C. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Zone Change (R -1 to R -3) - 4.62 acres on Maryland Avenue 330 feet west
of Lakewood Drive (7:30 P.M.)
a. Acting Mayor Haugan convened the meeting for a public hearing on a
zone change request from R -1 to R -3, the property described as Lot 10,
Block 1, Beaver Lake Addition. The Clerk read the notice of hearing
along with the dates of publication.
b. Administrator Seida explained the specifics of the proposed zone
change.
c. Manager Miller presented the staff report which recommended the zone
change be denied for the following reasons:
1. The incompatibility of such land use with the recommended land
use plans for the area.
2. The proposed change would be incompatible with surrounding and
existing land uses which abutt the site.
3. The site would be more desirable if rezoned to attract a land
use which could substantially alter the environmental conditions
of Beaver Lake in terms of ecological and diversion of existing
ponding waters onto other properties.
d. Commissioner Bill Howard presented the following Planning Commission
report "Commissioner Kishel moved that the Planning Commission recommend
to the Village Council that the case identified as ZC5 -71 (Zone Change -
R -1 to R -3; 4.62 acres on Maryland Avenue, 330 feet west of Lakewood
Drive) be denied for zone change for the reasons indicated in the staff
report.
Commissioner Fischer seconded. Motion carried, Ayes - all."

Seconded by Councilwoman Olson. Ayes - all.
2. Special Use Permit (Liquid Gas Storage Expansion Area) - Century Avenue
(7:50 P.M.)
a. Acting Mayor Haugan convened the meeting for a public hearing on the
request of Northern States Power Co, for a Special Use Permit to expand
the existing Northern States Power Company plant facility on Century Ave-
nue, south of Larpenteur Avenue to include the storage of liquid natural
gas as a peak shaving medium rather than propane air. The Clerk read the
notice of hearing along with the publication dates.
b. Administrator Seida explained the specifics of the Special Use Permit.
c. Manager Miller presented the staff report recommending approval of
the Special Use Permit subject to the following conditions:
1. The existing topographic conditions and natural tree materials shall
be retained without disruption for the first 210 feet setback from the
west right -of -way line of Century Avenue. This condition is absolutely
necessary to preserve existing tree stand growth which will act to screen
and shield the obtrusiveness of this imposing 84 foot high structure.
The N.S.P. plans provide regrade the initial 200 foot frontage of lowering
the grade by 7--8 feet in some instances - -this lowering will act to in-
crease the overall height appearance of this structure from the street,
as well as, remove all existing tree growth and the partial ridge pro-
jection which will act to help screen this facility. Such condition is
recommended because, although functional - -we are quite sure - -the existing
N.S.P. facility immediately south of the proposed site is completely void
of any environmental screening considerations and is stark in its appear-
ance. This Office cannot recommend a continuation and expansion of this
kind of environmental screening absence as would be proposed, particularly
with an 84 foot high structure involved. This Office believes public
service facilities, in addition to being functional, must be publicly
conscious of making their developments environmentally compatible industri-
ally or otherwise.
2. The elevated dike surrounding the tank area must be fenced with a
maxium security wire cyclone fence having a maximum height of 9 feet with
barbed wire angled extensions at the top of said fence. Said fence shall
contain slats within the fence of green color or redwood natural color.
- 2 - 6/24
3. The drainage of the site must be reviewed and approved by the Vil-
lage Engineer prior to any grading or excavations on site of any kind.
Assurance must be made in the approved drainage and grading plans that
the filling of part of this site for tank location does not divert waters
from this site onto other properties not now subject to normal water stor-
age as presently exists.
4. All truck and vehicular access to and from this site shall be via
the existing gate ingress- egress from Century Avenue on the property owned
by N.S.P. immediately to the south of this site. All maneuvering of trucks
other than ingress- egress to the site shall be on site and not allowed with-
in any public street right -of -way.
5. Dense mature landscaping must be provided between the truck skid and
vaporizer area and Century Avenue prior to any final occupancy being grant-
ed. Mature landscaping shall mean minimum 8 foot high plantings of ever-
green stock.
6. Should N.S.P. desire to fence the perimeter boundaries of said site,
as is the case to the south, then said fence style and landscaping screen-
ing treatment shall be approved by the Village Council.
7. The Special Use Permit shall be valid for one year. Failure to draw
a building permit in accordance with these conditions and within 12 months
from final Council approval shall immediately void this Special Use Permit.
d. Commissioner Bill Howard presented the Planning Commission recommend-
ations:
Commissioner Mogren moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the
Village Council that the Special Use Permit application of N.S.P. for a
liquid gas storage facility immediately north of their gas site on Century
Avenue be approved subject to the following conditions in the staff report:
(1) Conditions R, 3, 5, 6 and 7.
(2) Condition #2 should be modified so as to change the last sentence
of said condition to read as follows: "Said fence shall contain slats
within the fence of green color or redwood natural color on the west and
north sides of the site facility."
Commissioner Howard seconded. Motion carried. Ayes - all.
e. Proponents: Mr. Norm Eklund, Northern States Power Company- Municipal
Services, introduced Mr. Bill Friedman, N.S.P. Gas Sales, who spoke on
behalf of the request. Mr. Ed Chilton, N.S.P. Company, explained the
safety factors that are provided for the construction of this type of
facility. Mr. Eklund requested that the staff condition No. 4, one con-
dition that the Planning Commission deleted, be one of the conditions of
the approval.
f. Following further discussion, Acting Mayor Haugan called for formal
objections. The following objectors were heard:
- 3 - 6/24
Sister Luane, Corporate Secretary of St. Paul Piory, Inc., requested
Council postpone the matter for a 30 to 60 day period so members of
the corporation could meet with N.S.P.
Mr. Christensen, Hillcrest Development Company
Donald Olmstead, 1567 Myrtle St.
Harry Schmakel, 1610 Sterling
Councilwoman Olson requested to step down from the Council and registered
her opposition as a resident.
Mrs. Lawrence Olson, 1580 Sterling
g. Acting Mayor Haugan closed the public hearing.
h. Councilwoman Olson
ed parties to work out the problem (N.S.P, and The Priory, Inc., etc.
and if this occurs before the 60 days limit, Council will meet at the
earliest possible time to consider the matter.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu.
Ayes - all.
3. Zone Change (B -C to R -1) - Keller Parkway (8:10 P.M.)
a. Acting Mayor Haugan convened the meeting for a public hearing for Zone
Change from B -C to R -11 property described as Lot 6, Kohlman's Division
except that part of Lot 6 described as follows: commencing at the N.E.
corner of said lot, the point of beginning of parcel to be described, thence
in a southeasterly direction a distance of 209.6 feet, more or less to a
point in the easterly line of said lot; thence north along said line a
distance of 25 feet to the point of beginning. The Clerk read the notice
of hearing along with the dates of publication.
b. Administrator Seida explained the specifics of the proposed zone
change.
c. Manager Miller stated this rezone request was by petition signed by
five owners, a majority of the property owners totaling 6, within 200
feet of the site itself. The property owners of the site have not in-
itiated or requested the rezone. The request is legal and valid and con-
stitutes a properly filed rezone request in accordance with Section 915.010
of the Municipal Code. Manager Miller presented the staff recommendation
for approval of the requested zone change for the following reasons:
1. The current zoning on the site is incompatible with the land use
character and environment of the area;
2. The site although zoned commercially, is not utilized as such and
thus reflects the land use demand in the area;
1
3. Keller Parkway which serves as an access street for the site, is
- 4 -
6/24
strictly a local low grade street and is not adequately designed, con-
structed, or safe for accommodating commercial traffic which might be
generated to the site if so developed commercially.
4. The site and area is currently void of a public potable water
system, thus, the Community safety and welfare is jeopardized unduly
should the site develop commercially because of the current inability
of Maplewood to provide necessary and desirably adequate public service
of water and fire protection. Such inability increases the risk of
welfare and safety to the site and people on it should it be developed
commercially.
This Office believes that although the site should be rezoned, we
wish to suggest that the proposed General Land Use Plan by this Office
recommends that the entire site become public open space connecting Ger-
vais and Kohlman Lakes- -such space is needed to accomplish the recommended
path linkage throughout the Community. Realizing full -well the Community's
situation on our proposal, we believe the proposed rezone comes closest to
realizing the proposed plan objective, as well as, creating a more desir-
able planned neighborhood.
d. Mr. Bill Howard presented the following Planning Commission recom-
mendation:
Commissioner Kishel moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the
Village Council that Zone Change Case 6 -71 be approved for the reasons
stated in the staff report including the last paragraph of the staff's
report.
Commissioner Mogren seconded. Motion carried. Ayes - all.
Commissioner Howard - Abstained.
e. Proponents - Mrs. Beaker, 2786 Keller Parkway, referred to the reasons
for the rezoning that were filed with the petition. Manager Miller read
the following list of reasons for requesting the rezoning:
1. The majority of the surrounding residents feel that the commercial
zoning on this property is not in the interest of their general welfare.
2. The land involved is an isolated commercial zoning in a residential
area. There are no other planned or existing commercial areas nearby.
3. It is a poor commercial location. The population is sparse. Keller
Parkway would be inadequate to accommodate the added traffic of a com-
mercial nature. Furthermore, there is poor access to this area from
main highways and streets.
4. The street is a scenic drive around Lake Gervais. It is also used
for recreational purposes by hikers, joggers, bicyclists, and equestrians.
Additional commercial traffic would deprive all who enjoy the road around
the lake of these pleasures.
5. There has been a time lapse of about 10 years since this property was
last used commercially. Remoteness of the site plus a history of residents
opposed to commercial use probably accounts for this. It has, in fact,
- 5 - 6/24
been used as R -1 (and R -2) during this time and we feel that zoning to
be the most compatible one.
6. Commercial zoning will encourage building of structures on this site
out of scale with existing developed structures and interfere with the
inherent beauty of the lake.
7. The land in question is bordered on the east by Lake Kohlman, west
by Lake Gervais, and on the south by a channel connecting the two lakes.
The designation as commercial of this land invites the development of an
enterprise which exploits the close proximity of the land to the lakes.
This jeopardizes the lakes by creating potential pollution hazards. The
ecology of these lakes is already imperiled and added pollution in any
form will threaten the continued safe use of the lakes by the wildlife that
abounds there and by the people who swim and fish there.
8. Much of the land is actual wet land. To employ it for commercial use
would require filling, thus creating potential problems in maintaining
natural drainage of the surrounding areas and preserving the channel con-
necting the two lakes.
9. This property has not sustained a thriving commercial venture and has
instead deteriorated into an abominable eyesore which places a burden on
the surrounding residents. We feel that an R -1 zoning would be the correct
land usage designation for this property so that it will be utilized and
become an addition to the community.
f. Opponents - Acting Mayor Haugan called for formal objections. None
were heard.
g. Acting Mayor Haugan closed the public hearing.
h. Councilman Wiegert moved to delay decision on the zone change for one
week to allow for further testimony.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.
Acting Mayor Haugan called for a five minute recess.
Acting Mayor Haugan reconvened the meeting at 10:08 P.M.
4. Planned Unit Development (Residential) - Southeast corner of McKnight
Road and Lower Afton Road (8:30 P.M.)
a. Acting Mayor Haugan convened the meeting for a public hearing on the
request for a Planned Unit Development at the Southeast corner of Mc-
Knight Road and Lower Afton Road legally described as: The northwest
1/4 of the northwest 1/4 of Section 12, Township 28, Range 22, except
the southerly 450 feet of the westerly 250 feet thereof, and except the
northerly 362 feet and except the westerly 40 feet thereof. The Clerk
read the notice of hearing along with the dates of publication.
b. Administrator Seida presented the specifics of the requested planned
- 6 - 6/24
unit development. The proposed plan calls for 190 one bedroom units,
225 two bedroom units and 11 three bedroom units and 21 townhouse units
for a total of 426 dwelling units.
c. Manager Miller presented the staff report recommending approval of
the planned unit development with the following conditions:
1. Reduction of the density of dwelling units per acre from 17.12 to
15. The net result is that recommendation for 375 dwelling units is ad-
vanced but not 426 as is proposed.
2. The bedroom mix should be limited to 6 -3 bedroom units, 185 -1 bed-
room units and 184 -2 bedroom units.
3. A revised site plan indicating such comments of conditions 1 and 2
shall be submitted prior to issuance of any building permits.
4. The existing special use permit for the excavation of the site shall
prevail until:.its expiration, unless the owner of the site indicates such
approved permit is relinquished and project abandoned.
5. No building or development permits shall be issued and no physical
site improvement work shall commence until Village Council has approved
such building or development detailed plans.
6. The Special Use Permit for dwelling development of this site is bound
by the Village Council, May 6, 1971 directive that building permits may
be issued within the service area of the sanitary sewer trunk which serves
this site and other properties but not to exceed the amount of capacity
assigned for the sewer line to Maplewood by the Metropolitan Sewer Board.
This condition should be understood as meaning that all properties within
the service area will be governed by such directive, and as the total aggre-
gate of all units issued permits reaches the assigned capacity level all
further permits would be withheld pending Metropolitan Sewer Board approval.
7. The Special Use Permit shall be valid for a 12 month period commencing
on the date of Council approval of such Special Use Permit. Failure to
commence building development under building permit within this time el-
ement will cause the permit to automatically be recinded and revoked.
8. The Council shall reserve the right to impose::*iming, staging, land-
scaping, drainage, lighting, street signing, and any other conditions it
deems necessary for the project at such time of building plan review for
development permit.
9. Building #5 designated on the Plan is not approved in terms of loca-
tion and is specifically eliminated from the plan because of the conflicting
property ownership upon which part of the building is proposed.
10. The approval of the County shall be necessary for access opening
onto Lower Afton Road prior to issuance of any development permit for con -
struction purposes by the Village. Likewise, no vehicle access shall be
allowed onto McKnight Road from the site directly.
- 7 - 6/24
11. Adjacent to the west side of the site is McKnight Road which this
Office has designated as a "Major Collector Street ". Such street in this
area, in our planning judgment, should have a minimum right -of -way, as it
intersects with Lower Afton (a major arterial), of 100 feet plus necessary
slope control easements. Further, Lower Afton is designated as a "Major
Arterial" and should have a right -of -way width of 130 feet. The site plan
should be adjusted to reflect these planning standards of perimeter bound-
ary streets, as well as, site plan and building site relocation will be
needed.
d. Village Engineer Collier stated he had been in contact with the Met-
ropolitan Sewer Board and they informed him they will provide capacity
in the sewer for the proposed development as needed, as long as it is over
a period of time, and is not needed completely at once for the entire
development.
e. Commissioner Bill Howard presented the following Planning Commission
report:
"Commissioner Kishel moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the
Village Council that a Special Use Permit for Planned Unit Development be
approved for the Arnold Johnson Property of 24.88 acres at the S.E. corner
of Lower Afton Road and McKnight Road subject to the conditions recommended
in the staff report.
Condition #3 in said staff report is modified to read: " A revised site
plan indicating such comments of conditions 1 and 2 shall be submitted
prior to final Council approval of the Special Use Permit."
Commissioner Howard seconded, Motion carried on following vote:
Aye - 4, Nay - 3."
f. Proponents: Mr. Rueben Johnson, Vice President of Buetow and Assoc-
iates, representing Arnold Johnson, owner of the property, spoke on be-
half of the development.
g. Apponents: Mr. Charles Zellmer, 2284 Londin Lane, stated he really
wasn't in opposition but wished to know more about the proposal.
h. Acting Mayor Haugan called for formal objections. No one was heard.
i. Acting Mayor Haugan closed the public hearing.
j. Councilwoman Olson moved to delay decision on the planned unit de-
velooment Dr000sal for one week to allow for further testimonv.
Seconded by Councilman Wiegert. Ayes - all.
D. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Beam Avenue Improvements
a. Village Engineer Collier stated that last Monday morning the Ramsey
County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution regarding the treatment
- 8 - 6/24
1
of storm water, this has a large effect on the Beam Avenue Improvements
and the Village cannot continue with the construction of the storm sewer
with the original plans. It will be necessary to put in a sotrage pond.
This caused the bid opening to be delayed for one week. Also, Mr. Collier
requested Council pass a resolution allowing Staff to procede with plans
to alter Ditch 18. This authorization is required in order to change the
pipe size under Beam Avenue. There will be about a 3 month delay in ob-
taining final approval from Ramsey County, but Ramsey County has assured
the Staff that the work can be done before final approval is received, as
long as the Village meets the County requirements.
b. Mr. Iry Samuelson, Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendorff, explained
the specifics of what construction is being planned for the ponding area.

Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.
Councilwoman Olson moved to suspend the rules to discuss two items.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.
1. Mrs. Roy Gosselin, 1806 Myrtle Street stated the contractor she had hired,
obtained a swimming pool permit from the Village. She stated she was told
there wasn't any Village ordinance regarding swimming pools, so they ordered
a pool. Immediately after the permit was issued, the Village Planner arrived
at her home stating they could not use the permit because the swimming pool
was not 30 feet from the street. He further stated that to build the swimming
pool less than the 30 foot requirement, a variance would have to be granted.
The fee to apply for a variance is $50.00 Mrs. Gosselin questioned if a var-
iance was necessary if there is no ordinance to start with.
Village Attorney Lais stated he could not give a yes or no answer at this time
because he would want to review the matter first.
Councilwoman Olson requested that as soon as Council receives an opinion from
the Staff, a meeting of the Board of Appeals and Adjustments be set.
Councilwoman Olson suggested that the Village have a swimming pool ordinance
that is readable and can be understood.
2. Councilman Wiegert stated he had a call regarding the Doro project at
Larpenteur and McKnight. They are apparently many workers on the site and
with the muddy conditions, there is no place for them to park. The trucks
bringing materials can't get onto to the site because of the muddy conditions,
so they cross residents private dirveways. The area south of Ripley Street,
where the culvert was installed, is blocked and is quite an attraction for the
children. Would it be proper for the Village to install temporary snow fencing
to prevent both problems?
Councilman Wiegert also questioned if the townhouses that are being built
facing McKnight Road are in compliance with the plans submitted. Another item
that should be checked is the amount of parking on McKnight Road.
Staff was requested to investigate all the above stated problems and report
back to the Council at the next meeting.
F. ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS
1. Village Attorney Lais requested approval for payment of easements for
- 12 - 6/24
Kohlman Lane Sanitary Sewer Improvement.
Councilman Greavu introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
71 - 6 - 121
BE IT RESOLVED that the proper Village officials are authorized to
pay to Roy F. Robbins and Shirley E. Robbins, husband and wife, for an
easement for the Kohlman Lane sewer construction the amount of $350.00
for a permanent easement over and across their properties.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the proper Village officials are author-
ized to pay the sum of $250.00 for a permanent easement over and across
the property of Thomas J. Sperl and Rose Mary Sper1, husband and wife,
for the construction of the Kohlman Lane sewer.
Seconded by Councilman Wiegert.
Ayes - all.
2. Village Attorney Lais stated the Bond Sale originally set for July 13, 1971
will have to be reset for July 20, 1971 because of the Beam Avenue bid opening
being delayed. An amendment to the resolutions passed at the June 17, 1971
meeting should be granted.
Councilwoman Olson moved to amend resolutions No. 71 -6 -111 and 71 -6 -112 chang-
ing the date of the Bond Sale to July 20, 1971.
Seconded by Councilman Wiegert.
Ayes - all.
3. Manager Miller stated he has met with the Union Local 49 representative
twice and basically what was said was that the contract was sold to the em-
ployees with three weeks vacation after five years. Several attempts to
work out other alternatives were made.
No action was taken.
4. Manager Miller recommended that the street, sewer and recreation foremen's
salaries be increased by 8, % retroactive to January 1, 1971. The foremen
do not belong to the Union and it is suggested they be included with the office
personnel when increases are discussed at the beginning of each year. The
hourly rate for the foremen are as follows: Street - $5C60 -per hour, Recreation
- $5.60 per hour and Sewer - $5.71 per hour.
Councilman Wiegert moved to approve the 81, % salary increase for the three
foremen retroactive to January 1, 1971.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu.
Ayes - all.
5. Councilwoman Olson stated she had seen one of the Village cars being
driven by one of the people in the Recreation Department at a rate of 50 to
60 miles per hour, down Frost. She questioned what kind of coverage the Vil-
lage has; what extent do these young people use these cars and are they covered
by insurance.
Staff will investigate.
