DISPATCHING EQUIPMENT REFERENDUM
1. Acting City Manager Haider introduced the staff report (J -1 in the Regular Council Meeting
Agenda Packet).
2. Finance Director Faust presented the specifics of the report and updated the council on new
information.
Councilmember Wasiluk asked staff if there would be a cost to the city if the referendum were to go
on this November's ballot. City Clerk Guilfoile said it was too late for the referendum to be on the
white ballot and that a paper ballot would cost around $1,800 to have printed.
Staff informed Council that the finished ballot has to be to the county by October 6, 2000. Staff
said the council needs to decide tonight if the referendum is going to go on the November 7th ballot.
This item will be discussed further at this evening's regular council meeting.
E. STOP SIGN POLICY
'Acting City Manager Haider, an article from the Maplewood in Motion which identifies
the policy and gives some background as to why the city implemented this policy. Mr. Haider said
that this article appears in the Maplewood in Motion once a year and serves as a notice to everyone
that in May the city will hold a public meeting to discuss stop sign requests. Mr. Haider said that
special requests can be taken at any time.
Councilmember Wasiluk said there was a petition in 1998 for a stop sign on Clarence Street and
Ripley Avenue but no one came to the meeting in May of that year to present the request. There
was a discussion on this and it was decided that Councilmember Wasiluk would contact the people
involved and have them get another petition together and the council will look at their request as
soon as possible instead of them having to wait until next year.
Councilmember Wasiluk said that she had received a letter regarding a request for a T -sign on
County Road B and Arcade Street. Councilmember Wasiluk said she had looked at the site and that
there was a Stop Ahead sign. The council directed staff to put up a reflectorized double arrow
T -sign at this location.
F. OTHER BUSINESS
1. Update on 2001 Proposed Budget
a. Acting City Manager Haider introduced the staff report.
b. Finance Director Faust presented the specifics of the staff report.
Mayor Cardinal asked Finance Director Faust to explain what the budget fund balance
target of 36% of revenues was. Finance Director Faust explained that one reason it is at 36%
is because the city needs a fund balance to finance the city's cash flow, i.e., a lot of the city
revenues come in the second half of the year, such as property taxes and state aid, so the city
needs some extra money on hand on January 1 st to finance the city's operations until then.
Mr. Faust said another reason for the 36% is to help maintain the city's bond rating.
G. FUTURE TOPICS
1. Open Burning
There was no discussion on this topic.

SUBJECT: No- Parking Signage Request
DATE: September 28, 2000
A request has been made, by a resident, to install no- parking signs on Kennard Street
from Gervais Avenue, north to the end, on the east side adjacent to Four Seasons
Park. This is a reasonable request as the street is narrow and parking during park
activities restricts traffic movement. Also, snow removal operations are sometimes
hampered by parked vehicles.
It is recommended the city council establish a no- parking zone and direct public
works to install the necessary signage on Kennard Street from Gervais Avenue
north to the end.

SUBJECT: Birch Glen
LOCATION: Ariel Street, between Woodlynn Avenue and County Road D
APPLICANT: Specialty Development Corporation (Bob Bankers)
DATE: September 21, 2000
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Mr. Bob Bankers, representing Specialty Development Corporation, is proposing to build a 60-
unit apartment building. He is proposing this project on a 3.2 -acre site on the east side of Ariel
Street between Woodlynn Avenue and County Road D. (See the location map on page 14 and
the property line /zoning map on page 15.)
The project would be a 3 -story apartment building with underground parking for 66 cars. There
also would be a detached garage with nine parking stalls and 64 surface parking spaces on the
site. The building would have a mix of about 48 two - bedroom units, 12 three - bedroom units,
and a storm shelter in the garage area of the building. (See the proposed building floor plans
and the developer's project statement on page 23 and 24.)
Requests
To build the development, the applicant is requesting that the city approve the following:
1. A change in the city's land use plan. This change would be from BC (business
commercial) to R -3(H) (residential high density). (See the existing and proposed land use
plan maps on pages 16 and 17.)
2. A conditional use permit (CUP) for a planned unit development (PUD) fora 60 -unit
apartment development. The applicant is requesting the CUP because the F (farm
residence) zoning district limits the uses in the district to single dwellings and farm
activities and prohibits multiple - family residential uses. (See the property line /zoning map
on page 15.)
3. Design approval.
DISCUSSION
Land Use Plan Change
To build the proposed apartment building„ Mr., hankers wants the city to change the land use plan
for the site. This change vvaulef be from BC (business commercial) to R -3(H) (residential high
density). (Sep the existing and proposed land use maps on pages 16 and 17.) The city intends
R -3(H) areas for a variety of housing including double dwellings, town houses or apartments of up
to 16.3 units per gross acre. For BC (business commercial) areas, the city plans for offices, clinics,
restaurants, day care centers and retail businesses.
Land use plan changes do not require specific findings for approval. Any change, however, should
be consistent with the city's land use goals and policies. There are several goals in the
Comprehensive Plan that apply to this request. Specifically, the land use plan has eleven general
land use goals. Of these, three apply to this proposal including:
Provide for orderly development.
Minimize conflicts between land uses.
Provide a wide variety of housing types.
The land use plan also has several general development and residential development policies that
relate to this project. They include:
• Transitions between distinctly differing types of land uses should not create a negative
economic, social or physical impact on adjoining developments.
• The city coordinates land use changes with the character of each neighborhood.
• Inciude a variety of housing types for all residents ... including apartments, town houses,
manufactured homes, single- family housing, public- assisted housing, low- and 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.
This is a good site for apartment -style housing. It is near a major collector street (County Road D)
and between two arterial streets (White Bear Avenue and McKnight Road), open space and, of
course, shopping.
One advantage of this proposal is that an area that the city once thought would be good for
commercial development would become residential. This should be beneficial to the existing
nearby residential properties. Having apartments near existing residences should be better
neighbors than commercial or retail uses that the existing land use designation would allow. In
addition, this property would not be a ,great site for a commercial or retail business. It is too far
away and hidden from the main commerciai area along white Bear Avenue to make it desirable for
a commercial or retail business.
As proposed, the 60 units on the 3.2 -acre site means there would be 18.75 units per gross acre.
However, with the density credits as allowed by Section 36 -114 of the code (for underground
parking and,open space), the developer could add 0.64 acres to the site. This brings the site total
to 3.84 gross acres which calculates to a project density of about 15.7 units per gross acre. This is
2
consistent with the maximum density standard (16.3 units per acre) in the comprehensive plan for
apartment buildings with more than 50 units.
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.
Conditional Use Permit, Planned Unit Development and Site Plan
The applicant has applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) for a planned unit development
(PUD) for the 60 -unit apartment development. They are requesting the CUP because the F (farm
residence) zoning limits the uses to single dwellings and farm activities.
Section 36 -438 of the city code lists the city's purpose, intent and requirements for planned unit
developments in Maplewood. Specifically, the code says that the intent of this section is to provide
a means to allow flexibility by deviations from provisions of this chapter, including uses, setbacks,
height and other regulations. Deviations may be granted for planned unit developments provided
that:
(1) Certain regulations contained in this chapter should not apply to the proposed development
because of its unique nature.
(2) The PUD would be consistent with the purposes of this chapter.
(3) 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.
(4) The deviations would not constitute a significant threat to the property values, safety,
health or general welfare of the owners or occupants of nearby land.
(5) The deviations are required for reasonable and practicable physical development and are
not required solely for financial reasons.
The proposed site plan has two areas with deviations from the code standards -the building
setback from the east property line and the parking lot setback from Ariel Street. Section 36-
28(c)(6) of the city code requires a commercial or multiple-family residential building with a wall
area of more than 3,000 square feet to have a 100 -foot setback from a residential lot line. In this
case, the east property line of the site is a residential lot line. This is because the adjacent
property has a single dwelling on it and because the city is planning it for residential (R -2) uses.
The developer is proposing that the apartment building have a 50 -foot setback from the east
property line and has shown the proposed building on the largest buildable part of the property.
The shape of the property (165 feet by 831 feet) and the existing pipelines and power lines across
the middle of the site limit the location and shape of what one might build on this property. This
unique shape, along with the pipeline and power line easements, provides a basis for approval.
Staff also supports the proposed parking tot layout. As with the building, the shape of the lot limits
the building placement and the location of the front parking lot. It is important to have parking
spaces and access to the front of the building. The part of the parking lot that would encroach into
the 15 -foot setback by Ariel Street should not cause any problems on this site or to the neighbors.
In reviewing the above -list of criteria for deviations, the proposed PUD would meet these criteria.
Specifically, the proposal would be consistent with the purposes of this chapter, it would produce a
development of equal or superior quality, the deviations would not constitute a significant threat to
the neighbors and the deviations would be reasonable and are not for financial purposes.
Compatibility is a concern with this development proposal. That is, is a 60 -unit apartment .building
in this location compatible with the nearby land uses, including the residential uses? In this case,
the nearest areas that the city has planned residentially to the site are the properties to the east
and to the south across Woodlynn Avenue. Specifically, the proposed apartment building would
be about 225 feet from the nearest house to the east. The city council should consider methods
such as screening and light -glare control to help protect these nearby residents from possible
disturbances.
The city should approve the CUP since the proposal meets the criteria for a conditional use permit
These criteria include conforming - with the comprehensive plan and codes, would not change the
character of the area, would not depreciate property values and would generate minimal traffic on
local streets. (See the criteria in the resolution on page 27.)
Design Approval
Building Design and Exterior Materials
The proposed building would be attractive and would have three stories above grade and an
underground parking area. As proposed, the building would have an exterior of face brick, gable
ends with shakes, horizontal vinyl siding and the roof would have asphalt shingles. (See the
elevation drawings on pages 21 and 22 and the proposed project plans). The developer has
proposed a mix of building colors with earth -toned rusts and creams (red, brown and herringbone
(tan)) with white trim and accents.
Public Utilities
There are sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water in Ariel Street and Woodlynn Avenue to serve
the proposed development. Specifically, the storm sewer in Woodlynn Avenue was designed and
installed to accommodate drainage from a large area north of Woodlynn Avenue. The developer's
plans will connect their pipes to the existing storm and sanitary sewer pipes.
Wetland and Drainage
The project plans show a wetland on the southeast corner of the site. This wetland serves as a
natural storm water collection and absorption area for this site and for some of the surrounding
area. The Ramsey/Washington Metro Watershed District classified this wetland as a Class Five
(highly impacted) wetland. These are the wetlands that humans have impacted the most and
have the least diverse types of vegetation and the least community resource significance.
Maplewood's wetland protection ordinance does not require a buffer around a Class Five wetland.
However, the building foundations must be at least ten feet from the edge of the wetland. The
proposed grading plan would meet the wetland ordinance requirements.
The developer has designed the storm water drainage for this site to go into the wetland. In times
of large storms, storm water may overflow out of the wetland into the existing city storm water
system. The city will need a drainage and utility easement over the wetland area. This project will
need a permit from the watershed district.
Landscaping
The proposed landscaping plan looks very nice and shows at least 84 new trees including red
oaks, birch and Austrian Pine. The proposed plans (pages 19 and 20) show most of the site being
4
graded. This will remove much of the existing vegetation and many of the existing mature trees on
the property. However, the proposed plans keep many of the existing mature cottonwood and
aspen trees on the north end of the site. The city should require the developer to preserve most of
the existing vegetation along the north side of the site near County Road D and near the wetland
on the southeast corner of the property. This existing vegetation in these areas will protect existing
slopes, are in and near the wetland and will help provide screening of the building.
Site Lights
The applicant should provide a lighting plan indicating the light spread and fixture design. The
lighting code requires a plan when near homes. The fixtures installed should be a design that
hides the bulb and lens from View to avoid nuisances.
Sidewalk
Staff is recommending that the developer install a five - foot -wide concrete sidewalk on the east
side of Ariel Street between Woodlynn Avenue and County Road D. This sidewalk would provide
the residents of this building off - street pedestrian access to the shopping area and church to the
south and to the business on County Road D. A sidewalk along Ariel Street also would provide a
pedestrian link to the existing sidewalk along Woodlynn Avenue and to the sidewalk along Ariel
Street south of Woodlynn Avenue.
COMMISSION ACTION
On September 7,, 2000, the planning commission recommended approval of the proposed land
use plan change and the conditional use permit for the planned unit development.
On September 19, 2000, the community design review board recommended approval of the
design plans for the project.
RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Approve the resolution on page 25. This resolution changes the land use plan from BC
(business commercial) to R -3(H) (residential high density) for the 3.2 -acre site of the Birch
Glee housing development. The city bases these changes on the following findings:
1. This site is proper for and consistent with the city's goals, objectives and policies for
high- density residential land use in the comprehensive plan. This includes:
a. Creating a transitional land use between the existing residential and
commercial land uses.
b. It is near a collector street, open space and shopping and is between two
arterial streets.
2. This development will minimize any adverse effects on surrounding properties
because:
a. The on -site pond and large setback from Woodlynn Avenue will separate
the apartment building from the residences to the south.
b. There should be no significant traffic increase from this development on
existing local residential streets. The existing street pattern keeps the
5
apartment traffic separate from the existing single dwellings and other
residences.
3. This change would eliminate a planned commercial area that would have been next
to residential areas.
B. Approve the resolution starting on page 26. This resolution approves a conditional use
permit for a planned unit development for the Birch Glen apartment development on Ariel
Street. 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:
1. AM construction shall follow the plans date - stamped August 15, 2000. The city
council may approve major changes. The director of community development may
approve minor changes.
2. The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of council
approval or the permit shall end. The council may extend this deadline for one
year.
3.* Have the city engineer approve final construction and engineering plans. These
plans shall include: grading, utility, drainage, erosion control, streets, sidewalks,
tree and driveway and parking lot plans.
4. The design of the pond shall be subject to the approval of the city engineer. The
developer shall provide the city an easement for this pond that shall cover at least
all the area within the 942 contour. The developer also shall provide the city a 20-
foot -wide drainage and utility easement over the storm sewer pipe between the
pond and the Woodlynn Avenue right -of -way.
5. The developer or contractor shall:
a. Complete all grading for the site drainage and the pond, complete all public
improvements and meet all city requirements.
b.* Place temporary orange safety fencing and signs at the grading limits.
C. Remove any debris, junk and garbage from the site.
d. install a 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk along the east side of Ariel Street
between County Road D and Woodlynn Avenue.
6. There shall be no outdoor storage of recreational vehicles, boats or trailers.
7. Residents shall not park trailers and vehicles that they do not need for day -to -day
transportation on site. If the city decides there are excess parking spaces available
on site, then the city may allow the parking of these on site.
8. The developer shall provide an on -site storm shelter in the apartment building. This
shelter shall be subject to the approval of the director of emergency preparedness.
It shall have a minimum of three square feet per person for 80% of the planned
population.
9. The city council shall review this permit in one year.
C.ol
*The developer must complete these conditions before the city issues a grading
permit or a building permit.
C. Approve the plans date- stamped August 15, 2000 (site plan, landscape plan, grading and
drainage plans and building elevations) for Birch Glen. The city bases this approval on the
findings required by the code. The developer or contractor shall do the following:
1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this
project.
2. Complete the following before the city issues a building permit:
a.* Have the ci e ngineer approve final construction and engineering plans.
These plans shall include: grading, utility, drainage, erosion control, tree,
sidewalk and driveway and parking lot plans. The plans shall meet the
following conditions:
(1) The erosion control plan shall be consistent with city code.

�a) Include building, floor elevation, water elevation and contour
information. These shall include the normal water elevation
and 100 -year highwater elevation.
(b) Include contour information for the land that the construction
will disturb.
(c) Show sedimentation basins or ponds as required by the
watershed board or by the city engineer.
(d) Show all proposed slopes steeper than 3:1. on the proposed
construction plans. The city engineer shall approve the plans,
specifications and management practices for any slopes
steeper than 3:1. This shall include covering these slopes
with wood fiber blankets and seeding them with a "no mow"
vegetation rather than using sod or grass.
(e� Show all retaining walls on the plans. Any retaining walls
more than 4 feet tall require a building permit from the city.
(3)* The tree plan shall:
(a) Be approved by the city engineer before site grading or tree
removal.

(8) The developer shall install afive- foot -wide concrete sidewalk along
Ariel Street between Woodlynn Avenue and County Road D.
(9) The developer's engineer shall verify that the catch basin in
Woodlynn Avenue is sized large enough to receive a 30 -inch pipe.
As an alternative, consider constructing a new catch basin manhole
on Woodlynn Avenue directly south of the pond.
b. Submit a lawn- irrigation plan to staff showing the location of sprinkler heads.
o. Submit a certificate of survey for all new construction.
d. Revise the landscape plan for city staff approval showing:

northern property line and around the wetland preserved as
possible.
(2) The manicured or mowed areas from the natural areas. This shall
include planting (instead of sodding) the disturbed areas on the
south side of the apartment building around the storm water pond
with native grasses and native flowering plants. The native grasses
and flowering plants shalt be those needing little or no maintenance.
This is to reduce maintenance costs and to reduce the temptation of
mowers to encroach into the pond. Specifically, the developer shall
have the natural areas seeded with an upland mixture above the 942
contour and shall use a lowland mixture below the 942 contour.
(3) The planting of native grasses and flowering plants around the

W
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Staff surveyed the 13 property owners within 350 feet of the site about the proposal and received
no responses.
REFERENCE
Site Description
The site is undeveloped.
Surrounding Land Uses
North: First Financial office building and two single dwellings across County Road D.
East: A single dwelling and city open space.
South:. Salvation Army worship center and Cottages of Maplewood across Woodlynn Avenue.
West: Day care center, undeveloped property and the Rock across Ariel Street.
Reasons for the Requests
This proposal needs a land use plan change because:
1. State law does not allow a city to adopt any regulation that conflicts with its comprehensive
plan.
2. One of the findings required by code for a CUP is that the use is in conformity with the
city's comprehensive plan.
The land use plan shows this site for BC (business commercial) uses, which does not include
multiple - family housing. The developer is applying for a CUP because the zoning on this site is F
(farm residence). The F zone allows single dwellings and farm uses. The developer chose to
apply for a CUP, rather than a zone change. A CUP for a PUD is only for a specific use and site
plan. A rezoning to R -3 (multiple dwelling residential) would allow a variety of multiple - dwelling
uses and plans.
Planning Considerations
Existing Land Use Plan Designation: BC (business commercial)
Proposed Land Use Plan Designation: R -3(H) (residential high density)
CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL
AL
Land Use Plan Change
There are no specific criteria for a land use plan change. Any land use plan change should be
consistent with the goals and policies in the city's comprehensive plan.
11
Criteria for CUP Approval
Section 36- 442(a) states that the city council may grant a CUP, subject to the nine standards for
approval. Refer to the resolution on pages 26 and 27.
Criteria for Design Approval
Section 25 -70 of the city code requires that the CDRB 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 oroccupation 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.
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, town houses, 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.
12
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
We received this application on August 15, 2000. State law requires that the city take action within
60 days of receiving complete applications for a proposal. City council action is required on this
proposal by October 15, 2000, unless the applicant agrees to a time extension.

Project Overview
AUG 0
We are proposing to construct a market rate three story 60 u .nt.MR. - w. th
.
underground garages. The site consists of 3.2 acres running along Ariel Street from
County Road D to Woodlyn Ave.
BUILDING
The building will be constructed to resemble two 30 unit buildings connected by a
common three story atrium area containing the main entrance and elevator. This main
entrance area will feature an expanded covered porch with a railing system to create a
casual atmosphere. The basement level will be heated and consist of a arkin garage for
p gg g
64 cars as well as the mechanical rooms and storage areas. The building makeup will
consist of two and three bedroom uni with approximately 80% of the uni containin
two bedrooms. All units will contain high speed internet access, balconies, two baths
laundries, ducted heating and air conditioning, and other modern conveniences.
The exterior of the building will start with brick on the ground level and transition to vinyl
siding at differing heights depending on the location. The colors will be earth toned rusts
and creams for which samples have been provided. The grounds will be extensive)
landscaped with additional emphasis given to Pine and Birch trees to p
p roduce an "up
north" feel.
LOCATION
The building will sit on the northern half of the property. The southern half will contain
additional surface parking and surface garages. There will be 12 additional garages and 64
g g g
surface parking stalls. For a total of 140 parking spaces. This area also contains a small
wetland ( approximately 3,000 square feet ) which, at the request of city staff will be du
q y g
approximately 4 ft deeper to enhance water quality but will not otherwise be disturbed.
The wetland will be incorporated into the landscaping plan as is. Approximately 4°
• � p •g p , t
5 /o of
the site will be left green with an extensive landscaping plan to maximize the .
nature of the site.

MARKET
In researching Maplewood we discovered that, ( excluding housing for the elderly) , there
have been no new market -rate apartment buildings built in the area for over 10 Y ears. A
resent study of the area conducted for us by a market research firm showed a vacancy
rate of less than 1%. or virtually nonexistent. Since the last apartments were built the
area has grown substantially. Employment in the Hospital, Maplewood Mall, and the
surrounding businesses has greatly increased with no comparable increase in rental
housing. There also is a segment of the local population " empty nesters " who no longer
want the maintenance associated with home ownership, but are not ready for a senior
housing complex. These people are lookin g for units with elevators two baths in unit
laundries,' high speed internet access , and other amenities which are not available in the
area. These along with other factors have produced a need for this type of housing.
. g
We believe there is a strong demand in this area for the many amenities that have become
standard in new properties over the last ten years. By providing these amenities along
with exceptional exterior fishes, and large ( 54% of the lot ) extensively landscaped
green space, we feel that Birch Glen will be an asset to the communit
CHANGES
This property is listed on the long range plans as BC, we are requesting a change to R-
3H. We have owned this land for several years and have looked at many uses during that
time, including a hotel, strip mall, offices and a restaurant. After consideration we feel this
use is both the most needed and the most compatible with the surrounding area. Our
. . p g
property is the transition piece from business commercial uses across the road to the West
to the residential use adjoining the property to the East. The commercial uses on the West
p Y
side of the Ariel are very low in intensity. They consist of the side yard of a da Y care
center and the outlot of a bar /restaurant parking lot. After our building is built we feel it
will create a smoother transition to the residential use planned to the East than would have
been encountered if this property were used as commercial.
This zoning change also allows us to leave over half the lot as green space which will
create a more desirable neighborhood.
The lot is 894 feet long and only 165 feet wide. The East elevation of the buildin g we are
proposing will occupy only 392 feet of the 894 foot lot length. The remaining 502 feet
will not have buildings at the East setback. Because of this unusual shape we are
requesting a setback of 50 feet in the rear yard area behind the building and would like to
position our front drive on the front property line . We would build a four foot high brick.
and metal fence in front of the front drive and, with city approval, landscape the area in
front of the fence. We have also proposed to install extensive plantings of trees to act as a
screen between this building and the neighboring properties.
Allowing these changes will enable us to produce a nicer development more compatible
p p
with the neighborhood and with much more open green space. Being able to leave over
half the property as green space adds immensely to the project desirability.

LAND USE PLAN CHANGE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Mr. Bob Bankers, representing Specialty Development Corporation, applied for a
change to the city's land use plan from BC (business commercial) to R -3(H) (residential high
density).
WHEREAS, this change applies to the undeveloped property located on the east side of
Ariel Street between Woodlynn Avenue and County Road D.
WHEREAS, the history of this change is as follows:
1. On September 7, 2000, the planning commission held a public hearing. The city staff
published a hearing notice in the'Maplewood Review and sent notices to the surrounding
property Owners. The planning commission gave everyone at the hearing a chance to
speak and present written statements. The planning commission recommended that the
city council approve the plan amendments.
2. On October 9, 2000, the city council discussed the land use plan change. They considered
reports and recommendations from the planning commission and city staff.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the city council approve the above - described
changes for the following reasons:
1. This site is proper for and consistent with the city's goals, objectives and policies for high -
density residential land use in the comprehensive plan. This includes:
a. Creating a transitional land use between the existing residential and commercial
land uses.
b. It is near a collector street, open space and shopping and is between two arterial
streets.
2. This development will minimize any adverse effects on surrounding properties because:
a. The on -site pond and large setback from Woodlynn Avenue will separate the
apartment building from the residences to the south.
b. There should be no significant traffic increase from this development on existing
local residential streets. The existing street pattern keeps the apartment traffic
separate from the existing single dwellings and other residences.
3. This change would eliminate a planned commercial area that would have been next to
residential areas.
The Maplewood City Council adopted this resolution on 2000.
25
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Mr. Bob Bankers, representing Specialty Development Corporation, applied for a
conditional use permit (CUP) for the Birch Glen apartment planned unit development (PUD).
WHEREAS, this permit applies to the undeveloped property on the east side of Ariel Street
between Woodlynn Avenue and County Road D. The legal description is:
That part North of the centerline of Woodlynn Avenue of the East 197.958 feet of the West
527.268 feet (subject to roads and pipe line easement) in the NE 1/4 of Section 2, Township 9
p ,
Range 22. (PIN 02- 29-22 -12 -0007)
WHEREAS, the history of this conditional use permit is as follows:
.1. On September 7, 2000, the planning commission recommended that the city council
approve this permit.
2. On October 9, 2000, the city council held a public hearing. The city staff published a
notice in the paper and sent notices to the surrounding property owners. The council
gave everyone at the hearing a chance to speak and present written statements. The
council also considered reports and recommendations of the city staff and lannin g
commission.
p
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the city council approve the above - described
conditional use permit, because:
1. The use would be located, designed, maintained, constructed and operated to be in
conformity with the city's comprehensive plan and code of ordinances.
2. The use would not change the existing or planned character of the surrounding area.
3. The use would not depreciate property values.
4. The use would not involve any activity, process, materials, equipment or methods of
operation that would be dangerous, hazardous, detrimental, disturbing or cause a
nuisance to any person or property, because of excessive noise, glare, smoke, dust,
odor, fumes, water or air pollution, drainage, water run -off, vibration, general
unsightliness, electrical interference or Other nuisances.
5. The use would generate only minimal vehicular traffic on local streets and would not
create traffic congestion or unsafe access on existing or proposed streets.
6. The use would be served by adequate public facilities and services, including streets,
police and fire protection, drainage structures, water and sewer systems, schools and
parks.
7. The use would not create excessive additional costs for public facilities or services.
8. The use would maximize the preservation of and incorporate the site's natural and scenic
features into the development design.

MINUTES OF THE MAPLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION
1830 COUNTY ROAD B EAST, MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2000
A. birch Glen - Apartment Com lex (Adel Street between Woodlynn Avenue and County Road D)
Land Use Plan Change (BC to R -3(H)) and Conditional Use Permit for Planned Unit. Development.
Ken Roberts, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. The project is proposed by Specialty
Development Corporation to build a 60 -unit apartment building on a vacant property along Adel
Street. The project would be a three -story apartment building with underground parking for
approximately 66 vehicles. There would also be a detached garage with nine parking stalls and an
p • • d be a mix of approximately additional 64 surface parking spaces on the site. There would pp Y 48 two -
bedroom units and 12 three - bedroom units. There would also be a storm shelter in the garage area
of the building. To build this development, the applicant asks the City for three .approvals, two for
which require the Planning Commission to act upon.
First is the change to the land use plan. The site is currently planned BC (Business Commercial).
The proposal is to orange the site to R -3(H) (Residential High Density). The adjacent property is
currently zoned R2 (Single /Double Dwellings) and will remain in that zoning district. The R -3(H)
area is intended for a variety of housing types including townhouses, double dwellings, and
apartments of up to 16.3 units per acre. The current BC zone is general commercial areas that are
intended for offices, clinics, restaurants, daycare centers and retail businesses. There were several
things in the Plan that both Staff and the Commission and ultimately the Council should consider.
These include our general land use plan goals and our residential development policies that are in
the Plan as well as our housing policies that are in the Plan. It is staffs opinion That this would be a
good site for this apartment style housing. It is near a major collective street (County Road D) and
between two arterial streets (White Bear Avenue and McKnight Road), near open space and the
shopping area and services area along White Bear Avenue.
An advantage of this proposal is that it changes this strip of land from commercial to residential. It
is staff's opinion the site does not look like a good site for commercial or retail business, which tends
to want to be right along White Bear Avenue or much closer to White Bear Avenue. This site is
really too hidden, or too far from the main strip of activity along White Bear Avenue to make it
desirable for retail type businesses. Mr. Roberts explained the density credits that are allowed by
the City Code for open space and underground parking in the building. This project calculates to
about 15.7 units per acre, slightly under the 16.3 that is allowed for apartment buildings with 50 units
in our high density area.
The applicant is also asking for approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) fora 60 -unit development. The proposed plan has two areas that deviate from
code standards. The city may allow deviations for planned unit developments provided it meets the
following criteria:
(1) Certain regulations contained in this chapter should not apply to the proposed development
because of its unique nature.
(2) The PUD would be consistent with the purposes of this chapter.
(3) 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.
(4) The deviations would not constitute a significant threat to the property values, safety, health or
general welfare of the owners or occupants of nearby land.
(5) The deviations are required for reasonable and practicable physical development and are not
required solely for financial reasons.
Mr. Roberts pointed out that the building as proposed would be 50 -feet from the east property line.
A large building such as this next to residential would normally have a 100 -foot setback. The
Planning Commission
Minutes of 07 -09 -00
second area of deviation is for the parking lot in front of the building. The west edge of the parking
lot is right up to the right -of -way line. Normal setback requirement would be 15 -feet. `
The site is quite long and not very wide. It is 830 -feet long from north to south, and 165 -feet wide.
With the power lines and easements through the middle area, there is a large area that cannot be
built on. The buildable part of the site is the north area where the proposed apartment building has
been placed. Because of those factors, the shape, the power lines and pipelines, and the wetlands,
Mr. Roberts feels that there is not much else that could be done with this site for putting on an
apartment building on. Because of these factors, and the quality of the project before the
Commission, Staff recommends approval of the PUD with the two deviations. Staff also
recommends approval of the CUP for the Planned Unit Development.
Mr. Roberts stated there are two recommendations to take action on. The first is for the Land Use
Plan change, from BC (Business Commercial) to R3(H) (Residential High Density) for this project
and the site. The second item is approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the PUD for the Birch
Glen apartment development subject to nine conditions that are outlined on page 6 of the staff
report. Mr. Roberts also stated that staff is recommending that the developer install a five -foot wide
concrete sidewalk along Aria[ to serve both the people coming and going from the building to
connect to the sidewalks along Woodland.
Commissioner Trippler stated concerns regarding planting Birch trees in the area. The developer is
proposing to plant 84 trees, using three different varieties. He questioned the prospect of having a
larger variety of trees to avoid having some type of tree disease wipe them out. He also was
concerned whether Birch trees would do very well and would it be problematic to keep that species
of tree growing in that particular area. He also stated he was concerned about the residential
structure that is within 150 -feet of the proposed development, which is a three -story structure. He
asked if it would be possible to develop lighting that will light the east side of the structure that would
not be problematic for the people that live on that side of it. Commission Trippler understands that
the applicant is proposing to plant trees to provide a barrier between the apartment complex and the
house. Over a long period of time this would probably be an effective solution, but in the short run
he questioned whether that would be effective or not.
Mr. Haider stated that Commissioner Trippler's concerns are a Design Review Board consideration
and Commission Ledvina would forward these concerns to the Design Review Board. Commission
Ledvina agreed.
Commission Rossbach stated that in a lot of cases Commissioner Trippler's comments would be
Design Review Board considerations, but this is a Planned Unit Development and the Planning
Commission is looking at the specific plan, so he feels that the Commission is not limited to dealing
with land use issues.
Commission Pearson asked Mr. Haider what the depth of the Williams petroleum lines running
across the property was. He also asked if when a parking lot is placed above a pipeline, what
typically is done to be sure the frost does not go down into the lines. Mr. Haider replied that he was
not sure how deep the pipelines lie. Williams would come out and locate them both horizontally and
vertically before there was construction on the site.. He indicated that these pipelines would not
typically freeze, therefore, the depth is not necessarily a big issue. In fact, they create a significant
amount of heat when product is going through them because there is a lot of friction from the line.
He stated that he understands that there are three lines going through this site. One line is not
being used, one is dedicated for fiber optics, and one is actively transporting petroleum product.
Commission Trippler questioned the Land Use Plan resolution, on page 25 of the staff report. He
questioned that since there is a 50 -foot setback variance, should that be stated in the resolution.
Mr. Roberts stated that if it is not an. item for the Land Use Plan change, it is covered in the text of
the report under the PUD conditional use permit resolution starting on page 26. He also stated that
Planning Commission
Minutes of 07 -09 -00
on the top of page 27 it is stated that construction has to follow the plans dated August 15, 2000.
Those plans show the two setback variances. If the Commission wishes to add language into that
section, pointing out those two deviations or variances to the Code, it could be done. However, Mr.
Roberts felt that it would not be necessary.
Commissioner Frost commented that he would be interested in staffs knowledge regarding what
could be done to County Road D to make it a more driveable road. Mr. Haider stated that there was
an attempt to upgrade the road a number of years ago. The residence at that time felt that
upgrading was necessary and the Council agreed. Mr. Haider stated that it maybe time to ask that
question again. It is currently not on the Capital Improvement Plan at this point.
The applicant, Bob Bankers of Specialty Development Corporation addressed the Commission. He
stated that the pipeline company has located the pipeline. It is between five and twelve feet below
the existing grade. He stated that the panting lot was designed so that no pavement would be over
that pipeline. There is approximately ten unpaved feet on each side of the pipeline.
Mr. Bankers stated that he agreed upon all of the conditions set forth by the staff report. He stated
that he feels that there is a need for this type of housing in Maplewood. Surveys show that there is
less than 1% vacancy in that area for comparable apartment buildings. He stated that this project
was not specifically targeted to the elderly, but a prime market target is the empty nester. He also
stated that this is not a subsidized project.
Commission Rossbach questioned Mr. Bankers as to what the return to the City of Maplewood will
be in exchange for granting the PUD variances. Mr. Bankers stated that the City will get an
apartment building that they do not currently have. The project is also allowing 54% of the land to
remain green, which is a high percentage in comparison to other projects in the area. The wetland
will be largely undisturbed, except for digging it deeper at staff s request to hold drainage for the
property to the east when that is developed.
Commission Rossbach question Mr. Bankers as to why the garage in the proposed project is L-
shaped. Mr. Bankers stated that it was designed in this shape to achieve additional space in the
back part of the garage for apartment maintenance equipment. He stated that there is actually
space for 82 underground parking spaces. However, fhe plan is to have 66 designated spaces and
there will also be storage rooms.
Commission Frost invited any other members of the audience to make any comments regarding the
Birch Glen proposal. Mr. Housey, whom lives on the east side of the proposed project addressed
the Commission. He questioned what the setback variance would do to future building on the east
side. Mr. Roberts stated that the proposal is to have the building 50 -feet off the property line instead
of 100 -feet, which would normally be required by the size of the building. He stated he felt that it will
not affect the lot to the east at all as far as building. He stated the setbacks for that property would
be a minimum of 50 -feet or for a large building it could be 100 -feet.
Commissioner Rossbach commented that he feels that there is nothing appealing to this particular
proposal. Granted the lot is a long narrow lot, but it does not appear to him that any effort has been
made in design to accommodate that He stated that the proposed project has some attractive
features, however it is a tremendously long building and he feels that the project may demise the
property values of the adjacent property. He also stated concern as to if the adjacent property
owner decided to also make their property R3 and put in an equally large building, how could the
Commission deny them that request based upon granting this proposal. He agreed with the
applicant that we probably have a shortage of market rate apartments, and agrees that this is a
good area for high density residential, but feels that this proposed building is not a large asset to the
City of Maplewood. By granting the PUD request, the Commission is basically saying that they
agree that this is a good plan and that it is a asset to the City of Maplewood. Commissioner
Rossbach stated that he strongly suggests that the Commission vote against this application.
Planning Commission
Minutes of 07 -09 -00
Commissioner Rossbach moved to recommend to the City Council denial for the Resolution to
change the Land Use Plan from BC to R3(H) and further moved that the same action be taken in
regards to the Conditional Use Permit for Birch Glen Apartment Building. He included in his motion
that he does not feel that this is an appealing enough plan to offset the variances that would be
needed to be granted for the construction of the building.
There was no second. The motion did not carry.
Commissioner Pearson stated that he felt that the chance of commercial development in that area
would probably not be seen for that site based upon the reasons staff pointed out. He also added
that there is a distinct shortage of apartments in the Maplewood area and rents in the Maplewood
area are starting to escalate considerably. He feels that the best way to maintain, some equilibrium
on rents is to have enough of a supply. He stated that he feels that the area is terrific for the people
who will settle there, traffic would not be a problem, and he supports the project.
Commission Pearson moved the Planning Commission approve the Land Use Plan Change
Resolution changing the city's land use plan from BC (Business Commercial) to R3(H) (Residential
High Density) for the 3.2 acre site of the Birch Glen housing development. The city bases these
changes on the following findings.
1. This site is proper for and consistent with the city's goals, objectives and policies for high - density
residential land use in the comprehensive plan. This includes:
a. Creating a transitional land use between the existing residential and commercial land uses.
b. It is near a collector street, open space and shopping and is between two arterial streets.
2. This development will minimize any adverse effects on surrounding properties because:
a. The on -site pond and large setback. from Woodlynn Avenue will separate the apartment
building from the residences to the south. _
b. There should be no significant traffic increase from this development on existing local
residential streets. The existing street pattern keeps the apartment traffic separate from the
existing single dwellings and other residences.
3. This change would eliminate a planned commercial area that would have been next to residential
areas.
Commission Pearson also recommend to approve the resolution to approve the conditional use
permit for a Planned Unit Development for the Birch Glen apartment development on Ariel Street.
The city bases this approval on the findings required by code. Approval is subject to the following
conditions:
1. All construction shall follow the plans date - stamped August 15, 2000. The city council may
approve major changes. The director of community development may approve minor changes.
2. The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of council approval or the
permit shall end. The council may extend this deadline for one year.
3.* Have the city engineer approve final construction and engineering plans. These plans shall
include: grading, utility, drainage, - erosion control, streets, sidewalks, tree and driveway and
parking lot plans.

Minutes of 07 -09 -00
4. The design of the pond shall be subject to . the approval of the city engineer. The developer shall
provide the city an easement for this pond that shall cover at least all the area within the 942
contour. The developer: also shall provide the city a 20- foot -wide drainage and utility easement
over the storm sewer pipe between the pond and the Woodlynn Avenue right -of -way.
5. The developer or contractor shall:
a. Complete all grading for the site drainage and the pond, complete all public improvements and
meet al city requirements.
b.* Place temporary orange safety fencing and signs at the grading limits.
c. Remove any debris, junk and garbage from the site.
d. Install a 5- foot -wide concrete sidewalk along the east side of Adel Street between County Road
D and Woodlynn Avenue.
6. There shall be no outdoor storage of recreational vehicles, boats or trailers.
7. Residents shall not park trailers and vehicles .that they do not need for day -to -day transportation on
site. If the city decides there are excess parking spaces available on site, then the city may allow
the parking of these on site.
8. The developer shall provide an on -site storm shelter in the apartment building. This shelter shall
be subject to the approval of the director of emergency preparedness. It shall have a minimum of
three square feet per person for 80% of the planned population.
9. The city council shall review this permit in one year.
*The developer must complete these conditions before the city issues a grading permit or a building
permit.
Commissioner Trippler seconded the motion.
Commissioner Ledvina stated that he was concerned about the size of the building, but understands
the economics of a development such as this in terms of making the project financially viable. In
terms of the land use, he feels it is a good change and supports the change. He stated that there
are some draw backs in terms of the size of the building but feels that the other positive features of
the proposal outweigh those drawbacks.
Commissioner Pearson added that he was not just proposing approval on this application because
someone else has to live with it. He also lives in the area where a senior housing development has
gone in and also looks at a three -story building with similar setbacks. He does not feel this as a
terrible imposing presence. Discussion continued regarding the size and setbacks of the project
Commissioner Pearson described. Commission Rossbach agreed that the proposed spot is good,
and we need the housing. However, he stated that he feels the proposed plan is bad, and the City
could do better.
Commissioner Trippler agreed that yes, we could always do better. But given the situation and the
proposal before the Commission, it seems that there isn't really anything that could be done with the
shape of the lot. His primary concern was with the property owner to the east of the site, and how
they felt regarding the proposed project. It appears that the property owners are not opposed to this
development and it indicates to Commissioner Trippler that the 50 -foot setback is not an issue.
Ayes — 4
Nayes —1 (Rossbach)
Abstention —1 (Thompson)
The motion passed.
This item will be on the October 9, 2000 City Council agenda, and on the September 19, 2000
Design Review Board agenda.
MINUTES OF THE MAPLEWOOD COMMUNITY DESIGN AND REVIEW BOARD
1830 -COUNTY ROAD B EAST, MAPLEWOOD MINNESOTA
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2000
B. Birch Glen -- Aerial Street and County Road D.
The proposal by Specialty Developement Corporation, is to build a sixty unit apartment building on
a 3.2 acre site on the east side of Aerial Street and Woodland Avenue on County Road D. This
project would be a three story apartment building with underground parking for 66 cars. There
would also be a detached garage with 9 parking stalls, and 64 surface parking spaces. The
planning commission has reviewed the change in the city's land use plan and the conditional use
permit. There is a class five wetland on the site. A lighting plan, indicating a lighting spread and
fixture design, is being required as well as a sidewalk along the east side of Aerial Street for foot
traffic to County Road D. Staff is recommending approval.
Mr. Bob Bankers with Specialty Development, 1725 Tower Drive west, Stillwater, was present to
detail the plan and to answer questions. Pat Flaherty, Mr. Bankers business partner, was also
present. The developernent will have the appearance of two buildings with a Central three story
atrium in the middle with a covered porch. The windows, soffits, and fascia will all -be the same
shade of white. The central air and furnace are contained in a "space pack unit" which is 2 feet by
4 feet and sits in the wall. The unit occupies the space of a small closet and provides air and heat
for all three main rooms. The grill to each space pack is flush with the exterior of the building.
Mr. Bankers explained they are using White Spider birch in their landscaping plan, which has
proven to be more resilient to insects and has a life span of fifty to seventy years.
The only concern of the board was the appearance of the unattached garage. Chairperson
Ledvina suggested arches to dress up the flat roof line. Board member Jorgenson agreed, and
felt incorporating the use of the brick used on the main building would prove beneficial to the
aesthetic appeal of the garage especially since it is quite visible from the road. Adding the brick
around the complete exterior of the garage and adding dormers was agreed to by the owners.
Board member Shankar moved the Community Design and Review board to:
Approve the plans date - stamped August 15, 2000 (site plan, landscape plan, grading and
drainage plans and building elevations) for Birch Glen. The city bases this approval on the
findings required by the code. The developer or contractor shall do the following:
1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this
project.
2. Complete the following before the city issues a building permit:
a.* Have the city engineer approve final construction and engineering plans.
These plans shall include: grading, utility, drainage, erosion Control, tree,
sidewalk and driveway and parking lot plans. The plans shall meet the
following conditions:
C D RB -7-
09-19-00
(1) The erosion control plan shall be consistent with city code.
(2) The grading plan shall:
(a) Include building, floor elevation, water elevation and
contour information. These shall include the normal
water elevation and 100 -year highwater elevation.
(b) Include contour information for the land that the
construction will disturb.
(c) Show sedimentation basins or ponds as required by the
watershed board or by the city engineer.
(d) Show all proposed slopes steeper than 3:1 on the
proposed construction plans. The city engineer shall
approve the plans, specifications and management
practices for any slopes steeper than 3:1. This shall
include covering these slopes with wood fiber blankets
and seeding them with a "no mow" vegetation rather than
using sod or grass.
(e) Show all retaining walls on the plans. Any retaining walls
more than 4 feet tall require a building permit from the
city.
(3)" The tree plan shall:
(a) Be approved by the city engineer before site grading or
tree removal.
(b) Show where the developer will remove, save or replace
.large trees. This plan shall include an inventory of all
existing large trees on the site.
(c) Show no tree removal beyond the approved grading and
tree limits.
(d) These plans shall be consistent with the approved
landscape plan.
(4) The design of the storm water pond shall be subject to the
approval of the city engineer. The developer shall be responsible
for getting any needed off -site grading or drainage easements
and for recording all necessary easements.
(5) All the parking areas and driveways shall have continuous
concrete curb and gutter.
(6) The driveways shall meet the following standards:
24 -foot width - -no parking on either side and 32 -foot width- -
parking on one side. The developer or contractor shall post the

RE: Public Hearing on Proposed Levy Certification Tax Rate Increase
DATE: October 4, 2000
On September 15 the City Council approved a proposed tax levy payable in
2001 that is 11.9% higher than this year. State law requires that the City Council
hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution before a tax rate increase for 2001
is allowed. A copy of the resolution must be sent to the County Auditor by
October 20. Additional public hearings will be held on the 2001 budget and tax
levy in December. At that time the 2001 budget and tax levy can be changed.
It is recommended that the City Council hold the public hearing on October 9 and
then adopt the attached resolution. Adoption of the resolution does not prohibit
certification of a final tax levy that would result in no tax rate increase or a tax
rate decrease.
PAFI NANCE \WP\AGN \PHTAX01.WPD
Resolution Authorizing a Tax Rate Increase
for the 2000 Tax Levy, Collectible in 2001
Whereas, State law requires that the City Council hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution
before a levy certification tax rate increase may be allowed, and
Whereas, a public hearing has been held on October 9, 2000, and
Whereas, adoption of this resolution does not prohibit the city from certifying a final levy that
will result in no tax rate increase or a tax rate decrease,
Now therefore be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Maplewood, Minnesota, that the
County Auditor is authorized to fix a property tax rate for taxes payable in the year 2001 that is
higher than the tax rate calculated pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 275.078 for the city for taxes
levied in 1999, collectible in 2000.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager
FROM: Ken Roberts, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat - Pineview Estates
LOCATION; County Road D, east of Hazelwood
DATE: September 19, 2000
AGENDA ITEM NO,.7.J
i
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Patrick Goff, of Goff Homes, is proposing a preliminary plat for the Pineview Estates
development. Refer to the maps and drawings on pages 7 -12. Mr. Goff is proposing 72 lots for
townhouses in six, twelve -unit buildings.
Each of the proposed twelve- plexes would have the same design and exterior materials. The
proposed buildings would have exteriors of horizontal -lap vinyl siding. The front (street -side)
elevation also would have brick accents. Refer to the building elevations on page 12. (The
community design review board has already approved these plans.)
Requests
Mr. Goff is requesting approval of a preliminary plat for 72 lots so that he may sell each unit
individually.
BACKGROUND
On May 25, 1999, the community design review board (CDRB) approved the plans for the
Pineview Estates Condominiums. (See the building elevations on page 12.) This approval was
subject to four conditions.
On June 13, 2000, the community design review board approved revised plans for Pineview
Estates Apartments.. This approval was subject to five conditions. Since this approval, Mr. Goff
has decided to build the units that the CDRB approved in 1999.
DISCUSSION

MINUTES OF THE MAPLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION
1830 COUNTY ROAD B EAST, MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA
MONDAY SEPTEMBER 1.8, 2000 M
V. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Pineview Estates -- Located on County Road D between Hazlewood and Southlawn Ken Roberts
presented the staff report.
The proposed plan is the creation of 72 lots for 72 townhouse units that will occupy six 12 unit
buildings. The buildings will run perpendicular to County Road D. Each unit will have their own
piece of property and will be sold individually.
In May of 1999 the Community Design Review Board had approved plans for this project.
The project does meet the density standards for high density residential of up to twelve units per
acre.
The city staff is recommending approval of the plat with eleven conditions outlined in the staff
report. Mr. Goff, of Goff Homes was present to answer questions.
Commissioner Thompson expressed concern for the property north of the concrete. Staff
explained this area will be a commons area, and an outlot area, that the homeowners association
will be responsible for.
Commissioner Trippler questioned if a query was completed for the surrounding neighbors, and if
there is a sidewalk, or trail associated with the property. A neighborhood survey was not done
due to only two properties being affected within the typical 350 foot survey distance. The property
to the east has submitted a development application for a twelve unit townhouse development.
The other property, the Hajicek's, have received other notifications of the Goff proposals. These
two neighbors will be notified of the public hearing when it goes before the city council. The staff
initially felt the trail issue should be encouraged with the Hajicek property, or a trail could be added
with the connection of County Road D to Highway 61. The commission would like to reserve the
right, as a condition of the development and occupancy, to require the dedication of the trail, but
not the paving of the trail.
Commissioner Thompson felt the one percent grade concrete would become a skating rink of
sorts, and felt experience, not the book should dictate the product used. Mr. Cavett explained
the grades indicated for the blacktop driveway are .8 to 1 percent (Y2percent grade). The
grades are steeper than is what is "by the book ". The driveway is considered a relatively short
distance and Mr. Cavett felt comfortable with this grade.
The prospective age range of the owners concerned Commissioner Mueller due to the lack of an
area for children to play. Also, traffic concerns were raised. Staff felt approximately 600 vehicle
trips per day would not be an issue at the staff level. Where the staff was going to draw the line
was raised by Commissioner Rossbach. Staff felt the capacity problem was not a concern with
traffic except at the intersection of County Road D and White Bear Avenue.
Mr. Pat Goff, 865 Aspen Circle, Little Canada, was present to provide a summary of the project,
and to answer questions. Mr. Goffs decision to build town homes versus apartments was due to
the success of an identical project in the past. Each unit has its own entry and double car garage.
There are no common hallways or common areas as opposed to a big building. He stated he
would not be against building a large apartment complex. In fact, they are thinking of building one
or two 100 unit buildings in Vadnais Heights. These apartments would be targeted at more of a
55 and above age group and as a "for sale" type product.
They are very successfully developing the same exact project in Woodbury as the project
proposed for Maplewood. Each unit will be priced $120,000 to $130,000 for 1240 square feet.
The retaining wall that runs east to west is due to a 2 foot grade change in the building pads. The
configuration in the back of the lot contains a few parking spaces with a turnaround, rimmed with
curbing. Of the sixty homes in the Woodbury development, about 15 of the units have one or two
children. The adult age range is 25 -50. Due to no one dictating what type of building to build, Mr.
Goff explained that the homes are not handicapped accessible.
t
Planning Commission
Minutes of 09 -18 -00
Mr. Goffs rational of going back to his original (May of 1999) plan is twofold:
(1) The identical development is selling extremely well in Woodbury. He felt they could have the
same success in Maplewood if they mirrored this plan.
(2) Research was done regarding outside parking between units with one car garages versus two.
The number of cars being parked outside for units with a one car garage was 110 versus 17 for
units with double garages. This resulted in the plans returning to two car garages.
Commissioner Rossbach stated he is drawing his line precluding any further development along
County Road D until the city does something to address its connection to Highway 61, or provide
a traffic study showing how each and every project will be handled. .
Commissioner Rossbach moved to recommend to the City Council, the approval of the Pineview
Estates preliminary Plat received by the city on August 24, 2000. The developer shall complete
the following before the city council approves the final plat:
1. Sign an agreement with the city that guarantees that the developer or contractor
will:
a. Complete all grading for overall site drainage, complete all public improvements
and meet all city requirements.
b. * Place temporary orange safety fencing and signs at the grading limits.
C. Pay the city for the cost of any traffic- control or no parking signs.
d. Provide all required and necessary easements.
2. * Have the city engineer approve final construction and engineering plans. These
plans shall be revised to follow the site plan and preliminary plat dated August 24,
2000, and shall include the grading, utility, drainage, erosion control, tree, driveway
and street plans. The plans shall follow the plans dated December 15, 1999, as
approved by the Assistant City Engineer on February 14, 2000, and shall meet the
following conditions:
a. The erosion control plans shall be consistent with the city code.
b. The grading plan shall show:
(1) The proposed building pad elevation and contour information for each
home site. The lot lines on this plan shall follow the approved preliminary
plat.
(2) Contour information for all the land that the construction will disturb.
(3) The proposed street and driveway grades as allowed by the city
engineer.
(4) All proposed slopes on the construction plans. The city engineer shall
approve the plans, specifications and management practices for any
slopes steeper than 3:1. On slopes steeper than 3:1, the developer shall
prepare and implement a stabilization and planting plan. At a minimum,
the slopes shall be protected with wood fiber blankets, be seeded with a
no maintenance vegetation and be stabilized before the city approves the
final plat,
• Planning Commission

any retaining wall that is taller than four feet.
(6) Sedimentation basins or ponds as may be required by the watershed
board or by the city engineer.
(7) No grading beyond the plat boundary without temporary grading
easements from the affected property owner(s).
(8) Revise the westerly most sanitary sewer alignment to improve the
connection and flow angle of the sanitary sewer line entering the city's
existing sanitary sewer manhole. The city engineer must approve the
sanitary sewer connection realignment.
(9) Have the Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) review and
approve the proposed utility plans. Specifically, the former submittal
required 4 -inch mains to service the buildings with blow -offs at the ends.
All fire hydrants shall be next to County Road D.

(3) All utility excavations located within the proposed right -of -ways or within
easements. The developer shall acquire easements for all utilities that
would be outside the project area.
3. Pay the costs related to the engineering department's review of the construction plans.

White Bear Avenue Corridor Study- Summary Recommendations
October 2, 2000
BACKGROUND

Rejected
The White Bear Avenue Corridor Study was completed the first quarter of this year. The study
was undertaken to find solutions to strengthen the businesses, institutions and neighborhoods
along the corridor, to improve the driving and walking experiences along the avenue and to
enhance the physical appearance of the street. A number of goals were established at the start of
the study and were addressed in the final document. The planning commission and design review
board reviewed the final document and developed recommendations on which goals and principles
they thought would be incorporated into their work.
INFORMATION
The Design Review Board made the following recommendations:
Consider creating an overlay district which would have separate zoning regulations for
design standards, signage, etc. to create a more unified corridor.
Start small with costs of improvements paid through or by development projects.
Assessments for improvements would not likely be supported at this time.
The Planning Commission made the following recommendations;
* Encourage lighting figures that are lower and more numerous to create a more human
scale on streets and sidewalks.
* Require fences that are durable and that separate spaces and provide screening of parking
lots.
* Require perennial plantings in boulevards instead of grass.
* Use shrubs to hide parking and soften the look of parking lots and spaces between
vehicles and buildings.
* Encourage planting of street trees.
* Establish gateways with appropriate city signage at major entry points(694/ White Bear
Ave., Hwy. 36 and Gateway Trail, Larpenteur and White Bear Ave.)
* Establish a partnership with the city of St. Paul to seek grants or other funding sources for
the redevelopment of the Hillcrest area.
* Continue planning/marketing efforts for the 80 -acre property near Maplewood Mall.
- Understand that traffic issues and connection to Hwy. 61 must be addressed
prior to any development.
* Review sign ordinance and try to encourage consistency along the corridor.
* Concentrate on things that the city can do or legislate easily.
* Put together an educational piece for the Maplewood in Motion and business owners on
White Bear Avenue.
* Encourage transit friendly designs along the corridor.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the city council adopt the recommendations as prepared by the CDRB and
PC with any additions or changes you may have. These items will serve as a guideline and policy
directive in the development review process and help us plan for improvements along the
corridor

G oals and PrMcip
The White Bear Avenue Corridor Study seeks solutions that strengthen the businesses,
institutions and residential neighborhoods of the corridor, improves the driving and
walking experience along the avenue and enhances the physical appearance of the
street. A number of goals were established at the outset of the design study:
• Respond to the unique and variable qualities of the avenue
( "A walk through time... ")
• Make the street more pedestrian- friendly and "soften" the edges
Farmhouse moving from its original location Vintage architectural style typical of much

• Celebrate gateways and transitional spaces as "icons" on the avenue
• Strengthen the functional and aesthetic character of the commercial areas
and improve their relationships to residential areas and transit
• Work with Ramsey Cou nty, St. Paul and Maplewood to improve
unsafe intersections
• Provide prototypical facade studies to assist businesses with
redevelopment ideas

Defining the Character
Structure of the Street
White Bear Avenue changes dramatically in character as one travels from
g Y Interstate
94 on the south to Interstate 694 on the north. In St. Paul, the road reflects an
ealier era, when traffic was lighter, lanes were narrower and the streetcar system
was a l ive and well. The commercial nodes that are characteristic of this older
section of White Bear Avenue generally grew up around the
places where the streetcar lines intersected. The residential
community surrounded the commercial nodes, including
between modes along White Bear Avenue. There was a
comfortable relationship between the two land uses, as each
was dependent upon the other. land uses mixed, also, as
businesses and apartments typically occupied the second floor
above the retail establishments at grade. The street itself handled
far fewer vehicles each day, and speeds were typically slower.
The dismantling of the streetcar system and the incremental
increase in automobile traffic forever changed the once easy-
going ambience of the older sections of White Bear Avenue.
Traffic now moves quickly and purposefully along the corridor,
connecting to 'freeways and major east -west routes. White Bear
Avenue is a major north - south arterial road, yet it still has narrow
lanes and - residences lining it in St. Paul. It is a classic example of
how increased mobility - not with mass transit but the use of the
automobile - combined with demographic and land use
changes, can forever change the nature of a street.
White Bear Avenue through St. Paul has a largely residential
and enclosed quality to: it.
As one proceeds north, the character of the avenue respond begins to and to the
g P
impact of the automobile. The Hillcrest development, state -of- the -art in the late
1950s, faces onto wider lanes and establishes a more suburban h sical model
P Y ..
With parking lots now set in front of commercial strip centers. There p s ere is more room
for left turn lanes and land uses move further back to accommodate the increased
impact of traffic. The sidewalk lies between the street and the parking lot, often
without a landscaped buffer, creating n abysmal pedestrian '
g y p experience along the
street. The message of this environment is clear: this is a I for p ace o cars, not people
on foot.

Moving further north, into suburban Maplewood, the
character of the street changes yet again, and again it is in
response to the impact of the car. Lanes get still wider, turn
lanes are now commonplace, sidewalks come and go, and
accommodations for landscaped edges appear, in an effort
to at least partially ameliorate the effects of high traffic
volumes and greater speeds on the street. Most of the
buildings in this section of the avenue were constructed after
1980, and the sure signs of an automobile- dominated
environment are apparent: parking lots are in front, lighting
is auto - oriented, buildings are set farther back from the road
and have larger signs to be seen from a greater distance, the
number and quality of transit stops is limited, and travelling
from one commercial establishment to another almost
necessitates having a car.
The characteristics and issues at the two ends of White
Bear Avenue are, in some respects, as different as night
and day. One is a modern suburb, with a thriving
commercial district. The other is an older model, struggling
to remain competitive in a mobile society. In between, at
the line between the cities, lies the hybrid environment,
also struggling to compete, but also needing, perhaps, to
re-invent itself and discover a new identity that will work for locals and visitors alike. Without
a dobbt, businesses and residents along the avenue share one thing in common: an
automobile- dominated environment and the -wide variety of issues that comes with it.
The character of White Bear Avenue transforms into a wider, more
suburban model as it moves into Maplewood.

Connections and Linkag
White Bear Avenue is a primary north -south arterial through the east side of St. Paul
and Maplewood, linking Battle Creek Park at the south end to the City of White
'- .Bear Lake - at - the - north. The studied in this planning effort runs from 1 -94 on
- the south to 1 -694 on the north. The avenue accommodates truck traffic, buses,
and high volumes of automobile traffic. In St. Paul, the street's role as a unifying
element - a "Main Street" for adjacent and nearby neighborhoods - has evolved
over time into a barrier that divides rather than unites the bordering
_communities. In Maplewood, the road is designed for high traffic volumes, and
pedestrian use is minimal. .
The intersections with east -west thoroughfares are extremely important components
of the avenue. The interstate crossings and Highway 36 are grade- separated, and
hostile pedestrian environments. They provide, however, opportunities to create
"gateway icons," which can inform people about the presence of the avenue and
} introduce them to the character of the road and neighborhoods.
The at -grade intersections in the corridor vary in scale and type, but Ramsey County
and the St. Paul Small Area Plan is intent on improving the safety of the major

White Bear Avenue was traditionally •
y an important Main Street" for several east
side St. Paul communities. It served a number of roles -successfully,
y accommodating a
mix of land uses, and modes of transportation. The street w '
p e as an active place for
pedestrians as well. Today, those who live and work in the St. P '
Paul portion of the
corridor are interested in calming raffic and creating a mo 9 g e pedestrion and
bicycle- friend) environment. There is • • -
y a d esire to restore some of the p o s itiv e qua
that characterized the street decade '
s ago, a desire to create a .place rather than
a thoroughfare.
In Maplewood, White Bear Avenue has never had the ualities of traditional •
q a traditional main
street. Rather, it has always been as much about movement
as it has been about
creating a "place." Land uses are more consolidated and the fabric bnc of the road is
more disconnected. The scale and design of the roadway r e qu i res 9 y equ�res a different
design response, much more about the landscape andscape and much less about the more
traditional "urban" streetscape elements, such as fencing, historic '
g o is lighting, walls
and so forth. The "place" in Maplewood is linear more about mo vement o ement and the
automobile experience.
Many elements must work together to make the street safer
more comfortable and
inviting. The following elements and uidelines for their use e are recommended for
White Bear Avenue:
Lighting is one of the most important components in a successful roadway oadway corridor.
Lights provide safety and security and help efine the character

are especially important during the winter months. In the "urban"
section (St. Paul)
the light fixtures should:
• Reflect the urban, more historic character of the neig hborhood
g ood
(recommended fixture is the "St. Paul Lantern" fixture
• Relate to huma scale (lower and more numerous fixtures
• Help animate the street (visually interesting poles and optional '

Fences are common elements along the road. Fencing helps define an area and :

space. The quality of fences has a significant impact on the character of the road:
chain link is functional and affordable but too often unattractive; ornamental iron is
more expensive but more timeless and visually pleasing. Fencing on White Bear
Avenue should:
• Reflect the character of the neighborhood it is passing through
(urban vs. suburban)
• Act as a unifying element can the street (commercial and residential designs
should relate but not be identical)
• Be adaptable: fencing might sit on a wall or be free - standing

Signage is an important consideration for White Bear Avenue, especially in
commercial areas. A good sign system will contribute to the friendliness and
legibility of the community. Such a system should:
• Provide a unified framework for the sign systems of the various
commercial districts (e.g. Minnehaha and White Bear, Hillcrest District, etc.)
• Standardize and codify important features of the district systems, such as
size, setback, orientation and location of sig
• Be appropriate to the district (signs on the older buildings in St. Paul
should relate to pedestrians as well as passing motorists)
)
• Be well designed (understated): the sign system has the potential to add
character and identification to the various districts
• Pha out old signage with new property owners and developments.
• Business owners requesting public funding for improvements will be
required to comply with signage design guidelines

The Z5 Year Vision
- $cock Sr ound
White Bear Avenue is a complex street, passing throug a diverse mix of
neighborhood and land uses as it moves from 1 -94 north to 1 -694. The co mmon
- thread on the avenue is traffic - and lots of - it. Although many comment on the
.- negative impact of traffic, people who live and work in the neighborhoods _a.l_ong
the corridor have come to rely on the road as the pri north -south route that links
therm to the major crossroads. As well, traffic is an important asset to merchants
along the avenue. The avenue is used heavily by both truck traffic and transit and
the livability of the street has been slowly eroded over several decades. In
Maplewood, in contrast, the avenue successfully fulfills its role as a major arterial
route through the city serving primarily commercial uses along its edges.
T�,e Vision
The story of White Bear Avenue, is one of diversity and change. It will continue to
evolve in the future, but focused and directed change can restore and revitalize
those elements that historically made the avenue a welcoming place for those who
live and work nearby.
The vision for White Bear

In Maplewood, the
- avenue will become
much more parkway -Like,
less defined by the parking
lots and mix of land uses
(strip malls to "big -box"
retail to residential) at its
edge and more defined
by the landscape elements
and lighting that reinforce the linearity of the street itself. Boulevard trees ( in
double rows where space allows), new lighting, large masses of shrubs and P erennials
at key intersections, combined with framed views into the "natural" ockets along
g
the road will create a much more beautiful driving experience. Well designed transit
stops and an improved "hub" at Maplewood Mall will encourage use of the bus.
The sidewalks will be continuous along the avenue and well- connected back into
the adjacent neighborhoods and commercial districts.
r,
Public and private re- investment in the corridor will
bring new life to the older commercial nodes in
St. Paul, through such approaches as facade
improvements, coordinated, well designed sign systems,
lighting, paving, and shared parking strategies. In
the residential areas, the use of terraced walls, well -
detailed fences, new lighting, planted boulevards
and improved landscaping will bring a softer, more
residential quality to the street.
'' Y ' In the transitional commercial areas, such as
Hillcrest, land use changes will combine with new
signage strategies, lighting and landscaping to
create a much more intimate - and less auto - dominated
- physical environment. The car will be accommodated,
but new commercial buildings will be built closer to the street, with arkin and
P 9
other land uses, such as offices, occupying in the space behind.
Re- establishing an inviting and safe pedestrian realm, which is absent from Hillcrest
today, will transform this site into a more distinctive shopping in district.

The concept for White Bear Avenue responds to the range of personalities of
the roadway. The following elements comprise the concept plan:
The
l
k
One of three highway bridges along the cor-
ridor. i
Gateways
This study has identified several gateways, located at the south end of the
study area (at Interstate 94), the intersection with Minnesota State Highway
36, the north end (at Interstate 1 -694) and the bridge over the train tracks at
Ames Street. All gateways occur at bridges or viaducts. The bridges all have
very utilitarian designs and are lacking unique identities. All sites have
significant area available for landscape improvements.
The concept calls for re- developing the gateway bridges as major features in
the corridor. Redesigned concrete walls and piers, railings and lighting can
combine to create more meaningful, elegant and engaging pieces of public
infrastructure. In downtown St. Paul, bridges over 1 -94 were re- designed with
much more attention to detailing, giving them a more refined appearance
and a "sense of place" in the Capitol district. In Minneapolis, older freeway
bridge railings are being replaced with new railings that reflect the historic
"wave" railings found in the city. There- design of the "gateway" bridges should
recall the history of White - Bear Avenue and the neighborhoods that exist
along it. They are an excellent opportunity for the involvement of public artists
from the area, who can contribute meaningful ideas and designs to these
important public infrastructure elements.

Existing bridges are strictly utilitarian, locking
in character.
Institutional Zones
Two districts in the corridor have been identified as Institutional Zones. Th e first,
located at the intersection of White Bear Avenue and 3rd Street is actuall a :mix
of institutional and commercial uses framing the intersection. A large op en lot with
9 9 p
a h igh fence serves as a recreational area. The intersection lacks cohesiveness and
a sense of place.
__ The plan calls for strengthening the presence and visual attractiveness of this
node using double headed pedestrian scale lig fixtures the St. Paul Lantern
a block north and south of the intersection, as well as east and west for one
block - on 3rd Street. Additional streetscape elements, including segments of
fencing and landscaping will soften the parking lots at the commercial buildings.
Modifications to the high fence are also recommended. Public artists should
be engaged to participate in the design development.
The second institutional zone is located in the Hazel Park neighborhood,
including Ames School to the south and Hazel Park Junior High to the north
and includes Blessed Sacrement Church and School, and the Masonic
Temple. The railroad bridge climbs in elevation, visually and physically
separating the two areas.
The plan suggests that the entire zone should be unified, using a variety of
approaches. First and foremost, it ca for the use of the double fixture
pedestrian -scale light fixture from Ames on the south to Maryland on the north.
The bridge itself should-be perceived- as an imp ortant icon on the road a point of
p p
transition and a unifier rather than a dividi lement. The accent lighting should
g 9 9
cross the bridge, highlighting its form and celebrating ts structure. New raili
s g
and side walls could add still another level of detail and interest to the bridge.
The two schools have available land for imp roved landscap and an integ rated
p p 9 9
"artsign," which would identify the institutions in a very unique and engaging way
The landscape /sign combination could involve p ublic artists and students from the
schools.

I many respects, the commercial nodes are the most important orta nt � p v and
structural components of White Bear Avenue. As noted earlier (see Structure of the :
� Street" the character f
�, o the commercial nodes changes as one moves alon the
avenue. The small, "streetcar" districts in S#. Paul have all suffered from varying
degrees of disinvestment as larger strip malls and shop areas ha pp g e been .
developed. The larger shoppi center in the St. Paul area, at HiIlcrest, has
� become - dated and less
s able to compete as some of the important tenants have
moved on and as the newer, state -of -the -art suburban retail
areas have come

the mall and the street, typical of similar

Gateway Trail, also known as the Willard Mung '

legislator who saw the potential for converting

into a regional recreational trail. Munger work •

Historic Districts
White Bear Avenue connects man neig hborhoods Y g ods as It moves through
Maplewood and St. Paul. As mentioned earlier tra velling avell�ng north from 0 - is
an experience of moving through time. There are man ' along the
Avenue that should be , preserved and hig •
Among these jewels Is the
Hazel Park Neighborhood.
The Hazel Park Neighborhood was an orig inal •
commuter rail suburb, named
for the wild hazel bushes that rew in the area. •
g ea. The district Is home to buildings
such as Ames School, the former Hazel Park commercial clal club, presently home
to the Camel Club, and many traditional turn of the

the Schneider house. The Schneider house is listed on the National Register
of Historic Places.
As part of the White Bear Avenue imp rovements. , th •

In a special way. Banners could be used to ide he area. a. Small hanging
signs could - be designed to attach to the street
signs in the area, Identifying
it as a district. Also, as open lots occur a lon

planted into gardens, and the hazel bush could

a district -wide landscaping theme.
There have been historical accounts about the

Redevelop Study Areas
Two Large sites were studied in greater detail as part of this
project. Both are located in Maplewood, but one, the Builder's
Square site, is located on the border with St. Paul, and is
arguably a part of the Hillcrest commercial node.
The site once housed a Builder's Square store in a very large
building with an equally large parking lot. The building
appears completely incompatible with the adjacent community
just to the east especially because the service side of the building
faced the neighborhood. Ironically, residents actually appreciate
flow the structure reduced the impact of White Bear Avenue
and its commercial establishments on their neighborhood.
The long range recommendation for the site suggests that
No rth Saint Paul Road would be diverted along Ripley,
eli minating the angled intersection with White bear Avenue
and creating more developable blocks north of La rpenteu r.
These more developable blocks would contain commercial
that is oriented towards White Bear Avenue. The former
Builders Square building is slated for re -use as a church with
_._ possible accessory community uses including children's day
care- and classrooms. Other possible uses include a - book-
store or small cafe owned by the church.
Over time, the commercial areas currently existing along
White Bear Avenue and North St. Paul Road are redeveloped
to focus on the avenue. This creates a contiguous corridor of
commercial use that works together from the Hillcrest
Shopping Center, to the newly developed commercial north of
Larpenteur. The commercial and residential uses along
--- ---- Larpenteur Avenue, east at White Bear Avenue mirror each
- - other - block by block This knits these two districts together,
creating a more understandable neighborhood that supports
commu living.

Recommendations
Visitors to White Bear Avenue are bombarded by a cacophony of signs. With their
dissonant colors, shapes, heights, and lettering, the avenue's signs lose their
readability and function. Business owners and residential neighbors alike have
concluded sign guidelines are necessary to improve the avenue's character and the
unique spatial and architectural conditions of its commercial districts.
A good sign system will contribute to the friendliness and legibility of the community.
Kroger Foods, sign incorporated into
Such a system should: building
Provide a unified framework for sign systems of the various commercial districts
(e.g. Minnehaha and White Bear, Hillcrest District, etc.);
• Standardize and codify important features of the district systems, such as size,
setback, orientation and location of signs;
• Be appropriate to the district (signs on the older buildings in St. Paul should .
relate to pedestrians as well as passing motorists };

The architectural evolution of White Bear Avenue has closely followed the changes
in commercial activity and transportation during the twentieth century. White Bear
Avenue showcases everyday examples of the building forms and styles indicative of
this evolution and offers a linear tour of this evolution in popular culture. The five
facade studies focus on existing buildings representative of these changes and are
examples of recommendations - develo ed for the renovation of existing buildings 951 White Bear Avenue presently

At the turn of the century, commercial establishments served the immediate
residential neighborhood and clustered around street intersections convenient to
streetcar stops and other generators of neighborhood activity, such as churches
and schools. These commercial intersections were focal points of daily life for their
Existing convenience store.
neiahborhoods. Sonny Heck s store at the corner of Case Avenue was a
commonplace building constructed in the early twentieth century as a dry.
goods store with an upstairs meeting room, where - for a period of time -
church services were held. The original facade has been greatly altered
and a one story wing was added along the White Bear Avenue front in
e
v
the 1950s. The building is currently used as a convenience store with apart-
ments on the second floor; its original features are obscured by signs and
by alterations. The proposed renovation returns the building and its addition
I
to their original character. Inspired by an early photograph of the building,
the turn -of -the- century building would have new windows and storefront
designs and would be re -sided with clapboard siding and tnmboards in
keeping with 'its original character . The 1950s addition is shown with
-----clerestory windows to flood the interior with natural light and a new, more
welcoming entry. While the two buidings have little in common, they can
comfortably co- exist, if the renovation sets up a sensitive relationship
i - between their proportions, lines, materials, and colors.

By the middle of the century, the automobile had become "king of the
roadil and White Bear Avenue responded with auto - oriented businesses.
Possibly the most memorable of these is Jerry's Drive -In, which has
operated south of Larpenter Avenue since the late 1940s. Originally

Maplewood Mall, Hillcrest could no longer compete for major
retailers. Although, in recent years, it has undergone a cosmetic
facelift to reposition it in the retail market, Hillcrest cannot be successful
without major surgery. Hillcrest is composed of large, deep lease -
holds, which are neither expansive enough for contemporary "big
box" national retailers nor small enough for intimate, locally -owned
shops. The study looks at short and long term redevelopment options
for Hillcrest. The short -term redesign of Hillcrest proposes selectively
demolishing portions of the shopping center to create retail
courtyards surrounded by shallow leasehold spaces with greater
exterior surface for display and visibility. Th short -term approach
would also allow for the re -use of the east side of the shopping
center buildings for additional retail space or for office uses. Three
retai courtyards are proposed with signs at White Beare Avenue
identifying the shops surrounding each courtyard and pedestrian
ways leading from the avenue through the parking lots and courtyards
to a g reenway connecting into the neighborhoods along Gary Place� _. --
The character of the redesigned shopping center would be intimate
and carefully landscaped to enhance the shoppers' experience as
they move from the parking areas through the varied shopping
courts. The storefronts around the courtyard should be highly
articulated and create an environment that draws shoppers to explore.
