v. PUBLIC HEARING
a. Wetland Buffer Variance and Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development
Request, The Shores at Lake Phalen Senior Housing Proposal by Kaas Wilson Architects,
940 Frost Avenue
Planner Martin presented the staff report for this request by Jack Rajchenbach and Albert
Miller of Maplewood Senior Living, LLC, to redevelop the 7.02-acre former St. Paul Tourist
Cabin site located at 940 Frost Avenue with a senior housing development. Planner Martin
said the project, to be called The Shores at Lake Phalen, will consist of 1 OS units of senior
housing in a three-story building with underground parking.
Ron Leaf, a consultant for the city, gave a presentation on the storm water maintenance
requirements and wetland improvements for this proposal.
Link Wilson, of Kaas Wilson Architects, was present representing the owners and developers.
Mr. Wilson gave a presentation explaining the request for variances is needed to preserve
many of the existing trees on the property. Mr. Wilson said they will be providing 30 cubic feet
of storage with shelves per resident in individual storage rooms in the building. Mr. Wilson
said they are requesting a 2S-foot setback variance from the wetland and they will be
improving the water quality of the wetland tremendously.
Commissioner Boeser asked where the loading and unloading will occur for this development.
Mr. Wilson said the loading and unloading for the kitchen will occur through the garage. Mr.
Boeser said the commission in the past has discussed requiring 10-foot parking spaces for
senior developments and asked Mr. Wilson his thoughts on the 1 O-foot spaces and what
would be their ability to move on the 1 O-foot spaces. Mr. Wilson responded that this facility
would not have independent seniors, but will serve only memory care and assisted living
seniors. Mr. Wilson said the parking spaces would generally be used by guests and staff. Mr.
Wilson suggested that 1 O-foot-wide spaces be designated for residents, staff parking be
underground and visitors use the 9 %-foot-wide parking spaces.
Commissioner Trippler said they are proposing to employ 120 people, but will have only S2
parking spaces. Mr. Wilson responded that there will be five shifts for the 120 employees. Mr.
Wilson said that at any given time there would be 18-20 staff parked and approximately 10
residents who drive. Mr. Wilson said that even if a granddaughter came with 20 visitors to see
her grandmother, he feels there will be adequate parking. In response to a question from Mr.
Trippler on staffing numbers, Mr. Wilson showed an overhead diagram and explained how the
building would be staffed.

Commissioner Pearson said he feels the above ground parking spaces need to be 10 feet
wide. Mr. Pearson said he feels the two designated handicapped spaces near the entrance is
not enough handicapped parking. Commissioner Pearson asked if soil borings were done on
the property previously. Engineer Michael Thompson responded that soil borings were done
and the applicant will be submitting a copy to the city. Commissioner Pearson asked for a
copy of the soil borings report when it is received.
Commissioner Trippler questioned whether a wetland can really be rejuvenated by man and
asked if the city has had any experience with this. Engineer Thompson responded
affirmatively and sited the Highway 61 and County Road B wetland that the Ramsey
Washington Metro Watershed District improved with dredging and sediment removal.
Ron Leaf, of Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District and consultant for the city,
presented information detailing improvements that have been made to wetlands in the area
and said that soil borings were then done on these wetlands to show they are improved.
Commissioner Boeser suggested that since this is a senior facility and for safety reasons, a
railing should be erected on the entire retaining wall.
The public hearing was opened to the public for comments. The following people spoke:
Mindy Mac Runnel questioned whether there will be enough parking for family celebrations
held at the facility.
Virginia Davis, of Frost Avenue and East Shore Drive, asked ifthere would be any walking
paths with this facility. Planner Martin responded that there is a trail planned for the west side
of the building from the sidewalk to Frost Avenue. Engineer Thompson explained that this trail
was proposed to be five feet, but the fire marshal has requested that it be a ten-foot drivable
surface. Mr. Thompson said there is a sidewalk running on the south side of the driveway
entrance on East Shore Drive that would be connected to a trail that is part of a public
improvement project.
David Hesley, 2607 White Bear Avenue, said he owns a 60-unit senior facility on Gervais
Avenue and a 70-unit facility with underground parking in Mahtomedi. Mr. Hesley said he
wanted to give feedback regarding parking concerns. Mr. Hesley said he has been an owner
of these facilities for 1S years and they have not had any issues at his facilities with the
number of parking spaces provided. Mr. Hesley said the majority of seniors at the facility do
not drive, so there is plenty of existing parking.
There were no further comments from the public; the hearing was closed.
Commissioner Yarwood moved approval of the conditional use permit resolution. This
resolution approves the conditional use permit for a 10S senior-housing planned unit
development with the Shoreland Overlay District of Phalen Lake. Approval is subject to the
following conditions:
a. The engineering department shall review and determine approval of all final construction
and engineering plans. These plans shall comply with all requirements as specified in the
city engineering department's June 7, 2010 review.
Planning Commission
Minutes of 06-15-10

b. All construction shall follow the plans date-stamped May 24, 2010 and with revisions as
noted in this approval. The city council may approve major changes to the plans. City staff
may approve minor changes to the plans.
c. The project is approved with 28 underground and 24 surface parking spaces. This is a
parking reduction of 1S8 parking spaces (210 parking spaces are required per city code.)
d. The project is approved with a 147-square-foot floor area reduction in the required unit
floor area for the memory care and assisted living studio units (S80 square-foot units are
required per city code; 433 to S78 square-foot units are proposed.)
e. The project is approved with a 20-foot front-yard setback along Frost Avenue for the one-
story dining room and kitchen portion of the building (30-foot front-yard setback required
per city code.)
f. The project is approved with storage space of not less than 30 cubic feet for the memory
care and transitional care units (120 cubic feet of storage area per unit required per city
code.)
g. All signs on the property must be approved by the community design review board.
h. Approval is conditioned on the owner constructing or funding a Gladstone neighborhood
entry monument sign at the intersection of Frost Avenue and East Shore Drive.
i. Approval is conditioned on the applicant implementing interior or exterior signage which
reflects the previous use of the property as the St. Paul Tourist Cabin site.
j. The approved landscape plan and tree preservation requirements shall be subject to
monitoring by city staff to assure compliance. Minor modifications to these plans shall be
subject to review by staff while major modifications shall require city council approval.
k. The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of city council
approval or the permit shall end. The city council may extend this deadline for one year.
I. The city council shall review this permit in one year.
Commissioner Trippler seconded
Commissioner Pearson suggested a friendly amendment to modify Item c. adding "1 O-foot" to
the 24 surface parking spaces requirement.
Commissioner Yarwood said he did not want to require all 24 spaces to be 1 O-foot-wide
spaces and thereby increase the impervious surface. Mr. Yarwood suggested language be
added to Item c. recommending but not requiring, that "the applicant seek to develop on
average, 1 O-foot-wide surface parking spaces."
Commissioner Pearson agreed with Commissioner Yarwood's suggested language for the
friendly amendment.
Planning Commission
Minutes of 06-15-10
-5-
The commission voted: Ayes - all
The motion passed.
Commissioner Pearson moved adoption of the resolution approving wetland buffer variances
from the Manage C wetland on the east side of the site. Approval is based on the following
reasons:
a. Strict enforcement of the ordinance would cause the applicant undue hardship because
complying with all of the wetland buffer requirements stipulated by the ordinance would
deplete the site area, substantially diminishing the development potential of this lot.
b. Approval of the requested wetland buffer variance would benefit the adjacent wetland
because the wetland is currently in poor condition and development of this site will allow for
rehabilitation of the wetland and buffer areas.
c. Approval would meet the spirit and intent of the ordinance since the proposed restoration and
mitigation of the wetland buffers will greatly improve the quality of the wetland.
Approval of this wetland buffer variance is subject to the following conditions:
a. All permits and approvals by the Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District will need to
be secured.
b. Satisfy the requirements set forth in the staff report authored by Mr. Thompson, dated June
7,2010.
c. Satisfy the requirements set forth in the staff report authored by Ms. Finwall and Ms. Gaynor,
dated May 28, 2010.
Commissioner Yarwood seconded
Ayes - Bierbaum, Boeser, Desai, Martin, Pearson,
Yarwood
Nay - Trippler
The motion passed.
Commissioner Boeser moved approval of the lot division request to subdivide the 7.02-acre
parcel located at 940 Frost Avenue. This lot division approval is subject to the following
conditions:
a. Satisfy the requirements set forth in the staff report authored by Mr. Thompson, dated June
7,2010.
b. Satisfy the requirements set forth in the staff report authored by Ms. Finwall and Ms. Gaynor,
dated May 28, 2010.
c. Submit to the city a revised plat showing the southern lot labeled as Lot 2, Block 1, and
showing the boundary line shifted to the south to meet residential density requirements as
determined by the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Subject to staff approval.

d. The applicant shall pay cash connection charges for the new multi-family lots for connection
to the water main and sanitary sewer main.
e. Deeds describing the two new legal descriptions, including the required trail, drainage and
utility easement descriptions must be drafted and stamped by the city. Ramsey County
requires this acknowledgment of approval to record the deeds. These must be recorded with
Ramsey County within one year of the date of the lot division approval or the lot split will
become null and void (city code requirement).
f. Prior to issuance of a grading or building permit for the new development on the new lots, the
following must be submitted to staff for approval:
1) Proof the Ramsey County has recorded the lot division.
2) A signed certificate of survey showing the location of all property lines.
3) Grading and drainage plan.
4) All necessary permits for sanitary sewer and water must be obtained.
Commissioner Trippler seconded
The motion passed.
Ayes - all
b. Wetland Buffer Variance, Goodwill Store Proposal by Kelco Services LLC, 2S80 White Bear
Avenue
Planner Tom Ekstrand presented the staff report for this request by Jim Kellison of Kelco
Services to demolish the two existing buildings at 2S80 and 2S82 White Bear Avenue and
replace them with a new Goodwill store. Planner Ekstrand again explained that the part of this
request by Mogren Landscaping to relocate to a temporary landscape storage site has been
removed from this item and will be considered separately at a later date.
Planner Shann Finwall presented information on the wetland buffer variances proposed.
Commissioner Trippler had a question regarding the parking required for this proposal and city
code requirements.
Jim Kellison of Kelco Services responded saying they have revised the required parking spaces,
based on a recommendation by the community design review board for 1 O-foot spaces, and they
are now proposing 76 10-foot parking spaces with proof of parking at 79 spaces. Mr. Kellison
gave a presentation explaining details on the wetland buffer variances requested and the
proposed drainage on the site.
Commissioner Boeser asked the applicant to explain the traffic flow in and out of the site. Mr.
Kellison noted the plan for entry and exit flow of traffic and said it may be possible for the semi
trucks to make deliveries at an off-peak time to help with traffic congestion.
The public hearing was opened for comments from the public. The following people spoke:
Planning Commission
Minutes of 06-15-10
-7-
David Hesley, 2607 White Bear Avenue, said he is part of the business and economic
commission. Mr. Hesley said Mogren Landscaping's temporary storage site was proposed to be
relocated behind his building and he suggested a forum to discuss the ramifications of this
redevelopment.
Commissioner Yarwood asked if the vision for Mogrens is to remain in this area or ultimately to
move somewhere else in Maplewood. Staff responded that Mogrens' temporary storage site was
initially proposed for the property south of the car wash.
Mayor Will Rossbach, 1386 County Road C East, spoke cautioning the commission not to have
discussion about something that is not on the agenda and to stick to discussing the Goodwill
request. Mayor Rossbach said the commission could be accused of using information that is not
relevant for making their decision and could cast aspersions on the commission's decision
making process.
Commissioner Martin suggested that since buildings are being demolished and businesses are
being displaced, the business and economic commission should review this request.
Commissioner Boeser disagreed with Mayor Rossbach saying that this agenda item will cause a
displacement of one of the current occupants and to take into consideration the domino effect of
what's going to happen with the current property and how it affects the landscape of the area.
Commissioner Yarwood agreed with Commissioner Boeser saying that it is within the purview of
the planning commission to take a broader approach and look at what is happening in the entire
area when evaluating the proposals.
Commissioner Boeser said the piecemealing of the series of events that are going to come down
the pipe are being piecemealed and proposed from a single source.
Commissioner Trippler asked for clarification on the approval of waivers regarding the wetland
buffer variances. Mr. Trippler said the lot has not changed since they looked at it and he does not
understand why it is an undue hardship for the applicant to comply with city ordinances. Staff
explained that it is always difficult to estimate what a "hardship" is, but in this instance there will
be improvements made to the buffer where there are none existing and secondly, it drastically
reduces the original buildable area.
Natural resource coordinator Ginny Gaynor said the wetland ordinance allows for averaging for
the hardship reason and asked if the wetlands have been calculated to see if they meet the
requirements under the wetland ordinance. Ms. Gaynor said that part of the goal of the wetland
ordinance pertaining to redevelopment is to make the wetland better and the wetland buffer
proposed for this project is a huge improvement.
Commissioner Trippler said he is in agreement with most of this project, but he will not support
variances when they exceed SO percent of the setback.
Jim Kellison spoke again saying that if averaging calculations were done on the entire wetland
setback from the property line, he is certain the setback would be well over SO feet.
There were no further public comments; the public hearing was closed.

Commission Yarwood said it is a nice proposal and a creative use of a challenging property and
he is comfortable with what he sees and he is supportive of it.
Commissioner Trippler moved approval of the parking waiver allowing the applicant to provide six
fewer parking spaces than city code requires.
Commissioner Boeser seconded Ayes - all
The motion passed.
Commissioner Boeser moved to strike the prior motion and second approved by the commission
and replace it with the following "approval of the parking waiver allowing the applicant to provide
fewer parking spaces than city code requires per the recommendation provided by the
community design review board.
Commissioner Trippler seconded
The motion passed.
Ayes - all
Commissioner Bierbaum moved adoption of the resolution approving wetland buffer variances
from the creek on the north side of the site and the Manage C wetland on the east side of the
site. Approval is based on the following reasons:
1. Strict enforcement of the ordinance would cause the applicant undue hardship because
complying with all of the wetland buffer requirements stipulated by the ordinance would deplete
the site area by approximately one half of its original size, substantially diminishing the
development potential of this lot.
2. Approval of the requested wetland buffer variances would benefit the adjacent wetland and
creek because the site is presently developed up to the wetland and creek edges.
3. Approval would meet the spirit and intent of the ordinance since the proposed restoration
and mitigation of the wetland and creek buffers will greatly improve the quality of the creek to the
north and the wetland to the east.
4. The Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District has approved the applicant's plans.
S. Approval of the wetland buffer variances shall be subject to complying with all of the
conditions of approval in the Environmental Review report by Shann Finwall, Maplewood
Environmental Planner and Ginny Gaynor, Maplewood Natural Resources Coordinator, dated
May 14, 2010.
Commissioner Pearson seconded
Ayes - Bierbaum, Boeser, Desai, Martin, Pearson,
Yarwood
Nay - Trippler
The motion passed.
Commissioner Trippler moved to combine the two lots currently addressed as 2S80 and 2S82
White Bear Avenue into one legally described property. The applicant shall provide evidence that
these lots have been combined as one before getting a building permit.

a. 2010 Tour Route
Planner Ekstrand explained the route for the upcoming summer tour and noted the Spoon Lake
neighborhood preserve and infiltration basin and Kohlman Park improvements have been added.
The commission suggested that the Gladstone redevelopment area be dropped from the tour and
the dinner break moved up to follow the second stop.
VIII. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
Mayor Will Rossbach said he is very much in favor of discussion of all of the ideas that the
planning commission has about various planning and development things in the city. Mayor
Rossbach said when he advises the commission to use caution, as he did tonight, it is because
he has sat as a planning commissioner for 14 years, has sat as a council member for six years,
and has received training experience on how to not get sued. Mayor Rossbach said the
commission cannot introduce evidence into the discussion and findings that have to do with
things not before the commission. Mayor Rossbach encouraged the commission to be on solid
ground with solid findings. Mayor Rossbach said he would discuss with the city manager getting
input from other commissions submitted before the planning commission schedules public
hearings.

Rolling Hills of Maplewood Mobile Home Park 1st and 2nd
Addition-Conditional Use Permit Revision
1316 Pearson Drive
Simple Majority Required for Approval of a Conditional Use Permit
June 30, 2010
SUBJECT:
LOCATION:
VOTE REQUIRED:
DATE:
INTRODUCTION
Thomas F. DeVincke, representing Mesa Dunes MHC Investors, LLC, the owners of Rolling Hills
of Maplewood Mobile Home Park, is requesting city council approval of a revision to the
conditional use permit (CUP) requirements for Rolling Hills 1" and 2nd Additions. The CUP for
both additions require that all homes brought into the park must be new homes. The applicant is
requesting that the park owner be allowed to move in used homes.
BACKGROUND
On October 25, 1982, the city council approved the CUP for the Rolling Hills 1 s, Addition. The
CUP for the 1 sl Addition was reconsidered on August 13, 1984 due to compliance issues during
the early stages of site development.
On May 11 1987, the city council approved the CUP for the Rolling Hills 2nd Addition.
There were many annual or subsequent reviews that followed to monitor CUP compliance during
the development years. (Refer to the attached current conditions of approval in the
Recommendation. The current conditions for both phases are included.) Please note that
Condition 12 of the 1984 minutes and Condition 6 of the 1987 minutes require that all homes
must be "new."
DISCUSSION
The applicant's reasons for this amendment as stated in his letter (attached) are:
. Requiring only new homes is not consistent with the current use of the property.
Permitting used homes is more consistent with the properties present use.
. The city's building code officials retain the ability to inspect any homes to be moved into
Rolling Hills.
. Rolling Hills has a track record showing that it takes great care to ensure the aesthetic
quality of the community.
. Federal law provides that state or local requirements or standards must not affect the
uniformity and comprehensiveness of the standards promulgated under this section.
. State law and court determinations provide that zoning controls enacted by any
legislative body must apply equally to manufactured and site-built homes. In this case,
the city has singled out manufactured homes for disparate treatment because both the
special and conditional use permits require that the manufactured homes in Rolling Hills
be "new" but places no similar requirement on other types of housing. Accordingly, both
these permits may arguably violate Minn. Stat. 394.25.
. It is safe to assume that the city's goal in restricting homes in Rolling Hills to "new"
homes was to ensure that the community did not become an eyesore for the city.
Maplewood is not home to many manufactured home communities, and there was likely
some trepidation on the city's part in dealing with this type of land use. Now I am
confident that the city has a very different perspective on manufactured home
communities. (Staff reply: There were four manufactured home parks in Maplewood at
the time Rolling Hills 1s' and 2nd Additions were developed. These were the St. Paul
Tourist Cabins and Manufactured Home Park, Town and Country, English Street south of
Frost Avenue and Beaver Lake Manufactured Home Park.)
. Rolling Hills is an expertly maintained community that, while overwhelmingly filled with
used homes, remains aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
Design, Aesthetics and Building Code
When Rolling Hills was developing, it made sense to require that all homes placed in the
development be new homes. Used homes placed in the park at that time would have set the
tone for a diminished aesthetic right from the start. Now after nearly 30 years in operation, it
makes sense to revise the CUP requirement that all homes to be placed in Rolling Hills must be
new ones. The applicant did not specify, though, if there should be an age limit on homes to be
moved into the development. Would 10-year-old homes be acceptable? Should 20-year-old
homes be allowed or even older ones?
The city's goal was initially to ensure good building aesthetics by requiring that all homes moved
in are new ones. However, currently the homes at Rolling Hills range from new ones to 28 years
of age. To pick a "home age" and say that replacement homes may not be any older than that
would be somewhat arbitrary. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a new home would be
compatible with existing older ones.
Perhaps a better way to determine home placement isto simply require that the home meet all
applicable building code requirements. Requiring code compliance is defensible if challenged
and not based on a guess of "how old is too old." The requirement for code upgrades will also
eliminate the older used homes since there could be substantial, costly improvements needed to
bring an old home up to code making it financially unfeasible.
2
Building Code
The building code requires that all manufactured homes placed in the city must comply with
Minnesota Rules Chapter 1350 for Manufactured Homes. These rules simply require that the
structure be fully in compliance with code requirements.
Rolling Hills Resident's Association Comments
Paul Ruby, the president of the Rolling Hills Resident's Association, stated that they would like
homes that are moved into Rolling Hills be no more than 12 years old. He feels that homes built
before 1998 used plumbing material made from polybutylene. Mr. Ruby stated that this is an
inferior product and that homes built after 1998 were installed with PEX, a better water-piping
material. He would like to try to eliminate polybutylene plumbing.
Conclusion
Staff supports the applicant's request to amend the CUP for Rolling Hills 1 sl and 2nd Additions to
allow used homes to be placed in the park. The homes must, of course, comply with all
applicable building code requirements as would any site-built house.
RECOMMENDATION
The following motion deletes unnecessary or already-met requirements and combines the
motions of the Rolling Hills 1 sl and 2nd Additions.
Adopt the resolution approving a conditional use permit revision for Rolling Hills of Maplewood
Mobile Home Park 1s' and 2nd Additions. Approval is subject to the findings required by
ordinance and subject to the following conditions (deletions are crossed out and additions are

Re: Follett Investment Propeliy / Rolling Hills of Maple wood MHC
Our File No. 9417.001
Dear Mr. Ekstrand:
I am writing in support of Follett Investment Management, Inc. 's request for an amendment
to the Special Use Permit issued by the City of Maplewood on or about October 25, 1983 with
respect to the Relling Hills First Addition (Exhibit A) and the Conditional Use Pem1it issued by the
City efMapleweod on er about May 11, 1987 with respect to the Rolling Hills Second Addition
(Exhibit B). Among other things, these pennits both required that "all mobile homes must be new,
skirted and lied down."
Follett Investment Properties, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 9462.35.95 and the Maplewood Code
of Ordinances, hereby applies for an amendment to the Special Use Permit and Conditional Use
Pennit allowing used manufactured homes to be moved into the Rolling Hills of Maplewood
maJ1Ufactured home community. I believe my client's application should be granted because the
152229.WPD
Page 1 ef 7
relevant considerations all weigh in favor of permitting used manufactured housing in the Rolling
Hills of Maplewood manufactured heme community.
Factual and Lel!:al Backl!:round
Rolling Hills of Maple wood is a manufactured home community consisting of approximately
325 home sites. Rolling Hills of Maple wood's first addition was originally developed in the 1982-
1983 time frame by the Pearson family. In or around 1987, it appears, based on the public record,
that Rolling Hills expanded and developed a second addition.
During its almost 28 years in operation, Rolling Hills of Maplewoed has been one efthe
premiere manufactured home community in the Twin Cities metrepolitan area. It boasts wide, paved
private streets, attractive signage, an improved stonn shelter, fully equipped common area
playgrounds and exemplary tree plantings tlrroughout the property. Rolling Hills of Maplewood
enforces strict home maintenance standards as well as home site mles designed to enhance the
aesthetic appeal of the community. A copy of the "Rolling Hills Community Lot Appearance
Standards" is attached hereto as Exhibit C. It is against this backdrop that the City should assess the
propriety ofthe present applications for an amendment to the Special and Conditional Use Pelmits.
A Milmesota city's comprehensive plan contains objectives, policies, standards, and programs
to guide public and private land use. Minn. Stat. S 473.859, Subd. 1. Cities adopt zoning ormnances
to execute the policies and geals of their land use plan. MiIm. Stat. S 462.357, Subd. 1. While
expressly authorized by a zoning ordinance, "conditional uses" require the zoning authority's consent
because of inherent hazards or location problems. Zylka v. City of Crystal, 167 N.W.2d 45, 28-9
(Minn. 1969). Despite this discretion, a city council may deny a conditionalllse pem1it on ly for
152229.WPD
Page 2 of 7
reasons relating to the public health, safety, and general welfare or for incompatibility with a city's
land use plan. Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc. v. City of Afton, 323 N.W.2d 757, 763 (Minn. 1982);
C.R. Investments, Inc. v. Village of Shore view, 304 N.W.2d 320, 234-35 (Minn. 1981).
I. The Proposed Conditional Use Permit Is Consistent With The Present Use Of The
Property.
Presently, Rolling Hills of Maplewood is a manufactured home community occupied by
approximately 320 manufactured homes. These hemes range in date of manufacture from 1983
through 2008. The majority of the homes in the community were manufactured in the 1980s. A list
of all homes, and their year of manufacture, is attached hereto as Exhibit D.
At the time of the 1983 Special Use Penllit, the City appears to have been concerned about
the character of the community and, as a result, the original Special Use Pel1nit required that any
homes in the cemmunity be "new". This requirement was alse included in the Conditional Use
permit issued a few years later.
Presently, however, requiring all homes moved into the community to be "new" is not
consistent with the current use ofthe Property. In fact, permitting used homes into the community
is more consistent with the Property's present use. Moreover, the City's building code officials
retain the ability to inspect any homes to be moved into Rolling Hills of Maplewood. Finally,
Rolling Hills of Maplewood's track record has established that it takes great care te ensure the
aesthetic quality of the community.
152229.wPD
Page 3 of 7
II. The Existing Restrictions On The Use Of The Property May Violate Federal And State
Law.l
Presently, the Special and Conditional Use Permits require that all manufactured homes in
the Rolling Hills community be "new".
42 U.S.C. S 5403 (d) provides:
whenever a Federal manufactured home constructien and safety
slamlard established under tlus chapter is in effect, no State or
political subdivision of a State shall have any authOlity either to
establish, or to continue in effect, with respect to any manufactured
home cevered, any standard regarding construction or safety
applicable to the same aspect of performance of such manufactured
home which is not identical to the Federal manufactured home
construction and safety standard. Federal preemption under this
subsection shall be broadly and liberally construed to ensure that
disparate State or local requirements or standards do not affect the
uniformity and comprehensiveness ofthe standards premulgated
under this section nor the Federal superintendence of the
mannfactured heusing industry as established by this chapter.
In this case, the Special and Conditional Use Permits appear to conflict with Federal law
by requiring exclusively "new" homes in Rolling Hills.
Minnesota Statutes S 394.25, subd. 3 provides in pertinent part: "No provision may prohibit
. . . manufactured homes built in conformance with SS 327.31 to 327.35 that comply with all other
zoning ordinances promulgated pursuant to this section." Further, an erdinance is invalid if it
contains expressed or implies terms that are irreconcilable with a Mimlesota statute.
Mangold
Midwest Co., v. Village a/Richfield, 143 N.W.2d 813,816-17 (Minn. 1966).
1 Follett Investment Properties, Inc., does not seek any remedy other than amendments to
the existing nse permits and it raises the argument regarding validity ofthe permits merely to
preserve those arguments for the record.
152229.WPD
Page 4 of 7
Accordingly, under the Court ef Appeals of Minnesota ruling in County of Wright v.
Kennedy, 415 N.W.2d 728 (Minn.App. 1987), tins section of both the Special Use and Cenditional
Use Permits may be deemed invalid. In Kennedy, the challenged county ordinance required
manufactured homes, but not other dwellings, to comply with certain roof pitch and minimum width
requirements. The Court held that the challenged ordinance was invalid because it applied only to
manufactured homes and not to site-built homcs and was, therefore, in conflict with Miml. Stat. ;)
394.25, the same statue invoke here by Prime Ventures. As the Kennedy Court stated, "the statute
required that site-constructed hemes and manufactured homes be treated identically. Zoning controls
enacted by any legislative body must apply equally to manufactured 8l1d site-built homes." 415
N.W.2d at 731.
In this case, the City has singled out manufactured hemes for disparate treatment because
both the Special and Conditional Use Permits require that the manufactured homes in Rolling Hills
be "new" but places no similar requirement on other types of housing. Accordingly, both these
permits may arguably violate Minn. Stat. ;) 394.25.
III. The Special and Conditional Use Permits' Restdctions On Used Homes No Longer
Serve Any Legitimate Governmental Purpose.
It is safe to assume that the City's goal in restricting homes in the Rolling Hills of
Maplewood commU1nty to "new" homes was to ensure that the community did not beceme an
eyesore for the City. I note also that Maplewood is not home to many manufactured home
communities, and there was likely some trepidation on the City's part in dealing with this type of
land use.
152229.WPD
Page 5 of 7
Now, as the thirtieth anniversary of Rolling Hills of Maple wood approaches, I am confident
the City has a very different perspective on manufactured home communities. Rolling Hills of
Maplewood is an expertly maintained community that, while overwhelmingly filled with used
homes, remains aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
IV. The Proposed Amendment Satisfied The City Of Maple wood's Criteria For Approval.
Of the ten enumerated criteria for approval relative to conditienal use permits, the instant
request either satisfies the criteria or the critelia is inapplicable. I will address the ten (10) criteria
in the order presented in the application materials.
1. The use would be located, designed, maintained, constructed and operated to be m
confonnity with the City's comprehensive plan and Code of Ordinances.
2. The use would not change the existing or planned character of the surrounding area.
3. The use would not depreciate property values.
4. The use would not involve any activity, process, materials, equipment or methods of
operation that would be dangerous, hazardous, detrimental, disturbing, or cause a nuisance
te any person or property, because of excessive noise, glare, smoke, dust, odor, fumes, water
or air pollutien, drainage water run-off, vibration, general unsightliness, electrical
interference or other nuisances.
5. The use would not generate any additional vehicular traffic on local streets and would not
create traffic congestion or unsafe access on existing or proposed streets.
6. The use is already served by adequate public facilities and services, including streets, police
and fire protection, drainage structures, water and sewer systems, schools and parks.
152229.WPD
Page 6 of 7
7. The use would not create excessive additional costs for public facilities or services.
8. The use would have no impact on the preservation of the site's natural and scenic features.
9. The use would not cause any adverse environmental effects.
It is my understanding that my client's application will be reviewed first by the City of
Maplewood Planning Cemmission prior to any consideration by the City Council. I will await word
of that Planning Commission hearing date. As for the enclosed checks, I calculate the application
fees and other charges as follows:
1. Application fee of$l,OOO.OO per application for a total of$2,000.00.
2. $46.00 per application to pay the County for recording a City resolution for a total of
$92.00.
Please let me know if any further fees are required.
In the meantime, if you have any questions er concems please contact me.

Planning Commission
Charles Ahl, Assistant City Manager
Public Hearing: 2011 - 2015 Capital Improvement Plan
June 30, 2010
INTRODUCTION
As part of the budget process, the City annually prepares a Capital Improvement Plan to help estimate
the major capital expenses and projects that will have an impact on the debt levels and levy
expenditures in the next 5-year period. The Capital Improvement Plan, or CIP, is a planning tool and
does not authorize projects or purchases, but allows the City Council to review these expenditures and
provide direction on the overall capital goals for the City. The staff has been working on various
requests and plans since March 2010. After establishment of goals by the City Council, the plan is
prepared and projects recommended, along with a list of the projects that, based upon the staff
recommendations, are deferred or listed as declined, which is also called unfunded needs.
The CIP is presented to the Planning Commission to conduct a Public Hearing on conformance with
the Comprehensive Plan. The City Council will consider adopting the Final CIP on July 26'h
SUMMARY
*NOTE TO COMMISSIONERS*:
The full version of the draft Capital Improvement Plan is available to view on the City's
webpage. For Commission members, who wish a full version of the CIP, please contact City
staff and a document will be printed for you. We are attempting to reduce the printing and
paper costs and making the document available electronically for review is part of the City
sustainability efforts. We have attached significant pages to this report for discussion.
The proposed expenditures are grouped by category of project. For example, equipment, parks,
redevelopment, etc. As shown on the attached chart, the total proposed CIP for 2011 - 2015 is
$65,735,385. The final chart lists the projects that were proposed by the staff, but due to funding
limitations are recommended to be deferred / declined. A total of $54,223,410 of projects deemed
necessary by the staff are recommended to be declined in the next 5 years. Included later in this
report is a list of the major revisions proposed by staff to meet the financial needs of a 0% capital
project funding increase.
The number of projects along with the dollar volume of projects in the declined list has more than
doubled from $21,409,872 in the 2010 - 2014 CIP to the current proposal. Over 40% of the staff
requests for projects are recommended to be deferred due to lack of funding. The overall level of City
debt is projected to decrease as part of this plan, from a proposed debt level of $76,157,297 in 2011
[which is slightly increased from the 2010 level of 74,922,297] to a project debt level of $65,974,630.
The reason for the high number of projects being declined / deferred is that the Council will need to
give direction on the level of tax increase or increased funding to the debt service fund. The plan
presented to the Council previously based upon a 5% levy increase did not provide for new funding
dedicated to new capital expenditures for either public improvement projects, capital expenditures at
City Hall, the MCC or other City buildings, or for new equipment. As the Council proceeds to debate
the requested expenditures during July along with giving direction on the allocation of any new funding
for 2011 and beyond, additional projects and/or expenditures at the MCC and City Hall will be
programmed into the final CIP document.

Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan has numerous sections that can be reviewed to be consistent with this
Capital Improvement Plan. The following comments are provided for consideration:
Sustainability/Environmental: This plan provides for a future investment in environmental projects.
1. Fire Training Facility: this project proposes to implement many of the provisions of the
Marshlands concept for the vacant MnDOT property at TH 5 and TH120. A grant from Ramsey
County will be dedicated to $750,000 worth of environmental cleanup of this site, along with the
introductions of wetland enhancement and trail improvements. A vision of an environmental
classroom that is part of the final fire facility is planned.
2. Wetland Enhancement Program: This program is proposed to continue, albeit at a much
reduced level from previous years. The numbers of wetlands to be improved will not likely
decrease due to the reductions in this program, as the focus for wetland enhancement has
been combined with the street improvement projects.
3. Fish Creek Open Space: this project provides for the protection of over 20 acres of the most
critical open space property on the former CoPar property by implementing a development of
the northern 25 acres to pay debt on the purchase of the open space property.
4. Gladstone Savanna Improvements: as part of Phase I of the Gladstone redevelopment
initiative at the Tourist Cabin Property, funds will be identified for the redevelopment and
cleanup of the Gladstone Savanna.
5. Street Improvement projects: as noted previously, these projects are the focus for the City's
effort to meet the storm water requirements of the City's NPDES permit. The projects will
implement an infiltration requirement and as neighborhoods approach an improvement and
reconstruction of their infrastructure, the environmental footprint of that neighborhood is
transformed into a more environmentally friendly impact.
Redevelopment:
1. Gladstone Phases I, II and III: the redevelopment initiative continues with three projects
planned in the next five years within the Gladstone area.
2. TH 36 - English Interchange: this major project will remove the signal on TH 36 at English and
replace it with an interchange with English Street above TH 36. This will provide an opportunity
to consider a redevelopment of the area beginning in 2014.
3. Hillcrest Redevelopment: this important project has not been funded.
4. Commercial Property Redevelopment: this important project has not been funded.
5. Housing Replacement Program: this important project has not been funded.
Recommendation
The Planning Commission should conduct a Public Hearing on the Capital Improvement Plan
proposed for 2011 - 2015. Upon completion of the Public Hearing, it is recommended the 2011 -
2015 Capital I mprovement Plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Planning
Commission should recommend adoption of the CIP by the City Council.

Mayer and City Council
Henorable Mayer and Council Members:
The 2011 - 2015 Proposed Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the City of Maplewood is submitted
herewith. The intent of this decument is to coordinate the planning, financing and timing of major
equipment purchases and censtructien projects. The document Is divided Inte four sectiens:
Introductien, Debt Capacity and Financing Strategy, Project Details, and Appendix.
The focus of this CIP is on the maintenance and protection of the City's existing assets, Its buildings
and streetslinfrastructure. The staff has spent numerous hours of analysis in an attempt te provide
the most cost-effective and prioritized prejects fer 2011 - 2015 te meet that focus.
Highlights of the 2010 - 2014 CIP are:
1. In 2007 and 2008, the City Council was presented with plans to advance roadway
recenstructien projects to take advantage of competitive pricing and te address a deteriorating
roadway system. The plan called for an annual expenditure of $10,000,000 through 2012 for
neighberhood street upgrades. This advanced plan has resulted in very faverable bids In
2007,2008,2009 and again in 2010 that have provided savings in the program approaching
25-30% ef the estimated cests. This expanded program has resulted in a majer increase in
debt service payments in the current and future years. Due to the Ceuncll's desire te reduce
the ameunt ef City debt and stabilize the tax levy for debt service, the CIP no longer reflects
that expanded effert and a number of projects have been deferred te minimize debt levy
increases. The cost savings of advancing projects is continuing in 2010. The City debt
service levels are projected to begin a reduction but not until 2014 er 2015, se this CIP
reflects a slowing down of the investment in infrastructure. If the City Ceuncil wishes te
censider advancing addltlenal projects, an allecatlen of the debt levy will be needed fer this
program. The projections for expenses to this program begins to diminish in 2011 and
continues at a lower level through 2014 as planned expenditures are reduced to the $5-6
million ameunt which is down from the projected level ef $10-12 million in 2007 - 2010.
Expenditures thereafter should be lewer as Maplewood streets are upgraded to more of a
maintenance level rather than a reconstruction need.
2. The Gladstene redevelopment initiative is reflected in this plan. Major improvements totaling
$5,300,000 are planned for Phase 1 in 2010 and 2011, plus an additional $1,200,000 fer the
Gladstene Savana in 2011. The second phase ef the redevelopment is estimated te be
delayed from the original plan in 2012 to 2013-14 at $3,500,000 and the third phase has been
delayed in this plan at $5,750,000 from 2014 to 2015. The staff reviewed redevelopment
plans fer ether areas of the Community and reviewed eptlons fer beginning the Hillcrest Area
Redevelopment during this timeframe. Unfertunately, funding limitations required that the
Hillcrest Area Redevelopment initiative net be started until Gladstone is completed, which
delays that important project to pest-2015.

3. Develepment of a Master Trail Plan was a prierity for the City in 2008 and 2009. This Plan
prieritizes the use of PAC fees for the acquisitien and censtructien in existing parks and
requires the delay of trail corridors and trail extensiens. Censtruction of the transpertation and
recreational components to meet citizen needs and desires for trail cennections and corridors
throughout the community will remain within street projects as part of the reconstructien
program and as a part of ceordinated projects with Ramsey County and MnDOT. Some trail
projects in 2011 continue with expenditures for trail develepment as well as trails at and near
Jey Park and Lions Park.
4. Additional improvements were propesed te centinue building maintenance of City facilities at
City Hall and Mapleweod Community Center. The Maplewoed Cemmunity Center is unable
te support eperatienal costs due to nearly 45% of these costs for large increases in
replacement ef mechanical and building features. These requests have been delayed for a
number ef years due to the need for financial adjustments to the MCC Fund. Additional
improvements at City Hall have alse been delayed due to the lack of a dedicated funding
source. As the Council debates the levy fer 2011, censideration needs te be given to
dedicate funds to these needs. The improvements have been removed from the CIP
reflecting this lack ef funding and are shown in the deferred/declined list.
5. Replacement of vehicles and equipment in the Fleet Management Fund reflects a need te
delay the replacement ef equipment. An annual expenditure ef $300,000 to $350,000 is
proposed for the planning period for replacements. This has meant a significant deferral of
needed replacements that will add to maintenance costs.
6. The Park Develepment Fund is shewing a centinued slew down of revenues as the housing
market and building of cemmercial industrial facilities slows due to the slewing ecenomy. A
number of projects have been delayed or deferred from the requests ef the Park Commission.
7. A new additien te the 2011-2015 CIP is the planned Fire Training Facility. The East Metro
area is lacking in a quality fire training facility. This facility will allew firefighters to enhance
their skills in a safe environment. Much ef the cest ef this facility will be financed with grants
including the grant of the land from MnDOT. The facility will utilize wind, solar and geethermal
technelegies. A joint pewers agreement will enable costs to be berne by the many
metropelitan area fire departments that will benefit from it.
8. TH 36 and English Street will be under pressure to be revised te an interchange due to the
project that removed signals from TH 36 in Nerth St. Paul. Funding is proposed for a major
interchange project in 2014-2015. Mest funding, $12,000,000 ef the $14,800,000 tetal will
come need to come from grants and MnDOT seurces.
The total 2011 - 2015 CIP reflects a reduced investment in capital program. This CIP, which differs
dramatically from past years, shows an 13.1 % decrease from the previous year's program.
Significant re-prioritizing ef funds shows that investment is propesed te decrease fer buildings,
equipment and Public Works, while Parks and redevelepment improvements are identified fer
substantial increases. The 2010 - 2014 CIP was a $77.76 Million plan, while the 2011 - 2015 CIP is
a $65.73 Million plan. Much of this decreased cost is directly attributable to the delay and deferral ef
projects due to limited funding optiens. The 2010-2014 CIP included grants of $13,900,000 while the
2011-2015 CIP includes grants in the ameunt ef $16,300,000.

Attachment 1
As with the previous year, a sectien of this CIP is listed within the Appendix ef Deferred Prejects.
These are projects that were recemmended by staff and Commissions and are significant needs
within the City. An analysis of the impacts of these projects identified that funding is not available
under current programs tetallng $54,233,410. in the 2010 - 2014 CIP the Deferred Projects liste was
for $21 ,409,672 worth of projects, which is a 253% increase in deferred-delayed projects and directly
attributable to the lack ef funding dedicated to capital replacement. If other funds become available,
these projects may be recensidered in future years.
The property tax impact of projects included in this CIP was evaluated. Estimates were prepared of
the new tax levies that will be required te support these projects assuming that new bonds will be
issued to finance CIP projects. For 2009, the city's total tax levy was $16,670,046 and ef that ameunt,
$3,624,702 was for debt service on bend issues. The tetal Debt outstanding for Maplewoed is
propesed to reach $76,157,297 in 2011 based upon the current plan within this CIP. 2010 total debt
is $79,047,297. The City's tetal debt is limited by statute to net mere than 3% of market value of
taxable preperty of the City. Very little of the debt ef the City, approximately $2,000,000 is actually
subject te the legal debt margin. Staff continues to moniter tetal city debt as a percent ef market value
with the intention of keeping total debt within 2%. With the new debt projected by this CIP, the City
will remain at or below that objective at 2.0 declining to 1.6% by 2015.
It is recemmended that the CIP be formally adepted by the City Ceuncil fellowing a Public Hearing
that is required to be held by the Planning Commission. As part of this adoption process, a strong
commitment is needed to follow the construction and financing schedule for the public improvement
projects planned for 2011. This allews the City's engineering staff to be fully utilized and will minimize
the need for censultant engineers. Also, it will facilitate the planning fer the year 2011 bend issue by
the Finance Department.
The CIP, by design, is a planning teol for City staff and elected officials. The CIP gives the City
Council the flexibility to proceed with the proposed projects based en the political, economic, and
financial realities ef each year. After the CIP has been fermally adepted by the City Ceuncil, the
projects scheduled for 2011 will be included in the Proposed 2011 Budget decument. This will
provide the City Council anether opportunity te review the preposed year 2011 prejects.
The 2011 - 2015 CIP presents an excellent combinatien of maintenance and redevelopment projects.
By proceeding with these scheduled improvements, the City Council can be assured the City's
infrastructure, facility and equipment needs meet these of its citizens.

DEBT CAPACITY
During the preparation of this Capital Improvement Plan, the City's present and future debt
capacity was evaluated. This was done to determine the amow1t of additional bonds that
could bc issued to finance the projects that were requested by departments for the Capital
Improvement Plan. The primary emphasis ofthe debt capacity analysis was to determine the
amount of debt that could be issued without causing a dmvngrading ofthe City's bond rating.
Also, the analysis included a projection of the City's legal debt margin which is the
difference between the maximum debt allowed under state law and the amount of debt
outstanding.
Bond ratings are based on economic, debt, administrative, and tiscal factors. Consequently,
ratings are subjective and there is not a formula that can be f()Uowed to calculate a bond
rating. However, there are two quantitative measures for comparing relative debt burdens:
debt per capita and the ratio of debt to tax base. Unfortunately there are not any absolute
benchmarks as to what these ratios should be. Until ] 998 Moody's Investors Service
annually published medians that indicated averages based upon population categories of
cities. At this writing, the City's rating from Moody's is Aa2.
The analysis of Maple wood's debt capacity included a review of data for the past five years
on debt ratios and bond ratings. Also, the analysis included a projection of future debt
transactions, population changes, tax base growth, and debt ratios.
The amount of debt anticipated to be issued in 2011-2015 is $29,255,000. Most of the bonds
planned to be issued between 2011 and 2015 will be J()r public works improvements. Debt
transactions and outstanding debt for 2006-2015 are shown on the next two pages.

The ratio of debt to tax base was also analyzed. This ratio is calculated by dividing the debt
outstanding by the estimated full market value of Maplewood's tax base. The estimated full
markct value of the City's tax base was projected for 2011-2015 based upon the assumption
that it would decrease by 2'% in 2011, not change in2012 and increase by 2% in 2013, 2% in
2014 and 3%, in 2015. The following table is a compilation ofthc preceding projections:

City bonds have an "Aa+" rating from Standard and Poor's Investor Rating Serviee
aeeording to their report dated April 8, 2010. The previous rating was "Aa2" by Moody's
Investors Serviee aeeording to their report dated Mareh 6, 2009. The switch in rating
services results in a conversion to compare ratings. A rating of "Aa+" Ii-om Standard and
Poor's is comparable to an "Aal" rating by Moody's which means an increased f(Jr the
City. The last rating increase lrom "A-]" to "Aa" in ] 989 was due to "continued growth
and diversification of the City's economy, strength and long-term stability of its
dominant taxpayer and well maintained finances add to margins of protection for debt
which poses a moderate burden." The increase in the rating was partially due to a
globalization by the rating industry to make ratings of government general obligation
debt comparable to the ratings of cOllxJrate debt of equal risk. In addition, Standard and
Poor's noted continual strength and stability of Maplewood's dominant tax payers and
well maintained tlnances and investment in infrast111cture as overall strength. Only about
8%, of Standard and Poor's ratings nationwide are "Aa+" or better. The projected debt
ratios indicate that Maplewood will probably be able to maintain its present bond ratings
through 2015.
Another important factor related to the City's debt capacity is the State legal debt limit.
This limit is 3.0%, of the assessor's market value of the City's tax base. Bond issues
covered by this limit are those that are financed by property taxes unless at least 20% of
the annual debt service costs are financed by special assessments or tax increments.
Maplewood has three debt issues that are subject to the debt limit in 20] ] -20] 5.
The difference between the statutory debt limit and the bonds outstanding that are
covered by the debt limit is referred to as the legal debt margin. The table below shows
Maplewood's legal debt margin for the years 2011-20]5. It indicates that the City is
currently and will be significantly under tlle legal debt limit for the entire period.

PROJECTS DEFERRED/DECLINED
In the course of preparation of this Capital Improvement Plan, several noteworthy
projects were proposed but deemed by staff to not be appropriate for inclusion at this
time. These projects are discussed below and included f(Jr your review.
. Hillcrest Area Redevelopment - Staff recommends that this project be deferred
until the Gladstone Neighborhood Redevelopment is further along so as to avoid
competing with each other.
. Housing Replacement Program - This is a worthwhile project and the current
economic conditions would call for some investment in this project. City
finances are not currently available to provide sufficient benefit.
. Commercial Property Redevelopment - While this is a worthy project, staff
does not believe that the costs are a priority use of tax levies. Staff will continue
to look for opportunities in this area.
. Various Requests for Trucks, Lawn Mowers, etc. m This equipment will
continue to need periodic replacement and other similar requests are included in
the CIP. These projects are indicative ofa need to keep replacements down to an
only-as-needed basis.
. Police Department Expansion - This is an expensive proposition and its need
has not been adequately demonstrated. Space needs at City Hall continue to be
evaluated. This project may require a referendum to identify a source of funds.
. Replacement/repair ofHre Station - This item will need to be addressed in the
coming years, as a couple of stations need to be bronght up to code and major
repairs to roof areas and internal areas need attention. This item was deferred
due to the high cost and a lack offlUlding identified. The Fire Chief will be
conducting a station feasibility study to determine warrants for replacement.
. Police Department and Public Works Carpeting - The carpet in these areas
are showing wear. Staff believes this need needs to be deferred for a few more
years due to the lack of funding.
. Community Center Gym Roof, Pool Area Sand Filter, Aquatic Lighting,
Lap/Leisure Pool, Boilers, Carpet and Ultra-voilet Treatment System -
Numerous maintenance initiatives are recommended for the Community Center.
Staff believes the Enancing ItJr replacement items at MCC need to be discussed
as a new method of fimds are identified, as the current MCC operational revenue
does not sustain these larger maintenance costs.
. Ambulance Replacement - the replacement rates for the ambulance fleet has
been delayed by one year at the recommendation ofthe Fire Chief based upon
current department needs.
. City Landfill Closure - Staff continues to monitor the landfill and work with
authorities. When closure is mandated, this will be added to the next CIP.
. Signal System at County Rd. D and Hazelwood - 3 way stop signs are
installed and are effective. Signal lights are not yet warranted.

. Park Projects - The source of fWlding for expansion of the parks system has
been diminishing and with the economic slow-dm\11, has become minimal. A
new source of funding for parks and park amenities needs to he identified. The
following projects were deferred due to fi.mding limitations:
o Gethsemane Park m this proposal for improvements will not proceed until
a development proposal is brought forward. An altemative plan for
purchasing the property may be explored.
o Trail Development - this program is being deferred due to lack of
funding. The trail plan will be implemented with street improvement
projects.
o Neighborhood Parks this program is being deferred due to lack of
funding and funding priorities directed to major park improvements.
o Goodrich Park the proposed expansion and improvements to Goodrich
Park needed to be reduced by approximately 50% due to limited available
funding and priorities in existing projects.
o Joy Park - the proposed continuation of improvements to Joy Park were
reduced by 50'% due to limited funding and priorities in existing projects.
. Various Street Improvements - The JiJllowing street improvement projects are
deferred to 20J 6 or beyond and will be considered in the normal street
improvement plan due to limited limding and a desire to reduce the level of City
debt:
o East Shore Drive Area Streets
o Montana/Nebraska Area Streets
o Carver Crossings Area Improvements
o County Rd C Area Streets, TH 61 to White Bear A venue
o Beebe Road, Holloway to Larpenteur
o City-wide sidewalk improvements
o Femdale/lvy Area Street Improvements
o Dennis/McClelland Area Street Improvements
. Edgerton - Roselawn Storm Sewer - Due to fimding limitations f()r this large
and expensive project, along with the controversial nature of the improvements,
this project has been deferred out of the next 5-year period.
