DESIGN REVIEW
a. Maplewood Square Comprehensive Sign Plan - 1860 - 1890 Beam Avenue
Ms. Finwall said Welsh Companies, Inc., leasing agent for Maplewood Square, is proposing a
comprehensive sign plan to ensure consistent wall signage for the eight Maplewood Square
tenants. The plan calls for one to three wall signs per tenant, to be placed above each tenant
space. The existing freestanding sign will remain the same.
Board member Shankar said the conditions state letters or Iogos must be 51,,~'' deep. He asked
if it was acceptable to have larger letters or Iogos?
Ms. Finwall said the letter depth was recommended by Maplewood Square at 51,~'' deep, so the
depth of the letters or Iogos must not exceed 5~".
Board member Olson asked if deep meant wide or from the face of the building?
Ms. Finwall said deep meant the distance from the face of the building to the front of the letters
or Iogos.
Board member Olson asked what the reason was for individual letters, a single unit sign would
be considered a cabinet sign.
Ms. Finwall said this type of signage is called individual letters to ensure it is not a cabinet style
sign.
Board member Olson asked if there was an advantage to individual letter signs?
Ms. Finwall said in her opinion, individual letter signs are more aesthetically pleasing than the
cabinet style. Welsh Companies recommended the individual letter signs.
Board member Olson said she objects to signs being removed or modified from a building
leaving holes in the fa(;:ade, which cannot be easily patched.
Ms. Finwall said Maplewood Square is proposing to use a sign band, which these signs can be
adhered to and removed from.
Chairperson Ledvina asked if the comprehensive sign plan covers window signage?
Ms. Finwall said Maplewood Square is bound by the city's sign code, which would allow up to
75% of a window area to be covered by signage.
Board member Olson asked if that was referring to permanent signage as opposed to
something that can be painted on the window glass?
Ms. Finwall said it pertains to temporary signs only.
Board member Shankar asked if the individual letters on the sign are illuminated?
Community Design Review Board
Minutes 9-11-2003
Ms. Finwall said the applicant is initially proposing all signs be illuminated. If future signs are
not illuminated the applicant has indicated they would like the letters as fabricated aluminum,
2-inches deep and painted black.
Board member Olson asked if this would be reviewed in 2 years?
Ms. Finwall said the standard language in any design review board item is to review the project
in two years if the city has not issued a sign permit for the project. If the Maplewood Square
did not construct the requested signs within two years they would have to come back to the
board for a comprehensive sign plan review. In this case the tenants at Maplewood Square are
very anxious for their new signs and will be working with a sign company to implement the plan
as soon as possible.
Chairperson Ledvina asked the applicant to address the board.
Ms. Leigh Anne Brakee, at 7807 Creekridge Circle, Bloomington, representing Welsh
Companies, addressed the board.
Chairperson Ledvina asked the applicant if she had any concerns relating to the staff report
and the conditions outlined by city staff?
Ms. Brakee said no she did not.
Board member Olson wondered about the sign band and if they would be applying a backer
board, which the letters could be adhered to as opposed to drilling multiple holes into the
building facade for each individual letter?
Ms. Brakee said in the original plans that was not included, however, that is something that
was brought to their attention and they will be getting new pricing including the raceway so that
the letters are easily removed as opposed to leaving the holes.
Board member Shankar asked about the raceway?
Ms. Brakee said it would be a long metal strip painted to match the stucco. Letters would be
adhered to the raceway.
Chairperson Ledvina asked if Welsh Companies have any window sign requirements for the
tenants?
Ms. Brakee said she did not believe so. The permanent signage is what Welsh Companies
are allowing in this comprehensive sign plan.
Chairperson Ledvina said the ordinance outlines a 75% window coverage. In the future the
ordinance will be modified to reduce that. He asked if they would be amenable to a reduced
percentage of window signage such as 50%?
Ms. Brakee said she believed so.

Chairperson Ledvina said he thinks the remodeling of the Maplewood Square looks very nice
and is a big improvement. In his opinion the window signage should be reduced from 75% t~,
50%.
Board member Longrie-Kline agreed that the Maplewood Square looks very nice and is a big
improvement to the area.
Board member Olson moved to approve Welsh Companies' comprehensive sign plan for the
Maplewood Square multi-tenant building located at 1860 - 1890 Beam Avenue with the
following conditions: (changes to the conditions by the board during the 9/11/03 CDRB

Ayes - Ledvina, Longrie-Kline,
Olson, Shankar
The motion passed.
b. Auto Glass - 2310 Hazelwood Street
Chairperson Ledvina asked staff if there would be a representative for Auto Glass available to
answer questions?
Ms. Finwall said there was not a representative for Auto Glass available this evening, however,
they did contact staff and left a phone number where they could be reached in case there were
questions. The applicant also brought in a sample of block for the board to review,
representing the color and texture of the block used on the proposed building.
Chairperson Ledvina said that was appropriate and staff could continue with their presentatio~
Ms. Finwall said due to the deteriorating condition of the existing Auto Glass building at 2310
Hazelwood Street North, Auto Glass is proposing to demolish their building and construct a
new, larger building on the site. Auto glass will close their current business at the end of the
summer and place a temporary office trailer on the site to house two customer service
representatives until the construction of the new building is complete in the spring of 2004.
Board member Olson asked if there were any other product samples for the board to review?
Community Design Review Board
Minutes 9-11-2003
Ms. Finwall said no.
Board member Olson asked if the sample of block would be used by the front door or by the
garage doors of the proposed building?
Ms. Finwall said the sample of block provided would be used around the garage doors.
Board member Shankar asked if the block used on the office and garage door area will be
split-faced rock?
Ms. Finwall said yes they both will be split-faced rock but will be different size blocks.
Board member Longrie-Kline asked staff if the temporary office trailer was in place for more
than 10 months without the required foundation would there be a penalty to Auto Glass
Specialists?
Ms. Finwall said Auto Glass would have to sign an agreement with the city's building official on
the proposed time line for the trailer. If the trailer remained longer, the building official would
take appropriate actions.
Board member Longrie-Kline asked why a foundation would be required for the temporary
trailer on the site?
Ms. Finwall said according to the notes from the building official if the temporary structure is
used for more than 6 months a foundation would be required as part of the building code and
that is one of the reasons Auto Glass Specialists would like this process stepped up so they
would only need the temporary trailer for 6 months or less.
Board member Longrie-Kline said if a foundation is needed what would the foundation be
made of and how would you remove the foundation once the trailer is no longer needed?
Ms. Finwall said in the original proposal they were going to install the temporary trailer this fall
and remove it next summer, which staff estimated would be about 10 months. The removal of
the foundation is something that would be dealt with in the building permit and would add
additional expense.
Board member Longrie-Kline said it sounds like Auto Glass Specialists would like the
temporary trailer to be there no more than 6 months because of the added expense of building
a foundation if the trailer were to be there longer?
Ms. Finwall clarified staff recommended that a foundation is required if the temporary trailer
was there for more than 6 months as per the building code.
Chairperson Ledvina asked how many locations this proposed building design for Auto Glass
Specialists is built? He is trying to get an idea of how many sites they have built this building a*
to reflect the photo of the Osceola Wisconsin site using the building products in the photo.
Ms. Finwall said Osceola, Wisconsin, and perhaps Lakeville, Minnesota.
Community Design Review Board
Minutes 9-11-2003
'7
Board member Longrie-Kline asked if the applicant expressed why they had a concern that
there be additional brick or color on the north and west side of the building?
Ms. Finwall said Mr. Whitney indicated that Auto Glass Specialists would like to present a
standardized image. They prefer not to alter their building because this is their chosen image
and there is an added expense.
Board member OIson stated the applicant indicated they would be willing to alter the
landscaping around the site, correct?
Ms. Finwall said yes the applicant stated they would alter the landscaping as staff has
recommended.
Board member Shankar said he would approve the addition of additional landscaping along
the outside walls in lieu of brick banding along the exterior of the building.
Ms. Finwall said when she read the staff report she did not have the photo of the Auto Glass
building located in Osceola, Wisconsin. After looking at the photo it appears that the north
elevation is not lacking landscaping but she would be concerned with the elevation facing the
residential area,
Chairperson Ledvina said the existing building looks fine to him. He understands the applicant
wants a drive thru scenario with a garage. The current building fits into the neighborhood but
he is concerned about the proposal for the new building with the red roof and the height of the
garage area in this residential neighborhood. He is concerned with how this building compares
with the existing building and the neighborhood. He asked what the zoning is on the west side
of Hazelwood Street?
Ms. Finwall said the zoning is residential and is to remain residential.
Board member Olson asked what was to the east of this property?
Ms. Finwall said a wetland is to the east.
Chairperson Ledvina said he would agree with the staff that high quality brick materials should
be used with views that face the residential area. In his opinion this proposal will be 11/2-to-2
times taller than the existing building that is currently there.
Board member Olson said she does not have a problem with this proposal. In her opinion this
area is very flat and many of the homes are only single story. Therefore, she has no objectior~
to having a building higher than the residential area homes. She said the red roof is a bit
shocking but as long as the building is facing Highway 36 the impact of the building exterior is
softened for the neighbors on the other side of Hazelwood Street she is fine with this proposal.
Board member Shankar has a concern with the vertical panels as shown on the plans. He
prefers the vertical panels as shown in the photo provided, as opposed to the plans indicated
in the staff report. He thinks it would be nice to add a single course of banding right below the
windows and extend the band along the north and west side.
Community Design Review Board
Minutes 9-11-2003
The board members agreed that adding the banding to all sides of the building would be a nice
addition.
Chairperson Ledvina asked board members how they felt about the red roof on the proposed
building?
Board member Shankar said as long as it is not really red he is fine with it. He suggested the
applicant submit a sample of the roofing material to staff to make sure it is not bright red.
Chairperson Ledvina said since this building is in a residential neighborhood he has a problem
with the standing seam metal red roof. He imagines the other two Auto Glass sites are in more
of a commercial area compared to this area, which is residential.
Board member Longrie-Kline asked the chair what roof color he would be comfortable with?
Chairperson Ledvina said he would be comfortable with a brown or green roof, which would
reduce the impact of a metal roof in a residential neighborhood.
Board member OIson asked if the neighbors were sent a survey aSking if they had any
concerns regarding a new building being built?
Ms. Finwall said a survey was sent to the neighbors, but they were sent the plans and were
invited to the CDRB meeting. The city also placed a development sign on the site with the
community development telephone number for more information.
Chairperson Ledvina asked the board if the recommendations could be made in two motions?
The board agreed.
Board member Shankar moved to approve the installation of a temporary office trailer at 2310
Hazelwood Street for use by Auto Glass Specialists until the completion of their new facility
with the following conditions: (changes to the conditions by the board during the 9/11/03
CDRB meeting are underlined if added and stricken if deleted):
ao
The applicant must submit a written commitment to agree to remove the temporary
office trailer within ten months, before obtaining a building permit. The temporary office
trailer must then be removed within ten months after installation.
The applicant must submit elevations of the proposed temporary office trailer for staff
approval prior to issuance of a building permit. -
Co
The applicant must submit a revised site plan showing the temporary office trailer
installed on the north side of the lot, location of existing and proposed buildings, and
location of temporary parking stalls on the existing parking lot.

Mixed-Use Zoning District
City of Maplewood
Along White Bear Ave., North of Larpenteur Ave. and South of Ripley Ave.
October 8, 2003
INTRODUCTION
Background
October 27, 2002, the city council approved a one-year development moratorium for the Hillcrest
Village redevelopment area so that staff could draft zoning and design standards based on the
Metropolitan Council's "smart-growth" development principles. Over the last six months staff has
been receiving comments and guidance from the planning commission and community design
review board (CDRB) on the drafting of these principles. Staff has now compiled all comments
into a draft ordinance, which staff is calling the mixed-use zoning district. This zoning district will
allow for a mixture of land uses and is intended to promote the redevelopment of an area into an
urban center with compact, pedestrian-oriented commercial and residential uses. The mixed-use
zoning district could be implemented in the Hillcrest Village redevelopment area, as Well as other
areas of the city, such as the Gladstone neighborhood, where there is a need for redevelopment
to create a revitalized, urban village setting.
Timeline
To ensure the city council reviews the proposed ordinance by the moratorium deadline of
October 27, 2003, staffs goal is to present the mixed-use zoning district to the city council for
their review at the October 27, 2003, city council meeting. Prior to the city council authorizing the
rezoning of the Hillcrest Village redevelopment area to the mixed-use zoning district, staff will
present the ordinance to all property owners located in the Hillcrest Village redevelopment area
for review and comments. Rezoning of the city's first mixed-use district in the Hillcrest area
should then take place by the end of this year.
DISCUSSION
The CDRB and planning commission commented on different areas of the proposed ordinance as
follows:
Community Design Review Board
· Dimensional Standards
· Design Standards
· Landscaping
· Lighting
· Signs
Planning Commission:
· Uses
· Parking
· Subdivision Requirements
· Density
A brief summary of the CDRB's review topics follows:
Dimensional Standards
Staff was originally proposing a 15- to 25-foot front-yard-setback for single dwellings and a 10- to
25-foot front-yard-setback for double dwellings. Because of concerns expressed by the CDRB
regarding such minimal front yard setbacks, particularly for dwellings built on busier streets, staff
is now proposing to increase those setbacks to 20 to 25 feet for both single and double dwellings.
Side yard setbacks for single and double dwellings were also increased from the originally
proposed 0 setback to 5 feet. Multiple dwelling setbacks, alternatively, have been decreased
from the originally proposed 15- to 25-foot front-yard-setback to 0 to 20 feet, which will be
comparable to the mixed-use and commercial building setbacks.
The new zoning district will allow commercial and mixed-use buildings to be constructed up to all
property lines (0 setback), except when the commercial or mixed-use building is adjacent to a
mixed-use-zoned residential use, in which case the setback is increased to at least 6 feet; or
when a commercial or mixed-use building is adjacent a non-mixed-use-zoned residential use (i.e.,
R-l), in which case the building must comply with the city's existing setback requirements for
commercial buildings adjacent residential, which is a minimum of 50 feet and a maximum of 100
feet depending on the size of the wall. During the planning commission's review of the ordinance,
they requested that a mixed-use-zoned residential use that is adjacent a non-mixed-use-zoned
residential use comply with the setback requirements of the non-mixed-use-zoned residential
district (i.e., in this scenario mixed-use-zoned residential units adjacent non-mixed-use-zoned
residential uses would have to maintain a side yard setback of 10 feet and a rear yard setback of
20 percent of the lot depth).
Design Standards
One suggestion made by the CDRB was the incorporation of Calthorpe's Hillcrest Village Urban
Design Standards booklet into the ordinance. As you recall from our discussions, the new mixed-
use zoning district is being created for the entire city, to be used where the city intends to
promote the redevelopment of an area into a mixed-use urban center. For this reason,
incorporating the Hillcrest design standards booklet into the ordinance is not possible. Staff did,
however, include the following language in the purpose and intent statement: 'q'he placement
and treatment of buildings, parking, signage, landscaping, and pedestrian spaces are essential
elements in creating the pedestrian-friendly and livable environment envisioned by the city in an
area. To ensure these elements are achieved, basic design standards are included in the district,
which could be expanded by the city as a separate architectural overlay district for a particular
area." Many aspects of Calthorpe's design standards booklet could be used for an architectural
overlay district for Hillcrest Village. The detailed architectural overlay district, with illustrative
examples, will be reviewed by staff and presented to the CDRB after the adoption of the mixed-
use zoning district.
Mixed-Use Zoning District
October 8, 2003
The CDRB requested language regarding the maintenance of awnings, which has been added
into the ordinance. In addition, it was suggested that metal awnings be prohibited. Since that
time staff has viewed several metal or similar material awnings and found some to be quite
attractive. For this reason, staff is recommending that metal awnings be discouraged, unless the
design of the awning is compatible with the building.
Landscaping
The CDRB expressed concern over the requirement for landscape islands, which states, "at least
10 percent of the perimeter of a parking lot must include landscape islands." The concern was
over compliance of the landscape islands in smaller parking lots. Staff has added language that
requires only parking lots with 25 parking spaces or more must comply with this requirement.
Lighting
The CDRB expressed concern over the originally recommended height requirement for pdvate
freestanding lights of 15 feet. It was felt that this would be too Iow for recreational vehicles, two-
story homes, or garages with large roofs.
The new requirement specifies that all outdoor lighting be of a design and size compatible with
the building, and as specified in the city's outdoor lighting ordinance, except that light pole height
maximum is limited to 16 feet. The Minnesota Department of Transportation requires a 17-foot
clearance on state rights-of-ways for all light poles. The light poles defined in this ordinance,
however, relate to decorative parking lot lights, not overhanging streetlights. Staff feels that any
light pole over 16 feet would not meet the human-scale elements envisioned in the mixed-use
zoning district.
Signs
As requested by the CDRB, awning signs and readerboard signs will be prohibited in the mixed-
use zoning district. Also requested by the CDRB was the requirement for sign review by the
CDRB for all new developments, not just multi-tenant buildings as currently required by code.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the CDRB review, comment, and make a recommendation to the city
council on the attached mixed-use zoning ordinance.

Purpose and Intent: The purpose of the mixed-use zoning district is to provide areas in the City of
Maplewood with a mixture of land uses, made mutually compatible through land use controls and high-
quality design standards. With this district, the City of Maplewood intends to promote the redevelopment or
development of an area into a mixed-use urban center with compact, pedestrian-oriented commercial and
residential land uses that are within an easy walk of a major transit stop. The intent of the mixed-use
zoning district is to enhance viability within an area and foster more employment and residential
opportunities. The placement and treatment of buildings, parking, signage, landscaping, and pedestrian
spaces are essential elements in creating the pedestrian-friendly and livable environment envisioned by the
city in an area. To ensure these elements are achieved basic design standards are included in the district,
which could be expanded by the city as a separate architectural overlay district for a particular area.

The city shall allow commercial uses similar to the above if they would not create a nuisance and if they
are not noxious or hazardous. The city council shall review uses that are not clearly similar for
determination of compatibility.
Use definitions:
Drive-through sales and service: An opening in the wall of a building designed and intended to be used to
provide sales and/or service to patrons who remain in their vehicles.
Drive-up food or beverage window: An opening in the wall of a building or restaurant designed and
intended to be used to provide food and/or beverage sales, and/or food and/or beverage service to patrons
who remain in their vehicles. (THIS IS ALREADY DEFINED IN OUR BC-M ZONING DISTRICT)
Live-work unit: A dwelling unit in combination with a shop, office, studio, or other workspace within the
same unit, where the resident occupant both lives and works. Standards and conditions:
The workspace component must be located on the first floor or basement of the building, with an
entrance facing the primary abutting street.
The dwelling unit component must be located above or behind the workspace and maintain a
separate entrance located on the front or side fa(;ade and be accessible from the primary abutting
street.
The office or business component of the unit shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total gross
floor area of the principal dwelling unit.
A total of two (2) off-street parking spaces shall be provided for a live-work unit, located to the rear
of the unit, or underground/enclosed.
The size and nature of the workspace unit shall be limited so that the building type may be
governed by residential building codes. An increase in size or intensity beyond the specified limit
would require the building to be classified as a mixed-use building.
The business component of the building may include offices, small service establishments, home
crafts which are typically considered accessory to a dwelling unit, or limited retail associated with
fine arts or crafts. The business component shall be limited to those uses otherwise permitted in
the distdct that do not require a separation from residentially zoned or occupied property, or other
protected use. It may not include a wholesale business, manufacturing business, commercial food
service requiring a license, limousine business, or motor vehicle service or repair for any vehicles
other than those registered to residents of the property.

Motor vehicle convenience market: A place where gasoline, motor oil, lubricants, or other minor
accessories are retailed directly to the public on the premises in combination with the retailing of items
typically found in a convenience market or supermarket, with no minor motor vehicle repair or motor vehicle
washes.
Secondary dwelling: An additional dwelling unit located within and subordinate to the principal dwelling on
a single-dwelling lot, designed for a single occupant or small family. Standards and conditions for such a
unit shall include the following:
A secondary dwelling unit shall be located within a single-family dwelling or above its accessory
structure.
In the case of an addition to an existing structure, the exterior finish, roof pitch, windows, eaves and
other architectural features must be the same or visually compatible with those of the original
building.
The additional dwelling unit may not contain more than thirty percent (30%) of the principal
dwelling's total floor area or eight hundred (800) square feet, whichever is less.
There shall be no more than two (2) dwelling units on a lot.
At least one (1) dwelling unit on the lot shall be owner-occupied.
The minimum lot area shall be two thousand, five hundred (2,500) square feet greater than the
minimum lot area required for a single dwelling in the district.
Nonconformin,q uses: Uses that become nonconforming by adoption of the mixed-use zoning district would
be covered under the city's existing nonconforming ordinance. In summary, any pre-existing conforming or
nonconforming use that would become nonconforming by adoption of the mixed-use zoning district would
be allowed to remain until such time as the use of a building or land is voluntarily abandoned and ceases
for a continuous period of one year or more. In addition, the use may expand or intensify with the city's
approval of a conditional use permit.

residential use.
Off-Street Parking
Placement of surface parking:
Surface parking must be located to the rear of a principal building, or an interior side yard if parking
in the rear is impractical.
Surface parking must maintain a ten-foot (10') setback to the street right-of-way when constructed
on the side or rear of a building on a corner lot.
Surface parking must maintain a five-foot (5') side and five-foot (5') rear yard setback, unless a
nonresidential use adjoins a non-mixed-use zoned, residential use, in which case the required
setback as specified in Section 44-19(a) [landscaping and screening].
The city may approve variances to the surface parking placement standard if a building has special
needs and site constraints. In these cases, there should be good pedestrian connections between
the sidewalk and building entrance, and the area in front of the parking lot should be well
landscaped.
Amount of parking:
The minimum amount of required parking spaces shall be as specified in Section 44-17 [off-street
parking].
The maximum amount of surface parking spaces shall not exceed the specified minimum by more
than ten percent (10%), or two (2) spaces, whichever is greater. If additional parking is desired, it
must be placed underground, within an enclosed building, or in a tuck-under garage.
On-street parking located in front of a development may count toward the required number of
parking spaces.
For retail, medical, service and office uses, if a transit shelter is provided on site, then the minimum
required number of parking spaces may be reduced by five percent (5%), but not to exceed five (5)
parking spaces total.
For retail, medical, service and office uses, required parking may be reduced by the establishment
of a parking distdct for the purposes of sharing parking within one shopping area (i.e., varying peak
parking hours or availability of off-street public parking). The establishment of a commercial
parking district to allow a reduction in parking required shall be subject to review and approval by
the community design review board during the development's initial site plan review or subsequent
site plan changes.

Retail, medical, service and office uses may participate in a shared parking agreement provided
that it can be demonstrated that there will be adequate parking in combination with the other uses.
In addition to the above-referenced allowances for parking reduction, the city council may authorize
other reduced off-street parking requests through a special agreement. The reduction must be
based on proven parking data for a specific development.
Parkin,q space size:
90-degree parking: 9 feet x 18 feet
45-degree parking: 8.5 feet x 18 feet
Parallel parking: 8 feet x 21 feet
Design Standards

width, through articulation of the fa(;ade. This can be achieved through combinations of the following
techniques, and others that may meet the objective:
Fa(~ade modulation - stepping back or extending forward a portion of the fac,.ade.
Vertical divisions using different textures or materials (although materials should be drawn from a
common palette).
Division into storefronts, with separate display windows and entrances.
Variation in rooflines by alternating dormers, stepped roofs, gables, or other roof elements to
reinforce the modulation or articulation interval.
