Feed Products North-Conditional Use Permit Revision and
Design Review
1300 McKnight Road
March 23, 2010
SUBJECT:
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
John Fallin, owner of Feed Products North, is proposing to build a 1,997 square foot
addition to an existing building located on his 30 acre site. The addition would
approximately double the size of the existing 30-foot by 35-foot building.
Requests
Mr. Fallin is requesting approval of:
. A conditional use permit (CUP) revision to remodel and construct an addition to an
existing building. The city code also requires a CUP for structures in M1 (light
manufacturing) zoning districts that are closer than 350 feet to a residential district.
The proposed addition is within 350 feet of a residential district and there already is a
CUP for the site. The applicant is also requesting the existing CUP be revised to
remove the conditions of approval that require an existing trailer to be removed from
the site before any future development can occur.
. Design plans.
BACKGROUND
On November 28, 1998, the city council made several approvals for the expansion of
Bulk Storage including:
1. A conditional use permit (CUP) for the existing Bulk Storage site. A CUP was
necessary because:
a. The proposed shipping-dock addition would be closer than 350 feet to the
abutting residential districts. The proposed shipping-dock addition would be
120 feet from the residential district to the north and 195 feet from the
residential district to the south. The code requires a CUP for buildings in an
M-1 (light manufacturing) district that would be closer than 350 feet to a
residential zone.
b. Of the outdoor storage on the site. The city code requires a CUP for the
outdoor storage or display of goods or materials. Presently there are
landscaping supplies stored west of the main building and roofing supplies
stored at the east end ofthe site. Maplewood had never been granted a CUP
for outdopr storage at this site.
2. A CUP for a new office building between Lakewood Drive and McKnight Road.
The city required the CUP because the office building would be closer than 350
feet to the abutting residential districts. The proposed office building would be
310 feet from the residential district to the north and 59 feet from the residential
district to the south. This building was never built.
3. A parking waiver to have fewer parking spaces than the number required by
code. For a building the size of Bulk Storage, including the proposed addition,
the code requires 109 paved parking spaces (83 for the large building, 12 for the
Phase 1 shipping-dock addition and 14 for the Phase 2 shipping-dock addition).
4 Plan approval for the proposed building addition and new office building.
On July 12, 1999, the city council approved a revised CUP for the owner of the site to
add a trailer to the warehouse property.
On August 27, 2001, the city council approved a one-year time extension for the
conditional use permit (CUP) for this site.
On August 26, 2002, the city council approved a one-year time extension for the CUP for
this site.
On August 11, 2003, the city council approved a one-year time extension for the CUP for
this site.
On August 23, 2004, the city council approved a one-year time extension for the CUP
and approved a license agreement with the property owners. This agreement is so the
city crews may cross the property with trucks and equipment to city-owned property that
is east of Bulk Storage.
On August 22, 2005, the city council approved a one-year time extension for the CUP for
this site.
On January 26, 2009, the city council approved a lot division to split the Feed Products
site into two lots. The undeveloped lot is to the west of the main Feed Products parcel
on the other side of Lakewood Drive. The new parcel was approved for an office
building and has its own CUP that is not related to this request. Instead of building a
new office building on the new, separate parcel, the applicant is proposing to expand the
existing scale building. The parcel west of Lakewood Drive has been recorded with
Ramsey County and is a legal, separate lot.

DISCUSSION
Conditional Use Permit Revision
',:
Office addition
The applicant is proposing a 1,997 building addition. The addition and remodel of the
existing building is needed, according to the applicant, due to the age, size and function
of the current building. Staff does not have any concerns with the proposed addition to
the existing building and does not foresee any issues arising due to the expansion.
To the north of the site there are Manage B wetlands that require a 75-foot buffer. This
addition is well beyond the required 75 feet, therefore there are no wetland impact
concerns. There are no other environmental concerns as the proposed addition is being
built on an area that is mostly impervious, except for a narrow three-foot strip of grass on
the west side of the existing building.
Existing Trailer
The applicant is requesting that the city council revise the CUP to allow the trailer as a
permanent structure. Though it was first intended as a temporary structure, the
applicant has found he needs it as office space for his business. Staff does not object to
this since the trailer is well concealed from homes and from streets. Furthermore, staff
has never received any complaints about the trailer. The trailer has been completed
with skirting and is kept in good repair.
The applicant is requesting the trailer become a permanent part of the CUP approval. If
the city council were to approve this revision request the trailer would not limit future
development of the site but the city could still use the CUP as a tool if any issues arise
from the trailer. Staff feels the trailer is adequately screened from the residential
properties surrounding the site.
Architectural and Site Considerations
The proposed office building is attractively designed with the building design modeled
after a 1900s train depot. The exterior would consist of galvanized corrugated metal
with several stone columns. The roof is proposed to be built with galvanized corrugated
metal but the applicant has also indicated that dark brown asphalt shingles could be an
option as well. A large portion of the building will be outfitted with a natural cedar deck.
Staff finds the proposed additional and remodel to be an upgrade to the existing facilities
on site. Also given the secluded nature of the site, staff also finds the impact of the
nearby residential areas to be minimal. The decision to model the building after a
historical train depot is a nice nod to the site's location and history.
Staff has no concern with landscaping, traffic or parking. The proposed building, though
possible to view from the bridge, would not be easily visible due to traffic speeds and its
separation and distance from Lakewood Drive. Landscaping, therefore, would not serve
to enhance the appearance of the building for neighbors or from streets. Staff feels that
3
landscaping could be provided should the applicant wish to provide some for his own
close-up view. The proposed addition would not cause any increase in traffic and the
applicant is proposing to provide ten parking spaces which would adequately serve his
needs. The CUP currently states the applicant does not need to provide a paved
parking area. Since.;the applicant is proposing 10 spaces, staff is recommending
revising the CUP to require any parking spaces be on a paved surface and be striped.
Though not required due to a previously approved parking waiver, the 10 proposed
parking spots would meet the code requirements for the proposed 1,997 square foot
building.
There is no proposal for any new site lights. Entry lights should be designed so they do
not exceed the parameters of the city's lighting ordinance. Standard front-door type
lights should cause no more problem than those on a single dwelling. If the applicant, at
some time, adds an outdoor trash container that is visible to neighbors or from streets,
code would require that he provide a screening enclosure.

RE: Conditional Use Permit
We are requesting approval of C.U.P for the addition and remodel of our existing office facilities located
at 1300 McKnight RD North.
The existing structure due to age, is inadequate in both size and function to serve the needs
of Feed Products North.
The proposed expansion will create a 1997 sq/ft building that will serve Feed Products North
adequately for approximately the next ten years. .
The current building is located on a 33 acre parcel, which is zoned M-1 Ught Industrial.
The architectural design ofthe proposed building is a replica of an early 1900's train depot,
Which considering the proximity to the adjacent railway lines would be in keeping with the
Character of the property.
The proposed facility would conform to the City of Maplewood':s criteria for approval of Conditional
Use Permit with no deviation from the City Code's. .

Rezoning from M1 (light manufacturing) to R2 (double dwelling
residential)
2095 Prosperity Avenue
March 30, 2010
TO:
FROM:
LOCATION:
DATE:
INTRODUCTION
On January 25, 2010, the city council adopted the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, This is
the update of the city's comprehensive land use plan required of all metro area cities
every ten years, By approving this plan, the city council reestablished the long-range
land use guide for the city, State law requires that the city now revise our zoning maps
and zoning ordinance controls to be in conformance with the newly approved land use
classifications throughout the city,
The city has nine months (by October 25, 2010) to make all necessary zoning map and
zoning ordinance changes to coincide with the land use policies and land use maps in
the approved 2030 Comprehensive Plan,
Proposal
One such rezoning would be for the property located at 2095 Prosperity Avenue, This
property is currently zoned M1 (light manufacturing), The recently approved land use
classification for this property is LDR (low density residential),
State law requires that the city council change the zoning of 2095 Prosperity Avenue to a
residential classification, The options are either R1 (single dwelling residential) or R2
(double dwelling residential) to match the low-density residential land use plan
designation, Either zoning would be appropriate since they both allow single dwellings,
This would match the current use of the lot. Staff suggests R2 zoning for compatibility
with the lots to the west which are also currently zoned R2, Refer to the maps,
Request
Rezone the above property from M1 to R2,
BACKGROUND
On December 9, 2009, the Metropolitan Council gave final approval to the 2030
Comprehensive Plan,
On January 25,2010, the city council adopted the 2030 Comprehensive Plan,
DISCUSSION
Statutory Requirement
Section 473,865 subdivision 3 of the Minnesota State Statutes requires that cities amend
their official zoning controls within nine months of their adopting their revised
comprehensive land use plan, As stated above, the city council has until October 25,
2010 to amend all applicable zoning maps and zoning ordinances,
The Low Density Residential Land Use Classification
The council reclassified 2095 Prosperity Avenue from M1 to LDR in the land use plan for
compatibility with the current land use. This property will need to be rezoned to R1 or
R2 for consistency with the comprehensive land use plan, Staff is recommending R2
zoning for compatibility with the abutting properties to the west Either zoning would be
appropriale, however, since the existing single dwelling use would be allowed in either
R1 or R2 zoning districts. R2 zoning would also allow the optional use of this lot for a
single or double dwelling,
Property Tax Impact
Residents have asked what would happen to their property taxes if their zoning changed
to mixed use, The Ramsey County Tax Assessor's office stated that, "z oning has no
affect on property tax, Tax classifications are based on the current use of the property,
not on the zoning, The tax classification, along with the market value is used to
calculate taxes: If the current use is continued, the tax classification will not change,
So, zoning changes will not affect taxes," Therefore, a change to R2 would not increase
property taxes,
Conclusion
State statute requires that the city rezone this property to a residential zoning compatible
with the LDR land use classification, Staff is recommending the city council rezone this
property to R2 to be compatible with the zoning of the adjacent lots to the west which
would allow the property owner an expanded use of his property in the future and would
fit the current single-dwelling development of the property,
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the resolution rezoning the property located at 2095 Prosperity Avenue from M1
(light manufacturing) to R2 (double dwelling residential), This rezoning is based on
Minnesota Statute 473,865 subdivision 3, requiring the city to bring the zoning of this
property into conformance with the recently adopted low density residential
comprehensive land use plan classification,

. Parcel south of the Regal Car Wash (White Bear Avenue and County Road C) has two
zonings-F (farm residential) and BC (business commercial), Land is guided for C
(commercial), Entire Darcel should be rezoned to BC,
. Emma's Place and Van Dyke Townhomes on Van Dyke Street, north of County Road B
have split zoning: R3 (multiple dwelling) near Van Dyke Street and BC on the back of the
property, The BC areas should be rezoned to R3,
. Also along Van Dyke Street, the Kindercare playground is zoned R3 but guided C
(commercial), This zoninq should be chanqed to BC to match the quide plan,
. Vacant land north of Gonnemara Condominiums is guided for Medium Density Residential
but zoned F (farm), This zoninq should be chanqed to R3 (multiple familv residential),
Zoning Map Revisions Needed
Of the four following bullet points, the first reflects an incorrect transfer of zoning information
from when the zoning informalion was transferred from paper maps to the electronic format.
The next three are changes that were approved, but were not shown on the zoning map,
. South side of County Road C between Duluth Street and English Street, and along the west
side of the English Street cul-de-sac south of County Road C, These are all single-family
residential lots but were mislabeled M1 (light manufacturing) instead of R1 (single dwelling)
when the switch was made from paper zoning maps to electronic,
. The Comforts of Homes Senior Housing site at Highway 36 and Hazelwood Avenue was
rezoned to PUD (planned unit development), but the map was not revised,
. The Pond Overlook residential development on the north side of County Road D east of
White Bear Avenue was rezoned to PUD. The map needs to be changed from F (farm
residential) to PUD,
. The Gethsemane Senior Housing site was rezoned to PUD, The map needs to be changed
from F to PUD,
These are all administrative corrections that staff will make, No other action is required,
Government Land Uses
At the last planning commission meeting, the planning commission raised a question about
properties that are guided for "government" in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, but do not have a
similar or matching zoning category. Maplewood does not have a government zoning district.
Rather, government uses are allowed by a conditional use permit (CUP) in any zoning district in
the city, This means the government land use category in the Plan is consistent with every
zoning district by CUP.
The importance of having a government property guided as such in the comprehensive plan is
that if a government entity decided to sell off a piece for private development, the city council
would have to approve any change in use with a super majority vote, since it would entail an
amendment to the comprehensive plan, The 2030 Comprehensive Plan provides the city with
this extra layer of security through the government land use category,
