12. Transportation Alliance Resolution
Adopted the following resolution supporting transportation revenues for public
transit assistance and highway purposes:
RESOLUTION 06 -02 -026
Whereas, Minnesota's transportation infrastructure forms the backbone of the
state's economy and has a direct impact on future economic development;
Whereas, too many Minnesotans are being killed in traffic crashes on dangerous
roadways;
Whereas, funding for highway and transit systems in Minnesota has remained
stagnant and is failing to keep pace with growing population and growing demands;
Whereas, local governments throughout the state are struggling to maintain local
rtation systems while the state's gas tax has not been increased since 1988 and
)udgets have been cut in recent years;
Whereas, the Minnesota Legislature has repeatedly turned to revenue from the
motor vehicle sales tax, which has been viewed as user fee revenue, in order to fund
both highway and transit systems including the current dedication of 54% of motor
vehicle sales tax for transportation purposes;
Whereas, the legislature passed a proposed constitutional amendment during the
2005 Legislative Session that would appear on the ballot November 7, 2006 asking
voters if the remaining 46% of motor vehicle sales tax revenue currently used for other
purposes should be used for highways and transit systems;
Whereas, passage of this amendment would mean an increase in stable revenue
for highway and transit systems throughout the state that would rise to approximately
$300 million per year once the transfer of revenue is fully phased -in by 2011;
City Council Meeting 02 -27 -06
NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Resolved That the City of Maplewood strongly
supports passage of the proposed amendment to the Minnesota Constitution dedicating
all of the motor vehicle sales tax revenue to transportation with at least 40% of the
revenue for public transit assistance and not more than 60% of the revenue for highway
purposes.

after August 1, 2017. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option of the
City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity are

prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest: in such maturity to
be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in
such maturity to be redeemed. All prepayments shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
SECURITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and
credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition the City will pledge special
assessments against benefited properties. The proceeds will be used to finance various
improvement projects within the City.
TYPE OF PROPOSALS
Proposals shall be for not less than $6,008,938 and accrued interest on the total principal
amount of the Bonds. Proposals shall be accompanied by a Good Faith Deposit ( "Deposit ") in
the form of a certified or cashier's check or a Financial Surety Bond in the amount of $60,850,
payable to the order of the City. If a check is used, it must accompany the proposal. If a
Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a
bond in the State of Minnesota, and preapproved by the City. Such bond must be submitted to
Springsted Incorporated prior to the opening of the proposals. The Financial Surety Bond must
identify each underwriter whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the
Bonds are awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then that purchaser is
required to submit its Deposit to Springsted Incorporated in the form of a certified or cashier's
check or wire transfer as instructed by Springsted Incorporated not later than 3:30 P.M., Central
Time, on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that
time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement.
The Deposit received from the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at settlement
and no interest will accrue to the purchaser, will be deposited by the City. In the event the
purchaser fails to comply with the accepted proposal, said amount will be retained by the City.
No proposal can be withdrawn or amended after the time set for receiving proposals unless the
meeting of the City scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to
another date without award of the Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples
of 51100 or 118 of 1 %. Rates must be in level or ascending order. Bonds of the same maturity
shall bear a single rate from the date of the Bonds to the date of maturity. No conditional
proposals will be accepted.
The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true
interest cost (TIC) basis. The City's computation of the interest rate of each proposal, in
accordance with customary practice, will be controlling.
City Council Meeting 02 -27 -06 11
The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non - substantive informalities of any proposal or of
matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals
without cause, and (iii) reject any proposal that the City determines to have failed to comply with
the terms herein.
BOND INSURANCE AT PURCHASER'S OPTION
If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of municipal bond insurance or commitment
therefor at the option of the underwriter, the purchase of any such insurance policy or the
issuance of any such commitment shall be at the sole option and expense of the purchaser of
the Bonds. Any increased costs of issuance of the Bonds resulting from such purchase of
insurance shall be paid by the purchaser, except that, if the City has requested and received a
rating on the Bonds from a rating agency, the City will pay that rating fee. Any other rating
agency fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Failure of the municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after Bonds have been awarded to the
purchaser shall not constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery on
the Bonds.
CUSIP NUMBERS
If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the
Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect
thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the
Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers
shall be paid by the purchaser.
SETTLEMENT
Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the

litigation certificate. On the date of settlement, payment for the Bonds shall be made in federal,
or equivalent, funds that shall be received at the offices of the City or its designee not later than
12:00 Noon, Central Time. Unless compliance with the terms of payment for the Bonds has
been made impossible by action of the City, or its agents, the purchaser shall be liable to the
City for any loss suffered by the City by reason of the purchaser's non - compliance with said
terms for payment.
On the date of actual issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the City will execute and deliver a
Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the "Undertaking ") whereunder the City will covenant for the
benefit of the owners of the Bonds to provide certain financial and other information about the
City and notices of certain occurrences to information repositories as specified in and required
by SEC Rule 15c2- 12(b)(5).
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The City has authorized the preparation of an Official Statement containing pertinent information
relative to the Bonds, and said Official Statement will serve as a nearly final Official Statement
within the meaning of Rule 15c2 -12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. For copies of
the Official Statement or for any additional information prior to sale, any prospective purchaser
City Council Meeting 02 -27 -06 12
is referred to the Financial Advisor to the City, Springsted Incorporated, 380 Jackson Street,

The Official Statement, when further supplemented by an addendum or addenda specifying the
maturity dates, principal amounts and interest rates of the Bonds, together with any other
information required by law, shall constitute a "Final Official Statement" of the City with respect
to the Bonds, as that term is defined in Rule 15c2 -12. By awarding the Bonds to any
underwriter or underwriting syndicate submitting a proposal therefor, the City agrees that, no
more than seven business days after the date of such award, it shall provide without cost to the
senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded 85 copies of the
Official Statement and the addendum or addenda described above. The City designates the
senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded as its agent for
purposes of distributing copies of the Final Official Statement to each Participating Underwriter.
Any underwriter delivering a proposal with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its
proposal is accepted by the City (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a
contractual relationship with all Participating Underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring
the receipt by each such Participating Underwriter of the Final Official Statement.

Certificate, representing the aggregate principal amount of the Certificates maturing in each
year, will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust
Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, which will act as securities depository of the
Certificates. Individual purchases of the Certificates may be made in the principal amount of
$5,000 or any multiple thereof of a single maturity through book entries made on the books and
records of DTC and its participants. Principal and interest are payable by the registrar to DTC
or its nominee as registered owner of the Certificates. Transfer of principal and interest

interest payments to beneficial owners by participants will be the responsibility of such

of the Certificates, will be required to deposit the Certificates with DTC.
REGISTRAR
The City will name the registrar, which shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. The City
will pay for the services of the registrar.
The Certificates will not be subject to payment in advance of their respective stated maturity
dates. SECURITY AND PURPOSE
The Certificates will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith
and credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. The proceeds will be used to
finance the acquisition of equipment for the City's police and fire departments.
TYPE OF PROPOSALS
Proposals shall be for not less than $285,070 and accrued interest on the total principal amount
of the Certificates. Proposals shall be accompanied by a Good Faith Deposit ( "Deposit ") in the
form of a certified or cashier's check or a Financial Surety Bond in the amount of $2,900,
payable to the order of the City. If a check is used, it must accompany the proposal. If a
Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a
bond in the State of Minnesota, and preapproved by the City. Such bond must be submitted to
City Council Meeting 02 -27 -06 15
Springsted Incorporated prior to the opening of the proposals. The Financial Surety Bond must
identify each underwriter whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the
Certificates are awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then that purchaser is
required to submit its Deposit to Springsted Incorporated in the form of a certified or cashier's
check or wire transfer as instructed by Springsted Incorporated not later than 3 :30 P.M., Central
Time, on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that
time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement.
The Deposit received from the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at settlement
and no interest will accrue to the purchaser, will be deposited by the City. In the event the
purchaser fails to comply with the accepted proposal, said amount will be retained by the City.
No proposal can be withdrawn or amended after the time set for receiving proposals unless the
meeting of the City scheduled for award of the Certificates is adjourned, recessed, or continued
to another date without award of the Certificates having been made. Rates shall be in integral
multiples of 5/100 or 1/8 of 1 %. Rates must be in level or ascending order. Certificates of the
same maturity shall bear a single rate from the date of the Certificates to the date of maturity.
No conditional proposals will be accepted.
AWARD
The Certificates will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a
true interest cost (TIC) basis. The City's computation of the interest rate of each proposal, in
accordance with customary practice, will be controlling.
The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non- substantive informalities of any proposal or of
matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Certificates, (ii) reject all proposals
without cause, and (iii) reject any proposal that the City determines to have failed to comply with
the terms herein.
'Oh• - - -
If the Certificates qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the
Certificates, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Certificate nor any error with
respect thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of
the Certificates. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification
numbers shall be paid by the purchaser.
SETTLEMENT
Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Certificates will be delivered without cost to
the purchaser through DTC in New York, New York. Delivery will be subject to receipt by the
purchaser of an approving legal opinion of Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, of

litigation certificate. On the date of settlement, payment for the Certificates shall be made in
federal, or equivalent,' funds that shall be received at the offices of the City or its designee not
later than 12:00 Noon, Central Time. Unless compliance with the terms of payment for the

be liable to the City for any loss suffered by the City by reason of the purchaser's non-
compliance with said terms for payment.

a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the "Undertaking ") whereunder the City will covenant for
the benefit of the owners of the Certificates to provide certain financial and other information

Agenda Item H2
TO: City Manager
FROM: Steve Lukin, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Medical Mutual Aid Agreement Between the City of Maplewood,
the City of North St. Paul Fire and Lakeview Emergency Medical Services
DATE: March 2, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The Maplewood Fire Department is a member of the Capitol City Mutual Aid Association. This Association
was developed to provide mutual aid of either fire or EMS to other communities who desire to be members.
The city of North St. Paul Fire used to provide its own EMS to the citizens of their community. Years ago,
they decided to abandon the delivery of EMS by their own personnel and to contract with Lakeview
Emergency Medical Services as their ambulance provider. Lakeview Ambulance and the city of North St.
Paul approached us asking if we would be interested in providing backup EMS services to the city of North
St. Paul. In the past two years, we have provided EMS assistance to North St. Paul less than six times and
felt this would provide very little strain on our current EMS system. This agreement also provides
Maplewood an opportunity for additional backup. The contract contains a provision stating that the city of
Maplewood will not respond to calls in the city of North St. Paul if adequate EMS personnel are not
available to respond to the calls in the city of Maplewood.
Because Lakeview Ambulance is a private company, it was decided it would be in the best interest of all
parties to have a contract for providing EMS services specifically with them and the city of North St. Paul.
Currently, the city of Maplewood can also ask for assistance from any of our surrounding neighbors who
provide EMS services under the mutual aid agreement.
This contract was developed by Lakeview Ambulance and the Maplewood City Attorney to assure that all
parties' needs were addressed. Protocols have been put into place and will be reviewed and changes
made as deemed necessary. If for any reason we are unable to provide medical services to North St. Paul,
their backup is Oakdale Fire.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the city council adopt the Mutual Medical Services Mutual Aid Agreement
between the city of Maplewood, the city of North St. Paul and Lakeview Emergency Medical
Services.

DuWayne Konewko, Environmental Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Spring Clean -Up Event Scheduled for April 29, 2006
DATE: March 3, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The 2006 spring clean -up event has been scheduled for April 29, at Aldrich Arena at 1850 White Bear
Avenue from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. I am recommending that the fees remain the same as those used at the 2005
spring and fall clean -up events. The City is targeting collecting 25 to 35% of disposal costs (a 65 to 75%
subsidy rate) with these fees.
Maplewood's spring clean -up event is being scheduled at the same time as Ramsey County's Household
Hazardous Waste collection program. Hazardous waste, including oil, antifreeze, paint and other
hazardous waste items, will be accepted free of charge. The Household Hazardous Waste collection
program will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Combining these two services will offer residents the opportunity to
participate in both events without making additional trips for disposal. Staff will evaluate the results of the
spring clean -up event and present findings to the City Council.

DISCUSSION
2405 Actions /Activities
In 2005, the CDRB reviewed 14 new commercial developments which added a total of 392,739
square feet of new commercial space to the city; 2 commercial expansion /remodels which added a
total of 34,064 square feet of new commercial expansion space to the city; and 5 new multi- family
developments which added a total of 177 new residential units to the city. The CDRB has
consistently demonstrated keen interest and skill in their reviews of these development projects to
ensure they are of the quality of design and materials that complement the surrounding areas and
improves a site's aesthetics.
The city has become more and more developed in the last ten years, with very little vacant land
available for new developments. Because of this city staff has processed many of the city's
remodels and additions as 15 -day reviews, as allowed by code, rather than the more formal review
by the CDRB. Also because of the developed nature of the city, many of the new commercial and
residential developments reviewed by the CDRB are either redevelopment of existing buildings or
in -fill development. The CDRB will continue to be a vital advisory board to the city council in the
future, particularly with more redevelopment and in -fill development projects on the horizon.
Maplewood's current sign code was adopted in 1977, with minor revisions made in 1996. The sign
code is outdated and allows for excessive signage within the commercial and industrial zoning
districts. The CDRB recommended in their 2002, 2003, and 2004 annual reports that the city's
sign code be reviewed for potential modifications and updates. During 2004 and 2005 the CDRB
undertook the difficult task of debating and creating a draft sign code. The CDRB will complete
their work on this draft code in early 2006, with review by the city council in mid 2006. The CDRB
is committed to creating a new sign code for the city which is updated, fair, and comprehensive.
2006 Recommendations /Areas of Interest
• The CDRB will work with staff on recommended site and design criteria for the city's
proposed Gladstone neighborhood redevelopment area.
• The CDRB looks forward to reviewing future development plans for Legacy Village.
• The CDRB is interested in gaining a better understanding of sustainable building design
concepts. The board hopes to support the implementation of these concepts for projects
that are reviewed and approved by the city.
• The CDRB is interested in exploring specific design standards for new commercial and
multi - family developments.
• The CDRB is interested in reviewing and updating the city's landscape requirements for
commercial and multi - family developments.
• The CDRB is interested in reviewing and updating the city's on -site parking requirements.
CONCLUSION
In 2006, the CDRB will continue its dedication to the quality design of buildings and developments,
ensuring a high quality of life for the citizens of Maplewood.

Auto Sales and Leasing.
On June 24, 2002, the city council reviewed and renewed the CUP for used motor vehicle sales.
On November 24, 2003, the city council approved an amendment for the expansion of University
Auto's used motor vehicle sales, approved a new CUP for motor vehicle repair, and design

MEMORANDUM
TO: Richard Fursman, City Manager
FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: March 6, 2006 for the March 13 City Council Meeting
SUBJECT: Regular Part -Time Employees
INTRODUCTION
Agenda Item H7
The City of Maplewood constructed and managed two community gyms at Edgerton and Carver schools
for the past nine years. It is our department's responsibility to schedule and supervise these community
gyms after school, Monday through Friday, and throughout the weekend and summer months. Our
department has provided a variety of supervisory levels at the gyms ranging from a full -time gym
coordinator during the earlier years to operating the facilities with casual part -time employees during the
past eight years.
With our department's recent restructuring it has become apparent that casual part -time employees (who
cannot work more than 14 hours weekly) do not provide the level of onsite supervision that is necessary.
It is our recommendation that two regular part -time employee positions be created that would provide
greater continuity for monitoring the operations of Edgerton and Carver community gyms.
The city's current personnel policy provides for several categories of employment. Each category has
specific requirements, compensation and benefits associated with it. The parks and recreation
department has upwards of 200 -300 casual part -time and temporary/seasonal employees who serve in a
variety of positions ranging from umpires to swimming instructors.
BACKGROUND
Over 90 percent of our staff are casual part -time employees who cannot work more than 14 hours per
week. When I restructured the department two months ago, additional duties were assigned to each of
the recreation supervisors. It has become clear that we need more continuity at Edgerton and Carver.
These two regular part -time positions would report to the recreation program supervisor who is
responsible for Carver and Edgerton.
Staff requests that two regular part -time positions be established, which require city council approval.
The difference between casual part -time employees and regular part -time employees is that regular part
time employees can work up to 32 hours weekly and they receive pro -rated annual leave, holidays,
deferred compensation and long -term disability coverage. The two positions will allow us to operate the
community gyms more efficiently and make better use of existing staff.
There will be an increased cost that is approximately 20 percent or an estimate of $4,000 annually. The
two positions will be paid from the recreation program fund and will decrease the need for casual part -
time employees.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the city council approve the creation of two regular part -time community gym
representative positions to assist with day -to -day operation of the Edgerton and Carver community gyms.

Agenda Item 11
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Richard Fursman, City Manager
FROM: Charles Ahl, Public Works Director /City Engineer
SUBJECT: Public Hearing — 7:00 pm
TH 5 and TH 120 Vacant MnDOT Property, City Project 03-20- -
Review Marsh 212 and Hill- Murray Concept Plans
DATE: March 6, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The excess right of way on the western side of TH 120 at the intersection with TH 5 has been under
discussion for six years regarding the possibility of relocating the ISD #622 bus maintenance facility from
downtown North St. Paul to this site. In the past year, Hill- Murray School has also expressed an interest in
the property for expansion of their campus and athletic fields. An environmental group, represented by
Ron Cockreil (called Marsh 212), has also expressed interest /concern with site proposals. In July 2005
each of these groups made a presentation to the City Council on their proposal. On January 23, 2006, the
City Council heard a presentation from ISD #622 on the bus garage proposal. A public hearing has been
called to receive local input on the Marsh 212 and Hill- Murray Concept Plans.
Background
The City Council considered this item on January 23, 2006, when the bus garage proposal was presented.
The Council requested a presentation from Marsh 212 and Hill- Murray before making a final
determination. Marsh 212 and Hill- Murray have submitted complementary information, copies of which are
attached.
Mr. Ron Cockreil, representing Marsh 212 has requested to present first.
Mr. Joe Peschges, representing Hill- Murray, will coordinate the Hill- Murray presentation
Review Comments
The review of the two proposals uses the same criteria for wetland protection, environmental
enhancement, wetland restoration and overall neighborhood impact as applied to the bus garage proposal,
which was recommended for denial by the staff. The Marsh 212 proposal, which has been revised to The
Marshlands: A Cooperative Initiative for Connecting Communities, does not have any specific information
for review. The Hill- Murray and Marsh 212 proposals appear to be attempting to reach similar
environmental goals.
The Hill- Murray proposal, while still a concept, provides a much better approach to the environmental
features of the site. They have acknowledged that a wetland complex exists on the site and a "sequencing
process" is required prior to any site alteration. This conflicts with the bus garage proposal which indicated
that four agencies had approved their environmental wetland planning (see attached letters and a -mails
from MPCA, Corp of Engineers, Ramsey Washington Watershed District and Ramsey County Soil and
Water Conservation District expressing concern with bus garage representative comments). This proposal
also provides for the 100 -foot wetland buffer required by Maplewood ordinance, which was not
accommodated on the bus garage proposal. The site concept also identifies significant environmental
wetland treatment facilities that will help the City meet our storm water permit requirements.
Agenda Item 11
Review Comments (continued)
The largest negative to the Hill- Murray concept is that it is still a concept. The bus garage proposal is a
plan that has the support of MnDOT, the land owner, and ISD #622 is prepared to proceed to construction,
possibly as early as the fall of 2006. The Hill- Murray plan does not provide for MnDOT's continued
operation on the site, which MnDOT indicates is a major concern to them. Significant cooperative effort will
be needed to make the Hill - Murray /The Marshlands proposal a reality. The overall concept is
environmentally sound; however, the Council will need to determine if this is a priority site and if they wish
to invest staff time and effort into making this into a viable project. For the staff perspective, this is a
doable proposal, but requires Council endorsement and direction for the concept to be implemented.
Discussion
Both the bus garage and the Hill- Murray/The Marshlands proposal need a decision from the City Council.
Neither ISD #622 nor Hill - Murray /Marsh 212 wishes to expend further planning dollars without direction
from the City as to the overall proposed use for the City. MnDOT is willing to work with either entity, but
has made a commitment to ISD #622 to explore their use because they were the first to work on this site.
Public sentiment appears to be fairly strong in support of the Hill- Murray proposal and in opposition to the
bus garage facility. Council direction on additional information needed to make a decision is requested.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council conduct the public hearing at 7:00 p.m. on the TH 5 and TH 120
excess MnDOT property to review concepts from Marsh 212 and Hill- Murray for use of the property.

Mr. Charles Ahl, Director of Public Works, City Engineer
City of Maplewood Department of Public Works
1902 County Road B East
Maplewood, MN 55109
Dear Chuck;
I look forward to the opportunity to present the considerations on protecting the environmental
features of the MnDot property at the Public Hearing scheduled for 7:00pm on Monday March 13, 2006.
The original Marsh 212 project title has been revised to The Marshlands: A Cooperative Initiative for
Connecting Communities.
The reason for the name change is to recognize the larger group of entities interested in this proposed
project. The Marshland Project will not only recognize the environment features in the area, it will actively
protect, enhance and display those features to the public. Many believe this plan, represents the highest and
best use of the property. It also recognizes that past activities must be corrected and activities currently
conducted on the property must be moved to a new, suitable location. Not only have the citizens of
Maplewood set standards of land preservation, the federal and state standards also apply at this location.
Allowing the current activities to continue violates the environmental usage and preservation standards. Not
to mention that "best practices standards" are not currently being adhered to. The Marshlands Project will
provide high value educational, environmental and recreational opportunities through cooperative financial
investment of public and private dollars. The Marshlands Project motto is "Connecting Communities ".
Some of these communities consist of environmental, educational recreational, and civic.
The environmental community represents the protection of the ground water and the control of storm
water and managing the retention of run-off. The mitigation and recovery of lost wetlands is also important
to ground water and storm water management. It is important to note that Ramsey County has lost more
than 80% of its wetlands. The Marshlands Project will provide educational opportunities in the great
outdoors. An outdoor classroom will be developed as well as unlimited opportunities for field experiences,
providing hands -on mud in your toes learning experiences. The recreational communities will benefit
greatly by the connection to existing trails in the cities of Oakdale, Maplewood and North St. Paul. The
creation of this city owned park will allow for access to the diverse, high quality wetlands, old - growth oak
forest, connecting trail system and athletic fields. It is anticipated that 90% of this park will be green space.
The remaining 10% will be a road way and parking lot providing access to this amenity with future
connections to Larpenteur Avenue. Our civic communities of city, school, business and counties will all
recognize and benefit from this proposal.
The Marshlands Project will be presented in full detail at the Public Hearing. We will be prepared to
answer questions from the City Counsel members and citizens from the audience.
Sincerely,
Ron Cockriel

THE MARSHLANDS
A COOPERA TI VE INITIA TI VE FOR CONNECTING COMMUNI TIES
Introduction
The following pages contain a proposal for the development of the MnDot property located in Maplewood,
MN at Highway 5 and Century Avenue. This proposal is presented to the City of Maplewood as a
community wide initiative, one that has the support of a number of public and nonpublic entities in this
geographic area. It is not a proposal that comes just from Hill- Murray School. Hill- Murray School has
served to facilitate numerous meetings and conversations with individuals and public and private
agencies /entities over the past several months related to the development of this proposal. Hill- Murray also
responded to the Maplewood City Council's wishes by commissioning studies to be done related to the
protection and enhancement of the wetlands as they would relate to this proposal. The end result of the
conversations, studies and meetings is presented to you in the following pages. It is our hope that the
Maplewood City Council members will look favorably on this proposal, and give its approval.
Agencies /Entities involved in discussions over the past several months:
Minnesota Department of Transportation

Agenda Item 11
Proposal for Use of MnDot Land
Hill - Murray School
I. Background
On July 11, 2005, Hill- Murray School presented a conceptual proposal to the Maplewood City Council for
the development of land contiguous to the property that Hill- Murray currently occupies. The approximate
20 acres is owned by MnDot.
The 20 acres, as well as the current Hill- Murray campus, border a significant amount of area (39 acres)
owned by Ramsey County Parks and Recreation. A major portion of this acreage is designated as wetlands.
Key provisions of the Hill- Murray proposal include:
The proposal outlines an environmentally -sound plan that incorporates an environmental education
park with surrounding athletic fields. The proposal includes outdoor classrooms and walking trails
as well as rain gardens, holding ponds, and native vegetation to protect and improve the wetlands.
The plan connects new trails with existing hiking trails in the current park system.
The park could be open for use by the public and the athletic fields could be shared with the City of
Oakdale, the Oakdale Athletics Association, and the St. Paul East Side Soccer Club (all who have
expressed interest in sharing in the development); the City of Maplewood; and other interested
communities.
II. Results of July II Council Meeting
The Maplewood City Council's response to the Hill- Murray proposal included a request that the school
provide greater detail about the environmental impact of the plan and in particular, more specificity about
how the Hill- Murray plan will protect and improve the surrounding wetland areas.
III. Actions taken by Hill- Murray in response to Maplewood City Council
Contracted with Rafferty, Rafferty, Tollefson to complete a site plan considering the concerns of the
Maplewood City Council, and other government entities concerned with environmental requisites.

Agenda Item 11
Chuck Ahl, Director of Public Works, City Engineer
City of Maplewood Department of Public Works
1902 County Road B East
Maplewood MN 55109
March 3, 2006
Dear Mr. Ahl:
The Sierra Club North Star Chapter, representing 153 members in the City of
Maplewood, and over 12,000 members across the metro area, is writing to you to endorse
a plan set forth by Maplewood resident Ron Cockriel concerning the Hill Murray Master
Plan. This northern Ramsey County parcel is bordered by Holloway Avenue, Century
Avenue North and Larpenteur Avenue East. The master plan articulates a new park called
"The Marshlands" for the City of Maplewood and offers the school(s) and surrounding
communities several options for athletic playing fields and environmental and education
activities.
What we find admirable about the Marshlands Master Plan is that each of the
organizations involved in the site have a rare opportunity to share and enhance an
important and largely overlooked parcel of land. As the metropolitan region struggles to
embrace an expected one million residents by 2030, according to Metropolitan Council
estimates, the time to plan for and embrace open space is now. Maplewood, Oakdale and
North St. Paul have been adding new residents and will continue to in the coming years,
perhaps at a vastly escalated pace.
By preserving part of this parcel for parkland and wetland improvements, the county and
organizations participating will share the kind of farsighted wisdom shown by past
community leaders who created a nationally acclaimed network of parks and trails in
Ramsey and Hennepin counties. We endorse the following suggestions made by Ron
Cockriel and his team of activists, architects, education and religious leaders:
• Creation of 33.5 acres for a new city park bordering Holloway and Century avenues.
• Improvements to the proposed parkland, including reconstruction and creation of
wetlands to mitigate the loss of wetlands in a 20 -acre Minnesota Department of
Transportation -owned parcel east of Century Avenue North.
* Creation of a 20 -acre area on the MN -DOT site (now used to dump road waste) for use
as athletic fields by the surrounding communities. The city of Maplewood would own the
property.

Agenda Item 11
* An exchange of 4.5 acres of Ramsey County land on Sterling Street North for 4.5 acres
of Hill- Murray property north of the school that could be added to the proposed parkland.
• Construction of a new road to Larpenteur Avenue.
• Construction of new trails to tie into existing Ramsey and Washington county trail
systems.
* Creation of an outdoor environmental classroom on the site near the Marsh and open
spaces.
Ron Cockriel has been a Sierra Club member for several years. He brought this issue to
the attention of our committee two years ago (and later formerly joined it). With Ron's
input, we developed our highly successful "Tour de Sprawl 2004" around land use issues
in northern Ramsey County and Lake Elmo. The 22 -mile bicycle ride attracted more than
180 riders in September of 2004 and included a stop at the Mn -DOT site noted above.
Ron has been a ceaseless advocate for a sensible solution for this site, presenting a more
collaborative vision of its future at meetings of the Maplewood City Council several
times. He has held, on his own and with the help of the Sierra Club, several community
discussions focusing on the future of the property.
By all accounts, most citizens prefer a solution offering a park and athletic fields rather
one featuring a bus garage. Ron has identified other more environmentally sound and
economically feasible sites for the proposed bus garage that would raise fewer objections
from citizens in Maplewood, Oakdale and North St. Paul.
It is rare to encounter a citizen activist who offers not just criticism but solutions to
communities struggling to provide open space for their residents while weighing the
benefits of development. We believe the proposal Ron has crafted with plenty of
community input from dozens of experts, citizens and stakeholders — offers an
opportunity for the interested parties to create a model of land use planning that will
benefit future generations.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Dear Chuck Ahl,
I will not be able to attend the March 13th Public Meeting in re: Vacant MnDOT
Property at TH 5 and TH 120 - City File No. 03 -20.
Just wanted to let you know that I am in favor or the plan proposed by Ron Cockriel. I
would like to see this area preserved and also for Hill Murray to get part of it for parking
and an athletic field.
This is a much better plan than having a School Bus Garage on that property.
Bus Garages should not be in close proximity of residences.

Subject: Vacant MnDot property
Dear Mr. Ahl:
We have been following the proposals for the MnDOT property alongside Century
Avenue and would like to thank you for your clear and forceful presentation at the last
Council meeting.
We are unable to attend the hearing on March 13, 2006, and are writing instead to voice
support for the Hill - Murray proposal for parking and athletic fields.
We live one block south of the Hill- Murray site and find the school to be a good neighbor
and a positive element of the Maplewood community. We were delighted a while back
when we learned that they had decided to stay at their present location even though they
are in need of some more space.
If approved, their current proposal will relieve the onstreet parking which now occurs
along Larpenteur, creating a safer and less restricted pathway there.
In addition, the athletic fields they envision will benefit kids from Maplewood as well as
Oakdale and other neighboring communities.
These proposed improvements are long overdue for this idle area and will enrich the
reputation that Maplewood earns as host to an exceptional academic institution.
Please pass on to the Council our strong support for the Hill- Murray development
proposal.

Pe: Status of Wetland Delineatinn for the Proposed ISD 622 Bus Facility
Dear Mr. Ahl,
The ISD 622 Bus Facility wetland delineation and all proposed elements have been
coordinated with the Rarnse NV #ashington County Watershed District over the past
years. The results have been reviewed with Toni Peterson with the Ramsey Count
VVCD Office, Mar . ernes with the �1NtPCA, and Torn Fell with the C orp of E ngineers.
The DNP are not involved because there are no protected eaters.
The coordination started with a de Of existing wetlands and compared them
with aerial l OtOgr r`i i for v r 1;� 0 and l i witch `1 .i . ii ed i ^ v idea st eAsting
wetlands before MN/DOT graded the site. We reviewed this with Curt Ekinger and staff
Of the Rarnsey -luAlashington Metro Watershed District to determine which wetlands were
natural and which were created. The wetland boundaries from the 1957 aerial
photograph were overlaid on those wetlands created by grading the interchange t
determine the wetland that are protected by state and federal law. Those wetlands not
overlapped by the 4 1957 map are not considered natural wetlands that need t0 be
mitigated by state or federal lay,
The Bus Facility was located on the northeast corner of the site to minimize its impact to
the wetlands. The total impact to protected wetlands for the Bus Facility is ,22 acres of
protected wetlands. Mitigations of .50 acres of the same type wetland will de within the
same drainac e district on land the ISD 622 currently €errs.
The only agencies that have wetland permit approval authority are the
Parise / `ount � Watershed District and the COr s of Engineers Offices,
both offices have given preliminary approval of the wetland delineation procedures Used
in the evaluation f f e p ro p o s ed site.

St. Paul, Minnesota 55110 -5196
Dear Mr. Kovach:
This is in response to the wetland delineation report you submitted for the Hill Murray
School/MnDOT site, just west of Trunk Highway 120. The project site is located in the SE /4 of
Section 13, T29N, R22W, Ramsey County, Minnesota.
We have reviewed the wetland delineation report you provided. Previously we were
provided a copy of a map from an earlier report prepared by Svoboda Ecological Resources for
the eastern portion of this site (see attached map). Based on that map it appears that your
designation of most of the wetlands as being "incidental" may not be entirely accurate. It
appears that portions of many of the wetlands were present before grading /filling /excavating
activities by MnDOT. The Corps does not have term similar to "incidental wetlands" within its
regulations; and therefore we would likely consider the current wetlands on the site to be
alterations or expansions of wetlands the previously existed on the site. It appears these wetlands
would be considered as part of the tributary system of a watercourse that flows north and
westward toward Kohlman Creek, and ultimately into Lake Phalen and through the city storm
sewer system to the Mississippi River.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the Corps of Engineers has regulatory
jurisdiction over the discharge of dredged and fill materials, including discharges associated with
mechanical land clearing, in all waters of the United States, which includes most wetlands.
Receipt of a permit from a state or local agency does not obviate the requirement for obtaining a
Department of the Army permit for discharges into jurisdictional waters /wetlands.
If you have any questions, contact Tim Fell at (651) 290 -5360. In any correspondence or
inquiries, please refer to the Regulatory number shown above.

Subject: Hill Murray Development Proposal.
Chuck -
I wanted to communicate directly with you to clarify our position regarding the
competing proposals for the Hwy. 5 /Century Ave. MnDOT property. I want to be clear
that the District is not favoring any specific proposal for the use or reuse of this property.
Any user of this property will be required to obtain a District grading and Wetland
Conservation Act permit. A wetland delineation has been completed for the site and we
have generally agreed to its findings. Depending on the specific development plans. they
will have to prepare a sequencing argument and the appropriate plan for wetland
avoidance, minimization and mitigation of any wetland impacts. The development will
also require a District grading permit and be required to provide necessary stormwater
rate and quality improvements.
To be clear, we have no specific objections to the Hill Murray plan to provide a new
access road to the school and additional athletic fields on the MnDOT land. We also
have not specific objections to the previous proposal for the ISD 622 School Bus Facility
and continued MnDOT use of the land. I have not authorized and other person to
represent the position of the District on this matter and no person should make this claim.
Until such time as there is a more specific proposal for the use of this property, the
District will not be presenting any different position than is stated above.
Please feel free to contact me if there is any current or future confusion regarding our
position, role or authority in this issue.

Dear Mr. Ahl:
Per your request, the following is clarification of the Ramsey Conservation District's
(RCD) concerns regarding the proposed school bus facility near Century and Holloway in
Maplewood. The attached letter was sent to Greg Mack of Ramsey County Parks and
Recreation and Richard Fursman, Maplewood City Manager.
The RCD continues to have concerns with potential impacts the proposed land use will
have on both onsite wetlands and adjacent wetlands. With the history of wetlands at this
location prior to MN DOT's filling (we have aerial photos dating back to 1937), much of
this site may make an excellent area for wetland mitigation. Typically, it is easier to
recreate a wetland than to create wetland within a non-wetland area. MN DOT is
required to mitigate wetland loss as part of its road activities throughout the State. This
land may make an excellent mitigation site for them.
Also unique to this site is the large expanse of publicly owned wetland adjacent to this
6 w dan
site. With proper planning and managemvri�t, this area could become a pierm r cl.
complex for the public to enjoy.
In addition, based on what I heard at the January 23 public hearing, it appears there may
be several MN Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) procedural issues with this proposal.
For example, wetland avoidance, minimization of wetland impacts, etc. To date, no
official WCA technical evaluation panel has been called to assess this proposal. This is a
critical step in wetland regulation under the MN WCA.
I would offer the RCD's assistance with this or any other wetland issue in the City.
Wetland conservation/stewardship is a major component of our program.

Dear Mr. Mack:
The Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors is aware of a land
development proposal that could impact Ramsey County Open Space near the intersection of
Holloway and Century Avenues in Maplewood. We have concerns regarding potential
environmental impacts both to the affected property and adjacent public property under Ramsey
County's stewardship.
it is our understanding that the City of North St. Paul and the Maplewood, North St. Paul,
Oakdale School District plan to construct a school bus depot /public works garage facility on the
aforementioned property, which is currently managed by MN DOT. Some of the
development site is currently wetland and would be impacted. This site is also part of a greater
wetland complex owned by Ramsey County. In addition to the direct impacts to wetlands on MN
DOT property, we feel the proposed land use will not be compatible with the surrounding
County property and will impact the wetlands.
Ramsey County has lost more than 80% of its original wetland land base. As a result, lake and
stream water quality has deteriorated and flooding is commonplace. Recognizing the importance
of wetlands in managing our urban landscape, the Ramsey SWCD has a long - standing policy to
promote a "net wetland gain" within Ramsey County. At the very least, we hope that the
adjoining land belonging to the citizens of Ramsey County can be protected from the impacts of
this proposed project.
If you have any questions, please contact our District Manager, Torn Petersen (651 -488 -1476

SUBJECT: Kenwood Area Street Improvements, Project 05 -16
1. Resolution Approving Plans and Advertising for Bids
2. Resolution Ordering Preparation of Assessment Roll
DATE: March 3, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Final plans and specifications for the above referenced project have been completed and are ready to be
advertised for bids. The proposed bid opening for this project is scheduled for 10 :00 a.m., Friday, April
14 2006. Award of bids would be considered by the city council at the April 24, 2006, city council
meeting. Following the approval to advertise for bids, the next step in the improvement process is to
prepare the assessment roll.
Background
Only costs related to the street improvements are proposed to be assessed, and are not directly dependent
on the actual amount of the bid, rather on a predetermined assessment rate established in the city's
pavement management policy. The method of assessment is the same as was outlined in the feasibility
study.
Discussion
The majority of the streets within the Kenwood neighborhood have no existing curb and gutter. It is
proposed that concrete curb and gutter be installed on these streets. Several of the streets (Eldridge Ave.,
Belmont Lane, Greenbrier St., and Burke Ave.) within the Kenwood project already have curb and gutter.
During the neighborhood meetings, staff offered two options to the residents on streets with concrete curb.
The first option was to completely remove all of the existing curb and reconstruct the street to the city
standard of 32 feet wide as the existing street is 36 feet wide. The second option was to retain the existing
curb and gutter, keep the street width at 36 feet and only replace the pavement section. An overwhelming
majority of residents preferred to keep the street at 36 feet wide and the existing curb. Staff has designed
these streets for pavement replacement with the existing curb.
Drainage improvements are proposed throughout the neighborhood as very little storm sewer and water
treatment areas exist. A pond is proposed at the corner of Payne Street and Roselawn Avenue. Staff has
had several positive discussions with the affected property owner regarding the proposed pond. A larger
treatment pond is planned for just west of Keller Lake within Ramsey County property. Currently runoff
from the neighborhood flows directly into Keller Lake without any treatment. The new pond will treat runoff
and improve the quality of flow into Keller Lake. Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District will be
financing the construction of the pond, and Ramsey County has agreed to allow the pond on their property.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the city council approve the attached resolutions for the Kenwood Area Street
Improvements, Project 05 -16: Approving Plans and Advertising for Bids and Ordering the Preparation of

SUBJECT: Carver Crossings Improvements (formerly CoPar Development) -- City Project
05 -07 — Approve Resolution Receiving Environmental Assessment Worksheet
(EAW) and Authorize Distribution for Review
DATE: March 6, 2006
INTRODUCTION
On March 14, 2005, the city council authorized the preparation of an Environmental Assessment
Worksheet (EAW) for the proposed development of the former Schlomka property by the CoPar
Development Company. The project is called Carver Crossing and the EAW has been completed and is
ready to be routed for public comment. The EAW was prepared by one of the City's consultants, Kimley-
Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA), SEH, Inc. City staff has conducted a preliminary review of the document
and suggested a number of changes. Those changes have been made, and the final draft document is
available for review. A resolution authorizing distribution of the EAW for public comment is recommended.
Background
The EAW was ordered for this project area due to concerns for the impacts of the proposed 386 unit
development. At the time of the order, staff suggested that the EAW could provide significant findings that
could require a substantial revision to the proposed site plan. The EAW found significant issues with site
development and the developer has been cooperative in revising their plans to accommodate and address
the environmental concerns. The long preparation time for the EAW and development plan process is due
to the findings and developer revisions. The findings have required that the developer reduce the
proposed site from the original planned unit count of 386 units to the current plan of 299 units. The 299
units are the lowest development level provided within the Maplewood Land Use plan at 4.1 units per acre.
Background on EAW Process
The EAW cannot be adopted at this time, as it is a draft document. The environmental review process
requires the council to review the document and authorize distribution to agencies as well as provide public

The location of the proposed prqiect is located just west of 1-494 and south of Carver Avenue in the
southern part of the City of Maplewood (Figures 3 and 4). The proposed project is a senior housing
development that will include 299 residential units. The planned density n[ the development in
approximately 4.1 units per acre. Senior residents will be able to choose from detached homes, attached
\o)vnhonea, mid condominiums. Residents must bc55yrurso/ age urolder. The total okudyuouio73
acres. The development will occur ou70 acres of private land. 4 three acre parcel that runs through
the middle of the study area and includes Fish Creek has also been included in the study. This parcel in
included so that impacts on Fish Creek and the steep slopes associated with the creek can be assessed.
The three acre parcel iy owned Ly Ramsey County Parks and Recreation.
The construction associated with the proposed development is expected to continue over several years.
Construction activities A4U include grading, infrastructure installation, and construction o[the
residential units. The required project infrastructure, including utilities, roadway, and storm drainage
facilities are phouul|obe completed io approximately one year. This schedule will reduce the duration
of site construction and allow the site to be seeded which will reduce erosion and associated potential
impacts iu the adjacent wetlands and Fish Creek. For purposes o[ representing potential traffic issues
for the Traffic Study, development iousournedWbe completed in five years orthe end of20|0.The
construction of the residential units Mll be market driven and is anticipated to last between three and
five years. Construction activities are projected N begin io2006.
c. Explain the project purpose; if the project will be carried out by a governmental unit, explain
the need for the project and identify its beneficiaries.
The purpose of the development is to create housing specifically for seniors. This development will bc
set up so that residents must be fifty-five years of age or older to reside in the development. The
development is planned to include detached homes, attached townhomes, and condominiurns vdiich will
allow senior residents to have a choice in the type of residence that best fits their needs. This variety oy
options will also allow them to stay within this development through various stages of their retirement.
The location provides easy access to a variety of amenities within the Twin Cities metropolitan area
while still providing a location that is beautiful with its wetlands, hills, and trees. There currently are
eleven senior housing developments in the City o[Maplewood. These are all located considerably
north of the proposed location. The senior housing development located closest |o the proposed site and
within the City of Maplewood ia located over five miles to the north. The proposed development would
provide better coverage o[ senior housing across the City of Maplewood.

Agenda Item K2
The majority of the public infrastructure vN411 be funded by assessments to the City by the benefiting
property owners. Some City funds will be used to finance public improvements that benefit an area
greater than the proposed development.
9. Land use. Describe current and recent past land use and development on the site and on adjacent
lands.
Previous Land Use:
The majority of the property has been owned for at least 100 years by the Schlomka family prior to
purchase by CoPar Development, LLC (Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, Summit
Envirosolutions .Tiny, 2005. Until recently, parts of the property were used for agricultural purposes.
The aerial photos show relatively little change to the subject property between 1937 and 2003. Recent
aerial photos show that the land has returned to a natural state and no agriculture cultivation has
occurred.
The aerial photos indicate that the surrounding land use has continued to experience an increase in
residential growth over time.
Current Land Uses:
The City of Maplewood's existing zoning and land use information is shown in Figures 5 and 6,
respectively. The zoning maps show that all parcels within the study area are zoned as Farm
Residential which matches the prior land uses on the property. The land use map shows that all parcels
within the project area, except the parcel along Fish Creek, are listed as single dwelling residential. The
project site is currently unoccupied except for two parcels located immediately south of Carver Avenue
and west of Henry Road. These are both single family dwelling units that have access directly onto
Carver Avenue.
Prior to purchase by CoPar Development, LLC, there were four single family residences and
agricultural related structures located within the project area. The land has not been tilled in several
years so the land itself has remained relatively unchanged in recent years. It consists of grassland,
wooded, and wetland areas.
There is one parcel identified on Figure 3 that is owned by Ramsey County Parks and Recreation that
runs east -west throughout the majority of the project site. The proposed development will not impact
this public land, which is currently used for deer management. In addition, there are several drainage
structures controlled by Ramsey County that will require access to this property.
Land use activities adjoining the property include the following:
• North
Carver Avenue borders the property on the north. Land use within 1 /2 mile is primarily
residential. The City of Maplewood owns land that is designated as open space just north of
Carver Avenue.
• East
Interstate 494 borders the property on the east. Land use within '/z mile is primarily residential.
• West
Land use between the property and TH 61 is primarily residential with several parcels owned
by Ramsey County Parks and Recreation.
• South
The land to the south is owned by Ramsey County Parks and Recreation and is currently open
space land. This parcel is used for deer management.
Agenda Item K2
Discuss project compatibility with adjacent and nearby land uses.
The proposed project is a continuation of the development patterns of the last 30 years experienced to
the north of Carver Avenue in South Maplewood. The land use and zoning for the project site and
surrounding area are shown in Figures 5 and 6, respectively. As noted above, land use within one -half
mile of the project site is primarily residential.
Indicate whether any potential conflicts involve environmental matters.
Individual impacts are identified in their respective sections.
Identify any potential environmental hazards due to past site uses, such as soil contamination or
abandoned storage tanks, or proximity to nearby hazardous liquid or gas pipelines.
In July 2005, Summit Envirosolutions completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) on
the project site. The Phase I ESA was performed in general accordance with the scope and limitations
of ASTM Practice E1527 -00.
The Phase I ESA concluded the following:
Two underground storage tanks (USTs) formerly dispensing heating oil are present. These tanks
are considered to be a Recognized Environmental Condition (REC) because the condition of the
tanks and the age of the tanks are unknown.
Recommendation Test soil near each area where these USTs are located for potential pollutants.
Properly excavate and remove all USTs and provide proper documentation of all USTs removed.
Several USTs and aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) were identified in various dump locations.
These tanks are considered to be a REC because the condition and age of the tanks are unknown.
Recommendation Test soil near each area where these ASTs and USTs were dumped for
potential pollutants.
A stockpile of treated poles was observed on the property. Based on the chemicals used in the
treatment process and the unknown length of time the pile has been located on the property the
stockpile is considered to be a REC.
Recommendation Collect soil samples near the treated pole stockpile to determine the potential
for impacts to the subsurface.
Two 55- gallon barrels containing unknown quantity of unknown liquid. These are considered to
represent a REC because the contents are not known.
Recommendation The unknown liquid in the barrels needs to be properly characterized for
disposal through sample tests.
There were numerous solid waste dump areas containing unknown quantities of mixed waste.
Because the composition and quantities of the material within the dump areas are not know the
solid waste areas represent a REC.
Recommendation Collect soil samples from the solid waste dump areas based on the identified
materials within each dump pile to determine the potential for impacts to the subsurface.
Recommendation: For all items where removal have not been addressed previously, conduct a
walk through of the site with a solid waste contractor to further identify and characterize the solid
waste dump locations and have all waste disposed of properly.
Agenda Item K2
A comprehensive asbestos survey was not conducted as part of the Phase I ESA, but based on the
construction dates of many of the buildings, the potential for asbestos - containing building
materials is present. Red Pine Industries of Roseville, Minnesota has been contracted to conduct
a hazardous materials survey of the buildings at the site.
There is an existing gas pipeline that is located on the northeast portion of the property. Easements on
the ALTAIACSM Land Title Survey completed by MFRA reference an easement for Great Lakes Pipe
Line Company and Williams Brothers Pipe Line Company.
Summit Envirosolutions has been contracted to continue their work on the property and conduct the
Phase 11 ESA. The work associated with the Phase II ESA has commenced. The Phase 11 ESA is being
completed based on the recommendations presented above in the Phase I ESA. Findings from the Phase
II ESA will determine the specific mitigation required on the project site.
Red Pine Industries has conducted the hazardous materials survey and performed the abatements
necessary; all homes and structures on the site excluding the recently vacated 2410 and currently
occupied 2390 Carver Avenue homes have been properly demolished by a licensed demolition
contractor.
10. Cover types. Estimate the acreage of the site with each of the following cover types before and
after development:
* - Includes 0.43 acres of replacement wetlands (excludes proposed permanent dual purpose
basins and rain gardens).
** - Includes the 0.44 acre of proposed rain gardens.
11. Fish, wildlife and ecologically sensitive resources
a. Identify fish and wildlife resources and habitats on or near the site and describe how they
would be affected by the project. Describe any measures to be taken to minimize or avoid
impacts.
Figure 4 shows an aerial of the project site.
Grassland
Within the project boundary, approximately 34.0 acres is open /grassland. Grasslands provide habitat
for species such as pheasant, snakes, meadow lark, field sparrow, cottontail rabbit, red fox, and
woodchuck. The grasslands are also likely used as foraging areas for raptors.
The proposed project would convert 32.1 acres of the grassland to impervious surface and urban
landscaping. This would result in habitat loss for a variety of species. Many of the wildlife species
that currently inhabit the project site would be displaced.

that currently inhabit the project site would be displaced.
Agenda Item K2
Wetlands
The project site includes 7.3 acres of wetlands (Figure 7). The site wetlands provide wildlife habitat.
The proposed project would alter the existing wetlands as described in Response 12.
Woodlands
The project site currently includes 26.0 acres of woodland. On the private land, located north of the
parcel owned by Ramsey County Parks and Recreation, the majority of the trees are located on the
northwest corner and along the west property line. The parcel owned by Ramsey County Parks and
Recreation is heavily wooded along both sides of Fish Creek. The wooded areas on private land south
of the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation parcel are primarily located on the southwest and
southeast corners and on the north quarter of this area.
Trees and associated woody understory plants provide cover and food for wildlife such as white - tailed
deer, woodcock, thrushes, vireos, woodpeckers, squirrel, and raccoon.
The project would change 15.4 acres of wooded area to impervious surface and urban landscaping.
Woodland impacts would be mitigated by the City ordinance requiring tree preservation. The
ordinance states "If large trees are cut, the density of trees shall be restored to that which existed before
development, but in no case shall the applicant be required to raise the density above ten trees per
acres, unless part of a required planting screen." A large tree is defined in Maplewood Code as "a
healthy tree that has a trunk diameter, four feet above the ground, of at least eight inches, other than a
box elder, cottonwood, poplar, or any other undesirable tree, as determined by the Director of
Community Development." A tree preservation plan was completed by Alliant Engineering that
identifies all trees eight inches in diameter or larger. A copy of this plan is included in Appendix C.
This plan shows that 215 trees will need to be planted to fulfill the ten trees per acre ratio required by
Maplewood Code.
Overall, development of the Project Site is not anticipated to cause substantial impact on the general
wildlife population of the region.
b. Are any state - listed (endangered, threatened or special concern) species, rare plant
communities or other sensitive ecological resources such as native prairie habitat, colonial
waterbird nesting colonies or regionally rare plant communities on or near the site? X Yes
_No.
If yes, describe the resource and haw it would be affected by the project. Indicate if a site survey
of the resources has been conducted and describe the results. If the DNR Natural Heritage and
Nongame Research program has been contacted give the correspondence reference number:
Describe measures to minimize or avoid adverse impacts.
A Minnesota Natural Heritage Information System Data Request Form was sent to the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources on June 9, 2005 for investigation of the site (correspondence
reference number: ERDB 20050919). The letter of response to this request can be found in Appendix
B of this Environmental Assessment Worksheet.
Based on the review of the Minnesota Natural Heritage database, there are eight known occurrences of
rare species and several native plant communities within a I mile radius of the project area. These
occurrences, however, are all outside the project area. Table 1 identifies the element name for each of
the eight occurrences. The majority of the occurrences are located west of the proposed site and are
located near the Mississippi River. Table 1 lists the species included in the database search for this
project.

* - None of the identified elements are located within the project area.
The Minnesota County Biological Survey has identified a "Site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance"
to the west and south of the project area. Although this area is primarily outside of the project
boundaries, construction activities could indirectly impact the identified Oak Forest and Oak -
Woodland Brushland plant communities. The letter from the Minnesota DNR states that "Although
these communities are primarily outside the project area, it is possible that actions on the project site
could affect them through runoff, isolation/fragmentation, or the introduction of invasive non - native
species.
To mitigate potential impacts, the Minnesota DNR recommends a buffer zone of native vegetation be
created between the threatened communities and the new development. The Developer will work with
the City to minimize impacts to this area and develop appropriate mitigation based on the City's Tree
Preservation Ordinance.
12. Physical impacts on water resources. Will the project involve the physical or hydrologic
alteration — dredging, filling, stream diversion, outfall structure, diking, and impoundment —
of any surface waters such as a lake, pond, wetland, stream or drainage ditch? X Yes _ No
If yes, identify water resource affected and give the DNR Protected Waters Inventory number(s)
if the water resources affected are on the PWI. Describe alternatives considered and proposed
mitigation measures to minimize impacts.
Two Wetland Delineation Reports were completed by MFRA, Inc. in September, 2004 and July, 2005.
The project site includes four wetlands and all of which are located toward the northern end of the site
(Figure 7). At the north end, two adjacent wetlands cover approximately 0.84 acre. Wetland 1, is
located on the northwest corner of the project site and is 0.25 acre in size. Wetland 2, located east of
Wetland 1, is 0.59 acre in size. Wetlands 1 and 2 are separated by an existing driveway. To the south
of these wetlands, Wetland 3 covers an area of approximately 6.28 acres. Wetland 4, located between
Fish Creek and Wetland 3, is 0.20 acre in size.
Site construction will impact 0.2 acre of Wetland 4. Wetland impacts will be mitigated on site at a
minimum 2:1 replacement ratio as required under Wetland Conservation Act Rules. Since the
exception limits are being exceeded, a Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) permit will be required.
Wetlands 3 will be expanded to the northwest, resulting in an additional 0.43 acre of on -site wetlands.
The mitigation is being created adjacent to the remaining wetlands, resulting in larger, higher quality
basins that will also provide a contiguous and protected wildlife area. The proposed project will
incorporate erosion control and ponding to minimize potential water quality impacts. Erosion control
and surface water treatment will be addressed in Responses 16 and 17.
Agenda Item K2
13. Water use. Will the project involve installation or abandonment of any water wells, connection to
or changes in any public water supply or appropriation of any ground or surface water
(including dewatering)? X Yes _No
If yes, as applicable, give location and purpose of any new wells; public supply affected, changes
to be made, and water quantities to be used; the source, duration, quantity and purpose of any
appropriations; and unique well numbers and DNR appropriation permit numbers, if known.
Identify any existing and new wells on the site map. If there are no wells known on site, explain
methodology used to determine.
Existing Wells
The Phase I ESA for the project identified two private wells (Figure 7). One well, 200 feet deep, is
located adjacent to the 1501 Henry Lane property. A second well, 12 feet deep, is located between the
1461 and 1481 Henry Lane properties. These wells have been sealed and abandoned by a licensed
contractor. A County Well Index (CWI) search was also completed as part of the Phase I ESA. No
wells identified from the CWI search were located on the project site. No new water wells will be
installed as part of the proposed project.
Water SUnn1V Chances
The proposed development plan will utilize the City's public water supply system, which is owned by
St. Paul Regional Water Services (SPR)NIS). The proposed water distribution system is shown in
Figure 8. A 12 -inch watermain exists in Carver Avenue along the north boundary of the project area.
An 8 -inch watermain is proposed to be installed to the south from the existing 12 -inch watermain,
located at the proposed intersection of Carver Avenue and Henry Lane. The 8 -inch watermain will be
installed along all roadways within the development to serve the residential units and for emergency
services. To improve circulation and redundancy in the water distribution system an 8 -inch watermain
will be installed from the end of the existing watermain on Heights Avenue to Henry Road.
All watermain will be designed and constructed according to St. Paul Regional Water Services
(SPRWS) standards.
14. Water- related land use management district. Does any part of the project involve a shoreland
zoning district, a delineated 100 -year flood plain, or a state or federally designated wild or scenic
river land use district? X Yes No
If yes, identify the district and discuss project compatibility with district land use restrictions.
There is a 100 -year floodplain located within the proposed construction limits that would potentially be
impacted by project construction. The floodplain is located near Fish Creek (Figure 7). A Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was
utilized to determine the location of floodplain in the project area. Fish Creek is over 20 feet below the
proposed ground near the residential units adjacent to Fish Creek. There is a significant change in
grade and the 100 year floodplain may be smaller than indicated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map.
The developer has confirmed the dramatic grade changes and has applied for a Letter of Map
Amendment (LAMA) to amend the FIRM. Prior to any grading within the floodplain as identified in
the FIRM, the developer will need to receive the LOMA from FEMA or have approval from the
Ramsey- Washington Metro Watershed District and the City of Maplewood.
The entire project area is located in the Mississippi River Critical Area Corridor. The closest part of
the project area is located about one -half a mile east of the Mississippi. Maplewood has designated
this as an "Urban Diversified District." The City has adopted additional policies for this area that
include: Inform the MNDNR on potential ordinance changes and development applications, ensure
any development and construction reduces and improves the quality of runoff, ensure that future
development and construction in the Critical Area will meet or exceed the development standards set
by City ordinances and policies, and require that all new development minimize adverse effects and
maximizes all possible beneficial effects. Based on a review of Maplewood's Comprehensive Plan the
Agenda Item K2
proposed action is consistent with these goals.
15. Water surface use. Will the project change the number or type of watercraft on any water body?
_Tres X No
If yes, indicate the current and projected watercraft usage and discuss any potential
overcrowding or conflicts with other uses.
16. Erosion and sedimentation. Give the acreage to be graded or excavated and the cubic yards of
soil to be moved:
53 acres
217,000 cubic yards
Describe any steep slopes or highly erodible soils and identify them on the site map. Describe any
erosion and sedimentation control measures to be used during and after project construction.
There are steep slopes on the proposed site, particularly along the banks of Fish Creek within the
project area. The Soil Survey of Washington and Ramsey Counties was used to identify the steep
slopes and areas where highly erodible soils are located. The slopes and soil types are identified in
Figure 11. There are three soils that are present on the proposed site that pose a moderate erosion
hazard: 454D — Mahtomedi Loamy Sand (12 -25% slopes), 454F — Mahtomedi Loamy Sand (24 -40%
slopes), and 896D— Mahtomedi- Kingsly Complex (12 -25% slopes). All other soils located within the
project area are anticipated to pose a slight erosion hazard.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be employed to minimize erosion and sedimentation during
construction. Silt fence will be installed around the areas to be graded to prevent down slope soil
movement. The silt fence will be routinely inspected to ensure that it is functioning properly. Rock
construction entrances will be installed at all construction exits. All disturbed areas will be revegetated
upon completion of construction as appropriate with the proposed design. Temporary sedimentation
basins may be constructed on site to treat runoff during construction. Stormwater treatment ponds will
be constructed in coniunction with site grading. The stormwater treatment ponds will be cleaned out
after construction is completed, as necessary.
A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit will be obtained from the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency prior to the start of construction to ensure proper temporary and
permanent erosion control measures are implemented. Erosion control measures will be maintained
during the construction period of the project. All erosion control measurements will be installed and
maintained in accordance with the City of Maplewood, the Ramsey- Washington Metro Watershed
District, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
17. Water quality: surface water runoff
a. Compare the quantity and quality of site runoff before and after the project. Describe
permanent controls to manage or treat runoff. Describe any stormwater pollution prevention
plans.
The impervious area for the project will increase from 0.8 acres to 23.6 acres out of a total project area
of 73.2 acres. This increase in impervious area urill increase the runoff rate and volume, however after
on -site stormwater management techniques are in place, the overall runoff rate urill be less than pre -
development conditions. The proposed storm sewer system is shown in Figure 9.
Recent development in the City of Maplewood has incorporated stormwater management features that
are designed to meet stringent requirements. The City requirements are as follows:
• The first inch of precipitation from a storm event must be captured and infiltrate.
• Stormwater runoff volume and rates must be equal or less than existing conditions.
• The PDPBs will be designed to accommodate the sediment storage volume established in
South Maplewood's design standards for PDPB.
Agenda Item K2
• The system must remove at least 80% of total suspended solids.
• The system must remove at least 60% of total phosphorus.
The proposed project will utilize the proposed storm sewer system to convey the storm water to several
rainwater gardens and permanent dual purpose basins (PDPBs) before being discharged into wetlands
and eventually Fish Creek. The project will include on -site stormwater management techniques for
both water quality and rate control. Stormwater rate control will be provided by six PDPBs allowing
for on -site storage and treatment prior to discharge in to existing wetlands and Fish Creek. The ponds
will be designed to City of Maplewood standards, with rate control for the 100 -year storm event. Two
of the proposed ponds will be located on the south side of Fish Creek and four ponds will be located on
the north side of Fish Creek.
Rainwater gardens will be constructed at one location on the north side of Fish Creek and one location
south of Fish Creek. These rainwater gardens will treat stormwater runoff of the proposed
development before discharging it into existing wetlands and Fish Creek. The rainwater gardens A411
be constructed per City of Maplewood standards. As part of the planning process, Alliant Engineering
completed HydroCAD modeling. A copy of the HydroCAD report is included in Appendix E.
Stormwater management issues have and will continue to be coordinated with the Ramsey - Washington
Metro Watershed District and the City of Maplewood.
b. Identify routes and receiving water bodies for runoff from the site, include major downstream
water bodies as well as the immediate receiving waters. Estimate impact runoff on the quality of
receiving waters.
The majority of the runoff from the proposed development will discharge into Fish Creek which
ultimately runs into the Mississippi River. The net effect of stormwater management is expected to be
a reduction in the runoff rate for the after conditions. The stormwater ponds are expected to provide
treatment for water quality based on PDPB standards, with 60% to 80% removal efficiency expected.
Target pollutants include total suspended solids (TSS), phosphorus, other nutrients, and trace elements
that are attached to sediments.
18. Water quality: wastewaters
a. Describe sources, composition and quantities of all sanitary, municipal and industrial
wastewater produced or treated at the site.
Response: Wastewater will consist of typical domestic wastes associated with a residential
development. The projected wastewater flow rate for residential properties is 275 gallons /unit /day.
This value is from the City of Maplewood's 2003 Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan Update and was
confirmed with Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) staff. Based on the 299 units
the average flow is projected to be 83,000 gallons per day (GPD). The peak flow factor is used to
obtain the project peak flows. The peak flow factor for a particular sewer is based on the average flow,
because as average flow increases, peak flow factors decrease. Using a table included in the City of
Maplewood's 2003 Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan Update from the MCES, the peak flow factor
for a sewer with an average flow less than 0.11 million gallons per day (MGD) is 4.0. Therefore, the
peak flow is anticipated to be 332,000 GPD.
The proposed sanitary sewer system is shown in Figure 10. Proposed 8 -inch sanitary sewer lines will
be constructed throughout the proposed development to provide sanitary sewer service. These sanitary
sewer lines will connect to a proposed lift station located in the center of the site along Henry Lane.
The proposed development sewage will be pumped from this lift station location north of Fish Creek to
the Carver Lake Interceptor via forcemain. The Carver Lake Interceptor is operated and maintained by
the MCES.
An 8 -inch sanitary sewer stub will be constructed east of the proposed lift station to accommodate
potential future development on the cast side of Interstate 494. This stub will be jacked from the lift
Agenda Item K2
station located adjacent to Henry Lane to the east side of I -494. This stub is not required as part of the
developer's plans but would be added by the City. The stub will allow the City to expand the sanitary
sewer system in the future to areas not currently served by sanitary sewer. Although there are no
definite plans for development on the east side of 1 -494, an 8 -inch sanitary sewer stub will
accommodate the peak flow anticipated from potential development that may occur, as long as the
development is consistent with the City's land use plan. The lift station and forcemain will be sized to
accommodate this future flow.
b. Describe waste treatment methods or pollution prevention efforts and give estimates of
composition after treatment. Identify receiving waters, including major downstream water
bodies, and estimate the discharge impact on the quality of receiving waters. If the project
involves on -site sewage systems, discuss the suitability of site conditions for such systems.
Response: Wastewater will be discharged into a publicly owned treatment facility.
c. If wastes will be discharged into a publicly owned treatment facility, identify the facility,
describe any pretreatment provisions and discuss the facility's ability to handle the volume and
composition of wastes, identifying any improvements necessary.
Response: All wastewater will be discharged into the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant
operated and maintained by the MCES. There are no pretreatment requirements for the waste from
this site.
d. If the project requires disposal of liquid animal manure, describe disposal technique and
location and discuss capacity to handle the volume and composition of manure. Identify any
improvements necessary. Describe any required setbacks for land disposal systems.
Response: N/A
19. Geologic hazards and soil conditions
a. Approximate depth (in feet) to
groundwater: 80 minimum 110 average
Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation District, 2003
to bedrock: 50 minimum 100 average
Geologic Atlas of Ramsey County, Minnesota
Describe any of the following geologic site hazards to ground water and also identify them on the
site map: sinkholes, shallow limestone formations or karst conditions. Describe measures to
avoid or minimize environmental problems due to any of these hazards.
There are no known sinkholes, shallow limestone formations, or karst conditions on the site. Karst
topography is generally located in southeastern Minnesota, but Ramsey County is on the north edge of
these formations according to the Ramsey County All- Lazard Vitigation Plan. This document states
that "Karst topography exists in the very southern portions of Ramsey County along the Mississippi
River in the form of caves." The bedrock along the north edge of the property just south of Carver
Avenue is identified as the Prairie du Chien Group in the Geologic Atlas of Ramsey County,
Minnesota. The upper parts of the Prairie du Chien dolostone may contain karst solution cavities,
particularly where overlying St. Peter Sandstone has been removed by erosion. Karst conditions may
exist because the project is located in southern Ramsey County, is located relatively close to the
Mississippi River, and Prairie du Chien bedrock exists that was p reviously covered with St. Peter
Sandstone. Prior to development of the construction documents, several soil borings should be taken
at various locations throughout the project site and a geotechnical evaluation should be completed.
Agenda Item K2
b. Describe the soils on the site, giving MRCS (SCS) classifications, if known. Discuss soil
granularity and potential for groundwater contamination from wastes or chemicals spread or
spilled onto the soils. Discuss any mitigation measures to prevent such contamination.
According to the Soil Survey of Washington and Ramsey Counties, seven soil types are mapped on the
site. Figure 11 shows the soil types that are on the project site. These soils include Antigo silt loam,
Chetek sandy loam, Zimmerman loamy fine sand, Mahtomedi loamy sand, Barronett silt loam, Cathro
muck, and Mahtomedi - Kingsley complex. The Antigo silt loam, Clietek sandy loam, Barronett silt
loam, mid Cathro muck on the project site are all relatively level with slopes ranging between 0 to 6
percent. The Zimmerman loamy fine sand has slopes between 6 to 12 percent. The Mahtomedi loamy
sand falls into a following slope categories depending on location: 0 to 6 percent, 6 to 12 percent, 12 to
25 percent, and 25 to 40 percent. The Mahtomedi - Kingsley complex has slopes between 12 -25 %.
Over 75% of the project area is well drained (Antigo silt loam), somewhat excessively drained ( Chetek
sandy loam), excessively and well drained (Mahtomedi- Kingsley complex) or excessively drained
(Zimmerman loamy fine sand and Mahtomedi loamy sand). The soils on the site that are poorly
drained or very poorly drained are Barronett silt loam and Cathro muck, respectively. All soils on the
project site have slight erosion hazard except for the Mahtomedi loamy sand with slopes between 12
and 40% and the Mahtomedi- Kingsley complex with a slope between 12 and 25 %.
From the map "Sensitivity of the Prairie Du Chien - Jordan Aquifer to Pollution" from the Geologic
Atlas of Ramsey County, Minnesota, the site is located in an area with low to moderate ratings. The
rating is estimated by considering the number and effectiveness of bedrock confining units between it
and the land surface at any point, the depth to bedrock, and the composition of the overlying
unconsolidated deposits. Estimated travel time for water -borne contaminants at the land surface to
reach the Prairie Du Chien- Jordan Aquifer varies from years to a century depending on the specific
location.
Storage of any buried bulk liquid waste or chemical products are not proposed.
24. Solid wastes, hazardous wastes, storage tanks
a. Describe types, amounts and compositions of solid or hazardous wastes, including solid animal
manure, sludge and ash, produced during construction and operation. Identify method and
location of disposal. For projects generating municipal solid waste, indicate if there is a source
separation plan; describe how the project will be modified for recycling. If hazardous waste is
generated, indicate if there is a hazardous waste minimization plan and routine hazardous waste
reduction assessments.
Construction and operation of the proposed property is anticipated to generate standard municipal solid
waste. This solid waste will be disposed of by contract haulers to the regional solid waste facility. The
City of Maplewood's current recycling program has scheduled recyclable pick -ups every other week
on the same day as normal refuse collection. Recycling will reduce the amount of waste sent to the
regional landfills.
b. Identify any toxic or hazardous materials to be used or present at the site and identify
measures to be used to prevent them from contaminating groundwater. If the use of toxic or
hazardous materials will lead to a regulated waste, discharge or emission, discuss any
alternatives considered to minimize or eliminate the waste, discharge or emission.
Toxic or hazardous materials are not anticipated at the site during construction or during operation.
The recommendations from the ESA Phase I in regards to existing potentially toxic or hazardous
materials are summarized in Response 9. A Phase 11 ESA is currently being prepared based on the
recommendations of the ESA Phase 1.
Agenda Item K2
c. Indicate the number, location, size and use of any above or below ground tanks to store
petroleum products or other materials, except water. Describe any emergency response
containment plans.
There grill be no above or below ground tanks on site to store petroleum products or other materials
after completion of the project The recommendations from the ESA Phase I in regards to existing
tanks are summarized in Response 9. A Phase 11 ESA is currently being prepared based on the
recommendations of the ESA Phase 1.
21. Traffic.
Parking spaces added: Senior Condominiums: 120 garage spaces and 74 off street spaces.
A combination of garages, driveway, and off street parking spaces v"411 be
provided for the detached and attached homes.
Existing spaces: 0
Estimated total average daily traffic generated: 1203 vehicles per day
Estimated maximum peak hour traffic generated (if known) and time of occurrence: 113
vehicles per hour during the PM peak hour.
Provide an estimate of the impact on traffic congestion on affected roads and describe any traffic
improvements necessary. If the project is within the Twin Cities metropolitan area, discuss its
impact on the regional transportation system.
A traffic analysis was completed to assess any traffic impacts at nearby intersections caused by
additional trips generated by the proposed development. The analysis indicates that the level of service
for all traffic movements will be at satisfactory levels under existing, future no build, and future build
scenarios except for the southbound movement at Sterling Street and Bailey Road. The southbound
approach to this intersection is anticipated to operate at level of service E during the 2010 no action
and 2010 build scenarios during the AM peak hour. The traffic volume on this approach under the
2010 build scenario during the AM peak hour is only projected to be 44 vehicles, considerably lower
than minor approach traffic volumes required to satisfy any of the traffic volume related signal
warrants. In addition, these results are conservative because the Highway Capacity Manald
methodology used does not incorporate the impacts of gaps in traffic caused by the all -way stop
controlled intersection located at Bailey Road and Military Road. Due to the relatively low peak hour
southbound approach volume and the gaps created by the adjacent intersection, no improvements are
recommended.
Several turn lanes will need to be constructed to improve safety and traffic operations. At the
intersection of McKnight Road a westbound right -turn lane will be added to improve traffic operations
at this all -way stopped controlled intersection. On Carver Avenue an eastbound right -turn lane and
westbound left -turn lane will be added at the new Henry Road connection. These turn lanes provide
access into the proposed development. To improve sight distance a change in the alignment of the
south approach of Henry Road is proposed that would improve the sight - distance looking east at this
intersection from approximately 250' to 550'. The Henry Road approach u411 access Carver Avenue
about 375' west of the current Henry Road intersection. This alignment change u411 improve the sight -
distance in both directions.
A complete traffic analysis report is presented in Appendix D.
Agenda Item K2
22. Vehicle - related air emissions. Estimate the effect of the project's traffic generation on air quality,
including carbon monoxide levels. Discuss the effect of traffic improvements or other mitigation
measures on air quality impacts. Note: If the project involves 500 or more parking spaces,
consult EAW Guidelines about whether a detailed air quality analysis is needed.
Typical of many developments, the proposed project will generate air pollution as a result of motor
vehicle activity associated with the project. Motor vehicles emit a variety of pollutants including
carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulates. Vehicle pollutants are typically
highest in concentrated in the vicinity of signalized intersections where vehicles are idling due to the
signal. No signalized intersections are included in the traffic analysis, nor are there any traffic signals
being added as mitigation measures due to this project. The traffic operations are at acceptable levels
for all individual intersection movements analyzed as part of Item 21, except for the southbound
approach to Bailey Road and Sterling Street during the AM peak hour. Although the level of service
(LOS) is anticipated to be below LOS D, the traffic volumes on this approach are not at levels that
would meet traffic signal installation warrants. It is important to note the southbound approach is
anticipated to operate at LOS E this will only impact 44 vehicles during the AM peak hour.
As part of the Environmental Assessment completed for the I- 4941TH 61 Interchange Project by
Mn/DOT, projected carbon monoxide levels will be below federal and state standards at all locations
modeled under 2008 and 2017 conditions. This model included receptors near the project site at the
Carver Avenue underpass at I -494.
Vehicle related air emissions are expected to be negligible based upon the information provided above.
23. Stationary source air emissions. Describe the type, sources, quantities and compositions of any
emissions from stationary sources of air emissions such as boilers, exhaust stacks or fugitive dust
sources. Include any hazardous air pollutants (consult EAW Guidelines for a listing) and any
greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide) and ozone - depleting
chemicals (chloro- fluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons or sulfur hexafluoride).
Also describe any proposed pollution prevention techniques and proposed air pollution control
devices. Describe the impacts on air quality.
The project will likely involve the installation of a combination of natural gas -fired home and electric
heating devices in the detached homes, townhomes, and two condominium buildings. The heating
devices will exhaust small amounts of PM, NOx, CO, and HC. Neither of the types of home heating
devices will adversely affect air quality in the air. No incinerators will be utilized for the project.
24. Odors, noise and dust. Will the project generate odors, noise or dust during construction or
during operation? X Yes _No
If yes, describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities or intensity and any proposed
measures to mitigate adverse impacts. Also identify locations of nearby sensitive receptors and
estimate impacts on them. Discuss potential impacts on human health or quality of life. (Note:
fugitive dust generated by operations may be discussed at item 23 instead of here.)
Dust
The proposed project will generate dust during construction. Construction activities will expose soil
material and cause it to become airborne. Construction dust generation will be a temporary, short -term
impact lasting during project construction. Dust will be controlled by minimizing the amount of
exposed area, paving or re- vegetating as soon as practical after grading, watering exposed areas during
dry and windy conditions and keeping street serving the project site clean.
Odors
The proposed project is not expected to generate significant odors.
Agenda Item K2
Construction Noise
The proposed project itself will not increase the noise level of the area
Construction of the proposed project wrill generate noise from construction equipment and activities.
Construction noise impacts would be temporary and short -term, lasting only during project
construction. In accordance with the City of Maplewood City Code (§ 18 -111), construction noise will
be limited to the hours between 7:00 p.m. and 7 :00 a.m. Monday through Saturday and all day
Sunday).
The following measures to minimize noise and dust emissions would be incorporated into the
construction procedure for the project:
• All internal combustion motors would be fitted with mufflers and other noise control equipment as
specified by the manufacturer.
• Minnesota Rules 7005.0050 on the control of fugitive particulate matter from construction and
hauling activities would be complied with so as to minimize adverse air quality impacts.
Traffic Noise
The traffic volumes generated by the proposed project are not expected to be at levels that would result
in a measurable increase in noise on surrounding neighborhoods. I-494 is located on the east of the
proposed project and the noise generated from I-494 may impact residents in the proposed
development.
Sound levels for studies assessing noise impacts, particularly on humans, are expressed as A- weighted
decibels (dBA). This is unit of sound has been weighted specifically for the purpose of determining
the human response to sound. In addition, noise is further categorized as L10, L and L eq. The
numbered subscripts describe the sound level that is exceeded by that percent of time during a one
hour duration. L lo represents the percentage of time (i.e., 10 %) during an observation period in which
the A -level exceeds a stated value such as L L, is the constant, average sound level, which over a
period of time contains the same amount of sound energy as the varying levels of the noise.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has identified five (5) categories of activity for use in
noise -level analyses. Maximum noise -level thresholds have been established for four (4) of these
activities. These maximum thresholds, or criteria levels, represent the upper limit of acceptable traffic
noise -level conditions. The Noise Abatement Criteria (NAC) levels developed by the FHWA are
presented in the table below and apply only to noise- sensitive sites and areas of regular human use
where lower noise levels are desirable. The proposed project is classified as Category B which has an
abatement level of 70 dBA.

A Guide to Noise Control, WCA, 1999.
In November 2000, MnIDOT completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the I- 4941TH 61
Interchange Project. The EA analyzed sound levels using the FHWA noise prediction model
STAMINA 2.0, as modified for use by Mn/DOT. This EA included an analysis of traffic noise and
investigated the noise impacts on the cast side of I-494, directly east of the proposed development.
This analysis included existing (2000), future no- action (2020), and future build conditions (2020).
The I- 4941TH 61 interchange project is currently being constructed and is anticipated to be completed
in 2007. Since the I- 4941TH 61 intcrchange project is currently being built, only existing and build
conditions summarized in the EA will be discussed. The I- 494/TH 61 Project will increase the number
of lancs on the section of I-494 between Bailey Road and Carver Avenue from four to six lancs. The
noise analysis determined that both daytime and nighttime MPCA State Noise Standards were being
exceeded, and arc projected to be exceeded under build conditions at the three noise modeling
receptors located east of the proposed Carver Crossing of Maplewood project.
The I- 494/TH 61 EA noise analysis determined that the MPCA daytime and nighttime noise standards
were exceeded at all three noise receptors modeled on the east side of I -494 (between Carver Avenue
and Bailey Road). These receptors were labeled 13A, 13B, and 14 in the EA completed by Mn /DOT.
Receptor 13A was located on the east side of the I -494, directly east of the southern limits of the
proposed Carver Crossing project. Receptor 13B was located on the east side of I -494, near the middle
of the Carver Crossing project. Receptor 14 was located on the southeast corner of Carver Avenue and
Sterling Street, which is east of I -494 and directly east of the northern limits of the proposed Carver
Crossing project. The table below includes a summary of the results from the I- 494 /TH 61 Interchange
Project EA.
The I- 4941TH 61 EA noise analysis projected build noise levels to be approximately 3 -4 decibels
higher than existing noise levels. As part of the I- 494/TH 61 EA a review of mitigation measures was

The I- 4941TH 61 EA noise analysis projected build noise levels to be approximately 3 -4 decibels
higher than existing noise levels. As part of the I- 494/TH 61 EA a review of mitigation measures was
Agenda Item K2
completed. This analysis determined that a noise wall constructed in this area would result in only a 0-
5 decibel decrease. This decrease in noise would not bring nighttime noise levels to within nighttime
standards. In addition, the cost of constructing the noise wall would exceed the $3250 per decibel per
residence criteria. Therefore, no noise mitigation was programmed for this area.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation's policy as describe in the Highway Traffic Noise:
Assessment and Abatement Brochure provides the answer to the question, "Does Mn/DOT analyze
noise mitigation for new developments ?" as follows: "For a major highway reconstruction project,
Mn/DOT will analyze an area if the final plat was approved prior to Mn/DOT's environmental review
process. If development occurs after this date, any noise mitigation is the responsibility of the
municipality as per MN State Rule 7030.0030.
Minnesota Rule 7030.0030 states that "Any municipality having authority to regulate land use shall
take all reasonable measures within its jurisdiction to prevent the establishment of land use activities
listed in noise area classifications (NAC) 1, 2, or 3 in any location where these standards established in
part 7030.0040 N011 be violated immediately upon establishment of the land use."
To assess the impacts of grade differences between the east and west sides of 1 -494, the proposed
grading, and the two condominium buildings that would be built as part of the proposed Carver
Crossing project an additional analysis was completed. Kimley -Horn used the FHWA Traffic Noise
Model (TNM 2.5) to build an existing conditions model. The existing conditions model was
developed for 1999 traffic conditions using the 1998 and 2000 ADT maps available from Mn/DOT and
the existing four lane configuration of I -494. The percent of daily traffic that occurred during the peak
hour was estimated using information provided in the 1- 4941TH 61 EA. This model was then ran and
validated against the 1999 results presented in the I- 494ITH 61 EA.
After the model was validated against existing conditions, the model was modified to estimate 2010
conditions with the proposed Carver Crossing project. This model included one additional lane in each
direction on I -494, the impacts of the proposed condominium buildings, and projected 2010 traffic
volumes on I -494. The traffic volumes on I -494 were estimated using the 1999 traffic volumes
estimated for the existing conditions model and the 2020 build traffic volumes summarized in the I-
4941TH 61 EA. The model resulted in several L ei point model receptor projections. L, values were
not reported using TNM 2.5 because their use requires pre - approval from the FHWA. However, L,
values were estimated based on the premise that L, values are typically 3 dBA higher than L , The
estimated L contour lines for 60, 65, and 70 dBA are shown in Figure 12. The results show that
the MPCA daytime standard for L, is exceeded at the two condominium buildings located closest to I-
494 and at five of the attached townhomes located north of the condominium buildings.
The nighttime peak hour that experiences the most severe noise conditions typically occurs between
6:00 and 7:00 AM. The reason for this is generally twofold; because traffic volumes are beginning to
build just prior to the AM peak period and traffic is running at or near free -flow speeds. The I- 4941TH
61 EA noise analysis did projections at three receptors under the existing and 2020 build scenario.
This study projected nighttime peak noise levels to be 1 to 0 decibels lower than daytime peak noise
levels at the adjacent modeled receptors 13A, 13B, and 14 under both existing and 2020 build
conditions. Therefore, separate nighttime noise modeling was not performed because the daytime and
nighttime noise levels are essentially equal, and the difference is not perceptible to the human ear.
Using the modeled results and comparing the levels to the nighttime MPCA standard, the noise MPCA
nighttime standards are anticipated to be exceeded throughout the entire portion of the proposed
project located north of Fish Creek and a significant portion of the proposed project located south of
Fish Creek.
Noise levels are above and projected to be above state standards throughout a significant portion of the
proposed development. This is not uncommon for suburban developments located adjacent to major
roadways. Since existing and future noise levels are anticipated to be above state noise standards, the
proposed residential units will be designed to minimize noise impacts by providing climate - controlled
units and increasing wall insulation. In addition, any outside common areas for the two condominium
Agenda Item K2
buildings will be located on the west side of the buildings. These elements would decrease the
residents' exposure to adjacent traffic noise.
25. Nearby resources. Are any of the following resources on or in proximity to the site?
Archaeological, historical or architectural resources? X Yes No
A site files search conducted by the MN SHPO staff on June 16, 2005 indicated that there were no
known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. This email also states that that a majority
of the archaeological sites in the state and many historic properties have not been recorded, there may
be important sites and structures within the study area. A copy the letter and response is included in
Appendix C.
To further review the potential for archaeological sites and historic properties on the site, a Cultural
Resource Assessment was conducted by The 106 Group, LTD, in July 2005. The architectural history
survey of Saint Paul and Ramsey County completed in 1983 included one property at 2410 Carver
Avenue. The home on this property was identified as a surviving farmhouse but did not have the
potential for listing on the National Record of Historical Places or local designation. No properties
within the project area were recorded as part of the 1983 study. The 106 Group inventoried the 6
properties within the study area that were 50 years in age or older. These properties lack historical
integrity and architectural distinction, and have a low potential for association with significant historic
patterns or persons. None of these properties are recommended for further study.
An assessment was conducted of the project area to identify areas with moderate or high
archaeological potential. Research records were reviewed that showed that no previous archaeological
surveys have been conducted within the project area. There is one previously recorded site, located
west of the project area, which is identified as Red Rock Mound (21RA003). The mound was visible
in a 1936 aerial photograph, but a 1995 pedestrian field survey conducted by The 106 Group was
unable to locate the current position of the mound. It was concluded that the mound had likely been
destroyed by prior construction projects. The mound formerly identified west of the project site
indicates a Native American presence in the area. The assessment concluded that several landforms
within the project area are within 500 feet of an existing or former water source of 40 acres or greater
in extent, within 500 feet of a former or existing perennial stream or located on a topographically
prominent landscape features, and appear to be largely undisturbed. These areas are considered to
exhibit a high potential for containing intact archaeological resources and further archaeological testing
was recommended. A Phase I Archeological Survey has been completed by Summit Envirosolutions,
Inc. as recommended in the Cultural Resource Assessment. The development plans have been
amended to avoid archeological findings located on the proposed site.
Prime or unique farmlands or land within an agricultural preserve? X Yes No
The Federal Farmland Protection Policy Act defines four different categories to rank the quality of
potential farmland. The four categories are Prime, Unique, Statewide and Locally Important
Farmlands.
Prime Farmland is defined as land that has the best combination of physical and chemical
characteristics for producing food, feed, fiber, forage, oilseed, and other agricultural crops with
minimum impacts of fuel, fertilizer, pesticides and labor, and without intolerable soil erosion.
Unique Farmland is land other than Prime Farmland that is used for the production of specific high -
value food and fiber crops. Unique Farmlands in Minnesota may include cranberry bogs, wild rice
paddies, orchards, commercial vegetable gardens, etc.
Statewide or Locally Important Farmlands are those other than Prime or Unique Farmlands that are of
statewide or local importance for the production of food, feed, fiber, forage, or oilseed crops as
determined by the appropriate state or local agencies. These farmlands generally include lands that
have limitations due to steep slopes wetness or dryness, which require comprehensive soil and water
Agenda Item K2
conservation practices
There are two soils that are present on the proposed site that are listed as Prime or other Important
Farmlands by the USDA: 49 — Antigo Silt Loam (0 -2% slopes) and 155B — Chetek Sandy Loam (0 -6%
slopes). These two areas of farmland can be found on Figure 11. The Antigo Silt Loam is listed as
Prime Farmland and is located on the northeast comer of the project site. The Chetek Sandy Loam is
listed as Statewide Important Farmland and is located south of Fish Creek and on the western extents
of the project site.
The City has identified this area for development. Since no federal funding is involved, there is no
requirement for avoidance of, or replacement of prime farmlands.
Designated parks, recreation areas or trails? X Yes No
As documented in Response 9 there are several parcels owned by Ramsey County Parks and
Recreation located within or adjacent to the study area. One parcel runs east -west throughout the
majority of the proposed development. The remaining parcels border the portion of the proposed
development located south of Fish Creek. These parcels are about 35 acres, 26 acres, and 21 acres in
size and are located adjacent to the southern portion of the development on the south, west, and north
sides, respectively. The proposed development will not impact this public land, which is currently
used as open space and for deer management. Both Ramsey County Parks and Recreation parcels are
currently designated as open space rather than park land. In addition, there are several drainage
structures controlled by the Ramsey - Washington Metro Watershed District that will require access to
this property. County staff stated that one reason this parcel was purchased by Ramsey County was to
protect steep slopes, therefore Ramsey County is interested in impacts and encroachments related to
water and drainage features in this area.
There is also City of Maplewood open space north of Carver Avenue. The possibility of a trail
connection from the proposed development to the City open space was considered but there is not an
ideal location for an off -road trail connection.
A meeting with City and County staff during the planning phases of this project occurred so that input
would be obtained and incorporated into the proposed design. As part of the project sidewalk is going
to be constructed along the entire length of Henry Lane from Carver Avenue to the end of Henry Lane.
To obtain access to the southern portion of the Ramsey County Open Space a public easement will be
added between two single family lots to allow maintenance equipment to access the County land. The
maintenance access between the two single family lots and the segment of sidewalk that provides
access to Henry Lane will be designated by easement as public trail. In addition, the sidewalk that
connects the end of Heights Avenue to Henry Road will also be designated as public trail. To provide
access to Fish Creek an additional public trail easement will be added south from the sidewalk
connection between Heights Avenue and private cul -de -sac to the boundary of the Ramsey County
Open Space.
To utilize the natural features of this site, two viewing areas have been added to the proposed project
One viewing area has been added on the southwest comer of the single family homes. The second
viewing area has been added just south of Fish Creek between the attached toumhomes located on the
south side of Fish Creek.
Scenic views and vistas? Yes X No
Other unique resources? Yes X No
If yes, describe the resource and identify any project- related impacts on the resource. Describe
any measures to minimize or avoid adverse impacts.
Agenda Item K2
26. Visual impacts. Will the project create adverse visual impacts during construction or operation?
Such as glare from intense lights, lights visible in wilderness areas and large visible plumes from
cooling towers or exhaust stacks? _ Yes X No
If yes, explain.
Temporary adverse visual impacts may occur during the construction period with the presence of
heavy machinery and equipment.
The visual environment will change as a result of the proposed project. The area is currently primarily
wooded, open grasslands, and wetlands with very few roads and structures. The existing structures on
the site are generally hidden from the roadways by trees. The proposed project will develop the land
into detached homes, attached towmhomes, and condominiums. These buildings will be visible from
Carver Avenue and I -494.
Visual impacts are anticipated to be minor during both construction and after the project is build and
operating under normal conditions.
27. Compatibility with plans and land use regulations. Is the project subject to an adopted local
comprehensive plan, land use plan or regulation, or other applicable land use, water, or resource
management plan of a local, regional, state or federal agency?
X Yes _ No. If yes, describe the plan, discuss its compatibility with the project and explain
how any conflicts will be resol=ed. If no, explain.
The City of Maplewood's comprehensive plan or land use will need to be amended. This would
change the land use designation within the project area from R -I single dwellings (4.1 tmitslacre) to R-
3(L) multiple dwellings — low density (4.4 -6.3 umitslacre). For the proposed plan, the City will require
a conditional use permit (CUP) for a planned unit development (PUD). The PUD will allow the
following features to be included in the project: a mix of housing styles, variety of setbacks, smaller
lots for the detached homes, and many units to be located on private driveways. The PUD will allow
for a site plan that will help preserve the natural features that exist on the site.
28. Impact on infrastructure and public services. Will new or expanded utilities, roads, other
infrastructure or public services be required to serve the project? X Yes — No. If yes,
describe the new or additional infrastructure or services needed. (Note: any infrastructure that is
a connected action with respect to the project must be assessed in the EAW; see EAW Guidelines
for details.)
Traffic Operations
As discussed in Item 21, there are three turn lanes that will be added to improve traffic operations and
safety. At the intersection of McKnight Road a westbound right -turn lane will be constructed. On
Carver Avenue an eastbound right -turn lane and westbound left -turn lane will be constructed at the
new Henry Road connection. A detailed traffic analysis report is included in Appendix D.
Roadways
This development will require that a combination of public and private roadways be constructed to
provide access to each of the residential units. Henry Road will be a public road for its entire length.
This roadway will connect to Carver Avenue west of its current location. This modification was made
to improve sight distance to the existing underpass located to the east at I-494. An emergency access
in proposed to connect the development to Heights Avenue which will provide a second access to the
residential units located north of Fish Creek. The emergency access will be identified with signage
and blocked with barricades or ballards approved by the City. To reduce environmental impacts in the
area only one roadway crossing is being proposed over Fish Creek.
Agenda Item K2
Utilities
Public utilities grill be extended to the residential units located on the project site. This project will
require that both public water and sanitary sewer be constructed throughout the site.
The sanitary sewer system will tie into the existing Carver Lake Interceptor that runs down Carver
Avenue. The proposed development sewage will be pumped by a lift station that will be installed
north of Fish Creek to the Carver Lake Interceptor via forcemain. An 8 -inch sanitary sewer stub will
be constructed east of the proposed lift station to accommodate potential future development on the
east side of Interstate 494. This stub will be jacked from the lift station located adjacent to Henry Lane
to the east side of I -494. Although there are no definite plans for development on the east side of I-
494, an 8 -inch sanitary sewer stub will accommodate the peak flow anticipated from potential
development that may occur, as long as the future development is consistent with the City's land use
plan. The proposed lift station and forcemain will be sized to accommodate this potential future flow.
A 12 -inch watermain exists in Carver Avenue along the north boundary of the project area. An 8 -inch
watermain is proposed to be installed to the south from the existing 12 -inch watermain, located at the
proposed intersection of Carver Avenue and Henry Lane. The 8 -inch watermain will be installed along
all roadways within the development to serve the residential units and for emergency services. To
improve circulation and redundancy in the water distribution system an 8 -inch watermain will be
installed from the end of the existing watermain on Heights Avenue to Henry Road.
The Developer will work with the utility companies to bring utility service to the site including gas,
electric, communications, and cable utilities. During project development, requirements to extend
other utilities down Henry Road and ultimately to the individual residential units will be identified.
Police, Fire Protection Services, and Public Education
Police and fire services will be provided by the City of Maplewood. New residents within the City
will impact the number of calls that are received and will require response by police and fire protection
services. The Maplewood Police Department estimates that one additional officer will be required, to
adequately respond to a population increase of 550 residents. The Maplewood Fire Department
estimates 550 new residents will require 1.3 medics per year. Public education will be available at
Maplewood Public Schools.
Based on estimated persons per dwelling unit outlined in the comprehensive plan (Table 5 of the
Comprehensive Plan) the detached and attached multiple dwelling housing mix within the proposed
development equates to population projection of approximately 550 people. The projected population
of a traditional single dwelling neighborhood of equivalent density is approximately 867people. Due
to the mix in housing styles, the estimated population of the proposal is approximately 36% lower than
a comparable single dwelling neighborhood. The 55 -plus age target market for Carver Crossing
consists of active adults in the "baby boom" generation. The development plan does not provide or
intend to accommodate senior assisted living or other long term care alternatives that could raise level
of service concerns related to police and fire services.
To accommodate the increased demand that residents will place on the public health, safety and
welfare services it should be noted that the annual tax impact of this project is an estimated 5268,000
of City revenue and $679,000 of school/county/state revenue. These estimates were derived by the
developer using the 2005 League of Minnesota Cities on -line City Tax w /credit Property Tax
Calculator and the estimated gross retail sales mean value per unit
Agenda Item K2
29. Cumulative impacts. Minnesota Rule part 4410.1700, subpart 7, item B requires that the RGU
consider the "cumulative potential effects of related or anticipated future projects" when
determining the need for an environmental impact statement. Identify any past, present or
reasonably foreseeable future projects that may interact with the project described in this EAW
in such a way as to cause cumulative impacts. Describe the nature of the cumulative impacts and
summarize any other available information relevant to determining whether there is potential
for significant environmental effects due to cumulative impacts (or discuss each cumulative
impact under appropriate items) elsewhere on this form).
As discussed in Responses 18 and 28 a sanitary sewer stub is proposed to be extended to east side of I-
494 from the proposed lift station. This sanitary sewer is being added to serve potential development
that may occur East of I -494 and south of Fish Creek. There have not been any development plans
discussed or proposed on the east side of I -494. A review of the City's Comprehensive Sewer Plan
and the topography in the area was completed to determine the most economical and environmentally
sound way to serve this portion of Maplewood. The option of crossing I -494 was suggested in the
City's Comprehensive Sewer Plan. When development plans are proposed, east of I -494 and south of
Fish Creek, the required environmental process will be completed to assess the environmental impacts
of the proposed development.
30. Other potential environmental impacts. If the project may cause any adverse environmental
impacts not addressed by items I to 28, identify and discuss them here, along with any proposed
mitigation.
No other environmental impacts have been identified.
31. Summary of issues. Do not complete this section if the EAW is being done for EIS scoping; instead,
address relevant issues in the draft Scoping Decision document, which must accompany the EA W.
List any impacts and issues identified above that may require further investigation before the
project is begun. Discuss any alternatives or mitigative measures that have been or may be
considered for these impacts and issues, including those that have been or may be ordered as
permit conditions.
• A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment will be completed based on the recommendations
presented above in the Phase I ESA. Findings from the Phase II ESA will determine the
specific mitigation required on the project site.
• The 02 acre wetland being removed will be mitigated at the 2:1 ratio required by the Wetland
Conservation Act.
• The developer has applied for a LOMA to amend the FIRM. Prior to any grading within the
floodplain as identified in the FIRM, the developer will need to receive the LOMA from
FEMA or have approval from the Ramsey - Washington Metro Watershed District and the City
of Maplewood
• Additional review of the stormwater management plan will be completed to verify that the
City requirements are satisfied.
• Soil boring and geotechnical investigation will be completed prior to the detailed design
portion of the proposed project.
• The development plans have been amended to avoid archeological findings located on the
proposed site. During the construction process this area will be monitored and marked as
necessary, to ensure that these areas are not disturbed.
• The proposed residential units will be designed to minimize noise impacts by providing
climate- controlled units and increasing wall insulation. In addition, any outside common
areas for the two condominium buildings located closest to I -494, will be located on the west
side of the buildings.
• The City of Maplewood's comprehensive plan or land use will need to be amended. This
would change the land use designation within the project area from R -1 single dwellings (4.1
units/acre) to R -3(L) multiple dwellings — low density (4.4 -6.3 units /acre). For the proposed
Agenda Item K2
plan, the City will require a conditional use permit (CUP) for a planned unit development
(PUD). The PUD will allow the following features to be included in the project: a mix of
housing styles, variety of setbacks, smaller lots for the detached homes, and many units to be
located,on private driveways. The PUD will allow for a site plan that will help preserve the
natural features that exist on the site.
RGU CERTIFICATION. The Environmental Quality Board will only accept SIGNED Environmental
Assessment Worksheets for public notice in the EQB Monitor.

SUMMARY
TO: City Manager
FROM: Tom Ekstrand, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Review — Comfort Bus
LOCATION: 1870 Rice Street North
DATE: March 3, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The conditional use permit (CUP) for a bus maintenance and repair garage for Comfort Bus
Company at 1870 Rice Street North is due for review.
BACKGROUND
On January 22, 2001, the city council approved the CUP for Comfort Buses repair garage. The
council has done four annual CUP reviews and at the last one, on February 14, 2005, they moved
to review it again in one year.
On December 12, 2005, the council moved to "accept the report of the city's traffic consultant on
the Rose lawn- Jackson area traffic issues, directed the community development director to
conduct a review of the CUP for Comfort Bus as provided by the city code, direct a letter to
SPRWS requesting assistance with routing of their truck traffic to their Rice Street facility and
restrict parking as recommended by the traffic engineer at the Rose lawn-Jackso n intersection."
The council also directed staff to arrange a neighborhood meeting for all involved parties to
continue working on resolving the traffic concerns.
DISCUSSION
On February 8, 2006, staff held a neighborhood meeting at the St. Paul Regional Water Services
(SPRWS) campus on Rice Street. This meeting was attended by approximately 18 residents,
John Blackstone of SPRWS, city staff, Council Person Rossbach, Tom Sohrweide of SEH and
representatives Comfort Bus, Schroeder Milk, the Roseville School District. A decision was made
for all parties to continue to monitor this matter and take steps to lessen traffic along Roselawn
Avenue
SUMMARY
Staff will continue to monitor the traffic matter. We are hopeful, with cooperation from all parties,
that the traffic concerns will be resolved.
The applicant has completed the bus shop /dispatch building and work is continuing on the office
building. Because the applicant has not yet finished the building construction and site work, the
city should review this CUP again in one year.
RECOMMENDATION
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager
FROM: Tom Ekstrand, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Review — Comfort Bus
LOCATION: 1870 Rice Street North
DATE: March 3, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The conditional use permit (CUP) for a bus maintenance and repair garage for Comfort Bus
Company at 1870 Rice Street North is due for review.
BACKGROUND
CUP Actions
January 22, 2001: The city council approved the CUP for the Comfort Bus repair garage. The
CUP was subject to the following conditions:
1. All construction shall follow the site plan approved by the city.
2. The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of council approval
or the permit shall become null and void. The council may extend this deadline for one year.
3. The city council shall review this permit in one year.
4. The applicant shall comply with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency requirements as they
relate to all applicable aspects of this vehicle repair operation.
August 14, 2001: The community design review board (CDRB) approved plans for Comfort Bus.
February 11, 2002, February 24, 2003, February 9, 2004 and February 14, 2005: The city council
reviewed this permit and moved to review it again in one year.
Traffic Study
On December 12, 2005, Tom Sohrweide, a traffic engineer with Short, Elliot and Hendrickson,
Inc., presented a traffic study to the city council regarding the bus traffic on Roselawn Avenue.
The council had ordered this study due to complaints from residents about the amount of bus
traffic because of Comfort Buses operations.
At that meeting, the council moved to "accept the report of the city's traffic consultant on the
Roselawn- Jackson area traffic issues, directed the community development director to conduct a
review of the CUP for Comfort Bus as provided by the city code, direct a letter to SPRWS
requesting assistance with routing of their truck traffic to their Rice Street facility and restrict
parking as recommended by the traffic engineer at the Roselawn - Jackson intersection." The
council also directed staff to arrange a neighborhood meeting for all involved parties to continue
working on resolving the traffic concerns.
Code Requirement
Section 44- 1100(a) of the zoning code states that CUPs shall be reviewed periodically by the city
council. The council may specify an indefinite term for a subsequent review or a specific term not
to exceed five years.
DISCUSSION
Neighborhood Meeting
On February 8, 2006, staff held a neighborhood meeting at the St. Paul Regional Water Services
(SPRWS) campus on Rice Street. This meeting was attended by approximately 18 residents,
John Blackstone of SPRWS, city staff, Council Person Rossbach, Tom Sohrweide of SEH and
representatives Comfort Bus, Schroeder Milk, the Roseville School District.
The concerns /requests that were expressed by residents were:
• Reroute busses to other streets and/or have returning busses use other streets.
• The bus exhaust is smelly. Are emission regulations being met?
• The busses increase road damage and shorten life span.
• Can load limits be applied?
• Bus drivers sometimes speed.
• SPRWS trucks cause occasional late night noise.
• SPRWS trucks don't always avoid the residential sections of Roselawn.
• Wasn't the CUP to only allow up to 45 busses? (one resident asked)
• Who should receive complaints?
These points were discussed and addressed by Mr. Rossow and his safety director,
Mr. Jan Vanderwall, of the Roseville School District office, Mr. Ernie Schroeder, of Schroeder
Milk, Mr. Blackstone and staff.
Reroute Busses
Mr. Rossow explained the schedules that they must keep. He said he would do what he could
restrict bus traffic in evenings and weekends from Roselawn. He also said that he can make a
policy that returning busses use alternate routes other than Roselawn.
Bus Exhaust
Mr. Rossow explained that their busses are designed to meet federal standards. There is no
continual testing as there had been in Minnesota. Mr. AN explained about a recent temperature
inversion the twin cities experienced. Vehicle exhaust was simply "locked" in place and not
dispersed by winds. Such cases increase air quality problems. The bottom line is that winds
most often disperse fumes, but these cannot be controlled other than by lessening the bus traffic.
Increased Road Damaae
Mr. AN explained that large vehicles like busses and trucks do cause more wear and tear on
roads than automobiles. He further explained, though, that a much greater cause of road
damage is a winter like this one. This winter, with the long duration of freeze and thaw cycles,
roadway surfaces have been severely broken throughout the city, not just on Roselawn Avenue.
Mr. AN also explained the city's street maintenance program and noted that Roselawn will be
continually repaired each year as needed. Mr. AN expressed his opinion that Roselawn is not
experiencing any extensive damage that is not normal for collector streets. The road design was
such that Roselawn should last at least another 20+ years before anything major is required.
Load Limits
Mr. AN explained that we cannot apply load limits to Roselawn Avenue. This is due to the use of
State Aid Funds by Ramsey County in the construction process. As a collector route, Roselawn
Avenue is eligible for these funds. In accepting these funds, it is agreed that load limits cannot be
applied unless a finding of extensive damage is occurring. That has not been found. The city
accepted Roselawn Avenue as a turn -back from the county and must abide by the terms or pay
back the $1.0+ million in funds used for the construction.
Speeders
Mr. Rossow said that he would take disciplinary action if his drivers are speeding. He asked
residents to try to get bus numbers and to call him if they spot busses going faster than the speed
limit.
SPRWS Evenina Activities
One resident stated that water utility trucks were clanking tail gates at 1 a.m. recently. This
resident did say, however, that it was an isolated occurrence and not a typical problem.
Mr. Blackstone said that there would not be middle -of- the -night activity unless there was a main
break requiring attention. It was agreed that this was not a serious matter. Mr. Blackstone said
that residents could call him directly if there were recurring problems.
SPRWS Trucks
Mr. Blackstone said that he would direct drivers to make every attempt to go west on Roselawn
and not past homes as often as they can. There will be times that they need to turn east
depending on urgencies and needs.
Number of Busses Allowed by CUP
Staff checked the original application materials for Comfort Bus. There was not any mention by
the applicant or noted in the staff report that the maximum number of busses proposed or
required would be 45, as believed by one resident. Mr. Vanderwall, of Roseville School District,
noted that Roselawn Avenue had 22 busses normally scheduled before Comfort Bus relocated,
due to the extent and location of area schools and the number of area residents. The road will
never be bus free due to the existing conditions.
Who to Call?
It was made clear that residents should call and report problems that occur. Mr. Rossow told
residents not to hesitate to call himself, his safety directors or his dispatchers if there are
complaints. Other numbers given to the residents were those for Ernie Schroeder, Tom
Ekstrand, John Blackstone and Jan Vanderwall should their attention be needed on a future
matter.
What Next?
Council Person Rossbach explained that this issue will take time to resolve. It was terrific that so
many of the local businesses which operate large vehicles were present to talk to the residents.
This shows great cooperation and a wish to resolve the traffic concerns. Mr. Rossbach said the
city will continue to monitor this issue. Mr. Ahl noted that staff has been authorized to continue
monitoring Roselawn Avenue and will do a follow -up study in the spring to see if issues have
improved.
Since the meeting on February 8, staff received one complaint from Bill McCoskey stating that the
traffic has not lessened along Roselawn Avenue. I informed Mr. Rossow of this.
Mr. Rossow also sent a letter to staff indicating the steps he is taking to try to reduce the bus -
traffic from Roselawn Avenue. Refer to the attachments.
SUMMARY
Staff will continue to monitor the traffic matter. We are hopeful, with cooperation from all parties,
that the traffic concerns will be resolved.
The applicant has completed the bus shop /dispatch building and work is continuing on the office
building. Because the applicant has not yet finished the building construction and site work, the
city should review this CUP again in one year.
RECOMMENDATION
Review the conditional use permit for the bus maintenance and repair garage for Comfort Bus
Company at 1870 Rice Street again in one year.

AGENDA NO. K4
TO: City Manager
FROM: Finance Director
RE: Purchasing Policies
DATE: March 7, 2006
At the February 13 and 27 Council meetings there were discussions about alternative
ways to deal with city purchases from employee-owned companies. Staff was directed
to establish a purchasing policy addressing this issue and defining what ownership
interest means with regard to that purchasing policy. The recommended policy is as
follows:
Before making a purchase in excess of $200 from, or entering into a contract
with, a business entity owned wholly, or in part, by an employee of the City of
Maplewood, City employees must obtain at least two (2) price quotes which
are to be kept on file in the Finance Department for one (1) year after their
receipt. On purchases under $10,000, price quotes can be copies of the
latest price listings, excerpts from current catalogs or written quotes provided
by vendor. On purchases totaling $10,000 to $50,000 there must be two
written quotations from prospective vendors. Before the purchase is made, it
must be reviewed by the supervisor of the employee making the purchase to
confirm that the decision to make a purchase from, or enter into a contract
with, the business entity owned wholly, or in part, by the City employee is
based on rational economic factors including, but not limited to, price and
availability of goods and services. Two price quotes are not needed when
services are purchased from an independent contractor who is a recreation
referee, official or instructor.
A business entity owned wholly, or in part, by a City employee shall be
defined as: an entity organized for profit, including an individual, sole
proprietorship, partnership, corporation, joint venture, association, or
cooperative in which the City employee or a member of the City employee's
immediate family has a financial interest excluding interests consisting solely
of publicly issued stock holdings constituting equal to or lesser than 5% of
the entity's total public stock issue.
A member the City employee's immediate family is defined as: the City
employee's spouse, the City employee's child, the City employee's parent, or
the City employee's sibling.

RE: Change of Manager Intoxicating Liquor License
Introduction
Sherry Peake has submitted an application for an on -sale intoxicating liquor license
Keller Golf Course Clubhouse, located at 2166 Maplewood Drive.
Background
Ms. Peake was raised in the New Brighton area and attended Irondale High School. She
has been residing with her husband in Minneapolis for the past Five years and owns and
operates JRP Concessions.
All three of Ms. Peake's references made very positive comments about her. In fact, one
said that she has "excellent character." Another stated, "She is an extremely responsible
person."
Chief Thomalla met with Ms. Peake to discuss measures to eliminate the sale of alcohol
to underage persons, general security and retail crime issues, and the Maplewood Liquor
Ordinances.
In the course of this investigation, state criminal history files were checked along with
contacts and warrants in the Cities of Maplewood, St. Paul, New Brighton, Minneapolis
and Lino Lakes. Additionally, Hennepin, Ramsey and Anoka Counties were also
checked.
Recommendation
The on -sale intoxicating liquor license is submitted to Council for approval.

SUBJECT: Approve Settlement Claim for Sewer Backup at 2621 Ariel Street North
with Joe and Susan Grieman
DATE: March 6, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The residents at 2621 Ariel experienced a sewer backup on December 12, 2005. They are requesting a
settlement of claims. Approval of the settlement is recommended.
Background
The attached letter from Joe and Susan Grieman requests a settlement of claims for the sewer backup on
Ariel Street on December 12, 2005. The City's insurance company has denied liability for the backup;
however, the settlement of this claim seems reasonable. The total settlement amount requested by Joe
and Susan is $3,021.01. The City budgets an amount to cover claims each year within the Sewer
Maintenance Program. The City has approved claim settlements in the past (most recent on January 10,
2005 for $5,000) to help defray homeowner expenses.
Sewer backups into homeowner's basements and property are one of the most difficult issues to address.
Most homeowners do not understand that the City cannot guarantee flow within our sewer lines. We
attempt to do preventive maintenance to reduce the chances of backups occurring; however, a guarantee
of flow is impossible. The sewer backup was in the City's system as noted by the Grieman's letter. We do
not know what caused the backup, but our crews responded immediately upon receiving notice from the
police dispatchers on the backup call. The likely cause of the backup is usually either disposable diapers
being flushed into the system upstream of the backup or a local homeowner having their private service
cleanup and a root plug catching on something in the pipe. Our maintenance crews were unable to
determine the cause on Ariel when they removed the backup.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the settlement agreement with Joe and Susan Grieman at
2621 Ariel Street at $3,021.01 and authorize payment of said amount from the Sewer Fund.

Agenda Item L2
To: Chuck Alh
February 8, 2006
From: Joe and Suzy Grieman
As you are aware, on December 12th, the City of Maplewood had a problem with their sewer line
on Ariel (just off County Rd C) that resulted in my entire basement being flooded with sewage.
The City acknowledged their line was the source of the problem and seat a crew to clean and
disinfect the basement and remove the damaged carpeting. They instructed us to contact the
League of Minnesota Cities to file a claim and have the damages assessed. The league
subsequently determined that every though the City line was the source of the problem, the City
was not liable for the damages.
We are preparing to pursue our claim in Conciliation Court, but, we are first offering to settle the
claim for a portion of the damages. We would like the City to reimburse us for the cost of re-
carpeting and for charges from Ken's Sewer. We are including the charges from Ken's because
when we called them about the problem, they said it sounded like a main line problem and that
we should Cali the City. When the City refused to send a crew, Ken's cage to our home to check
our line and verified it was clear to the street. Had the City responded initially, this service call
would have been avoided.
The carpeting estimate varies significantly depending on the type of carpet selected (see
attached). We have selected a lower priced carpet with an estimated cost of $2626.01.The
charges for Ken's Sewer are $185. The total settlement we are willing to accept is $3021,01. We
believe this a very reasonable offer as it only includes reimbursement for the two most basic
components of the damages. Please note that we are not going after the loss of time from work to
deal with the situation or future expenses that may occur (mold, rotting wood work, ect). We just
want our basement back to the way it was prior to the sewage back up.
Please let us know as soon as possible 9 you are agreeable to the settlement. We are expecting
a baby on February 15th and would like to move ahead quickly. We hope to file our Conciliation
Court claim next week if you are unwilling to agree to the settlement offer. You can reach me at
612- 701 -9509 if you have any questions or treed any clarifications.
Thank You.

SUBJECT: Approve Noise Variance for Ramsey County to Perform Night Time Road
Maintenance on Beam Avenue between Hazelwood and White Bear
Avenue
DATE: March 6, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Ramsey County is proposing to mill and overlay Beam Avenue between Hazelwood and White Bear
Avenue. Due to heavy traffic volumes, the work needs to be completed during night time hours. Approval
to construct at night is recommended.
Background
The attached letter from Ramsey County requests City approval to construct this roadway improvement
between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. for a two- to three -week period in June, July or August 2006. The City's noise
control ordinance Section 18 -111 generally excludes public improvement projects (see Section 1 -19,
Sections (6) and (7)); however, Ramsey County has requested City approval prior to proceeding with final
plans for the project.
This section of Beam Avenue is generally commercial /industrial in nature. Heavy day time traffic volumes
would make construction difficult during normal construction hours. Approval of this request is
recommended.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Ramsey County request to allow night time
construction on Beam Avenue between Hazelwood and White Bear Avenue for a three -week period during
June through August 2006.

Maplewood, MN 55109
Dear Mr. Ahl
LT'- •.
As part of our 2006 major maintenance program, Ramsey County is proposing to mill
and overlay Beam Avenue between Hazelwood Street and White Bear Avenue. Due to
the high traffic volumes, heavy turning movements, and the close proximity to
Maplewood Mall, we are proposing to do most of the work at night. Therefore, we are
requesting a noise variance for this project.
The scope of the work includes loop detector replacement, milling, bituminous paving
and pavement markings. County forces will do the paving with the rest of the work done
by contractors.
We are proposing that the milling and paving be constructed at night. Night work hours
are proposed to be 10:00 p.m. to 6 :00 a.m. The milling and paving is expected to take 2
to 3 weeks. We have not put our paving schedule together yet, but expect the work will
be done in June, July or August of 2006.
The loop detectors will be sawed in prior to milling. This work may begin as early as
May. The loop detector replacement work will be done during the day.
Please call me at (651) 266 -7192 or Jerry Auge at (651) 266 -7193 if you need more
information.
Sincerely,
Kathy Jaschke

SUMMARY MEMORANDUM

FROM:
Ken Roberts, Planner
SUBJECT:
CUP Revision, Parking Reduction Authorization and Design
Approval
PROJECT:
Menards
LOCATION:
2280 Maplewood Drive
DATE:
March 3, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Robert Geske, of Menards, Inc., is proposing to build a 16,105- square -foot garden center
addition on the south side of the Menards store. Refer to the applicant's narrative statement
and the maps in the project review memo. The proposed plans also show changes to the
existing parking lot and changes to the exterior of the building.
In addition, they are proposing to update the front of the store. This would include changing the
existing mansard and signage over the main entrance and adding four fieldstone and timber
columns to support the new canopy. Finally, Menards wants to change the signage on the
building.
Requests
Mr. Geske is requesting city approval of:
1. A conditional use permit (CUP) revision to enlarge the building and amend the site plan.
The city code requires council approval of a CUP revision for an owner to expand or revise a
store or site for which a CUP exists.
2. A parking - reduction authorization for 50 spaces. The code requires 451 spaces for the
store. Menards is proposing to have 401 parking stalls.
3. The site and building design plans.
DISCUSSION
City staff is supportive of the changes proposed for Menards. As with almost all projects, there
are details for staff to work out with the applicant (such as approval of the final building plans)
before construction starts on the garden center. These, however, do not present any serious
concerns for staff.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit revision, the parking reduction
authorization and the project design plans for the proposed garden center for Menards.

DATE: March 8, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Menards, Inc., is proposing to build a 16,105- square -foot garden center addition on the south side
of the existing Menards store at 2280 Maplewood Drive. Refer to the applicant's narrative on
pages 9 and 10, the maps and plans on pages 11 -16 and the separate project plans. They are
proposing an exterior of glass panels, emerald green accent panels and a wrought iron fence for
the garden center.
The proposed plans also show changes to the existing parking lot and changes to the exterior of
the building. Specifically, Menards would eliminate 17 parking spaces and reconfigure the parking
lot so that all of the spaces would be at 90- degrees to the drive aisles. Refer to the site plan.
In addition, they are proposing to update the front of the store. This would include changing the
existing mansard and signage over the main entrance and adding four fieldstone and timber
columns to support the new canopy. Finally, Menards wants to change the signage on the building.
Requests
Mr. Geske is requesting city approval of:
1. A conditional use permit (CUP) revision to enlarge the building and amend the site plan. Refer
to the project narrative on pages 9 and 10. The city code requires council approval of a CUP
revision for an owner to expand or revise a store or site for which a CUP exists.
2. A parking- reduction authorization for 50 spaces. The code requires 451 spaces for the store.
Menards is proposing to have 401 parking stalls. Refer to the narrative on page 9.
3. The site and building design plans. (See the maps and plans on pages 11 -16 and the enclosed
project plans.)
BACKGROUND
October 25, 1999: The city council approved a CUP revision for a building expansion, site plan
changes and the project architectural, site and landscape plans. Refer to the council minutes in
the attachment on pages 19 - 23.
November 27, 2000: The council reviewed the CUP and moved to review it again in one year
April 9, 2001: The council approved revised plans for the exterior of the new addition and required
additional landscaping on the Highway 36 side of the building. This approval was subject to five
conditions of approval. (Refer to the council minutes on pages 24 and 25.)
November 26, 2001: The council reviewed this CUP and moved to review it again in one year.
December 9, 2002: The council reviewed this CUP and agreed to review it again in one year.
January 7, 2004: The council reviewed this CUP and agreed to review it again in one year.
January 30, 2004: The city approved plans for expansion of the exterior storage area and
relocation of the fire gate on the east side (rear) of the building.
DISCUSSION
CUP Revision
The proposed site revision with the addition of the garden center will meet the requirements for a
CUP and should improve the store and the overall site. It should not have any impact on the
adjacent residential neighborhood.
Parking
The applicant is requesting that the city approve a reduction of 50 (from 451 to 401) in the number
of parking spaces for the store. They want to reconfigure the parking lot in front of the store to
make the traffic flow smoother, but this redesign would result in the loss of parking spaces.
Menards has gotten by, essentially, with the main parking area in front of the building since 1988
(when the city had approved a parking reduction authorization). The proposed garden center
addition would need 80 spaces according to the code (if the city treated it as regular retail space).
Menards, however, is now using the location of the proposed garden center for retail sales and
outdoor storage as approved earlier by the city. As such, it should not generate additional parking
needs for the store.
Site Drainage / Shoreland Requirements
The site is within the shoreland boundary of Keller Lake. Presently the site has 95 percent
impervious - surface coverage. The shoreland code requires a maximum coverage of 40 percent.
This project will not change the amount of impervious surface on the site as the addition for the
garden center would be constructed over a part of the existing paved storage area.
Building Design Changes and Concerns
For the garden center, they are proposing an exterior of glass panels, emerald green accent
panels and a wrought iron fence near the entrance and the parking lot. This center and its design
should be a nice addition to the store.
In addition, as part of this project, Menards is proposing to update the front of the store. This would
include changing the existing mansard and signage over the main entrance and adding four
fieldstone and timber columns to support the new canopy. Menards also wants to change the
signage on the building.
Staff is concerned about the proposed appearance of the north building elevation. In 2001, the city
council required Menards to include the green stripe on the north elevation when they approved
2
the store project plans. Menards is proposing to keep the green stripe on the building. As an
alternative, they could add more landscaping to the north elevation to help enhance the elevation.
In response to comments the CDRB made at their March 1, 2006 meeting, Menards revised the
project plans for the garden center. I have included their latest plans (date - stamped March 8, 2006)
and a letter from Robert Geske of Menards explaining the changes they made to the plans.
Fire Marshal's Concerns
Menards must keep the perimeter of the building accessible for fire emergencies. The applicant
should arrange with the fire marshal for access through the gate behind the building in the case of
emergencies. In addition, Menards needs to have a monitored fire protection system and shall
provide a floor plan of their store and a fire department lock box at the main entrance.
City Engineer's Comment
Menards should provide a gate and clear access to the sanitary sewer manhole on the site as part
of this request.
Commission Actions
On February 6, 2006, the planning commission recommended approval of the of the proposed
CUP revision for Menards.
On March 1, 2006, the community design review board (CDRB) recommended approval of the
project design plans, subject to several conditions of approval.
RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Adopt the resolution on pages 26 - 28. This resolution approves a conditional use permit
revision for Menards at 2280 Maplewood Drive to add a 16,105- square -foot garden center to
the existing store. The city bases this approval on the findings required by the code. Approval
of this CUP revision is subject to the following conditions (additions are underlined and
deletions are crossed out):
1. Adherence to the site plan date- stamped March 8, 2006 May 5, 1999. The director of
community development may approve minor changes.

(2) All other screening fences that abut the residential lots shall be 14 feet tall.
(3) All screening fences shall be constructed of vertical boards of the same dimension,
color and material.
b. No material on the storage racks, adjacent to the fence behind 1101 and 1115 County
Road B, shall extend above the 14 -foot -tall fence.
c. No more than 2 1 /2 feet of the 17'12 -foot -tall interior storage racks shall be visible from

8. Menards shall store all their materials within the fenced storage area.
9. Sanitation facilities shall be provided by Menards for the employees.
10. 4-3-. The proposed building addition and site work must be substantially started within
one year of council approval or the permit shall become null and void. The council may
extend this deadline for one year.
11. The perimeter of the building must be kept accessible for fire emergencies. The
applicant shall arrange with the fire marshal for access through the gate behind the building
in the case of emergencies.
B. Approve a parking - reduction authorization for Menards at 2280 Maplewood Drive to have 50
spaces fewer than the code requires. (The city code requires 451 parking spaces and
Menards is proposing 401 parking spaces.) Approval is because:
The required number of spaces is excessive. Menards has gotten by, essentially, with the
main parking area in front of the building since 1988. Menards customers do not typically
use other available parking areas on the site.
2. The proposed garden center addition would need 80 spaces according to the code.
However, Menards is currently using this same area for retail sales and outdoor storage as
approved earlier by the city.
As a condition of approval of this request, Menards shall have employees or others provide traffic
control and direction assistance in the parking lot on busy shopping days.
4
C. Approve the site plan date - stamped March 8, 2006, and the building elevations date - stamped
March 8, 2006, for the 16,105- square -foot garden center addition to Menards at 2280
Maplewood Drive. Approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. Repeat this review in two years if the city has not issued a building permit for this
project.
2. Before getting a building permit, the applicant shall:
a. Submit grading, drainage, utility and erosion control plans to the city engineering
department for approval. The city engineering department should review the plans for
the possibility of Menards implementing some or additional types of best management
practices to help treat storm water on the site.
b. Revise the site plans for staff approval to provide enough handicap - accessible parking
spaces to comply with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements.
c. Submit for staff approval, consistent elevations and site plans that correlate to each
other, based on the plans date- stamped March 8, 2006. The plans date - stamped
January 17, 2006, and elevations date - stamped February 6, 2006, are inconsistent and
difficult to read.
d. Submit a revised wrought -iron fence elevation showing that the proposed decorative
lights have been removed from the fence.
e. Submit a landscaping plan showing the following:
(1) All existing landscaping on the north side of the building. This plan should reflect all
landscape materials that are healthy, in poor health, or dead. The purpose of this plan
is to ensure that all landscaping required previously by the city in this location has been
planted and is healthy and thriving.
(2) Work with staff to implement landscaping in front of or near the new garden center.
If landscaping in this area is not feasible, work with staff to implement additional
landscaping throughout the site.
f. Submit to city staff a cash escrow or an irrevocable letter of credit for all required
exterior improvements. The amount shall be 150 percent of the cost of the work.
3. The applicant shall complete the following before occupying the building addition:
a. Menards shall provide a gate and clear access to the sanitary sewer manhole on the
site as part of this request.
b. Paint any new rooftop mechanical equipment to match the building color if the units are
visible. (code requirement)
c. The city waives the trash - dumpster screening requirement unless the dumpsters would
be visible to the public. If Menards wants to keep their dumpsters outside, then they
shall provide an enclosure for them using the same materials and color as the building.
5
d. Provide site - security lighting as required by the code. The light source, including the
lens covering the bulb, shall be concealed so not to cause any nuisance to drivers or
neighbors.
e. Meet all the requirements of the fire marshal including:
(1) Keeping the perimeter of the building accessible for fire emergencies. The applicant
should arrange with the fire marshal for access through the gate behind the building
in the case of emergencies.
(2) Installing a monitored fire protection system.
(3) Providing a floor plan of the store and a fire department lock box at the main
entrance.
f. Verify that all existing required landscaping is healthy and growing, and replace the
landscaping if it is not healthy and growing. Plant all other landscaping required with
this approval.
4. If any required work is not done, the city may allow temporary occupancy if:
a. The city determines that the work is not essential to the public health, safety or welfare.
b. The above- required letter of credit or cash escrow is held by the city for all required
exterior improvements. The owner or contractor shall complete any unfinished
landscaping by June 1 of the next year if the building is occupied in the fall or winter,
or within six weeks of occupancy if the building is occupied in the spring or summer.
5. All work shall follow the approved plans. The director of community development may
approve minor changes.
6. Signs are not part of this approval. The applicant shall submit any requests for new or
revised signs to staff for sign permits.

V. PUBLIC HEARING
a. Conditional Use Permit Revision — Menards (2280 Maplewood Drive) (7:06 -7:26 p.m.)
Mr. Roberts said Robert Geske, of Menards, Inc. is proposing to build a 16,105- square -foot
garden center addition on the south side of the Menards store. They are proposing an exterior of
glass panels, emerald green accent panels and a wrought iron fence for the garden center.
The proposed plans also show changes to the existing parking lot and changes to the exterior of
the building. Specifically, Menards would eliminate 17 parking spaces and reconfigure the parking
lot so that all of the spaces would be at 90- degrees to the drive aisles.
In addition, they are proposing to update the front of the store. This would include changing the
existing mansard and signage over the main entrance and adding four fieldstone and timber
columns to support the new canopy.
Mr. Geske is asking for a conditional use permit revision, a parking reduction authorization for 50
spaces, and the site and building design plans to be approved.
Commissioner Trippler said he spoke with people at Menards regarding the parking reduction on
site and he doesn't think it will be a big issue. However, he asked if it would be appropriate to add
a condition that Menards should hire a parking lot assistant to help with the traffic flow during the
holiday season or during the busier times of the year?
Chairperson Fischer asked the applicant to address the commission.
Em
Planning Commission -2-
Minutes of 02 -06 -06
Mr. Robert Geske, Real Estate Associate with Menard, Inc., 4777 Menard Drive, Eau Claire,
Wisconsin, addressed the commission. He said Mr. Roberts did an excellent job with his report
and presentation. This is a fairly simple project if the city allows them to go forward with it.
Menards looks forward to bringing this garden center addition into the city.
Commissioner Grover said since most of the activity for a garden center mostly takes place in the
spring, summer and early fall, he asked what Menards would be using the garden center space
for during the late fall and into the winter months?
Mr. Geske said a lot of Menards stores turn the garden center into an area to sell Christmas trees
and other things during the off season months. If there were to be any storage in the garden
center it would have to be stacked appropriately and would be done according to the city
requirements. The garden center would be used for rocks, blocks, bricks, plants, flowers, trees,
and other things like that during the season.
Chairperson Fischer asked if Menards would have any problem with the request made by
Commissioner Trippler regarding hiring someone to assist with the traffic flow during the busier
times?
Mr. Geske said he would have to take that back on advisement to the real estate committee but
he believes Menards does that already.
Chairperson Fischer asked if anybody in the audience wanted to address the commission.
Mr. Will Rossbach, city councilmember and Maplewood Resident, 1386 County Road C East,
Maplewood, addressed the commission. He said at a previous planning commission meeting
Commissioner Grover said it would be nice to know what the city council might be looking for
regarding certain projects. Mr. Rossbach said in the past the concern regarding Menards has
been the residential homes along County Road B which is the reason the tall fence is there.
Those residents may show up at one of the city meetings to see what the proposal for Menards is
about. There was an oversight that occurred with the last Menards building addition project. There
was an approved plan for Menards and they built a building that was not the same plan that had
been approved by the city council. It wasn't discovered until the building was already started and
he wants to make sure that Menards has crystal clear plans for the city and that Menards follows
the approved plans so this problem doesn't occur again.
Chairperson Fischer asked if anyone in the audience wanted to speak.
Nobody came forward.
Chairperson Fischer closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Trippler moved to adopt the resolution on pages 26 -28 of the staff report. This
resolution approves a conditional use permit revision for Menards at 2280 Maplewood Drive to
add a 16,105- square -foot garden center to the existing store. The city bases this approval on the
findings required by the code. Approval of this CUP revision is subject to the following conditions

Commissioner Trippler moved to approve a parking - reduction authorization for Menards at 2280
Maplewood Drive to have 51 spaces fewer than the code requires. (The city code requires 451
parking spaces and Menards is proposing 401 parking spaces.) Approval is because:
The required number of spaces is excessive. Menards has gotten by, essentially, with the
main parking area in front of the building since 1988. Menards customers do not typically use
other available parking areas on the site.
2. The proposed garden center addition would need 80 spaces according to the code. However,
Menards is currently using this same area for retail sales and outdoor storage as approved
earlier by the city.
3. Durinq busy holiday seasons, Menards shall hire and use a parking lot assistant to help with
the traffic flow in the parking lot.
Commissioner Pearson seconded. Ayes — Desai, Dierich, Fischer, Grover,

The motion passed.

VI. DESIGN REVIEW
a. Menards — 2280 Maplewood Drive
Ms. Finwall said Mr. Robert Geske, of Menard's Inc., is proposing to build a 16,105- square -foot
garden center addition on the south side of the Menards store. They are proposing an exterior
of glass panels, emerald green accent panels and a wrought iron fence for the garden center.
The proposed plans also show changes to the existing parking lot and changes to the exterior
of the building. Specifically, Menards would eliminate 17 parking spaces and reconfigure the
parking lot so that all of the spaces would be at 90- degrees to the drive aisles. In addition, they
are proposing to update the front of the store. This would include changing the existing
mansard and signage over the main entrance and adding four fieldstone and timber columns
to support the new canopy. Menards wants to change the signage on the building. Ms. Finwall
said the planning commission recommended the CUP and the parking reduction to the city
council on February 6, 2006.
Board member Ledvina clarified that the CDRB would not be discussing the parking lot
reduction?
Ms. Finwall said the planning commission made a recommendation on the parking reduction
but the CDRB can comment on that as part of the site plan.
Board member Ledvina said regarding the recommendation for additional architectural
features on the north fagade, the elevations provided really don't reflect the existing conditions
with the extensive tiered landscaping that is on the north elevation. He asked if that
recommendation accounts for the tiered landscaping?
Ms. Finwall said initially Menards submitted a plan with the green stripe removed and that is
where the concern came about and as the planning process went on, the city found out the
green stripe would remain. That was taking into account the landscaping which was a
34
Community Design Review Board 2
Minutes 3 -1 -2006
condition of the CDRB in 2001. With that in mind staff thought it would be a nice element
inclusive of the landscaping.
Board member Ledvina said when you look at that elevation it would be easy to dress it up but
the elevation does not represent the existing condition along the north facade.
Ms. Finwall said she wished she would have taken a photo of the existing tiered landscaping
conditions.
Board member Schurke said he is personally not in favor of ornamenting the north elevation
with these columns. This is a big box building and expresses itself that way. He would like to
see if some element of landscaping occur at the entrance to the building since this is a
landscaping /garden center and it has a hard scape entrance to the building.
Board member Shankar had no comments at this time.
Chairperson Olson asked the applicant to address the board.
Mr. Mark Lee, representing Menards, 2280 Maplewood Drive, Maplewood, addressed the
board. The other representative for Menards, Joel has fallen ill and could not be here this
evening. As far as whether or not there will be landscaping in front of the garden center, what
is shown on the garden center elevations is a low wall with the polycarbonate panels and glass
and the accent panels above it. He said what Menards is proposing is an improvement over
what is currently there. He would hate to make the assumption that there would be any other
landscaping that is not already represented on the plan.
Chairperson Olson asked if the entry to the landscaping area would only be accessible through
the store or would it be accessible through the wrought iron fence? It is unclear on the plans.
Mr. Lee said he has photos of another Menards garden center that was built to represent how
this proposal would look. Mr. Lee gave the photos to staff to put on the screen.
Chairperson Olson asked if there were any building materials to present to the board for
review?
Mr. Lee presented the board with two building samples. He said the emerald green metal
accent panels would be for canopy structures, and the clear glass sample would be for the
glass panels for the garden center walls. They would also be using a black wrought iron fence.
Access to the garden center can be obtained both through the Menards store as well as
through the garden center entrance itself.
The board was not clear how far the wrought iron fence and the roofline of the garden center
would go because the plan and the building elevation do not correlate, therefore there was
much discussion back and forth regarding this as well as other issues.
Board member Schurke said it appears to be impossible to have four canopies into the
entrance area because on the elevation plan the entrance shows only one canopy above it.
Chairperson Olson said she wasn't sure these plans were to scale.
35
Community Design Review Board 3
Minutes 3 -1 -2006
Mr. Lee said he didn't have a scale with him but he has no reason not to believe this wasn't
exactly what Menards is proposing.
The board did not have a scale to measure the plan either.
Chairperson Olson asked what Menards proposed to do with the existing fence.
Mr. Lee said the wood fence would remain. He said there are wood pallets and shelves
stacked against the fence.
Chairperson Olson asked if they would be painting or staining the wood fence to make it look
more attractive.
Mr. Lee said they propose to leave the fence natural. When you use stain it becomes blotchy
and paint peels so they would leave the fence in its natural condition. Some stores use a chain
link fence which would be see through and you can see the lumber supply, but they prefer to
use a wood fence to block the view for the residents.
Again there was a lot of time spent discussing the inconsistencies that the board found on the
plans.
Chairperson Olson said personally she does not have a problem with the design, she has a
problem with the presentation and how it translates.
Ms. Finwall said the scale of the canopies does not correspond to the plan and she doesn't
believe four canopies would fit there. Ms. Finwall said perhaps the CDRB could vote on this
proposal and make it a condition to have the plans clarified in better detail.
Board member Ledvina asked what Menards reaction was to the staff condition labeled C. 2.
b. which states Revise building elevations to keep or add major design elements on the north
elevation. This could include keeping the green stripe on the building or adding fieldstone and
timber columns as proposed for the front entrance.
Mr. Lee said frankly he didn't think this would be an issue and he thought the plan was
essentially acceptable as it was. If it's the preference to deviate from this plan he would hate to
delay this development. He said maybe he could call Mr. Geske and ask what the preference
was if it is okay with the board.
Board member Ledvina said the staff report has been written for 1 month now.
Mr. Lee said Mr. Geske is home sick this evening and Mr. Geske knows this plan front to back.
Board member Shankar said Menards is proposing four new columns on the west side so it is
the same type of treatment on the north side as proposed by staff. There is terraced keystone
landscaping there and these timber columns may fall right on top of the landscaping. He said
the planters are five feet from the building.
Board member Ledvina said just to update you Mr. Lee, Menards was required to have the
terraced keystone landscaping because Menards built their building five feet taller than what
was allowed. 36
Community Design Review Board 4
Minutes 3 -1 -2006
Chairperson Olson said one of the reasons the board is so strict tonight is because the city has
had problems with Menards Inc. in the past. The CDRB approved a building and Menards built
the building taller than what was approved. The landscaped tiers were added on the north side
of the building as a condition to make the height of the building appear not so tall. The CDRB
wanted to require more but were unable to. There were very strong feelings there because
Menards did not accurately represent what was constructed. That is one of the reasons the
board is paying such close attention to this garden center proposal this evening. She said she
is not particularly interested in seeing the columns added to the north side but what she would
like to see is that the landscaping is cared for and enhanced. She has noticed a lot of the
bushes have died and it seems to her if the landscaping was fortified more the columns would
not be necessary. Personally she would prefer the columns to be near the doorway to attract
attention and get the customers in and out of the store. If columns are placed near a service
door for example that would be distracting for customers.
Board member Schurke said he would concur with those statements. He would also
recommend to staff that the board should have a scale ruler for proposals like this. When there
are issues that are unclear the board would have a scale ruler on hand to verify the scale of
things. Personally he would rather see Menards invest the money that they would have put into
the columns and invest it into additional landscaping on the site. Including doing some
landscaping to soften the whole parking lot experience.
Board member Schurke said he would also like to see something done in terms of the storm
water management on the site with the reduction in the parking requirements and with the
adjacency to Keller Lake.
Chairperson Olson thought those were very good observations to bring forward.
Mr. Lee asked if Menards would have to bring these changes back to the CDRB for approval?
Ms. Finwall said that's up to the CDRB if they want to see the revisions to the plans or not.
Otherwise the board could recommend that staff review the changes for approval and then this
could proceed to the city council.
Board member Schurke said if it's appropriate he would recommend in order to not delay the
process any longer than necessary if the conditions and changes are clear enough, staff could
review the changes on behalf of the CDRB so it can be moved on to the city council.
Board member Ledvina said this would go onto the city council next.
Chairperson Olson said Menards can appeal the board's decision if they are not happy with
the board's recommendation.
Board member Shankar asked staff when this would be heard by the city council?
Ms. Finwall said March 13, 2006.
Board member Schurke said he would like to have the light post removed from the wrought
iron fence. He thinks it would look nicer without it and he also has concerns about light
pollution. 37
Community Design Review Board 5
Minutes 3 -1 -2006
Mr. Lee said personally he likes the decorative light post on the wrought iron fence. It would
only use a 75 watt bulb and would not cast a lot of light, it's only meant to add some
ornamentation to the fence.
Chairperson Olson asked how many light posts there would be on the fences?
Mr. Lee said he doesn't see them shown on the plan.
Board member Schurke said they are shown on the site plan on page 13 of the staff report.
Board member Schurke said he would be happy without them on the fence at all.
Board member Ledvina said he would agree the light posts should not be there.
Chairperson Olson said she would also agree they should not be there.
Board member Schurke said he would recommend that some type of storm water
management be looked at for this site. It struck him that this site is 95% impervious.
Board member Ledvina said this site is grandfathered in and that is why there is so much
impervious surface.
Chairperson Olson said that could be added to condition C. 2. a.
Board member Ledvina moved to approve the site plan date - stamped January 17, 2006, and
the building elevations date - stamped February 6, 2006, for the 16,105- square -foot garden
center addition to Menards at 2280 Maplewood Drive. Approval is subject to the following

Agenda Item L5
MEMORANDUM
TO: Richard Fursman, City Manager
FROM: Karen Guilfoile, City Clerk
Police Chief David Thomalla
DATE: March 8, 2006
RE: Predatory Offender Ordinance
Introduction
The City currently has no ordinance in place directing what areas sexual offenders and
sexual predators are prohibited from establishing temporary or permanent residence
within the City limits.
This following "draft" ordinance is submitted to be a springboard for council
conversation and an opportunity to express concerns with the ordinance. Staff has
submitted a City map showing prohibited locations as defined by the ordinance. The City
Clerk Department, working with the Police Department will update the map at least
annually to reflect any changes in the location of prohibited zones.
The ordinance may be problematic and controversial and may be subject to legal
challenge. However protecting our children should take precedence over the potential of
legal challenge.
Recommendation
Review the ordinance and accept the submitted "draft" as first reading. Also, direct staff
after the second reading and publication of the ordinance to draft a resolution from the
City Council to be sent to all neighboring jurisdictions urging that they too adopt a
similar ordinance.
Amendment to Ordinance Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions
SEXUAL OFFENDERS AND SEXUAL PREDATORS
Findings and intent:
(a) Repeat sexual offenders, sexual offenders who use physical violence and sexual
offenders who prey on children are sexual predators who present an extreme threat to the
public safety. Sexual offenders are extremely likely to use physical violence and to repeat
their offenses, and most sexual offenders commit many offenses, have many more
victims than are ever reported, and are prosecuted for only a fraction of their crimes. This
makes the cost of sexual offender victimization to society at large, while incalculable,
clearly exorbitant.
(b) It is the intent of this article to serve the city's compelling interest to promote,
protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city by creating
areas around locations where children regularly congregate in concentrated numbers
wherein certain sexual offenders and sexual predators are prohibited from establishing
temporary or permanent residence.
Definitions:
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this article, shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a
different meaning:
Designated offender means any person who has been convicted of a designated sexual
offense, regardless of whether adjudication has been withheld.
Designated sexual offense means a conviction, adjudication of delinquency, commitment
under Minn. Stat. §§ 253B, or admission of guilt under oath without adjudication
involving any of the following offenses: 609.342; 609.343; 609.344; 609.345; 609.352;
609.365; 617.23; 617.246; 617.247; 617.293; successor statutes; or a similar offense from
another state.
Permanent residence means a place where the person abides, lodges, or resides for 14 or
more consecutive days.
Temporary residence means a place where the person abides, lodges, or resides for a
period of 14 or more days in the aggregate during any calendar year and which is not the
person's permanent address, or a place where the person routinely abides, lodges, or
resides for a period of four or more consecutive or nonconsecutive days in any month and
which is not the person's permanent residence.
Sexual offender and sexual predator residence prohibition; penalties; exceptions.
(a) Prohibited location of residence. It is unlawful for any designated offender to
establish a permanent residence or temporary residence: a) within 2,000 feet of any
school, licensed day care center, park, or playground; or b) within 1,000 feet of any
designated public school bus stop, place of worship which provides regular educational
programs (i.e. Sunday school), or other places where children are known to congregate.
(b) Prohibited activity. It is unlawful for any designated offender to participate in a
holiday event involving children under 1S years of age, such as distributing candy or
other items to children on Halloween, wearing a Santa Claus costume on or preceding
Christmas, or wearing an Easter Bunny costume on or preceding Easter. Holiday events
in which the offender is the parent or guardian of the children involved, and no non -
familial children are present, are exempt from this paragraph.
(c) Measurement of distance.
1. For purposes of determining the minimum distance separation, the
requirement shall be measured by following a straight line from the outer property
line of the permanent residence or temporary residence to nearest outer property
line of a school, designated public school bus stop, day care center, park,
playground, place of worship, or other place where children regularly congregate.
2. The City Clerk shall maintain an official map showing prohibited
locations as defined by this Ordinance. The Clerk shall update the map at least
annually to reflect any changes in the location of prohibited zones.
(d) Penalties. A person who violates this section shall be punished by a fine not
exceeding $1,000.00 or by confinement for a term not exceeding 90 days, or by both such
fine and confinement. Each day a person maintains a residence in violation of this
ordinance constitutes a separate violation.
(e) Exceptions. A designated offender residing within a prohibited area as described in
