Action Reauired Submit to City Council for review and approval Agenda # Action by Council MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager FROM: Ken Roberts, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Review LOCATION: 2625 Larpenteur Avenue PROJECT: Hill - Murray High School DATE: June 6, 2001 INTRODUCTION DatC Endonod Modified Rejected The conditional use permit (CUP) for Hill- Murray High School, 2625 Larpenteur Avenue, is due for review. The CUP is for the school and athletic fields. (See the maps on pages 3 through 8 and the city coun+cil minutes starting on page nine.) BACKGROUND On April 8, 1996, the city council approved a conditional use permit (CUP) for Hill- Murray to make changes and improvements to their athletic fields. This approval was subject to ten conditions. On July 14, 1997, the city council reviewed the CUP for Hill- Murray. At this meeting, the council changed Condition 6 of the 1996 approval to read as follows: "Applicant may be required to plant 30 native species of trees for screening between the playing fields and the homes on Knoll Circle, as may be determ- ned at a future hearing on the Conditional Use Permit." On May 1 t , 1998, the city council approved a wetland buffer setback variance and a conditional use permit revision for the Hill - Murray Athletic Facilities. These requests were to update and revise the plans that the city had approved for the school's athletic facilities in 1996 and in 1997 and were subject to several conditions. On June 28, 1999, the city council approved the following for Hill- Murray High School: 1. Revisions to the conditional use permit (CUP). They proposed several changes to the approved plans for the school. The city code requires a CUP for schools. 2. The designs for an addition to the main entry of the school. This included the architectural, .site and landscape plans for the project. Refer to the maps on pages 38 and the City council minutes starting on page nine. Specifically, ..they proposed to: 1. Replace and expand the school's main entry. This is to enlarge the main floor lobby, provide .handicap accessibility to both floors and to enhance the building's image. 2. Add a drop -off drive to connect from the existing parking lot along the south side of the school to the new main entrance. 3. In a future phase, add another entrance to the school property from Larpenteur Avenue and 64 parking spaces near their east property line. Hill - Murray will do the improvements in stages as their funds allow. DISCUSSION The contractor is finishing work on the front -entry addition and expects to have it done by fall. The school has not yet started the new drop -off drive by the new front entrance or the parking lot on the east side of the building. As I noted above, the school will do the improvements in stages as funds allow. The city council should review this CUP again in one year to ensure that all the council conditions are being met. City staff has not received any complaints about this facility and is not aware of any problems. RECOMMENDATION Review the conditional use permit for Hill - Murray High School at 2625 Larpenteur Avenue again in one year. Kr /p.: sec 13 -29 /h illmu ry. 01 Attachments: 1. 'Location Map 2.

(Tim Thone) Southeast Corner of Lower Afton and McKnight Roads June 15, 2001 Action by Council. Date Endorsed Modred Rejecte Tim Thone, Thone B riders and Developers, inc.,, is proposing to construct a 40 -unit townhouse -development. This development would be on a 4.22 -acre parcel of land located on the southeast corner of L:r Afton and McKnight Roads, behind the Holiday Station Store (see the maps on pages 13 -17). The Jour proposed buildings would have earth -tone vinyl siding, vinyl shake accents under the windows and :cultured stone on the garage level (see the elevations on pages 24 -26 and 28 -29). Each building would have three levels: first level to Include a one or two -car tuck. -under style garage and mechanical and storage rooms; second level to include the living room, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom; and third level to include the bedrooms and bathroom (see building footprint on pages 27 and 30 -31). This design will be marketed to empty nest professionals and will be priced from $160,000 to $190,000. Requests To build this development, the applicant is requesting that the city approve the following: A. An amendment to the city's comprehensive land use plan for the site. This change would be from coc nimerdat o�ff'i�Ge. (CO) and limited business commercial (LBC) to residential high density (R -3H). B. A rezoning from commercial office (CO) and limited business commercial (LBC) districts to multiple - family residential (R -3). C. The preliminary plat. D. The design puns. DISCUSSION Land Use Amendment and Rezoning The property is currently planned as CO and LBC in the city "s comprehensive land use plan and zoned CO and LBC (see the zoning and land use maps on pages 14 -17). Uses permitted within the CO and LBC zoning districts include Offices and other low- intensity commercial uses. Surrounding properties include the Holiday Station Store to the west and north of the property (planned and .zoned business Commercial (BC)); to the west across McKnight Road in St. Paul are rental apartments and a strip mall shopping center; to the south are single - family homes; to the east is a wetland that the city's comprehensive land use plan depicts as open space; and to the north across Lower Afton Road is Battle Creek Regional Park. Mr. Thone states in his letter dated February 22, 2001 (pages 32 -33) that the main reason for proposing the land use amendment and rezoning of the property from commercial to residential is that the times and conditions have changed such that the planned land use is no longer appropriate for the property. He points Out that the property is ideal for multi- family housing because of access to an existing major bus route on McKnight and Lower Afton Roads; the Location of the regional park directly to the north of the property with walking paths and other recreational opportunities; the location of a bike trail on Lower Afton Road; and the strong need and demand for moderately- priced housing compared to the need for more commercial development on the property. The city's comprehensive plan sets goals and policies for residential developments. Four specific goals apply to this proposal: 1) provide for orderly development; 2) minimize conflicts between land uses; 3) provide a wide variety of housing types; and 4) plan multi - family housing with an average density of at least 10 units per acre. In addition, two specific policies apply to this proposal: 1) disperse moderate- income developments throughout the city near bus lines; and 2) protect neighborhoods from encroachment or intrusion of incompatible land uses by adequate buffering and separation. In addition to the comprehensive plan goals and policies, the city's zoning code specifies criteria to be considered when a rezoning is proposed. In general, the code states that the proposed change not injure or detract from the use of neighboring property,, serve the best interests and conveniences of the community and cause no negative impacts on the city *s public services or facilities. This proposal meets the above- mentioned goals, policies and criteria. The proposed 40 units on the 4.22 -acre site would create a density of 9.5 units per acre. The maximum density allowed for townhouses in the R -3H land use district its 10.4 units per acre. For comparison, the two other multi- family districts, R -3L and R -3M, allow for 5.4 and 6.0 units per acre, respectively. On this site, the R -3L land use designation would allow for up to 22 units and the R -3M land use designation would allow for 25 units. Traffic Mr. Thone also states in his reasons for the land use change and rezoning is that residential use of the land may generate significantly less traffic and congestion versus traditional style retail or commercial developments. The only way to compare traffic generation accurately would be to know the exact commercial use and size of development that might have fit on the site. As an example, the current zoning of this property would permit, among other uses, a medical office and a day care center. The Institute of Transportation Engineer's traffic calculations state that a day care generates 79.14 trips per day per 1,000 square feet and a medical office generates 39.33 trips per day per 1 square feet. Based on these numbers, if a 3,000 square foot day care center were built on the McKnight Road side of the site and a 5,000 square foot medical office were constructed on the Lower Afton Road side of the site, the estimated daily traffic would be 436 trips per day. Townhouses, on the other hand, are estimated to generate from 7 to 10 vehicle trips per unit per day. The proposed 40 units would generate 280 to 400 trips per day. Because the traffic generated by different commercial uses would vary greatly, staff cannot make definitive traffic comparisons. In addition to staffs estimated traffic counts, Mr.. Thone has requested his engineering firm, Hedlund Engineering, to make a comparison of residential versus commercial use. The attached letter from Hedlund Engineering (see page 34) states that the 40 -unit townhouse development is estimated to generate 7 vehicle trips per unit per day, or 280 vehicle trips totaf. in comparison, a 27,500 square foot business park which would encompass 15 percent of the entire 42 acre lot would generate 14.37 vehicle trips p 1 s.f. of coverage, or 39.4 vehicle trips per day. Neighborhood Comment Neighborhood comment received was generally for the land use and zoning change. Neighbors that attended a neighborhood meeting held by the developer in November 2000 stated that they believed their property values would remain strongest with a multi- family proposal such as Afton Ridge, compared to other uses. Written concerns received by neighbors about the development include possible increase in traffic, ensure screening between multi- family and single- family uses, ensure the preservation of existing trees and wetland, and ensure headlights from cars and on -site lighting do not produce glare into single - family lots. Afton Ridge Staff Report 2 June 15, 2001 Preliminary Plat and Public Utilities Mr. Thone is requesting a preliminary plat for the project. This development has been designed as a common interest community (CIC) with the four proposed buildings platted as one lot each. The buildings will then be divided into separate units, with the prospective buyers owning from wall to wall, as opposed to owning the land that a townhouse sits on and a small portion of the land surrounding it. If approved, the developer will be forming a homeowner's association with documents (declarations) specifying the legal responsibility of the association and homeowners for maintenance of the units and common grounds. The mai difference in platting a townhouse development as a CIC as opposed to platting each townhouse unit with its own lot is that there is only one sewer and water hookup to each building rather than one per unit. City cod allows this type of utility connection as long as the declarations specify the responsible parties for maintenance. In this case, the homeowner's association will be responsible for the on -site sewer and water systems, rather than one property owner. The development will get water from a water main in McKnight Road. Sanitary sewer will be accessed through a city sewer dine, which runs along the west property line of this development, behind the Holiday Station Store. The Ramsey/Washington Metro Watershed District and the city engineer have reviewed the proposed development for storm water issues. The current proposal channels most of the drainage from the site under Lower Afton Road into a culvert and then into a regional system. City code requires compliance with the national urban runoff plan (NURP) design standards. Therefore, additional ponding for storm water retention will be required on the site. The location and depths of those ponds will need to be approved by the city engineer before issuance of a grading permit. Design Buildings. There are two styles of buildings proposed. The Bradford and Camelot designs are proposed for the eastern portion of the development (adjacent Lower Afton Road) with 28 two- bedroom units. There are 14 units in each of these two buildings, with 7 units on each side, back to back. The garages are recessed under the front decks, which are supported by decoratme columns. The Oxford design is proposed for the western portion of the development (adjacent McKnight Road) with 12 three- bedroom unit. There are s i x units in each building, with front entry and rear walkouts. All four buildings will meet or exceed the required setbacks. As stated above, the exterior of all buildings would have earth -tone vinyl siding, vinyl shake accents under the windows and cultured stone exterior on the garage level. The community design review board (CDRB) at their June 12, 2001, meeting reviewed the design of the buildings and stated generally that the architectural design was attractive. On concern mentioned was the west elevation of the Oxford design (elevation facing McKnight Road). It was feit - that this elevation lacked the architectural detail that should be warranted from the McKnight Road right-of-way. To help mitigate the appearance of an expansive wall, the CDRB added a condition that the McKnight Road elevations include a similar bump out wall as seen on the side elevations of the Bradford and Camelot designs. These bump outs are designed to house fireplaces. Mr. Thone has agreed to this condition. Drives: There are two proposed entrance drives into the development. One on Lower Afton Road that will provide :access for 28 units and one on McKnight Road that will provide access for 12 units. The p�lian� Miciuded in this report shows four turn- around drives. These were requested by the city's fire marshal for emergency vehicle turn- around access. After further review of the project it was determined that the turn- around issue could be better addressed on the eastern portion of the development by installing a 12 -foot wide fire lane from the ends of the two exterior drives, around the buildings. This lane will be used by emergency vehicles and as a walking path for residents of the development only. The fire lane alternative will also help reduce the amount of impervious surface on the site. Code states that amulti- family development of this nature must maintain at least 35 percent open space (pervious Afton Ridge Staff Report 3 June 15, 2001 surface). As proposed, this development has 59 percent open space, which exceeds the code requirements. However, the Less impervious surface on the site the better, particularly next to a wetland. The planning commission discussed the fire Kane at their June 4, 2001, meeting and suggested as a measure to further decrease the impervious surface that the. lane should be constructed of a Class V material. City code requires that all parking lots and associated driveways shall have a surface of bituminous or concrete. Staff interprets the code to include the fire lane. For this reason, as well as the fact that the Class V material is harder to maintain and the fine rock from the material can actually cause more harm to the adjacent wetland than the runoff from the bituminous, staff feels that the drive should be bituminous. .Because of the grade on the western portion of the development, a similar fire lane is impossible in this part of the project. However, the fire marshal stated that the proposed 120 -foot long and 24 -foot wide turn- arounds could be reduced in length and width to 80 feet and 12 feet respectively. Again, this will decrease the amount of impervious surface and grading required on the site. This turn - around, was also the subject of much discussion during the planning commission and CDRB meetings.. The neighbor at 349 Parkview Lane, adjacent this proposed turn- around, has expressed concern over the additional grading and removal of trees that will be required. The planning commission .and CDRB agreed that the additional grading, even for the reduced size of turnaround now proposed, will require trees to be removed and will take away from the aesthetics of the development. The planning commission and CDRB questioned why this development was required to have a turn - around when a similar development called Pineview Estates on County Road D was recently approved without them. The private drives in Pineview Estates are 170 feet long. The private drive extending off of McKnight Road into the Afton Ridge development is proposed at 200 feet, not including the turn- around. The city's fire marshal explains that the drives in the Pineview Estates development offer a 60 -foot x 25- foot area at the ends of the drives that will serve as adequate turnaround for emergency vehicles. As a comparison, the drive off of McKnight Road into Afton Ridge is only 24 feet vide at the end. Therefore, the city's fire marshal strongly recommends that the 12 foot wide by 80 foot long proposed turn - arounds remain. Parking. The city's parking code requires two spaces per unit. All units are proposed to have two -car garages, :interior .units in the Bradford and Camelot design will have garages which are one -car wide and two cars deep, with exterior units and units in the Oxford design having two -car wide garages. The Code requirements are met with the garages. However, guest parking is always a concern in such a development. Because the private drives are only 24 feet wide, no parking is allowed on either side. The driveways proposed for each unit will be at least 25 feet long with a variation in width depending on a one or two -car wide garage. tine -car wide garages will have a 9 -foot wide driveway, Leaving space for one guest to park, and the two -car wide garages will have a 16 -foot wade driveway, leaving space for two guests to park. In addition to the driveways, the developer is proposilng a total of 17 additional guest parking spaces throughout the development. Trails and Sidewalk. When the adjacent single - family de%. eloprre ^t (A! Addition) was platted in 1996 a trail easement was peal on the plat. There is a bituminous trail with a split rail fence that runs through the easement. and extends from Parkview Lane in between two of the single- family lots, down the middle of this develjopment, onto Lower Afton Road. During the neighborhood meeting the two single - family property owners that have the trail easement running alongside their properties expressed a desire to remove this trail. However, other neighborhood comment received expressed a desire to retain this trail. The trail was part of the approved AJ Plat and serves as an important pedestrian /bicycle route from the AJ Addition single- family neighborhood to bus service, park access across Lower Afton Road, and to the convenience store. For this reason, staff recommends that the trail remain. As stated above, the intersection of McKnight and Lower Afton Roads is the location of a bus stop. To ensure off - street access to this intersection and the convenience store for individuals living on the west portion of this development, staff is proposing that the developer construct a 5 -foot wide, concrete sidewalk Afton Ridge Staff Report 4 June 15, 2001 within the McKnight Road right -of -way. This sidewalk would run along the western side of the development from the most southerly property line to the existing sidewalk in front of the Holiday Station Store. There are no existing sidewalks on Lower Afton Road, only a bike path on the north side of the road. In order to ensure access to the intersection and the convenience store for residents of the east portion of the development, staff proposes an 8 -foot wide, bituminous trail to extend from the western driveway of this portion of the development up to the existing pedestrian /bicycle trail. Landscaping, Screening, and Tree Preservation: Existing conditions on the site include a number of mature cottonwood trees interspersed with other deciduous trees and one large red pine located in the middle of the property. within the property, only 28 of the trees are defined as "large trees" according to the city's tree preservation ordinance. Only "larger trees" are required to be replaced on a one -to -one basis if removed. Mr. Thone has agreed to save as many trees on the development as possible. According to the proposed grading plan, it appears that a number of trees on the southern end of the development, adjacent the single- family lots, can be saved. Unfortunately, the large red pine sits in the middle of the development and must be removed. Because of its maturity, it also cannot be relocated on the site. The landscape plan submitted does not depict the gees that will be preserved. For this reason, landscape screening adjacent the single - family property is hard to determine at this time. One of the main concerns expressed by the single - family property owners was the vehicle headlights shining into their properties. With the finalized landscape plan, care must be given to ensure an opaque evergreen screening at the ends of all of the driveways. Also, the grade of the development is such that the single homes are higher up in most places than the townhouses which will help shield the headlights. A main ,concern of Mr. Thone is supplying screening for the townhouse development from the Holiday Station Store. The city's police department recommends a 6 -foot high privacy fence be installed along all common ;property lines with Holiday Station Store to help alleviate noise, trespassing, and light complaints. Mr. Thone, however,; feels that the installation of a row of deciduous trees would serve the development better. The city's landscape code requires screening of a business when adjacent to residential property. The Holiday Station store was not required to install a fence or additional landscape screening as the Afton Ridge site was zoned commercial when Holiday Station Store was constructed. Therefore, there is no required screening for Mr. Thone's development from Holiday Station Store. For this reason, if the developer feels that a screening fence would not serve the development, staff agrees but recommends that a row of 6 -foot high or larger evergreens be installed along the common property lines, in addition to some deciduous trees. The Holiday Station Store's conditional use permit requires that the store close between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., alleviating noise and some lighting concerns during these hours. In order to add to the design of the buildings and development as a whole, staff recommends landscaped planting beds be located in between the driveways, in front of the doors. These landscaped beds should include low maintenance shrubs and perennials. Site Lighting. one of the neighbors' strongest contemns expressed was site lighting. They wanted io ensure that the multi-family development would not produce glare and Fight trespass onto their properties. Mr. Thone proposes exterior lights above each garage unit, with no additional site lighting. Staff feels that this proposal wily be adequate to offer enough light for security, without over - lighting the site. Final lighting details should be submitted to staff for approval before issuance of a building permit. Wetland There is a wetland on the east side of this property that the city has designated as open space on the Land Use Plan. The city's wetland ordinance requires a 50 -foot wide buffer from a Class III type wetland such as this, with an additional 10 -foot setback from the buffer for buildings.. This development meets the setback requirements on the buffer; however, four of the guest parking spaces will be constructed right up to the Afton Ridge Staff Report 5 June 15, 2001 buffer line. With the removal of the turn - arounds, these four spaces should be relocated toward the south, away from the buffer area, to ensure protection of the wetland. COMMITTEE ACTIONS June 4, 2001: The planning commission reviewed the comprehensive land use plan amendment, rezoning, and preliminary plat requests. The planning commission recommended approval.of the land use plan amendment and rezoning by a vote of 6 to 1 and recommended approval of the preliminary plat by a vote of7to0. June 12, 2001: The CDRB reviewed the building, landscaping, and parking design plans. The CDRB unanimously recommended design approval by a vote of 5 to 0. RECO111AMENDAT6ONS A.

Afton Ridge Staff Report 9 June 15, 2001 CITIZEN COMMENTS i surveyed the owners of the 41 properties within 350 feet of this site. Of the 12 replies, 10 were in general favor of the land use change and rezoning proposal with minor concerns regarding the development itself, _1 objected, and 1 had no comment: In Favor Consensus believed that their property values would remain strongest with a multi- family proposal such as Afton Ridge, Compared to other uses. Sampling of concerns regarding the development itself include: Gregory Dieff and Lee, Solyntjes of 341 Parkview Lane: We want to see the preservation of the surrounding wetlands and buffer zone and as many of the existing trees and other growth preserved. We would like to see planting of large trees and shrubs on the perimeter of the new development. William and Jennifer Jahner of 355 Parkview Lane: Want upscale development. Would like tree border on sides and backs of lots to separate therm from our lots. There .are some mature trees on those 2 lots. I would like to see them saved. The pine on the south lot is a beauty. Steven Weckman and Deanna Linden of 345 Parkview Lane: I am concerned about lighting on the property. All exterior lighting should be shielded to prevent reflection off site. Also, the driveways should be cut below original grade, but still retain proper drainage to prevent headlights shining into adjacent residences. Overall, I am. in favor of this proposal as long as they don't ask for any variances: or. special. exemptions. Opposed Don Palmer of 338 McKnight Road: Traffic concerns.

County Road B Maplewood, MN. 55109 dear Mayor &City council Members, Thone Builders &Developers has submitted application for comprehensive plan amendment, PUD and site plan to be known as Afton Ridge. In addition the request includes re- zoning the 4.22 acres from BC -M- LBC to R — C3 town homes. 1t.'E C E-A V E D APR n 6 2001 The proposed development is located near the Southeast intersection of and Afton Road, surrounding the Holiday gas station. A.) The most important reason for making these amendments are because times and conditions have changed such that the eAsting land use is no longer appropriate for the property. B.) This will provide a unique opportunity to provide moderately priced homes for "Empty Nest" professionals that avant to live and work in Maplewood. C.) This location is ideal because of the existing major bus route. Afton Ridge homeowners will have easy access to public transportation. D.) Residential land use Wil generate significantly less traffic and congestion versus traditional style retail or commercial building. There is a strong need and demand for moderate housing compared to the need for more commercial development on this site. E.) Those attending the neighborhood meeting, held in November, unanimously believed their property values would remain strongest with Afton Ridge proposal compared to other uses. 32 F.) City sewer and water are adjacent to project site, so there will be no impact on the city's utility system. G.) I feel existing public. facilities, such as schools and parks are adequate for this proposal. The regional park, directly to the north, provides open space, walking paths, ECT. There will be virtually no impact on schools. During my 10 years of building comparable housing, the buyers have tended to be "Empty Nest" professionals mixed with first time homebuyers. H.) No deviation from city code regarding PUD. Afton Ridge is more compatible with surrounding uses as compared to more commercial development.,. Town homes will serve as a buffer be en commercial use and the busy roads of Lower Afton and McKnight roads. Time and conditions have changed; the existing land use is more appropriate for town- homes. This proposal will enhance the site and surroundings, and fill the need for quality housing that is moderately priced. Thank you, Tim Thone Thone :Builders &Developers, Inc.

Afton Ridge Lower Afton and McKnight Roads) 1. Land Use Plan Change (BC -M and LBC to R -3H) 2. Zoning Map Change (CO and LBC to R -3) 3. Preliminary Plat Shann Finwall, Associate Planner, presented the staff report for this request. She stated that Tim Thone of Thone Builders and Developers is proposing to construct a 40-unit tnhouse development on a 4.22 -acre parcel of land located on the southeast corner of Lower Afton Road and McKnight Road. This property is zoned and planned as commercial offic and limited business. commercial. The surrounding properties include the Holiday Station store, to the south are single family homes, to the east is a wetland, to the north is Battlecreek Park, to the west is the City of St. Paul where there is a strip mall and rental housing. Ms. Finwall stated that Mr. Thone is requesting the following approvals for this development; first, an amendment to the city's Comprehensive Land Use Plan from Commercial Office and Limited Business Commercial to Residential High Density. Second, rezone the property from Commercial Office and Limited Business Commercial -districts to Multiple Family Residential. Third, preliminary and final plat approval, as well as design approval which Will be addressed by the Community Design Review Board next week. Ms. Finwall stated that Mr. Thone's development includes 40- units. Two of the buildings will have access onto McKn ght Road, 12 -units total. The other two buildings wlll have access onto Lower Afton Road, 28 -units total. The Lower Afton Road building proposed will include 14 -units in each building with 7 -units on each side, back to back. The interior units will have garages which are one -car wide and two -car deep with exterior units having two -car wide garages. All four buildings will have earth -tone vinyl .siding, vinyl shake accents under the windows and brick exterior on the garage level. These townhomes will be marketed to empty nest professionals and will be priced from $100,000 to $100 , Ms. Finwall stated that Mr. Thone stated that the main reason for proposing a land use amendment and rezoning of this property from commercial to residential is that the times and conditions have changed such that the planned land use is no longer appropriate for this property. He pointed out that the property is ideal for multiple family housing ,because of the access to an existing major bus route on McKnight and Lower Afton Road, the location of a regional park directly to the north of this property with walking paths and other recreational opportunities, the location of a bike trail on Lower Afton Road, and the fact that the residential use will generate less traffic and congestion than a traditional style retail or commercial development, and finally the strong need and demand for moderate housing compared to the need for more commercial development on this property. Staff does concur with this analysis in that the proposal meets many of the required goals, policies, and criteria set forth in the city's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code for residential developments, including increasing the moderately priced housing stock within the city. The existing conditions on this lot include several mature trees, mainly Cottonwoods, and a wetland to the east of the property. According to the proposed grading plan, Ms. Finwall stated that it appears a number of the trees on the southern end of the development can be saved. Mr. Thone is receptive to this idea, as are the adjacent property owners. The landscape plan that was submitted with this proposal does not show the trees that will be preserved. For this reason, landscape screening of the single- family properties, particularly screening from the townhome's vehicle headlights, will have to be addressed. Staff does feel that this can be accomplished with a grouping of evergreens at the ends of all driveways. The developer would also like to create screening from the adjacent Holiday Station store. This will be accomplished by a row of deciduous and evergreen trees along the shared property lines of the Holiday Station store. Where is currently a bituminous trail with a split rail fence that is located down the center of this property. This trail was put in place with the construction and platting of the adjacent single - family homes. It was created to gain access for this neighborhood to the bus stop and the convenience store on the corner of McKnight and Lower Afton Roads. This trail will remain with this development. In addition to the two -car garage spaces which are being provided in each unit, also proposed are individual driveways into each unit which can serve as guest parking. There are also a total of 17 additional guest - parking spaces scattered throughout the development. The parking proposed does exceed the city's requirements. Originally planned for this development were four turnaround lanes, required by the city's fire marshal for turnaround access for emergency vehicles. After further review of this project, and the fact that the turnarounds will increase impervious surface on the property, it was determined that this turnaround issue could be better addressed on the eastern portion of this development by creating a 12 -foot wide fire access lane to the back of the property., This access lane will only be accessible to emergency vehicles and as a walking path for the development itself. Because of the grade of the western portion of this development, a similar type of proposal will not work. Ms. Finwall indicated that the turnaround in that area could be reduced from 1+60 -feet long to 80- feet long. In order to insure access for this development to the bus stop and convenience store on the intersection of McKnight and Lower Afton Roads, staff is proposing that the developer construct a five -foot wide concrete sidewalk along the McKnight Road right - of -way west of the property. This sidewalk will extend from the southern edge of the property to the existing. sidewalk, in front of the Holiday Station store. Also, staff is recommending the developer construct a bituminous trail to extend from the western driveway of the eastern portion of the deveiopment to the existing bituminous trail. The l ghfing on this, property will consist of exterior lights above each garage. This proposal will insure that light will not shine into adjacent properties, yet still will be adequate to offer enough light within this development for security. There is currently a wetland on the east side of the property which the city requires a 50 -foot wide buffer from this wetland. The development does meet this requirement. However, there are four guest parking stalls located directly adjacent to that buffer area. Ms. Finwall indicated that with the removal of the turnaround lane, the parking stalls could be shifted to the south creating more of a buffer for that wetland. In addition, staff does propose that native plantings be planted within this buffer area to help filter any overflow storm water runoff from the project and help restore the wetland to a more native habitat. Staff does recommend approval of this proposal and is requesting three motions from the Commission to include: Adopting a land use plan change resolution from Commercial Office and Limited Business Commercial to Residential High Density; Adopting the rezoning resolution from Commercial Office and Limited Business Commercial to Multi- Family Residential; and, Approve the preliminary and final plat date stamped May 11, 2001 with all attached conditions including an additional condition which is being required by the county and includes deeding three -feet of additional right -of -way to McKnight Road. The Community Design Review Board will review this project on June 12, 2001. Commissioner Frost inquired if the turnaround lanes on the Afton Road side could be a pervious surface instead of asphalt. Ms. Finwall stated that the city's fire marshal did not depict that it had to be an impervious service and stated that could be reviewed. Commissioner Frost asked about Item D 2,4 referring to four groups of six -foot high large evergreens and how many trees make a group. Ms... Finwall stated that the intent of that item was that there was adequate screening at the ends of the driveways. She stated that four trees Could make a grouping. Commissioner. Trippler questioned the documents that the commission received displaying the units. He stated that the elevations that they received displayed eight units versus the seven that were stated in the staff report. Tim Thone, the applicant, stated that when this project was originally started the application was for eight units on each side. This was before the neighborhood meetings and several staff meetings. The current proposal has reduced the total number of units from 44 to 40. Commissioner Trippler inquired where the existing 10 -foot wide bituminous trail leads to. Ms. Finwall indicated that the trail extends from Parkview Lane to the south, adjacent to the Holiday station store down Lower Afton Road. Commissioner Trippler asked if there was a trail on the other side of Lower Afton Road. Ms. Finwall indicated that there is a bike path on the north side of Lower Afton Road. Commissioner Rossbach asked why the storm water was being taken off site for this project rather than having an on -site detention or retention of water. Chris Cavett, Assistant City Planner, stated that due to the basic shape and grade of the site there is not a lot of creativity that can be put into the drainage. Some drainage is being directed towards the wetlands, and ultimately gets directed into a regional drainage system. He stated that there are some Design Review comments for the developer and their engineer to perhaps make some modifications or improvements to this. However, based on the grade it is rather difficult to do anything different to the site. Commissioner Rossbach stated that he thought that the rule was that the area could not have any more drainage going off of it after it was developed than it did before. He inquired how did we achieve that if we are taking all the drainage off site. Mr. Cavett stated that that was correct, unless the site is part of a regional drainage system., This site is part of a regional drainage system, the Lower Afton Creek. It would be nearly impossible to limit the flows on this site to pre - development run -off amounts. There are some improvements that the city would like to work with the developer and their engineer, more in terms of water quality rather than rate. They are directing flows into the ditch system, which is on Lower Afton Road. Commissioner Rossbach requested a copy of the ordinance to be clear of what it actually says regarding this issue. He stated that he was unaware that there were exceptions to the rule. He also indicated that due to the extent of the building and the impervious surface on the site. This limits the ability to put ponding on the site. Commissioner Rossbach stated that in the staff report it stated that the applicant felt that this development had fewer vehicle trips per day and generally it was a less intense development than if the areas were developed on their current zoning and Land use. Commissioner Rossbach asked if there were any. kind of figures that indicate what the anticipated vehicle trips per day for the existing land use would be versus what is being proposed. Ms. Finwall stated that a traffic study had not been completed on this project. She also stated that she had no exact numbers at this time but would supply him with that information. The applicant, Tim Thone, addressed the Commission. He stated that the theory :behind the townhome look is more of the "Big House" concept versus the traditional townhome look. This project has some unique features, such as the rooflines. He stated that the units that are before the Commission are the rendering drawings that are being proposed to build, less the units on each building that have been taken off. There will be 28 two - bedroom, units and 12 three- bedroom units. The square footage will range from 1,460 to 1 The target market is more the empty nest professionals Commissioner Mueller asked about families with children moving into this development. Mr. Thone indicated that of course they have a right to purchase in this development. However, historically this type of development does not attract families with children. He stated that multi - family housing is really not set up for families with children. He also indicated that townhouse living is not for everyone, and is more appealing for empty nesters. Commissioner Mueller commented that he felt that we are good at building expensive places for people with a lot of free cash and putting the families that do not have that free cash out to find rental apartments or properties that need extensive repair. He stated that issue concerns him. Commissioner Ahlness asked about the lighting plan and if the Lights on the unit garages would be on photocells or if they would be under the control of the owners. Mr. Thone indicated that the lights would be under the control of the owner. Commissioner Rossbach asked Mr. Thone to convince him that this development would be less intense than the development that would have gone into the existing. zoning. Mr. Thone indicated that this could not be done without a car count. He stated that if it were a two- beroom unit that there are demographics done as to how often those people come and go each day. Commissioner Frost stated that for single family residential it would be basically 10 trips per day /per house. As fair as the Commercial industrial and LBC, it is so much per 1,000 square feet. without looking at what that site could have held, it is hard to say h many trips would have been generated per day. Mr. Roberts stated that for townhouses it is typically 7 — 8 trips per day. But without having a size of a commercial building, or what the uses are, staff does not have the ability to compare the traffic volumes from the projects. Co mmissioner Ledvina asked if the units on the southeast portion of the project are constructed at one elevation. Mr. Thone indicated that they are all at one elevation. Commissioner Ledvina asked if there were any attempt to step the units to reduce the amount of grading on the western part of the site. He stated that the floor elevations would be 25 feet higher than McKnight Road. He stated that there is excessive grading on that part of the site. Mr. Thone stated that he would double -check that issu Mr.� Roberts stated that the southern portion of those units would have tuck -under garages and then two floors above that. The northern portions are two levels at grade and then above. The other portion is all slab on grade. He stated that looking at the grading plan., they do step. The top of floor elevation for the east units is about 943.7 and the units close to McKnight are at 939.5. Commissioner Pearson asked for clarification on Item 3 E, the 8 -foot wide bituminous trail. Ms. Finwall stated that the trail would connect from the proposed driveway to the existing 8 -foot wide bituminous trail. This trail will help the eastern portion of the development access the trail to the corner where there is a bus stop and convenience store. Commissioner Pearson asked if from that point there was anything planned to take the trail eastward to the front of the site to the crossover point where it would enter the parking lot. Mr. Roberts indicated that theproposed trail is just to connect to the existing trail. Commissioner Rossbach asked staff what the current average cost of housing in Maplewood is. Mr. Roberts indicated that at this time he did not have a number on that. He did state that a report from the Met Council defines affordable at $134,000 or less. Commissioner Rossbach asked if - the Commercial Office space and LBC zones were created as transitions between residential communities and more intense uses. Mr. Roberts indicated that that was correct. Ms. Finwall indicated that in this case, the multi- family would also serve as such a purpose. Commissioner Rossbach stated that we are increasing moderately priced housing stock within the city. Mr. Roberts stated that this development was not necessarily affordable housing, and in his opinion it was not high priced housing. Therefore, it seems moderate. Commissioner Rossbach asked what the advantage to the city for making the change from Commercial Office to multi - family. Mr. Thone stated that the times and conditions have changed to where that piece of property is not marketable for a commercial property. The real estate broker has had the ; property listed for a very long time and there has been no desire for a commercial user for this property. He stated that several years ago it would have not been thought to use that piece of property as a residential area. Times and conditions have changed and it is a nice transition from the Holiday Station to the residential people in the back. The biggest reason is that there has been no users in that area for office buildings. Commissioner Rossbach discussed that in the past this property had been zoned multi- family residential and then was changed to commercial use. He recalled that the reason this was changed was because the density was too high for the property and they were looking for something that had a lesser density. Mr. Thone stated that at this point there is not a market for what the property is being presented - for and that is why he is requesting the zoning change. Resident Emil Sturzinager of 2455 Londin Lane addressed the Commission. He stated that he is not opposing this development but that he is concerned about the traffic and - speed problem in this area. He stated that in the past he had requested a speed reduction from 50 miles per hour and also a turn lane on Lower Afton. He stated that there is scheduled millwork and an overlay on Lower Afton Road and felt that turning Lower Afton into three lanes with a turn lane would be beneficial. Chairperson Fischer asked staff if there was plans for upgrading streets in this area. Mr. Cavett stated that yes, there is a mill and an overlay plan for Lower Afton Road between Century and McKnight. There is also a proposal for next year's construction season (2002) for a reconfiguration of the intersection of McKnight and Lower Afton Road, with turn lanes and possibly medians and an addition of a traffic signal. This is just a proposal at this time. There is an additional lane proposed towards the east to accommodate right turning traffic into the development. He stated that the Ramsey County Traffic Engineer has looked at this situation and that it is his assumption that there will be limited left turning traffic. Commissioner Mueller asked if there has been any conversation regarding lowering the speed limits in the Battlecreek Park area. He felt the speeds might be excessive in that area. Mr. Cavett stated that speed limits are controlled by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The City of Maplewood has no authority on setting speed limits. The 50 miles per hour speed limit is based on the traffic conditions and the number of entrances, etc. He stated that he felt that there would be no changes to speed unless there are alterations on that roadway that would warrant a speed change. He stated that the city of Maplewood could make a request to Ramsey County and they would make the request to M N Dot. Commissioner Mueller asked Mr. Cavett if the reviews were made on a regular basis or only on request. Mr. Cavett - stated that typically it was done by request. There are certain situations that would warrant a speed study, such as traffic accidents. Resident Shawn Schuller of 349 Parkview Lane adjacent to the proposed development addressed the Commission. He stated that he would prefer to see the property stay vacant, but between commercial and residential he would chose the residential :proposal. He does have concerns about the turn a - round for the southern development. He stated that it requires excavation right to his property line, eliminating some of the trees. He stated that they would be cutting into tree roots of trees on his property and may damage them. He questions how excavation would take place without damaging his trees. Commissioner Mueller asked staff what the consequences would be if indeed the trees were damaged and died. Mr. Roberts stated at that point the attorneys v!culd get involved. He also stated that looking at the grading plan there may - e some room to make changes. It does take careful attention by the developer and by the contractors working on the site to prevent damage to the trees. Mr. Schuller stated that there was concern about the path that goes along his property. There has been some undesirable activities occurring on this path. He stated that if that path could be removed or altered it would be beneficial. Mr. Schuller asked if any solution could be done regarding the turn around, such as moving it or scaling it back. Commissioner Rossbach stated that it was necessary to have the turnaround at the end of the driveway for emergency vehicles. Ails. Finwall stated that the length of the turnaround on the western part of the development is currently at 180' in length and could be reduced to 80'. She stated the trail that is currently there going from Parkview to Lower Afton Road was developed as a condition with the AJ Plat. Removal of that trail would require an amendment to their plat. She stated that in some of the citizen comments there were good points brought up about the trail, and that many individuals did want to retain that trail. She commented on the trees in that area stating that grading does cause damage to trees , but if the developer takes care and cuts any roots that go over the property prior to grading it will help retain the trees for a long period of time.. If the site is fenced off and not graded onto the resident's property, any of the trees that are not being graded under the drip line should be ok, depending on the type of tree. Mr. Schuller stated that he is aware that theme are some grading issues regarding this project. He stated that at the back of the property there is a steeper incline and there are more trees.. As the property goes down towards the Holiday Station it flattens out quite a bit and the trees are already removed from that area. He asked if the project could be shifted towards the Holiday Station, preserving trees and reducing grading. Ms. Finwall stated that the developer did discuss shifting the #ownhomes approximately 20 -feet to the north, towards the Holiday Station store with his engineer. Mr. Thone stated that he talked with Randy Hedland who is doing the engineering on this project. He stated that they have a 50 -foot setback requirement towards the Holiday Station. He said that the project could be shifted down 15 -feet and still meet setback requirements. The issue would be that additional retaining walls would be necessary. Commissioner Rossbach questioned the 504,6ot setback for residential next to commercial. He said that it would be a 50 -foot setback if you were putting commercial next to residential. Mr. Roberts stated that Commissioner Rossbach is correct, there is not a 50 -foot minimum for the residential from the Holiday Store property line. He stated that it does become a balancing act between how close do we want residential units next to a commercial property. He stated that code requires 2+0 -feet. Commissioner Ledvina asked staff if the fire turnarounds arP a new requirPment for this type of -development. He cited other townhome developments where there was not circulation around the building,, in those instances he did not believe that there was any fire turnaround. Mr. Roberts stated that the development that Commissioner Ledvina was referring to was Pineview Estates. He stated that there are provisions at the end of those driveways for some type of turnaround, but not as extensive as proposed in this development. Mr. Roberts stated that this is the fire marshals latest requirement. Commissioner Ahiness stated that the fire /emergency vehicle turnarounds would be blocked with a knockdown barrier so that it will not be available for use to the public. Ms. Finwall stated that was correct. Regarding the turnaround on the eastern lobe of the development that staff is proposing a 12 -foot wide drive lane with fall down bollards at the end of the driveways. Commissioner Ahlness asked it that would also be in place for the southern property as well. Ms. Finwall stated that she did not believe that the bollards would be necessary because it is only an 80 -foot length. Fire lane signs should be posted with no parking. Commissioner Abiness asked if to relieve the residents concerns about the lights of traffic shining onto their property .and to avoid people parking on that fire lane, whether it is posted or not, if barricades could be placed there. It would also provide consistency within the development. Ms. Finwall stated that she felt that was an excellent suggestion. Commissioner Rossbach disagreed. He commented that why would you put in parking space and not allow people to use it. He felt that it would make no sense whatsoever to put barricades to block off a T in the road. He stated that a furniture truck or garbage truck coming in would want to use that turnaround. Ir. schuelier asked if having that turnaround space available for public use, such as parking or turnaround,, does not defeat the purpose of the turnaround for the fire trucks. .Commissioner Rossbach stated that he felt, all big vehicles that go into that developrneht will want to use that turnaround. Mr. Roberts stated that the area would be posted no parking. It would be just for vehicle turnaround, primarily the emergency vehicles enabling them to maneuver as easily as possible. He felt with the additional landscaping staff is recommending and the posting of the eastern end of the southern part of the site for no parking will address many of the concerns of the neighbors. Commissioner Frost asked how the requirements of the fire marshal get into the conditions required by the applicant. Mr. Roberts stated that the fire marshal has a lot of discretion under the state fire code. If the fire marshal feels that it is necessary for the emergency vehicles to have that turnaround, he gets a lot of latitude. Mr. Roberts stated that we do try to get consistent, and stated that nine times out of ten the roads or the driveways loop all the way around the buildings on all sides. We are trying to prevent that in this case, but there must be an area where the trucks and vehicles can back up and turn around. Commissioner Mueller asked staff if this was a Design Review Board issue to address. Mr. Roberts stated that was correct, but ultimately it will be the City Council. Commissioner Mueller stated that he would like to encourage the Design Review Board to look at moving this facility farther north if possible, and encouraged them to look at the distance between the farthest east townhome on the McKnight side and where the turnaround actually starts. Perhaps they can decrease the distance of the turnaround from the building. Commissioner Ledvina stated that the Design Review Board does not act on the plat. The plat for this development has the building pads specifically identified, and once that recommendation is made the Design Review Board does not make any recommendations on the plat. He stated that is the Planning Commissioners job to make a recommendation on that. Mr. Roberts stated that he felt the Design Review Board could make some recommendations on the shape.of the fire lane and some of the particulars. Commissioner Pearson asked if when this gets to the Design Review Board that they look at some kind of a fighting plan because . he feels that what is planned right now is not anywhere near adequate and may be potential for mischief with the trail and the convenience store locations. Greg Diddle,, resident of 341 ParkView Lane addressed the Commission. He stated that he was not in opposition of the project and likes the plan. He questioned who is responsible for maintaining the non -paved path between Lots 11 and 12. He stated that the trail needs attention. The residents on either side of the path have contacted the city and were told that it was the resident's responsibility to maintain the path. He also commented on the bituminous trail and that it has never been plowed and there is a lot of trash being left on that trail. He asked staff who owns these easement paths. Mr. Roberts said that some of. the trails in Maplewood are within private easements, some are within public easements, and some are within public right -of -ways. He stated that these particular ones are within easements in the AJ Addition. He commented that the city does not plow any paths, except one on Upper Afton. It has been the policy of the City not to clean them, we do not have the equipment or the manpower. He stated as far as the maintenance, he was not able to answer the question at this time. He stated there would need to be some research with the public works and parks department. Chairperson Fischer stated that we night have answers to that issue by the time this proposai gets to City Council. Mr. Diddle asked if the path on the eastern most edge of the project would remain. Ms. Finwall stated that the path Mr. Diddle is referring to does not affect this development at all and it will be retained. she stated that if a homeowners association were in place for the AJ Addition, it would be their responsibility to maintain the path. If no association is in place, the pathways becomes public property and therefore should be maintained by the city. Mr. Diddle asked about the 50 -foot buffer between the wetlands and the new development. He asked where in the wetland does the 50 -foot buffer start. Ms. Finwall stated that the 50 -foot buffer is from the delineated wetland mark. Mr. Roberts stated that each wetland delineation is different and is based on water characteristics, soil characteristics, and vegetative characteristics. This should be marked with a pink flag as set by a wetlands professional. He stated that this would be reviewed prior to the grading permit. This development will also be reviewed by the Watershed District. Steve Weckman of 345 Parkview Lane addressed the Commission. He stated that his primary concern is with the buffer. He asked for a more specific description of what is required for the cluster of trees, and how many trees define a cluster and what is the size of the trees. He also asked what the green area of the lot is as it is configured. now. He said that looking at the code, there is a 35% green area required for this type of development. Ms. l=inwall stated that she did not have the answer to the green area required at this tlme...She stated that in addition, there is a maximum building impervious surface of 30/0. Commissioner Rossbach stated that the way the development is laid out, there is more than 35% green space. Mr. Weckman's other concern is about the .natural buffer that is already there. Looking at the present plan shows a grade change right up to the property line. He questioned =how the trees would stay if the grade changes. Mr. Roberts stated that his understanding is that much of the area of his concern will be .,,.undisturbed,, except the turnaround and the trail. He stated that yes, there will be some tree removal, but Mr. Thone has indicated that a good portion will remain undisturbed and exactly how much will have to be reviewed with the final grading plan. Ms. Finwall stated that the grading on the south portion of the eastern lobe will be reduced somewhat with staff's proposal of a 12 -foot wide drive as opposed to the hammerhead type turnarounds. That will create more tree preservation in that area. Tree replacement within the City of Maplewood is 2 %2 caliper for deciduous trees and a 6 -foot high evergreen. The City of Maplewood does have a tree preservation ordinance and it requires that only what the ordinance terms large trees to be replaced. On this property there is approximately 28 large trees, not including the Cottonwoods which do not have to be replaced. Therefore, the developer has to, by ordinance, replace at least 28 trees. With the landscape plan there will be many more trees replaced than that. Mr. Weckman stated that he wouid like to see the development be moved closer to the Holiday Station Store since the setback will not be an issue. He feels that this would improve the grading situation. He also stated that he felt that as little lighting in the development as possible would be desirable. He feels that there is plenty of light from the Holiday Station., Mrs. Emil Sturzinager addressed the commission again. He asked if the path down by the Holiday Station was part of the sewer system. Mr. Cavett stated that was somewhat correct. There is a sewer line through there and that was probably one of the reasons that a trail was recommended there for access and maintenance purposes. Commissioner Frost asked for clarification of the width of the center lane down the private drive. Mr. Thone stated that it was 24 feet. Commissioner Frost stated that he felt that it would take a lot of years before the four 6- foot trees in the clusters would be adequate screening. Mr. Thone stated that the plantings would be Scotch Pines eight to ten feet high. The plantings would be touching the day that they were planted. Ms. Finwall stated that in addition to the concerns regarding screening, particularly on the eastern lobe of the development, that area is lower than the existing single family homes to the south,, which will help buffer some of the headlights in that area. She stated that perhaps a cluster of six trees would be more adequate. Chairperson Fischer stated that when the comprehensive plan was first put out, in some areas the buffer zone was high density residential and in some areas it was commercial office. Over the years some of the buffer zone areas were ready to development at times when the market wasn't there for the higher density residential. For several years staff on the city's HRA was concerned about the continuing erosion on the number of acres available for higher density residential because there was requests being submitted and granted) for the switch from the higher density residential to commercial office. Staff at that time had been keeping a tally of the number of acres we were loosing that had been originally been intended as higher density residential. Some areas that were thought would certainly go apartments, went to single family. Historically, we have seen an erosion on the number of acres that we had planned for higher density from two directions, some going to commercial office and others going to single family. Commissioner Rossbach stated that he did not see a clear -cut advantage to the city charging the existing zoning, other than raising the population in Maplewood and meet more of the Met Council guidelines. He felt that it does not address any particular need. It is too expensive, so it is not affordable housing. He felt that in these situation there should be some reason to make this change,: and he does not see that. He stated that without the area resident's support of this project, he would not even consider voting for this zoning change. . is again stated that he dots not see where there is a significant advantage to the city to make this change. Commissioner Ledvina stated that he felt there were a number of ways of transitioning between land uses and different densities in land use is one way of doing that. He stated that he felt the area lends itself to a residential area. Commissioner Ledvina moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council to adopt the land Use Plan Change resolution. This resolution changes land use plan from commercial office (CO) and limited business commercial (LBC) to residential high density (R -3H) for the proposed Afton Ridge housing development on the southeast corner of Lower Afton and McKnight Roads. The city is making this change because the proposal will meet the items identified in the staff report, which are to provide the orderly development of land use, help minimize conflicts between land uses, provide additional moderately priced housing stock and create in -fill development with a density of 9.5 units per acre. Commissioner Ledvina also moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council to adopt the Rezoning Resolution. This resolution changes the zoning map from commercial office (CO) and limited business commercial (LBC) to multi- family residential (R -3) for the proposed Afton Ridge housing development on the southeast corner of Lower Afton and McKnight Roads. The city is making the change 'based on; not detract from the use of neighboring properties, to serve the best interests and conveniences of the community, and has no negativity on the city's public services or facilities. Commissioner Ledvina further recommended the approval of the preliminary and final plat date stamped May 11, 2001. Approval is subject to the applicant meeting the conditions identified in the staff report, conditions la. through h. and adding condition 11. "Modify the preliminary plat drawing to shift buildings one and two and associated roads on the southwest portion of the site 20 -feet to the north" and Items 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 as indicating in the staff report. Commissioner Frost requested amendment to Item C1.d. striking "bituminous" C. Approve the preliminary and final plat date stamped May 11, 2001.

MINUTES OF THE MAPLEWOOD COMMUNITY DESIGN REVIEW BOARD 1830 COUNTY ROAD B EAST, MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA JUNE 12 2001 a. Afton Ridge Townhomes — Thone Builders and Developers, Inc., McKnight Road and Lower Afton Road Shann Finwall, Associate Planner, gave the staff report. She stated that Tim Thone of Thone Builders and Developers is proposing a 40 -unit townhouse development on a 4.22 -acre parcel of land located on the southeast corner of Lower Afton and McKnight Roads. This property is zoned and planned Commercial Office and Limited Business Commercial. The surrounding properties include the Holiday Station Store directly on the corner of McKnight and Lower Afton Roads, the Baffle Creels Regional Park to the north across Lower Afton Road, a strip mail and apartment rental units across McKnight Road in St. Paul, and single- family units directly to the south of the site. Mr. Thone is requesting the following approvals for this development. First, an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan from Commercial Office and Limited Business Commercial to Residential High Density. Second, rezone the property from Commercial Office and Limited .Business Commercial District to Multi- Family Residenbal. Third, preliminary and final plat approval. Fourth, design approval. The Planning Commission did review the comprehensive land use amendment, rezoning, and plat and recommended approval at their June 4, 2001 meeting. Tonight, Mr. Thone is looking for approval of the building, landscaping, lighting, and parking design. Mr. Thone's development includes four buildings with a total of 40 units. Two of the buildings will have access onto McKnight Road; two of the buildings will have access onto Lower Afton Road. The McKnight Road buildings will have six units in each building, all with two -car garages, and front entry with a rear walkout. The Lower Afton Road buildings will include 14 units in each building, with 7 -units on each side, back to back. The interior units of these buildings will have single width garages, but will be two car lengths deep. The exterior units will have two -car wide garages. The buildings will have earth -tone vinyl siding, vinyl shake accents under the windows and .brick exterior on the garage levels. Existing conditions on the site include a number of mature Cottonwood trees interspersed with other deciduous trees and one large pine, located in the middle of the property. According to the proposed grading plan, it appears that a number of the mature trees can be saved. Particularly considering that the Planning Commission did recommend that the buildings located on the McKnight Road side of the development be pushed further to the south towards the Holiday Station Store. The developer is rcCaptive to saving as many of the trees as .possible. The landscape plan submi ed does not depict the trees that will be saved. Therefore, a new landscape plan will be required prior to submittal of the grading permit. There should be landscape screening of the single - family properties, particularly screening from the townhome's vehicle headlights. This will also have to be addressed during the landscape review. Staff feels that this can be accomplished with a grouping of evergreens at the end of all driveways, perhaps six evergreen trees in the groupings. The developer would also like to create screening for the townhomes from the Holiday Station Store. This will be accomplished by a row of deciduous and evergreen trees along the shared property line of the Holiday Station Store. Currently, there is a row of evergreen trees along that property line, but the developer is willing to add more to increase the screening. Community Design Review Board 2 Minutes of 06 -12 -01 There is a bituminous trail with a split -rail fence that currently runs through the middle of this development. It runs from Parkview Lane onto Lower Afton Road. This trail was installed during the platting and construction of the adjacent single - family homes to the south. It was developed in order for that neighborhood to gain access to the bus stop and convenience store at the corner of McKnight and Lower Afton Roads. This trail will remain with this development. Originally planned with this development were four turnaround lanes, which were required by the city's fire marshal. After further review, and the fact that the turnarounds would increase imperwous surface on the property,, it was determined that these turnarounds could better be addressed on the eastern portion of the development by including a 12 -foot wide fire lane to wrap around the driveways, as opposed to including the hammerhead type turnarounds. Staff is recommending that the developer install this 12 -foot wide fire lane with bituminous paving. T.he fire lane would be just for emergency vehicles and walking of individuals in the development. Because of the grade on the western portion of the development, a similar type solution could not be accomplished. The fire marshal did state that this fire lane turnaround could be reduced in size from 120 -feet to 80 -feet in length. Additionally, the width of the turnaround lane can be reduced from 24 -feet to 12 -feet. In order to ensure access for this development to the bus stop and convenience store at the intersection of McKnight and Lower Afton Roads, staff is also proposing that the developer construct a 8 -foot wide concrete sidewalk. Currently there is a concrete sidewalk located in front of the Holiday Station Store, and staff is proposing that the developer continue the sidewalk to most southern end of the development. In addition, to gain access to that corner, staff has proposed an 8 -foot wide bituminous trail be constructed from the driveway on the east side of the development to the existing bituminous trail. Lighting on the property will consist of exterior lights above each garage unit. This proposal will ensure that light will not shine into adjacent properties, which was one of the neighbors' main concerns. Staff feels that this plan will offer enough light within the development for security, particularly since Holiday Station Store is so well lit. With that, staff is recommending approval of the proposal and is requesting that the Board make a motion on Item D of staffs recommendations for design review approval with all conditions attached. Board member Shankar asked what the setback. from McKnight Road to the building was, and does it meet the setback requirements. Ms. Finwall stated that the setback is 30 -feet from McKnight Road and it does currently meet the setback requirement. Board member Shankar stated that the site plan seems to indicate that the building is closer to McKnight Road than the buildings are on Lower Afton Road, which seems to be more than 30- feet. Ms. Finwall stated that was correct. There is approximately a 50 -foot setback from Lower Afton Road on that side of the development. Board member Shankar asked if the elevation that would be seen from the McKnight side would be the side elevation of the building. Community Design Review Board - 3 - Minutes of 06 -12 -01 Ms. Finwall stated that was correct. Mr. Tim Thone, the applicant addressed the board. He stated that he concurs with staff's report. He added that the renderings of the Oxford elevation, the buildings on the McKnight side of the development, shows an 8 -unit building. However, the proposal is for a 6 -unit building. Originally it was proposed for 8- units, but after a neighborhood meeting and meeting with staff, _the plan has been changed to 6- units. Also, the renderings of the larger building that is located on Lower Afton Road shows 8 -units on each side. This building has been reduced to 7 -units on each -side; one middle unit on each side of both buildings has been removed. Board member ;Shankar asked about the four parking stalls off of McKnight. Mr. Thone indicated that two of those parking stalls will be eliminated. He stated that all the units have two -car garages as well as a minimum of 25 -foot long driveways. This will allow for parking of four vehicles per unit which is double the amount required by ordinance. Board member Shankar asked if the 20 -foot setback on the east side is the minimum or is there any room to move all the units to the east, away from McKnight Road. Ms. Finwall stated that the 20 -foot setback is required for the parking area from adjacent residential property. She stated that Mr. Thone wanted to add the four parking spaces along McKnight Road for guest parking. She also stated that if it is felt that these parking spaces take away from the aesthetics of the development, they could be removed. Chair Ledvina stated that several of the units on the McKnight portion of the development step up as it progresses eastward. He added that the roofline will be broken, adding to the aesthetic of the building. Mr. Thone stated that there would be three breaks, going up 16- inches at each break. Board member Olson stated she felt that was a positive enhancement to the building and asked if the units on Lower Afton Road would also be stepped. Mr. Thone stated that the units on Lower Afton Road would not be stepped because the elevation is very fiat in that area. Board member Shankar stated his concern regarding the elevation: of the Oxford units facing McKnight Road. He also stated concern regarding the two parking stalls. He suggested removing the two parking stalls and enhancing the side elevation with additional_ cultured stone. Chair Ledvina suggested adding a fireplace bumpout to the side elevation of the Oxford similar to the ones on the Bradford units on Lower Afton Road. He felt that addition would improve the appearance of that elevation. Chair Ledvina asked Mr. Thone if it were possible to add that type of fireplace bumpout onto the Oxford's side elevation to breakup the expanse of that area and provide some interesting detail. Board member Olson asked about adding another window to that side elevation on the lower level. Community Design Review Board - 4- Minutes of 06 -12 -01 Mr. Thone stated that it would be possible to do a bumpout on that side elevation. However, he did not want to make a commitment at this time until having a draftsman look at the plan. Board member Shankar asked if additional cultured stone could be added to the proposed fireplace bumpout. Mr. Thone stated that he outlines the bumpouts in the same color as the sofits to bring it out. He also added that he would consider placing a half -round window above the existing window on the side elevation. Chair Ledvina suggested that staff work out the details with the applicant regarding the addition of the fireplace burnpout and some added detail. Mr. Thone stated that there is a significant elevation grade change going from north to south. The building on the north is actually, a walk out, which will increase the amount of cultured stone on the bottom by 50 %. He stated that those two buildings will look totally different because one is a walk out and one is not. Chair Ledvina stated concern regarding the turnaround for the southwest portion of the site. He feels that the neighbors' concerns relating to tree loss is a valid concern. He stated that in past developments similar to this project did not require this type of turnaround. Ms. Finwall stated that she had discussed the turnaround issue with the city's fire marshal. He stated that the fire code gave the fire marshal the authority to maintain that access as a turnarounds or, if need be, he could maintain access on all sides of the buildings. The purpose of the turnaround is to ensure that the large emergency vehicles are able to turn around. Taking the turnaround away would require the emergency vehicles to reverse the large vehicles out of the development, which would be difficult. Chair Ledvina stated that he felt from an aesthetic and design prospective, he feels the turnaround detracts from the site. There is also the issue of the amount of pervious versus impervious surface, loss of trees and screening for the neighbors. Board member Olson stated that according to the existing conditions plan, there is one 26 -inch Elm tree in the area of the proposed turnaround. In order to preserve that Elm tree, perhaps the turnaround could be modified. Mr. Thone stated that if the turnaround was totally eliminated, that Elm tree would probably be saved. Additionatly, some retaining walls would have to be built. Mr. Ekstrand stated that the grading plan does show a lot of disturbance on the east side of both of the buildings on the southerly part of the site. He was not sure if eliminating the turnaround would save the Elm tree, based on the grading plan. Ms. Finwall stated that those buildings will be pushed further to the north by 20 -feet, helping save some of the trees in that area. Mr. Ekstrand stated that he agreed with Board member Ledvina's concerns. He stated that the fire marshal has always been very conservative in terms of needing the access. He agrees that it does detract from the site to provide these turnarounds. However, it is hard to argue against public safety. Community Design Review Board -5- Minutes of 06 -12 -01 Chair Ledvina stated that the Board is charged with looking at design issues, and he feels that this would be a design recommendation given to the city council and it is their prerogative to add it in. Mr. Ekstrand stated that staff could re- investigate this issue and talk with the fire marshal to see if there are other options. -Board member Olson stated that she felt we may be negligent if we eliminate the turnaround, forcing the fire trucks to back out of the multi- family units. She felt that if there is no option to save the _Elm tree, there should be major effort made to restoring the landscaping in the area. Mr. Thone stated that he is proposing to plant five clusters of evergreens in that area. They will be large spade Scotch Pines. Chair Ledvina suggested that we perhaps enhance the landscaping on the southwest portion of this site in the vicinity of the parking areas, softening the view of the parking area from McKnight Road. Board member Shankar moved to approve the plans date stamped May 11, 2001 for Afton Ridge Townhomes based on the findings required by code. The developer, Tim Thone, shall do the following: 1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this project. 2. Complete the following before the city issues a building permit: a. Submit a revised landscape plan to staff for approval that incorporates the following details: (1) Location of all existing trees on the site to be preserved. (2) All replacement deciduous trees shall be at least two and one half (2 -1/2) inches in diameter, balled and burlapped. (3) A continuous row of 8-foot high evergreens to be installed along or near the shared property line of the Holiday Station Store. (4) Four groupings of 6 -foot high or larger evergreen trees to be installed at the ends of the driveways. (5) Planting beds to be installed in between the driveways, in front of the entrance doors, to include low maintenance shrubs and perennials that are mulched and edged. (6) An underground lawn irrigation system. (7) Design of wetland buffer signs that are required to be installed at wetland buffer line to state: Wetland Buffer - no mowing, cutting, filling, or dumping. (8) Plantings within the wetland buffer to include native plants. Community Design Review Board -6- Minutes of 06 -12 -01 (9) In addition to the above, all common grounds shall be sodded (except for mulched and edged planting beds and wetland buffer). b. Present a color scheme to staff for approval of each building. c. Submit a certificate of - survey for all new construction and have each building staked by a registered land surveyor. 3. Complete the fallowing before occupying each building: a. Replace property irons that are removed because of this construction. b. Complete all landscaping for the development, including tree replacement, mulched and edged planting beds, wetland buffer plantings and sod. c. Restore and sod damaged boulevards. d. Install address signs at both driveway entrances and above each unit. e. Install wetland buffer signs that prohibit any building, mowing, cutting, filling, or dumping with the buffer. f. Remove all unneeded silt fence from the site. g. There shall be no parking on the 24 -foot wide private drives. The developer shall post the drives with no parking signs. h. There shall be no parking on the fire lane turn - around. The developer shall post the lane with no parking /fire lane signs. L There shall be no driving or parking on the 12 -foot wide fire lane. The developer shall post the lane with fire lane signs and install a fall -down bollard at the entrance of each side of the lane. j. Install stop signs at both driveway exits. k. The urnarounds: for :.fire trucks at the end of the Oxford units be eliminated. 4. If any required work is not done, the city may allow temporary occupancy if: a. The city determines that the work is not essential to the public health, safety or welfare. b. The city receives cash escrow or an irrevocable letter of credit for the required work. The amount shall be 150 percent of the cost of the unfinished work. Any unfinished landscaping shall be completed by June 1 if the building is occupied in the fall or winter, or within six weeks of occupancy if the building is occupied in the spring or summer. Community Design Review Board 7 Minutes of 06 -12 -01 c. The city receives an agreement that will allow the city to complete any unfinished work. 5. All work shall follow the approved plans. The director of community development may approve minor changes. Board member Johnson seconded the motion. Ayes — All Motion carries. This proposal goes before the city council on June 25, 2001.

We went out for bid and received only one. This bid was from the Motorola Corporation. (Because Motorola is on the Minnesota State. Bid, we were not obligated to o out g � for bids but felt that it was, necessary to see what else might be available and at what pricing g) RECOMMENDATION We recommend the City Council to award the bid to the Motorola Corporation in the amount of $197,151.67 for the purchase of the Motorola radio console equipment. c: City Clerk .7 Sa 1VJ v%. • LJL%A 1 s Yr LILL %A iVl b11V t./V111L11.i11iV�biV1L7 1�.VVV1 LiVl Date: June 18, 2001 BACKGROUND The City Council approved the return of police and fire dispatching and the appropriate g ro riate bud et to do so. We went out for quotes on a communication recorder and received two quotes. One quote was from Northland Business Systems for an Audiolog recorder in the amount of $45,013.00 and the other one was from Lofller Business Systems for a TEAC recorder in the amount of $40,997.17. RECOMMENDATION We recommend the City Council to award the quote to Northland Business Systems in the amount of $45,013.00. We realize that this is approximately $5,000 higher than the q uote from Loffler for this type of equipment, but after we reviewed other communication centers and listened to the pros and cons of both systems, we feel that our needs will best be met now and in the future by purchasing the communication recorder from Northland Business System. c: City Clerk AGENDA ITEM MEMO AGENDA REPORT To: Richard Fursman, City MV nager Prom: Steve Luken, Fire Chef St- Subject: Bid Award for 75' Telesquirt Date: June 19, 2001 ,Action by C m il Modified Rejected BACKGROUND This is the final piece of apparatus that was approved by the voters on the fire bond referendum that passed in 1999. We went out to bid and received two bids for the 75' Teles q uirt. One bid was from General Safety Equipment located in forth Branch, Minn esota in the amount of $469,707.00 and the second bid was from Westates, Trucking Equipment located in Woodlawn, CA in the amount of $505,380:00. After reviewing both bids, we felt that it was in the best interest of the City and the fire department to accept the bid from General Safety Equipment. RECOMMENDATION I recommend the City Council to award the bid to General Safety Equipment in the amount of $469,707.00 for the 75' Telesquirt. The completion of this vehicle will take approximately 300 calendar days. c: City Clerk AGENDA ITEM AGENDA REPORT TO: City Manager FRAM: City Engineer SUBJECT: Paver Equipment Purchase DATE: June 15, 2001 Act' on by COUncil Date - Endorsed Modified - Rejected - The 2001 capital outlay budget contains an amount of $37 } 280 for replacement of our existing 1950s era paver. While evaluating replacement equipment options, we were made aware of an : opportunity to upgrade to a self - propelled paver, which is better suited to our paving /patching operations. This machine will allow us more flexibility o Y do maintenance on trails,. walkways and parking lots as well as small overlay projects. The paver is a rental unit with minimal hours of use. The company, Aspen Equipment, has decided to get out of the paver rental business and sell the machine for a price of $22,000. New pavers of this type and size cost approximately $40,000. The paver we propose has been used by our forces to pave park trails and our crew is in concurrence that this is the type and size the city should own. Paver $ 22, 000.00 Trailer 10 Sales tax -2 Grand Total $ 34, 314.97 $2,965.03 less than the budgeted amount. Bequest council approval for purchase of one used Neil model M -450 self- propelled paver and trailer for a total price of $34,314.97. Introduction The Police Department is currently seeking ids for replacemen • g p nt carpeting.. City Council i approval s required for purchases over $15,000, and we are requesting . t the .,lowest bid, q g permission to accep d, estimated to be between $25,000 and $30,000. Because of the time limits we are under, this will allow us to purchase the carp and arra ' ' � p g a for installation without g ut waiting until the next City Council mee on Jul 9 2001. g Y , Background The carpeting n the Police Department is • g the original carpet which was installed when City Hall was built in 1986. With the return of dispatching to the City of y Maplewood, remodeling has had to be done in the Police Department. Walls have been moved in several offices, this has necessitated the replacement of carpeting in those areas. Also, because the department is used 24 • p hours a day, the carpet in many other areas is badly worn and soiled. Rather than replace some of the carpeting now and the rest at a later date, we have requested and received p p p . permission to install new carpeting throughout the entire d e a.rt . p g g e « p ment now. This will eliminate a possible mismatch in dye lots creatin a patchwork effect, Y g p t, and allow the carpet to wear more evenly. By purchasing ur carp now, it will red • 9 p g reduce the amount needed in the CIP for City Hall carpet replacement b $ 25,000 to $30,000. y p y Funds for the carpet purchase will come from p p m the Police Department' s 2001 budget. Recommendation It is recommended that approval be given to accept the low bid f D p or carpet for the Police epartment. Action Requ Submit to City Council for review and approval. pp I.

DSW: js AGENDA .ITEM AGENDA REPORT TO: City Manager A4odified FROM: Assistant City Engineer SUBJECT: Ordering Preparation of Feasibility Studies, (3 Resolutions) 1. English Street, Frost Avenue to Highway 36, Project 01 -14 2. County Road D, White Bear Avenue to Bellaire and Bellaire Street, County Rd. D to Lydia Avenue, Project 01 -15 3. Hazelwood Street, County Road C to St. John's Blvd, Project 01 -16 DATE: June 19, 2001 During the past few years, staff has held neighborhood meetings to kick off a project before beginning any investigative work. Unfortunately there has typically not been much participation in these early project meetings and people have wanted more information than could be provided to them. For the sake of better efficiency and because it is felt that there is great need to do these projects, staff proposes to begin the investigative work before holding any meetings. The neighborhood will be sent information letters this summer to inform them of a proposed project. A future neighborhood meeting will be held with each neighborhood when more information is available to share and to get their comments and feedback. Following the neighborhood meetings, staff would proceed with the completion of the feasibility studies and bring these items before the city council. The summaries below describe the three projects that are proposed in the 2001 CIP for construction beginning in 2002. 1. English Street, Frost Avenue to Highway 36, Project 01 -14 This project has been proposed twice since 1997. Initially it was proposed for construction in 1998, but following a neighborhood meeting in 1997, there were a number of traffic issues brought up by the neighborhood. This segment was excluded from a 1998 project which constructed English Street from Larpenteur Avenue to Frost Avenue. In 1998, following a traffic study of the area, staff attempted to hold another neighborhood meeting with the residents to discuss the construction of this segment of English Street during 1999. There was so little support and participation by the neighborhood and little feedback from a questionnaire, that staff chose not to bring the project along any further. Now in 2001, this segment of street is one of the worst stretches of roadway in the city and is nearly impossible to maintain any further. Staff proposes to meet with the neighborhood after some preliminary investigation work has been completed. Construction is proposed for the 2002 construction season. A not -to- exceed budget of $24,000 has been established for preliminary engineering. 2. Counly Road D White Bear Avenue to Bellaire and Bellaire Street County. Rd. D to Lydia Avenue, Project 01 -15 This stretch of roadway will continue to be ,an important transportation collector for traffic around the Maplewood Mall. This segment of roadway has de raded rapidly, g Y g p Y, and is yet another of the worst stretches of roadway in the city. The segment of street east of McKnight Road will require designation as a State Aid route to make it eligible for State Aid funding. Again, staff proposes to begin investigative work before calling for neighborhood meetings. Construction is proposed for the 2002 construction season. A not -to- exceed budget of $18,000 has been established for preliminary engineering. 3. Hazelwood Street, County. Road C to St. John's Blvd, Project 01 -16 Hazelwood Street from Gervais to County Road C was completed in 2000. This next segment, as identified in the 2001 CIP, is proposed t0 be completed from County Road C to Beam Avenue and from Beam Avenue to St. John's Blvd. This segment of road has become difficult for Maplewood Public Works to maintain over the last few years. This segment of Hazelwood is important as a collector street for the area. The 2001 CIP calls for beginning construction on Hazelwood Street late in the 2002 construction season with completion early in 2003. Again, staff proposes to begin investigative work before holding the first neighborhood meeting. A not -to- exceed budget of $24,000 has been established for preliminary engineering. Staff recommends that the city council separately approve the three attached resolutions to Order the Preparation of Feasibility Studies for 1. English Street, Frost Avenue to Highway 36, Project 01 -14 2. County Road D, White Bear Avenue to Bellaire and Bellaire Street, County Rd. D to Lydia Avenue, Project 01 -15 3.

MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager FROM: Ken Roberts, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Use Agreement and (Memo of Understanding PROJECT: Bachman's LOCATION: 2600 White Bear Avenue DATE: June 15, 2001 INTRODUCTION c € - I � by council Date Endorsed Modified Mr. Tc d Bachman, representing Bachman's Inc., is asking for city council approval of a use agreement and a memo understanding. These agreements would allow Bachman's to expand their outer saw and storage area beh fir store into► part of the German Street right -of- way. (See the neaps on pages 3 -5 and the letter on page 6.) BACKGROUND On April 20 1989, the city council m ade ade several approvals for Bachman's. These included a parking reduction authorization, a rezoning for part of the German Street right -of -way, a street vacation and plan approval. These were for Bachman's to remodel and expand the former Windsor N ursery Store into a Bachman's retail store and outdoor sales site. (See the council minutes starting on page 7.) DISCUSSION Bachman's has, been. a great addition to the -cry. The proposed plan will allow Bachman's to regrade their outdoor storage area to lessen the steepness of this grade and will reduce the amount of bituminous surface area in the storage area. This revised plan should have less impact on the existing wetland east of Bachman's than the current site conditions. However, the applicant will need to get the approval of the city engineer and the watershed district of the final grading, drainage and erosion control plans before they may start the construction. The city attorney and Bachman's attorney have reviewed the proposed memo of understanding (starting on page 10). This agreement will allow Bachman"s to use part of the German Street right -of -way for the expansion of their outdoor sales area. The city has no current use for this right-of-way. RECOMMENDATION Direct staff to sign and record the proposed memo of understanding for Bachman's starting on page 10. This agreement will allow Bachman"s to u part of the German Street right-of-way for a g Y the expansion of their outdoor storage area. This approval shall be subject to the city engineer and watershed district first: approving the grading, drainage and erosion control plans. REFERENCE SITE DESCRIPTION Site size: 4.31 acres Existing land use: Bachman's Store and outside sales yard SURROUNDING LAND USES North: A multi- tenant commercial buiiding and single dwelling on County Road C South: Ramsey County ditch and a mul ti- tenant office building West: white Bear Avenue and several small businesses East: Ramsey County open space and wetlands PLANNING Land Use Plan designation: IBC (business commercial) Zoning: BC Ordinance Requirements Section 25 -70 of the city code requires that the city make the following findings to approve plans: 1.

Our retail store and outdoor sales area have served the community well since 1989, but now the outdoor sales area is showing its age and needs some improvement. The outdoor sales area lies east and north of our retail sales building and slopes rather dramatically to the east. We would like to regrade this area, adding .approximately two feet of fill at the lowest points, to g ive us about a 3% grade away from the building. This grade will be more compatible for the use of shopping carts and lessen the chance of a run -away cart and accidents. At the same time, we would like to move the east boundary of our fence line to the east side of the existing roadbed on the back of the property (see attached drawings)., This will give us some much - needed expansion space, as we have seen our business grow over the :past twelve years. We believe an important feature of this new plan is a reduction of bituminous use of 30 %. All ground beds will be changed to crushed rock from bituminous asphalt to allow for downward percolation of water. Remaining rain water will be channeled, as in the past, to north or south catch basins on the property. With City approval, we would like to start this project around July 15, 2001, removing the existing asphalt, establishing the new grade. and finally, putting in our walks and crushed rock ground beds. We would hope to have the project completed within, six-to- Thank you for your consideration of this important improvement to our property in Maplewood. If you, Melinda Coleman, or Chuck AN has any questions regarding the project, please feel free to give me a call (612 -861- 7644). Sincerely, Todd t,.
