RESOLUTION 02-OS-096
VARIANCE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Rick I{line, of Kline Auto World, applied for a variance from the zoning ordinance.
WHEREAS, this variance applies to properties at 3090 and 3110 Maplewood Drive. The property
identification numbers are 03-29-22-22-0002 and 03-29-22-22-0003. The legal description is:
Tract "A", Registered Land Survey No. 15, on file in the office of the Registrar of Titles within and for
said County, except that part lying easterly of a line beginning at a point on the north line of said Tract
1494.91 feet west of the northeast corner of said Tract; thence southeasterly at an angle of 56 degrees, 43
minutes with said north line 445.39 feet; thence at an angle of 79 degrees 39 minutes to the right 188.7
feet to a point on the south line of said Tract 1303.88 feet west from the southeast corner of said Tract,
Ramsey County, Minnesota. Torrens Certificate Number: 171003.
WHEREAS, Section 36-196(h)(3) of the wetland protection ordinance requires a 100-foot-wide
wetland buffer.
WHEREAS, the applicant proposed a 25-foot-wide wetland buffer.
WHEREAS, the city council approved a 50-foot-wide wetland buffer.
WHEREAS, the history of this variance is as follows:
1. On May 6, 2002, the planning commission recommended that the city council approve this
variance.
2. The city council held a public hearing on May 28, 2002. City staff published a notice in the
Maplewood Review and sent notices to the surrounding property owners as required bylaw. The
council gave everyone at the hearing an opportunity to speak and present written statements. The
council also considered reports and recommendations from the city staff and planning
commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the city council approve the above-described
variance for the following reasons:
1. Strict enforcement-of the code would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to
8
City Council Meeting OS-28-02
the property and not created by the property owner. The 100-foot-wide wetland buffer
requirement would make development of this site difficult.
2. The variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance, since the applicant
would improve a portion of the wetland buffer substantially over its present state and will treat
storm water from the site with a subsurface storm water infiltration system.
3. The city council previously approved similar wetland buffer variances for three developments
near this proposal.
Approval is subject to the applicant doing the following:
Dedicating a 50-foot-wide wetland protection buffer easement along the wetland edge. This
easement shall be prepared by a land surveyor, shall describe the boundary of the buffer and shall
prohibit any building, mowing, cutting, f lling or dLUnping within the buffer. The applicant shall
record this easement before the city will issue a building permit.
2. Submitting a revised graduig plan showing compliance with the required wetland dedications.
The grading plan shall include grading to within 10 feet of the wetland edge, with restoration of
the remaining 40 feet of wetland buffer consisting of native plantings to be approved by staff and
the watershed district (see landscape requirement below).
3. Submitting a revised landscape plan for the restoration of 40 feet of the wetland-protection
buffer. This plan shall be subject to staff and watershed district approval. Underground irrigation
is required for all landscaped areas, exchiding the wetland protection buffer.
4. Installing city approved signs at the edge of the wetland-protection buffer that prohibit any
building, mowing, cutting, filling or dumping within the buffer.
5. Submitting a signed maintenance agreement to the Ramsey/Washington Metro Watershed
District and the city for maintenance of the subsurface storm water infiltration system that
accepts responsibility for any necessary maintenance and upkeep of the system.

5. Governor Jesse Ventura's Letter-Mayor Cardinal Read the following letter into the record:
Dear Mayor,
For the last few months we have been arguing about money here at the Capitol-mostly about how
to close significant short and long-term deficits. But today I'm not writing about how to close
significant short and long-term deficits. But today I'm not writing about the reserves and the
$400 million dollars a year of cuts that we've been arguing about since November. I want to talk
about the $23 billion a year in overall spending that will still be available when the legislature
has finally gone home. That's a lot of taxpayer money, and there is a lot that we can-and will-do
with it. Those billions have to be carefully managed all year long.
We are using two websites to show our key performance results for state government:
www.BigPlanResults.state.mn.us and www.DepartmentResultsstate.mn.us. These sites show

City Council Meeting OS-28-02
several important results we want to achieve, our targets for performance, and how we are doing
so far-good, bad, or indifferent. The Star Tribune editorial page described this as "a useful way
for state government to fulfill its duty to be accountable to Minnesota citizens, no matter who is
governor." That's what I want. Whether I run for re-election in the fall or not, I hope citizens
will demand that any future governor will lay out the State's progress on results.
My office uses the information on these sites as a management tool with commissioners and
departments. We get regular progress reports and updates, and every week the Chief of Staff,
along with the commissioners of Finance, Employee Relations, Planning and Administration
meet with a different commissioner to go over his/her results.
Log on. Let us know what you think. For specific comments on the website results, you're
welcome to use the feedback buttons. You can also write or call Tom Moss, the. Director of
Results Management, at (651) 215-1287. His email is tom.moss(a~state.mn.us, and his address is
300 Centennial Building, 658 Cedar Street, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55155.
Thank you for your support of managing for results in government.
Sincerely,
Jesse Ventura
Governor
