Ayes-All
(Abstention-Mr. Ledvina)
AT & T Monopole Conditional Use permit-1745 Cope Avenue
Ken Roberts presented the staff report. AT & T Wireless is proposing to install a monopole up to
125 feet tall and an equipment building for wireless telecommunications. They would like to install
the monople and building at 1745 Cope Avenue, on the southwest corner of the existing parking
lot. The original request was submitted to the commission on September 7th, but was tabled at
that point to give AT & T more time to try to work with Qwest communications about co-locating
on the property on Gervais Court. Qwest was unable to meet AT & T's needs as they are not
structurally able to extend the existing pole to the 122 foot height that AT & T would require and
they do not have enough room on their site to allow for the installation of another monopole.
-2-
Staff and the owner of the Monson Insurance building at 1737 Cope Avenue are concerned about
the preposed location of the monople and equipment building. There are other locations in this
general area that staff considers more preferable for this facility. Any of these alternative
locations for the monopole would have less impact on the Monson Insurance building and it would
put it further from the residential properties south of Cope Avenue.
In response to commission questions, Mr. Roberts noted the property owner for each of the
preperties in question was the same, and he is leasing the Taste of India building out to the
operators of the restaurant. The currently proposed site does meet the city ordinance for
monopoles. Even though it does meet the ordinance, the staff feels there are other locations on
site that would balance some of the oppositions.
Commissioner Ledvina asked whether there would be any alternative sites located in the
northwest corner of the property. Commissioner Thompson felt there could be some obstruction
to the Taste of India signage. He also noted unlicensed vehicles parked in the lot north of Strauss
Skates.
Commissioner Trippler noticed the Strauss building had a delivery door in back, and wondered if
AT & T would be subjecting themselves to possible damage from trucks backing up. He also
questioned the response from AT & T regarding the alternative locations. Mr. Trippler also
wondered why the property owner was not interested in other sites on the property.
Julie Townsend was present from AT & T Wireless Services (2515 24th Avenue South, Mpls.) to
answer questions. She stated the location they have selected is the location that is appreved and
preferred by the owner of the property, Mr. Charbonneau.
Ms. Townsend noted that Mr. Charbonneau is opposed to the suggested altemative locations for
various reasons. She also stated that Mr. Charbonneau has future plans for the Strauss property
and anything on the Strauss property would not be acceptable. Mr. Charbonneau's largest
opposition was to the location directly in the center of property, which was unacceptable to him,
and hindered any type of redevelopment in the future.
In response to Commissioner Trippler's question as to whether she has talked to the owner from
Monson Insurance, Ms. Townsend stated she had attempted to. She tried to contact Monson
Insurance to talk to someone to discuss any landscaping they could possibly do, and discuss the
building style of the proposed building that would make it somewhat less obtrusive. She left
messages for the owner of Monson, his brether and an attorney, with no response. Ms.
Townsend said she also contacted other companies in the area about leasing out their property
with little to no response.
Mr. Thompson referred to a New England Journal of Medicine article regarding the study of cell
phones and accidents. According to the article, the accident ratio was four times greater within
five minutes of a driver used their cell phone. He questioned whether or not AT & T was prepared
to accept this responsibility. Ms. Townsend did not feel she was the proper person to answer that
question, and did not have her marketing and safety specialist with her that evening.
Randy Monson was present from Monson Insurance, 1737 Cope Avenue, as his father was out of
the country. The owners are very concerned that the tower will significantly alter the character of
the surrounding area, and if it will any adverse affect on the value of their and their neighbors
properties, which is largely office and commercial. He felt just north of Highway 36 their are
properties that are more commercial which he felt would be better suited for this type of project.
Jim Miller was present from James Miller Investment Realty Company, 1 West Water Street Suite
400, St. Paul. He has a listing agreement for a vacant property owned by the St. Paul School
Foundation that is immediately to the west of the Charbonneau property. He said they would be
interested in leasing to AT & T for the monopole project. This site is approximately 26,000 square
feet and on the north end of the property. Ms. Townsend could not remember if they had talked to
the owner of this site but thought that since the property was landlocked (so they had no access
to the property) that it would not meet AT & T's needs.
-3-
Commissioner Frost questioned if approving the recommendation does not necessarily mean
building the monopole on the present property, or if it could be adjacent land. Staff felt the specific
property referred to in the resolution was 1745 Cope Avenue and the legal description for it. The
land lock situation is out of the city's hands. The user or developer of that property will have to
work out an access agreement with one of the adjoining properties. There is an easement noted
on the plat map. -
Ms. Thompson reiterated they are requesting approval for a conditional use permit for a specific
location. The applicant does not agree to the condition in the approval that states they shall
revise the site plan by moving the lease area away from Monson Insurance, and asked that it be
stricken and be rewritten to state Uas proposed".
Mr. Trippler asked the staff if an applicant is required to bring all the expertise personnel
necessary to answer questions that are likely to arise. Mr. Roberts stated they certainly hope that
they would, but an applicant can not necessarily foresee every question that may come up.
Mr. Pearson moved the council to adopt the resolution that would approve a conditional use
permit to allow up to a 125-foot-tall telecommunications monopole and related equipment. This
approval is for the property at 1745 Cope Avenue. The city bases this approval on the findings
required by the ordinance and is subject to the following conditions:
1. All construction shall follow the plans as approved by the city, including the location of the
lease site. The applicant shall revise the site plan by moving the lease area away from
the south property line to a new location that will have less impact on the Monson
Insurance property. The revised site plan shall be subject to city staff approval. The
director of community development may approve minor changes to the approved plan.
The applicant shall verify the location of the property lines and existing site features
around the lease area with a certificate of survey.
2. The applicant shall prepare and follow a landscape and screening plan that would help to
hide the base area of the proposed facility (for any location).
3. The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of council
approval or the permit shall become null and void. The council may extend this deadline
for one year.
4. The city council shall review this permit in one year.
5. The applicant or owner shall allow the co-location of other providers' telecommunications
equipment on the proposed tower with reasonable lease conditions.
6. Any antenna that is not used for a year shall be deemed abandoned and the city may
require that it be removed.
7. The applicant or AT & T shall post a bond or other guarantee with the city to ensure
proper removal of the antenna and Monopole and the restoration of the site.
Mr. Ledvina seconded.
Because the recommendation is for a specific address, Mr. Trippler stated he will not vote for the
proposal when there is another suitable property that is available.
4 Ayes-(Frost, Ledvina, Pearson, Thompson)
3 Nays-(Trippler, Rossbach, Fischer)
Xl. NEW BUSINESS
Lot-Area and Lot-Width Variances-Southeast Corner of Roselawn Avenue and Kenwood
Drive east
Mr. Roberts gave the staff report for the city. Mr. Dennis Campbell i_s requesting that the City
approve two variances to build a house on an existing lot. They are.'
1. A variance to build on a lot that is 69.5 feet wide (on the side street). City Code requires
comer lots in the R-1 (single-dwelling residential) zoning district to have 100 feet of frontage
on each public street and at least 75 feet of width at the building setback line.
2. A variance to build on lot that has an area of 8,400 square feet. City Code requires a
minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet for lots in the R-1 zone. This would require a
variance of 1,600 square feet.
Mr. Rossbach expressed concern that the back door to the home being built on the lot would open
into the backyard of the abutting home which would diminish the neighbors privacy. Although the
commission may only control the lot, he felt that the new house needs to be in character with the
neighborhood.
The new property line maps aro a groat tool to the commission as noted by Mr. Trippler. He also
wanted to ensure, since elevations are not displayed, that the engineering department would need
to approve the grading for the site before construction.
Dennis Campbell, applicant, 1872 ^dele St., Maplewood, was present to answer questions.
He clarified that the proposed back door to the home would face the side of the neighbors home,
not their backyard. He did show the proposed plans of the colonial style home to the neighbors
and they seemed very pleased with the project.
Mr. Ledvina suggested the grade for the project may not be up to code due to there being a 4 foot
hump on the property from curb to back. He also strongly agrees without being able to control the
building, the proposal could be very much out of character for the neighborhood and not serve the
variances well.
Commissioner Frost made motion to move the council to adopt the resolution that would:
Approve changing the zoning for the lot at the southeast comer of Roselawn Avenue and
Kenwood Drive East and for the property at 800 Roselawn Avenue from R-1 (single-
dwelling residential) to R(S) (small-lot single dwelling residential). The city is approving
this change because it meets the findings required by code and because the applicant is
proposing to build a single dwelling on the vacant property.
Approve the resolution for a 15.5-foot variance to the zoning code to build a house on a
corner lot that has 69.5 feet of street frontage (instead of the 85 feet required by code).
The reasons for this variance are:
1. A house on this lot is in keeping with the character of the area.
2. The problem is due to circumstances unique to the property not caused by the
owner.
3. The variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance.
Commissioner Trippler seconded.
Ayes-5 (Fischer, Frost, Pearson,
Thompson, Trippler)
Nays-2 (Rossbach, Ledvina)
-5-
Mr. Rossbach stated the nay votes were not in any way an attempt to prevent Mr. Campbell
from building a house on this lot. Their concern was that a house could be built that would be
totally out of character for the neighborhood. In making the change to the R-I(S) and granting
the variance, we are doing that so that it can be in character with the neighborhood. If the
house that is built is out of character with the existing architectural designs that exist and if the
house is not oriented properly on the lot, it ~,ill not be in. character.
This proposal will go before the City Council at the November 13th meeting.

Conditional Use Permit - Affordable Auto Sales
1930 Rice Street
November 15, 2000
INTRODUCTION
Mike Whitelaw and Tom Godes are requesting approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) to sell
used cars from 1930 Rice Street. Refer to the maps and sketch on pages 6-10 and the letter on
page 11.
DISCUSSION
cuP and Parking
Staff does not see a problem with used car sales on this site as long as it is well maintained and
well operated. Being well maintained means that the site must be kept in presentable and neat
condition--building and site alike. Being well operated means that the applicant's must not allow
cars on the site beyond the limits of the striped parking spaces. A large problem with such car
lots is that cars (inventory as well as costumers) expand into the drive aisles. A site intended for
19 cars should not become one with additional vehicles squeezed onto the property. Doing so
creates congestion, disorder and unsightliness. We recently had a problem with Minnesota
Motors on Century Avenue where cars were parked all over the site in drive aisles, by customers
in posted "no parking' areas and also on neighboring property.
Overflow parking onto street shoulders is not allowed. Rice Street is not posted for "no parking"
but it seems highly unlikely parking would occur along that busy roadway. Roselawn Avenue is
posted "no parking" so off-site parking should not happen there. The applicant must, therefore,
contain their parking on their site.
Building and Site Design
The applicant is proposing to stripe the site with 19 parking spaces-one would be a handicap-
accessible space. The site is a little tight but it should be adequate for the applicants needs as
laid it out. The parking spaces, however, with the exception of the handicap space, should be no
less than 9 % feet wide as code requires. The applicant has already resurfaced the parking lot
with bituminous paving. While repaving the parking lot they also expanded the pavement surface
on the south side of the building. Refer to the landscaping plan on page 8.
The applicants have also started refurbishing the outside of the building. They added light grey
horizontal-lap vinyl siding on the south and west elevations, replaced windows on the west
elevation and eliminated windows on the south side. The east and north sides of the building
would remain sided with the existing rectangular metal panels. They propose to place a red neon
accent stdpe along the top edge of the building.
They began this work without applying for a building permit. The Maplewood Building Inspection
Office stopped the work and told Mr. Whitelaw that he must get a permit to continue. In spite of
starting this work before getting city council approval and a building permit, these changes are
improvements over the former building appearance.
Landscaping Plan
The applicants should edge around the planting beds and provide wood-chip or rock-mulch with
a weed block to keep them neat. Staff would recommend trees along the frontages, but this site
has no "on site" green area. The green areas are on street right-of-way where trees should not
be planted. The applicants should also sod the exposed dirt area east of their Roselawn Avenue
curb cut.
Signs
Identification signs have not been proposed. The existing pylon sign structures on the site do not
likely meet the city code requirements for setbacks. The applicants must make sure that their
sign requests meet code requirements.
Outdoor Trash Storage
Trash containers that are kept outside must be kept in screening enclosures. This is a code
requirement.
Outdoor Material Storage
The city council should prohibit any outdoor storage of materials whether used or new. For
instance, old tires, or any other new or used materials unless they can be concealed in a trash
enclosure.
COMMITTEE ACTIONS
November 14, 2000: The community design review board recommended approval of the plans.
RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Adopt the resolution on pages 12-13 approving a conditicnal use permit for used car sales at
1930 Rice Street. Approval is based on the findings required by the code and subject to:
1. All construction shall follow the site plan approved by the city. The director of community
development may approve minor changes.
2. The proposed use must be substantially started within one year of council approval or the
permit shall become null and void. The council may extend this deadline for one year.
3. The city council shall review this permit in one year.
The site shall be kept in neat and orderly condition. The applicant shall observe the
striping pattern and not crowd additional cars on the site beyond what can be parked in
the stdped parking spaces.
2
There shall be no vehicle delivery or transport/trailer unloading along either street. This
shall be done on site.
Outdoor storage of any new or used materials shall be prohibited unless they can be fully
concealed within a trash enclosure. The design and placement of any such enclosure
shall be subject to staff approval.
Approval of the plans date-stamped October 19, 2000 for Affordable Auto Sales at 1930 Rice
Street. Approval is based on the findings required by the code and subject to the applicant's
complying with the following conditions:
1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this
project.
2. Provide the following for staff approval before the city issues a building permit:
a. Revise the site plan to show 9 %-foot-wide parking spaces and one eight-foot-wide
handicap parking space. The handicap space shall also have an eight-foot-wide
striped loading aisle. The applicant shall close the southerly curb cut on Rice Street
and curb across the opening at the street edge. This driveway shall be restored with
sod. The driveway closing shall meet with MnDOT specifications. The applicant shall
obtain a MnDOT permit if one is required for this driveway closing.
b. Revise the landscape plan to show that the planting beds have edging, weed block
fabric and rock or wood-chip mulch.
c. Revise the building elevations showing the east and north sides of the building
painted light grey to match the siding color.
d. A plan for a trash dumpster enclosure for outside trash containers if used (code
requirement). This plan must show the placement and design of the enclosure.
Trash enclosures must have a 100 percent opaque closeable gate. Enclosures must
be of a material that matches or is compatible with the building.
e. An escrow in the amount of 200 percent of the cost of installing the landscaping,
installing stop signs, striping the parking lot, closing/restoring the southerly driveway
on Rice Street and building a trash enclosure (if used) before obtaining a building
permit. This is to guarantee the completion of this work.
3. Complete the following:
a. Install a reflectorized stop sign at both Rice Street exits and a handicap-parking sign
for the handicap-parking space.
b. Construct a trash dumpster enclosure for any outside trash containers if used.
c. Stripe the parking lot at 9Y~-foot-wide spaces with one eight-foot-wide handicap-
accessible parking space with an adjacent eight-foot-wide loading space.
d. Install the planting beds.
e. Paint the north and east sides of the building to match the siding color.
f. Adjusting the site light that is mounted on the canopy to aim downward toward the
site, not outward into drivers' eyes.
All work shall follow the approved plans. The director of community development may
approve minor changes.
Complying with the requirements of the sign ordinance. The two existing signs along
Rice Street are not grandfathered in. The applicant shall remove these and comply with
the city sign code.

City of Maplewood,
At the following address of 1930 Rice Street, we are looking at
putting an upscale used car lot, which will be housing fifteen to twenty
cars. Plans have already been drawn up with an architect for
improvements of approximately thirty thousand dollars to improve the
overall appearance of the building including repaving the lot, building's
exterior, and horticulture around the entire property. This location was
chosen because of the amount of traffic already present and the easy
accessibility to and from the property. The area has been zoned for this
type of business with a current car lot across the street directly to the south
and a full service automotive station directly to the west. With planned
improvements already in progress to the building and its surroundings, the
value of the property will stay the same, if not increase. With continued
improvements and planned maintenance the area will only become more
inviting to the general public while becoming an asset to the City of
Maplewood. Naturally a thriving business is a much better economic value
than a vacant lot. We will also be having the opportunity to employ a few
people from the community, which will enhance the development of the
area.
Our projected hours of business are 10am to 7pm Monday thru
Friday and 10am to 5pm on Saturdays. We will be selling reputable cars
and doing only minimal car maintenance, like oil changes, to only the cars
being sold. ,All other work will be done off site.
The lot will be lit up by the use of halogen lights, which will not be
shinning on the neighbor's property. It will be closed off at night and the
use of security cameras around the lot will help deter any unwanted /
negative behavior.
We would appreciate your consideration in this request. We are
willing to work with the City of Maplewood in any way to make this
possible.
Sincerely,
Tom Godes
if you have any questions please call Mike Whitelaw at (612) 296-6661.

Preliminary Plat and Design Review - Emerald Estates Townhomes
County Road D, east of Hazelwood Street
November 14, 2000
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Mr. Klm Tramm, of Tramm Builders & Realtors, is proposing to build a 12-unit townhome
development on County Road D, west of the Maple Ridge Apartments. Refer to the maps on
pages 7-9. Mr. Tramm is requesting approval of a preliminary plat to create individual lots and
approval of the site, landscaping and architectural plans.
The proposed buildings would have horizontal-lap vinyl siding. There would be brick wainscot as
an accent. The siding color would be light green, trim would be white. Refer to the applicants
color description on page 11.
DISCUSSION
Preliminary Plat
The preliminary plat for the 12 units meets the city's density requirements for high-density
residential development. Having a lot for each unit will allow the developer to sell each unit
individually. This project would fit into this multi-family area lying between the Maple Ridge
Apartments and the future Pineview Estates townhomes.
These 12 new units should not contribute significantly to the traffic load on County Road D.
Twelve more units would be negligible compared to the prop3sed 72-unit Pineview Estates
townhomes and the 100-unit Maple Ridge Apartments.
Building Design
The buildings would be attractive. The applicant indicated in his building description that the
colors are subject to change. The applicant should be reasonably certain about their proposed
colors by the time they appear before the community design review board (CDRB). The CDRB
also needs to see color and material samples at their meeting for review.
Site Issues
Driveway Closinq
The curb cut should be widened to 30 feet and have ten-foot turning radii. The existing easterly
driveway should be closed and the street curb extended across that opening.
Right-of-Way Dedication
The applicant has shown a 10-foot-wide right-of-way dedication on the preliminary plat
(Sheet 2 of 4). The city does not need this additional right-of-way for street widening. The
applicant should, however, dedicate this 10 feet as a drainage and utility easement. The city
typically requires the drainage and utility easements along all the perimeter property lines. These
easements are typically ten feet wide along the front and rear property lines and five feet wide
along the side property lines.
Landscaping Plan
The proposed landscaping would be attractive. Staff recommends that the applicant sod all
green areas. It was not shown on plan how turf would be established. The hillside to the north
could be seeded if the applicant prefers seed over sod in that area. Also, the city code requires
that all landscaped areas have an in-ground lawn irrigation provided.
Board Approval Required
The applicant must apply to the Ramsey / Washington Metro Watershed District for a permit.
The watershed board requires a district permit for sites that exceed one acre.
RECOMMENDATIONS

Carpet Court
Northwest Comer of Larpenteur Avenue and Arcade Street
November 14, 2000
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Gary Blair, of Carpet Court, is proposing to build an 8,160-square-foot, two-story building for his
carpet store and warehouse. The proposed building would have an extedor of flat concrete block
with accent striping of rock-face block. The flat block would be "linen white." The rock-face
block would be colored ~lilac,' a color in the purple range according to the architect. Refer to the
attachments on pages 8-11 and the plans (separate attachments).
Requests
Mr. Blair is requesting that the city council approve:
1. Rezoning the westedy part of the site from R1 (single dwelling residential) to BC (business
commercial). The city has planned this property for BC use. Refer to the map on page 10
and the applicant's letter on page 12.
2. A 25-foot building setback vadance from the west lot line. The code requires a 75-foot
setback--the applicant is proposing 50 feet. Refer to the site plan on page 11 and the letter
on pages 13-14.
3. A 13 percent impervious surface area variance from the shoreland ordinance. The code
requires that the applicant cover no more than 50 percent of the site with building, asphalt
and concrete (impervious materials). The applicant's site plan shows a coverage of 63
percent. Refer to the applicant's letter on page 15.
4. Site, landscape and architectural plans.
BACKGROUND
This site previously had a fuel station in the 1960s and 1970s. The building then became a
video-rental before being demolished.
DISCUSSION
Rezoning
Staff would recommend approval of this rezoning if not for concerns with the proposed variances
(discussed below). The proposed BC rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Refer
to the map on page 9. Staff feels, however, that rezoning is premature unless there is a viable
site plan that staff can support without the need for large variances.
Variances
State law requires that the city council make two specific findings to approve variances. These
are:
Strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the
property under consideration. "Undue hardship" means the property in question cannot be
put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. The
"hardship' must be due to circumstances unique to his property, not created by the
landowner. It must also be determined that the variance, if granted, would not alter the
essential character of the locality. Economic considerations shall not constitute an undue
hardship if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance.
2. The variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance.
Hardship
Making the "hardship' determination because of circumstances unique to the property is always
the hardest to make. Unique circumstances are elements like an oddly-shaped site which makes
it difficult to place a building (like Forest Products on County Road C and Highway 61) or perhaps
a lot with a steep slope that the builder must stay away from to construct a building, thereby
limiting the developable area of the site.
In this case, however, there are no unique physical circumstances with the property. The
applicant's building is just too large to fit the site with the limitations of the zoning code. These
limitations are the requirement for a 75-foot side yard setback from. the west lot line and the
50 percent impervious surface area coverage limit. A smaller building could meet setback
requirements, would require less parking and could meet the maximum impervious area
requirement.
The applicant would need to reduce the amount of impervious surface area by 3,894 square feet
(building, asphalt, sidewalk) to meet the 50 percent maximum lot coverage requirement. It is
difficult to determine what size of building the applicant could build under the rules. It depends
on how much floor area would be used as sales floor and how much would be warehousing. As
an example, though, an approximate building size, with enough parking to meet the code, would
be 5,500 square feet in area. This size building would need 17 parking spaces (assuming half
of the building would be showroom and the other half warehousing).
Spidt and Intent
If meeting the "spirit and intent" of the code was enough to satisfy the state law, staff would feel
reasonably comfortable with the proposed westerly setback. This is because the west side of the
proposed building jogs in 15.5 feet. This 15.5-foot jog lessens the visual impact of the building
2
as viewed from the west. If the entire building was 50 feet from the west lot line it would cause a
greater visible impact to the neighbor.
Drainage Plan
This site is within the shoreland boundary of Round Lake, a Class 5 water. The code requires
that property within a Class 5 shoreland have no more than 30 percent impervious surface
coverage: A site can have buildings and hard surfaces up to 50 percent impervious, however, if
the applicant provides an on-site method for stormwater treatment. The applicant is proposing
an infiltration pond to meet this requirement. Chris Cavett, the Maplewood Assistant City
Engineer, has reviewed the plans for the pond and has accepted the pond design. Mr. Cavett
recommended rainwater-garden plantings in the pond area, however.
Site Plan Concerns
The number of proposed parking spaces meet code requirements (23 required and 23
proposed). The handicap-accessible parking space should be revised, however, to comply with
ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements. This requires an eight-foot-wide handicap-
parking space with an adjacent eight-foot-wide cross-striped loading area.
The westerly access ddve is too narrow. This must be widened to 24 feet for parking space
access (code requirement). If the parking spaces are not needed, perhaps they could be omitted
and the drive aisle left at 16 feet as shown for dock access. The applicant would need a parking
waiver from the city council to omit these spaces, however.
Building Design
The applicant is proposing flat concrete block as the pdmary extedor material. The community
design review board (CDRB) has not allowed 8- by 16-inch flat block as a primary matedal for
many years. There are decorative block alternatives available. Staff has discussed this with the
applicant. The applicant's architect suggested using all rock-face block with precolored flat block
for the accent stdpes.
Staff suggests that the CDRB not take action on the building exterior unless they review, and
accept, an alternative to the fiat block. The applicant also stated that they would bring in color
samples for the board to review.
Landscaping
Staff feels that the applicant should provide a six-foot-tall decorative wood fence along the entire
west lot line as a buffer for the neighbor to the west. The proposed trees would be attractive, but
spaced at 15 feet on center would not provide the six-foot-tall and 80 percent opaque screening
the code requires.
The five fir trees that are shown along the west lot line should be moved to supplement the small
mugho pines proposed. Two of the fir trees should be placed on the south side of the building
and the other three along the service road frontage.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Deny the proposed rezoning from R1 (single dwelling residential) to BC (business
commercial). Denial of this rezoning is because of needed site plan revisions. As proposed,
the site plan would require two variances that are not justified.
B. Deny the 25-foot side yard setback variance for the proposed 50-foot setback from the west
lot line. (The code requires 75 feet.) Denial of this vadance is because:
1. Strict enforcement of the code would not cause undue hardship because of
circumstances unique to the property. The building proposed is simply too large.
The property can be put to reasonable use if used under the conditions allowed by the
official controls. The applicant could meet setback requirements with a smaller building
that would fit the site better.
Deny the proposed 13 percent impervious surface area variance from the shoreland
ordinance which would allow 63 percent land coverage. The code requires that the applicant
cover no more than 50 percent of the site with building, asphalt and concrete (impervious
materials). Denial of this vadance is because:
1. Strict enforcement of the code would not cause undue hardship because of circumstance
unique to the property. The building proposed is simply too large.
The property can be put to reasonable use if used under the conditions allowed by the
official controls. The applicant could meet the lot-coverage requirements with a smaller
building that would fit the site better.
Deny the plans date-stamped September 11, 2000 for Carpet Court at the northwest comer
of Larpenteur Avenue and Arcade Street. Denial of the plans is because staff is
recommending denial of the proposed rezoning from R1 (single dwelling residential) to BC
(business commercial) and denial of the two site-plan variances.
CITIZENS' COMMENTS
I surveyed the 22 property owners within 350 feet of this site. Of the two replies, one was in
favor and one was opposed.
In Favor
On the basis of the information we received from you, we have no problem with the granting of
the requested variance. (Pastor Koch, Gustavus Adolphus Church, 1669 Arcade Street)
Opposed
We do not want the building put up, it is too big and will be too much noise and traffic. The land
is too small for a warehouse and showroom. Please do not let them put it up. Let us know when
you have a meeting on this. Thank you. (Palme, 1721 Arcade Street)

Code Requirement
Section 36-28(c)(6)(b)(2) of the city code requires that buildings with between 2000- and
2999-square feet of extedor wall-surface area facing a residential lot be set back 75 feet from the
adjacent residential lot.
Section 36-566(3)(a) of the city code requires that within the shoreland boundary of Round Lake,
a "Class 5" water, no more than 30 percent of the site shall be covered with an impervious
surface. A site can have impervious area up to 50 percent if the applicant provides an on-site
method for stormwater treatment.
Criteria for Variance Approval
State law requires that the city council make the following findings to approve a variance from the
zoning code:
1. Stdct enforcement would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the
property under consideration.
2. The vadance would be in keeping with the spidt and intent of the ordinance.
"Undue hardship", as used in granting of a variance, means the property in question cannot be
put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. The plight of the
landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property, not created by the landowner, and the
variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations
alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists under the
terms of the ordinance.
Application Date
We received these applications on September 11, 2000. On October 17, 2000, the applicant
asked us to stop work on his applications so he could consider making plan changes. On
November 2, 2000, Mr. Blair phoned and asked us to proceed with his original request.
He chose not to revise them.
State law requires that the city take action within 60 days of receiving complete applications for a
proposal. City council aCtion is required on this proposal by January 2, 2001.

Answer to question #2 of the filing requirements.
The rezoning of this property will vastly improve the property of which we
have made application. The property currently is a vacant lot adjoining 2
commercially rated lots. When purchased, it was all sold to us as one unit.
When reviewing the property surrounding the lot in question, the property to
the North is operated with commercial rating by Bacchus Homes. To the south
there is a church and its adjoining parking lot and to the east, the two
commercial lots we own.
Prior to our purchase of the lot, it had been used for the purpose of storing
vehicles for sale. The property had not been maintained in that the grass had
been allowed to grow and quite frankly it had been an eyesore in the
neighborhood. Maple trees have been designated for planting making the rear
portion of the property parklike in nature. The work will be completed by a
professional landscape developer. The adjoining property which is located on
Arcade Street is already zoned for the commercial environment and the
majority of the building will be situated on that parcel of land. Our building
will be an asset to the neighborhood both by the clean lines created in the
building itself, the landscaping surrounding the property and the parking
facilities which will be maintained by the busirtess housed therein.
The business will be a decorating studio. We are a well established business
located in St. Paul and have operated in our current location for approximately
22 years. The products to be marketed to the residents of the area include
floor coverings of all types, window treatments, wall coverings, cabinets and
counter tops as well as ceramic tile for all areas on the home. We operate a
rather quiet business and currently are open 2 evening per week. We are also
closed on Sunday. Business traffic would be generated primarily during regular
business hours.

Answer to question ~fl of the filing requirements.
The building proposed for this property will vastly improve the property of
which we have made application. The property currently is a vacant lot
adjoining 2 commercially rated lots. When purchased, it was all sold to us as
one unit. When reviewing the property surrounding the lot in question, the
property to the North is operated with commercial rating by Bacchus Homes. To
the south there is a church and its adjoining parking lot and to the east, the
two commercial lots we own.
Prior to our purchase of the lot, it had been used for the purpose of storing
vehicles for sale. The property had not been maintained in that the grass had
been allowed to grow and quite frankly it had become an eyesore in the
neighborhood. Maple trees have been designated for planting in our landscape
design making the rear portion of the property parklike in nature. The work
will be completed by a professional landscape developer. The adjoining
property facing Arcade Street is zoned for the commercial environment and the
majority of the building will be situated on that parcel of land. Our building
will be an asset to the neighborhood both by the clean lines created in the
building itself, the landscaping surrounding the property and the parking
facilities which will be maintained by the busirless housed therein.
The back of the building which is proposed for the property is divided into two
sections. The warehouse section sits 50' from the rear of the lot and is 20' in
height, with an exposed wall of 1338 square feet. A 20' height requirement is
essential for the warehouse area due to the fact that a forklift is required for
the storage of floor covering products. There is also another section of the
building which is offset from the warehouse portion and sits 65' from the rear
of the lot and has 1220 square feet exposed. The total exposure is 558 sf over
your allowance, that is if the 1220 sf offset is not taken into consideration.
Because of the offset, it visually reduces the appearance in the size of the
building.
We are unable to move the building forward on the property due to city
regulations and set-back requirements, as well as parking requirements which
are met in the building plans as they are outlined for the City of Maplewood.
13
If we are unable to obtain a variance for this building, we would be in a
position where we would have to eliminate the entire warehouse structure to
comply with your requirements and that would give us no reason whatever to
build. We are currently operating on the East Side of St. Paul and our current
showroom has no warehouse. That is the primary reason for relocating our
business in your community.
The business will be a decorating studio. We are a well established business
operating in St. Paul for over 26 years, and have operated in our current
location for approximately 22 years. The products to be marketed to the
residents of the area include floor coverings of all types, window treatments,
wall coverings, cabinets and counter tops as well as ceramic tile for all areas
on the home. We operate a rather quiet business and currently are open 2
evening per week. We are also closed on Sunday. Business traffic Would be
generated primarily during regular business hours.

Answer to question #1, sub division "a" regarding wetland variance of the
filing requirements.
In our construction plans, we have complied with the majority of restrictions
recommended by the City of Maplewood, however it seems that we are a little
over the requirements outlined for coverage of the property with parking &
building coverage. We have attempted to keep the building and it's surrounding
parking lot within the requirments you have outlined and believe that we did
out best for meeting our needs as well as those of the City. The amount of
overage amounts to only 13% and that overage is due to meeting the
requirements for parking, curbing, and sidewalks for the building as outlined.
To compensate for the overage, we have planned to install an oversized holding
pond with an overflow connecting into a 60" storm sewer as you will note on
the drawings which have been submitted. This oversized holding pond will care
for the water run off from the building and land and we have been assured by
the Civil engineer that it is more than adequate for the size of the building
being constructed.
The water drainage from the parking area in the front of the building is being
diverted to an existing culvert for run off. This culvert has cared for the water
run off of the property to date, and our civil engineer assures us that it is
adequate for the amount of water run off we can expect with the parking areas
planned as outlined on the plans submitted.
Strict enforcement of the requirements for wetland coverage will make the
property unbuildable for our purposes. Our warehouse area covers
approximately 4,000 sq.ft, of area. To meet the wetland requirement would
facilitate the necessity of eliminating the total space outlined for the
warehouse as you have required over 3,800 of land mass to be left uncovered.
There will therefore be no alternative than to forfeit the building in lieu of
receiving the variance.
We hope that this variance will be accepted by the City of Maplewood as we
desire to move ahead on this building project. We know that the entire area
will be enhanced by the improvements to the property and that the value of the
surrounding properties will enhanced as well.

planning and zoning ordinances is very interesting to me and directly applicable to Local
issues. The community of Maplewood has special challenges due to the extensive boundaries
and dynamic growth within its borders.
5) Listotherorganizations orclubsinthe Communityin which you have been orare an active pa~icipant:
I have actively participated in neighborhood programs since my family and I moved to
Maplewood. We quickly formed a neighborhood watch group and have been block captains
ever since for our area. Both my wife and I have "graduated" from the Maplewood Citizen
Academy sponsored by the city's police department. I am also an active member of a local
church and its outreach programs (Joseph's Coat and food shelf programs).
6) Why would youliketo serve onthis Board or Commission? First, I want to participate in my communit
and continue to make Maplewood an excellent place to live and raise a family. I believe that
citizens have a responsibility to involve themselves in their local government to facilitate
continued con, unity development. Second, I have an undergraduate degree in Geography that
includes courses in community development and urban geography. I also have a Masters degree
in Political Science that includes courses in local government. My practical expe~ience is
in working with zoning administrators as a graduate assistant. My role as the coordinator
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: for the Minnesota Association of County Planning and Zoning
Administrators was to develop professional accreditation
programs, seminars, and newsletters for the association. I have extensive recent experience
in facilitating a major building project between the city of Mankato, Blue Earth County,
and the Minnesota National Guard. I facilitated discussion, design, funding, and approval
of this $7.5 million facility. The project was a cooperative effort between federal, sta~,
and local officials and staff.
