ADJOURNMENT Mayor Rossbach adjourned the meeting at 10:22 p.m. Packet Page Number 15 of 182 Agenda Item F2 MEMORANDUM TO: Jim Antonen, City Manager FROM: Shann Finwall, AICP, Environmental Planner SUBJECT: Presentation of Blue Star Award DATE: December 5, 2012 for the December 10 City Council Meeting BACKGROUND The City of Maplewood recently registered for the Minnesota Blue Star Award Program. The program assesses a City on a wide range of policies and practices in three core areas: 1) Water Friendly Planning and Preservation; 2) Stormwater Management Standards and Practices; and 3) Stormwater Pollution Prevention. Cities that score high enough earn the Blue Star Award and are recognized as leaders in protecting Minnesota’s water resources and public health through excellence in stormwater management. The program is regularly amended to incorporate advancements in municipal stormwater management. After three years a city is asked to conduct the assessment again in order to maintain or increase their Award certification. This way the program encourages cities to improve their overall stormwater management performance in order to maintain certification over time. After registering and submitting our assessment, the City of Maplewood received a score of 139 out of 193 possible points. This placed Maplewood fourth in stormwater management out of 69 participating cities Statewide. SUMMARY A representative from the Blue Star Award Program will be present during the December 10, 2012, City Council meeting to present the City with a Blue Star Award for Excellence in Community Stormwater Management.

Staff has included the proposed ordinance for the city council’s consideration for second reading and adoption. Staff made one revision, however, to suggest renaming the commission from BEDC to HEDC—the Housing and Economic Development Commission rather than BECD/HRA. The acronym HEDC would denote the functions of this commission as those related to housing and economic development. It would also be more brief a less awkward abbreviation. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the amendments to Division 9, the BEDC ordinance, to include the duties and responsibilities of the HRA. p:\ ORD\BEDC HRA Responsibilities Ordinance Amendment CC Report#2 2nd Reading 12 12 te Attachment: Ordinance Amendment to Division 9—the HEDC Ordinance Agenda Item G7 Packet Page Number 43 of 182 ORDINANCE NO. ___ AN ORDINANCE AMENDING DIVISION 9—THE MAPLEWOOD BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE TO INCLUDE THE DUTIES OF THE HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY The Maplewood City Council approves the following revision to the Maplewood Code of Ordinances.

The CUP is to operate a monopole on the site with ground equipment. (See the maps and the city council minutes attached to this report.) BACKGROUND On December 14, 2009, the council approved the following for this site: 1. A conditional use permit (CUP) for a tower and related equipment at a school. Section 44-1321(b)(2)b of the city code requires a conditional use permit for communications towers located at a school 2. The tower design and site plan. On December 13, 2010, the city council reviewed the CUP and agreed to review again in one year to ensure continued compliance. On November 28, 2011, the city council reviewed the CUP and agreed to review again in one year to ensure continued compliance. DISCUSSION In the summer of 2011, staff inspected the site and found the landscaping surrounding the tower site mostly dead. The applicant replaced all the required vegetation. Again this summer, staff inspected the site and found some of the required landscaping dead. The applicant was quick to respond and now the landscaping is healthy and meeting the conditions of approval. Staff recommends reviewing this permit again in one year to ensure the site continues to meet the conditions of approval and that the landscaping remains healthy. RECOMMENDATION Review the CUP for the monopole at 1961 County Road C East again in one year. P:\SEC2S\1961 Co Rd C\Monopole CUP\TMobile_CUPReview_121012 Attachments: 1. Location Map 2.

BACKGROUND On November 24, 1986, the city council granted a conditional use permit for a church at this location. On May 12, 1997, the city council approved a CUP revision and the design plans for this site. These requests were for the church to expand their building by adding space for Sunday school and a solarium to the front of the church. On July 8, 2002, the city council approved a CUP revision and design plans for this site. These requests were for the church to expand their parking lot to the south and to add a playground to their property. On December 12, 2011, the city council approved a CUP revision and design plans for this site. These requests were for the church to add onto the building, enlarge the parking lot and to provide a driveway connection to DeSoto Street. Code Requirements Section 44-1099 of the zoning code states the proposed construction must be substantially started or the proposed use utilized within one year of council approval or the conditional use permit shall become null and void. The council may grant up to one one-year extension of the permit if just cause is shown. Section 44-1100(a) of the zoning code states CUPs shall be reviewed by the city council within one year of approval. At the one-year review, the council may specify an indefinite term for a subsequent review or a specific term not to exceed five years. DISCUSSION The project has been delayed by the church’s efforts to finance the improvements. The applicant has submitted a letter, attached to this report, to the city stating it believes it will soon have its financing in order and will be able to proceed with the project in the spring of 2013. During the past year, the applicant’s design representatives have continued to work with planning and engineering staff on meeting the city council’s conditions of approval. These efforts have Agenda Item G9 Packet Page Number 53 of 182 2 demonstrated to staff the applicant still has the intention of moving forward with the project as proposed. Code requires construction to be substantially started within one year or the CUP becomes invalid but council can extend this approval for another year with just cause. Staff believes with this being a fairly large project for a church that it is reasonable that financing would take time and the applicant’s continued meeting with staff has demonstrated a commitment to this project and should receive the year extension of the original CUP approval. RECOMMENDATION Extend the approval of the conditional use permit for the St. Paul Hmong Alliance Church and review again in one year.

BACKGROUND The contractor, Lunda Construction Company, has completed the project improvements. On February 22, 2010, the City Council ordered the improvements. On June 28, 2010, the council approved a resolution of concurrence with Ramsey County for the award of bid to Lunda Construction Company in the amount of $16,590,088.00. The City of Maplewood’s share was expected to be $120,000, as outlined in the cooperative agreement approved by the City Council on June 14, 2010. However, with bid prices at 20% below the original projections the City of Maplewood’s total contribution and expenses to date is $50,198. BUDGET IMPACT The current approved budget for the project is $120,000. The current expenses incurred to date total $50,198. This represents a cost savings of approximately 58%. No budget adjustment is needed as the contract closeout falls within budgeted contingencies. Once all financial transactions have been completed staff will bring back the final financial plan and recommend closure of the project fund.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted on July 26, 1990, is a civil rights law prohibiting discrimination against individuals on the basis of disability. This act requires the City of Maplewood to have and maintain an ADA Transition Plan. Since the adoption of the ADA, the City of Maplewood has striven to provide accessible pedestrian features that meet ADA standards within the public rights-of- ways. The City of Maplewood’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan provides a high level review of the existing pedestrian facilities and is a guiding document for future plans of trails, sidewalks, and bicycle routes. With each City Capital Improvement Project, scheduled street/utility project, and pedestrian facility maintenance project the City performs a detailed review of the existing facilities for ADA compliance and necessary upgrades. The City of Maplewood ADA Transition Plan for Facilities within the Public Right-of-Way covers Maplewood’s ADA policy for implementing improvements to the pedestrian facilities within the City’s road rights-of-way. Additionally, the ADA Transition Plan provides information to residents on how to contact the City’s ADA Coordinator and the process for requesting ADA upgrades to the current pedestrian facilities. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached City of Maplewood ADA Transition Plan for Facilities within the Public Right-of-Way. Attachments: 1.

FOR FACILITIES WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT‐OF‐WAY    Introduction  The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted on July 26, 1990, is a civil rights law prohibiting  discrimination against individuals on the basis of disability.  Since the adoption of the ADA, the City of  Maplewood has striven to provide accessible pedestrian features that meet ADA standards within the  public rights‐of‐ways.      This document has been created to specifically cover accessibility within the public rights of way and  does not include information on City/County programs, practices, or building facilities not related to  public rights of way.    Policy  The City of Maplewood’s goal is to continue to provide accessible pedestrian design features as part of  the City’s 5 year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects and maintenance projects. The standards and  procedures will be kept up to date with nationwide and local best management practices.    The City of Maplewood will consider and respond to all accessibility improvement requests. All  accessibility improvements that have been deemed reasonable will be scheduled consistent with  transportation priorities. The City will coordinate with external agencies and contractors to ensure that  all new or altered pedestrian facilities within City jurisdiction are ADA compliant to the maximum extent  feasible.    Request for accessibility improvements should be directed to the ADA Coordinator at the Maplewood  Public Works Engineering Department.    Improvement Schedule  Each year the city council approves a 5 year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).  ADA compliance and  improvements are planed and incorporated into each of these CIP projects.     Self‐Evaluation  The City, as part of its 2030 Comprehensive Plan, performed a high level review of the existing  pedestrian facilities.  The 2030 Comprehensive Plan is a guiding document for future plans of trails,  sidewalks, and bicycle routes.      Each City CIP project, scheduled street/utility project, and pedestrian facility maintenance project the  City performs a detailed review of the existing facilities for ADA compliance and which facilities require  upgrades.     As additional information is made available as to the methods of providing ADA accessible features, the  City will continue to update their procedures to accommodate these methods.         Agenda Item G14 Attachment 1 Packet Page Number 79 of 182 Public Outreach  Public meetings are held during the feasibility study for all CIP projects prior to design and construction

CIP project are evaluated on an individual basis.  Information about ADA facilities and requirements  within the public rights‐of‐way is also available on the city web site and in monthly news articles.    Grievance Procedure  If users of the City of Maplewood’s facilities and services located within the public rights‐of‐way believe  the City of Maplewood has not provided reasonable accommodations, they have the right to file a  grievance.     A complaint from a citizen should be made in writing addressed to the attention of the ADA  Coordinator. A response to the complaint will be made within thirty days. If the complainant feels that  an equitable resolution has not been reached they may appeal to the City Council.    External Agency Coordination  Other agencies are responsible for some pedestrian facilities within the jurisdiction of the City of  Maplewood. The City will coordinate with those agencies to ensure that any new or altered work on  those facilities is ADA compliant to the maximum extent feasible.    ADA Coordinator  The ADA Coordinator may be contacted by calling the Public Works Engineering Department at 651‐249‐

Manager Chuck Ahl, Assistant City Manager FROM: Larry Farr, Chief Building Engineer Reason: Approval of Additional “Audio System Upgrade Equipment” for Maplewood Community Center Banquet Rooms DATE: December 10, 2012 City Council Meeting INTRODUCTION The Maplewood Community Center (MCC), Banquet Area was in need of an upgrade/improvement for their “Audio Visual Equipment” (AV) due to the age of the existing equipment and to stay competitive with other facilities. The decision was made and approved for upgrading the AV equipment while working within a limited dollar amount. BACKGROUND The existing AV equipment in the MCC Banquet area has had minor upgrades in the past that were piece meal and functioned as such. There have been issues with microphone operations/connections, projector issues, portable screen size, and the ability to hear and see presentation in the back of the room. Staff verified the concerns working with Tierney Brothers Inc. an AV company for recommendations and a solution to the issues. It was determined that the best solution was to replace most of the existing AV equipment with compatible equipment that included the following. • 87” X 139” retractable screen in the front of Meeting Room C. • Wireless remote overhead projector permanently mounted on the ceiling in Meeting Room C. • Wireless microphone system to integrate with existing equipment. • Wireless communication rack, and system equipment. • Correct the existing wiring issues. • Training of staff on the operation of the equipment. It was determined after the installation was complete that the current microphones that were hard wired could not be used as hoped to tie into the wireless PA system. DISCUSSION The original project amount was $19,163.09 once completed. With the determination that the system needed an additional two (2) amplifiers and one (1) receiver for the system to function wirelessly once completed. Tierney Brothers Inc. submitted a proposal for the additional equipment and installation expense of $2,593.36. The original upgrade and requested additional equipment expense brings the combined/continuation of the project amount to $21,756.45 which is over $20,000 and requires council approval. RECOMMENDATION Staff is requesting city council approval to spend the additional $2,593.39 to complete the project. The funds will come out of GL# 602-614-000-4430 Repair and Maintenance of Equipment.

The Insurance Labor-Management Committee met several times and reviewed and discussed providers, rates and benefit levels. After several discussions and some negotiations by our insurance agent, Financial Concepts, Inc., the LMC proposed the following changes effective January 1, 2013: Health Insurance: The Insurance LMC proposes to continue with Medica as the health care provider. Financial Concepts, Inc. negotiated with Medica and Medica’s final renewal came back at 4% with a guaranteed rate cap of 17% for 2014. The 4% renewal was great news for Maplewood. Both the City and Insurance LMC were very happy to see this low of an increase. This renewal rate also includes the Core+ Program fee—a per member per month fee. Note that last year (for 2012) this fee was waived as part of negotiations for 2012. The Core+ Program is an enhanced value-based program which will provide an opportunity to drive a higher level of employee participation through the current My Health Rewards (gift cards), the online health assessments and health topics, health coaching sessions, online personal health scorecards, and free biometric assessment to members. By participating in the Core+ Program, the City could be eligible for a rate cap reduction based on employee participation in the upcoming year. This added program will not only work great with our current Wellness Program, but it will also provide a great opportunity to increase employee participation in the Wellness Program. The Insurance LMC proposes to maintain all three high deductible/HRA plans—Medica Choice Open Access network, and Elect/Essentials networks. Currently 24% of our employees are on either the Elect or Essentials plan and 72% on the open access plan. As it stands, over 58% of our current members—employees, spouses and dependents, already utilize physicians within either the Elect or Essentials networks. If employees are able to switch to one of these two options, the City would save approximately $584/year per employee for single coverage and approximately $1,008/year per employee for those who have family coverage per month. The employee who has family coverage would save over $424 per year out of their pocket in premiums. Packet Page Number 85 of 182 Dental Insurance: The Insurance LMC proposes to continue with HealthPartners as the dental provider. HealthPartners came in with a 5% increase. Since this was a fairly small increase, the Insurance LMC decided to stay with HealthPartners as our dental provider as we have had a very good rapport with them for the past few years. Long-Term and Short-Term Disability: Long-term disability is a City-paid benefit. The City’s current carrier is Assurant. For 2013 there was no planned increase in premiums. However, in an effort to save the city money, the Insurance LMC looked at ways to lower the premium by redesigning the plan and eliminating some options that haven’t really haven’t provided a benefit to employees the past few years. After much discussion between the City, the Insurance LMC and the various labor groups, it was proposed to redesign the plan. This redesign will be a 21% reduction in premiums paid by the City, or approximately a $11,244 saving annually. The City also has short-term disability with Assurant. This is an optional employee-paid benefit. There is no change in premiums for this coverage. The Insurance LMC proposes to stay with Assurant for short-term disability coverage. Life Insurance: LMC is proposing to continue with Minnesota Life. There is no change in the cost of basic life insurance, which is provided by the City or in the premiums for optional employee and spouse life, and dependent life insurance. Minnesota Life is through a pool affiliated with the League of MN Cities. The City has had a long-standing great working relationship with Minnesota Life. Vision Care Plan: The Insurance LMC proposes to stay with Avesis as its carrier for vision hardware. The renewal came in at a 4% increase. This is an employee-paid option. This will be our third year with Avesis. Long-Term Care Insurance: The Insurance LMC proposes to continue our long-term care insurance contract with CNA through a pool affiliated with the League of MN Cities. The rates remain unchanged. Budget Impacts These contracts are for the programs provided to the employees. The amount/contribution by the City towards these programs in comparison to the contribution by the employees are subject to collective bargaining and are not a part of this process. This action is approval of the programs. The budgetary impact will based upon the final agreements with the seven bargaining groups. The contracts are generally consistent with the previous year’s plans. The increase in the health care plan is set at 4.0% greater than in 2012, which amounts to more than $85,000 if the same number of employees maintain coverage as in 2012. However, as noted in this report, those employees who switch to the more cost-effective restricted network Elect/Essential program has the potential to minimize a majority of that increase. In addition, current bargaining efforts are encouraging employees to consider the Elect/Essential programs as well as Wellness Programs such as CorePlus, which further could reduce City costs. The dental program cost increase is also dependent upon participation, but is likely a Packet Page Number 86 of 182 $15,000 impact above 2012. The Long-Term Disability coverage includes employee concessions in excess of $11,000. The numbers listed above are total plan dollars. The breakdown between City paid and employee paid has not yet been determined and is subject to the collective bargaining process as stated above. The 2013 budget included a +$200,000 planned increased contribution to the Employee Benefits Fund. The net impact of all these programs will be less than $100,000, so the Employee Benefits Fund in 2013, should continue to see positive growth. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the Insurance Labor-Management Committee’s recommendations to be effective January 1, 2013. Packet Page Number 87 of 182 RESOLUTION Be it resolved that the Maplewood City Council hereby affirms the recommendations of Insurance Labor Management Committee regarding 2013 employee insurance benefits for the City of Maplewood. Approved this 10th day of December 2012. Packet Page Number 88 of 182 Agenda Item H1 AGENDA REPORT TO: James Antonen, City Manager FROM: Gayle Bauman, Finance Manager SUBJECT: Public Hearing on 2013 Tax Levy and Budget a. Resolution Certifying Taxes Payable in 2013 b. Resolution Adopting a Budget for 2013 DATE: December 4, 2012 INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting City Council approval of two related matters concerning the levy certification of the final taxes payable in 2013 as well as adoption of the proposed 2013 Budget for the City of Maplewood. A public hearing on the proposed taxes and budget for 2013 has been scheduled for December 10th at 7:00 p.m. State law requires that the final property tax levy and budget be adopted at this hearing. The tax levy needs to be adopted before the budget is adopted. BACKGROUND Earlier this year, goals established through the Council – Staff Retreat process were used to develop the following assumptions about the 2013 Budget: 1. A levy increase of 3 – 4% = $525,000 - $700,000. 2. An increase in funding of about 1.0% for Police Department Expansion = $125,000 3. A stabilization of funding for the MCC Fund. [from the Audit Report] 4. A stabilization of funding for the Ambulance Fund. [from the Audit Report] 5. A small increase of funding for the Debt Service Fund. [from 2012 Bonds] 6. A small increase in funding for Park Development. 7. A continued reduction in the street renewal program. 8. An expansion of funding for Economic Development. A levy increase of 8.32% would have been needed based upon the CIP, initial department budget requests and revenue trends. This amount was not within the City Council’s sustainability goals or within the range that the City Management Team was comfortable recommending. Staff recommended preliminary certification of a tax levy totaling $18,478,400, this amount representing a 3.5% increase over the final levy payable in 2012 ($17,853,523). Council approved a preliminary levy request of 4.5%, with additional levy dollars being dedicated to Fire and Debt Service. Packet Page Number 89 of 182 Staff made a presentation to Council at the November 26, 2012 workshop updating the Council on the City’s finances through September 30, 2012. Estimates indicated the City would maintain a fund balance that is 40% of fund operating revenues and realize some one-time monies which will help fund deferred items and alleviate deficits. At this workshop, Council gave direction to reduce the proposed levy increase from 4.5% to 3.78%. The 2013 Budget being presented tonight reflects this change. The annual impact of the city levy increase to Maplewood homes is as follows based on information received from Ramsey County on November 13, 2012. The scenario is based on the assumption that a home’s value is decreasing by 12.14%, which is the median amount. Set levy at $18,528,400 (a 3.78% increase over 2012): Property Value for 2012 Taxes Property Value for 2013 Taxes 2012 City Tax 2013 City Tax $ Increase (Decrease) % Increase (Decrease) $100,000 $87,900 $ 337 $ 304 ($33) -9.6% $150,000 $131,800 $ 587 $ 547 ($40) -6.9% $182,900 $160,700 $ 752 $ 706 ($46) -6.0% $275,000 $241,600 $1,213 $1,153 ($60) -4.9% $350,000 $307,500 $1,588 $1,517 ($71) -4.5% The State Auditor recommends that cities maintain unreserved fund balances in their general fund of approximately 35 to 50 percent of fund operating revenues or no less than five months of operating expenditures. The 2013 budget projects a fund balance of 40% of fund operating revenues and 4.7 months of operating expenditures. The 3.78% levy increase puts us within the range recommended by the State Auditor. An adequate fund balance is needed to maintain our bond rating and provide a sufficient balance for our cash flow needs. Information from Ramsey County shows that other city proposed tax levy changes are as follows: Gem Lake 34.93% Vadnais Heights 2.25% Roseville 15.76% Lauderdale 2.00% St. Anthony 7.48% Little Canada 1.97% Falcon Heights 6.49% St. Paul 1.90% Shoreview 3.39% White Bear Lake 1.87% North Oaks 3.30% New Brighton 1.39% Arden Hills 3.04% Mounds View 0.00% Town of White Bear 2.96% North St. Paul -0.13% UPDATE ON STATE PERFORMANCE MEASURES The City opted to participate in the State Performance Measurement Program this year. A survey was created which contained 9 performance measures developed by the Council on Local Results and Innovation. The survey was made available to our residents during the Packet Page Number 90 of 182 month of November. We received about 96 responses and the results will be published either in our City Newsletter or on our website. A snapshot of the responses is as follows: Question Excellent Good Fair Poor Don’t Know Appearance of City 9% 65% 20% 6% 0% Feeling of Safety 29% 55% 13% 1% 2% Quality of Fire/EMS 24% 35% 11% 14% 16% Condition of Streets 6% 49% 37% 8% 0% Quality of Snowplowing 27% 51% 16% 6% 0% Quality of Sewer 31% 52% 5% 0% 12% Quality of Water 48% 45% 5% 0% 2% Quality of Rec Programs/Parks 27% 54% 11% 5% 3% Overall City Services 13% 60% 20% 6% 1% RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the following two resolutions: a.

The following amounts of taxes be levied for 2012, payable in 2013, upon the net tax capacity in said City of Maplewood, for the following purposes: General Fund $12,500,600 Ambulance Service 450,000 Community Center 460,000 Recreation Programs 175,000 Capital Improvement Projects 180,000 Fire Truck Replacement 50,000 Park Development 30,000 Public Safety Expansion 260,000 Redevelopment 20,000 Debt Service 3,620,770 TOTAL LEVY $17,746,370 2. In addition, there is a $692,760 market value based referendum levy for 2012 payable in 2013 to finance the debt service on the 2002 Open Space Refunding Bonds and the 2004 Fire Safety Refunding Bonds. This results in a total certified City levy of $18,439,130. There is also a proposal for an EDA levy of $89,270. This would bring the total levy up to $18,528,400 (a 3.78% increase over 2012). 3. The net tax capacity based levy of $3,620,770 for Debt Service and the market value based referendum levy of $692,760 total $4,313,530. This is a net decrease of $1,996,035.34 in the scheduled levy of $6,309,565.34. The breakdown by Debt Service Fund is attached.

Resolution Certifying Taxes Payable in 2013 DATE: December 4, 2012 INTRODUCTION Staff is asking City Council approval for the levy certification of the final taxes payable in 2013. A public hearing on the proposed taxes for 2013 has been scheduled for December 10th at 7:00 p.m. State law requires that the final property tax levy be adopted at this hearing. BACKGROUND The 2013-2017 CIP talks about a Commercial Property Redevelopment Program to prevent neighborhoods from deteriorating. A tax levy is needed in order to fund this program and to allow for other economic development opportunities. This is the first year that a levy is being introduced to begin funding the Maplewood Area EDA Fund. The Proposed 2013 Budget for the Maplewood Area EDA requires a tax levy of $89,270 which is 0.5% of the 2012 total levy. The budget for the EDA Fund can be found in the Operating Section of the City Budget. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the following resolution: a. Resolution Certifying Taxes Payable in 2013 p:/council files/2012/agenda/121 Budget 2013 public hearing - EDA Attachment: a. Resolution Certifying Taxes Payable in 2013 Packet Page Number 101 of 182 RESOLUTION CERTIFYING TAXES PAYABLE IN 2013 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAPLEWOOD AREA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA that: 1. The following amounts of taxes be levied for 2012, payable in 2013, upon the net tax capacity in said City of Maplewood, for the following purposes: EDA $89,270 2. The 2013 Budget for the Maplewood Area Economic Development Authority is included in the City Budget document and will be adopted along with all the other funds of the City. A summary of the budget is as follows: Revenues $92,400 Expenditures 65,500 Net change in fund balance 26,900 Packet Page Number 102 of 182 AGENDA REPORT TO: James Antonen, City Manager FROM: Michael Thompson, Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: MnDOT I-35E MnPASS Improvements, Project 11-02, Public Hearing and Resolution Approving Final Layout (Municipal Consent) DATE: December 5, 2012 INTRODUCTION The City Council will conduct a public hearing on December 10, 2012 at 7:00 PM for the I-35E MnPASS Improvements, Project 11-02. Municipal consent is requested by MnDOT for this project as a result of increased capacity on Interstate 35E. The council ordered this public hearing on October 22, 2012. In addition to publication in the local newspaper, notice of this hearing was also included in the city newsletter. BACKGROUND The city needs to hold a public hearing for this project according to Minnesota Statute Section 161.164. I-35E, as a result of this project, would add one additional lane in both the north and south directions. These lanes would be established as MnPASS lanes. This improvement requires the reconstruction of Larpenteur Avenue, Roselawn Avenue, and County Road B bridges over I-35E. As a result of an increased capacity component on I-35E as part of this project MnDOT is required to secure Municipal Consent from the city. Improvements are likely to start in the fall of 2013 with the major impacts of construction occurring during the construction seasons of 2014 and 2015. During the 2014 – 2015 construction periods, I-35E will likely be reduced to 4 lanes total or 2-lanes in each direction. The project is currently scheduled to be completed by the end of 2015. DISCUSSION The project is generally located on I-35E from Maryland Avenue up to Little Canada Road. For the portion of the project located within the boundaries of the City of Maplewood the bridges at Larpenteur, Roselawn, and County Rd B would all be replaced as part of the project. The city has been closely working with MnDOT on the design of the Roselawn and County Rd B bridges to ensure they allow for pedestrian ways on both the north and south sides of the local roadways underneath the new interstate bridges. MnDOT agreed to construct, at their cost, the County Rd B section under I-35E with an 8’ trail/walk on the south side. Likewise MnDOT agreed to construct, at their cost, the Roselawn Avenue section under I-35E with an 8’ trail/walk on the north side and 6’ walk on the south side. Lastly, MnDOT has conveyed they will accommodate and pay for an 8’ walk on the north side of Larpenteur Avenue within the project limits. These proposed pedestrian routes are consistent with the approved 2030 Comprehensive Plan in continuing to build out Maplewood’s pedestrian network. It should be noted that three noise walls are proposed to be constructed within Maplewood as part of this project. The walls are proposed in the following locations: Agenda Item H3 Packet Page Number 103 of 182 1) On east side of I-35E from Larpenteur Avenue extending north along the service road. 2) On west side of I-35E from just north of Champps Restaurant and extending north up to just south of Roselawn Avenue. 3) On east side of I-35E from Skillman Avenue extending north up to County Rd B. MnDOT and the city held an open-house for this project on August 9th at the Maplewood Community Center in order to present the project to the public and solicit feedback. Another open-house was held specifically for the noise walls on October 17 from 4:30-6:30 at St. Jerome Catholic Church on Roselawn Avenue. The residents adjacent to these locations had an opportunity to vote their preference for a wall or no wall. At this point all walls are proposed to be constructed based on the voting. This project is being delivered as a “Design Build” Project and there are questions and requests of the local agencies that are not possible to be answered at this phase of the project. It is recommended that MnDOT and the City of Maplewood enter into a Memorandum of Understanding prior to constructing the project. Any impacts to the local municipal and other roadway infrastructure within the City limits will need to be satisfactorily addressed in the Memorandum of Understanding. The Memorandum of Understanding will include the following items that will be addressed: 1.) The City of Maplewood and MnDOT will determine pavement degradation on the alternate City and County routes that the traveling public will utilize during MnPASS construction. Deterioration of the pavement condition caused by increased traffic diverted by the MnPASS project to the local system will be determined by the local agencies in accordance with their pavement management programs. A reasonable remediation to the local system deterioration caused by increased traffic volumes and pavement degradation and changed striping of the roadway segments shall be part of the Memorandum of Understanding. The determined deterioration on the local system will be negotiated in good faith by all parties involved. 2.) The City of Maplewood in coordination with Ramsey County may require signal timing changes necessary on local routes to improve travel times and reduce delays as all parties agree. Timing plans will need to be developed and approved by the local agencies, at MnDOT’s expense. Signal timing, after the project, will return to the original signal timing that existed prior to the MnPASS project or as determined by the local agency; with MnDOT responsible for the costs in restoring timing patterns. 3.) Any restriping of the roadway segments to accommodate additional traffic during the MnPASS Project may require MnDOT to restripe the existing roadway and also pay to re-establish the pavement condition to a condition equal to or better than existed prior to the restriping. 4.) MnDOT is required to provide adequate traffic modeling and project staging/phasing on the State Highway system and the local system. The City Council will be advised of the findings of the modeling and staging/phasing prior to construction through city council work session(s). The City of Maplewood may have input pertaining to the MnPASS project traffic modeling and project staging/phasing. The City of Maplewood is concerned that access by our residents and businesses to the interstate system is not unduly restricted during the project. If determined by the City it may be necessary for MnDOT to provide temporary traffic control on local routes by Agenda Item H3 Packet Page Number 104 of 182 either installing temporary signals, stop signs or to arrange for law enforcement to direct traffic during peak periods during phases of the project at MnDOT cost. 5.) If signal systems or signage on local routes need to be modified to accommodate changes to the roadway configuration, MnDOT is responsible to pay for these changes and to return them to their original condition. As agreed to by the local agency and MnDOT, modifications may be made permanent or returned to their condition prior to the MnPASS project at the completion of the project. 6.) MnDOT provides active support and outreach to Maplewood businesses and residents during the construction project. This includes but is not limited to timely construction updates, advanced notification of traffic changes and detour routes. 7.) The City reserves the right to add any additional items in the Memorandum of Understanding prior to execution for issues that arise during the design of the project in order to protect the interests of the City and general motoring public. BUDGET This is a Mn/DOT project and the majority of the project cost is covered by non-local sources. However there may be minor Maplewood funding for the Larpenteur Avenue Bridge depending on the final bridge selected jointly by City of Maplewood, City of Saint Paul, and Ramsey County. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution for layout approval after conducting the public hearing in order to provide municipal consent for the I-35E MnPASS Improvements, State Project 6280-367 (Maplewood City Project 11-02).

Men’s Wearhouse had applied for a comprehensive sign plan amendment seeking approval to install a 166.5 square foot sign on an exterior wall on the west side of the mall, next to the Macy’s store. The city council tabled its decision at the October 22, 2012 meeting and referred the matter back to the CDRB for further review. The CDRB reviewed the request again and now recommends a sign consisting of two lines with a maximum letter height of 24-inches. Men’s Wearhouse has submitted a letter to the city indicating it also supports the CDRB’s recommendation. The letter is attached to this report. Request The applicant is proposing to install a wall sign for the Men’s Wearhouse. DISCUSSION At the November 27 CDRB meeting, the applicant submitted eight drawings. A set of four drawings with two lines of copy and another set of four drawings with a single line of copy. Each set contains individual letters sizes of 18-inches, 24-inches, 28-inches and 36-inches. The CDRB recommended approval of a sign with 24-inch letters and two lines of copy. To reiterate, the applicant has agreed to abide by this recommendation. Staff has attached drawings showing a sign with 24-inch letters and two lines of copy. The council had also discussed the possibility of a sign with one line of copy. Both the applicant and CDRB prefer two lines of copy, but a drawing of a single line sign is included with this report for reference. A question came up at the October 22 city council meeting regarding the approval of the H & M sign. This sign was approved by the CDRB in the spring of 2010 – along with its building plans. H & M took the place of two restaurants. Both restaurants had exterior signs. The CDRB’s decision was not appealed so it was not required to be reviewed by the city council. Agenda Item I1 Packet Page Number 109 of 182 2 Summary The city council sent this request back to the CDRB hoping for compromise with the applicant. The CDRB and the applicant did compromise on a sign design. Staff feels the 24-inch sign letters would be an appropriate scale for readability while being subordinate to the adjacent Maplewood Mall entrance sign. COMMITTEE ACTION Community Design Review Board On November 27, 2012, the community design review board reviewed the sign plans for this request and recommended approval of a sign with 24-inch letters. The draft minutes from this meeting are attached. RECOMMENDATION Approve the 24-inch letter two line copy plan attached to this report for a comprehensive sign plan amendment to allow an exterior wall sign for Men’s W earhouse at the Maplewood Mall, 3001 White Bear Avenue with the following conditions. 1. Bottom line of sign shall be located as close to the fire alarm on the exterior wall as possible. 2. Any future sign requests shall be reviewed by the community design review board.

State law typically requires that the city take action within 60 days of receiving complete applications. However, the applicant has requested two extensions for this request which supersedes any timeline the city had to adhere to. The CDRB made a decision on this request at its meeting on September 25, 2012 and the applicant made an appeal within the 15-day appeals period. Staff, as required by code, scheduled this request to be heard by the city council at the next possible meeting. At the October 22, 2012 city council meeting, the applicant agreed to the council’s request to table the item and have the request go back to the CDRB for further review. p: sec 2N\MensWearhouse_Sign Plan Amendment_CC_121012 Attachments 1.

While it has been an arduous task, I think that all of the parties involved have understood the importance of the issue and agree that the interests of all the parties have been represented in the process. That being said, I am writing this letter to give my support for the finding of the Community Design Review Board at their last meeting held November 27th in that the Board approved a 24 inch stacked sign per the submitted sign plan by my company. This sign size and style will allow us to advertise our business and location in the mall while keeping with the community standards which the Board is tasked to enforce and protect. Please let me know if I can ever be of assistance in the future, and I look forward to a long and valuable relationship with the City of Maplewood and its residents. Best regards, Rob Bradley Director of Real Estate, Central U.S. Attachment 5 Packet Page Number 118 of 182 MEMORANDUM TO: James Antonen, City Manager FROM: Tom Ekstrand, Senior Planner Chuck Ahl, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Conditional Use Permit and Right-of-Way Vacations Votes needed: A 4/5 vote of the city council is required for the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment and right-of-way vacations, a 3/5 vote is required for rezoning conditional use permit approvals LOCATION: North side of Roselawn Avenue, East of McMenemy Street DATE: December 4, 2012 INTRODUCTION Azure Properties is proposing to build a 71-unit senior’s apartment building on the north side of Roselawn Avenue across from St. Jerome’s Church. To build this apartment building, the applicant is requesting the following approvals: 1. A comprehensive land use plan amendment from LDR (low density residential) and P (park) to HDR (high density residential). 2. A rezoning from R1 (single dwelling residential) and OSP (open space & parks) to R3 (multiple dwelling residential). Staff had suggested, as an option, approval of a conditional use permit for a planned unit development instead of a rezoning to R3. 3. Right-of-way vacations for:  The easterly 10 feet of Edgemont Street adjacent to the proposed site.  The southerly half of the alley east of Edgemont Street. CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION On November 26, 2012, the city council moved to table action and directed staff to provide them with findings for the denial of the above requests. These findings are listed in the Recommendation. RECOMMENDATION A. Deny the request by Azure Properties to amend the Maplewood Comprehensive Land Use Plan classifications from LDR (low density residential) and P (park) to HDR (high density residential) for property on the north side of Roselawn Avenue east of Edgemont Street. This property consists of land owned by the applicant, the easterly 10 feet of Edgemont Street, an Agenda Item I2 Packet Page Number 119 of 182 undeveloped alley right-of-way and .9 acres of city-owned land and vacated Arkwright Street. Denial is based on the following reasons: 1. A goal of the Maplewood Comprehensive Land Use Plan is to strive for a variety of housing types for people of all stages of the life cycle. It was demonstrated at the November 26, 2012 city council meeting that this neighborhood currently has a variety of housing types which include senior housing, town homes, apartments, single family homes and long-term nursing home care. This neighborhood, therefore, is already meeting the goals of the comprehensive plan by serving people of all stages of the life cycle. 2. It was further stated at the November 26, 2012 city council meeting that the existing senior’s housing complex in this neighborhood, Rosoto Villa on Roselawn, is not currently fully occupied. The concern was raised whether the neighborhood could sustain another 71 units of senior housing when the existing senior housing facility is not at full occupancy. 3. Similarly, The Shores Senior Housing complex has recently been completed on Frost Avenue and East Shore Drive only a few miles away that has 105 available senior units and vacant land with the potential for an additional 62 plus units. Thus, this area has 105 newly available senior’s units, with the potential for 167, without having to make any amendments to the Comprehensive Plan or to the City’s existing zoning controls/map. 4. Approval of a land use plan amendment to provide for 71-units of senior housing would not, therefore, be necessary to meet the goals and objectives of the land use plan since these goals and objectives are currently being met. B. Deny the proposed rezoning from R1 (single dwelling residential) and OSP (open space and park) to R3 (multiple dwelling residential). Denial is because, without a comprehensive land use plan amendment to HDR (high density residential), rezoning to multiple-dwelling residential would be an inappropriate zone change that would conflict with the comprehensive plan’s guide for land use. C. Deny a conditional use permit for a planned unit development to allow the construction of a 71- unit senior housing complex on the proposed site. Denial is because the proposed use would not be located, designed, maintained, constructed and operated to be in conformity with the city’s comprehensive plan and the zoning code, since the land use plan and zoning classifications have not been changed to support multi-family development. D. Deny the vacations of the easterly 10 feet of Edgemont Street and the alley east of Edgemont Street on the north side of Roselawn Avenue. Denial is because, without the approval of a land use plan amendment to HDR (high density residential), the other zoning requests are not appropriate and the proposed senior housing development would not be in harmony with the city’s land use plan. Since the vacation of these rights-of-way were for the purpose of providing additional density for the proposed project, vacating them at this time would serve no purpose and is, therefore, not in the public’s interest to do so at this time. Packet Page Number 120 of 182 REFERENCE INFORMATION SITE DESCRIPTION Proposed site size: 2.58 acres Existing Use: Undeveloped SURROUNDING LAND USES North: Undeveloped city-owned property South: Roselawn Avenue and St. Jerome’s Church West: Undeveloped Edgemont Street and undeveloped single-dwelling residential property East: Undeveloped city-owned property PLANNING Existing land use plan: LDR and P Proposed Land use plan: HDR Existing zoning: R1 and OSP Proposed zoning: R3 APPLICATION DATE The application for this request was complete on August 24, 2012. State law required that the city take action within 60 days of receiving complete applications for a land use proposal. State statute, however, also allows the city to extend the initial 60-day review period an additional 60 days if additional time is needed to complete the review. Staff extended the review period this proposal an additional 60 days, therefore, the new deadline for city action on these requests is December 22, 2012. p:\sec17\Azure Properties Senior Apts\Azure Props Apts Recommendation to Deny CC Report 12 12 te Attachments: 1.

Packet Page Number 125 of 182 MEMORANDUM TO: James Antonen, City Manager FROM: Tom Ekstrand, Senior Planner Chuck Ahl, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Consider Postponing the Combination of the Planning Commission and Community Design Review Board into one Commission DATE: December 3, 2012 INTRODUCTION On November 15, 2012, at the council/manager workshop, the city council discussed combining the planning commission and the community design review board into one commission. The council expressed concern about losing a well-functioning design- review process if we were to make this combination. If this combination were to take place, they discussed options such as: 1. Forming a design subcommittee within the planning commission, 2. Having a ranked or weighted voting system on design matters, or 3. Forming a PC/CDRB membership with at least five design-background members The city council chose to take no action on this matter and directed staff to look further into the pros and cons of this combination and the process for doing so. DISCUSSION Upon further evaluation, staff is of the opinion that the concerns outweigh the benefit for making this change in the city’s review process, at least for now. Staff recommends revisiting this issue in a year to see if we see any new benefit in making the PC/CDRB combination. For now, as the council indicated, we have a knowledgeable and well- functioning planning commission and design-review board and we should not make changes that may possibly compromise our review process. Staff will continue to advertise to fill the vacancies we have on both commissions and feel confident that the council will find qualified people to serve. RECOMMENDATION Table action and further this discussion to the second meeting of November 2013 to reconsider the combination of the planning commission and the community design review board into one commission. p:\ ORD\Planning Commission Ordinance\PC CDRB Combination Postponement Memo CC Report 12 12 te Agenda Item I3 Packet Page Number 126 of 182 Agenda Item I4 AGENDA REPORT TO: James Antonen, City Manager FROM: Chuck Ahl, Assistant City Manager RE: Approval of Month-to-Month Extension for Contractual Police and Fire Services for the City of Landfall DATE : December 4, 2012 INTRODUCTION The City maintains contracts to provide Police and Fire protection services with the City of Landfall. It is proposed to continue providing service on a month-to-month basis in 2013 as Landfall explores other options for their City. Representatives from the Landfall Council and newly elected Landfall Council representatives will address the Council during the presentation portion of the meeting. BACKGROUND On June 11, 2012, the City Council received a letter from the Landfall City Attorney requesting immediate termination of police services after 19 years of service by Maplewood to Landfall. The City Council, under advice from the Police and Fire Chief, indicated that Maplewood was not interested in continuing to provide fire protection without the support of the Maplewood Police Department and directed the City Manager to negotiate the termination of service, including terminating fire service. There have been various leadership changes in Landfall during the past few months, as well, Council positions and the Mayor position in Landfall changed during the recent elections. Landfall has been unable to arrange for service to replace the Maplewood service, although indications are that they are looking to eventually terminate the Maplewood agreement. The current contract provides for Landfall to pay Maplewood a sum of $121,630 annually for the Police Services. The City of Maplewood also provides Fire Protection services for Landfall at an annual sum of $11,620 for a total annual expense to Landfall of $133,250. At the June 2012 meeting and subsequent meetings, the Landfall representatives indicated concern with response times and interaction with Maplewood staff. No formal complaints were filed, and State statutes do not provide for any investigation into these issues and claims. All information provided to Management and the Police Chief indicated a difference of opinion on the nature and importance of calls between Maplewood police and Landfall Park Management staff. Given the disagreement and possible breakdown in communication during the summer, this is not a major issue to Maplewood service. From a financial standpoint, it is a break-even, at best, if not a financial support for Landfall, from Maplewood. Termination will mean that at, this time, Maplewood will not fill one vacant officer position. No Maplewood employees will be terminated if this contract is cancelled. As Management, we are adamant that our Public Safety team not be compromised by providing Fire Safety services in an area where our employees are not also protected with our Police Packet Page Number 127 of 182 Safety services. Thus, Landfall is requesting a short-term extension prior to termination of Police Service as well as our recommended termination of the Fire Safety contract on terms that would be similar to the termination of the Police Services contract. In order for Landfall to remain with service, we are recommending that the City Council approve a month-to-month continuation of service as determined by the City Manager until such time that Landfall arranges for Police and Fire protection services from other agencies. This extension is not anticipated to exceed 6 months. Recommended Action It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a month-to- month contract for the extension of service for Police and Fire Protection services in the City of Landfall according to existing terms for up to 6 months; at which time, the contract shall be terminated with Landfall for Police Protection and Fire Protection Services in the best interests of the City of Maplewood. Packet Page Number 128 of 182 Agenda Item _I-5__ AGENDA REPORT TO: James Antonen, City Manager FROM: Chuck Ahl, Assistant City Manager RE: Approval of Resolution Authorizing Maintenance Agreement with MnDOT [Agmt. No. 2472] for the Former BNSF Bridge Number 62822 Over T.H. 694 Between White Bear Avenue and T.H. 61 DATE : December 5, 2012 INTRODUCTION The City maintains the railroad corridor for the Bruce Vento Trail from just north of Beam Avenue to just north of T.H. 694. An agreement on the maintenance of the bridge over T.H. 694 for this corridor is holding up the sale of this corridor to the Ramsey County Regional Rail Authority [RCRRA]. Approval of a maintenance agreement for the bridge is necessary to move the sale process forward. BACKGROUND From 2002 to 2006, the City of Maplewood was involved in a redevelopment effort for the Legacy Village area. As part of the environmental review of the area, the transportation improvements required the extension and realignment of County Road D. That realignment project required an abandonment of the railroad corridor owned by BNSF. Ramsey County had a grant to construction an extension of the Bruce Vento Trail from Beam Avenue north to Buerkle Road in White Bear Lake. An agreement was negotiated and executed in 2006 that provided for Maplewood to acquire the railroad right of way from BNSF, construct the Bruce Vento Trail extension, and to attempt to negotiate a re-sale of the railroad right of way to Ramsey County Regional Rail Authority [RCRRA]. All the provisions of the agreement were completed with the exception of the sale of the right of way to RCRRA. Negotiations on the sale of the right of way to RCRRA have been completed; however, the status of the bridge over 694 remains an open issue. A very complex issue that has state-wide significance revolves around the bridge ownership. The railroad right of way has existed since the 1850’s. The 694 corridor was begun in 1965, when MnDOT acquired an easement over the railroad right of way for the new freeway. Because the railroad pre-existed the freeway, MnDOT agreed to construct a crossing/bridge to maintain the railroad purpose. In addition, MnDOT agreed to maintain the crossing/bridge, while the railroad agreed to continue to maintain the rail and ballast for the rail purposes. Since 1969, when 694 was constructed, the bridge has been maintained by BNSF and the costs of maintenance were paid by MnDOT per the 1965 agreement. Maplewood purchased all of BNSF’s interests in the rail corridor in 2006. MnDOT agrees that they must still maintain the bridge, but are not certain if they actually own the bridge. The attached agreement provides for the continued maintenance of the bridge by MnDOT and is silent on the ownership of the bridge. Maplewood has a tentative agreement to sell the railroad right of way to RCRRA, and the question of whether Maplewood is selling the bridge to RCRRA is central to the current discussions/negotiations. In effect, Maplewood contends to MnDOT that we cannot sell what we did not buy from BNSF. Packet Page Number 129 of 182 The agreement establishes that MnDOT will continue to pay for the same maintenance on the bridge as they have since 1969. It changes the situation whereby the railroad corridor owner maintains the bridge and requests reimbursement from MnDOT to a situation whereby MnDOT does the actual work at their expense. Management and Attorneys representing RCRRA have reviewed this agreement and have requested revisions. It is Maplewood’s intent to assign this agreement [and the bridge that we do not own!] to RCRRA. The RCRRA Attorneys are revising and negotiating some of the terms of the agreement to be certain it is acceptable to them. Those final changes are not considered substantial to the final agreement. A draft of the agreement is attached, along with the resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute the agreement. Those minor changes will be subject to the Assistant City Manager and City Attorney review. Recommended Action It is recommended that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing the Maintenance Agreement with MnDOT [Agmt.No. 02472] for the former BNSF Bridge Number 62822 over T.H. 694 between White Bear Avenue and T.H. 61; subject to minor revisions that shall be approved by the Assistant City Manager and City Attorney.

Buffalo Wild Wings was approved as part of a planned unit development (PUD) which also includes TGI Fridays, Jared Jewelers, and a multi-tenant retail center. Requests Buffalo Wild Wings is requesting that the city approve the following requests to move forward with its remodel plans: 1. A revision to its conditional use permit (CUP)for a PUD. The PUD revision is needed due to the site plan change for Buffalo Wild Wing’s proposed building expansion. 2. Design review. Background May 24, 2004, the city council approved a preliminary plat, planned unit development, and design review for Chesapeake Retail Center. August 9, 2004, the city approved the building elevation changes for Buffalo Wild Wings and building plans, sign plans, and landscape plans for the multi-tenant building to be located in the center (this was not part of the original PUD). August 23, 2004, the city council approved the final plat for Chesapeake Retail Center. October 10, 2005, the city council approved an extension of the CUP for Chesapeake Retail Center. Agenda Item J1 Packet Page Number 137 of 182 DISCUSSION Planned Unit Development The property is zoned PUD, but had previously been zoned business commercial (BC). Within the BC zoning district restaurants and retail stores are permitted uses. A PUD was requested to allow flexibility from the city’s codes in order to produce a superior development. In addition, a PUD was required to assure cross easements and maintenance of all commonly owned property and facilities. The applicant is proposing to expand the existing patio to the west. The proposed patio would not be any closer to the private road, than the closest part of the existing building. Code does not specify specific building or patio setbacks from a private road. The existing patio seats 52 people. The proposed, expanded patio would seat 74 – for an increase of 22 people. This PUD was originally approved in 2004. Typically, when the city revises PUDs it will delete conditions that no longer apply or are completed. You will find in the staff recommendations and the attached PUD amendment resolution, staff did not delete any language. This was a complicated site and approval with so many users and shared resources that staff felt it was more important to leave the language in the PUD as is to ensure compliance into the future. Setbacks City code does not specify a required setback to a private road. Buffalo Wild Wings was originally approved to be approximately 13 feet off the private road owned by the Maplewood Mall. The proposed patio will be no closer to the private road than the closest part of the existing building. Parking No changes are proposed to any part of the parking lot at the Chesapeake Retail Center. The center currently has 342 parking spaces for the four restaurant/retail buildings while code requires 315 spaces. This means the center is “over-parked” by 27 spaces. With the small building expansion and added patio space, Buffalo Wild Wings would require an additional 18 parking spaces, which still leaves the center with nine “extra” spaces. Signs Signs are depicted on the renderings submitted to the city for review. The comprehensive sign plan for this site allows Buffalo Wild Wings three wall signs, but only one per elevation. Wall signs are limited in size to 20 percent of the gross wall area for which the sign is attached. These wall sign requirements are the same for all the standalone buildings at this center. On the proposed plans, the north elevation has two wall signs, which does not meet the sign plan for this site. When the applicant applies for sign permits all sign plan restrictions must be complied with. Packet Page Number 138 of 182 Building Design The original Buffalo Wild Wings building was proposed at 5,430 square feet in area and 27 feet in height. All four elevations consisted of EIFS, a 2-foot high concrete masonry block wainscot, and a few windows with black and yellow canopies above, mainly on the north elevation The revised Buffalo Wild Wings building will be approximately 300 square feet larger, but will remain at 27 feet in height. The building materials will consist of EIFS, thin brick veneer, horizontal wall paneling and additional windows. The a 2-foot high concrete masonry block wainscot around the base of the buildings will remain. Buffalo Wild Wings was required by the city council in include a 6-foot-high fence around the entire patio. This fence was constructed of tempered glass on top of block. Staff recommends the same style fence be installed around the expanded patio. Landscaping The approved Buffalo Wild Wings foundation landscape plan includes 13 ornamental trees, 159 shrubs, and several perennials. To build the additional patio space two or three of the required ornamental trees will have to be removed. The applicant should be required to replace any displaced trees. Staff recommends the locations of the new trees be approved by staff. In addition, all required foundation plantings should be remain in place and if any plants are damaged or killed due to the façade remodels the plants must be replaced as required by the previously approved landscape plan. Summary The proposed expansion is relatively minor but would constitute a revision to the approved site plan for the multi-building PUD and specifically Buffalo Wild Wing’s building foot print. OTHER COMMENTS Police Department: Deputy Chief Dave Kvam stated that he has no significant public safety concerns regarding the expanded and remodeled Buffalo Wild Wings. Building Department: Dave Fisher, building official, stated the project requires a building permit and signed documents by design professionals. Fire Department: Butch Gervais, fire marshal, stated Buffalo Wild Wings will need to make sure they make any necessary changes to the fire protection system to provide the proper coverage, they will be required to post the occupancy limits for the patio and the main restaurant. Public Works Department: Jon Jarosch, staff engineer, reviewed the plans and stated the applicant will need to provide erosion control items (silt fence, inlet protection, etc.). Applicant will also need to have a SAC/WAC review done, due to expanded capacity. Packet Page Number 139 of 182 COMMITTEE ACTION Planning Commission On November 20, 2012, the planning commission held a public hearing and recommended approval of the proposed revision to the PUD. The draft minutes from this meeting are attached. Community Design Review Board On November 27, 2012, the community design review board reviewed the building design plans for this project and recommended approval.

This project consists of the remodel of the existing Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant to update it to their new prototype trade dress, which will be an improvement over the aesthetics of the existing building and also an improvement to the customer entry experience and overall internal flow to the restaurant. Exterior work includes new signage and infilling the Northeast corner of the building and relocating the entry towards the center of the South elevation. The outdoor seating area will be enlarger to wrap the SW corner and will include a flat roof over it and a decorative metal railing. The existing roof top equipment screen will remain and will be painted black to blend and compliment with the rest of the new trade dress. The existing area lighting, parking and drive lanes are not included in the scope of this remodel. Request for Approval The proposed remodel of the existing Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant does not change the current use of the property nor does it deviate from City code. The remodel will result in desirable physical enhancements to the existing building. Therefore we believe the city should approve the request to amend the PUD to allow the proposed modifications to the existing building.

Packet Page Number 158 of 182 1 Agenda Item J2 MEMORANDUM TO: Jim Antonen, City Manager FROM: Shann Finwall, AICP, Environmental Planner SUBJECT: Approval of the Annual Sustainability Report DATE: December 5, 2012 for the December 10 City Council Meeting INTRODUCTION Maplewood’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan outlines the City’s vision for sustainability as follows: The City of Maplewood, in order to ensure stewardship of its environment, will promote sustainable development and practices for the preservation, design, and maintenance of its natural and built environments. Developments and practices should maintain or enhance economic opportunity and community well-being while protecting and restoring the natural environment that people, economies, and ecological systems depend on. The Annual Sustainability Report is provided as an update on the City’s sustainability goals and to obtain comment and feedback on strategies needed to continue the mission. DISCUSSION Environmental and Natural Resources Commission The Environmental and Natural Resources (ENR) Commission is charged with developing and promoting sustainable practices for City policies and procedures. In 2012 the ENR Commission worked on the following environmental issues: 1. Annual Review of the Maplewood Residential Recycling Program 2. Capital Improvement Plan for 2013 - 2017 3. Maplewood Trash Plan Implementation – Trash Cart Purchase and Implementation Plan 4. Solid Waste Management Ordinance and Standards 5. Spring Clean Up and Home Expo (April 21) 5. Waterfest (June 2) 7. East Metro Public Safety Training Center and Marshlands – Review of Project and Wetland Impacts 8. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Phase II and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit 2011 Annual Report 9. 3M Trail Concept Plans – Semi-Public Trail Within the Wetland Buffer 10.

Living Streets Policy 17. Shoreland/Wetland Ordinance Amendments Minnesota Green Step Cities Overview of Program Minnesota GreenStep Cities is a voluntary challenge, assistance and recognition program to help cities achieve their sustainability goals through implementation of 28 best practices. Each best practice focus on cost savings and energy use reduction, and encourage innovation. The program outlines four “Steps” of recognition: Step One – pass a resolution authorizing the city to participate in the program, register, and provide details of best practices accomplished; Step Two – implement at least 8 best practices; Step Three – implement at least 16 best practices; Step Four – this recognition Step is still being refined by the GreenStep Cities steering committee. Maplewood Participation The City of Maplewood has been participating in the Minnesota GreenStep Cities program since December 2010. There are currently 49 other cities participating in the program. GreenStep Award Each June the League of Minnesota Cities formally recognizes all new and continuing GreenStep Cities at its annual conference. Last year, the first year of Maplewood’s participation in the program, the City was recognized as a Step Two city for having accomplished 12 best practices, well above the 8 needed to achieve this status. Since that time the City has implemented 4 more best practices, for a total of 16. On June 21 the City was again recognized as a Step Two city. Step Three was not accomplished due to the fact that only 4 of the 9 “required” best practices have been implemented. However, many of those are close to being finished including: 1. Complete Green Streets (Living Streets Policy) – the City must formally adopt a Living or Green Streets Policy. 2. Mobility Options – the City must launch an active living campaign, identify on the City’s website mobility options, and launch an e-WorkPlace Minnesota campaign. 3. Benchmarks and Community Engagement – The City must organize goals and outcome measures from all city plans and report to community members data that show progress toward meeting those goals. This could include reporting measurable outcomes from the City’s comprehensive plan or sustainability initiatives. 4. Green Business Development – Support new emerging green businesses and green jobs through targeted assistance. This could include creating a Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program. The City will continue to work toward implementing these best practices. We hope to have achieved the Step Three recognition by 2013. Packet Page Number 160 of 182 3 GreenStep Cities Milestone – Organized Trash Collection The GreenStep Cities advisors awarded Maplewood three stars for the implementation of best practice number 27 (Solid Waste Reduction). The organization of the City’s residential solid waste collection system proved to be a large undertaking for the City in 2012. The City revised its solid waste management ordinance and created standards for the new system. The City purchased trash carts and managed the cart orders from residents. The carts were delivered by the City’s trash hauling contractor, Allied Waste Services, in September. The new organized solid waste system officially began on October 1, 2012. The Maplewood Trash Plan will allow the City to better manage its solid waste. One example of better management is the fact that all residential trash will now be processed at the Resource Recovery Facility in Newport. At the facility trash is sorted to remove items which can be recycled, and the remainder turned into refuse residual which is burned to create energy. Previously, some of Maplewood’s residential trash was being disposed of in landfills. In 2013 the City will begin planning for other aspects of the program including a residential compost collection system and pay as you throw methods to reduce waste. Environmental Projects Living Streets Project and Policy Maplewood completed its first Living Streets project in 2012 - Bartelmy-Meyer Street Improvements. The City received a grant through Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District to conduct the project which included: 1. Narrowed streets from 30 feet down to 24 feet. 2. Added sidewalks adjacent to every street. 3. Increased rainwater garden participation. 4. Additional tree plantings throughout the neighborhood. 5. Reduced cost and future maintenance. In 2011, the Living Streets Task force developed a Living Streets Policy for the design of new and reconstructed streets. In 2012 all Commissions and Boards reviewed the policy and offered comment and feedback. Final review by the City Council is scheduled for early 2013. Under the policy street design will address the safety and accessibility of transportation issues, as well as the environmental impacts to the neighborhood. Living Streets policy objectives include: 1. Improved water quality/reduced storm water runoff 2. Improved pedestrian/bike safety 3. Reduced traffic speeds 4. Enhanced urban forest 5. Promotion of active living Packet Page Number 161 of 182 4 Beaver Creek Preserve Initial stage of woodland and prairie restoration completed on the Beaver Creek Preserve. New Rain Gardens and Sustainable Plantings 1. Joy Park rain gardens and shoreline buffer. 2. Western Hills Park rain gardens. 3. Maplewood Community Center plantings - south entrance. City Dump Site The Maplewood Dump operated for the disposal of general municipal solid waste and industrial waste from the 1950s to 1970. The site is located north of Pondview Apartments, south of the railroad tracks, east of Feed Products and Jim’s Prairie, and west of Rolling Hills Manufactured Home Park. On April 5, 2012 the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency approved a Response Action Plan (RAP) for the cleanup of the dump site. The intent of the RAP is to facilitate the closure of the site by preventing direct human contact with surface debris and impacted soil material and to reduce potential of the Beaver Creek bed to be in contact with waste debris. The cleanup of the site should be complete by the end of the year. Clean up includes the removal and proper disposal or recycling of exposed large debris on the surface; construction of a culvert to divert Beaver Creek through the former dump area in order to reduce potential contact with waste in the current creek bed; and placement of a soil cover over the former municipal solid waste material. Revegetation of the area is scheduled for 2013. Gladstone Savanna The City has completed soil remediation, rain garden basin installation, and historical investigation as part of the overall project this year. Green Team The Green Team is made up of a group of staff who work together on environmental and sustainability issues at a city operation level. The Green Team acts as the steering committee for the GreenStep Cities program. In addition to working on creating more sustainable city operations, the Green Team’s 2012 goal was to work toward one of the GreenStep Cities best practices - implementing a local foods campaign. A local foods brochure and webpage are being designed to guide employees and residents toward healthy and local food options. As part of the local foods campaign, the Green Team partnered with the City’s Wellness Committee on the promotion of healthy eating to include a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) drop site at the Maplewood Community Center for employees. CSA members received weekly shares of vegetables and fruit from a local grower. Packet Page Number 162 of 182 5 Sustainable City Operations Fleet The City has 136 vehicles in its fleet. These vehicles are used to meet city service demands including providing public safety and maintaining city roads, sanitary and storm sewer systems, and park land. The City, in an effort to create the most efficient fleet possible, previously completed a fleet audit and a subsequent policy to improve fleet sustainability. Strategies outlined in the policy include: 1. “Right sizing” the fleet – matching vehicle type with its intended use 2. Conversion to biofuels 3. Conversion to high efficiency and hybrid vehicles 4. Driver education and behavior programs 5. Greening fleet maintenance In 2012 the City is continuing to right-size its fleet and upgrade fuel system software to meet the goals of the policy. Snow and Ice Control In 2012 one of the City’s snow plows will be retrofitted for use of liquids. Pre-wetting the pavement will allow the salt material to stick to the road rather than run off. This will create a more efficient and environmentally sound snow and ice control program. If the pilot program is successful, the City hopes to retrofit the entire snow plow fleet over the coming years.   Turf Management The City has increased the amount of no-mow areas at parks, allowing more areas to grow naturally. This reduces emissions from mowing, pesticide applications, and maintenance costs. Building Operations - Solar Energy Panels To promote clean and renewable energy, the City installed solar arrays on the roof of the Maplewood Community Center and City Hall campus grounds. Environmental Programs and Education Maplewood Nature Center The Naturalist at the Maplewood Nature Center offer environmental education programming throughout the year. Programming is designed for school groups, preschools, scouts, birthday parties and adult education. Packet Page Number 163 of 182 6 The Nature Center also supports several environmental programs including: 1. Curbside buckthorn pickup. 2. Tree purchase rebate for planting shade trees. 3. Created interpretive trail guide for Priory Preserve. 4. Waterfest 5. Maplewood Mall’s grand celebration of stormwater management features. 6. Gathering on the Bluff – special event for Fish Creek. 7. Citizen monitoring programs for: bluebirds, frogs and toads, invasive species, and preserves. Maplewood Seasons The City publishes a quarterly environmental insert called Maplewood Seasons. Each quarter the Seasons focus on important environmental topics. Environmental Recognitions Tree City USA The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters. The program provides direction, technical assistance, public attention, and national recognition for urban and community forestry programs. In 2012 the City of Maplewood was awarded Tree City USA status for meeting the four standards of the program: 1. Comprehensive tree management program. 2. Tree care ordinance. 3. Community forestry program. 4. Arbor Day observation (tree planting held at Lion’s Park) and proclamation. Environmental Stewardship Award In November 2012 the City of Maplewood was selected for an Environmental Stewardship Award by the American Public Works Association – Minnesota Chapter. The award recognized Maplewood’s extraordinary environmental leadership efforts. Blue Star City The City of Maplewood recently registered for the Minnesota Blue Star Award Program. The program assesses a City on a wide range of policies and practices in three core areas: 1) Water Friendly Planning and Preservation; 2) Stormwater Management Standards and Practices; and 3) Stormwater Pollution Prevention. Cities that score high enough earn the Blue Star Award and are recognized as leaders in protecting Minnesota’s water resources and public health through excellence in stormwater management. Packet Page Number 164 of 182 7 After registering and submitting our assessment, the City of Maplewood received a score of 139 out of 193 possible points. This placed Maplewood fourth in stormwater management out of 69 participating cities Statewide. Summary Maplewood is in a unique position to implement and influence sustainability by the policies we set, by the approaches we use in City operations, and by the promotion of sustainability through City-wide education. The City should continue to strive to be a leader in the area of sustainability. RECOMMENDATION Review the information provided in the annual sustainability report and offer comments and feedback.

This was because of the potential for tall grass and unkempt parking areas in residential neighborhoods. The council, however, directed the planning commission and community design review board to look into a provision that would allow multi-family developments to install reinforced-turf parking surfaces on a case-by-case basis. Their feeling was that multi- family developments have lawn-maintenance services caring for their property and would be able to maintain such parking surfaces. Request Consider whether the city council should amend the reinforced-turf parking code for application in multi-family developments. BACKGROUND On July 23, 2012, the city council approved a parking ordinance amendment to permit reinforced-turf parking lots on a limited basis. Refer to the attached ordinance. On November 20, 2012, the planning commission recommended that the city council take no action on amending the parking ordinance to allow reinforced-turf parking surfaces for multi-family developments for the following reasons: . 1. Parked cars on such a surface would be an obstruction to proper, mowing, fertilizing and weed control. 2. Since it would not be feasible to prohibit winter use, snow plowing would damage the grass. 3. Setbacks could be hard to maintain without a clear parking lot edge as would be evident by a hard-surfaced parking lot. Agenda Item J3 Packet Page Number 166 of 182 On November 27, 2012, the community design review board recommended that the city council take no action on amending this ordinance, based on the same reasons as the planning commission. DISCUSSION The existing turf-parking ordinance limits the use of such parking surfaces to “occasional” and “non-winter” applications. For multi-family parking needs, the city would need to amend these rules to allow continual, year-around use. As supported by the planning commission and community design review board, staff feels that reinforced-turf parking lots are not feasible for multi-family developments for the reasons noted above. If the city council wishes to amend the ordinance to allow reinforced-turf parking surfaces for multi-family applications, staff has included language that would allow it. RECOMMENDATION 1. Take no action on amending the parking ordinance to allow reinforced-turf parking surfaces for multi-family developments. 2. If the city council would like to revise the parking ordinance to allow reinforced-turf parking surfaces for multi-family developments, the council should adopt the proposed changes in the attached ordinance amendment. p:ord\Parking\Turf Parking for Multiple Dwellings CC Report 12 12 te Attachment: 1. Parking Ordinance Amendment Packet Page Number 167 of 182 ORDINANCE NO. ___ AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CONCERNING REINFORCED-TURF PARKING LOTS FOR MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS The Maplewood City Council approves the following revision to the Maplewood Code of Ordinances. (Additions are underlined.) Section 1. Section 44-17 (e) of the Maplewood Code of Ordinances is hereby amended as follows: Sec. 44-17. Off-Street Parking. (e) All parking lots and associated driveways shall have a surface of bituminous material or concrete and single-striped spaces. The city council may permit the alternative parking method of reinforced-turf parking when it would meet the following criteria:  When the need for overflow parking is infrequent or limited to occasional parking events.  Where there is already hard-surfaced parking that provides for handicap-accessible parking needs.  Where the turf parking lot would meet setback and screening requirements.  Where the parking need is seasonal (non-winter) so snow plowing is not needed.  Where there would be an environmental benefit due to storm water management or meeting shoreland/wetland/flood plain ordinance impact needs.  Where the turf parking plan meets the approval of the city engineer from the standpoint of using proven construction materials engineered for durability, aesthetics and that are preferably made of a recyclable material.  This parking surface alternative shall not apply to single and double dwelling residential properties which are governed under Section 44-17 (j), the residential parking ordinance apply.  An exception to the above criteria is that multi-family developments may install reinforced-turf parking lots for overflow parking needs. Reinforced-turf parking lots may be allowed year-around, not just on an occasional-use basis. Multi-family parking lots shall be subject to the same requirements as set forth above with the exception of not being limited to “occasional” use. Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect after the approval by the city council and publishing in the official newspaper. The Maplewood City Council approved this ordinance revision on ___________.
