Agenda Item F1
PROCLAMATION
FINANCIAL PLANNING WEEK
Whereas, the financial planning process allows individuals to achieve their
dreams by empowering them to identify and manage realistic financial goals and
negotiate the financial barriers that arise at every stage of life;
Whereas, everyone can benefit from knowing about the value of financial
planning and where to turn for objective financial advice;
Whereas, the Financial Planning Association is the membership organization for
the financial planning community, representing 29,000 members dedicated to
supporting the financial planning process as a way to help individuals achieve
their goals and dreams;
Whereas, the Financial Planning Association believes that everyone needs
objective advice to make smart financial decisions and that when seeking the
advice of a financial planner, the planner should be a CFP® professional;
Whereas, the Financial Planning Association is dedicated to helping individuals
discover the value of financial planning;
Now, therefore, I, Mayor Cardinal, by virtue of the authority vested in me as
Mayor of the City of Maplewood, do hereby proclaim October 3 -9, 2005 as
Financial Planning Week in Maplewood.
ISSUED: This day of 2005

Agenda Item F2
Proclamation
WHEREAS, in the year 2005, the week of September 26- October 1 has been declared
"DOLLAR WISE" Week for the Mayors' National DOLLAR WI$E Campaign; and
WHEREAS, the United States Conference of Mayors Council for the New American City
recognizes that financial illiteracy is a national problem that needs to be addressed, and has
established the 2005 "DOLLAR WISE" Campaign to educate citizens about financial literacy;
and
WHEREAS, the United States Congress has established the Financial Literacy and Education
Commission to improve the financial literacy and education of citizens through the development
of a national strategy to promote financial literacy education; and
WHEREAS, over 1.5 million families and individuals filed for bankruptcy in 2004; and the level
of personal bankruptcy filings in the nation increased over 535 percent between 1980 and 2002,
and various states have experienced increased bankruptcies that are 2 and 3 times the national
increase; and
WHEREAS, education provides the skills necessary to succeed and empowers citizens to take
charge of their financial futures to secure their own well being and that of their families; and
WHEREAS, savings give families financial stability, and teaching children how to save at a
young age can help them become financially responsible adults; and
WHEREAS, credit card debt has tripled between 1990 and 2000, growing from $240 billion to
$690 billion, and is currently approaching 1 trillion dollars, and one third of consumers carry their
balances over from month to month which leads to financial distress; and as long as credit is
readily available and credit education is scarce, the problem will continue to compound; and
WHEREAS, alongside business investors, the most important investors in American cities are
families and individuals who choose to buy a home or start their own business within the city,
and in order to position themselves as investors, residents must be financially literate and
maintain good credit histories.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Bob Cardinal Mayor of the City of Maplewood, do hereby proclaim the
week of September 26- October 1, 2005 as "DOLLAR WISE" Week in the City of Maplewood,
and urge all citizens in our community and throughout the country to participate in "DOLLAR
WI E" Week.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Office of
Mayor to be affixed this 12` day of September, 2005.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Richard Fursman, City Manager
FROM:
Shann Finwall, AICP, Planner
SUBJECT:
Conditional Use Permit Review
APPLICANT:
John Schmelz — Countryside Motors
LOCATION:
1180 Highway 36 East
DATE:
September 6, 2005
INTRODUCTION
John Schmelz's conditional use permit (CUP) for the expansion of a nonconforming automobile
repair facility and sales /storage lot at Countryside Motors, 1180 Highway 36 East, is due for
review. The sales /storage lot was constructed of an innovative, environmentally beneficial
pavement surface called Uni Eco -Stone and can accommodate the storage of up to 200
automobiles. The parking lot was designed to reduce stormwater runoff through infiltration within
the surface, which alleviates the need for a large stormwater pond.
BACKGROUND
On March 31, 2003, the city council approved a CUP for the expansion of a nonconforming
automobile repair facility and automobile sales /storage lot (both located closer than the required
350 feet to residential property). Refer to the March 31, 2003, city council minutes attached.
On April 26, 2004, the city council approved the CUP and requested review again in one year.
DISCUSSION
The addition to the Saab building and the sales /storage lot were complete in the fall of 2003.
Chuck Ahl, Public Works Director, states that the city's engineering department and the
watershed district have been monitoring the new pervious pavement system and find that the
storm water permeation results are favorable. Staff inspected the site to ensure compliance with
the CUP and found all conditions were being met except that some of the required landscaping
has died (four evergreen and one ornamental tree). All required landscaping which is dead or in
poor health should be replaced by the end of the planting season this year (October 2005).
RECOMMENDATION
Approve John Schmelz's conditional use permit for the expansion of a nonconforming automobile
repair facility and sales /storage lot at Countryside Motors located at 1180 Highway 36 East, and
review the conditional use permit again in one year.

Conditional Use Permit Review
Ronald and Connie Launderville
2194 Van Dyke Street
September 6, 2005
Agenda Item G.3
Ronald and Connie Launderville's conditional use permit (CUP) to store a heavy commercial
vehicle on their residential property at 2194 Van Dyke Street is due for review. The Laundervilles
operate a towing business at 6995 — 55` Street in Oakdale and the CUP allows them to store one
of their tow trucks at their home in Maplewood.
Background
January 28, 1991: The city council granted a CUP for the storage of two heavy commercial
vehicles (one -ton tow trucks) in an R -1 (Single Dwelling Residential) zoning district as well as a
related home occupation license to operate a towing business from a residential property.
February 25, 1992: The city council reviewed the CUP and approved a right -of -way user permit.
This permit allows the Laundervilles to use the unimproved Sandhurst Avenue right -of -way for
access to their property.
November 1, 1992: The CUP and home occupation license expired.
March 3, 1993: The city council granted a new CUP to allow the storage of one heavy commercial
vehicle (one -ton tow truck) in an R -1 (Single Dwelling Residential) zoning district, subject to the
following conditions:
1. The tow truck shall be parked in the garage when it is on the property.
2. Mr. Launderville shall not store towed vehicles on this site, unless he or his family owns the
vehicles.
3. There shall be no outdoor storage of junk or inoperable vehicles or vehicle parts on the
property.
4. There shall be no storage or repair of vehicles on the site, except those owned by people
living on the property.
5. There shall be no overnight parking of vehicles on Van Dyke Street (per city code).
6. The city council shall review this permit in one year to make sure that the conditions are
being met.
April 11, 1994; April 10, 1995; April 22, 1996; May 27, 1997; June 22, 1998; July 9, 2001: The city
council reviewed the CUP and requested a review again in one year.
September 23, 2002: The city council reviewed the CUP and Sandhurst Avenue right -of -way user
permit. The city council amended the user permit to allow the southwest corner (approximately 10
feet) of a 6- foot -high wood fence to remain in the Sandhurst Avenue right -of -way until the fence is
removed or destroyed and requested the review of the CUP again in one year.
December 8, 2003: The city council tabled the Launderville's 2003 CUP review due to Ronald
Launderville Sr.'s health problems.
April 12, 2004: The city council approved the CUP and requested a review again in one year
DISCUSSION
The Laundervilles have relocated their business ( Launderville Towing) from its previous location at
2285 Seventh Street in North St. Paul to 6995 — 55` Street in Oakdale. The new location has
storage facilities for all of the tow trucks, and as such the Laundervilles have less of a need to store
one of the tow trucks on their residential property in Maplewood. However, the Laundervilles
would like to maintain the CUP in order to allow occasional storage of a tow truck in the event that
they need to bring a truck home between calls or overnight.
Since last year's review of the CUP, staff has not received any complaints from neighbors
regarding the storage of the commercial vehicle on the property or the use of the unused
Sandhurst Avenue right -of -way, which was a concern last year.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Launderville's conditional use permit for the storage of one commercial vehicle on the
residential property at 2194 Van Dyke Street, and review the conditional use permit again in one
year.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager
FROM: Steve Lukin, Fire Chief /Acting Emergency Management Director
SUBJECT: Revisions to the Landfall Fire Agreement
DATE: September 1, 2005
INTRODUCTION
The city of Maplewood provides fire service to the city of Landfall by way of contract agreement.
This agreement has not been updated or amended since 2002; therefore, we have made the
following changes:
1. In the past, this agreement had to be approved by both city councils each year.
Now, the new agreement is open ended with a termination clause that has been
added. Therefore, it is not necessary to come before both councils each year for
approval unless there are changes made to this agreement.
2. Since 2002, the contract price has been $10,000 per year. For 2006, we are
changing that amount to $10,500 with an addition that each year the contract
amount will change by the consumer price index utilized by the Maplewood Finance
Department. We also have a set charge for additional calls over 25 calls per years
in the amount of $485 per call. This will also change each year by the consumer
price index.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the city council approve the changes stated to the Landfall contract agreement
for the city of Maplewood to provide fire service to the city of Landfall.
Att,
AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE FIRE SERVICE
This Agreement made and entered into this day of , 20 , by and between the City of

Landfall. Maplewood hereby agrees to provide fire service for Landfall, and Landfall hereby engages
Maplewood to provide such service in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement.
II. LEGAL BASIS
This Agreement is made pursuant to Minnesota Statute Section 471.59, Subdivision 12. This
Agreement is not made pursuant to Minnesota Statute Section 436.06, and should not be construed as
creating a joint municipal fire department.
NOW, THEREFORE, Landfall and Maplewood, in consideration of the following provisions and
covenants, do hereby enter into this Agreement and contract in consideration of the following provisions
and covenants, do hereby agree as follows, to -wit:
1. Landfall hereby engages the services of Maplewood to answer fire calls, emergencies related to fire
protection and fight fires within the bounds of the described fire district from January 1, 2006 until
canceled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
2. Maplewood agrees to answer all fire calls directed to it by the public for assistance in fighting fires
of any nature and description within the limits of the fire district.
3. The fire district is Landfall which is described as follows, bounded on the south by Hudson
(Interstate Highway 94) and on the east, north and west by the City of Oakdale. For each year of the

Dollars ($10,500.00) subject to cost of living increases as set forth in paragraph 4, below. This
yearly payment will cover responses for up to 25 calls per year. Payments shall be made quarterly
on or before the first days of March, June, September and December. A payment made after the due
date is subject to one percent (1 %) service charge each part or full seven (7) day period it is late. If
there are more than 25 calls in a one year period (calculated from January 1 st of each year), Landfall
will pay Maplewood Four Hundred and Eighty -Five Dollars ($ 485.00) for each additional call,
subject to cost of living increases as set forth in paragraph 4, below. Payments for these additional
calls shall be made no later than thirty (30) days after the date that Landfall receives an invoice from
Maplewood for responses to the calls.
4. Charges for 2006 fire services are set forth in paragraph 3, above. Charges for services
for subsequent years shall be progressive, based upon a cost of living increase as
determined by the Minneapolis /St. Paul Consumer Index (or other consumer index
utilized by Maplewood's Finance Department) being added to the amount paid in the
previous year. The product shall be the amount payable during the ensuing calendar year
to Maplewood by Landfall for services under this Agreement. On the first day of July of
each year, Maplewood shall notify Landfall in writing of the calculated costs for fire
services for the following calender year.
5. Maplewood shall fully cooperate with and comply with such reasonable requests from
Landfall as shall be necessary for reports and other data.

of the area.
10. This Agreement may be terminated upon one hundred eighty (180) days' written notice
provided to the other party's city manager or city cleric In the event of such termination,
payment shall be made to the City of Maplewood on a pro -rata basis until services cease.

APPROVAL OF CISCO EQUIPMENT PURCHASE FOR STORAGE AREA NETWORK
TO: City Manager
FROM: Mychal Fowlds
SUBJECT: Recommend Council approval of funds
DATE: August 30, 2005
INTRODUCTION
In an attempt to provide our users with as much uptime as possible I am recommending the following
project.
Project Description
The project entails adding two heavy duty network devices that will be the "brain" of our network. This will
allow us to have redundant connections to all major network devices and servers.
Recent Approvals
The funds for this project were included and approved in our budget for 2005.
DISCUSSION
Currently we have no redundancy in our connections. If the current "brain" becomes unavailable we will be
dead in the water. In the future if one of the "brain's" becomes inactive the other one will seamlessly take
full control. This allows for zero downtime for employees and no work stoppage.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve the purchase of the stated equipment.

Agenda Item G7
MEMORANDUM
TO: Richard Fursman, City Manager
FROM: DuWayne Konewko, Environmental Manager
SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Temporary Contract for Food Inspection Services
DATE: August 23, 2005
INTRODUCTION
The City of Maplewood has a delegation agreement with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) that
requires the city to conduct inspections of all the restaurants located in the city. The number of inspections
required at a particular restaurant is determined by the risk level of that restaurant. Restaurants are divided
into three risk categories: high, medium, and low. The minimum inspection frequency for each respective
risk category is 12, 18, and 24 months. A high risk restaurant must be inspected at least once every twelve
months, and so on.
Background
The delegation agreement with the MDH requires the city to maintain these levels of inspection frequencies
for restaurants located in the city.
DISCUSSION
In order to maintain these inspection frequencies and remain in compliance with the MDH delegation
agreement, the City has retained the services of a licensed food inspector. The food establishment
inspection services contract calls for the performance of food establishment inspection services by the
inspector as an independent contractor, and the inspector will not be considered an employee of the
City for any purpose. The contract is temporary and will terminate on December 30, 2005.
Under the contract, the City will pay the inspector $55.00 per hour (no reimbursement for travel and
mileage) for restaurant inspection services performed until December 30, 2005. Due to a reorganization of
staff, monies are available in the 2005 budget to pay for this contract. The contract requires the inspector to
complete at least 20 food establishment inspections per month during the duration of this contract. The City
will select the food establishments for inspection each month and provide the inspector with copies of
previous inspections. The City and inspector will be meeting at least once a month to go over the previous
inspections and discuss any issues that may have surfaced during the inspections. The contract also
contains an indemnification clause and requires the inspector to provide insurance coverage as determined
by the City Attorney.
The City will also be inspecting food establishments during this time. In addition, the City will be hiring a
part time employee who will be performing this service starting January 1, 2006. This part time position will
work 24 hours a week and will be responsible for inspections at all food establishments within the City.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff is requesting approval from City Council to enter into a temporary contract with a licensed inspector to
perform food establishment inspection services.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager
FROM: Charles Ahl, Director of Public Works /City Engineer
DuWayne Konewko, Environmental Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution for DNR Conservation Partners Grant Program Award
DATE: August 25, 2005
IL III I :IQ millet IIQL1
The City of Maplewood received a $20,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) Conservation Partners Grant Program. The grant will be used to assist City staff in implementing
the outcomes of the City Hall Campus Project.
Background
With support and direction of City Council, staff worked with a landscape architect to develop a City Hall
Campus Plan. The impetus behind the development of the City Hall Campus Plan was to lead by example
and showcase environmentally sound development practices around the campus. To this end, staff
developed a list of thirteen projects that will be implemented around the campus. These projects include
restoration work, native plantings, rain gardens, collection ponds, trails, utilizing different runoff treatment
technologies, and the removal of buckthorn.
DISCUSSION
One of the goals staff hopes to achieve with these projects is the ability to conduct and gather research on
different technological advances for applications on porous pavement and sediment control. Another goal
of this project is to showcase and demonstrate a few of these projects to aid in creating "hands -on" learning
opportunities for educating students, residents, and businesses in the community. Staff agreed to
complete these projects within three to five years.
Staff understands the challenges with funding these thirteen projects as well as other campus improvement
projects. In order to help offset some of the costs associated with these campus improvements, staff put
together a grant application for the DNR Conservation Partners Grant Program. Ms. Sherri Buss, a
landscape architect from Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, worked with staff in the writing of

SUBJ: Approval of Fall Clean -Up Event Scheduled for October 15, 2005
DATE: August 22, 2005
The 2005 fall clean -up event has been scheduled for October 15, 2005, at Gethsemane Lutheran Church,
2410 Stillwater Avenue, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. I am recommending that we continue collecting the same
fees that were used at the 2005 spring and 2004 fall clean -up events. The City targets a collection rate of
30 to 40% of disposal costs (a 60 to 70% subsidy rate) with these fees. Staff will evaluate the results of the
fall clean -up event and present findings to the City Council. The flyer that staff will be using to promote the
event is provided below:
MAPLEWOOD'S
FALL CLEAN -UP DAY
The city will be holding a fall clean -up event from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm on October 15 in the Gethsemane
Lutheran Church (2410 Stillwater Avenue) parking lot. Please enter from Bartelmy Lane.
Due to budget cuts, fees will be charged to Maplewood residents who utilize this service to help defray the
costs associated with sponsoring this event. Proof of residency will be required. The fee schedule is listed
below. The city will begin separating electronics from the waste stream and removing the hazardous
components which increases the cost of this event. The fee schedule is set up to absorb approximately
25% to 35% of the total cost for disposal. The city will assume the remaining 65% to 75% of the cost.
Maplewood residents will be able to dispose of old appliances, computers, monitors, TVs, tires,
construction debris, mattresses, old furniture, car parts, scrap metal, and other assorted junk (refer
to charges below for disposal cost). No brush or tree waste will be accepted.
In conjunction with the clean up, the city will be sponsoring a food drive for the Second Harvest Food
Bank. Containers will be set up to collect food items. Tuna, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese,
canned soups, stews, infant items, dried foods, and cash are needed.

SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Joint Powers Agreement with City of Oakdale for Joint
Sewage System
DATE: August 25, 2005
INTRODUCTION
The City of Maplewood and the City of Oakdale entered into a joint sewer use agreement on October 14,
1996. The agreement allowed Oakdale to convey sanitary sewage into Maplewood's sanitary sewer
system.
Background
The City of Oakdale has increased the amount of flow through Maplewood. An adjustment to the rate paid
by Oakdale is required through a revised agreement. Attached is the proposed agreement as agreed upon
by the engineering staff from each City. Approval is recommended.
RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council to adopt the changes in agreement with the City of Oakdale and file the amended
agreement with the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) for adjusted billing.
Attachment:
1. Agreement
Agenda Item G10
AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into by and between the City of Maplewood, a municipal
corporation of the State of Minnesota, hereinafter referred to as "MAPLEWOOD" and the City of Oakdale,
a municipal corporation of the State of Minnesota, hereinafter referred to as "OAKDALE."
WHEREAS, Oakdale has requested permission from Maplewood to connect a portion of its public
sanitary sewer system to the Maplewood sanitary sewer system for the purpose of transporting sanitary
sewage from Lift Station 7 service area in Oakdale, and the following agreement is intended to reflect the
mutual understanding and agreement to accomplish this purpose.
NOW, THEREFORE, Oakdale and Maplewood do hereby mutually agree as follows:
1. Maplewood does hereby grant permission to Oakdale to connect Oakdale's sanitary sewer
conveying sanitary sewage from Lift Station 7 service area in the vicinity of Stillwater Boulevard and TH
120 to the Maplewood sewer system and Maplewood Lift Station 6 located on Lakewood Drive at Beaver
Lake. Oakdale shall provide at least 15 -day notice prior to constructing the sewer connection to the
Maplewood sewage system and shall allow Maplewood Public Works Department inspectors an opportunity
to view the connection before covering up the construction work Oakdale shall assume all costs connected
with the construction of its sanitary sewage system and the connection to the Maplewood lift station and
sewer system.
2. The Oakdale sewer system to be connected to the Maplewood sewer system shall be used
solely for the purpose of conveying sanitary sewage, and Oakdale shall not permit any storm water runoff to
be connected to the sewer system.
3. Oakdale shall be solely responsible for all maintenance, repairs and claims for damages or
injuries caused to any person or property whatsoever or from any cause whatsoever relating to the properties
or persons served by the Oakdale sanitary sewer. Oakdale agrees to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend
Maplewood from any and all claims for damages to persons or property that arise or that may claim to arise
from any reason relating to the sewers owned and maintained by Oakdale and that are hereby authorized to
be connected to the Maplewood sewer system.
4. It is agreed between the parties hereto that the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services
shall estimate the amount of sanitary sewage attributable to the Oakdale properties hereby authorized to be
connected to this Maplewood sewer system and shall accordingly charge Oakdale for its proportionate cost
of sewage treatment, conveyance, and related costs in its annual billings. Oakdale and Maplewood shall
cooperate with and provide all necessary information to the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services
so as to permit the proper billing to Oakdale and credit to Maplewood for this sewage.
5. Maplewood shall operate and maintain the Maplewood Lift Station 6, and the cost of
operation and maintenance shall be shared by Oakdale and Maplewood in the following manner:
Agenda Item G10
Oakdale's estimated average daily flow will be compared to the actual average daily flow for
Maplewood Lift Station 6. The actual annual operation and maintenance cost will be shared
on a proportionate basis between Oakdale and Maplewood. Oakdale's present estimated
daily flow is 62,000 gallons per day as calculated by Short, Elliott, Hendrickson, Inc. which
is on file. Oakdale may submit documentation to identify a new estimated average daily flow
based on changed conditions. Maplewood cannot unreasonably deny a request to adjust the
Oakdale estimated average daily flow. Maplewood shall submit an annual billing before
March 1 of each year.
AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT
Maplewood has documented there has been a change in the daily average flows from original
agreement. Maplewood has metered daily flows at the point of connection from October 19,
2001, to October 23, 2002. Howard R. Green Company was hired to meter and record data.
Maplewood is requesting to adjust average daily flows to reflect new data collected from
metering. Maplewood recommends the existing daily average flows be amended to 83,450
gallons daily and have MCES reflect such change in billing.
All major repairs or replacements to the Maplewood Lift Station 6 shall be performed by Maplewood
and the costs incurred therefore shall be shared between the parties hereto with Oakdale paying a
proportionate share based on comparison of average daily flows.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this agreement on this _ day of
, 2005.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Manager
FROM: Chuck Ahl, Director of Public Works /City Engineer
SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Grading Costs at Larpenteur and Adolphus
DATE: September 1, 2005
INTRODUCTION
The City of Maplewood sold a parcel of properties at Larpenteur and Adolphus to Krongard Construction,
Inc. The property had bad soils that were corrected by the city staff. An additional area of correction that is
partially the responsibility of the City needs work. Authorization for these additional costs is recommended.
Background
The sale of the property at Larpenteur and Adolphus included information showing the correction of the
property to allow construction of 11 townhome units. The City staff corrected those soils and provided the
purchaser with a plan showing the work. A portion of the work was necessary to provide for positive
drainage flow from and protection of the ponding area. A small amount of correction work, up to $16,000,
is needed for the soils near the ponding area. An agreement has been reached with Krongard
Construction to share these costs on a 50 /50 basis. Final costs will be determined as the work is
completed. The City share of $8,000 ($16,000 x 50 %) is eligible to be paid from the Environmental Utility
Fund since the work is related to grading near the ponding area and to provide for the proper overflow
elevations on structures.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Director of Public Works /City Engineer to incur up to
$8,000 from the Environmental Utility Fund for extra grading costs as needed for the property sold to
Krongard Construction, Inc. at Larpenteur and Adolphus.

SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Joint Powers Agreement with City of St. Paul for Joint
Sewage System
DATE: August 31, 2005
IL III I :IQ millet IIQL1
The City of Maplewood and the City of St. Paul are entering into an agreement that allows Maplewood to
convey sanitary sewage into St. Paul's sanitary sewer system.
Background
The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) has declared that their sanitary sewer
interceptor known as 1 -SP -214 no longer meets their criteria as a regional interceptor because its flow is
less than 200,000 gallons per day and, by law, MCES must re- convey the interceptor to the City of St.
Paul. Because both the City of St. Paul and the City of Maplewood contribute sanitary flow to the
interceptor and because the City of St. Paul has agreed to accept ownership of the interceptor, the City of
St. Paul has proposed an agreement that is intended to establish the conditions of the interceptor's joint
use by the cities of St. Paul and Maplewood.
St. Paul will grant permission to Maplewood to allow Maplewood Sanitary Sewer Districts 33(S) and 35(S)
that currently drain into the interceptor to continue to do so in exchange for Maplewood's sharing of the
maintenance and replacement costs of the interceptor. It is also mutually agreed that MCES will charge
Maplewood for its proportionate cost of sewage treatment annually for its flow into the interceptor. It is
further agreed that Maplewood will annually reimburse St. Paul for the maintenance costs for 0.5206 miles
of the interceptor at a cost of $5,062 per mile, or $2,635 for the year 2006 based on the 2006 St. Paul
Public Works Sewer Maintenance budget of $5,770,568. Attached is the proposed agreement as mutually
agreed upon by the engineering staffs from each City. Approval is recommended.
RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council to adopt the agreement with the City of St. Paul and file the agreement with the
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) for adjusted billing.
Attachment:
1. Agreement
Agreement Between the
City of Saint Paul
and the
City of Maplewood
This agreement ( "Agreement ") is dated this day of September 2005 by and
between the CITY OF SAINT PAUL, a home rule charter City under the laws of the State of
Minnesota, (hereinafter referred to as "ST. PAUL "), and the CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, a
municipal corporation of the State of Minnesota (hereinafter referred to as "MAPLEWOOD ").
WHEREAS, The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services has declared that their
interceptor known as 1 -SP -214, as described in Exhibit A (hereinafter referred to as
"INTERCEPTOR "), no longer meets their criteria as a regional interceptor because its flow is
less than 200,000 gallons per day; and
WHEREAS, by law the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services must reconvey the
interceptor to St. Paul and;
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services has agreed to make repairs to the
interceptor so that it is reconveycd in good condition, and
WHEREAS, both St. Paul and Maplewood contribute sanitary flow to the interceptor, and
WHEREAS, St. Paul has agreed to accept ownership of the interceptor.
NOW, THEREFORE, this agreement is intended to establish the conditions of the interceptor's
joint use by St. Paul and Maplewood and they hereby mutually agree as follows:
St. Paul does hereby grant pennission to Maplewood to allow Maplewood Sanitary Sewer
Districts 33(S) and 35(S) that currently drain into the interceptor at the locations shown in
Exhibit 13 to continue to do so in exchange for Maplewood's sharing of maintenance and
replacement costs of the interceptor.
2. The Maplewood sewer system to be connected to the St. Paul sewer system shall be used
solely for the propose of conveying sanitary sewage. Maplewood shall not permit storm
water, clear water or inflow and infiltration exceeding standards set by the Metropolitan
Council Environmental Services to be connected to the interceptor.
Maplewood shall save St. Paul harmless from any damage, cost or expense; and fully
indemnify St. Paul against any and all liability sustained by reason of the connection, or the
maintenance of connections hereunder, between the public sewer system of Maplewood
and the public sewer system of St. Paul by reason of any damage, cost, expense or loss that
may be sustained by Maplewood, its inhabitants or any other person or persons connected
with the use of Maplewood's public sewer system, or by diversion into Maplewood's
public sewer system of roof water or storm water drainage. This agreement is entered into
pursuant to all of the terms, provision and conditions of Chapter 80 (Sewer Contracts,
Suburbs) of the Legislative Code of St. Paul.
4. It is agreed between the parties hereto that the Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services (MCES) shall estimate the amount of sanitary sewage attributable to the
Maplewood properties hereby authorized to be connected to the newly reconveyed
interceptor, and shall accordingly charge Maplewood for its proportionate cost o f sewage
treatment, conveyance in MCES interceptors, and related costs in its annual billings.
Maplewood and Saint Paul shall cooperate with, and provide all necessary information to
the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services so as to permit the proper billing to
Maplewood and credit to Saint Paul for its sewage.
Maplewood agrees to annually reimburse Saint Paul an amount equal to the sum of the
products of the distance of each joint -use sewer segment, times the percentage of flow
originating within Maplewood to the total sewer flow, times an annual sanitary sewer
maintenance cost per mile, as established herein. Exhibit C tabulates the Maplewood flow
to total flow percentage for the various segments of the joint -use sewers based on
calculated Residential Equivalent Connection (REC) units. Should the use of these
percentages be unsatisfactory as basis of maintenance cost apportionment to either party,
then they may be superseded by a revised determination of REC units or field checks of
Page 2
actual flow rates. Exhibit C also tabulates the proportionate mileage of joint -use sanitary
sewer on which Maplewood's annual reimbursement to Saint Paul is based.
6. On or before February 1 of each year, Saint Paul shal I submit to Maplewood
documentation of the St. Paul Department of Public Works Sewer Maintenance annual
budget and summation of mileage of sewer, irrespective of size or type. The amrual
sanitary sewer maintenance cost utilized for the purposes of this agreement, shall be the
annual Saint Paul Department of Public Works Sewer Maintenance budget ($5,770,568 for
2006), divided by the mileage of sewer within Saint Paul (1254 miles in 2006) times 110
percent, to account for other administrative, depreciation, and related overhead expenses
not included within the sewer maintenance division budget. For 2006, the annual
maintenance cost per mile is agreed to be $5062.
Maplewood shall make payment to Saint Paul within thirty days of receipt of invoice for
the maintenance -cost sharing amount as determined by the basis set forth in this agreement
for the current calendar year.
8. In the event that it is necessary to reconstruct or replace part or all of the existing joint -use
sewers, Maplewood will recompense Saint Paul based on the percentages of Maplewood's
flow as show in Appendix C for the segments to be reconstructed or replaced. If
replacement is needed because Maplewood wishes to convey additional [low, that cost will
be paid by Maplewood.
9. This agreement shall be pennanently binding on both parties unless it is terminated by
mutual consent, or in the event that sewerage facilities that allow a connection to the
Metropolitan Council Envirommental Services interceptor system within Maplewood
become available and obviates the stated purpose of this agreement.

Project Description
Mr. Chris English, representing Integra Homes, is asking the city to approve plans for a 28 -unit
townhouse development. He has prepared a site plan that shows 28 townhouses (in 14 detached
townhomes and seven twinhomes) in a development called The Woodlands. It would be on an 8.2-
acre site on the east side of McMenemy Street, north of Kingston Avenue and south of the Hmong
Church. Please refer to the applicant's statement and the maps in the project review memorandum
and the project plans for more information about this proposal.
Requests
To build this project, Mr. English is requesting that the city approve:
1. A change to the comprehensive plan. This would be from R -1 (single dwelling residential) to R-
2 (single and double dwellings) for the site.
2. A change to the zoning map. This would be from F (farm residential) to R -2 (single and double
dwellings) for the site.
3. A conditional use permit (CUP) for a planned unit development (PUD). This PUD will allow the
townhouses to be on smaller lots than code usually allows (in area and in width) and to have
some of them on private driveways.
4. The partial vacation of the Edgemont Street right -of -way, north of Kingston Avenue.
5. A preliminary plat for 29 lots - 28 lots for the 28 housing units and one lot (Lot 29) for the
ponding areas.
6. The project design plans, including the landscaping and the building elevations.
DISCUSSION
Since the city council first reviewed this proposal on August 8, 2005, the developer revised the
project plans in response to concerns and suggestions expressed by the CDRB, the city council and
from city staff. A major change was to revise the grading plans to lessen the size and eliminate many
of the retaining walls in the development. The project engineer also has revised the cul -de -sacs, the
streets and the driveways to meet the suggestions of the CDRB to accommodate parking and
sidewalks. The city engineer has reviewed the revised plans and has found they are much better
than the earlier proposal.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff is recommending approval of the requests of the developer for the Woodlands of Maplewood.

INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Mr. Chris English, representing Integra Homes, is asking the city to approve plans for a 28 unit
townhouse development. He has prepared a site plan that shows 28 townhouses (in 14 detached
townhomes and seven twinhomes) in a development called The Woodlands. It would be on a 8.2-
acre site on the east side of McMenemy Street, north of Kingston Avenue and south of the Hmong
Church. Refer to the engineer's letter on page 23 and the maps on pages 24 - 32. A homeowners'
association would own and maintain the common areas.
The applicant's designer has told staff that each building would have horizontal -lap vinyl siding,
aluminum soffits and fascia and brick veneer on the fronts. In addition, each unit would have a two -
car garage. (See the building elevations on pages 33 — 37 and the enclosed plans.)
Requests
To build this project, Mr. English is requesting that the city approve:
1. A change to the comprehensive plan. This would be from R -1 (single dwelling residential) to R-
2 (single and double dwellings) for the site. (See the land use map on page 26.)
2. A change to the zoning map. This would be from F (farm residential) to R -2 (single and double
dwellings) for the site.
3. A conditional use permit (CUP) for a planned unit development (PUD). This PUD will allow the
townhouses to be on smaller lots than code usually allows (in area and in width) and to have
some of them on private driveways.
4. The partial vacation of the Edgemont Street right -of -way, north of Kingston Avenue.
5. A preliminary plat for 29 lots - 28 lots for the 28 housing units and one lot (Lot 29) for the
ponding areas. (See the preliminary plat date - stamped August 29, 2005 on page 28.)
6. The project design plans, including the landscaping and the building elevations. (See the plans
on pages 28 - 38.)
BACKGROUND
The area between the proposed development and Larpenteur Avenue is a plat named Monn's Villa.
This area, including Edgemont and Arkwright Streets and Kingston Avenue, was developed in the
mid 1950s. This plat includes the unused Arkwright or Edgemont street right -of -way that is between
the houses at 385 and 395 Kingston Avenue.
The city did not include the subject property in the 1992 inventory of possible properties to buy for
open space. As such, the city did not consider buying this property for open space.
DISCUSSION
Land Use Plan and Zoning Map Changes
To build the proposed townhouses, Mr. English wants the city to change the land use plan and
zoning map for the site. The land use plan change would be from R -1 (single dwelling residential) to
R -2 (single and double dwellings). (See the land use plan map on page 26.) The zoning map
change would be from F (farm residence) to R -2 (single and double dwellings). The city intends R -2
areas for small -lot (7,500 square -foot) single dwellings and for double dwellings with a maximum
density of six units per gross acre. For R -1 areas, the city plans for single dwellings on lots of at
least 10,000 square feet of area with a maximum density of 4.6 units per acre.
The land use plan is the city's long range guide as to how the city expects land to be used or
developed. The zoning designation for a property defines how a property owner may use the
property.
Compatibility
Staff does not find a problem with this proposal in terms of compatibility and land use. The proposed
townhouses would be near McMenemy Street and an existing church and next to single dwellings. In
addition, developers will often build townhomes next to single dwellings. A recent example is with the
New Century Addition in south Maplewood. The developer, Robert Engstrom, is developing this
neighborhood with a mix of single dwellings and townhomes. There are many other examples in
Maplewood, such as Afton Ridge, Southwinds, The Gardens, Olivia Gardens and the Carriage Homes of
Maple Hills where this is the case.
Density
As proposed, the 28 units on the 8.2 -acre site means there would be 3.41 units per acre. This is
consistent with the density standards in the comprehensive plan for single family and for double
dwelling residential development.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD)
Conditional Use Permit
Section 44- 1093(b) of the city code says that it is the intent of the PUD code "to provide a means to
allow flexibility by substantial deviations from the provisions of this chapter, including uses, setbacks,
height and other regulations. Deviations may be granted for planned unit developments provided
that:
Certain regulations contained in this chapter should not apply to the proposed development
because of its unique nature.
The PUD would be consistent with the purposes of this chapter.
The planned unit development would produce a development of equal or superior quality to
that which would result from strict adherence to the provisions of this chapter.
The deviations would not constitute a significant threat to the property values, safety, health
0
or general welfare of the owners or occupants of nearby land.
The deviations are required for reasonable and practicable physical development and are not
required solely for financial reasons."
The applicant has applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) for a planned unit development (PUD)
for the 28 -unit housing development. They are requesting the CUP for the PUD to allow code
deviations and more flexibility with site design and development details than the standard city
requirements. Such flexibility includes having a variety of building setbacks, having the townhouses
on lots that would be smaller in width and in area than the code usually requires and to have a
narrower public street right -of -way (50 feet instead of 60 feet) for Kingston Court.
A homeowners' association would own and maintain the common areas of the development,
including the private driveways, retaining walls and the ponding areas. Exchanging the common land
for larger lot sizes would not change the location, design or number of units in this development. It
is the contention of the applicant that the proposed site design details and code deviations meet the
findings in the city code for approval of a PUD.
City staff agrees with the applicant that the development as proposed (shown on page 28), with the
proposed code deviations, would produce a development of equal or superior quality, that the
proposals do not constitute a threat to the area and that the deviations are required for reasonable
and practicable development of the site. Having private driveways with reduced townhouse setbacks
will allow for more common area around each building. If the applicant followed all the city
subdivision and zoning standards and used public streets, such a plan would require larger lots for
each building with public right -of -ways and increased building setbacks. In addition, it is important
to note that the proposed code deviations do not increase the number of lots or the density of the
housing in the development over the density in other townhouse projects.
In addition, the city has approved similar - styled developments in the past such as Holloway Ponds at
Holloway Avenue and Beebe Road, the Dearborn Meadows development on Viking Drive, and more
recently, Olivia Gardens on Stillwater Road. For this proposal, the developer intends to sell each of
the townhomes and expects that each unit will sell for at least $300,000.
Right -of -Way Vacation
The applicant is asking the city to vacate parts of the Edgemont Street right -of -way, north of
Kingston Avenue. The proposal is to vacate the west and east 15 feet (30 feet total) of the right -of-
way and for the city to keep the center part of the right -of -way for public use. In this case, the 15 feet
of the right -of -way on the two sides would go to the adjacent property owners and the developer
would use the center part of the right -of -way for a watermain connection to Kingston Avenue, for a
trail for pedestrian and emergency vehicle access — not for general vehicle access. This vacation, if
approved by the city, should assure the neighbors in the area that the city does not expect to use the
Edgemont right -of -way for a public street.
Preliminary Plat
Density and Lot Size
As proposed, the 28 units on the 8.2 -acre site means there would be 3.41 units per acre (an average
of 12,784 square feet per unit). This is consistent with the density standards in the comprehensive
plan for double dwelling residential development and is well above the 6,000- square -foot minimum
lot area that the city requires for each unit in a double dwelling.
M
City Engineering Department Review
In response to the comments of the CDRB, the city council and city engineering department,
Thomas Hailey and Michael Villari of Metro Land Surveying (the project engineers), prepared
revised project plans. Chuck AN and Erin Laberee of the Maplewood Engineering Department have
reviewed the revised plans. Erin put their comments in the memo starting on page 39. They are
generally much happier with the latest project plans and they are recommending several technical
and minor design changes for the project plans.
Mr. Cavett, the former assistant city engineer, also reminded me that the city, in the Capital
Improvements Plan (CIP), has scheduled the reconstruction of Desoto Street from Larpenteur
Avenue to County Road B for 2007. The CIP has not yet identified when the city is planning to
reconstruct Edgemont Street, Kingston Avenue and Arkwright Street.
Traffic and Access
A major concern of many of the neighbors to the south of the site with the first proposal was with the
increase in traffic that their area would experience if the city approved the earlier proposal. The
developer was proposing to use an existing public street right -of -way (the area between 385 and
395 Kingston Avenue) for street access for 17 of the 24 units. (The other seven units would have
had street access from McMenemy Street).
In response to the neighbors concerns, the developer revised the project plans to now have the
primary access into the site from McMenemy Street. The plans also show a 10- foot -wide trail on the
Edgemont right -of -way between the existing Kingston Avenue and the proposed new street in the
development. This trail would be for pedestrian access and for emergency vehicle use, not for
general vehicle traffic. Unfortunately for the neighbors, the Monn's Villa plat, including the unused
right -of -way, was approved and developed in the 1950s. It has always been the expectation of city
staff that a developer or builder would use the existing street right -of -way that is north of Kingston
Avenue for some type of access to the property to the north.
While staff recognizes that having a new development and new streets in the area with new
neighbors driving past their homes would create changes for the neighborhood, we do not anticipate
a large enough traffic increase from the proposal to justify denying the request. For example, if each
of the 28 townhouse units would generate an average of 6 vehicle trips per day (an average number
I verified with the city's traffic consultant), there would be 168 more vehicles (in total) using
McMenemy Street. For a 12 -hour day, the 168 vehicle trips would mean an average of 14 vehicle
trips per hour, or an average of about one additional vehicle every 5.5 minutes. Even if one -half of
the expected additional vehicle trips (84) occurred in one hour (either in the morning or in the
evening), that would mean about one additional vehicle for every 43 seconds during that one hour.
The traffic consultant also confirmed for me that, on average, detached single - family homes
generate about 10 vehicle trips per day and that townhouses, whether attached or detached, usually
generate about six vehicle trips per day. The difference in these numbers is because of the residents
and the difference in the size of the families that live in the different units. Townhouses are usually
occupied by young couples starting out in life or by empty- nesters — that is, families with no children
and thus fewer people in each unit. They also have found that more traditional families with children
still prefer to live in detached single dwellings with more living and yard space. As such, these types
of homes will create more traffic (on average), than townhouses.
I also had Dan Solar of Ramsey County review the proposal. He noted that "McMenemy Street is no
longer a county road so the development does not have a direct impact to the county system. The
intersection along Larpenteur Avenue should be able to handle the minimal traffic generated by this
11
development."
Public Utilities
Sanitary sewer and water are in Kingston Avenue and in McMenemy Street to serve the proposed
development. There is, however, no storm sewer in this part of Maplewood, so the applicant is
proposing to enhance the low areas on the property to use them as storm water ponds. The project
engineers have been working closely with the two area watershed districts to meet their design and
engineering standards.
Tree Removal /Replacement
The applicant had a tree inventory done for the property. This survey found 239 trees on the
property, including maples, pines, elms, spruce, ash and oak. (See the plans on pages 29 and 30
and in the project plans.) Of the trees listed on the inventory, the city considers 198 of them as large
trees (those eight inches in diameter or greater or pines that are at least eight feet tall).
As proposed, the applicant's contractor would grade most of the property to prepare the site for
construction and to build the storm water ponds. The proposed plans show the developer saving
groups of existing trees in a few areas of the site — including along the east property line, along the
south property line near McMenemy Street, near the front of Unit 16, to the north of Unit 11 and to
the west of Unit 20. In addition, the grading plans show the developer saving scattered individual
large trees throughout the site.
The developer also has indicated that they want to transplant as many of the existing trees on the
site as possible. This would involve having a forester or an arborist check the size and health of
each of the affected trees and determining which trees could survive moving and which ones could
not be transplanted.
The code requires there be at least 10 trees per acre on the site after the contractor has finished
construction. For this 8.2 -acre site, the code requires there be at least 82 trees on the property after
the construction is complete. While city staff is encouraged by the level of interest expressed by the
developer in saving and transplanting trees on the site, the devil in this will be in the details. In other
words, how many and how well the trees survive will be in how the contractor handles the details of
the project. The project engineer will need to prepare a detailed grading and tree plan for the entire
site for city staff approval. This plan will need to show the proposed grading, the trees that will stay,
those that the contractor will transplant and those that the contractor will remove. In addition, this
plan should show the size and location of trees the developer would add to the site for screening
purposes and where they would store the transplanted trees before the contractor puts them in their
final locations. I expect that the final tree plans for this development can and will meet the
requirements of the tree replacement code of the city.
Landscaping /Screening
As proposed, the developer would save, plant or transplant at least 200 trees on the site, plant
numerous shrubs around the buildings and install two infiltration ponds /basins with landscaping on
the site. The detailed plan on page 38 also shows the proposed plantings near the sidewalk and
around each unit. These will include spirea, crimson pygmy, globe blue spruce, a mix of perennials
and lilac. The mix of plantings around each building will vary from unit to unit depending on whether
the unit faces north or south and whether it is a 1 % story or full basement walk -out unit.
While the landscape and tree plans are a good start, the developer should add more trees in two
primary areas. These additional trees would be for screening along the south side of the site and
61
along the west side of the site. The purpose of these additional plantings is to screen the new
townhouses from the existing houses to the south and to screen this site from houses to the west.
The city code requires the developer or builder to install screening along a residential property line
that is at least six feet tall and at least 80 percent opaque. This screening may be accomplished with
fencing, berming, tree planting or a combination of these techniques. It would be prudent for and
helpful to the residents of the existing houses and those in the new townhouses if the developer
installed screening along the south and west sides of the project to help ensure that the new
townhouses and driveways are separated from the existing single dwellings. Staff is recommending
that the developer add several Black Hills spruce and Austrian pines along the south and west
property lines to provide additional screening between this site and the adjacent properties.
Finally, the applicant needs to provide the city engineering department with a detailed landscape
plan for the ponds. The project engineer also should show this detail on the final project landscape
plans. The plantings proposed around foundations of the units and in the proposed detail areas
should remain on the plan. In addition to the above, all yard areas near the buildings should be
sodded (except for mulched and edged planting beds).
Design Review
Building Design and Exterior Materials
The proposed buildings should be attractive and should fit in with the design of the existing homes
in the area. They would have an exterior of horizontal vinyl siding (earth tone, green or grey in
color) with a stone or brick veneer on the fronts and the roofs would have asphalt shingles. In
addition, there would be a mix of 1 % -story and walk -out units and each unit would have white
soffits and accent boards and an attached two -car garage. (See the proposed elevations on pages
33 — 37 and the enclosed project drawings.) Staff does not have any major concerns about the
proposed building elevations since this development will be on cul -de -sacs and would be
somewhat isolated. In fact, only the buyers of the townhouses would be able to see the fronts of
most of the new buildings.
Before the city issues a building permit, the builder should submit to city staff for approval revised
building plans and elevations. These should show or include (but are not limited to) the colors of all
materials, any shutters, window grids, the style and materials of balcony railings, and provide more
detail about the brick or stone accents.
The community design review board noted in 2001 concerns about "snout- designed" homes.
These are dwellings that have garages as the dominating street -side feature. The proposed
townhomes have this design. The community design review board may want to have the developer
change the proposed designs or add features to the buildings to lessen the impact of the garages.
This could include additional landscaping in front of the dwelling parts of the buildings, adding
covered front porches, enhancing the design of the garage doors or adding decorative light fixtures
next to the garages and entrance doors.
Site Lighting
The applicant will need to prepare a site lighting plan for the development that shows the
installation of at least seven light posts within the site to provide lighting along the new streets and
driveways. The city code requires the light fixtures to have a design that hides the bulb and lens
from view (to avoid nuisances). The plan also will have to show details about the height or style of
these poles and about the proposed lighting on the buildings.
[s9
Parking
It should be noted that the city allows no parking on 24- foot -wide streets, parking on one side of
28- foot -wide streets and along both sides of streets that are 32 feet wide. In this case, the
developer is proposing to construct the new public street (Sophia Avenue) 28 feet wide with a
concrete sidewalk on the north side and the private driveways 24 feet wide. The city would not
allow parking on the private driveways. The project engineer also has shown seven areas for
proof -of- parking spaces within the development. This is something that the final project plans
should show. Locations for such parking are shown north of Sophia Avenue near Units 7 and 8 and
Units 4 and 5 and along Edgemont Lane near Units 10 and 11 and 13 and 14. These are locations
that the city could require the developer or the homeowners' association to add more parking if it
becomes necessary.
Other Comments
Police Department
Lieutenant Kevin Rabbett of the Maplewood Police Department noted that the proposed street and
driveway names could cause some confusion. He suggested that the developer work with city staff
to pick names for the streets and driveways that fit the city's system and that make sense with the
surrounding streets.
Fire Marshal
Butch Gervais, the Maplewood Fire Marshal, noted the following about the proposal:
1. Need to verify that the cul -de -sacs and the turn - arounds are large enough for proper
snow removal and for emergency vehicle access.
2. All roads and driveways shall be at least 20 feet wide.
3. There shall be addresses on each unit facing the street.
4. The developer shall provide the city with an address plan (street and driveway names and
a numbering scheme) for staff approval.
COMMSSION ACTIONS
On July 18, 2005, the planning commission recommended approval of the proposed land use plan
change, zoning map change, CUP for PUD, street vacation and the preliminary plat.
On July 26, 2005, the community design review board (CDRB) recommended approval of the
project design plans. This recommendation was subject to the applicant bringing revised building
elevations back to the CDRB for final approval.
RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Approve the resolution on page 48 (attachment 20). This resolution changes the land use
plan for the Woodlands of Maplewood plat on the east side of McMenemy Street, north of
Kingston Avenue. This change is from R -1 (single dwellings) to R -2 (single and double
dwellings). The city is making this change because:
1. It would be consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.
rA
2. This site is proper for and consistent with the city's policies for medium - density residential
use. This includes:
a. It is near a minor arterial street (Larpenteur Avenue) and is on a collector street
(McMenemy Street).
b. Minimizing any adverse effects on surrounding properties because there would be
minimal traffic from this development on existing residential streets.
3.It would be consistent with the proposed zoning and land uses.
B. Approve the resolution on pages 49 and 50 (attachment 21. This resolution changes the
zoning map for the Woodlands of Maplewood plat on the east side of McMenemy Street,
north of Kingston Avenue. This change is from F (farm residence) to R -2 (single and double
dwellings). The reasons for this change are those required by the city code and because the
owner plans to develop this property with a mix of single and double dwellings.
C. Approve the resolution on page 51 (Attachment 22). This resolution is for the vacation of
parts of the Edgemont Street right -of -way, north of Kingston Avenue. The city is vacating this
right -of -way because:
1. It is in the public interest.
2. The applicant and the abutting property owners have no plans to build a public street at
this location.
3. The adjacent properties have street access.
4. The vacation of the right -of -way will allow the adjacent residents to expand and improve
their homes.
This vacation is subject to the city retaining the center of the Edgemont Street right -of -way
located north of the north right -of -way line of Kingston Avenue for public purposes.
D. Approve the resolution starting on page 52 (Attachment 23). This resolution approves a
conditional use permit for a planned unit development for the Woodlands of Maplewood
development on the east side of McMenemy Street, north of Kingston Avenue. The city bases
this approval on the findings required by code. (Refer to the resolution for the specific
findings.) Approval is subject to the following conditions:

CITIZENS' COMMENTS
I
I surveyed the owners of the 81 properties within 500 feet of this site. Of the five replies, two had
comments and questions about the proposal and three were against the proposal.

IL01
Findings for Rezoning
Section 44 -1165 of the zoning code requires that the city council make the following findings to
rezone property:
1. The proposed change is consistent with the spirit, purpose and intent of the zoning code.
2. The proposed change will not substantially injure or detract from the use of neighboring property
or from the character of the neighborhood, and that the use of the property adjacent to the area
included in the proposed change or plan is adequately safeguarded.
3. The proposed change will serve the best interests and conveniences of the community, where
applicable, and the public welfare.
4. The proposed change would have no negative effect upon the logical, efficient, and economical
extension of public services and facilities, such as public water, sewers, police and fire
protection and schools.
Criteria for Conditional Use Permit Approval
Section 44- 1097(a) states that the city council may approve a CUP, based on nine standards. (See
findings 1 -9 in the resolution on pages 52 through 54.)
Ordinance Requirements
Section 2- 290(b) of the city code requires that the community design review board make the
following findings to approve plans:
1. That the design and location of the proposed development and its relationship to neighboring,
existing or proposed developments, and traffic is such that it will not impair the desirability of
investment or occupation in the neighborhood; that it will not unreasonably interfere with the use
and enjoyment of neighboring, existing or proposed developments; and that it will not create
traffic hazards or congestion.
2. That the design and location of the proposed development is in keeping with the character of the
surrounding neighborhood and is not detrimental to the harmonious, orderly and attractive
development contemplated by this article and the city's comprehensive municipal plan.
3. That the design and location of the proposed development would provide a desirable
environment for its occupants, as well as for its neighbors, and that it is aesthetically of good
composition, materials, textures and colors.
HOUSING POLICIES
The land use plan has eleven general land use goals. Of these, three apply to this proposal. They
are: minimize land planned for streets, minimize conflicts between land uses and provide many
housing types. The land use plan also has several general development and residential
development policies that relate to this project. They are:
- Transitions between distinctly differing types of land uses should not create a negative
economic, social or physical impact on adjoining developments.
Oki]
Include a variety of housing types for all types of residents, regardless of age, ethnic, racial,
cultural or socioeconomic background. A diversity of housing types should include apartments,
townhouses, manufactured homes, single - family housing, public- assisted housing and low -to-
moderate- income housing, and rental and owner - occupied housing.
- Protect neighborhoods from encroachment or intrusion of incompatible land uses by adequate
buffering and separation.
The housing plan also has policies about housing diversity and quality that the city should
consider with this development. They are:
- Promote a variety of housing types, costs and ownership options throughout the city. These are
to meet the life -cycle needs of all income levels, those with special needs and nontraditional
households.
The city will continue to provide dispersed locations for a diversity of housing styles, types and
price ranges through its land use plan.
The city's long -term stability of its tax base depends upon its ability to attract and keep residents of
all ages. To do so, the city must insure that a diverse mix of housing styles is available in each
stage of the life cycle of housing needs.
Application Date
The city received the complete applications and plans for this development on June 14, 2005.
State law requires that the city take action within 60 days of receiving complete applications for a
proposal. As such, city action would normally be required on this proposal by August 12, 2005,
unless the applicant agrees to another time extension.
On August 8, 2005, the applicant agreed to a time extension until September 12, 2005, to allow the
project engineer to make revisions to the project plans.

RE: The Woodlands of Naplewood
Dear IVIr. Roberts,
Enclosed are 16 full size and 16 half size sets of Preliminary Plans and Preliminary Plat, One 8.5 by t t Set of Plans and
one set of drainage calculations are also included.
The public cul -de -sac has a face of curb radius of 43 feet. The right of way for the cull de sac ties a radius of 55 feet.
The public street has a width of 28 feet (widened from 24 feet) from face of curb to face of curb except at the entrance
to the site. The public street at the entrance to the site has a street with of 16 feet from face of curb to face of curb per
lane with a 12 foot island from back of curb to back of curb. A six foot sidewalk is along the north side of the public
street, 'Ihe sidewalk is setback 5 feet from the back of curb, A cul de sac has replaced the hammer head turn around at
the north private drive. The townhome located at this cul de sac has been rotated. The townhomes along the public
drive have been moved to the east to provide a maintenance access to the east pond. The access is along the west unit
on the public street. Building pad elevations have been adjusted to reduce retaining walls. Lowest floor for the building
pads along the east pond are three feet above the 100 -year water elevation and the lowest floor for the building pads
along the west pond are two feet above the 140 -year water elevation or one foot above the emergency overflow,
whichever is higher. The townhomes located along the south side of the north private drive have been staggered and the
driveways for the these units now come directly off the north private drive, which eliminates most of the retaining walls
around these units. The ponds have been sized for a 100 -year event prior to discharging. The pond bottoms have been
raised to reduced retaining walls. The southwest pond has been combined with the west pond. The emergency
overflow for the combined ponds is at the southwest comer of the site. The Developer is also in the process of an
obtaining construction from the property owners at the northwest corner of the site and from the property owner located
at the southwest corner of the site. The construction easement will allow the elimination of the proposed retaining walls
in those areas. These revisions have allowed a substantial reduction on the amount of proposed retaining walls on the
site.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at 763- 398 -6842.

Engineering Plan Review
PROJECT: The Woodlands of Maplewood
PROJECT NO: 05 -04
REVIEWED BY: Erin Laberee, Maplewood Engineering Department
DATE: September 2, 2005
Integra Homes is proposing to develop the properties at 1740, 1750 and 1766 McMenemy Street
into 28 townhomes. They recently submitted revised plans to the city for the proposed development
— these comments are about those plans. As now proposed, the primary access for the development
would be from McMenemy Street. The plans also show an emergency vehicle access with a
pedestrian trail off of Kingston Avenue.
The existing site includes two low areas with no outlets that currently store and infiltrate storm
water runoff from most of the site. As proposed, the developer would enhance the low areas to
create two ponds to treat runoff from the new development. These new ponds would function as no
outlet ponds and store the 100 year rain event. An emergency overflow pipe from the western pond
would direct additional runoff into the existing storm sewer on McMenemy Street.
The developer and the project engineer shall address the following issues.
Streets and Driveways
The developer is proposing Sophia Avenue as a public street. Typically public streets and
public utilities are constructed as a public improvement project, administered and
constructed by the city. If the developer wishes to administer the construction of the public
street and utilities in conjunction with the private construction, then Maplewood's
Engineering Standards must be strictly followed. These standards include a construction
inspection schedule that outlines erosion control, grading, utility and street construction, and
testing requirements. The developer and/or engineer shall submit a letter outlining how
Maplewood's standards will be followed.
The developer shall ensure that all construction activities conform to Maplewood's
standards by entering into a Development Agreement with the city. City staff will keep a
close watch on the site during all construction activities — especially those relating to the
construction of the public street and utilities.
2. The proposed street section does not meet the city's standards. The project engineer shall
revise the public street section detail to include 1.5 inches of wear course, 2 inches of base
course, 8 inches of aggregate base and 24 inches of select granular borrow.
3. All vertical curve information shall be shown on the plans. The vertical curve at station
11 +00 on sheet 6 is too short and should be increased to achieve a K value closer to 20.
4. It is recommended that the developer construct a six - foot -wide concrete sidewalk along the
east side of McMenemy Street to provide a loop trail system around the development.
5. The proposed trail at the northeast corner of the site has a 10% grade. The trail must meet
the following grade requirements.
Running slope shall be 1:12 maximum for 200 feet maximum. Resting intervals complying
shall be provided at distances no greater than 200 feet apart.
Running slope shall be 1:10 maximum for 30 feet maximum. Resting intervals complying
shall be provided at distances no greater than 30 feet apart.
Running slope shall be 1:8 maximum for 10 feet maximum. Resting intervals complying
shall be provided at distances no greater than 10 feet apart.
Resting Intervals. Resting intervals shall be 60 inches minimum in length, shall have a
width at least as wide as the widest portion of the trail segment leading to the resting
interval, and have a slope not exceeding 1:20 in any direction.
Grading & Erosion Control
1. The city requires a building permit for retaining walls greater than four feet high. A plan and
a specific soil stabilization detail for the wall design will be required as part of the building
permit. All retaining walls greater than four feet high require a fence along the top for
safety.
2. The city, Ramsey /Washington Metro Watershed District, and the MPCA (new NPDES
Construction Permit) all require grading permits.
The applicant shall note on the plans the exact seed mixtures the contractor is to use in the
different areas. The contractor shall use native seeding around the pond areas. The
developer shall enter into a maintenance agreement for the establishment of the native
seeding.
Drainage
1. The project plans do not appear to show an emergency overflow swale for the eastern pond.
The engineer shall model the pond for a plugged outlet situation to ensure that none of the
adjacent homes are in danger of flooding.
2. All inlet and outlet pipes shall be shown to the NWL along with rip rap shown at the FES.
3. The inlet and outlet to the western pond shall be combined into a single storm sewer line.
CB 30 and 31 should be eliminated.
4. The invert at FES 33 on sheet 6 does not match the invert indicated in the drainage
calculations. The project engineer shall revise the project plans to correspond with the
drainage calculations.
5. The infiltration area shall include 8" of bedding material or topsoil on top of the geotextile
fabric to allow for seeding above the infiltration area.
6. The project engineer shall note the EOF elevation of the church pond north of the site on the
project plans.
Utilities
1. The project engineer shall note the material for the sanitary sewer main SDR 35 and the
services as Schedule 40.
2. The applicant shall obtain St. Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) approval.
Misc.
The contractor shall use a native seed mixture around the proposed basins. The project
engineer shall call this out on the project plans.
2. Outlot A shall be dedicated to the city and maintained by the homeowner's association. It is
recommended that the developer screen the south side of Sophia Avenue with screening
fencing and/or landscaping. The homeowner's association shall maintain all landscaping
within the public right of way, within the ponding or drainage basins and in the common
areas.
The applicant shall enter into a maintenance agreement with the city for the maintenance of
the ponds, sump structures and any landscaping proposed within the city's right of way. The
city will require a homeowner's association to be the responsible party for all landscaping
maintenance, including right -of -ways, the common areas and the ponding areas.
4. The developer shall enter into a developer's agreement with the city for the construction of
the public street and for the utilities.

MoMnne,ny Street
8i Ken,
We have reviewed the revised proposal for the Woodlands project.
l, The proposed paved trail along odgemuot place for a 2nd emergency vehicle anoeou; how
wide will this trail be? Bna/ will uozuml traffic he discouraged from using this trail?
Will it orcz be possible for this trail to be expanded into a public or private road? #y
concern is that future development will determine that this trail should become a road,
and z would like it to be specified that this cannot happen. We still have children who
play and ride bicycles on the street, and I do not want the amount of traffic on our
streets to increase.
2. Maplewood currently has 8dgemnut Street, Kingston Avenue and &ckwc1gbt Street.
z am extremely uneasy about naming additional streets: Cdgemout place, Kingston Court and
8logotuo Lane, particularly as Ddgemout Place is designated an a trail for emergency
aooenu vehicles. I believe that these utzecLo and trail should be otherwise named for
clarity.
Assuming that these cnococos can be resolved and that all other conditions will be handled
as per code requirements, that utilities will have minimal disruption during the
construction process, and will resume as normal when cnumtzoot1nu 1s complete, z do not
have any additional nhiectiuoo to the development of Woodlands of Maplewood: 1740, 1750
and
1766 McMeocmy Road.

5. The development surrounds two remaining homes on McMenemy street. These
houses fit perfectly into the existing neighborhood but would be completely
isolated by the proposed development. I don't think this is fair to those homes.
6. While McMenemy street can handle more traffic, it does require more
enforcement to deter speeders. Most cars do not observe the 30mph speed limit. I

a. THE WOODLANDS OF MAPLEWOOD (MCMENEMY STREET, NORTH OF
KINGSTON AVENUE) (7:06 — 8:28 p.m.)
Mr. Roberts said Mr. Chris English, representing Integra Homes, is asking the city to
approve plans for a 28 unit townhouse development. He has prepared a site plan that
shows 28 townhouses (in 14 detached townhomes and seven twinhomes) in a
development called The Woodlands. It would be on an 8.2 -acre site on the east side
of McMenemy Street, north of Kingston Avenue and south of the Hmong Church. For
this proposal, the developer intends to sell each of the townhomes and expects that
each unit will sell for at least $300,000. Staff recommends approval of the six requests
of the developer.
Commissioner Trippler asked how many townhome units were proposed with the
previous plan compared to this new plan?
Mr. Roberts said this plan has two fewer units than the previous plan did.
36
Xll
Commissioner Trippler said when he reviews a proposal two things he looks for in the
plan are sidewalks and raingardens. He asked if the city has a policy to encourage
developers to incorporate sidewalks and rain gardens into the plan?
Mr. Roberts said the city has been working with the developer and they plan on
installing a trail along the north edge of the project between unit 1 over to unit 11
connecting over to unit 28. There is no new sidewalk proposed along McMenemy
Street. The city tries to persuade the developer to construct sidewalks whenever
reasonable or possible.
Commissioner Trippler thinks sidewalks are critical and most of these proposed
streets are very narrow. The minimum width for a public street is 24 feet wide and the
private streets are listed as 26 feet wide. Because of the narrowness of the private
street there wouldn't be room for cars to be parked along the street.
Mr. Chuck Ahl, Public Works Director, addressed the commission. The rain gardens
are something the city encourages developers to accomplish. This site is unique from
the standpoint of rain gardens. The developer is restricting the runoff to nearly the
entire site to the two storm water ponds and that overflows into a third smaller pond.
The city is trying to infiltrate a 12 inch rainfall event with this. Rain gardens are to
infiltrate a 1 inch rainfall. This standard is to control a 12 inch rainfall entirely on the
site. This system meets the NERP standards and is comparable to 100 rain gardens
on the site. The city typically doesn't require sidewalks for these types of streets
along with the traffic volume of 100 to 200 vehicle trips per day. McMenemy Street is
the type of street the city would recommend sidewalks for. When the roadway is
redone the city may be installing sidewalks rather than having the developer install
sidewalks.
Chairperson Fischer asked the applicant to address the commission.
Mr. Brian Bourassa, the applicant, MFRA Engineering, Plymouth, addressed the
commission. Mr. Bourassa handed out a new illustration of the changes they did today
that were requested from engineering. They eliminated one of the hammer head turn
arounds in the southeast corner of the site and added a private drive turn around that
meets the requirements that the engineering staff suggested. They are still
investigating the potential for another turn around on the northern end of the private
street between units 11 and 12. They met with the engineering staff last week and
have been able to address many of the comments from engineering and the Metro
Watershed District.
Commissioner Trippler appreciated the developer going the extra mile to propose
moving and replanting the larger trees. He asked what the developer's responsibility
is to replace any trees that are planted /replanted on the site if they should die.
Mr. Bourassa asked staff if that would be part of the developer's agreement?
37
Mr. Roberts said yes.
Mr. Bourassa said they would take care of the concerns regarding the trees. They
have hired a professional arborist and depending on the tree species the trees will be
transplanted to a non - graded part of the site or balled and burlapped depending on
the time of the year and the diameter of the tree. They would enter into an agreement
with the city to have a guarantee period for the trees.
Commissioner Trippler asked what the height of the retaining walls would be.
Mr. Michael Villari, Project Engineer, Metro Land Surveying & Engineering, 412
County Road D East, Little Canada, addressed the commission. Mr. Villari said the
retaining walls will be discussed at the CDRB meeting but said they try to keep the
retaining wall under four feet in height as much as possible.
Chairperson Fischer asked if the applicant had any concerns regarding the conditions
listed in the staff report?
Mr. Bourassa and Mr. Villari said they had no concerns.
Chairperson Fischer opened the public hearing.
Mr. George Rossbach, representing the Historical Commission and residing at
1406 County Road C East, Maplewood, addressed the commission. He knowsthe
Historical Commission doesn't have the power to confirm or deny this proposal but
feel it's their duty to speak out regarding the five 100 year old homes on McMenemy
Street. The Historical commission have photographed, cataloged, researched, and
registered these homes with Maplewood. They would like some identification on the
site such as a bronze plaque or something to show a 100 year old home once stood
there.
Commissioner Trippler asked which 100 year old homes would be affected by this
proposal?
Mr. Rossbach said 1741, 1750, 1765, 1766, 1768 McMenemy Street.
Commissioner Trippler asked if the Historical Commission recommended that these
homes not be displaced with this proposal?
Mr. Rossbach said the Historical Commission wasn't notified that this was happening
until they found out about it today. The Historical Commission felt they should at least
be present to make a statement regarding the displacement of these 100 year old
homes.
38
I.
.]
Commissioner Trippler asked if the Historical Commission has cataloged the homes
with the history of each home as well as other homes throughout the city. There are
five homes in this neighborhood that are going to be affected by this proposal.
Commissioner Trippler asked if 1750 or 1766 McMenemy Street had any unique
historical value?
Mr. Rossbach said nothing other than being 100 years old and cataloged as such in
the city. Mr. Rossbach said over the sixteen years he sat on the city council he was
famous for a few statements and one of those statements he was known for was "a
PUD is a license to steal ". He wondered what the need for was for a PUD in this
proposal?
Mr. Roberts said in his opinion the developer is not stealing with this development.
The primary reason for a PUD is forthe mix of private and public streets and a mix of
setbacks off the private and public streets. In the city code there is not a good
definition for detached townhomes as far as lot size. If the city had to treat these as
single family homes these would have to be 10,000 square feet individual lots. By
having a PUD the city can allow for smaller lots with a common area fora townhouse
effect.
Mr. Rossbach said it ends up with the same effect, it allows the developer to do things
the rest of us can't do.
Mr. Roberts said yes if the developers ask.
Chairperson Fischer said in the past staff has commented for a side by side home if
you want common open space for environmental purposes you can't get 10,000
square foot lots and get the environmental features you want. A PUD is the only way
the city has done that in the past.
Mr. Rossbach said he comes from the generation where a single family home has a 1
acre sized lot.
Commissioner Dierich asked if the Historical Commission registered these 100 year
old homes with the national historical registry or just locally.
Mr. Rossbach said these homes are cataloged and documented only in Maplewood.
Commissioner Dierich asked if there had been any discussion regarding moving these
homes to another location to save the homes and the historical nature of the homes?
Mr. Rossbach said no, they are like everybody else in the city, the Historical
Commission has no money and no power and all they can do is make a
recommendation to the city council.
39
TO]
Mr. Kai Huot -Link, 1741 McMenemy Street, Maplewood, addressed the
commission. He lives directly across the street from this proposed development in
one of the 100 year old homes. He moved to this home 6 years ago and what
attracted him to this neighborhood was the character of the 100 year old homes on 1
acre lots. The home at 1740 McMenemy Street was built in 1900 and during the time
the other homes were cataloged that home had not passed the 100 year mark but is
now 105 years old. It's pretty disturbing to him that this developer wants to change the
character of the neighborhood by removing the 100 year old homes and building
$300,000 townhomes. This is a historical neighborhood and has a sense of place
because it has been there a long time. People still think of this house as the Thomalla
house. Putting townhomes in this neighborhood only fragments this neighborhood and
would change the character. Land is expensive and it's very hard to buy a 1 acre lot
these days. Partly because people are willing to pay a lot of money just for the piece
of land not for the existing house. The property at 1740 McMenemy sold for $440,000
while the house was only valued at $10,000. He bought his 1 acre property 6 years
ago for $113,000. These could be fixer upper starter homes for a younger family.
There are no yards in this townhome proposal. This kind of development won't attract
people with children. He has four children and they enjoy their yard. His neighbor
has four children to the north and the neighbors to the south have two children. There
are beautiful gardens in some of these yards and what type of opportunity is there for
people to have gardens and space to call their own. The whole discussion regarding
density of housing at 3.41 units per acre is confusing. The property at 1766
McMenemy Street has one house that is 100 years old and the developer wants to
put 6 units on it which is almost twice the stated average. He doesn't understand that
kind of math. He asked the commission to look at the homes on Kingston Avenue
and on McMenemy Street, the size and spacing of the homes. Then there's this
proposal that crams in 28 units in such a small space. It doesn't fit into this
neighborhood. He has strong feelings about this project and hopes the planning
commission can appreciate that and consider recommending fewer units for this
proposal. He asked what the legacy of this development is?
Commissioner Grover asked if the developments north of this proposed site have
similar densities?
Mr. Roberts said there are two different developments in this same area of
Maplewood both with similar densities. One is called The Gardens, which is north of
this site with 20 units on a private drive and The Overview for 24 units (12 twinhomes)
on a cul -de -sac.
Commissioner Dierich said staff said that 3.41 units per acre is a low density for R -2
zoning and she asked what the density would be if it had been R -1 zoning?
Mr. Roberts said the city has some single family developments at 3.2 units per acre.
Commissioner Dierich said the developer could have broken this area up into single
family lots for 3.2 units per acre without coming before the planning commission?
Cis]
Y�7
Mr. Roberts said it would have required a comprehensive plan change.
Ms. Margaret Jodeit, 1714 Edgemont Street, Maplewood, addressed the
commission. She and her husband moved here six years ago. She was here before
regarding this proposal when it came before the planning commission and overall she
is pleased with the changes the developer has made. She wanted to make sure the
emergency access trail would not be named Edgemont Place so there would be no
confusion that this is not a normal street for driving on.
Mr. Roberts said the city wasn't going to name the trail so there shouldn't be any
confusion.
Ms. Jodeit said Kingston Court, Kingston Lane and Kingston Avenue are very similar
and she is worried this could cause confusion for emergency vehicles trying to locate
properties and she wondered if there would be any other street names they could use.
Mr. Roberts said staff reviewed that concern with the public safety department and on
page 13, item f. the city recommended different street names other than Kingston.
Mr. Tom Azzone, 1723 Edgemont Street, Maplewood, addressed the commission.
He spoke a long time at the previous meeting regarding this proposal so he would try
to keep this discussion short. He wanted to make sure this is a ten foot wide blacktop
trail. He wanted to make sure the land on either side of the trail is being vacated to
the neighbors. He wanted to make sure the possible street going through there has
been eliminated. He thanked the developer for their common sense they exercised
on this plan.
Mr. AN said the city acknowledges the trail is ten feet wide, the street is being
vacated, and that precludes any future public street to be constructed through that
corridor.
Mr. Larry Jaehnert, 1771 DeSoto Street, Maplewood, addressed the commission.
He said this is also his second time to address the planning commission regarding this
proposal. He asked if the commission members had a copy of the minutes from the
previous time this item was heard?
The planning commission responded no.
Mr. Jaehnert said he would then briefly discuss what he said the last time. He asked if
the developer had their wood lot alteration permit or is that done afterthe approval is
made?
Mr. Roberts said a wood lot alteration permit is not required if they have other
development applications like this in. The developer would only need a wood lot
alteration if he wasn't applying to the city of any other approvals.
41
�I
Mr. Jaehnert said the city code talks about the natural characteristics of
neighborhoods and there is quite a bit of code that is written for dealing with those
natural characteristics. He read the Maplewood City Code, Section 12 -247, which
states the purpose of this article is to protect significant natural features which
preserve the natural character of neighborhoods.
Mr. Jaehnert said Section 12 -249, states a significant natural feature means a
significant water body, a large tree, a wood lot, a significant slope or a site of historical
or archeological significance that has been recorded with the state. He said there
have been changes made to the original plan but the developer still did not address
the woodlot which is on the eastern side of the property between 1771 and 1765
McMenemy Street. He hates to see trees removed and the city code bypassed.
There has been other development in the area where quite a few trees have been
removed as well. Even though there is a tree plan to preserve and move as many
trees as possible but what size of tree can be transplanted and still survive.
Mr. Roberts said city code states the city can't preclude the development of a property
by saying they have to preserve a certain number of trees. The way the city code is
written the developer needs to preserve at least 10 trees per acre when the
development is done. If they can't do that the developer needs to replace the trees as
a 2 to 1 ratio or try to transplant or move them around on the site. That is what the
developer proposes to do. They plan to save and or transplant up to 200 trees on the
8.2 acre site which is well above the minimum 82 trees the city would require by city
code. The city has not seen the plan for that and that is required before the city can
sign off on the final plans.
Mr. Jaehnert said he has an enormous oak tree on his property nearthe development
and he would be very appreciative if the developer could do everything they could to
save this tree. He doesn't know what the code states to develop or dig on a drip line
but the base of the tree is about 9 feet around and he would like this tree be saved at
all costs.
Mr. AN said when the developer prepares and submits their grading plan to the city to
review one of the requirements is the developer needs to stake and erect the
construction fence outside the drip line so they cannot go underneath the drip line and
cut roots. He believes the tree Mr. Jaehnert is referring to is in the northwest corner
of the parcel and believes that is a protected area and the developer is nodding his
head yes that area is protected. Mr. AN will direct his staff to erect the construction
fence so there is no grading done in that area.
42
�a
Mr. Jaehnert asked how this development fits in with the long term planning for
Maplewood and how it fits in relation to similar developments that are taking place
now? The Met Council determined that Maplewood is built up enough to their
satisfaction. He wonders what the long term vision for Maplewood is. He is
concerned about the amount of density in the area and the public safety because
there is no space for people to walk. There are no sidewalks in the area and the more
development that occurs in this area causes more public safety concerns. There is no
park in the area except for the park on Edgerton Street. He wondered if there would
be any other parks built in the area. The area is becoming so dense there is no place
for people to go.
Mr. Roberts said he is not convinced the Metropolitan Council thinks Maplewood is
built out. The Metropolitan Council has been pushing the city to add more units and
more density because the city is within the Highway 494 and Highway 694 ring. With
the last comprehensive plan update the Met council thought the city had too much
commercial and industrial land and they liked areas like Legacy Village so there would
be more units within the primary infrastructure of the city. The Metropolitan Council
likes developments like this proposal rather than people moving out to areas like
Forest Lake.
Mr. Roberts said regarding more parks in the area that question would have to be
answered by the Maplewood Parks & Recreation Director, Bruce Anderson. The
public safety people that reviewed this plan stated they liked the idea of having trails
within the development and also provided comments regarding changing the name of
the street. Walking around the area as a whole could be a challenge. Possibly when
DeSoto Street is reconstructed sidewalks could be incorporated which could alleviate
some of the public safety concerns.
Mr. AN said sidewalks are something the city struggles with all the time. When the
city holds hearings regarding the reconstruction of roads and the subject of sidewalks
comes up the city runs into issues with homeowners not wanting sidewalks built on
their property. The city takes a firm stand regarding sidewalks. McMenemy Street is a
roadway that was turned back from Ramsey County to the City of Maplewood.
McMenemy Street doesn't have sidewalks. DeSoto Street and McMenemy Street are
funded through gas tax money that the city receives. The legislature proposed a .10
cent gas tax increase which Maplewood would have received significant dollars from
that would have paid for features like this, unfortunately that gas tax increase did not
occur. The city is struggling with how to reconstruct roads. Funding is always a
problem and adding sidewalks is the number one request that people would like
added in their neighborhoods. Except for the residents that would have to have
sidewalks in their front yards.

Commissioner Ahlness said Maplewood is a first tier suburb. One of the biggest
challenges is for redevelopment in the city. As a planning commissioner he tries to
find out how the city can best see the development that would enhance the city in the
long term. The city cannot restrict the developer's economic benefit of the land. The
city looks at the best way to enhance the community but not harm the neighborhood.
If it would harm the neighborhood the city has to find some specific reasons to
disapprove the proposal. Using the reason you don't want this development to move
forward because of the loss of trees or you don't want this development in your
backyard simply isn't a strong enough reason to deny the proposal. If the city
recommended denial of the proposal for those reasons the city attorney would come
back to the planning commission and tell them those reasons are not strong enough
to deny this proposal. In this case when the developer has a plan to remove and
replant as many trees as possible he looks at that as a positive thing and based on
the proposal he is in favor of this plan.
Commissioner Trippler said as a planning commissioner he looks to see if a
development fits into the overall character of the neighborhood. Even though this
proposal has a little more density than the area to the south or to the west, it fits into
what is being built to the north of this development. Even though the developer says
he is going to save as many trees as possible, many times trees still die during
construction. He would assume trees die in many construction projects, and
sometimes it can't be helped. He appreciates the fact that the developer has listened
to the concerns and comments of the neighbors and that the developer is going to
relocate as many large trees as possible, which can be very expensive. He would like
to see the 100 year old homes stay in the neighborhood too and can appreciate the
concerns of the neighbors. Unfortunately unless you can write a check out to the
developer to buy him out this proposal is going to move forward.
M
�Y!
Commissioner Die rich lives in south Maplewood and later tonight the commission will
be discussing density and possible development of the southern end of Maplewood.
Because she is going to be dealing with a similar situation in her neighborhood she
can appreciate the comments and concerns of the neighbors and it's hard to accept
and deal with. South Maplewood is going to go through some major development
changes in the very near future. There are truly significant natural features in
southern Maplewood as opposed to this neighborhood where it's a mixture of trees
and older homes. Regarding Maplewood being built to capacity, it's not that the city is
already built to capacity; it's that the city has built enough affordable housing for what
is required by the Metropolitan Council. The developer took the comments from the
planning commissioners and neighbors. The developer has come up with a nice plan
that will add to the tax base for Maplewood, it will look very nice in the neighborhood
and still add more residents in Ramsey County rather than having them move out to
the outer suburbs, which should make the Metropolitan Council happy. The density is
not that bad compared to what the developer could have proposed to build on this
property. She's disturbed that the historical commission didn't list these 100 year old
homes with the national registry or with the state. Her daughter does that for a living
and she knows it takes a long time to go through the whole process but it's too late to
file now. She would encourage the Historical Commission to initiate the action to
record 100 year old homes. The city is trying to get as much open space as possible
and having these townhomes allows for community open space in this development.
Mr. Jaehnert asked if the trail system within this proposed development is private or
can the trail system be opened up so anyone can access the trail system?
Mr. Roberts said the trail system from Kingston Street north into the development up
to the center cul -de -sac would be public because it would still be on the public right of
way and connect to the public street. The trail on the north side of the development,
near the church would be private because that would be in the common area of the
townhomes. Although the city can't encourage people to trespass, he doesn't believe
anybody will be there guarding the trails. As far as the trail system, developing a trail
network for the neighborhood as a whole would have to be looked at by the city.
Chairperson Fischer closed the public hearing portion of the meeting.
Mr. AN said the Kingston Court public right of way access point and McMenemy
Street have a small segment on the south side called outlot A. That is a reserved
strip not allowed by the city code. The city would like outlot A dedicated as right of
way. Mr. AN said he thought that was put in to restrict the property owner because he
wouldn't agree to part of that to restrict his access to a public road and the city doesn't
allow that in the code. Outlot A will be a dedicated right of way like Kingston Court.
Mr. Roberts said that change would be made before this goes to the city council.

Mr. Azzone, spoke out of line and away from the podium so his questions was not
picked up by the microphone but it was something regarding outlot A and his
driveway. Mr. AN said the answer to that is no and the city is going to talk to Mr.
Azzone and try to convince him to have driveway access onto Kingston Court.
Commissioner Grover asked if any of outlot A would be on Mr. Azzone's property?
Mr. AN said no.
Chairperson Fischer asked if this change was reflected in the conditions or should it
be added?
Mr. Roberts said he didn't believe this change was reflected in the conditions so it
could be added or staff could be responsible for making the change before it goes to
the city council.
Commissioner Dierich would encourage the city to be very active as a city in looking
at the developer's agreement. She is 4 years into her developer's agreement in her
neighborhood and they are still having issues not being able to elect a group that
leads the development and therefore, things aren't getting done and trees are dying
and nothing is being done about it. The city needs take a more active role in making
sure that when the city develops a developer's agreement that there is something that
can be done in the long term. She asked if the private drives would be plowed by a
private contractor or by the city.
Mr. AN said the public roadway will be plowed by city and the area marked private
drive would be plowed as part of the homeowners association.
Commissioner Dierich asked who monitors the fencing along the drip line? In the past
she has seen orange fencing up around tree drip lines and it doesn't last very long.
During the construction of her house construction went through the middle of the drip
lines and they were also marked as significant. She asked how often those drip lines
are monitored, who monitors them and what fines occur if construction went into the
drip line?
Mr. AN said the Public Works Department is responsible for monitoring that. The
Public Works Department had one full time person assigned to monitorthose types of
things but has since retired from the city. That person has been replaced and a
summer engineering intern has been hired to assist in the monitoring of those drip
lines. The city recognizes they didn't do a good job in the past. A developer like this
has to post bonds and escrows to make sure things occur. Most recently the city did
some work that was supposed to be taken care of by a developer and the city billed it
back to the property owner and developer. So in the end someone gets the job done.
Commissioner Dierich strongly encouraged the neighbors to walk the construction site
and call the Public Works department if they notice anything that causes concern.

Commissioner Trippler moved to approve the resolution on page 51 of the staff report.
This resolution changes the land use plan for the Woodlands of Maplewood plat on
the east side of McMenemy Street, north of Kingston Avenue. This change is from R-
1 (single dwellings) to R -2 (single and double dwellings). The city is making this
change because: (changes to the motion are underlined and deletions are
stricken.)
It would be consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.
2. This site is proper for and consistent with the city's policies for medium - density
residential use. This includes:
a. It is near a minor arterial street (Larpenteur Avenue) and is on a collector
street (McMenemy Street).
b. Minimizing any adverse effects on surrounding properties because there
would be minimal traffic from this development on existing residential
streets.
3. It would be consistent with the proposed zoning and land uses.
Approve the resolution on pages 52 and 53 of the staff report. This resolution changes
the zoning map for the Woodlands of Maplewood plat on the east side of McMenemy
Street, north of Kingston Avenue. This change is from F (farm residence) to R -2
(single and double dwellings). The reasons for this change are those required by the
city code and because the owner plans to develop this property with a mix of single and
double dwellings.
Approve the resolution on page 54 of the staff report. This resolution is forthe vacation
of parts of the Edgemont Street right -of -way, north of Kingston Avenue. The city is
vacating this right -of -way because:
1. It is in the public interest.
2. The applicant and the abutting property owners have no plans to build a public
street at this location.
3. The adjacent properties have street access.
4. The vacation of the right -of -way will allow the adjacent residents to expand and
improve their homes.
This vacation is subject to the city retaining the center of the Edgemont Street right -of-
way located north of the north right -of -way line of Kingston Avenue for public purposes.

VI. DESIGN REVIEW
a. Woodlands of Maplewood — McMenemy Street, north of Kingston Avenue
Ms. Finwall reported Mr. Chris English, representing Integra Homes, is asking the city
to approve plans for a 28 unit townhouse development. He has prepared a site plan
that shows 28 townhouses (in 14 detached townhomes and seven twin homes) in a
development called The Woodlands. It would be on an 8.2 -acre site on the east side of
McMenemy Street, north of Kingston Avenue and south of the Hmong Church. The
applicant's designer has told staff that each building would have horizontal -lap vinyl
siding, aluminum soffits and fascia and brick veneer on the fronts. In addition, each
unit would have a two -car garage. The planning commission approved requests 1 -5 of
the staff report at their July 18, 2005, meeting.
Ms. Finwall said it should be noted that the city allows no parking on 24- foot -wide
streets, parking on one side of 28- foot -wide streets and along both sides of streets that
are 32 feet wide. In this case, the developer is proposing to construct the new public
street (Kingston Court) and the private driveways 24 feet wide and then the city would
not allow parking on the street on driveways. The project has not shown any areas for
proof -of- parking spaces within the development. This is something that the final project
plans should show. Locations for such parking could be north of Kingston Court near
Unit 20, north of Kingston Lane near Units 7 and 8 and along Edgemont Lane near
Units 10 and 11. These are locations that the city could require the developer or the
homeowners' association to add more parking if it becomes necessary.
Board member Shankar asked if staff is recommending a cul -de -sac next to unit 4, how
would people get to units 1, 2, and 3?
Staff said that question would be better addressed by the applicant.
Board member Olson said there was a notation from the police department regarding
renaming the street to eliminate confusion of the street names, she asked what the
name of the street would be?
Ms. Finwall recommended the applicant address that question.
Chairperson Longrie asked the applicant to address the board.
Mr. Brian Bourassa, MFRA Engineering, Plymouth, addressed the board. He displayed
the original layout from the previous proposal and then displayed the new design to
represent the changes in the design layout. This represents the additional property
Integra Homes acquired to add to the development layout. The name of the new street
56
W
will be Sophia Avenue per the Police Department's request. With the redesign of the
plan they were able to design some hammerhead turn arounds and a large cul -de -sac
on the plan. Regarding staffs suggestion for additional visitor parking Integra Homes
will be adding some additional visitor parking stalls on the plan in the areas staff
suggested.
Board member Ledvina said he is concerned with the large cul -de -sac on the plan. It is
shown on the plan to be 120 feet curb to curb in terms of the diameter. In his
neighborhood they have a huge cul -de -sac with a tremendous amount of asphalt and
he personally measured his cul -de -sac and it measured 96 feet curb to curb. He
estimates the large cul -de -sac to be 120,000 square feet of asphalt in that proposed
intersection on the plan and he believed a much smaller intersection could be built
there. He doesn't understand the need for a large cul -de -sac of that size. If it can be
reduced it should be reduced and it would be a benefit to the project.
Mr. Bourassa said they agreed with that comment. Staff recommended a cul -de -sac of
this size and that is why it is shown that way on the plan. In the past in other
developments that Integra Homes has done they have used planters in the center of
the cul -de -sac or island area. He is not sure if this is common practice in Maplewood or
if it is allowed but that is a possibility idea.
Board member Hinzman said looking at the Kingston Court right of way it comes close
to the homes to the south. He asked if there was land acquired for this right of way or
is that the way the property line is presently?
Mr. Bourassa said additional land was acquired in order to meet some of the
requirements from staff as well as to meet the objectives of Integra Homes.
Board member Hinzman knows this is the second time the plans have been redesigned
for this proposal and he appreciates the work and effort that has gone into preparing
this proposal. He is looking at the double frontage with the existing lots to the south.
He wondered if Integra Homes had thought about taking the southern street and
flipping the street design to the north so there would be a street adjacent to the church
area which would cause less of an impact. The existing homes to the south would then
back up to the new townhomes rather than backing up to asphalt.
Mr. Bourassa said after meeting with the residents and staff this plan was the preferred
plan. They realize it creates double frontage lots but that was the preference of the
neighbors to the south. They did spend a lot of time out in the field thinking of the
design but because of the pond location there was a problem trying to snake the road
in and still develop a logical lot design for the proposal. This is the next best plan and it
is what the neighbors to the south are supporting.
Board member Hinzman asked how they determine whose trees are on the existing
property and who is responsible for the care of the trees?
Mr. Bourassa said the bulk of the site is being graded. They have done a tree
57
WA
inventory on the entire site. They are working with a certified arborist and will identify
prior to construction the trees that are healthy and have the capacity to stand a move
and they will transplant all the trees that can be transplanted which is at about 150 -200
trees on this site. They will be planting landscaping to buffer the south property line
behind the Monn's Villa neighborhood as well as on the west side of the property
buffering McMenemy Street. The landscaping plan will be difficult. Staff has stated
they would prefer to have some strong language in the developer's agreement to
ensure the landscaping and trees are taken care. This will ensure any concerns the
neighbors have that during construction if the landscaping or trees should die it would
be Integra Homes responsibility to replace it.
Board member Ledvina said on the east boundary it shows a retaining wall. He asked
if that retaining wall was to preserve the trees and what is the height of the retaining
wall?
Mr. Bourassa said the neighbor that has a huge oak tree that is real close to the
property line and Integra Homes is going to be working with that homeowner along with
the arborist to ensure the tree is trimmed and cared for before and during the
construction to preserve the trees.
Mr. Michael Villari, Metro Land Surveying & Engineering, Lino Lakes, addressed the
board. They have not submitted plans forthe retaining wall along the east property line
yet but would be submitting that to the city staff and engineering department. It
appears that retaining wall would be about half a foot ranging up to about four feet in
height along the east side. There will be some other significant retaining walls along
the ponds that are even taller.
Board member Ledvina asked if the goal was to not have any significant grading on the
east side?
Mr. Villari said that is correct.
Board member Shankar asked what the width of the roads would be?
Mr. Bourassa said the width from curb to curb on the public street is 26 feet wide but
the width of the road at the entrance is larger because of the median in the middle.
The private street from curb to curb is also 26 feet wide. For clarification the cul -de -sac
is at a 60 foot radius.
Board member Olson asked if they were proposing any sidewalks in this development?
Mr. Bourassa said they will have a private trail connection that is paved in the
development. At the planning commission the sidewalk issue came up and at some
time in the future Mr. AN said there may be a trail corridor that would connect along the
east side of McMenemy Street.

Board member Olson said if individuals in this development wanted to walk to the bus
they would have to walk on these narrow roads then because there are no sidewalks in
the area.
Mr. Bourassa said there is a trail connection from Kingston Avenue to this area aswell.
He is not sure if there is a bus route on McMenemy Street but he believes there is.
Chairperson Longrie regarding the large cul -de -sac in the center she asked if there is a
potential for a planter to be put in the center to decrease the amount of impervious
asphalt?
Ms. Finwall said yes. The 60 foot radius is indicated in the city's subdivision ordinance
and the city engineering department supports a 50 foot radius and as small as 45 feet
radius so this large area is surprising to staff and she is not sure why the city engineers
recommended the 60 foot radius. Maybe it could either be reduce in size or a planter
could be used to break the amount of asphalt up.
Board member Olson said she is concerned about fire trucks or school buses being
able to maneuver around in the area and if there were a planter in the middle of the cul-
de -sac she is concerned the planter would cause a problem for those vehicles.
Ms. Finwall said she wasn't sure and said that is something the city engineer would
have to clarify. Staff could follow up on that for the board.
Board member Shankar said if it does need to be 60 foot radius they could use some
colored concrete or brick to break the expanse of the asphalt cul -de -sac.
Board member Ledvina said if the city could get by with a smaller radius cul -de -sac he
would recommend changing the plan to eliminate as much additional asphalt as
possible.
Board member Shankar asked if the roads are 26 feet wide why wouldn't the applicant
make the roads 28 feet wide and allow for on- street parking on one side of the street
and eliminate the visitor parking?
Mr. Bourassa said they think that is a good idea but would like the opportunity to
investigate that possibility and how that would affect the area. They would also have to
make sure they could meet the setbacks and check on the plantings in the area.
Board member Hinzman said he thinks this is a better idea than having these small
visitor parking spots put into small areas.
Mr. Bourassa said they would take a look at that and report back to city staff on their
findings.
Chairperson Longrie said you need to make sure there is room for people to walk
59

whether there are kids living here or not. We are moving towards a more livable
walkable community.
Board member Hinzman said with the size of the development they have done a good
job with the design and the connections within the site.
Board member Shankar said the colored elevations look like stucco but isn't the intent
to use horizontal siding?
Mr. Bourassa deferred that question to Ron Lillestrand.
Mr. Ron Lillestrand, representing Integra Homes, Dayton, addressed the board. He
said his daughter usually handles this information but is not present this evening.
These buildings will have vinyl siding, stone and brick on the building exterior.
Chairperson Longrie said she remembers the last time the board reviewed this
proposal the board had a lengthy discussion regarding the building exteriors and
making changes to the exterior.
Mr. Lillestrand had three different building product samples that they would propose
using on the building exterior which includes vinyl siding, cedar shakes, asphalt
shingles, and window shutters. At the previous CDRB meeting his daughter had
discussed some building exterior changes and additional colors to use but she was
unable to be here tonight. Some of the employees are on vacation and his draftsman
was called away unexpectedly so he is not as organized as he would like to be. He
said they ended acquiring some additional property and may be designing more twin
homes than they originally planned. They will be redesigning some of the buildings so
for these reasons he would like to bring the revised building elevations and building
colors back to the board for review with some of his staff.
Chairperson Longrie asked if she understood Integra Homes would like to come back
to fully present the revised building design and building colors. If that is the case she
said she had some additional questions to ask about the design so she would hold
those questions until they come back with the revisions.
Mr. Lillestrand said that's what they would prefer to do.
Chairperson Longrie said she would support tabling the building elevations until Integra
Homes wants to come back to the board with the revisions.
Board member Shankar asked if the CDRB would be reviewing just the site plan,
landscape, grading and drainage plans then?
Chairperson Longrie said that's what it sounds like. If the applicant is willing to alter the
width of the private and public drive aisle to change the width that would minimize the
cul -de -sac width as well.

.;111
Board member Ledvina he is wondering about the cul -de -sac on the southeast corner
and why there isn't a curve in the road instead? There is no conflict in terms of traffic in
that area. When a new development is proposed you have to look at the development
as a whole and he believes some of the impervious surfaces could be made smaller.
Board Hinzman agreed.
Board member Ledvina said he wasn't present for the previous meeting for this
proposal and he thinks this is a nice plan. He especially likes the side loaded garages.
He is concerned about the positioning of units 21 and 22. Maybe they could be
staggered a bit and to add more character there.
Board Hinzman said this is a different piece of property to develop with the topography.
From a design standpoint he would prefer to see the private street moved to the north
but he understands the neighbors prefer this proposed plan. He thinks this will be a
nice subdivision.
Board member Shankar said even if the cul -de -sac is reduced to a 45 foot radius
perhaps they could consider using a 10 foot circle radius with a different material from
asphalt with either colored concrete or brick.
Board member Olson said she remembered seeing this proposal previously and she
thinks this plan is much improved. She appreciates the developer's efforts to work with
the neighbors. She is concerned about pedestrian traffic and the need for sidewalks.
Board member Shankar asked if there was a minimum width for sidewalks?
Ms. Finwall said the minimum sidewalk width in Maplewood is six feet wide.
Board member Olson said she thinks a four foot wide sidewalk would be sufficient.
Board member Ledvina said this is a PUD and the city doesn't have to follow the
ordinances with a planned unit development like this.
Board member Shankar suggested the road between McMenemy and the cul -de -sac
be 24 feet wide with a four foot wide sidewalk for a total of 28 feet wide. The private
road could be 28 feet wide which would allow parking on one side of the street.
The board agreed that was a good idea.
Board member Ledvina moved to approve the project plans (site plan, landscape plan,
grading and drainage plans and b ildiRg elevatiGRG for the Woodlands of Maplewood
townhouses on the east side of McMenemy Street, north of Kingston Avenue. The city
bases this approval on the findings required by the code. The developer or contractor

DATE: September 6, 2005
RE: On -Sale Intoxicating Liquor License
Introduction
Don Huot has applied for an intoxicating liquor license to be used at 2425 Highway 61,
the establishment formerly known as Smiley's.
Background
Mr. Huot was raised in St. Paul and is currently residing in North St. Paul and has been
involved in the bar business for many years. From 1980 -1987 he was a part owner of the
North End Depot in St. Paul. During that time he stated that he was also the liquor
license holder. Huot then became the manager of the American Legion Club in North St.
Paul and held that position from 1988 -1995 until he became involved in an employment
dispute with the Legion Board of Directors.
Following is a summation of the report received by me from Deputy Chief Banick:
One of Mr. Huot's references was quite complimentary of him. He stated,
"Don was the best bar manager we ever had. " Huot's hank reference
stated, `7 saw him daily and he kept the account in good order. He was
very easy to work with. " A third individual stated, "Don would do a great
job" as a liquor license holder.
Mr. Hunt informed me that he was a former president of the St. Paul Liquor
Dealers Association and coached youth hockey in North St. Paul for twelve
years.
During this investigation, I found Mr. Hunt to have several criminal
convictions or arrests on his record. The convictions include: three DWTs
(1995, 1999, & 2003), one domestic assault (1999) and one arrestfor
criminal damage to property (1994). Hunt informed me of these incidents
during the investigation and stated that he has learned from his past
mistakes.
Mr. Huot plans to invest a considerahle amount of his personal savings into
this venture in order to make it successful.
I met with Mr. Hunt to discuss measures to eliminate the sale of alcohol to
underage persons, general security and retail crime issues, and the
Maplewood Liquor Ordinances.
In the course of this investigation, state criminal history files were checked
along with contacts and warrants in the Cities of Maplewood, North St.
Paul, St. Paul and Ramsey County.
The city code of ordinances referring to ineligible persons to hold a liquor license
states:
(a) No license required under this division may be issued to a person who has
had an intoxicating liquor or nonintoxicating liquor license revolted within
five years of the license application.
(b) In addition, no new license may be issued to and the city council may refuse
to renew the license of a person who, within five years of the license
application, has been convicted of a willful violation of a federal or state law
or a local ordinance governing the manufactures, sale, distribution, or
possession for sale or distribution of an alcoholic beverage or of a felony
crime.
While during the investigation issues were raised regarding Mr. Hout's background
they were not egregious enough to deny him an intoxicating liquor license
according to the city code of ordinances.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the license with encouragement from the council the
importance of maintaining a good business both for his and the city's good.

SUBJECT: County Road D Realignment East (T.H. 61 to Southlawn), City Project
02- 07-- Resolution Approving Memorandum of Agreement with State of
Minnesota Historical Preservation Organization for Railroad Right of Way
DATE: September 1, 2005
I0 :IQ millet IIQ01
The abandonment process for the BNSF Railroad is required to complete the County Road D project. As
part of the abandonment, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the State of
Minnesota Historical Preservation Organization (SHPO) needed to review the corridor. SHPO found that
the railway may have historical significance. An agreement between the parties is required to assure that
historical issues are addressed. Approval of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is required.
Background
The realignment of County Road D passes through a seldom used railroad line. The right to build the road
has led the City into an extremely complex process that involves abandonment of the railroad,
establishment of an overroad agreement with the only potential user of the railroad, the extension of the
Bruce Vento Trail, and an agreement with two railroads, the Regional Rail Authority, Ramsey County Board
and seven surrounding communities. All those agreements are complete and approved, and are in the
process of being executed. The abandonment process is currently being executed by NTSB in
Washington, D.C. Senator Coleman's office is assisting with expediting this bureaucratic process. It
appears that the final obstacle to reaching agreement for all the processes that need to occur to allow
construction to begin between Hazelwood and TH 61 is the MOA between Maplewood, the NTSB, BNSF
and SHPO.
Attached is a copy of the agreement. Some minor legal issues may occur; however, the intent of the
agreement is in place. The agreement requires that the City, in cooperation with Ramsey County, conduct
a historical study of the railroad corridor. The rail line was the first railroad constructed between St. Paul
and Duluth in the 1850s. Findings from the study will be used to build a kiosk near the Bruce Vento Trail
connections within Legacy Village. Costs for the study and kiosk are estimated to approach $50,000 and
were not included in the original estimates for the project, as the historical nature of the railroad could not
have been predicted. The agreement is, however, a reasonable compromise that is necessary to allow the
process to continue. The kiosk construction is certainly a good option for the trail construction process.
The entire $50,000 cost will not be Maplewood's alone, as Ramsey County grant money for the trail
construction will likely cover portions of the cost. That portion will be determined depending upon final
construction allocations. The engineering staff and consultants recommend this agreement as a
reasonable compromise to proceed with the process. The compromise was reached with SHPO in the
past month. Originally, SHPO requested that the rail corridor be preserved by constructing a bridge over
the new County Road D to maintain the railway embankment. This bridge would have cost in excess of
$2.0 million to construct and would not have stalled or stopped the project. The bridge has been an issue
worked on by the City to avoid constructing since the original closure of existing County Road D in 1981.
Approval is recommended.
Agenda Item K4
Discussion /Budget Impact
This project has exceeded the original budget amount. This expense is required as part of the scope of the
project as noted above. In the near future, a forecast of project costs (right of way costs are nearly $2.0
million over the estimated costs, while construction bids were $1.0 million below) will be reviewed to
determine the state of this project's $8.03 million budget, which includes two construction contracts,
multiple land acquisition agreements, agency negotiations and unforeseen project delays. Before the
project is completed, it is anticipated that a project budget increase and a revised project financing plan will
be necessary. Funding for these overruns is being reviewed as part of area redevelopment plans which
have far exceeded the original estimates of redevelopment activity. Land values are increasing by 1 % to
2% per month. Redevelopment of some parcels has tripled the appraised land value within an 18 -month
period.
While the construction costs have increased, they are necessary to accommodate the redevelopment and
land cost increases in area value. When this project was started, Council was advised of the possibility of
the increased cost, which would be paid back over time with the increase in land values. A revised project
budget and project financing plan will be prepared in the near future when some certainty of the actual
costs can be made. At this time no change to the project budget is proposed. Staff fully expects that the
increased costs will be easily offset by the redevelopment activities and additional tax base realized.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the city council approve the attached resolution approving the Memorandum of
Agreement with the State of Minnesota Historical Preservation Organization for Railroad Right of Way.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Richard Fursman, City Manager
FROM: Karen Guilfoile, City Cleric
DATE: September 2, 2005
RE: Ordinance Change — Fee Waivers
Introduction
From time to time the city is requested by local organizations, mostly non - profits, to
waive the fee for temporary food and occasionally alcohol (beer and wine) when having
an event. Most generally these requests are received from churches, boy scout troops,
schools and the VFW.
When these requests are made, staff prepares an agenda report recommending the fee
waiver. Rarely does the city receive a request that has not been an annual event.
Background
The city code currently reads:
Sec. 2 -7. Waiver of license or permit fee for city events.
The city council may waive any requirements for payment of a license fee or permit fee
for any city- sponsored event.
Staff is requesting that the current code be amended to permit administrative approval on
these types of fee waivers. Any fee waiver that requests intoxicating liquor would
continue to be brought to council for approval.
Sec. 2 -7. Waiver of license or permit fee for city events.
The city eexiieil manager or his designee may waive any requirements for payment of
a license fee or permit fee for local organizations, non profits and city- sponsored
events.
Recommendation
Staff requests council approval of the above ordinance amendment permitting the city
manager or his designee to waive fees for the aforementioned licenses or permits.
