following- described property:
Lot 19 and the West 33.66 feet of Lot 20, Block 1, W. H. Fishers Addition
to Gladstone, Ramsey County, Minnesota, and the South Half of the adjacent
alley accruing thereto.
WHEREAS, Section 36 -69 of the Maplewood Code of Ordinances requires
that all lots in an R -1, single - dwelling residence district, have at least
10,000 square feet of area and 75 feet of lot width;
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing a corner lot which would have
9,860 square feet of area and 73.7 feet of frontage, requiring variances
of 140 square feet from the lot -size requirements and 1.3 feet from the
lot -width requirements;
WHEREAS, the procedural history of this variance is as follows:
1. This variance was reviewed by the Maplewood Planning
Commission on June 5, 1989. The Planning commission
recommended to the City Council that said variance be
approved.
2. The Maplewood City Council held a public hearing on June

Commission.
15 6 -22 -89
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAPLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL that the
above - described variance be approved on the basis of the following
findings of fact:
1. Strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because of
circumstances unique to the property under consideration
because:
a. The property cannot be put to a reasonable use
without the variances, because: (1) the current
width of 160 feet exceeds the width of most other
lots in the area, and (2) the area could be met by
jogging the lot line into the interior lot.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to
circumstances unique to the property, not created
by the landowner, because the existing house which
was placed by a previous owner prevents moving the
lot line to the east.
C. The essential character of the area will not be
altered, since:
1) All required setbacks could be met to
provide property site lines at the
intersection.
2) The proposed lot would be similar in width
with four other substandard corner lots in
the neighborhood, two of which are on the
same corner as the applicant's lot,, and
two are similar in area.
Approval is subject to no driveway on to Ripley Avenue.

As used in this article, the following words and phrases shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in this section:
Pipeline:
1. Pipe with a nominal diameter of six (6) inches or more,

store a hazardous liquid within a refinery, storage, or
manufacturing facility, or
2. Pipe operated at a pressure of more than two hundred

Sec. 9 -216. Building setback.
a) All buildings subject to the provisions of this article and all
newly created lots shall be designed to accommodate a setback of
at least one hundred (100) feet from a pipeline.
The City Council may approve a reduced setback where the applicant
can prove that there is a unique hardship to the property that
prevents the reasonable and practicable development of the
property. In such cases, the City Council may require berming, an
oil containment system or similar requirements to mitigate the
potential damage to a building by a pipeline leak or explosion.
Unenclosed decks may extend up to sixteen feet into the approved
setback.
b) Notwithstanding the above, the Director of Community Development

building pad. The elevation of the pipeline shall be shown on the site
plan and on a grading plan, when such plan is required to be submitted.
Sec. 9 -221. Lot of record.
A proposed building on an undeveloped lot of record that cannot be
constructed because of this article, shall be allowed to be constructed if
the building is located so as to comply with this article as closely as
possible. The City may require an oil containment system, to be approved
by the City Engineer.
Section 2. Section 30 -8 (f) (12) is amended as follows:
12) Pipelines. The City may require additional lot
width or depth to provide enough buildable area to

rear lot lines. A deed restriction shall be
recorded against each lot that is all or partially
within the 100 -foot setback stating this lot is

City in achieving those objectives;
c) The City has been advised by representatives of the Company that
conventional, commercial financing to pay the capital costs of the Project

a. Manager McGuire presented the staff report.
b. Councilmember Bastian moved to approve the following Sexual Harassment
Policy:
SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY
POLICY
The City of Maplewood is committed to providing a work environment that is
free of discrimination. Any type of discriminatory action or harassment
because of race, age, religion, sex, or national origin is a violation of
City policy and is prohibited. This policy applies to all City officials
and employees while performing their duties as employees within or outside
the workplace.
Guidelines issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 reaffirm that sexual harassment
is an unlawful employment practice. In keeping with the City's policy of
compliance with all laws prohibiting all forms of discrimination, sexual
harassment in any form will not be tolerated.
DEFINITION - SEXUAL HARASSMENT GUIDELINES
The EEOC Guidelines state that unwelcome sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature
constitute harassment when:
1. Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly
as a term or condition of an individual's employment, or
2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is
used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such
individual, or
3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering
with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating,
hostile, or offensive working environment.
Other behavior, whether subtle, overt, or otherwise, which constitutes
sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to:
1. Verbal harassment (epithets, derogatory remarks, or slurs);
42 8 -28 -89
2. Physical harassment (gestures, assault, impeding or blocking
movement, or any physical interference with normal work or
movement);
3. Visual forms of harassment (derogatory posters, letters,poems,
graffiti, cartoons, or drawings); and
4. Requests for sexual favors or unwanted sexual advances.
PRACTICE
Conduct that might be interpreted as sexual harassment can be perceived
differently among employees._ Anytime an employee feels that he or she is
being subjected to sexual harassment in any form, or who believes he or
she has witnessed sexual harassment in any form, must bring this to the
attention of the City. In order for the City to deal with the problem,
employees must report such offensive conduct or situation to their
Supervisor, Department Head, Staff Services Coordinator, or City Manager.
All supervisors and Department Heads are required to immediately report
any allegations to the staff Services Coordinator or the City Manager.
PROCEDURES
All complaints which are made will be promptly investigated and resolved.
Every attempt will be made to maintain the employee's confidentiality and
provide protection against retaliation.
A record of the complaint and findings will become a part of the complaint
investigation record and the file will be maintained separately from the
employee's personnel file.
If the facts support the allegations, the perpetrator of the sexual
harassment will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and
including discharge. Any official or employee found to have made a false
complaint or found to have given knowingly false information during an
investigation of such a complaint may also be subject to disciplinary
action.
