PUBLIC HEARING 7:10 p.m. 2009-2013 Capital Improvement Plan Acting City Manager Chuck Ahl presented the staff report, explaining that there are $76 rnillion in projects and improvements included in this proposed plan. Mr. Ahl said this capital improvement plan includes only a one-half percent increase in proposed spending and the reason for this is that the city does not have the funds to do what staff has identified as needing to be done. Mr. Ahl discussed the projects that will not be done and are not included in this capital improvement plan due to lack of funds. Commissioner Trippler said in reference to Mr. Ahl's comment that Maplewood's residential values have decreased four percent, that he recently met with a realtor who advised him that metropolitan area residential values have decreased by nine percent. Mr. Ahl responded that Ramsey County's residential values have decreased by nine percent, but Maplewood's residential values have decreased by four percent. Commissioner Martin questioned staff as to how the projects are prioritized and deferred. Mr. Ahl responded that it is a combined effort of using city staff's knowledge and experience. Mr. Ahl explained using the. example that all streets are evaluated and rated by city engineering staff every three years, with the worst rated streets being repaired the first year of the plan. Commissioner Yarwood asked how state aid funding is dispersed and if it can be used only for designated projects. Mr. Ahl responded that state aid projects can be ninety percent bonded and state aid funds can be used only for the specific project designated. Commissioner Hess asked what the funds designated for Gladstone Savanna would be used for. Mr. Ahl responded that the city has received a Pollution Control Agency grant to do an environmental analysis and cleanup of the chemicals left in the railroad yard area of the savanna. Commissioners asked questions regarding some specific city projects and asked staff to explain how projects are financed and budgeted and the project bonding process. Staff responded with the information requested. The public hearing was opened for comments from the public. There were no comments. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Pearson moved to approve the 2009-2013 Capital Improvement Plan. Commissioner Trippler seconded The motion passed. Ayes - all Commissioner Yarwood said he wanted to inform the city council that he feels strongly that the city needs to make a significant, upfront investment in the Gladstone area phase one project in order to see this project move forward successfully. Planning Commission Minutes of 05-06-08 -3- VI. NEW BUSINESS a. 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update - Land Use Plan Review and Discussion Planner Ken Roberts presented the staff report and mentioned that a site analysis form is included for commissioners to prioritize their top ten features to be considered for impact on future development. Commissioner Yarwood noted that there is considerable confusion within the city council, commissions and staff regarding the precedence of the land use plan designations versus the zoning designation for consideration of a property and that this fundamentally changes the comprehensive plan process. Mr. Yarwood said that until this issue is ruled on and answered legally, there should not be further comprehensive plan discussion. . Commissioner Pearson said he agrees with Mr. Yarwood on this issue and referred to a past discussion on Hillcrest redevelopment where there was confusion with what designations take precedence. Planner Roberts responded saying that part of the process of the comprehensive plan update is to review parcel by parcel to eliminate inconsistencies between land use and zoning designations of sites. Rose Lorsung of MFRA explained she discussed with the city attorney the issues with the land use and zoning designation precedence. Ms. Lorsung said that the Land Use Planning Act, administered and enforced by the Metropolitan Council, documents that the residential how-much question is addressed in the comprehensive guide plan and not the zoning district. Ms. Lorsung suggested that the city attorney be requested to issue the commission a memorandum with information regarding the matter of land use versus zoning. Ms. Lorsung asked commissioners for comments regarding the text description designations provided to the commission and the need for discussion on neighborhoods. Ms. Lorsung suggested the rural low density development range be revised from .5-1 unit per acre to 2.5 units per net acre for sewered areas. Commissioner Fischer mentioned that a few of the older developed neighborhoods have existing one- acre lots with some of the side streets having one-half acre lots. Ms. Fischer said that in preserving the character of the neighborhood, the existing one-acre lots be looked at with low density mixed rather than with a standard low density. Commissioner Yarwood commented that he would like the second sentence of the rural density residential description declaring "that it is not intended to have a full complement of publiC services" stricken. Mr. Yarwood said that he feels there is an intent to keep the semi-rural feel to some areas of south Maplewood. Mr. Yarwood explained that he is not necessarily in favor of a two-acre lot minimum in the south Maplewood area, but would prefer to maintain flexibility to encourage other options such as clustering development to minimize the footprint. Ms. Lorsung responded that this flexibility is what the city needs and will be accomplished through the zoning district. Commissioner Fischer asked whether there should be a higher use density than the mixed use and high density housing designation since the medium density housing designation allows for housing to be stacked. Ms. Lorsung responded that the range of the use would be adjusted to a more suitable number to be allowed. Planning Commission Minutes of 05-06-08 -4- It was decided that the commissioners would review the proposed text designation information and submit their written comments to either Mr. Roberts or Ms. Lorsung. Ms. Lorsung said she will compile the commissioners' suggestions of the top ten features for the city's use to impact future development and she will submit a list of the results ranked by importance to the commission at the next meeting. b. 2008 Annual City Tour Planner Ken Roberts confirmed the date of June 30 for the annual city tour. Mr. Roberts asked the commission to review the list of tour sites and let him know of any suggestions or changes. VII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None VIII. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS None IX.

ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 p.m. MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: SUBJECT: PROJECT: LOCATION: DATE: Acting City Manager Ken Roberts, Planner Conditional Use Permit Revision and Design Approval Salvation Army Facility Expansion 2080 Woodlynn Avenue May 13, 2008 INTRODUCTION Request The Salvation Army, located at 2080 Woodlynn Avenue, is proposing to expand their building. They want to add space for administrative and office functions on the northeast comer of the building and additional storage space on the west side of the building. To do so, they are requesting city approval of a revision to their existing conditional use permit (CUP). The city code requires a CUP for churches or places of worship in any location and for day care facilities in F (farm residential) districts. Refer to the applicant's statement and the attached maps starting on page eight. BACKGROUND December 22, 1986: The city council approved a land use plan change from R1 to C (church), a conditional use permit (CUP) for the Salvation Army Church and for the adult day care facility. The city followed this approval with annual CUP reviews. October 8, 2001: The city council approved a CUP revision for the applicant's expansion plans subject to all construction following the approved site plan and construction starting within one year. October 14, 2002: The city council reviewed this CUP and moved to review it again in one year. October 13, 2003: The council moved to review the CUP only if the applicant proposes a change or if any problem arises. October 22, 2007: The city council approved a CUP revision for this site to allow for the addition of a child day care operation as part of their facility. (See the city council minutes starting on page 21). DISCUSSION Conditional Use Permit Revision The proposed building additions would add space for administrative (office) functions and for storage space. The Salvation Army is not proposing any changes to the adult or child day care operations that they now operate at this facility. As proposed, these changes will not negatively affect the site or the neighborhood. Design Review Building Design As noted in the applicant's statement, they are proposing to use materials and colors in the additions that will make this project compatible with the existing building. The proposed materials include buff-colored masonry units with blue glazed block accent stripe and reddish brown masonry units with a blue stripe for the storage area. (Please see the separate project plans and colored elevation for more details about the proposed building exterior.) Staff agrees that the proposed building additions would be compatible with the design and materials of the existing facility. Parking There should not be any parking issues created by the proposed building additions. All day-care participants are transported to and from the site by parents or busses. Therefore, parking for the center is only needed for the employees and guests. The church requires one parking stall per four seats. With 225 seats in the church, the city code requires 57 parking spaces for that use in the building. There are 86 existing parking stalls. Two of them are handicap accessible. The parking is more than adequate for the adult day care center, the child day care use, the church and the additional office space. Engineering Department Comments Steve Kummer of the city engineering department reviewed the project plans and provided staff with several comments about the proposal. Please see his notes and comments starting on page 19. Building Department Review David Fisher and Nick Carver of the city building inspection department reviewed the project plans and offered several comments. I have included their comments on page 18. Assistant Fire Chief/Fire Marshal's Comments Butch Gervais commented that the applicant does adult day care and the building has a complete fire protection system with alarm and smoke detections. He noted that the facility is in compliance with his requirements. Project Summary The proposed building additions will not cause any negative impact on this neighborhood. There is substantial parking available on the site and the exterior changes to the building would match the existing building and would not affect the neighbors. 2 RECOMMENDATIONS A. Adopt the resolution starting on page 24. This resolution approves a revision to the conditional use permit for the Salvation Army Church, located at 2080 Woodlynn Avenue. This change is to allow for the revision of their approved site plan to allow the expansion of their building. The city should approve this CUP revision based on the findings required by the ordinance.

Project Plans (Separate Attachments) 7 Attachment 1 March 13, 2008 SALVATION ARMY - LAKEWOOD TEMPLE 2080 W oodlynn Avenue Maplewood, MN 55109 NARRATIVE The Lakewood Temple is in need of additional office space for administrative use and a permanent storage area for their yard equipment and gym equipment overflow. The office addition is proposed at the northeast corner of the existing building and occupies approximately 2,916 Sq.Ft. The storage area is proposed to be placed on the west side ofthe building and is tucked into a recess between the Chapel and the dl,Ullpster enclosure and is approximately 37' x 17' or 629 Sq.Ft. The exterior of both additions will match the existing building fa9ade. The office will be the buff colored masonry units with the blue glazed block accent stripe and the storage area shall be the reddish brown colored masonry units with blue stripe. The office addition will have mechanical equipment on the roof and it will be painted to match the building. There is no equipment proposed on the roof of the storage area. The addition will have 2 small ornamental type trees to be removed. These will be replaced along the north side of the addition with new ornamental crab variety trees and we will install both coniferous and deciduous type shrubs along the east and north side ofthe office addition. Both the east and north walks at the office addition will be replaced. We have also included a rain garden on the north side of the addition to handle the increase storm water run off. Neither ofthe additions will alter or impede the existing topography. The west addition (storage area) does not effect the storm drainage as it is mostly replacing impervious areas existing. APPLICANT'S STATEMENT 8 March 13, 2008 Salvation Army-Lakewood Temple Narrative Page 2. The new storage area will result in the removal of the wood utility shed that now is on the west side of the building. The parking on this site was designed for the church services on Sunday and far exceeds the need for additional parking as the office staff does not work when the church services are being held. No increase in staff is intended with the new office addition. The parking lot surface is to be redone and the lot re-striped with the new sizes for accessible standards. As the existing main entry to the Temple is remaining, the accessible parking shall remain in the same location. We are replacing the sidewalks along the east and north sides of the addition to permit construction and to conform to the accessibility standards as well as the north entry. We are also adding a new hi/low drinking fountain in the north wing as part of this new project. The change in striping for the handicap parking should also be noted as part of the requirements for upgrading the accessibility as required by the State Building Code. We believe that this request for the additions will meet all the criteria for approval ofthe Amended Conditional Use Permit as listed in the Conditional Use Application form. We the Salvation Army thank you for your consideration of our request.

The city requires signed architectural plans be submitted for the building permit. Ensure that the project design allows for adequate Fire Department access to the buildings. - The proposed additions must meet all current Minnesota State Building Code requirements. The building is required to be fire sprinklered. City staff recommends having a pre-construction meeting with the contractor, the project manager and the city building inspection department. - There may be a SAC (sewer availability charge), WAC (water availability charge) and PAC (park availability charge) required for the expansiop of the building. 18 Attachment 11 Salvation Army Addition 5-7-08 Page 1 of2 EnQineerinQ Plan Review PROJECT: PROJECT NO: COMMENTS BY: DATE: PLAN SET: Salvation Army Addition 08-05 Steve Kummer, P.E. - Staff Engineer 5-8-08 8.5x11 CUP Review Form Dated 4-25-08 The Lakewood Temple of the Salvation Army is proposing to add a 2,422 square foot building addition for office space and a 632 square foot addition for storage space along the west side of the building. They also will be eonstructing new sidewalks and a rain water garden to handle the runoff from the new addition. Also, they are proposing a bituminous overlay for their existing parking area. Storm Water HvdroloQv and Pondinq/lnfiltration Basins 1. Please provide a grading plan and storm water volume and runoff computations for the rain water garden. The rain water garden will need to be designed to infiltrate the first one (1) inch of runoff from the new impervious surface being added to the building. Also, overall runoff rates from the site cannot increase as a result of the new building additions. 2. It appears from the proposed plans that the parking lot will be overlaid. If the operation is to be a mill and overlay of the parking lot either in whole or in part or if any portion of the parking lot paving needs to be removed or otherwise disturbed, then storm water treatment and infiltration facilities must be provided to infiltrate and treat the first one (1) inch of runoff from the disturbed impervious surfaces. Use of a pervious pavement section either in whole or in part of the parking lot will be acceptable as a treatment, infiltration and rate control measure. 3. It appears that the outlet from the rain water garden will discharge across a new walkway. This is an unacceptable condition and the project designer shall revise the project plans to change this project element before the city issues a permit for the project. 4. The contractor shall not drive or operate any construction equipment in or over the area of the rain water garden. Construction Site Sediment and Erosion Control Plan / SWPPP 1. Please include a sediment and erosion control plan with your site grading plan. Provide inlet protection for the two catch basins in the parking lot and adequate erosion control measures (I.e. silt fencing, biologs) for the down-slope areas around the proposed addition. 2. A Wimco catch basin insert or approved equal shall be provided for all curb-inlet catch basins, proposed or existing, and shall be installed on catch basins adjacent to the site as well as within the site. The project plans shall include a corresponding installation detail for this. 19 Salvation Army Addition 5-7-08 Page 2 of 2 3. The project designer shall place a note on the erosion plan indicating that the contractor shall sweep all streets sustaining construction tracking at the end of each construction day. Street sweeping shall be accomplished by a rotary pickup sweeper such as an Elgin Pelican or approved equal. 4. Any disturbance of one acre or more necessitates a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The approved grading and erosion & sediment control plans shall be incorporated into the SWPPP. A copy shall be provided to the City. 5. The contractor shall restore rip rap at all pond outlets and shall be placed to the bottom each ponding area. Utilities 1. The applicant or project representative shall submit the plans to the Watershed District for review. The City shall be copied on the permit or approval letter. 2. The project plans should show any proposed lighting either in the parking lot or on the building. Geometrics and Pavinq 1. All curb drop-downs for handicap access shall be provided from the parking lot to the newly placed sidewalks. 2. Driveway access from Woodlynn Avenue shall be a minimum width of 24 feet. Landscapinq/Plantinq Plans 1. Refer to comments or contact City Naturalist Ginny Gaynor regarding the rain water garden plantings. 2. Refer to comments or contact Enviommental Planner Shann Finwall regarding tree removals/replacements. Miscellaneous 1. The Owner shall submit an escrow or letter of credit to the city for 125% of the proposed improvements. 2. The owner shall sign a maintenance agreement, prepared by the city, for all stormwater treatment devices (list devices i.e.... sumps, basins, ponds, etc). The city shall prepare this agreement. The owner or applicant shall sign this document before the city building department issues a certificate of occupancy. The applicant shall submit 8.5 x 11 exhibits with all on-site storm water treatment measures shown individually. 20 Attachment 12 MINUTES MAPLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL 7:00 p.m., Monday, October 22, 2007 Council Chambers, City Hall Meeting No. 19 A.

Implementation of this type of zoning would occur after the city adopts the updated Comprehensive Plan. Staff and the city consultants want to continue the discussion and review of the land use plan with the planning commission. DISCUSSION Members of the Planning Commission have directed the consultants to take an innovative approach in the Comprehensive Plan to maintaining south Maplewood's rural character while also efficiently using land and limiting the cost of infrastructure. In response to this desire, MFRA asked the members of the Planning Commission to rank their priorities as to what characteristics they want the city to maintain or enhance in south Maplewood. City staff and consultants will use this recommended information in the Comprehensive Plan document. Below is a compilation of the worksheets that the planning commission members filled out. We determined the order of the list by considering the number of members who marked each category and the average rank of each. 1. Efficient Use of Land 2. Low-Impact Development 3. Natural Habitat Corridors 4. Wetlands Protection 5. Cluster Development 6. Large Wooded Areas 7. Nature Preserves 8. Infrastructure Costs 9. Density 10. Stormwater/lmpervious Surface 11. Trails Connections 12. Tree Preservation 13. Prairie Restoration 14. Active Parks 15. Slope Buffer/Preservation 16. Lot Sizes 17. Historic Preservation 18. Additional Shoreline Buffers 19. Passive Parks 20. Affordable Housing 21. Energy Efficiency 22. View Shed/Corridors 23. Group Septic Systems At the May 6 meeting, the Planning Commission also received 13 maps detailing proposed future land use in each of the City's neighborhoods. We asked the members of the planning commission to look for any areas or parcels that they believe should have a different land use designation. If you believe that the consultants have mislabeled any parcels, please give those corrections to city staff. For areas or parcels where you believe there should be a land use or policy change, please be prepared to discuss these during the meeting on Tuesday. With and such changes, please consider the impact future land use can have on redevelopment, surrounding land uses, tax base expansion, and growth. ,!~~ On"o.F"lHf'LLH'OOD 2030 CO,lIPREHENSfFEPJ.AN 2030 Comprehensive Pian City of Maplewood We also will preview the May 22 Open House along with other "Next Steps" during the next planning commission meeting.
