pines such as jack pine, red pine, balsam fir, concolor fir. 2.Overall Landscaping Review of the landscape plan to ensure nonnative or invasive species are avoided, and that the landscaping meets the City ordinance and guidelines. a.Landscape Recommendations 1)Prior to release of the escrow, the applicant must submit a revised landscape plan for staff approval showing: a)Details on the type of seed mixtures for the pollinator grass and low maintenance seed mixes. b)Update the landscape plan dated December 16, 2025, to ensure the common and scientific name columns reflect the correct names. 3.Infiltration Basins All infiltration basins are required to be planted, ideally with deep-rooted native plants. The City requires a portion of the basin to be planted rather than seeded; typically a 2 Council Packet Page Number 141 of 210 Attachment 10 minimum of 5,000 square feet of plantings are required on large basins. Using plants rather than seeds hastens establishment and provides a better chance of successful establishment. Basin bottoms and lower elevations almost never establish successfully from seed since the seed is washed away when stormwater flows into the basin. a.Infiltration Basin Recommendations. 1)Prior to release of the escrow, the applicant must submit an infiltration basin plan for staff approval showing: a)A landscape drawing for each infiltration basin, including list of species, container size, spacing, and quantities. b)If proposing seeding the bottom of the basins, provide explanation of measures that will be taken to ensure seed does not wash away. c)For any area using a native seed mix (ex: pond slopes), provide information on maintenance for planting year, Year 2 and Year 3, addressing what maintenance activities will be required and what entity (developer, owner, etc.) will take on this responsibility. 3 Council Packet Page Number 142 of 210 Attachment 11 DRAFT MINUTES MAPLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION 7:00 P.M.

Construction has not yet begun, and the applicant proposes reducing the building's size from 3,196 to 1,224 square feet. To move forward with the proposal, the applicant requests approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) amendment and design review amendment. Findings of Fact Staff has prepared resolutions recommending approval. If the city council amends or rejects the recommended motion(s), it must state the reasons for that decision based on the standards and required findings outlined in the resolution. The council must direct staff to draft a resolution reflecting its decision and supporting findings. Staff will return with the draft resolution for the city council’s consideration at a future meeting. Recommended Action: a.Motion to approve a conditional use permit amendment resolution for constructing a training facility at 2621 Linwood Avenue East, subject to certain conditions of approval. b.Motion to approve a design review amendment resolution for constructing a training facility at 2621 Linwood Avenue East, subject to certain conditions of approval.

No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0 Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: NA Strategic Plan Relevance: SafetyStrengthen regulations and code compliance Council Packet Page Number 152 of 210 Sustainability Advance environmental stewardship initiatives Development The rebuilt classroom training facility will include safety and accessibility upgrades. On the exterior, the wetland buffer will be improved with permeable paver stormwater systems, native plantings, and the removal of invasive species. Background: The City of Saint Paul Police Department proposes rebuilding its classroom training facility at 2621 Linwood Avenue East. Ramsey County owns the property, and the City of Saint Paul has leased the property since the mid-1960’s for its police department’s outdoor firearms training. The revised plans show a smaller classroom training facility will be located at the same site previously reviewed in 2025. The facility will have an office area for five staff members, an armory, a locker area, a kitchenette, and ADA-compliant restrooms. With a smaller footprint, the roofline has changed slightly, but the building materials remain the same. Conditional Use Permit Amendment Maplewood city code requires a conditional use permit (CUP) for public service or public building uses. When the Saint Paul Police Department began leasing the site from Ramsey County, a CUP was not required by city ordinance. The applicant proposes a new building, and a CUP is required to comply with the city ordinance. Minnesota statute 87A, the Shooting Range Protection Act, adopted in 2005, added protections for existing shooting ranges and limits the city’s ability to regulate the use and operation. Existing Conditional Use Permit The city council approved a conditional use permit (CUP) on June 23, 2025, for a 3,196 square foot building to be built at 2621 Linwood Avenue. When the city council approves a CUP, it must review the request within one year; if construction has not started within that time, the CUP shall become null and void. The council can grant an extension, but the applicant must submit a written request 30 days before the one-year approval date. Staff sent an email on April 7, 2026, reminding the applicant of this requirement. The city did not receive an extension request before the 30-day deadline. Design Review Amendment Site Plan The 1,224-square-foot classroom training facility will be in the southwest portion of the site and will be accessed from an entrance off Linwood Avenue. The existing facility uses well and septic infrastructure, which will be replaced as part of this project. A storage building, two shooting range areas, and an area with partial structures for tactical training are to remain on the site unchanged. Wetland The proposed project will impact two Manage A wetlands. City code requires a minimum of 75 feet and an average wetland buffer of 100 feet. The project requires a wetland buffer variance, which the Environmental and Natural Resources (ENR) reviewed and recommended approval on May 19, 2025, and the city council subsequently approved on June 23, 2025. The smaller building does not change the encroachment or site grading limits for construction, which the ENR reviewed. The variance request does not need to be reviewed by the ENR again, as Council Packet Page Number 153 of 210 the details related to the wetland buffer encroachment are not changing. The applicant is proposing 13,613 square feet of buffer improvements, which include the removal of invasive species, application of native seeding, and a permeable paver stormwater system. Setbacks The building and parking area are set back 201 feet from the property line along Linwood Avenue to the south and 102 feet from the property line to the west. They are entirely screened from the adjacent public streets and residential properties. Code requires the building to be 30 feet from a street right-of-way and 50 feet from a residential lot line. Parking areas must be 15 feet from the street right-of-way and up to 20 feet from residential property. All setbacks are achieved. Building Elevations The one-story building varies in height between 12 and 17 feet as the grade changes. The proposed materials are insulated concrete masonry unit walls with decorative veneer finishes, and prefinished metal facia, canopy, gutter, and downspout. The building is not visible from the adjacent public streets or residential properties. Landscaping and Screening The applicant proposes planting 18 trees to replace 18 trees that will be removed as part of the site project. The updated plan will remove and treat invasive growth in specific areas with buckthorn, honeysuckle, Japanese knotweed, and reed canary grass, which will then be replaced with wetland seed mix, native plugs, and prairie seed mix. Parking City code does not identify a parking requirement for this use; however, it allows the community and economic development director to review a similar use to determine the minimum requirements. The applicant proposes ten parking stalls, including one accessible stall. As a comparison, the code requires one stall for every 200 square feet of floor area for commercial, office, or recreational building use. Based on this use, the site would require six parking stalls. The site will continue to be utilized privately by the City of Saint Paul Police Department for training. The site is not meant for regular public use, and the number of stalls is adequate. Lighting The applicant submitted a lighting plan illustrating the location and lighting types, which includes wall-mounted lighting on site. Also, a plan showing the light spread and foot-candle levels was provided, showing that the levels at the property lines meet code. Signage Any signage on the property is subject to city review and a sign permit, separate from this design review.

In addition, the proposal includes replacing portions of the entrance drive and parking lot, the septic system, and the onsite well. This review does not constitute a final review of the plans, as the applicant will need to submit construction documents for final review prior to issuing permits. The following are engineering review comments on the design and act as conditions prior to issuing permits: Drainage and Stormwater Management 1)The applicant shall verify the total area disturbed by the project along with the total area of new impervious surfacing. Should the project exceed ½ acre of disturbance or add more than 5,000 square feet of new impervious surface, the project shall meet the City’s stormwater management standards. Water and Sewer Service 2)This project proposes the installation of a new well to provide potable water to the new classroom facility, as there is currently no water service available adjacent to this site. A housing development is underway at the adjacent Ponds at Battle Creek property. Water main will be installed along Linwood Avenue to service the housing development. This water main could be utilized in lieu of installing a new well at the Saint Paul Police Firearms Training Facility. The applicant shall coordinate with the developer of the Ponds at Battle Creek site to determine whether or not connecting to the proposed water main is a viable solution. 3)A subsurface sewage treatment system (SSTS) permit is required for new septic systems.

Council Packet Page Number 179 of 210 Grading and Erosion Control 4)Inlet protection devices shall be installed on all existing and proposed onsite storm sewer until all exposed soils are stabilized. 5)Public and private drives and roadways shall be swept as needed to keep the pavement clear of sediment and construction debris. 6)All pedestrian facilities shall be ADA compliant. 7)A copy of the project SWPPP and NDPES Permit shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a grading permit. 8)All slopes shall be 3H:1V or less steep in slope. 9)The total cut/fill volume shall be noted on the grading plan. Public Works Permits The following permits are required by the Public Works Department for this project. The applicant should verify the need for other City permits with the Building Department. 10)Grading and erosion control permit 11)SSTS Permit 12)Right-of-way Permit (If work is completed within Linwood Avenue right-of-way.) -END COMMENTS - Council Packet Page Number 180 of 210 Environmental Review Project: St. Paul Police Training Facility Location: 2621 Linwood Avenue Date of Plans: January 28, 2026 May 5, 2025 March 18, 2025 Date of Review: Updated Review May 13, 2026 May 20, 2025 Reviewer: Shann Finwall, AICP, Sustainability Coordinator (651)249-2304, shann.finwall@maplewoodmn.gov Background: The St. Paul Police Department is proposing to upgrade their training facility at 2621 Linwood Avenue East. The City approved plans in 2025, which have now been revised to include a smaller building. However, overall grading on the site appears to remain the same. Therefore, no additional variance approvals would be required. The updated environmental review includes details from the original project and conditions which still need to be met with the updated 2025 and 2026 projects. Trees: 1.Tree Preservation Ordinance: a.Significant Trees: Maplewood’s tree preservation ordinance describes a significant tree as a healthy tree as follows - hardwood tree with a minimum of 6 inches in diameter, an evergreen tree with a minimum of 8 inches in diameter, and a softwood tree with a minimum of 12 inches in diameter. b.Specimen Trees: A specimen tree is defined as a healthy tree of any species which is 28 inches in diameter or greater. c.Tree Replacement: If less than 20 percent of the overall caliper inches of significant trees on the site are removed, applicants must replace one 2 diameter inch tree for each significant tree removed. If more than 20 percent are removed, replacement is based on the City’s tree replacement calculation which includes the overall caliper inches of significant trees located on the parcel versus the caliper inches of significant trees removed. Additionally, credits are given for all specimen trees that are preserved. 2.Tree Impacts: The tree survey identifies 308 significant trees on the site, however, the overall caliper inches of significant trees are not included. The site demolition plan shows the removal of 18 significant trees; however, the size and 1 Council Packet Page Number 181 of 210 species of the trees are not included. Tree replacement cannot be determined without additional information, but it is likely that the tree removal is less than 20 percent of the overall caliper inches of trees on the site. In that case the required tree replacement is 18 – 2 diameter inch trees. 3.Tree Replacement: The landscape plan includes 18 – 2 diameter inch trees. 4.Tree Recommendations: a.Prior to issuance of a grading permit the following is required: 1)Tree Plan: a)Identify which trees will be removed on the tree survey and the size and species on the site demolition plan. b)Add the City’s tree replacement calculation to the plans. The tree calculation will include the overall caliper inches of significant trees on the site versus the caliper inches of trees removed. 2)Tree Planting Plan: Final tree planting plan to be reviewed and approved by the City’s Natural Resources Coordinator. 3)Tree 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. Wetlands: 1.Wetland Ordinance: a.Wetland Classification and Buffer Requirements: There are two Manage A wetlands, one adjacent the property on the vacant lot to the west and one on the east side of the property. The City’s wetland ordinance requires a 75-foot minimum and 100-foot average wetland buffer around a Manage A wetland. b.Wetland Buffer Averaging: The wetland ordinance allows flexibility in instances where, because of the unique physical characteristics of a specific parcel of land, the averaging of buffer width for the entire parcel may be necessary to allow for the reasonable use of the land during a development or construction project. In such cases decreasing the minimum buffer width will be compensated for by increased buffer widths elsewhere in the same parcel to achieve the required average buffer width. \\Averaging is allowed based on an assessment of the following: 1)Undue hardship would arise from not allowing the average buffer, or would otherwise not be in the public interest. 2)Size of parcel. 2 Council Packet Page Number 182 of 210 3)Configuration of existing roads and utilities. 4)Percentage of parcel covered by wetland. 5)Configuration of wetlands on the parcel. 6)Averaging will not cause degradation of the wetland or stream. 7)Averaging will ensure the protection or enhancement of portions of the buffer which are found to be the most ecologically beneficial to the wetland or stream. 8)A wetland buffer mitigation plan is required for construction of development projects that will require averaging. In reviewing the mitigation plan, the city may require one or more of the following actions: a)Reducing or avoiding the impact by limiting the degree or amount of the action, such as by using appropriate technology. b)Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the buffer. c)Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by prevention and maintenance operations during the life of the actions. d)Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute buffer land at a two-to-one ratio. e)Monitoring the impact and taking appropriate corrective measures. f)Where the city requires restoration or replacement of a buffer, the owner or contractor shall replant the buffer with native vegetation. A restoration plan must be approved by the city before planting. g)Any additional conditions required by the applicable watershed district and/or the soil and water conservation district shall apply. h)A wetland or buffer mitigation surety, such as a cash deposit or letter of credit, of 150 percent of estimated cost for mitigation. The surety will be required based on the size of the project as deemed necessary by the administrator. Funds will be held by the city until successful completion of restoration as determined by the city after a final inspection. Wetland or buffer mitigation surety does not 3 Council Packet Page Number 183 of 210 include other sureties required pursuant to any other provision of city ordinance or city directive. c.Wetland Buffer Variance: Any deviation from the wetland buffer or wetland buffer averaging requires a wetland buffer variance. The City may require the applicant to mitigate wetland buffer impacts with the approval of a variance, including, but not limited to, implementing one or more of the strategies listed in the mitigation strategies above. 2.Wetland Impacts: a.Existing Conditions: The site was originally developed and graded in approximately 1975, prior to the City’s wetland ordinance and wetland buffer requirements. The drive lane, tactical training buildings, storage building, and gravel pad extend into the 100-foot wetland buffers and are considered pre-existing nonconforming structures and encroachments. b.New Development: The January28, 2026, updated grading plans do not include the setback of the grading work to the wetland edges. The grading does appear to be the same as the previous plans which reflect that the new development will have grading to within approximately 53 feet of the eastern Manage A wetland for the extension of a utility line, parking stall, and septic system. Grading will come to within approximately 59 feet of the western Manage A wetland for building earthwork. Other portions of the new development will be located within the 75-foot minimum buffer. The development requires a 41-foot wetland buffer variance, wetland buffer averaging, and wetland buffer mitigation as required by the wetland ordinance. 3.Proposed Wetland Mitigation: To mitigate the wetland buffer impacts the applicants were originally proposing .15 acres of mitigation strategies to include: a.Removal of buckthorn and other invasive species in key areas around the eastern wetland. b.Removal of 10 to 15 feet of Class 5 surface adjacent the eastern wetland, and the addition of topsoil and native plants and seeds within a 10-foot newly established wetland buffer. c.A wetland buffer protection fence (3.5-feet high galvanized poles with chains) adjacent the remaining Class 5 surface and the newly established wetland buffer. d.Wetland buffer signs at 100-foot intervals around both wetlands and at 25-foot intervals along the new fence. 4.Wetland Buffer Recommendations: a.Prior to issuance of a grading permit the following is required: 4 Council Packet Page Number 184 of 210 1)Plan showing the square footage of wetland buffer impacts (grading and building) beyond the 100-foot required buffers. 2)Plan showing the wetland buffer mitigation strategies equal 2 square feet of mitigation per 1 square foot of wetland buffer impact. 3)Plan showing the location of the removal of buckthorn and other nonnative species being proposed within the western wetland buffer. 4)Fence plan to include the materials, height, and location. 5)Permeable pavement parking stalls. This condition was added by the City Council during the June 23, 2025, meeting. 6)Revised landscape plan to include: a)Detailed plan for nonnative plant removal and maintenance. b)Native seed mix or native plugs as necessary to fill in the areas on the north side of the eastern wetland (area called out as Zone 1A in the May 5 restoration plan) once the nonnative plants are removed. c)Detailed plan for new wetland buffers (areas called out as Zone 1A and Zone 2 in the May 5 restoration plan) including seed mix species and installation methods, and location and species of native plant plugs. d)Final landscape plan to be reviewed and approved by the Natural Resources Coordinator. 7)Wetland Buffer Sign Plan: Identify the location of wetland buffer signs to be installed along the approved wetland buffers. The signs should be placed every 25 feet on the east side of the Class 5 surface, adjacent the new wetland buffer (area called out as Zone 2 in the May 5 restoration plan) and 100 feet in all other areas of the approved wetland buffer. The City of Maplewood supplies wetland buffer signs identifying that no building, mowing, or grading should take place within the buffer. There is a $35 fee per sign. 8)Wetland Buffer Sign Installation: Install the wetland buffer signs prior to grading if feasible 9)Wetland Buffer Mitigation and Maintenance Agreement: Sign a wetland buffer mitigation and maintenance agreement with the City requiring that the applicant establish and maintain the required mitigation within the buffer for a three-year period. The 5 Council Packet Page Number 185 of 210 City of Maplewood will draft the maintenance agreement once the wetland buffer mitigation plan is complete. 10)Submit an updated grading plan for the 2026 proposal which shows the setbacks from the grading work to the wetland edges. 11)Submit a cash escrow or letter of credit to cover 150 percent of the wetland buffer mitigation. The City will retain the escrow for up to three years as outlined in the maintenance agreement to ensure the wetland buffer mitigation is established and maintained. Landscape Policies and Recommendations: Landscape Policies: 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. Landscape Recommendations: Prior to issuance of a grading permit the final landscape plan to be reviewed and approved by the City’s Natural Resources Coordinator. 6 Council Packet Page Number 186 of 210 MINUTES MAPLEWOOD COMMUNITY DESIGN REVIEW BOARD 6:00 P.M.

The city council approved the project on June 23, 2025. I’ve attached the approved resolutions outlining the council decision and conditions of approval. Please review the conditions and ensure the CUP and property comply with them. When the city approves a CUP, the council must review the request within one year; if construction has not started within that time, the CUP shall become null and void. The council can grant an extension, but a written request must be submitted 30 days in advance of the one-year approval date, or 30 days in advance of June 23, 2026. When a CUP review occurs, staff will provide an update on the construction, and if a request to extend the approval is submitted, this will be detailed along with the current compliance with the CUP. If you request an extension, please submit details of why the extension is being requested and how the property meets the approved conditions. I’ve copied some of the language from the conditional use permit section below on the construction requirements and one-year review; please also reference the entire section, which includes additional information pertinent to the upcoming CUP review. City Ordinance:ARTICLE V. - CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS Sec. 44-1099. - Start of construction or use.
