As the project area lies adjacent to Battle Creek, with a significant difference in grade,
improvements to the storm sewer system will be challenging. As such, it is proposed to complete a
drainage study as part of the feasibility process. The City Council authorized the preparation of a
feasibility study for the project at the June 24, 2019 regular meeting. The budget at that time
accounted for the preparation of a drainage study.

RFP, including the lowest price.
Summary of Draft Recycling Contract
Following are the substantial points outlined in the draft recycling contract:
1.Contract Term: Five and one-half years, beginning January 2020 and ending June 2025.
2.Recycling Service Levels: Collection of curbside recycling will take place weekly. Residents
will have the option of three different size recycling carts (35, 65, 95 gallon). Collection of
centralized multi-family recycling willalso take place weekly, with some of the multi-family
properties converting to recycling dumpstersinstead of recycling carts.
3.Collection Day Service Areas: No changes to the existing system. The recycling collection
day service area will continue as a five-day collection route.
4.Billing: No changes to the existing system. Tennis Sanitation will bill the City of Maplewood
for the overall number of recycling households. The City will add the recycling fee onto the
residents’ water bill.
5.Recycling Rates: Maplewood has had some of the lowest recycling rates in the Twin City
area since entering into a contract with Tennis Sanitation in 2011. Tennis Sanitation
currently charges the City $2.86 per household per month for recycling. The City charges
residents $3.54 per household per month for recycling.The City pays Tennis Sanitation out
of these funds, with the remaining going into the City’s recycling fund to help support the
recycling program.
The new contract outlines recycling rates with Contractor-supplied recycling carts at $4 per
household per month for any size cart in 2020, with increases of $.25 per year, to $5.25 per
household per month in 2025. If the City purchases recycling carts, Tennis Sanitation’s
proposal outlined an increaseinprices to $4.50 per household per month for any sizecart in
2020, with increases of $.25 per year, to $5.75 per household per month in 2025. The cost
for City-owned carts would be reduced by $.10 if the City purchases carts through Tennis
Sanitation’s preferred cart manufacturer(prices ranging from $4.40to $5.65).No taxes are
charged on recycling.
6.City Facilities:No changes to the existing system. Tennis Sanitation will continue to collect
recycling at City facilitiesat no charge.
7.Small Business and Church Recycling: Small businesses and churches can continue to opt
into the City’s residential curbside recycling program. In addition to supplying 95 gallon
Packet Page Number 41 of 277
J2
recycling carts to small businesses and churches at the same cost as the residential rates,
the new contract will allow collection of recyclables from a recycling dumpster at a cost of
$45 per month for the term of the contract.
8.Reports:Tennis Sanitation will continue to supply the City with monthly and annual reports.
The new contract will include additional details in the reports including alist of resident
addresses that consistently do not set out recyclables and gallons of fuel or mileage of
vehicles traveled for the City’s greenhouse gas assessment.
9.Work Plan:No changes to the current system. Yearly Tennis Sanitation will submit an
annual work plan outlining key priorities for system improvements.
10.Public Education:As with the current recycling contract, the City will draft an annual solid
waste educational flyer to include both recycling and trash information. The flyer will be
approved by the recycling and trash contractors. The contractor will pay for the design,
publication, and distribution of the flyer.Additionally, a new system to help assure accuracy
of the Contractor’s customer service center responses to residents’ inquiries has been
included (e.g., prescribed frequently asked questions customized to the specific Maplewood
solid waste program).
11.Liquidated Damages:The liquidated damages section includes a new incident escalation
procedure which will provide a general guide for managing communications. One new
liquidated damageis included in the contractincluding failure to provide adequate notice
and coordination to prevent mixed public messages about collection delays due to severe
weather incidents.
Recycling Cart/DumpsterIssues to Consider
Trash Carts
The City purchased 10,330 trash carts in 2012 for the new organized trash hauling system. The
trash carts have a ten-year warranty, and could be used for 20 years. The total cost was $404,876,
which was financed through a seven-year utility bond. The City charges residents $0.75 per
household per month on their trash bill to cover the cost of the trash cart utility bond. The final
payment for the trash cart utility bond was made in January 2019. The average yearly replacement
cost for trash carts is $25,000. City staff will be developing a cash flow plan for replacement trash
carts and a financial management plan to determine the rate of future trash cart fees under the new
trash contract.
Recycling Carts
Tennis Sanitation currently supplies the recycling carts for the City’s single and multi-family
curbside recycling program. The RFP requested recycling pricing with City-owned recycling carts.
Benefits of City-Owned Recycling Carts:
o Contract pricing: Better recycling rate pricing in future recycling contracts. The cost of
the Contractor-supplied recycling carts does not have to be amortized for the life of the
contract.
o Aesthetics: Recycling and trash carts would match improving appearance and
consistency throughout the city.
o Education and Branding: Ability to customize hot stamp markings, in mold education
labels, and city branding.
Packet Page Number 42 of 277
J2
o Ownership: Complete ownership of the cart fleet for both the trash and recycling
programs.
o Warranty: New ten-year warranty on the carts
Purchase of City-Owned Carts: Recently City staff received three quotes from cart
manufacturing companies for the purchase of 11,970 recycling carts. Carts would be offered in
three different sizes including 35, 65, and 95 gallon. Based on the quotes received, the
approximate cost to purchase recycling carts for the City’s recycling program would be
$468,000, which includes cart cost and freight. The City of Maplewood is eligible to receive a
grant from the Ramsey County Recycling Cart Grant Program whichwould cover the cost of 50
percent of the new recycling carts, or approximately $234,000.
The City’s recycling reserve fund could pay for the cost of the carts as one option to financing.
Future recycling cart purchases could be funded by a recycling cart fee, similar to the trash cart
fee. Using the yearly trash cart replacement costs outlined above, the estimated cart fee for
replacement carts would be approximately $.50 per household per month. Alternatively, the
City could capture the cost of the replacement carts through general increases in the recycling
fee.
New Contract Pricing: The new contract outlines two pricing scenarios: 1) Contractor-owned
recycling carts at a rate of $4 per household per month for year one, and increasing by $.25 per
household per month per year of the contract; and 2) City-owned recycling carts at a rate of
$4.50 per household per month for year one, and increasing by $.25 per household per month
per year of the contract. The cost of the City-owned recycling carts would be reduced by $.10
per household per month if the City purchases the carts through Tennis Sanitation’s preferred
cart manufacturer.
Tennis Sanitation proposed better pricing for Contractor-supplied recycling carts over City-
owned carts. When questioned why, they stated that the service descriptions as outlined in the
RFP which requires maintenance, repairs, andmanaging inventory would require that they hire
one full-time employee to manage City-owned carts. The proposed increase from Contractor-
supplied to City-owned carts as identified in their proposal would cover that employee’s wages.
Recycling Dumpsters
It is estimated that 10 to 20 multi-family developments would benefit from the collection of
recyclables in recycling dumpsters instead of carts. The new contract outlines Contractor-supplied
recycling dumpsters if there are 21 units or more in the multi-family dwelling. The City could also
purchase the recycling dumpsters. However, it is in the City’s best interest to have the Contractor
supply the dumpsters as they will purchase and manage the dumpsters at no additional cost to the
City.
New Contract
The new contract outlines Contractor-owned and City-owned recycling cart scenarios. If/when the
City purchases the recycling carts, the cost of the recycling rates will automatically change to the
City-owned recycling cart rates.

Recyclable Materials Transported to Markets
Upon Collection by the City’s Recycling Contractor, the Contractor shall deliver the
designated Recyclables as outlined in Appendix C to a Recyclable Material processing
center, an end market for sale or reuse, or to an intermediate Collection center for later
delivery to a processing center or end market. It is unlawful for any person to transport for
disposal or to dispose of designated Recyclables in a mixed municipal solid waste disposal
facility. The Contractor shall not landfill, incinerate, compost or use the Recyclables as fuel
for waste to energy.
Processing Facilities
The Contractor shallassure the City that adequate Recyclable Material processing capacity
will be provided for City material collected. The Contractor shall provide written notice to
the City at least sixty (60) days in advance of any substantial change in plans for receiving
and processing Recyclables collected from the City.
Estimating Materials Composition as Collected
The Contractor shall conduct at least one materials composition analysis of the City’s
Recyclables during October of each year to estimate the relative amount by weight of each
recyclable commodity by grade. The results of this analysis shall include:
1. Percent by weight of each recyclable commodity by grade as collected from the City;
2. Relative change compared to the previous year’s composition;
3. Percent by weight of the contaminants as collected from the City; and
4. A description of the methodology used to calculate the composition, including
number of samples, dates weighed, and City route(s) used for sampling. The
Contractor shall provide the City with a copy of the analysis for each year of the

6.Waste Management – Alternate 1 (Bundled Trash/Recycling), Alternate 2 (Trash), and
Alternate 3 (Recycling)
On July 22, 2019, the City Council authorized City staff to negotiate draft residential trash and
recycling contracts with the top ranked respondents – Republic Services for trash collection and
Tennis Sanitation for recycling collection.
Ramsey County Support
Ramsey County has offered the City of Maplewood technical support through their Public Entities
Solid Waste Technical Assistance Program. Foth Infrastructure and Environment, the County’s
solid waste consultants, assisted the City in drafting the RFP, conducting a financial review of the
proposals, and assisted in negotiating and drafting the draft contracts.
Proposal Review Committee
The Proposal Review Committee included two City Councilmembers (Councilmembers Juenemann
and Knutson), three Environmental and Natural Resources Commissioners (Commissioners Palzer,
Miller, and Sinn), three City staff (Shann Finwall, Michael Martin, and Jeff Thomson) and one
County staff (Rae Frank). Dan Krivit of Foth Infrastructure and Environment and his team
completed cost analysis of the proposals. To analyze the proposals, the Committee held three
review meetings and conducted interviews of selected respondents.
Proposal Review Rankings
The proposal ranking system was per six criteria weightings outlined in the RFP including
economics, environmental, responsiveness, qualifications, safety, and education. The Proposal
Review Committee was diligent in evaluating the relative strengths and weaknesses of each
proposal as fairly and objectively as possible.
As a result of the Proposal Review Committee’s careful evaluations, Republic Services was ranked
as the number one respondent for Residential Curbside Trash and Yard Waste. Republic Services
Packet Page Number 81 of 277
J3
had the best overall scores in the Trash Only Alternate category when evaluated against all six
criteria as per the RFP, including the lowest price.
Summary of Draft Trash Contract
Following are the substantial points outlined in the draft trash and yard waste contract:
1. Contract Term: Five and one-half years, beginning January 2020 and ending June 2025.
2. Trash Carts: No changes to the existing system. The City will own the trash carts and
Republic Services will manage the carts.
3. Collection Day Service Areas: No changes to the existing system. The trash collection day
service area will continue as a five-day collection route.
4. Trash Service Levels: No changes to the existing system. The City will continue to offer five
trash service levels including every week collection of 95 gallon, 65 gallon, 35 gallon, and 20
gallon carts; and every other week collection of a 20 gallon cart.
5. Billing: No changes to the existing system. Republic Services will continue to do the billing
for the City’s residential trash and yard waste collection.
6. Trash Hauling Rates: Maplewood has had some of the lowest trash hauling rates in the
Twin City area since the City organized its trash hauling system in 2012. The current trash
hauling rates range from $9.79 to $14.66 per month, depending on cart size (prices include
all taxes and a $.75 cart fee). The new year-one rates (2020) range from $12.43 to $22.75
per month (including taxes and cart fee). This is an average of 32 percent increase from
2019 to the year-one contract rates (2020).
Some of the increase in trash rates is due to the discontinuation of the hauler rebate at the
Recycling and Energy Center. When the center was privately owned, the counties provided
a hauler rebate (subsidy) to waste haulers to encourage them to bring waste to the center
instead of landfills. Now under public ownership, the counties require trash be delivered to
the center by law, and the hauler subsidy is no longer needed.
The rates are separated into three parts including trash collection (the cost to collect the
trash from the curb), trash disposal (the cost of tipping the trash at the Resource and Energy
Center in Newport), and the taxes and fees (state solid waste tax, county environmental fee,
and cart fee). Republic Services’ proposal included the lowest trash hauling rates of all six
proposals submitted as outlined below:

65 gallon weekly $12.92 $18.92
95 gallon weekly $14.66 $22.75
7. Pay as you Throw (PAYT): Yearly the City will meet with Republic Services to review the
PAYT price schedule. This will provide price increments between trash service levels for
each subsequent year after year-one of the contract. The goal is for price increments to be
at least 50% by year-five of the contract. To create the PAYT price increment schedule
between service levels the City will propose adjustments to the disposal cost only. The
disposal cost is a pass through cost, collected by Republic Services and passed through to
Ramsey and Washington County for disposing of the trash at the Recycling and Energy
Center. To create larger increments between service levels, greater portions of the disposal
costs will be added to the larger size carts.

8. Yard Waste: The City’s current contract with Republic Services offers a yard waste
subscription. Yard waste is collected weekly from April through November in a 65 gallon

City’s yard waste subscription is $85.33, which includes all taxes and fees.
The new contract also offers a yearly yard waste subscription. Yard waste will be collected
weekly from April through November in a 95 gallon yard waste cart (previous contract used
a 65 gallon cart), with up to five compostable bags of yard waste on the side. The cost of
the yard waste subscription will be $120 for the first year of the contract, increasing slightly
each year to a price of $140.38 for year five of the contract (2024). The yard waste cost
includes all taxes and fees.
9. Bulky Item Collection: The City’s current contract with Republic Services offers curbside
bulky item collection ranging from $5 to $30, depending on the item.
The new contract also offers curbside bulky item collection ranging from $10 to $35,
depending on the item.
10. Spring Clean Up: Currently the City contracts with a separate hauler for the annual Spring
Clean Up event held at Aldrich Arena. The City’s yearly average costs for contracting the
event is $10,000 to $15,000. The new contract will require that Republic Services support
collections at the Spring Clean Up at no charge.
11. Fall Clean Up Campaign: No changes to the current system. Republic Services will offer
reduced price curbside bulky item collection during the first four full weeks of October. The
contract specifies a reduced rate of 20 percent below the bulky item rates outlined in the
contract.
12. City Facilities: Currently the City contracts with a separate hauler for the City’s trash and
organics collection at City facilities. The City’s yearly average costs for trash and organics

new contract will require that Republic Services support these collections at City facilities at
no charge.

Pay As You Throw (PAYT) Pricing Schedule
City policy provides that the price increments between Trash service levels for the total
price of Collection (including disposal, all taxes, and any City cart fee) increase each
year after the first Agreement year. The City’s PAYT policy goal is for price increments
to be at least fifty percent (50%) by Agreement year five (1/1/2024 through 12/31/2024).
The City and the Contractor will meet annually in August to create a PAYT price
schedule for each subsequent year.
To create the PAYT price increment schedule between service levels, the price
schedule will be based on two separate price components:
1. The trash collection service level prices outlined for the table below (Trash
Collection Service at Single-Family Dwellings).
2. The disposal fees (actual R&E Center tipping fees minus any applicable rebates
for each future year) will be reviewed and adjusted by cart sizeannually by the
City based on the tipping fees and number of residents using the various sizes.
City staff will consult with the Contractor about the proposed changes in disposal fees
and PAYT price schedule each year prior to taking the proposed changes to the City
Council for review and action.

REPORT TO:
REPORT FROM: Michael Martin, AICP, Assistant Community Development Director
PRESENTER: Michael Martin, AICP, Assistant Community Development Director
Maplewood 2040 Comprehensive Plan
AGENDA ITEM:
a. Resolution Adopting Comprehensive Plan (4 votes)
b. Authorize Preparation of Required Zoning Code and Map
Amendments
Action Requested: Motion Discussion Public Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution Ordinance Contract/Agreement Proclamation
Policy Issue:
After more than two years of planning and multiple phases of community engagement,
Maplewood’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan is ready for formal adoption by the city council. On
November 13, 2018, the city council authorized staff to submit the draft plan to the Metropolitan
Council for its official review. On August 28, 2019, Metropolitan Council approved Maplewood 2040
Comprehensive Plan. The Metropolitan Council required additional information and minor
modifications to the transportation and sanitary sewer chapters before it deemed Maplewood’s plan
complete for review. No changes were required to the plan’s future land use map.
The last remaining step of the comprehensive plan update process is for the city council to approve
the resolution attached to this report which formally adopts the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The
2040 Comprehensive Plan will become effective immediately upon adoption of the attached
resolution.
After adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan the city is required by Minnesota State Statute to
update its official controls. To achieve the community’s goals outlined in the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan, the city needs to ensure its zoning code and map are updated to be consistent with these
priorities.
Recommended Action:
a. Motion to approve the resolution adopting Maplewood’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan and give
staff the authority to make non-substantive changes for clarity or to correct typographical
errors as the final document is prepared for printing as well as placement on the City’s
website.
b. Motion to authorize the preparation of required zoning code and map amendments and to
utilize the services of HKGi to complete the zoning work.

Every 10 years, all Twin Cities metro communities are required to update their comprehensive
plans to ensure compatibility with the regional plans adopted by the Metropolitan Council. Chapters
and areas of focus include land use, housing, sustainability, parks, natural resources,
transportation, historical resources, surface water and sanitary sewer.
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan focuses on guiding the redevelopment of important existing
developed neighborhoods in the City, as well as the future development and growth of remaining
undeveloped areas in Maplewood. As such, the city’s zoning code and map need to be updated to
be consistent of the new 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Background
2040 Comprehensive Plan
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan has 15 chapters, comprising the traditional elements of land use,
parks, transportation, and infrastructure, as well as the specialized areas of historic resources and
sustainability. The planning process identified four guiding principles that are woven throughout the
document – resilience, equity, health, and age-friendliness.
Links to the individual chapters of the plan can be found below. A hard copy of the plan is available
at city hall.

Re: Comprehensive Plan Follow-Up Zoning Code Conformance Project
Dear Mr. Martin:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal for the Comprehensive Plan Follow-Up
Zoning Code Conformance Project. We are excited about the opportunity to continue to work
with the City on the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
The following proposal is based on our conversations, review of the direction set forth in the
Comprehensive Plan, and our experience with similar projects.
APPROACH
The work plan is broken into two phases recognizing that there may be different ways to
implement the direction set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. The first phase will be to identify,
evaluate and select the preferred approach to updating the zoning code. The second phase will
then include preparing the draft amendments, conducting community outreach, and assisting in
the approval process for zoning amendments. It is anticipated that the tasks outline in Phase 2
may change in consultation with City Staff at the conclusion of Phase 1. A revised work plan and
budget would be prepared at that time if it is needed.

The land in what is now Maplewood was originally under the control of the
Dakota Indian nation. This land became available to settlers after 1837 when
the United States government purchased all the Dakota lands east of the
Mississippi River. However, development was slow in the area. The 1849
Census of Little Canada and St. Anthony (Minneapolis) reported: males, 352;
females, 219.

the townships were organized, the one north of St. Paul was called New
Canada Township. This included parts of Maplewood.
The settlers’ farms, for which they had paid the government $2 an acre, were
scattered along Maple Street (now called County Road C), and near the old
Indian Trail (now called Hazelwood Street). They built a log schoolhouse in

The township that was to be Maplewood got its distinctive shape in 1887.
The part of McLeod Township lying north of St. Paul and south of New
Canada was divided between the two communities, with the new boundary at
Larpenteur Avenue. This left a mile-wide strip of McLeod Township (McKnight
to Century) that was incorporated into New Canada. Also, the residents of the
northeast corner withdrew from the township to organize into the village of

of New Canada Township, North St. Paul and parts of Washington County
formed Consolidated School District 622 in 1952.
Change was in the air in the 1950s. Little Canada incorporated in 1953,
many to attend annual town meetings. Rapid growth had already led to the
appointment of a planning commission, adoption of a building code and the
enlargement of the two-constable police force.
The urbanization was creating pressing problems with sanitary sewer service.
The township was making efforts to connect to the St. Paul sewer system
to get relief from the sewer problems. In 1955, 3M Company built its Central
Research Laboratory on 150 acres along what was Highway 12. This is the
nucleus of its world-wide headquarters that now cover 420 acres north of
Interstate 94 and employs about 12,000 people. Additionally, a plan was afoot

for St. Paul to annex this area.

As a result of this threat, the residents voted to incorporate all of the
unincorporated land in the Township of New Canada into the village of
Maplewood. The city is spread out over about 19 square miles to the north
and east of St. Paul. The action kept 3M property as part of its tax base, the

In many communities, including Maplewood, there are barriers that prevent
all residents from having the same opportunities to thrive. For instance,
race, ethnicity, and age continue to be predictors of health, education,
income, housing, and recreation. The Comprehensive Plan seeks to identify
and address the obstacles and disparities that lead to inequities within our
community. It is important to note that a focus on equity does not mean
providing equal access to the same amount of resources. History, systematic

The Gladstone Neighborhood Development Plan was completed in 2007
to guide redevelopment in the area. The plan includes a conceptual
redevelopment plan, including proposed housing densities and commercial
components that responded to market forces. While implementation of the
market, adherence to the plan’s guiding principles will ensure development
will achieve the community’s vision. These guiding principles include:
¼ That the neighborhood maintains the resemblance of its historic past as
a “village” marked by organic building patterns and a mix of uses.
¼ That the regional trails be celebrated as village corridors where the
neighborhood embraces them rather than relegate them.
¼ That Gladstone becomes a compelling “quality of life” choice offering a
great place to live, work, and play with an enduring quality of design. A
sustainable community.
¼ That natural and ecological functions are “woven” into the built and
recreational fabric of the neighborhood, community and region rather
¼ That the story of Gladstone is told (or “whispered”) through the design
and improvements of public and private spaces.
¼ That walkability becomes “the” standard when it comes to urban design
and mobility in Gladstone.
¼ That all stages of life are welcomed and embraced through the
arrangement of uses and design of space throughout the neighborhood.

Beginning in 2016 the area also saw private investment in the neighborhood.
The Frost English Village will be completed in three phases. Phase 1, which
opened in the summer of 2016 included a 4-story, 50 unit rental apartment
building. Phase II, currently underway, will include a senior rental building.
Phase III, which will occur in 2018 will include a 6,500 square foot commercial

A study of the 85-acre Hillcrest Village area, located in both Maplewood and
St. Paul, was completed in 2002. The area is fully developed with commercial,
residential, and high-density senior housing land uses. There is a 1950s-era
strip shopping center and other strip commercial uses located along the
major roadway corridors of Larpenteur Avenue, White Bear Avenue, North St.
Paul Road, and Frost Avenue. The intent for the study was to identify how to
revitalize the area’s retail and make the area walkable.
Phase I of the Frost English Village with 50
the intersection of Larpenteur and White Bear Avenues with additional
rental units.
Residential land uses extend out with denser apartment buildings
immediately adjacent the mixed use and commercial buildings, transitioning
to townhomes and rowhouses further away.
The City of Maplewood has taken steps to encourage redevelopment as
its zoning ordinance to support implementation of this plan. However, limited
redevelopment has yet been realized. In 2017 the Hillcrest Golf Course, a
private golf club located less than one mile to the east of the neighborhood
announced that it would be closing. The City of St. Paul is currently evaluating
future uses of that site and it is anticipated that plans for Hillcrest Village may
be revisited.

The cities of Maplewood, Roseville, and St. Paul collaborated in 2017 on
the development of a vision plan for the Rice Street and Larpenteur Avenue
corridor. The purpose of the project was to understand and respond to
land use, access, transit services, and other facilities around key nodes in the
corridor and to identify potential redevelopment sites.

The METRO Rush Line, anticipated to be known as the Purple Line, is a
14-mile bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor that will extend from downtown St.
Paul to White Bear Lake. A locally preferred alternative was selected in 2017
with 85% of the line planned to be a dedicated guideway that will share the
Ramsey County Regional Railway Authority (RCRRA) right-of-way with the
Bruce Vento Trail. The corridor will jog at Beam Avenue to provide connectivity
to HealthEast St. Johns and Maplewood Mall. North of Interstate 694 it will
continue along US Highway 61. While exact station locations have not been
determined, it is anticipated that there will be stations serving Maplewood at
Larpenteur Avenue, Frost Avenue, Highway 36/English, St. John’s Hospital,
and Maplewood Mall. Planning is currently underway with operations
anticipated by the mid-2020s.

In planning for future growth, an estimate for when development or
redevelopment might occur was made in one of three 10-year increments,
through 2020, 2021 to 2030, and 2030 to 2040. This staging plan was used
in the development of the Local Sewer Plan. Analysis conducted determined
that the City will be capable of serving this new growth when it occurs.

¼ Class 6: Des Moines Lobe deposits; >20% of bulk natural aggregate
retained on #4 sieve; deposit 10- 40 feet thick; overburden <10 feet thick;
water table deeper than 20 feet; good to limited subsurface data. Material
moderate to good quality. Thickness set at 20 feet for computing volume
of aggregate resources.
¼ Class 7: Superior Lobe deposits; >20% of bulk natural aggregate retained
on #4 sieve; deposit 10- 40 feet thick; overburden <10 feet thick; water
table deeper than 20 feet; good to limited subsurface data. Material good
to excellent quality. Thickness set at 20 feet for computing volume of
aggregate resources.
It is unlikely that the aggregate resources on the north side of the community
will be extracted because the community is generally developed. At the
resource extraction is also not likely. If any property or business owner seeks
to extract aggregate resources, the City will explore with them the feasibility
of extracting the resources and ensure all required state laws are followed in
order to understand the potential impacts of mineral extraction.

1.1 Support developments that add to the diversity of housing (such
as style, size, character, and price) and tie neighborhoods to nearby
neighborhoods and districts and the broader community
1.2 Residential development projects should take advantage of the
city’s existing landscape features and amenities and promote
the development of green connections (trails, sidewalks, etc.) to
neighboring portions of the community.
1.3 Residential projects should use grid or curvilinear street patterns to
provide connectivity and facilitate the provision of city services.
1.4 Support efforts to build on undeveloped lots within platted and
partially developed neighborhoods that are already served by
utilities.
1.5 Encourage new housing that adds to the diversity of housing
products in the neighborhood while maintaining the existing
character.
1.6 Require sidewalks and trails in neighborhoods to ensure safe routes
to education, civic, and recreational facilities.

anticipated in the City of Maplewood through 2040. These areas of change
represent a change in land use guidance between what was guided in the 2030
Comprehensive Plan and this comprehensive plan. Highlighting and giving
special emphasis to these areas in the plan may make it seem as though this
comprehensive plan presents a drastic shift in land use guidance compared to the
2030 plan, but when all told, they only account for 4% of Maplewood’s land area.
The table below highlights the employment-bearing land use intensity within the
areas of change. Residential density within these areas is highlighted in Table 4-7.

Bsfb!5; The plan calls for the areas in the Gladstone neighborhood already designated as “Mixed Use” in the 2030 plan
to convert to a “Mixed Use-Neighborhood High Density” designation in order to accommodate the levels of residential
density anticipated with the opening of the METRO Rush line through the neighborhood, and surrounding the planned
transit stop at Frost Avenue. This mixed-use designation allows for residential densities in excess of 25 units per acre,
per guidance from 2040 Transportation Policy Plan concerning the type of residential density necessary to support
transit-oriented development in the vicinity of transit line stations. The future land use plan for this area is intended
to build upon the momentum of the Frost English development to create a true neighborhood hub for the Gladstone
neighborhood.

Bsfb!9;!The 2040 plan changes the land use designation for the Maplewood Mall area from “Commercial” to “Mixed
Use-Community” to allow for developers to pursue a variety of redevelopment ideas for the mall and surrounding
commercial properties in the area. The area has the potential to add a range of higher density residential land uses,
and the mixed use designation is also intended to help encourage the potential revitalization of the mall area as a
key community destination and a place to live, play, shop, and work in Maplewood and this portion of the metro area.
The mixed use development around the Maplewood Mall could also include a variety of hotel and hospitality uses
and entertainment uses geared to attract visitation from surrounding communities. Planning for mixed use near the
mall will also help support the overall goal of strengthening White Bear Avenue as a key corridor in this portion of
Maplewood.

The Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) was designated by
Governor’s Executive Order in 1976, following the passage of the Minnesota
Critical Areas Act of 1973.
On January 4, 2017, Minnesota Rules, chapter 6106 replaced Executive Order
79-19, which previously governed land use in the MRCCA. The rules require
local governments to update their MRCCA plans and MRCCA ordinances for
consistency with the rules.

resources and land and water based recreational resources. The MRCCA is
home to a full range of residential neighborhoods and parks, as well as river-
related commerce, industry, and transportation. A brief timeline of the MRCCA
history is below:

Historic properties are properties with features such as an archaeological
site, standing structure, site, district, or other property that are listed in the
National Register of Historic Places, the State Register of Historic Places,
locally designated as a historic site, or are determined to meet the criteria for

As generally indicated by Figure 5-8, Archeology Site 21RA54 is partially
located inside the east MRCCA boundary in Maplewood. This site has been
recommended as potentially eligible to the National Register of Historic
Places as part of the archaeological investigation completed in 2015 for
the Ramsey County and Maplewood Area Historical Societies and the City
of Maplewood. A total of 68 artifacts were recovered, primarily pre-contact.
Other recommendations as part of the investigation include: recreational
development in the area should avoid directly crossing the site and that
interpretive signage should be incorporated.

Soil is mixture of sand, gravel, silts, clay, water, and air. The stability of soil
can be attributed to the mix of these ingredients and other factors that
cause frost action, high saturation depth, steep slopes, low soil strength,
ponding, high shrink-swell rates, subsidence and other soil stability issues.
alluvium. Karst formations are a form of unstable bedrock and are areas were
sinkholes, springs, caverns, and stream sinks may exist.
As seen in Figure 5-9, unstable soils exist, but are limited within the MRCCA
boundary in Maplewood. The majority of soils that exist within the area are
Mahtomedi loamy sand (454). Slopes on Mahtomedi loamy sand soils range
from 0 to 40 percent, but those above 12 percent (454D-F) are unstable. Other
unstable soils include Cathro Muck (544), Mahtomedi-Kinglsey complex
(896D), and Mahtomedi variant - Rock complex (1820F). Most of the unstable

In Minnesota, surface karst features primarily occur where 50 feet or less of
unconsolidated material overlie Paleozoic carbonate bedrock, the St. Peter
Sandstone, or the Mesoproterozoic Hinckley Sandstone. Though no known
karst features exist within the MRCCA boundary in Maplewood, the St. Peter
Sandstone lies within the highlighted area in Figure 5-9, and therefore may be

Public river corridor views (PRCVs) are views toward the river from public
parkland, historic properties, and public overlooks, as well as views toward
bluffs from the ordinary high water level of the opposite shore, as seen during
the summer months. PRCVs are deemed highly valued by the community
and are worth protecting because of the aesthetic value they bring to the
MRCCA. Phase 2 of the community engagement process for the 2040
Comprehensive Plan provided information on the Critical Area Plan online and
at community open houses. This included sharing the public river corridor
view. Conversations throughout the process indicated that many are unaware
a view to the Mississippi River exists in the Fish Creek Preserve.
As part of the Met Council’s 6-month adjacent community plan review
process Maplewood considered comments from South St. Paul about the
views they valued looking across the river to Maplewood.

The existing tree canopy in Maplewood and St. Paul limits the views toward
the Mississippi River from public places within the MRCCA Boundary in
Maplewood. One public view that exists within Maplewood in the MRCCA
boundary is through the trees at Fish Creek Preserve looking towards the
river and downtown St. Paul. The view is valuable to Maplewood because it is
a geographically distinct view of recognizable features. The view, as seen in
Figure 5-10, includes both a view of the Mississippi River corridor and a view

The natural backdrop that these bluffs provide behind the industrial uses
along the river is what makes this a valuable view. The proximity and
accessibility of these OHWL views to the Mississippi River Trail also make
them valuable.
Excessive vegetative clearing, billboard installation, the addition of highway
Newport may negatively affect the views of the bluffs in Maplewood within
the MRCCA boundary. Proper cleanup and maintenance of industrial uses
and highway infrastructure would positively affect these views.

Over three-quarters of the land within the MRCCA boundary in Maplewood
is designated as open space. This open space includes Ramsey County’s
142-acre Fish Creek Open Space and Maplewood’s 70-acre Fish Creek
Preserve. Fish Creek Preserve is designated as a community preserve.
Community preserves are integrated, multi-use areas set aside for preserving
natural resources, connecting people to nature, and providing educational
programming and historic interpretation.
The 2016 Fish Creek Master Plan calls for a paved trail loop, which has
already been completed as shown in Figure 5-14, a hiking trail along Fish
Creek, a rustic trail loop, and outlooks and benches within the MRCCA. These
features are highlighted in Figure 5-15

Transportation and utility facilities (electricity, gas, water, sewer, stormwater)
can have negative impacts on scenic views and habitat and soil erosion.
Proper development of these facilities can minimize their impacts on the
DSJUJ
MRCCA.
As seen in Figure 5-16, public transportation facilities and public utilities are
limited within the MRCCA boundary in Maplewood. A small sliver of Interstate

494 roadway exists in the southeast corner of the MRCCA boundary and one
municipal road serving single family homes lies within the northeast corner of
B
the boundary. The new asphalt loop trail in Fish Creek Preserve exists within
SFB!QMBO
the boundary. Single family homes that exist within northern quarter of the
MRCCA boundary are served by underground public utilities.
No major public transportation or public utility improvements (solar, wind,
or other power generation) are planned within the MRCCA boundary in
power facilities are allowed within the MRCCA in Maplewood.
Jttvft!'!Pqqpsuvojujft
Issues within the MRCCA in Maplewood are limited due to the mostly
natural state of the land within the boundary. Though some issues may
exist, particularly related to the residential uses located within the MRCCA
boundary. These uses may pose an issue if there is future expansion of
structures towards bluff impact zones or unstable soils or if impervious
surfaces are added leading to the potential for more stormwater runoff or
non-point source pollution into MRCCA natural drainageways.
As mentioned earlier, steps have already been taken to restore native plant
communities within the Fish Creek Preserve. Future opportunities may exist
to restore native plant communities on residential properties in the MRCCA.
Opportunities also exist to connect to neighboring planned trails such as

The City of Maplewood has more than 15,000 housing units, of which more
than half are single-family detached structures. The City is seeing some
increase in the variety in the types of housing units being constructed with
more townhomes, rowhouses, and apartments in new developments. Senior
housing has also been a recent focus with projects offering a range of
options, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The
general housing types and where they are located include:
¼ Single-Family Detached - typically found in low density land use
residential categories.
¼ Single-Family Attached - includes twin homes, duplexes, triplexes, and
quadplexes and is typically found in medium density residential, high
density residential, and mixed use areas of the community.
¼ Multi-Family - consists of apartments and condominiums and is found in
high density residential and mixed use areas.

low- and moderate- income households are available in manufactured home
parks and in a variety of types and locations of multi-family dwellings. The
move-up housing market is strong with these choices available throughout
the City, including in the Hillside, Vista Hills, Highwood and Kohlman Lake
neighborhoods.
The cost of housing is a concern that was raised throughout the planning
process and is not isolated to Maplewood. Housing costs affect the ability
of individuals and families of all ages to settle and remain in the community.
like Maplewood, the need for new housing to occur through redevelopment
also raises the cost as land assembly, clearance, and site preparations are
required. These costs often result in the need for redevelopment to include
medium or high density products so costs can be spread across more units.
Looking at the value of owner-occupied units in 2015 based upon American
Community Survey data shows that 57% of Maplewood’s owner occupied

Metropolitan Council forecasts show that Maplewood will add 10,582 people
and 5,418 housing units by the year 2040 for a total population of 48,600.
This results in an average of around 180 new units per year for the next 25
years.

Through its regional planning efforts, the Metropolitan Council has
prioritized housing affordability in the Thrive MSP 2040 Regional Policy.
The Metropolitan Council calculated for each community an allocation of
affordable housing needed to meet the rising need of affordable housing
across the Twin Cities metropolitan region.
Housing is considered “affordable” when no more than 30% of household
income goes to housing. The basis for determining affordability is Area
Median Income (AMI), which is the midpoint of the Twin Cities region’s
income distribution such that half of households earn more and half earn
less. For purposes of Comprehensive Plans, the Metropolitan Council has
established three levels of affordability: 1) At or below 30% of AMI; 2) Between
31 and 50% of AMI; and 3) Between 51 and 80% of AMI.

higher affordability category to a lower one. (e.g. from 50% to 30%). The
Metropolitan Council has selected the four-person household thresholds as a
general measurement for affordable housing needs at each income level.

The Metropolitan Council determined the need for affordable housing in each
community based on a variety of factors, including:
IPVTJOH
¼ Projections of growth of households experiencing housing cost burden
¼ Current supply of existing affordable housing, whether subsidized or
naturally occurring
¼ Disparity of low-wage jobs and housing for low-wage households within a
community
Through these calculations, the Metropolitan Council has determined the
Affordable Housing Need Allocation for Maplewood between 2021 and 2040
is 510 total units. The breakdown by affordability level is provided in Table 6-8.
The way that communities accomplish this affordable housing allocation
is by designating adequate vacant land or redevelopable land at minimum
densities (units/acre) that are high enough for affordable housing to be
an option. Essentially, the more units/acre allowed on a site, the less cost
per unit to be built, which makes the development an option for affordable
housing developers as well as market-rate developers. The affordable
housing allocation does not mean that the City must force the building of this
many affordable units by 2030. Rather, through future land use guidance, the
City needs to ensure that the opportunity for affordable housing exists by
having adequate vacant or redeveloped land guided for higher densities to
meet the stated share.

In order to determine if Maplewood can achieve the calculated number of
units, the Future Land Use Plan was analyzed to determine which Maplewood
residential future land use designations count towards Affordable Housing
Allocation Need. According to the Metropolitan Council, any residential future
land use designation that has a minimum density of 8 units per acre or more
can count towards affordable housing allocation calculations. The following
table features all future land use designations for Maplewood and their
minimum units per acre.

Source: HKGi, City of Maplewood
Any vacant or redevelopable land designated as High Density Residential,
Mixed Use – Neighborhood, Mixed Use – Neighborhood High Density, or
Mixed Use - Community may count towards affordable housing allocation
calculations. As seen in the table above, the net developable or redevelopable
acres of each applicable land use have been multiplied by the minimum units
per acre to determine the minimum number of units that could be developed
on this available land. The mixed use land use categories only require a
proportion of their developable land to be residential, so those percentages
apply to the unit count for this calculation. Note: we utilize net developable
acreage which removes areas where units cannot be built, such as right-of-
way, open water, and wetlands.
Residential, Mixed Use – Neighborhood, Mixed Use – Neighborhood High
Density, or Mixed Use - Community, Maplewood is more than able to meet
its allocation of affordable housing need as the percentage of residential
will likely be higher than the minimum required for the three mixed use
categories.

As the City of Maplewood steadily developed during the Post World War II
period, the base of employment in the community steadily increased. Total
employment in Maplewood increased from just over 11,000 positions in
1970 to over 29,000 positions in 2000. Employment decreased slightly to
around 27,700 by 2010, as a result of the Great Recession. Although the
community is nearly fully built out, the Metropolitan Council forecasts that
total employment in Maplewood will increase by nearly 8,700 positions
between 2016 and 2040, reaching 36,600 positions by 2040. The Metropolitan
Council’s projections for employment are based upon assumptions, made
share of regional growth over the next few decades, compared to historical
patterns of growth.

regardless of how climate change develops.
.
The Sustainability Chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan focuses primarily
on energy and local food access goals and policies. Previous sustainability
efforts in Maplewood have shown progress and accomplishments in
the areas of land conservation, solid waste management, environmental
standards. Demonstrating achievement towards sustainability and quality-
of-life goals, Maplewood was awarded Step 5 GreenStep Cities in 2016-2017,
the highest level awarded.
Looking to the future, creating a sustainable energy infrastructure and
reduced energy use will enhance reliability of the electricity grid while
mitigating climate change impacts. Fostering healthy communities through
better access to local, healthy foods will strengthen Maplewood’s vulnerable
populations and reduce the impact of climate related events.
.
The following chapters within the 2040 Comprehensive Plan also contribute
directly to sustainable elements in Maplewood:
.
¼ Chapter 4: Land Use
.
¼ Chapter 5: Critical Area Plan
¼ Chapter 8: Natural Resources
¼ Chapter 11: Parks, Trails, and Open Space
¼ Chapter 12: Transportation
¼ Chapter 13: Surface Water

projected changes to Maplewood climate represent stressors for both the
environment and people. Urban tree canopies as well as urban populations
have unique vulnerabilities associated with the projected climate changes for
the City of Maplewood.
The climate change risks for the City of Maplewood include physical/

Local energy resources are abundant and readily available for economic
capture. Energy resources available in Maplewood include solar, wind,
used at the community scale. Property owners will request local building and
zoning permits for solar and wind installations. Biomass is collected, stored,
and generated and used in the community. Building improvements use
local contractors, need local permits, and affect local property values when
Maplewood must set goals and policies that treat sustainable local energy
resources as an economically valuable local resource.

Solar reserves are those quantities of solar energy that can be estimated
with reasonable certainty to be economically producible. Maplewood’s gross
solar reserves equal 23,403,633 megawatt hours per year. Based on the City’s
solar potential study completed September 2017, there are a total of 7,700
rooftops in the City of Maplewood which are viable for solar photovoltaic
(PV) installations. The potential annual rooftop solar PV energy generation is
178,400,000 KWH. This is equal to approximately 59 percent of the City’s total
annual electric use.

Within the city limits of Maplewood, there are ten food outlets, with
another half-dozen stores very close to the city limits. Most of the stores
within Maplewood are larger retailers, such as Cub Foods or ALDI. The
St. Paul Farmers Market hosts a farmers market once a week during the
spring, summer and fall at the Aldrich Arena (1850 White Bear Avenue) in
Maplewood. Locally-grown fresh produce is provided at the market.

Payne-Phalen neighborhood of St. Paul, along Payne Avenue, Case Avenue,
and White Bear Avenue, to the south of Maplewood.
The City of Maplewood manages a community garden within Edgerton
Park, with two other large community gardens and several smaller gardens
managed by the school district and private organizations.
The Merrick Food Shelf has two locations that serve residents of Maplewood
(1669 Arcade Street in St. Paul and 1740 Van Dyke Street in Maplewood).
Additionally, the Christian Cupboard Emergency Shelter in Woodbury serves
residents of Maplewood who live south of Stillwater Road and east of
McKnight Road.
The following residential areas of Maplewood are not currently located within
a half-mile walking distance of any grocery stores or food-related outlets:

Maplewood is in the early stages of developing a strong historic preservation
program.
Key challenges include:
¼ The City has very little documentation or knowledge of historic sites and
structures within our boundaries.
¼
their site and special practices that should be considered when making
alterations or repairs.
¼ Redevelopment plans often do not include evaluation of historic
structures.
¼ Preservation requires funding and professionals with specialized
knowledge and training.
¼ Maplewood does not have a lot of structures that the general public
would see as historic.
Opportunities include:
¼
federal grants.
¼ Maplewood is eligible for state grants through the Arts and Culture
Heritage Fund.
¼
the City and has strong leadership for its programming, which includes:
maintaining the Bruentrup Heritage Farm, researching and archiving
Maplewood history, and hosting educational programs.
¼ Structures built in the mid-20th century (Mid-century modern) are now
historic. Much of Maplewood developed in that era and we have an

Maplewood has a thriving parks and recreation system, and residents
currently have good access to parks and paved trails. When measured
against neighboring communities of similar size, Maplewood has more
city and regional parks, trails, and open space, and for a city of its size,
Maplewood also compares well against national standards due to its amount
and variety of facilities and parkland.
Maplewood has an uncommon resource in its system of Preserves and
Greenways. These features give residents additional access and exposure
to natural resources, passive recreation opportunities, and sustainable
landscape practices.
Overall, residents are happy with the physical condition of the system, though

habitat in Maplewood, encompassing both public and private lands. They
scale ecosystems and to provide habitat for species that need large natural
areas. Parks and Recreation property within the system will be managed to
contribute to the health of the greenway. Additional information about the

Phalen-Keller Regional Park is a 750 acre park that is managed jointly by the
City of Saint Paul Parks Department and Ramsey County Parks -- Saint Paul
manages the Phalen Park portion and Ramsey County the Keller Park portion.
The park attracts over one million visitors annually. The park straddles the
border of Maplewood and Saint Paul and acts as a neighborhood park for the
residents who live near it. In 2011, both agencies worked together to create a
master plan for the combined park. Activities at the park include: picnicking,

The Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources (BWSR) provides
guidance resources for Metro Area Surface Water Management Plans. These
Statutes and Rules require the preparation of watershed plans by watershed
management organizations (WMOs) and watershed districts (WDs) and
the preparation of local water management plans that are consistent with
the respective WMO/WD plans. The most current SWMPs applicable to
Maplewood are the:
¼ Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (RWMWD) 2017-2026
Watershed Management Plan, adopted in April 2017
¼ Capital Region Watershed District (CRWD) 2010 Watershed Management
Plan, adopted in September 2010 and amended in 2015
¼ Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD) 2015-2025 Watershed
Management Plan, adopted September 2015
The purpose of the SWMP is that through policies and thoughtful program
implementation, goals for proper water and wetland resource management
can be realized and water quality can be protected. Through proper planning
and implementation, informed decisions can be made which allow for the
protection and/or enhancement of water quality, prevention of ground water

Using the nine goals summarized in Ubcmf!24.2, the Plan will serve as a guide
for surface water and water resource management activities over at least the
next ten years.
T
Though long term in focus, the Plan has numerous future decision points
VSGBDF
related to recommended capital improvements and ongoing inspection,
maintenance and monitoring activities. The Plan was developed recognizing
the need for proper land utilization and growth and, at the same time,
emphasizing the need to prioritize management actions and decisions based

on the assigned category of a receiving water body (i.e., lake, stream,
wetland, pond).

Maplewood has eight waters on the most recent impaired waters List
prepared by the MPCA and approved by the US Environmental Protection
Agency. Ubcmf!24.3 provides a summary of the affected use and pollutant or
stressor for each of these waters. While impaired waters remain, Carver Lake,
Beaver Lake and Keller Lake were previously impaired for aquatic recreation
(nutrient/eutrophication indicators) but have seen improvement and were
removed from the impaired list in 2014.
Of the listed pollutants in Ubcmf!24.3 the City is really only positioned to
address the nutrient (i.e., phosphorus) impairments through implementation of
stormwater management practices and implementation of its design standards,
and chloride impairments through improvement deicing program management.
According to the MPCA’s Statewide Mercury TMDL Study, most of the mercury
percent originating from outside the state. Because mercury has regional TMDL
implications, little effort will be placed on TMDL recommendations related to
mercury for these waters as part of this planning effort.
The City will continue to review recommendations for mercury that may
be offered by EPA and/or MPCA to see if the regional approach to mercury
has any future implications on the City. More detail on the progress of the
statewide mercury TMDL process can be found on the MPCA’s website.
The City will consider the impaired waters in future management decisions and
actively manage the activities in the contributing watersheds to limit the delivery
of these pollutants (primarily nutrients, sediment and chlorides) to these waters.
The City’s Living Streets Policy and updated engineering design standards will
help to reduce the levels of phosphorus entering receiving waters.

An estimated 90 percent of Maplewood’s water supply is serviced by St.
Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS). Although the vast majority of the
SPRWS water supply comes from surface water, the SPRWS uses/will use
groundwater as an alternate water supply when there are taste and/or odor
problems, during drought conditions, or in other special situations (e.g.,
security reasons). Approximately 10% of the SPRWS water supply consists of
groundwater (annually). Maplewood Also has agreements with neighboring
cities to provide water service to residents from other municipalities including
Roseville, Little Canada, Vadnais Heights and North St. Paul. Maplewood
coordinates these services annually with neighboring cities.
Related to protection of groundwater resources, Maplewood and the
local watershed management organizations have placed prohibitions on
Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMAs) and vulnerable Wellhead
Protection Areas. The City’s 2018-2028 Surface Water Management Plan
includes information on these protective standards as well as mapping of
DWSMAs and Wellhead Protection Areas throughout the City.
The City is also familiar with the North and East Metro Groundwater
Management Area Plan completed by the Minnesota DNR in November 2015.

life and property and reduce the burden of maintaining the system. As
weather trends are showing higher intensity storm events, the potential for
awareness on the need to maintain the storm water conveyance system
so that it functions well during the design storm events as well as the more
extreme events that can exceed the design capacity of the system. The City
requires all stormwater infrastructure, development and redevelopment
projects to use updated Atlas 14 rainfall frequency data in their analysis and
design process to account for the latest weather trends. While some debris
blockages of pipes and structures will almost certainly continue to occur, the
efforts placed on identifying problem areas, conducting maintenance and/
or installing physical improvements, will reduce the potential for problems or
reduce the extent of damages resulting from extreme events.
In July of 2011, the City experienced one of those extreme events that caused
following the storm event and has continued to address the remaining sites
2011 event that remain to be addressed. These are will be studied on a more
regional basis and improvements are anticipated to be incorporated into the
City’s annual street reconstruction projects for these areas. Construction of
any recommended improvements will be completed as part of 2019 and 2020
street reconstruction projects. The City understands that as future extreme
storm events hit portions of the City, new areas of concern may arise. In
addition, evaluating the existing drainage and conveyance system as part of
the annual street maintenance program will be a critical element of the City’s
system network is illustrated in Gjhvsf!24.2.

The Natural Resources Chapter of this Plan covers all aspects of natural
resources management, including the lakes, ponds, wetlands and stream
that are directly addressed in this Surface Water Chapter. The City’s surface
water management program is directly connected to its management of
Natural Resources through programs and improvements such as the City’s
existing Living Streets Policy, restored prairie landscapes at three preserves
and ongoing efforts related to education. These all have direct impacts
on the quality of surface waters within the City. As it has for decades, the
City’s approach to coordinating surface water management needs with
natural resources management will continue to help maximize the overall

The City currently has a storm water utility in place named the Environmental
Utility Fund (EUF). The EUF was established in 2003 and funds storm water
management related costs including educational efforts through the Nature
Center programs, construction of treatment systems throughout the City and
maintenance of the overall storm water treatment and conveyance systems
including storm sewer maintenance and street sweeping. The City will rely
primarily on the EUF, along with leveraging the grant opportunities available to
implement the goals and activities of this Plan.
with the local watershed organizations, Ramsey County, and other project-
quality improvements and enhance other natural resources to help reduce
the cost of doing the stormwater improvements as standalone projects..
These efforts will be needed and are a priority for the City on public capital
improvement projects, storm water system and utility maintenance activities,
public outreach and education activities and on private development and
redevelopment projects. This cooperative approach will allow the City to
leverage the limited funding that is currently available.
Bdujpot!0!Jnqmfnfoubujpo!Qmbo
The overall implementation program includes a mixture of capital
improvement projects, studies, ongoing maintenance, inspection, monitoring
and other recommended management activities over the next 10 years.
Estimated costs are not provided, recognizing that they can set unrealistic
expectations of the actual costs of projects and/or activities. The costs for
each action will be developed through more detailed assessments as projects
will be included in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan on an
annual basis.
The City’s water bodies and wetlands are truly exceptional resources for
City residents and thus water quality is one of the priority areas for future
program efforts. City lakes and water resources offer a range of recreational
opportunities and some are truly exceptional resources from a water
quality perspective. Others are impaired for various pollutants and have a
reduced value due to those impairments. Flooding issues are another key
area for the City to focus efforts on in the coming years. There are several
20 areas throughout the City. While many of these areas have since been
addressed, a few remain and are anticipated to be studied and addressed in
2018-2020.
The Implementation Plan is a suggested course of action that will accomplish
development and redevelopment in the community while protecting and
improving Maplewood’s surface water resources. Infrastructure replacements
and/or additions will be reviewed, approved and administered in accordance
with Maplewood’s Capital Improvement Plan.

There are approximately 100 subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS)
in the City of Maplewood as of 2018. The City previously had 135 SSTS in
2003, 112 in 2010 and 102 in 2016. The vast-majority of these systems are
located south of Linwood Avenue as shown in Gjhvsf!25.3. The City’s goal
is to phase out the use of SSTS within Maplewood as practical and feasible.
Additional information on the SSTS in the southern portion of Maplewood
south is provided in the South Maplewood Sewer Study, prepared by SEH,
Inc. dated May 19, 2003. Gjhvsf!25.3
have a potential connection to the sanitary sewer system available.
Each year, the City prepares an Annual SSTS Report summarizing the status
of the SSTS sites. This report states which sites have sewer available and
which sites are required to connect to the City sewer. SSTS owners are
required to have their system inspected every 3 years and complete any
required maintenance. The owner must submit the required MPCA Septic
Tank Maintenance Reporting Form to the City. On January 28, 2002, the City
of Maplewood approved City Ordinance Section 9-950 regulating the location,
design, installation, use and maintenance of SSTS within Maplewood.
The ordinance became effective on June 1, 2002. The City’s current SSTS
Ordinance is found in Chapter 40, Article II, Division 5.
There are no public or privately owned Community Wastewater Treatment

outside the ROW. A summary of the recently completed and planned sewer
lining projects is provided below. The method used to line pipes is a cured in

Plan (CIP) to meet future needs of growth areas, address public health
issues or to eliminate the need for existing lift stations. A summary of these
improvements and a proposed schedule for their completion is provided
in Ubcmf!25.7 below and the location of these potential improvements is
illustrated in Gjhvsf!25.4. The schedule for a number of these improvements
will be directly related to development activity in the area. Prior to capital
improvements in the districts listed in Ubcmf!25.7, and in preparation for
development and redevelopment in areas of change discussed in the Land
Use chapter of this plan, the City will complete more detailed analyses of the
sanitary sewer system in those areas. The City will initiate improvements in
public health.

Guiding principles describe community values that are intended to be achieved through the implementation of the
Comprehensive Plan. Rather than being focused in a particular topical area, like housing or parks, guiding principles
are interrelated across many areas and will likely be implemented through collaboration and actions of multiple
departments and community partners. In the development of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, four themes emerged as
guiding principles: resilience, equity, health, and age-friendliness.
The health of Maplewood is directly
related to the physical and mental health
of its residents and employees. While

The Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) is a land corridor along the Mississippi River in the Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area governed by special land planning requirements and land development regulations. Throughout the
Twin Cities, the MRCCA comprises 72 miles of river across 30 jurisdictions. In Maplewood, the MRCCA includes just
115 acres, or one percent of the City’s 11,574 acres and mostly lies within Fish Creek Preserve and Open Space. These
regulations protect and preserve the natural, scenic, recreational, and transportation resources of this section of the
Mississippi River. Originally designated in 1976, local communities within the corridor are required to complete a MRCCA
plan as a chapter of their Comprehensive Plan.

1st bullet not so much protect as to restore and maintain. Suggested language:
"With so many challenges and limited resources it's critical to prioritize staff resources and available funding to priority sites and natural
resources."
Author: mgernes Subject: Sticky Note Date: 2/1/2018 12:28:32 PM
"The City needs to continually seek funding and support for natural resource enhancement and management via public and private
grants, city budgets and partnered ventures."
Author: mgernes Subject: Sticky Note Date: 2/4/2018 5:48:48 PM
The asset management software could also be used to inventory and track large and small quality natural resource patches or parcels.

Since Maplewood was dominated by savannas, why not site a savanna specialist species such as loggerhead shrikes rather than ovenbird
which are more typical in forested communities.

Highlight, especially with Fish Creek there may be stream restoration or habitat improvement opportunities. Partnerships with Washington
and Ramsey County Conservation Districts as well as Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District as well as MN DNR.

Yes, good point, thank you! Add this is a prime opportunity to apply ecological overlays to identify these resources.
Here or elsewhere, mention it is easier, more cost effective and more successful to manage remnant-intact communities compared to
wholesale restoration actions.

Some park natural areas such as the South end of Wakefield Park and Joy Park have high ecological quality and should be actively
managed.
Author: mgernes Subject: Sticky Note Date: 2/1/2018 12:55:17 PM
Some of these properties, be they City or County owned or privately owned have high ecological quality and need to be inventoried and
identified on an 'ecological overlay' as part of the City GIS mapping and asset inventory. Active management is needed to sustain these
high quality resources.
Author: mgernes Subject: Sticky Note Date: 2/1/2018 12:56:55 PM
Higher ecological quality tracts need to be managed to sustain their integrity.
Author: mgernes Subject: Sticky Note Date: 2/4/2018 7:12:58 PM
This greenway should be revised to include Hillside park and tails to the east and south via Maplewood Middle school and the wetland

Canada thistle is on the control list. Oriental bittersweet is on the eradicate list which is the most stringent category.
Author: mgernes Subject: Sticky Note Date: 2/4/2018 7:34:56 PM
Maplewood is one of the few cities that has sponsored public-private cooperative neighborhood removal efforts of buckthorn.
Maplewood has also contracted to remove buckwood this species from several city properties. Though commendable the effort needs to
include more aggressive and ongoing efforts at these locations to reach a point were buckthorn regeneration is controlled. Admittedly
eradication will not able to accomplished, but we can focus efforts and be more strategic to achieve manageable populations.
Author: mgernes Subject: Sticky Note Date: 2/4/2018 7:38:32 PM
EAB controls will require effective use of city staff, contractors and citizens. It must include continuing education and appropriate selection
of other native tree species to replace lost ash trees.

The city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan calls out the North End region of Maplewood as an area of
opportunity to do additional visioning and planning in order to help this important part of the city stay
healthy. The 2040 plan states the city should:
Complete a subarea plan or district plan for the Maplewood Mall area, to help define the following:
a. Expectations regarding anticipated mixes of land uses on a block by block basis.
b. Expectations regarding urban design principles guiding redevelopment in the area.
c. Opportunities for connections and synergy with the HealthEast St. Johns campus
and surrounding supportive health care facilities.
Packet Page Number 141 of 277
J5
d. Improvements to support pedestrian, bicycling, and transit connectivity, particularly
the METRO Rush Line stations.
e. Further definition of implementation tools and steps to be completed, to support
redevelopment and revitalization.
As referenced above, a regional transit line is being planned that would traverse through this
neighborhood in Maplewood. The proposed Rush Line will have five stations in Maplewood –
including stations near the Maplewood Mall and St. John’s Hospital in this neighborhood. City staff
is working to ensure these two processes are developed in coordination and inform each other.
Background
Anchored by Maplewood Mall and St. John’s Hospital, the North End is a major generator of
economic activity for the City of Maplewood and the surrounding region. However, profound
changes are impacting the North End – the retail industry is rapidly evolving, the healthcare industry
continues to grow by leaps and bounds, and the future Rush Line BRT will significantly enhance
transit service to the area.
In order for the North End to continue as a thriving district of economic activity well into the future, it
is important that on-going change be guided by a clear and actionable community-driven plan that
focuses on:
1) Opportunities for new development or redevelopment;
2) New or improved connections;
3) New or improved public spaces;
4) Priorities for new investment overall.
The input from community engagement activities and the North End Working Group meetings drove
the development of the project Vision Statement and specific project goals, as follows:
NORTH END VISION STATEMENT:
The North End is a local and regional economic activity center characterized by a diverse mix of
sustainable land uses where people of all backgrounds can safely and easily come from near and
far to gather for purposes of obtaining goods and services, wellness, work, recreation, socialization,
learning, and living.
The attached Vision Plan document include goals, near- and long-term vision plans for the North
End and Design Guidelines. The first step of implementing this vision plan is to update the zoning
code affecting the North End. Zoning code updates will be discussed with the council under a
separate item and request.
Commission Review
August 20, 2019: The Planning Commission review and unanimously recommended approval of the
North End Vision Plan.

The North End Vision Plan is a shared community vision that addresses short- and long-term opportunities for change in MaplewoodVision Plan is not prescriptive and, therefore, should
not be used to determine the exact placement or design of new buildings and infrastructure. Instead, as a vision plan, it is intended to be a guide for how the public and private sectors
can make future investments in the North End that are sustainable and resilient while at the same time meet the needs of the community. PURPOSE Anchored by Maplewood Mall and St. Johnthe
North End is a major generator of economic activity for the City of Maplewood and the surrounding region. However, profound changes are impacting the North End – industry continues
to grow by leaps and bounds, and the future Rush Line BRT will significantly enhance transit service to the area. In order for the North End to continue as a thriving district of economic
activity well into the future, it is important that on-going change be guided by a clear and actionable community-driven plan that focuses on: 1) opportunities for new development or
redevelopment; 2) new or improved connections; 3) new or improved public spaces; and 4) priorities for new investment overall.STUDY AREA DEFINITION The North End neighborhood is a mixed
use district in the north central part of Maplewood that includes retail, office, institutional, and residential uses. It is roughly bounded by Interstate 694 on the north, White Bear
Avenue on the east, Beam Avenue on the south, and the Bruce Vento Regional Trail on the west.

Maplewood North End Vision Plan
Office uses will not drive development in the study area. However, medical office space is an important niche in the North End and should be evaluated for how the clustering of activities
and specialties could be leveraged into new opportunities for growth and/or development.
one in August 2018 and the following in May 2019.
•COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION Extensive community engagement was conducted throughout the planning process. From Fall 2018 to Summer 2019, a North End Working Group comprised of 26 individuals
who live, work, or own property in the North End met six times to guide the creation of the Vision Plan. Additionally, there were two Open Houses – Throughout the course of the project,
considerable business outreach was conducted as well with over 150 drop-in visits to area businesses, meetings with major property owners, and presentations to various stakeholder groups,
such as the Maplewood Business Council. There were also opportunities for online engagement. The City posted regular updates to the projectand their social media outlets. An online
survey captured the responses of over 100 residents, business owners, visitors, and employees in the area. The project also had a Social PinPoint site, an online engagement platform
where people could comment on specific spots for improvement throughout the study area. A final draft of the Vision Plan was also posted to the Social PinPoint site, allowing individuals
to give their recommendations for the final Vision Plan.

Based primarily on population, household, and employment forecasts, the North End could potentially support up to 2,200 new units of housing, over 120,000 square feet of new office space,
and significant rehabilitation and reconfiguration of its existing retail structures over the next several decades. The population of the North Endsimultaneously skewing older and younger.
In the near-term, this will increase the demand for both senior housing and entry-level housing for families with school-age children.Housing will drive demand for new development in
the North End in both the near-term and long-term. The primary barriers to housing development in the study area will be availability of sites and the marketprojects financially feasible.
The retail industry is rapidly changing and there is very little consensus as to which brick-and-mortar concepts will survive over time. The future of Maplewood Mall will be extremely
important to the remainder of the North End and its ability to attract investment and support redevelopment.
MARKET FINDINGS Prior to the start of the North End planning process, a market study was prepared that informed the planning process and provided stakeholders with data and analysis
of the short- and long-term market trends that will affect development opportunities in the North End. Key findings and conclusions from the study are presented below. The appendix
includes the full study with detailed market and demographic data that was gathered and presented during the planning process.••••••

TIMELINE The planning process was initiated in August 2018 and continued through July 2019. The North End Working Group met six times during this period to deliberate on the development
of the Vision Plan. The Working Groupprocess began with analysis of existing conditions, followed by the development of a vision statement and goals, creation and refinement of alternative
visions, and ultimately the documentation of a preferred vision supported by design guidelines and implementation strategies. Public engagement efforts informed and supported design
and planning efforts throughout the duration of the project. Open House #2

VISION PLAN (NEAR- & LONG-TERM)The Vision Statement, goals, and design guidelines establish a framework for the North End Vision Plan. The Near-Term and Long-Term Vision Plan is not
meant to show specific development recommendations or proposals, as much of the areacontingent on market trends and private development. Rather, these parameters create a vision for
the future to inspire new development and revitalization efforts. The Near-Term Vision Plan identifies areas for immediate improvement and those that have high likelihood of redevelopment
potential within the next several years. This primarily consists of vacant or underutilized properties. The proposed development shows residential, mixed use, retail, office, and a
hotel, with mindful planning of surface lots and improved urban tree canopy. The plan includes plans for the Rush Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), development on the former-Sears site,
and an extension of St. JohnBirch Run Station Shopping Center, a recommendation the PMT repeatedly heard throughout the project. Where possible, smaller street grids are proposed with
enhanced street crossings to improve pedestrian conditions and trails, in addition to new and enhanced green spaces. The Long-Term Vision Plan shows the fully-realized vision of what
the area could become in future decades. Along with the new built development and green spaces, the Long-Term Vision includes amenities around the proposed BRT stations located by the
Metro Transit Center and St. Johnresidential, mixed use, retail, and office. Additional surface lots are placed mindfully and with improved tree canopy. Parking ramps by Metro Transit
Center and the Maplewood Mall supplement the reduced amount of surface parking, while still leaving ample parking opportunities. The Long-Term Vision Plan maintains the Near-Term development
on the Sears site and the

VISION STATEMENT & GOALS
The input from community engagement activities and the North End Working Group meetings drove the development of the project Vision Statement and specific project goals, as follows:NORTH

Maplewood North End Vision Plan
Near-Term Recommendations Near-term design recommendations should occur within the next 1 to 10 years. These actions focus on opportunities that will provide long-term momentum for the
rest of the Vision Plan, such as extending St. Johnspace improvements, and targeted redevelopment around Birch Run Station and the former Sears. Long-Term Recommendations Long-term
and ongoing actions will need to occur over a longer period of time, 10+ years, as development proposals are submitted, outside grant funding opportunities arise, and growth generates
demand for more development. This includes a pedestrian/bike bridge over White Bear Avenue, public plaza space around the Maplewood Mall, and continuing development and redevelopment
projects.Funding and Financing Sources and Mechanisms A spectrum of potential funding sources and mechanisms exist for implementing the improvements identified in the Maplewood North
End Vision Plan. This section describes these sources, mechanisms, and their potential uses in Maplewood. In many cases, multiple funding sources will need to be combined to pay for
specific projects. Implementation of the North End Vision plan will also require more detailed studies and an ongoing management process involving the City, developers/property owners,
local utility providers, and other members of the North End community.

Immediate Actions The rate at which the Vision Planimplemented depends on numerous factors. Therefore, it will likely take many years (potentially decades) before the North End begins
to achieve a truly transformative character and feel as outlined in the Vision Plan. Although the path to change is long, there are actions that can be undertaken immediately because
they have few barriers associated with them and thus could be characterized as interim or

One the final farms to remain operational was the Bruentrup family farm. In the 1890s, the Bruentrup family built a farm near where Maplewoodsits today, and over the years, the family
obtained 175 acres of property in the area. Eventually as the area continued developing, they sold parts of their property, which includes much of the land on which the Maplewood Mall
is built. In the 1990s, the City purchased the remaining portions of the farm and its buildings, such as the barn and granary, and moved them to city-owned lands east of White Bear
Ave. The Maplewood Mall was opened in 1974 and renovated in 1996 and 2011. RELATED PLANNING EFFORTS All previously prepared reports, studies, and other documents having a bearing on
the North End area have been assembled and reviewed to gain an understanding of key findings, objectives, and policies that inform this planning effort. The key findings have been incorporated
into the overall project analysis. Below is a summary of the most relevant planning efforts.MAPLEWOOD 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Maplewood 2040 Comprehensive Plan is a holistic approach
to how the City of Maplewood can and should grow and evolve. It takes into consideration the Citywithin the Twin Cities metropolitan region and how long range planning may impact individual

02 BACKGROUND SITE HISTORY Prior to Western Settlement, this area was home to the Dakota Sioux, and the landscape was mostly prairie and scrub oak scattered with lakes and wetlands.
Around 160 years ago, European and French-Canadians began setting up farmsteads, transitioning the area into farmlands. Over the next century and a half, the landscape continued changing.
By the early 20th century, truck farming and dairy farming was the areadue to the close proximity of the St. Paul Farmers Market and local creameries. After World War II, however,
property values began to climb and farmers sold their plots to developers for residential, road, and retail developments.

important destinations, and the potential to support economic development.The benefits of BRT have been proven to have an important effect on stimulating new development and change in
the communities it serves. In particular, the effect can be quite profound within a ¼-mile or even ½-mile of a station stop. As Ramsey County and Metro Transit work with each community
along the Rush Line, extra emphasis has been placed on the North End because of its existing role as an employment and retail hub. Therefore, the effort behind the North End Vision
Plan and the Rush Line BRT overlap significantly. As a result, additional effort was made throughout the North End Planning process to coordinate with officials from Ramsey County and
Metro Transit to make sure the two processes are interrelated and benefit one another. Rush Line BRT / Source: Ramsey County

ZONING The North End consists of seven zoning districts: Business Commercial, Planned Unit Development, Business Commercial Modified, Multiple Dwelling, Limited Business Commercial,
Light Manufacturing, and Open Space/Park. The vast majority of land in the North End is covered by the Business Commercial and Planned Unit Development districts, which allow for a
wide variety of land uses and intensity levels. For example, the Business Commercial district allows for many different general commercial uses by right, but can also allow multiple
dwellings with a conditional use permit.

FUTURE LAND USE The Maplewood 2040 Comprehensive Plan identified future land uses throughout the City but also within the North End. Important differences between the existing land uses
and the guided future land uses for the North End center are that there is more flexibility for how the major shopping centers will evolve over time. For example, the Maplewood Mall
and Birch Run Station are envisioned to be areas with a mixture of uses in the future that will accommodate both neighborhood-oriented uses as well as destination uses. Meanwhile, the
primary medical facilities of the North End are guided as employment uses, which will help ensure that these uses not only remain but will not be burdened by future incompatible uses.

BUILT FORM Because almost all of the commercial development in the North End is less than 50 years old, the area is dominated by an automobile-oriented development pattern defined by
large blocks, wide streets, and buildings setback from the street with substantial surface parking. The Legacy Village residential area in the northwest portion of the North End is
the one exception. This area has a stronger pedestrian orientation with narrower streets, smaller blocks, and numerous sidewalks.

YEAR STRUCTURE BUILT Initial development of the North End began in the early 1970s with the construction of Maplewood Mall. During the 1980s and 1990s, the mall expanded, a number of
ancillary shopping centers and freestanding commercial buildings were built surrounding the mall, and St. JohnHospital and associated medical office buildings were constructed as well.
In the 2000s, the last remaining large tracts of vacant land in the North End were developed with a range of housing types and styles.Although there continues to be small scale redevelopment
and rehabilitation throughout the North End, the majority of commercial buildings are now more than 30 years old. This is the age when many buildings begin to require significant maintenance
in order to remain functional and/or marketable. Therefore, some properties that have experienced deferred maintenance may be candidates for redevelopment or substantial rehabilitation.

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP There are several public entities that own land within the North End, which include the City of Maplewood, Ramsey County, and the Metropolitan Council. However, all
of these properties are currently used for public purposes (park, library, transit center) and none of them are likely to be candidates for new development or redevelopment. This means
that future new development or redevelopment within the North End will be driven almost entirely by private property owners. There are several large property owners in the North End,
which due to the size of these parcels, this could represent an opportunity for new development. However, the largest building in the North End, Maplewood Mall, has five different property
owners, which will make redevelopment or rehabilitation of the mall challenging or, at minimum, very complex and complicated at best.

North End Property Values
COSTCO
FIGURE 02-9
09/09/19
PROPERTY VALUE Commercial property values in the North End can vary greatly. This is due to the range of parcel sizes, building types, and building age. Larger properties, bigger buildings,
or newer structures often translate to higher property values. With many large properties with significant structures, this suggests that new investment in the form of redevelopment
or major rehabilitations will likely need to come from larger businesses with the means to acquire such properties. Although the northwester portion of the North End has a concentration
of properties valued under $500,000, which may increase the pool of potential investors, the development in this area is mostly residential, relatively new, and on smaller parcels.
Therefore, it would be a challenge to redevelop because the cost to acquire so many small properties that when added up would be equal to or more expensive than many of the larger commercial
properties in the North End.

Walkability and Green Space Access
COSTCO

Maplewood North End Vision Plan

WALKABILITY AND GREEN SPACE ACCESS The northwestern portion of the North End is well served with sidewalks and trails that allow for convenient and safe travel by pedestrians and bicyclists.
However, in the remainder of the North End, pedestrian and bicycle movement is much more challenging as the availability of sidewalks and trails are limited and/or poorly connected,
and major roadways are wide with high speeds. The situation is exacerbated by numerous large parcels in which internal circulation is mostly designed for motor vehicles.There is a public
park located immediately west of the Ramsey County Library, which is well used with attractive walking paths. However, it lacks facilities desired by young children and young adults,
such as playgrounds and play courts. There are example of small private play areas associated with the multifamily developments, but these are generally restricted to residents of the
development. There are several sizable parks and public open spaces located just outside of the North End south of Beam Avenue or east of White Bear Avenue. However, these facilities
are difficult to access from the North End due to the challenges of crossing either Beam or White Bear Avenues.

TRANSIT The North End is currently served by five different Metro Transit bus routes. There are two routes that provide express service to downtown St. Paul (#270) and downtown Minneapolis
(#265). The St. Paul express service operates Monday thru Friday with inbound busses in the morning and four outbound busses in the evening. The Minneapolis service consists of 18 inbound
busses in the morning and 18 outbound busses in the evening. There are also three local bus routes that connect the study area to Rosedale (#223), the greater east side of St. Paul
(#80), and to the suburbs east of St. Paul (#219). Metro Transit operates a transit center with park-and-ride facilities in a structure at the northeast corner of Beam Avenue and Southlawn

North End Traffic Counts
COSTCO
FIGURE 02-12
Maplewood North End Vision Plan
26
TRAFFIC VOLUMES Traffic counts along roadways that serve the North End area are strong and reinforce the retail character of much of the North End. Although these roadways are critical
in connecting the North End to the region and supporting uses, such as retail and healthcare, many of them are also barriers to local mobility because of their size and higher speeds,
especially for persons traveling by foot or bicycle. According to the most recent data from MnDOT (2016), White Bear Avenue carries approximately 21,000 vehicles per day, while Beam
Avenue carries approximately 15,000 vehicles per day. Other roadways serving the North End carry anywhere from 10,000 vehicles per day (County Road D near Maplewood Mall) to 2,500 vehicles
per day (Kennard Street). Additional data from MnDOT for the year 2000 was analyzed as well to better understand recent traffic trends. Between 2000 and 2016, there was a significant
decline in traffic along Southlawn (-41%), County Road D near the Mall (-37%), and along White Bear Avenue at County Road D (-25%). The one stretch of roadway in the North End that
experienced a significant increase during this time was along County Road D west of the Mall (+36%). This was likely due to the substantial new residential development that occurred
in this area during the early 2000s.

UTILITIES Water and sanitary sewer service is available throughout the North End and can accommodate significant development without major upgrades or improvements. There are two parallel
high-tension power lines that run east-west through the norther tier of the North End just south of County Road D. These power lines currently utilize substantial easements in parts
of the North End. Near the Maplewood Mall, the power lines do cross through portions of the parking lot. If redevelopment were to occur in this area, it would need to accommodate the
existing power lines.

REGIONAL ROAD AND TRAIL SYSTEMS The North End is well connected to the metropolitan region via Interstate 694, Highway 61, and five different Metro Transit routes. Local arterials, such
as White Bear Avenue and Beam Avenue, provide connections to nearby neighborhoods and adjacent cities. Moreover, the Bruce Vento Trail provides a safe off-street option for persons
traveling by foot or bicycle to connect to destinations to the south, including Downtown St. Paul, and other regional trails, such as the Gateway Trail.

does not flow into the North End from outside areas. Water in the southern two thirds of the North End generally flows southward to Markham Pond and then westward toward the Kohlmanin
the northern third of the North End generally flows northward and then westward toward Willow Lake and eventually southward toward into the Kohlmanand Keller chain of lakes.

North End Trade Area Forecasted Growth /
+32,000
FIGURE 02-17 Sources: US Census; Metropolitan Council; Perkins+Will Regardless of the amount of growth, important demographic trends will influence the type of development needed to
meet the growing demand. In particular, the population is aging, especially in the Trade Area. This will generate increased demand for multifamily housing, especially senior housing,
as well as healthcare services. At the same time, parts of the trade area closest to the North End, such as Maplewood, are seeing growth rates among younger adults, especially those
of child bearing age, increase at levels well above the metro area region. This indicates a growing demand for starter or entry-level housing as well as larger housing styles (i.e.,
3BR+ units or larger).Some of the demand for larger housing units generated by more households with children can be met as existing homes are vacated by empty-nesters and retirees who
downsize. However, income trends are creating a barrier to this dynamic. Since 2000 younger households (those under age 45) in the trade area have seen their median income lag well
behind the overall growth in median income. This means housing price appreciation, which many households rely on to build wealth, will have its limits.

MARKET ANALYSIS Prior to the start of the North End planning process, a market study was prepared that provides a data-supported understanding of the key market drivers impacting the
North End study area and its ability to attract investment and support future development. Findings from the analysis were used to inform project stakeholders throughout the planning
process of the potential to prioritize and/or implement elements of the North End Vision Plan based on their market and economic feasibility. Key findings and conclusions from the study
are presented below. The appendix includes the full study with detailed market and demographic data that was gathered and presented during the planning process.LOCATION AND TRADE AREA
The North End is a strategic location within the metropolitan region. It is situated along I-694, which provides excellent access to the regionIt is served by the Bruce Vento Regional
Trail, which connects to the other important regional trails. It is served by five different bus routes that connect the area to the downtowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul. It is being
planned for BRT, which will greatly increase the quality and frequency of transit service.Furthermore, there are other locational attributes that make the North End attractive to residents
and employers, which include the rich complement of retail goods and services within the district, access to a variety of healthcare services, proximity to Century College, a large
community college within two miles of the North End area, and proximity to a concentration of corporate campuses less than six miles to the west along I-694. Due to the North Endof
uses and activities, businesses located there can easily draw customers from a wide trade area that encompasses much of northern Washington County and northeastern Ramsey County.

up more than $100 in the past two years. Such favorable market conditions for developers means that construction of market rate apartments is above historic patterns, though overall
housing construction remains slow. After focusing in the central cities for many years, new apartment construction is beginning to increase in the suburbs. Within the North End, Conifer
Ridge, a 150-unit development, just opened and will be an important test of local market conditions.On the for-sale side of the market, home prices bottomed out in 2011 after the bust.
After seven straight years of year-over-year price increases, the median sales price finally exceeded the previous high from 2006 in 2018. Currently, the market is strong with very
low inventory (both existing and new construction), short sales times, and steep price increases. For the North End, rapid price appreciation is creating demand for townhomes and other
owner-occupied multifamily product.

Housing as a means to build wealth is already beginning to change. Since 2000 the homeownership rate in the trade area and across the region has dropped precipitously. The reasons for
this are both demographic (more households in their prime renting years economic (the recession-driven housing bust of the late 2000s). Nevertheless, homeownership as the primary investment
vehicle for most households is waning, which is resulting in increased demand for more multifamily rental housing. HOUSING MARKET The market study evaluated data pertaining to residential
construction trends, the rental apartment market, and the for-sale housing market. In terms of construction, there have been two important trends during the last 10-15 years. First,
the housing bust resulted in a profound decline in construction of new housing. Although housing construction has begun to increase in the last several years, it is still well below
historic patterns, which has resulted in a lack of supply that is currently not meeting demand. Second, there has been a shift away from building single-family units to multifamily
units, which

RETAIL MARKET Maplewood Mall anchors a retail district with nearly 2.5 million square feet of space. It is one of 14 retail districts with over two million square feet of space, which
includes everything from neighborhood retailers to those with a regional draw. The retail sector is undergoing profound changes as e-Commerce continues to capture and ever increasing
share of retail spending. This change is hitting regional shopping centers anchored by major department stores particularly hard. Although vacant retail space across all retail types
has been absorbed as the economy has improved in the wake of the recession, construction of new retail space has slowed considerably and rents have not increased appreciably. The uncertainty
shrouding the retail sector has definitely led to delayed investments, especially in brick-and-mortar assets. Retail environments that appeared to be bucking the trend are those in
which the experience of a shopping visit takes precedence over its convenience. This means integrating other active uses to help draw potential customers, such as fitness centers, food
markets, entertainment offerings, and office spaces. In some cases, retail centers are transforming their underutilized parking areas into various types of housing to better utilize
the space and help it contribute to an overall sense of vitality.

OFFICE MARKET Although the office market in the trade area is not prominent -- most of the main office districts are located in the west metro -- St. Johnsubmarket with an important
concentration of medical office buildings. Due to the recent completion of the HealthEast Office Building immediately west of St. JohnHospital, short-term demand for medical office
space is limited. However, the healthcare sector is forecasted to be the primary driver of job growth over the next 10 years in the metro area. Therefore, it is likely that demand for
medical office space in the North End will continue to grow. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) is forecasting the Healthcare sector in the Twin
Cities metro area to be the fastest growing industry sector into the foreseeable future.Moreover, given the recent merger of HealthEast and Fairview health systems, it is possible that
the combined resources of the two systems will leverage St. John Hospitalnortheast metro, thus adding to any organic growth driven by demographics and an ever evolving healthcare industry.

CASE STUDIES The market study also explored examples of how mixed-use districts anchored by large regional shopping centers have adapted to changing market conditions. SOUTHDALE MALL
- EDINA, MN The area surrounding the Southdale Center in Edina also includes a regional healthcare center (Fairview Southdale). In recent years, the parking lots of Southdale have been
filled in with a variety of new development, including hi-rise housing, lodging, and retail. In addition, the shopping center has transformed former department store spaces into a large-format
fitness center, a government services center, and a public library. The surrounding blocks are also evolving. Since 2014, over 1,600 new multifamily units have been built or are under
construction. BELMAR The area that once included the Villa Italia Mall in Lakewood, CO has undergone a significant transformation since the 1.4 million square foot mall the razed in
the early 2000s. Over a 10-year period (2004 to 2014), the former mall site was subdivided into 22 blocks with pedestrian-scaled streets and 800,000 square feet of new retail space
was constructed along with hundreds of new residential units and multiple office buildings.

LA GRAN PLAZA La Gran Plaza in Fort Worth, TX is an example of how an aging mall with high vacancy was revitalized through the re-positioning of the mall to better align with the changing
demographics of the surrounding community. In 2005, La Gran Plaza had a 15% occupancy rate. New ownership at the time focused on attracting Fort Worthpopulation. Through rebranding,
renovation, and new programming, the mall reached 90% occupancy in 2008, and is at 100% occupancy currently. Strategies included the conversion of more interior space into flexible
that could accommodate small start-up retailers, adding a significant amount of more programming, both inside and outside the mall, and making the environment much more conducive to
families with young children.

03 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The North Endknowledge, interest, and contributions that its residents, businesses, local officials, and advisory committees made to the development of the vision
and next generation plan. The planning process provided opportunities for community involvement in creative and practical ways to help shape the future of the North End. The major forces,
issues, and opportunities associated with the North End have been defined through a series of interactive committee meetings, outreach with businesses, community open houses, interviews
with property owners, and the availability of a robust set of on-line tools and resources. All the results and comments received from the various engagement strategies have been compiled
and included as an appendix to this report. NORTH END WORKING GROUP The North End Working Group (NEWG) providedinvaluable community input to help shape the development of North End
Vision Plan. The City of Maplewood selected the 26 members of the NEWG based on an open application process and several appointments, reflecting a wide subset of local business owners,
residents, area employees, representatives of key stakeholder groups, and government officials. After reviewing applications, the final members were selected in early October. The NEWG
met six times during the planning process. The Kick-Off in October 2018 included a review of current conditions in the North End and a mapping exercise to identify the North Endand
constraints. Subsequent meetings involved the development and eventual refinement of a preferred vision for the North End. Key activities used in this process

PUBLIC MEETINGS There were two Open Houses that informed the North End Vision plan. The first Open House occurred on August 21st, 2018, at the Ramsey County Library located within the
North End. The event kicked-off the planning process and had an attendance of well over 70 people. Attendees were encouraged to identify their favorite places in the North End and
describe their End. The second Open House occurred on May 29th, 2019, also at the library, to gain feedback on the final Vision Plan concepts. Around 60 members of the public were in
attendance, and were able to review and comment on the Vision Plan and proposed street cross sections, as well as discuss the plans for the Rush Line BRT with Ramsey County representatives.
BUSINESS OUTREACH Throughout the planning process, significant effort was made to create awareness and garner feedback from the North End business community including employers, employees,
and customers. Business engagement involved in a variety of methods and strategies. Employers were represented on the North End Working Group. In this setting, they had a direct link
to participating in the project. Representatives of the City of Maplewood conducted over 150 businesses. This involved a drop in visit with a request to speak to a decision maker at
the business, dropping off project materials, and talking to representatives about the project if they were inclined to do so. Rush Line BRT representatives conducted a series of these
visits as well. The goal of these visits was to create awareness of

following:•••••INTERVIEWS WITH MAJOR NORTH END PROPERTY OWNERS Several major property owners in the North End were interviewed because of the potential impact their future plans may
have on the North End. All four anchors that make up the Maplewood Mall as well as the primary mall owner were contacted. Three of these five entities were interviewed. In addition,
the owner of Birch Run Station (ACF Property) and leadership from St. Johnwere interviewed as well. The interviews involved soliciting feedback on a set of initial vision sketches
of the North End to determine whether they align or conflict with any plans they may have for their properties.

community members could visit the North Endand post comments about their favorite places in the study area, their desired improvements, and share their knowledge of specific issues,
such as safety conditions of certain intersections or areas with a tendency to flood. Community members could assign their comments to specific spots on the base map. NEWG members used
the projectimages of activities, places, building types, successful “in the North End. Additionally, draft versions of the final vision plan were also posted to the Social Pinpoint
site, ensuring that even those who were not part of the NEWG or who could not make it to an Open House could provide their feedback before the Vision Plan was finalized.

05 VISION PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS This section presents an illustrative vision for how the North End should evolve over time. It identifies recommendations for improving the public realm
environment, improving multi-modal connectivity, enhancing mobility, defining strategic redevelopment opportunities, and improving the overall character of the district in order to
maintain and strengthen its role as an important location where one can live, work, or play.The Vision Plan is not meant to prescribe the exact location and type of future development
within the North End. This is because almost all of the future development will be contingent on market trends and the decisions of private property owners. Therefore, the Vision Plan
must have a degree of flexibility to respond to ever changing market and cultural forces. Nevertheless, a clear Vision Plan supported by succinct goals, informative illustrations, and
codified guidelines will mold future public and private investments in a manner that is both inspirational and resilient.

NEAR-TERM VISION PLAN The Near-Term Vision Plan is intended to show the location of likely development and related infrastructure investments in the near-term (i.e., 0-10 years). Although
the concept of a vision is rooted in long range planning, change is constant. Therefore, it is important to identify where change is likely to occur in the near-term so that it can
be guided in a manner that does not compromise the long-term vision. This is especially important when one considers that the Rush Line BRT, once operational, may catalyze additional
development. Thus, near-term plans should account for how future development opportunities should be in a position to benefit from the BRT and vice-versa.It is also important to consider
a Near-Term Vision as a way to identify catalytic projects that will likely lead to further investment. For example, the extension of St. Johnestablish a critical connection in the
North End while at the same time open up several opportunities for additional development as well as establish a foundation for a new pattern of development.Finally, the Near-Term Vision
also illustrates how redevelopment can occur in an incremental manner for larger sites. For example, the Birch Run Station shopping center is shown as being partially redeveloped. By
approaching redevelopment incrementally, it can be phased in accordance with market trends.

LONG TERM VISION PLAN The Long-Term Vision Plan envisions a thorough transformation of the North End in which the development pattern has evolved to become more supportive of a multi-modal
transportation system. The majority of the envisioned changes are focused in the eastern and southern portions of the North End. This is primarily due to the presence of many commercial
buildings in this area that are more likely to be candidates for redevelopment given their age and condition. It is also because of the desire to better connect St. End, which would
necessitate a new street and, thus, opportunities for new development.Retail is envisioned to remain an important use within the North End. However, the Vision Plan does reflect changes
in the retail industry that will likely result in the need to redistribute retail space differently throughout the North End. Housing is an important component of the Vision Plan. Based
on the market study prepared for this planning process, over 1,600 new housing units could be supported in the North End over the next 20-30 years, provided viable and feasible sites
are available. Moreover, as the development pattern shifts toward smaller blocks and retail is redistributed to be more oriented toward street-fronting properties, there will be opportunities
at select locations to support housing located above retail or related commercial uses.The northwestern portion of the North End is not envisioned to change significantly over the long-term
because most of the buildings in this area are relatively new (less than 20 years old), residential, and located on smaller parcels.

EVOLUTION OF A MALL The retail industry is rapidly changing. New digital technologies are altering how we shop and socialize. This means that large malls like Maplewood Mall will need
to evolve in order to remain viable. There are many possible paths to how a mall can remain viable. The Long-Term Vision presented previously is but one possible path for Maplewood
Mall. Because Maplewood Mall is actually made up of multiple properties owned by different entities, a single vision is likely not enough. Therefore, shown here are three additional
possibilities for how Maplewood Mall could evolve over time and still adhere to the overall vision for the North End. These additional possibilities are based on recent transformations
seen at other large mall sites across the country.Alternative A is meant to show how space within the mall can be used for different purposes that might be complementary with retailing,
such as offices, schools, or medical clinics. Alternative B shows how portions of the mall could be replaced, but the building stays primarily intact with other buildings filling in
many of the underutilized parking areas. Alternative C shows how the entire mall building could be replaced with new buildings, which could consist of a mixture of retail, offices,
residential, or other uses. (See

VISION PLAN COMPONENTS TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT The Rush Line BRT will catalyze development in the North End, especially in the areas within ¼- to ½-mile from each station stop.
At a minimum, the North End Vision Plan envisions enhanced pedestrian connections to and from the station stops in order to maximize accessibility. Near the Metro Transit Center stop,
significant new development is envisioned, which will enhance ridership of the BRT by bringing more people to the North End and increasing the local population base likely to use transit.
Adjacent to the St. Johnstop, new development is shown that would take advantage of employees that would use the transit to go to and from the hospital. As parking demand changes for
the hospital over time, the current surface parking lots represent a significant amount developed into other uses.

STREET HIERARCHY The existing street system within the North End is envisioned to remain mostly intact with the possible exception of the Maplewood Mall ring road. However, a number
of the existing roads could be modified over time to become more conducive to other transportation modes as well as being beautified in order to make the experience of visiting the
North End more inviting and attractive. Most importantly, though, a number of new streets have been proposed that will greatly increase the connectivity within the North End. These
additional streets would create smaller blocks and support more development, especially in an around Maplewood Mall and Birch Run Station. Furthermore, new streets should be designed
to accommodate multiple transportation modes, have reduced speeds, and have enhanced public realm features that would elevate the pedestrian experience.

PEDESTRIAN-BICYCLE CIRCULATION As important as the changing street grid is the addition or more sidewalks, trails, bike facilities, and enhanced street crossings. These features improve
mobility, increase the level of safety, provide connections to transit, and increase the overall quality of the experience of moving through and within the North End. These types of
features also help facilitate economic development because more and more people, especially younger generations, actively look for these features when they consider where to work, live,
and socialize. Moreover, research conducted as part of the market study supporting this planning process revealed that developers are routinely looking to develop only in areas with
plentiful sidewalks, trails, and bike facilities, and accessible to transit.Significant new facilities have been identified throughout the North End. However, the most prominent proposed
feature would be a raised pedestrian/bicycle crossing over White Bear Avenue.

GREEN SPACE AND AMENITIES Green space is an important cornerstone to the North End Vision Plan. The existing green space in the North End is highly regarded and considered a great asset.
However, based on feedback received throughout the planning process, it is evident that the North End is still lacking a lot of desired green spaces and the amenities that go along
with them. Therefore, the Vision Plan calls for not only connecting existing green spaces to one another but also adding green spaces throughout the North End in a variety of forms,
such as pocket parks, an improved public realm with an extensive tree canopy, strategically located water features, arbors, plazas, and various green infrastructure, such as stormwater
management. If possible, consideration should be given to conversion of parts of Maplewood Mall into an indoor public park with a connection to outdoor green spaces.

Land Use and Development Density

LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT DENSITY Most of the areas identified for change in the North End Vision Plan were guided for a mixture of uses in the Maplewood 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This
is consistent with the range of uses being shown in the North End Vision Plan. The majority of new development envisioned for the North End would be housing as this the real estate
with strongest demand into the foreseeable future. This is followed by retail and related commercial uses. Much of the retail uses shown in the Vision Plan represent a redistribution
of existing retail space, which is currently contained in Maplewood Mall or Birch Run Station. The Vision Plan also identifies the need for lodging facilities and medical office space,
though the amount needed space for these uses is much smaller than for housing or retail.The zoning code covering most of the areas likely to change is Business Commercial. The zoning
district allows for a wide variety of uses and it does not have a maximum height requirement. However, given the costs associated with constructing buildings over six stories, it is
not anticipated that any new structures, with the exception of a hotel, would be over six stories in the North End. Furthermore, it is anticipated that in certain instances buildings
would be well under six stories, such as residential structures that would serve as a transition between lower intensity areas and higher intensity areas.

PARKING If the North End is going to remain a destination that attracts workers, shoppers, and visitors from outside the immediate neighborhood, there will need to be infrastructure
in place to accommodate parking of private vehicles, at least in the near-term. Clearly, the amount of underutilized parking throughout the North End means that significant amounts
of this land could be given over to other uses without an impact on the existing need for parking. However, if all of these underutilized parking areas are filled with new development,
this has the potential to create new parking issues. The North End Vision Plan addresses these potential concerns by accommodating future parking needs in a variety of ways. First,
any new street in the North End would have on-street parking. Second, many of the residential structures will be designed with underground parking. Third, two potential locations were
identified for adding structured parking for public use that would help alleviate the demand for on-street parking. Moreover, these structures should be designed with flat floors so
that the structure could more easily be converted into other uses should the demand for parking decrease over time. Fourth, the interior portion of many of the new blocks would be initially
design with surface parking that could eventually be developed over time if the demand for parking of private vehicles decreases.

Comfortable sidewalks shall line both sides of every street. A sidewalk easement may be required within a property line adjacent to a right of way to expand the clear walkway of a sidewalk.
Dimensions and locations vary, see be measured as a perpendicular dimension from the edge of the right of way, horizontally into the adjacent property. Striped pedestrian crosswalks
shall be considered at intersections and mid-block crossings.Sidewalk extensions or bulb-outs shall be implemented at crosswalks on streets with parking for traffic calming. Sidewalks
should be designed with considerations for universal accessibility to accommodate people with disabilities, children, seniors and adults. Sidewalks should be designed with adequate
space for street furniture that will provide an enhanced pedestrian environment with opportunities for people to linger, socialize and rest.
72
06.2 The street network at Maplewoodimproved to create a safe, comfortable, and complete system. A well designed network will promote walking, encourage cycling and slow vehicles as
they drive through this proposed mixed commercial Existing rights of way will remain, but the street network will be expanded to improve connections and increase widths. Substandard
sidewalks will be expanded within the right of way, or through easements within adjacent property.Standards •••Guidelines••

planting and street furniture.Along some rights-of-way there are additional edge conditions that fall within private property lines. These are located and sized to enhance the pedestrian
realm either by a contribution of right-of-way or an access and maintenance easement, or frontage elements within a setback that will enliven the sidewalk and contribute to a walkable
pedestrian experience. Standards Sidewalks are made up of the following two zones:••

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Maplewood North End Vision Plan
Select drought-tolerant plant species in the design of stormwater treatment systems.Creation of subdistrict stormwater management areas is preferred over an approach that treats each
space individually.Designed treatment systems such as bioswales, flow-through planters, permeable paving, and greenroofs should be utilized as part of a comprehensive approach to stormwater
management.Developments with more than one building that include greenways and/or parks are encouraged to treat their stormwater management areas in adjacent open spaces. Smaller parcels,
if developed concurrently with neighboring parcels, are encouraged to coordinate stormwater design in shared open spaces.
74
06.4 The integration of stormwater management in public open spaces lowers infrastructure costs, increases space efficiency, provides ecological benefits, and creates opportunities for
public interaction. Stormwater areas should be designed amenities that function effectively and contribute aesthetically to the site as a whole, integrating with the architecture and
streetscape design of the surrounding context. For example, raised planters can function as seating or stormwater treatment can be a feature within the pavement. Standards•Guidelines•••

BUILDING ARTICULATION AND STREETWALL
Maplewood North End Vision Plan
The above factors should be combined and adjusted to create different articulation concepts or effects for different areas of TunneyThe appropriate scale of articulation is generally
a function of the scale of the street, the building size and its responsiveness to adjacent open spaces, streets and built form context. In office and mixed-use areas with high levels
of pedestrian traffic for example, street edges should be supported by animated building facades to encourage a level of vibrancy. In residential areas, a more passive approach should
be taken to allow for a sense of privacy for residents, while also maintaining a sense of active habitation in such areas. The character of individual streets, and their various street
types, are defined by the streetwalls that frame them. In all cases, the design of the streetwall should ensure that buildings have clearly defined articulation that promotes a visual
distinction between residential, non-residential and mixed-use areas to allow for appropriate public realm animation, as well as intuitive identity of key building functions and purpose.
94
07.2 Building facades should be carefully articulated, focusing on: the rhythm of perceived vertical breakups; a distinct hierarchy between lower and higher levels; an orderly variation
in fenestration types; consistency in streetwall height and datum lines, and; consistency in ground floor frontage along front line (Guidelines••••

BUILDING SCALE AND ORGANIZATION
Maplewood North End Vision Plan
Residential buildings should express the scale and proportion of individual residential units through the use of balconies, expression of floorplates, and recesses and projections.The
streetwalls of buildings should be modulated with insets, notches, and larger scale projections that create shadow lines, conveying a sense of volumetric depth and modulation, and to
reduce the apparent building mass; The lower floors of buildings should be more highly articulated with elements such as bay windows, inset doorways, terraces, vertical piers, landscape
walls, art, and other design elements that reinforce a human scale.
96
07.3 The following guidelines are general guidance for architecture that is not monolithic, but appropriately scaled to create an interesting pedestrian experience, as well as architecture
where the building program is legible and well-organized. Guidelines Building design should use contrast and depth to reinforce massing or programmatic changes. For example, where the
tower meets the podium, building entries and building common areas are all logical locations for notches, reveals, and changes in materiality. Buildings should generally be articulated
with smaller scaled elements toward the base of the building, and larger, more volumetric elements toward the middle and top of the building.•••

07.4 RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT The focus of these buildings is the research and development of future products and technologies that are at the center of innovation. In order to provide
a setting that truly nurtures this innovation, the site design of research and development campuses should create inviting and comfortable semi-public open spaces, reinforce the sense
of collaboration and sharing of ideas and provide opportunities to exhibit and promote the ideas and technologies that are being innovated within. Buildings and campuses should be linked
to the rest of the district by a network of pedestrian and bicycle paths, landscaped open spaces, shuttles and publicly accessible streets. Master plans for these areas should be phased

Ensure associated open spaces, including courtyards, backyards, parkettes and corner plazas, allows for convenient access and visual connection from shared areas. Create a strong relationship
between private and public realm by locating decks, porches and patios facing onto dedicated public outdoor spaces.Indoor amenities should be located adjacent to the open space as a
way of increasing the synergy between both spaces. With the exception of street parking, all other parking should be tucked away from the street. For most mid-rise development, parking
should be located in the centre of the block, whether structured or semi-excavated, and wrapped with built form.The roof area on top of parking structures should be used for amenity
programs, or sustainable measures. Midrise buildings usually offer plenty of space for low impact development measures in the form of rooftops. When compare with other typologies, these
rooftops are usually flat, sheltered from the windy and have good access to sunlight, which makes them great candidates for greening practices beyond extensive green roofs: community
gardens, intensive greenroofs, gardens, etc. Other opportunities include solar panels and rainwater harvesting equipment.
!Convenient Open Space:••Concealed Parking:•••Sustainability Opportunity:••
Distinct visual breaks should occur every 5m, whether by changes in materials, datum line, vertical elements, protrusions in the façade or projections.Building lengths should be reduced
to allow for frequent pedestrian routes through buildings, whether by means of mews, mid-block connections, public lobbies, or pedestrian-friendly driveways. Articulate low- and mid-rise
buildings into smaller massing with major breaks in the facade and roof line in conjunction with changes in color and/or materials.Shadow impacts onto the public realm should be minimized
through flexible front step-backs that articulate building massing. A 1:1 ratio between total building height and planned right-of-way width should be maintained.Create context-sensitive
development that is appropriately scaled to adjacent neighbourhoods through strategies such as angular planes, setbacks and step-backs. The scale of buildings should be responsive to
their own lot depth and dimensions, in order to avoid overshadowing or intruding the privacy of neighbours.Activate the transition zone between private living spaces and orient primary
unit entries on the ground floor towards adjacent public amenity areas, open spaces, lanes or public rights-of-way.

are intended to provide opportunities for workers, residents and others to occupy and inhabit the setback area. Intended to be visually appealing, socially engaging and interconnected
with ecological systems within the public realm, the setback area includes private or semi-private outdoor spaces directly adjacent to a building. Semi-private campuses and courtyards
are intended to play a role in the overall open space system.GuidelinesSetback:or structure shall be taken as the horizontal distance, measured perpendicularly, from the property line

The usage of glass or transparent materials is encouraged to improve safety at entrance points. Primary entrances to multi-unit residential and commercial units should be flush with
the sidewalk and located at-grade. The usage of ramps should be encouraged for secondary entrances where at-grade strategies are not available. Development with commercial or active
retail components at grade should have direct access to the public realm and minimize the obstruction of entrance doors to pedestrian traffic on the street. Entrances of low-rise built
form should face the street to encourage safety and Dark or unrecognizable entrances; entrances obscured by vegetation or other street elements; lack of landing area before and/or
after the door; location disconnected from pedestrian routes and destinations; and mundane entries that do not respond to the scale or importance of the building in general should be
avoided .

BUILDING ENTRANCES
Maplewood North End Vision Plan
Entrance features should be prominent to differentiate between the entrance and its relation to the rest of the building. Within a building façade, entrances serve as the focal point
and should be easily distinguishable from the public realm. Entrances should be complementary in color, materiality and articulation to the remainder of the building to maintain a cohesive
streetwall. Building entrances should incorporate sheltering elements to provide weather protection. Opportunities include awnings, recessed entries, porticos, front porches, and/or
verandas. Sheltering elements not only provide weather protection but can also contribute to the overall architectural expression of the building.All building entrances should be designed
to follow the ADA codesBuilding entrances should be designed in response to the building that they serve. Lobby entrances to office complexes and mixed-use buildings should maximize
ground floor height to create aesthetically pleasing, well-illuminated and welcoming entry points into waiting areas. Transparency in lobby spaces is important to maximize visibility
and encourage interior and exterior connections through the building.

BUILDING PERFORMANCE & SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES
Maplewood North End Vision Plan
Buildings should be designed with operable windows and vents that allow for natural ventilation of the building in case of power outages in extreme weather events. Buildings that allow
for natural ventilation reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling and provide a higher-quality indoor environment. Consideration should be given to optimizing floorplates and
unit layouts to allow for cross-ventilation. Buildings should be designed to maximize the use of daylighting for all inhabited interior spaces in order to provide a high quality indoor
environment, reduce overall energy consumption and reduce exposure to artificial lighting which can negatively impact human health.West- and south-facing facades should be designed
to balance solar access with the need to control heat gain. Building roofs should be designed to include systems such as vegetated roof covers, plants and roofing materials with high
albedo surfaces in order to reduce heat island effect and slow rainwater runoff.

The North End will be a community unlike any other that exists in Maplewood today. It is intended as a high intensity, mixed-use district that is pedestrian and transit focused. As
such, a series of new open space typologies are proposed in order to support the urban nature of this district by allowing for activities such as: sitting, walking, gathering, gardening,
play and contemplation. Below are a series of broad recommendations for the unique programming and character of these new and innovative open spaces.GuidelinesUrban Park:size. An Urban
Park must be located along a public street, public transit or district shuttle route and be adjacent to or incorporate access to multi-modal circulation. An Urban Park should be located
close to the center of the defined project area. They are intended to serve a large part of the outdoor recreational and social needs of the district. These spaces should allow for
a range of program elements including, but not limited to: informal playgrounds and fields, tot lots, outdoor fitness equipment, walking tracks, and open areas to accommodate social
gatherings. Urban

End property owners. This will ensure that the City remains informed of potential development opportunities that arise in upcoming years. More importantly, though, it will help the City
to be a better partner with the private sector by helping them to successfully navigate the development process or financially support catalytic developments. The City of Maplewood
should formally adopt the North End Vision Plan as a separate policy plan as part of their overall comprehensive city plan process. Formal adoption of the North End Vision Plan strengthens
the Citywhich sends a strong signal to potential project partners (e.g., property owners, developers, other governmental jurisdictions, etc.) that the City is serious about supporting
change.The City of Maplewood should use the included design guidelines to support the recommendations of the Vision Plan. The design guidelines can be part of a cohesive set of zoning
recommendations that can be adopted by the City or as a special set of standards that can be included as part of an overlay district.Use the Vision Plan to guide land use and amend
the zoning ordinance to best support desired future development in the North End. The City of Maplewood should review any infrastructure projects in its CIP slated for the North End
to ensure such projects align with the Vision Plan and its recommendations.
In addition to the immediate interventions noted above, the City of Maplewood can also take immediate actions that will bolster the policy and regulatory environment for enabling change.

09 IMPLEMENTATION The Maplewood North End Vision Plan specifies new public and private infrastructure and amenities required to support the emergence of a walkable, transit-oriented
district with residential and retail uses. The Maplewood North End Vision Plan will require ongoing funding for operation and maintenance costs associated with new infrastructure, amenities,
and general population growth. Examples include street maintenance, park maintenance, police and fire services, general government services, and administrative costs for implementation.This
section outlines a strategic approach to phasing various parts of the plan and identifying funding sources for constructing public improvements and desirable private development. The
first part of the strategy identifies major projects and phasing, divided into the categories of Movement and Accessibility, Public Realm and Open Space, and Development. These are
followed by an overview of funding and financing sources/mechanisms applicable to the projects. North End Vision Plan ActionsImmediate Actions: recommendations are implemented depends
on a combination of political will, funding availability, and market dynamics. Therefore, it will likely take many years (potentially decades) before the North End begins to achieve
a truly transformative character and feel as outlined in the Vision Plan. Although the path to change is long, the first steps in the journey are critical because they not only need
to be in the right direction but they also need to be taken right away after the completion of the planning process in order to capitalize on the positive energy and momentum of establishing
a vision.

on them (the former Sears store and the Birch Run Station). However, the former Sears store is currently vacant, which means there is an opportunity to work with the current property
owner to consider how their future plans for site can be integrated with the North End Vision Plan.

Funding and Financing Sources and Mechanisms A spectrum of potential funding sources and mechanisms exist for implementing the improvements identified in the Maplewood North End Vision
Plan. This section describes these sources and mechanisms and their potential uses in Maplewood. In many cases, multiple funding sources will need to be combined to pay for specific
projects.Funding for improvements in the North End will come from a mix of developer contributions (both required and negotiated), city resources, outside grants, and district-based
responsibilities for private developers and the City are clear in some instances meet minimum development standards requirements and pay citywide impact fees for infrastructure. However,
funding many of the infrastructure improvements in the North End the higher-density growth mutually desired by the City and developers and property owners to clarify funding responsibilities
and to establish new mechanisms. Implementation of the North End Vision plan will also require more detailed studies and an ongoing management process involving the City, developers/property
owners, and local utility providers. Developer Contributions:•
