The site is zoned B-3 Highway Business and Warehousing District and falls within the Destination Retail Highway Sign District. In that this is a totally new building on an empty lot, the Applicant will need to comply with the Design Guidelines for the building and site improvements. EXHIBITS The review is based upon the following submittals: Exhibit 1: Location Map Exhibit 2: Project Narrative, March 12,2018 Exhibit 3: Boundary/Topographic Survey Exhibit 4: Existing Conditions and Demolition Plan(C100) Exhibit 5: Proposed Site Plan(C200) Exhibit 6: Storm Drainage and Grading Plan(C300) Exhibit 7: Utility Plan(C400) Exhibit 8: Erosion Control Plan(C500) Exhibit 9: South Planting Plan(L100) Exhibit 10: North Planting Plan and Landscape Details(L101) Exhibit 11: Electrical Site Plan (E002) Exhibit 12: Light Fixture Specifications Exhibit 13: Architectural Site Plan (A001) Exhibit 14: First Floor Plan (A101) Exhibit 15: Second Floor Plan (A102) Exhibit 16: Third and Fourth Floor Plan (A103) Exhibit 17: Exterior Elevations (A201) Exhibit 18: Picture of Holiday Inn Express, Eagan MN Exhibit 19: Sustainability Background Information PROJECT DESCRIPTION Kirk Schultz has provided a Project Narrative found as Exhibit 2. Excerpts from the narrative are as follows: Madison Hospitality Group (MHG) intends to develop a 4 story, 93 guest room Holiday Inn Express on what is currently known as the Stillwater Motors site, located at 5921 Memorial Drive. The hotel will offer a complimentary continental breakfast to guests and will include a small pool, fitness room, and a small meeting room for incidental use by the guests. Once development is complete, MHG will continue on as the ownership and management group as they develop properties for long term ownership. Timing of the project is anticipated as bidding during the late summer of 2018. Construction will start in the late summer/early fall of 2018 with an expected opening in summer of 2019. Agencies conducting reviews of the proposed development include the City of Oak Park Heights and Browns Creek Watershed District. These agencies will be reviewing for general compliance of rules and regulations within their jurisdiction. The site is currently zoned as B-3 Highway Business and also falls within the Destination Retail Highway Sign District. The project will be treated as a Conditional Use Permit due to a few areas where relief from zoning code requirements are requested. Zoning waivers requested are listed below. Detailed information for each can be found in the supporting information that follows. • Front Yard Setback — 40' min. required; +1-25' to parte cochere requested. All other building setbacks are met. • Parking Stall Count— 115 stalls required; 106 proposed. • Building Height — 3 stories/35' height max. allowed. 4 stories/47'-10" (to top of tallest parapet) proposed. 2 ISSUES ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Highway Business/Warehouse on the Proposed Land Use Map. The use of the site as a hotel is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning. The property is zoned B-3 Highway Business and Warehousing District. Motels/hotels are a Conditional Use provided that the lot area contains not less than five hundred (500) square feet of lot area per unit. With a 2.4-acre (104,599 square foot) site, and 93 units proposed, there is more than adequate lot area. Requests for a reduced front yard setback, reduction in number of parking stalls, allowance for number of wall signs, and request to exceed the building height requirement have also been made. A discussion of each of these requests will be made as follows in this report. Section 401.300.E.16 and Section 401 .15.C.1.e.5) of the Zoning Ordinance provides criteria for review of the Conditional Use Permits. Lot and Building Standards. Lot and building standards required in the B-3 District are as follows: Standard B-3 District Proposed Hotel Lot Size 15,000 square feet 2.4 acres (104,599 sq ft) Lot Width 100 feet 171 feet, 4 inches at narrowest point Front Yard Building 40 feet 25 feet to canopy Setback 50 feet to building 61 feet to building Side Yard Building Setback 10 feet 168 feet, 4 inches north 102 feet south Rear Yard Building Setback 20 feet 55 feet, 8 inches Building Height 35 feet 47 feet 10 inches (4 stories) Parking Setback 10 feet 10 feet Impervious Building 80 percent max 69 percent Coverage Setbacks. The proposed setbacks will comply with the requirements except for the front yard building setback to Memorial Avenue North. The building setback is 40 feet and the site plan indicates a 25 foot setback to the canopy structure. The building front yard setback is 50 feet in that the requested increase in building height also requires an increased setback. While the building meets all setback requirements, the setback for the canopy structure requires a Conditional Use Permit. Due to the configuration of the lot and the narrowness created by the cul de sac, a setback conditional use permit is reasonable. 3 Section 401.15.C.1.e.5)of the Zoning Ordinance allows for deviations from the setback by conditional use. Please find a review of this request as follows: 5) A required yard on a lot may be reduced by a conditional use permit if the following conditions are met: a) The reduction of setback requirements is based upon a specific need or circumstance which is unique to the property in question and which, if approved, will not set a precedent which is contrary to the intent of this Ordinance. Comment: The location of the cul du sac and the fact that it qualifies under the definitions as the front yard is unique to this lot and provides limitations on siting of buildings. Only the canopy structure, not the four-story building, is within the required front yard setback area. b) Property line drainage and utility easements as required by the City's Subdivision Ordinance are provided and no building will occur upon this reserved space. Comment: There will be no building located on the drainage and utility easements. c) The reduction will work toward the preservation of trees or unique physical features of the lot or area. Comment: There are no trees or unique physical features of the lot except for the existing location of the cul du sac. d) If affecting a north lot line, the reduction will not restrict sun access from abutting lots. Comment: There is no impact to abutting lots. e) The reduction will not obstruct traffic visibility, cause a public safety problem and complies with Section 401.15.B.6 of this Ordinance. Comment: The reduction will not result in any traffic or safety issues. t) The conditions of Section 401.03.A.7 of this Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met. Comment: A review of the criteria indicates that this use would be compatible with the Ordinance. All parking and drive aisles must be set back at least 10 feet from the property line. All of the parking and driveway areas are compliant with this requirement. 4 Building Height. The maximum building height allowed within the B-3 District is 35 feet and 3 stories. The proposed structure will be 47 feet, 10 inches to the highest parapet with four stories. Section 401.300.E.16 provides for deviations from the maximum building height by conditional use. Please find a review of this request as follows: 16. Buildings in excess of three (3) stories or thirty-five (35) feet provided that: a. The site is capable of accommodating the increased intensity of use. Comment: The site is of adequate size to accommodate the request. b. The increased intensity of use does not cause an increase in traffic volumes beyond the capacity of the surrounding streets. Comment: The hotel use will not exceed the capacity requirements for the existing roadways. c. Public utilities and services are adequate. Comment: The public utilities and services are adequate to serve the site. d. For each additional story over three (3) stories or for each additional ten (10) feet above thirty-five (35) feet, front and side yard setback requirements shall be increased ten (10) feet. Comment: The front and side yard requirements are met for the 4-story building. Only the canopy structure, at approximately 17 feet in height is within the required 40-foot setback. e. The project shall comply with the Minnesota Sustainable Building 2030 (S82030) energy standards and Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines (83) or as amended. Comment: The project narrative addresses in detail how the project will comply with the Minnesota Sustainable Building 2030 energy standards. There are some aspects of those standards that the project will not be able to comply. Additionally, the hotel will utilize the Green Engage program that will help the hotel "monitor, reduce, and manage waste, water and energy consumption and carbon emissions. An explanation of that program is found as Exhibit 19. f. There shall be no parking in the yards facing adjacent rights of way. Comment: There will be parking within the front yard, but that area will be significantly landscaped to reduce the impact from Memorial Avenue North. 5 g. On the third and upper floors, windows and/or architectural features that provide interest shall be included on all four sides of the building when permitted within the building code. Comment: The building features an articulated roof line, windows, and changes in building materials at the upper two stories. h. Abrupt changes in building heights and/or roof orientation shall be diminished by offsets of building form and mass. Comment: There is only a slight change in the building height at the front entrance of the building. i. Recesses and projections to visually divide building surfaces into smaller scale elements shall be included. Comment: The building features a prominent projection in the façade at the front entrance and the building surfaces features changes in building materials and colors. j. Color shall be used to visually reduce the size, bulk and scale of the building. Comment: Color is used to reduce the appearance of size, bulk and scale of the building. k. Buildings forty (40) feet or over shall provide rooflines with articulated features. Comment: The roofline includes an articulated feature at the front entrance. I. Location of back flow prevention devices and the fire sprinkler riser shall be identified on project plans submitted for site and design review and shall be located inside the building. Comment: The Building Official shall review the plans to assure that the building code requirements are met. m. The provisions of Section 401.03.A.7 of this Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met. Comment: The criteria shall be reviewed as follows in this report. The Planning Commission and City Council should consider the conditional use permit criteria, found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance, as follows: 6 1. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the municipal comprehensive plan. 2. The conformity with present and future land uses in the area. 3. The environmental issues and geographic area involved. 4. Whether the use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. 5. The impact on character of the surrounding area. 6. The demonstrated need for such use. 7. Traffic generation by the use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the property. 8. The impact upon existing public services and facilities including parks, schools, streets, and utilities, and the City's service capacity. 9. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained herein (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.). Comment: The Planning Commission and City Council should review the above criteria regarding the request for Conditional Use Permits. City Staff sees no issues with the requests as proposed, except for the fourth wall sign. As discussion of that request is as follows in this report. Parking. The Zoning Ordinance, in Section 401 .15.F, requires one space for each rental unit plus one additional space for each 10 units, plus one space for each employee shift for hotels. Per this requirement, the site would require 115 parking spaces. The site plan indicates 106 parking spaces on site. The Applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to vary from the requirement and has indicated in the narrative the justification for the lesser number of stalls. Based upon other hotels of this size, the proposed parking will adequately serve the site. The site will also accommodate five disability accessible stalls in compliance with requirements. All the parking stall and driveway dimensioning is within the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Traffic Circulation/Curb Cuts. The site will be accessed by Memorial Avenue North with two curb cuts. The Zoning Ordinance indicates that driveway access curb openings on a public street shall not be located less than 40 feet from each other for commercial properties. The two curb cuts are significantly more than 40 feet apart. As development continues in this area, it is expected that Memorial Avenue North will be reconstructed as an urban section of roadway with curb and gutter as well as sidewalks. The City will condition approval of the project on the Applicant agreeing to escrow sufficient funds, as specified by the City Engineer, to complete the improvement or agree that the City will complete the work and petition for the public improvement, waiving notice of public hearing and assessments, as required under Minnesota Statute 429. Pedestrian Access. The site plan indicates a connection to a future sidewalk on Memorial Avenue North. The sidewalk should be extended at this time to the existing roadway pavement. When Memorial Avenue is reconstructed, a sidewalk will be added 7 along this roadway. Having the connection on the hotel property at this time will assure pedestrian access to the site. Snow Storage. The plans do not indicate an area for snow storage. The applicant shall provide a plan or indicate if snow will be hauled off the site. Landscaping. The submitted landscape plan is subject to City Arborist review and approval. City Arborist comments are found as an Exhibit to this report. Lighting. The submitted photometric plan illustrates light levels are within the maximum requirements of the lighting standards found in Section 401.15.6.7 of the Zoning Ordinance. Light standards may not exceed 25 feet from the ground surface to the top of the light fixture. The lighting plans indicate pole heights at 30 feet, but the narrative indicates the pole height at 15 feet. The plans will need to be revised to reflect a compliant pole height. The freestanding light fixtures, as provided in the application materials, are to be a LED fixture that will be full cut off, including the bollard lights at the front of the building. There are several wall fixtures proposed for the structure. The architectural accent lights are proposed to provide up, side and downlighting. The City has only allowed down or up architectural lighting. The plans should be revised to reflect his change. The Zoning Ordinance allows for decorative fixtures and lighting of architectural features, subject to approval of the City Council. The Planning Commission should comment on the use of the architectural lighting. All light fixtures will need to comply with Section 401.15.6.7 of the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to lighting requirements. Trash Storage. The plans show the location and design of the trash enclosure. The structure will be constructed of brick to match the hotel and the gates will be metal. Mechanical Screening. The plans indicate that the roof top mechanical units are provided with screening enclosures. All mechanical equipment shall be required to be screened as provided in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance requirements. Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Utilities. Grading, drainage, erosion control, and utility plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. There are additional engineering details that have been requested by the City Engineer. These items will need to be provided prior to approval by the City Council. Storm water issues are also subject to review and approval by the Brown's Creek Watershed District. Signage. Freestanding Sign. The applicant has proposed one monument sign at the southerly entrance to the site. The proposed monument sign would be 20 square feet in size and six feet in height. The sign regulations allow for the monument sign as proposed. 8 Wall Signage. The following wall signage is proposed: Total No. Sign Square Feet of Signs North Façade: 122 1 South Façade: 122 1 East Façade: 122 1 West Façade: 122 1 TOTAL 488 4 The Zoning Ordinance would allow for three wall signs on separate building facades. The Applicant should remove one of the wall signs to be compliant, or the Planning Commission and City Council can consider issuing a Conditional Use Permit to increase the number of allowable wall signs. Staff would recommend that three signs be allowed, in that it is consistent with most of the signage allowed on the Highway 36 corridor. The total allowable wall sign area,would be 500 square feet in that the site is within the Destination Retail Highway District. With the monument sign the proposed sign area is 508 square feet,which is allowable. Sign Illumination. The monument sign is proposed to be internally lit. The wall signs are internally lit and will be compliant with the Ordinance. The signs will be required to comply with the Zoning Ordinance lighting requirements. Staff will approve the lighting specifications for the signs at the time of permitting. Design Guidelines Sustainable Guidelines. The project narrative addresses how the project will comply and not comply with the Minnesota Sustainable Building 2030 energy standards. Additionally, the hotel will utilize the Green Engage program, that will help the hotel "monitor, reduce, and manage its consumption and emissions. An explanation of that program is found as Exhibit 19. Architectural Guidelines. Façade Treatments The building will have a definite base, middle and top. The façades feature different materials, textures and colors. There is also a prominent entrance canopy and a varied parapet height to provide architectural interest. 9 Ground Level Expression This is a four-story building with excellent visibility to Highway 36. The main entrance is well defined by different building materials and the entrance canopy. Transparency The building uses glass on all the facades. The Design Guidelines requires at least a 20 percent transparency on ground floor, street facing facades. The ground floor of the façade facing Memorial Avenue is 23 percent transparent. Entries The building features a prominent entry with an entrance canopy. Roof Design The roofline is broken by a raised parapet at the front entrance. The rooftop mechanical equipment will be completely screened, except that one box is shown as not being screened. The Applicant should provide more information. Building Materials and Colors The applicant has provided color elevations for review. The primary building materials of brick, stone and glass will comply with the guidelines except that the east and west facades fall a few percentage points from the recommended amount of primary building materials. The Planning Commission should comment. None of the prohibited building materials will be used. Building material samples will be available at the Planning Commission meeting. Franchise Architecture The building is a franchise design, but the design and materials comply with the Design Standards. This should be discussed by the Planning Commission. Site Design Guidelines Building Placement The proposed building has a well-defined entrance facing Memorial Avenue North and will be visible from Highway 36. Parking Areas The parking areas meet all City standards. The parking area is well landscaped with perimeter plantings. Storm water Storm water will be addressed by the City Engineer. Pedestrian and Common Space The plans indicate extension of the sidewalk from the front entrance to Memorial Avenue North. When Memorial Avenue North is reconstructed,a sidewalk will be included along the right of way. 10 Landscaping Significant plantings are provided in and around the parking lot, as well as around the perimeter of the building.

Group RECEIVED MAR 12 2018 TABLE OF CONTENTS PROJECT NARRATIVE 2 LEGAL DESCRIPTION 7 EXTERIOR PHOTOS 8 IHG GREEN ENGAGE REFERENCE INFORMATION 9 HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS OAK PARK HEIGHTS, MN RAMAKER PROJECT NUMBER 33945 PROJECT NARRATIVE 03/12/2018 Madison Hospitality Group (MHG) intends to develop a 4 story, 93 guest room Holiday Inn Express on what is currently known as the Stillwater Motors site, located at 59XX Memorial Drive. The hotel will offer a complimentary continental breakfast to guests and will include a small pool, fitness room, and a small meeting room for incidental use by the guests. Once development is complete, MHG will continue on as the ownership and management group as they develop properties for long term ownership. Timing of the project is anticipated as bidding during the late summer of 2018. Construction will start in the late summer/early fall of 2018 with an expected opening in summer of 2019. Agencies conducting reviews of the proposed development include the City of Oak Park Heights and Browns Creek Watershed District. These agencies will be reviewing for general compliance of rules and regulations within their jurisdiction. The site is currently zoned as B-3 Highway Business and also falls within the Destination Retail Highway Sign District. The project will be treated as a Conditional Use Permit due to a few areas where relief from zoning code requirements are requested. Zoning waivers requested are listed below. Detailed information for each can be found in the supporting information that follows. • Front Yard Setback — 40' min. required; +/-25' to porte cochere requested. All other building setbacks are met. • Parking Stall Count — 115 stalls required; 106 proposed. • Building Height — 3 stories/35' height max. allowed. 4 stories/47'-10" (to top of tallest parapet) proposed. Following is a summary of zoning requirements and need for flexibility within various standards: Section 401.300 — B3 Zoning District The following site characteristics are based on the B-3 zoning district. • Hotels are a permitted use within the B-3 zoning district. • Building Bulk & Dimension Standards STANDARD B-3 PROPOSED HOTEL Lot Size 46,500 sf 104,599 sf (0.94 acres) (2.4 acres) Lot Width 100 ft min 171.4' at narrowest spot Building Setback - Front 40' min (base) ± 25' west (pc) Yard 50' min (height) ± 61' west (bldg) Building Setback - side 10' min (base) ± 168'-4" north Yard 20' min (height) ± 102' south Building Setback - Rear 20' min (base) ± 55'-8" east Yard 30' min (height) Building Height (# of 35' (3 stories) 47'-10" (4 stories) stories) Impervious Surface 80% max 69% (72,130 sf) Coverage Parking Setback 10' min 10' min all sides Parking Required 93+10+12 = 115 106 1/unit + 1/10 units + 1/employee shift • FRONT YARD SETBACK CODE WAIVER - The unique shape of the site, with the cul-de-sac to the east and detention pond on the NE corner along with the electrical transmission line easement to the south, restrict building layout and orientation options. After looking at various options, the proposed layout seemed to meet the best of all scenarios. The 4 story building itself still meets the required 40' setback, it is only the single story porte cochere that we are requesting a setback waiver down to 25'. • BUILDING HEIGHT- The code section allows a maximum building height of 3573 stories. Due to the guestroom makeup of the hotel, 4 stories are needed. Zoning Code defines Building Height as "The distance to be measured from the mean ground level to the top of a flat roof, to the mean distance of the highest gable on a pitched or hip roof, to the deck line of a mansard roof, to the uppermost point on all other roof types." The proposed building has the following dimensions: o Top of Flat Roof=±42' o Top of Main Parapet=44'-90" o Top of Highest Parapet=47'-10" Based on these dimensions, we need to increase our building setback by 10; up to 50'. The building still meets this requirement, with the exception of the porte cochere as indicated previously. Section 401.28.E.8 lists additional requirements that must be met for buildings in excess of 3573 stories. With the following exceptions, we meet these requirements: e. The project shall comply with the Minnesota Sustainable Building 2030 standards: We have reviewed the SB2030 standards and they are quite extensive as applicable to this project. The added design and construction cost of meeting all of the requirements within the standards would render this project unfeasible. In some cases, current regulations and energy code requirements already require similar and even higher performance standards than when SB2030 was established in 2004. One other item for consideration is the Green Engage program that the hotel brand utilizes to "help hotels monitor, reduce and manage waste, water and energy consumption and carbon emissions." This program helps identify sustainable items that are more pertinent to hotel construction and operation. A few selections from this program are included after this narrative for reference. Following are SB2030 Guideline items we have identified that we are able to incorporate into the design: * S.2: Stormwater Management— We will work within the runoff rate, volume and quality guidelines identified. * S.3: Soil Management — Soil management and erosion control plans will be provided. * S.4: Sustainable Vegetation Design — 75% native plantings and neonictinoid products will be utilized. * S.5: Light Pollution Reduction — We will design the sight lighting within the suggested levels, cut-off type fixtures and 65 minimum CRI. * S.6: Erosion and Sediment Control during Construction — We will comply with NPDES site permit limits. * S.8: Building Water Efficiency — Low flow type fixtures will be utilized to the greatest extent possible. * S.12: Heat island Reduction — We will explore the use of permeable pavers in limited areas of the parking lot;high-reflective roof surfaces will be utilized. * S.13: Transportation Impacts Reduction—bicycle parking spots will be provided; provisions for electric car charging stations will be included; we are not exceeding, but actually asking for a reduction from the zoning requirement, preferred parking will be provided as well. * E.3: Efficient Equipment and Appliances—Energy Star equipment and appliance will be utilized to the greatest extent possible. * E.4: Atmospheric Protection — We will work to meet the refrigerant guidelines listed, keeping in mind that the MN State Building Code does have requirements that will serve as our baseline. * 1.3: Ventilation Design— We will investigate radon levels within the soil at this site and provide remediation as necessary. * 1.4: Thermal Comfort— The HVAC design will follow the guidelines as closely as possible. * 1.5: Quality Lighting —All public spaces of the hotel will have zoned controls to allow for adjustments with daylight areas. * 1.7: Vibration Reduction—the deflection limits listed for wood construction will be followed. * M.3: Waste Reduction and Management — a construction waste management plan will be implemented for efficient means to divert materials from disposal such as recycling bins, manufacturers reuse or salvaged for other uses. f No parking in yards facing adjacent ROW: We are proposing 4 parking stalls facing the Memorial Avenue ROW. These stalls do meet the 10' minimum parking setback. • PARKING—Parking on the site will consist of 106 stalls at grade. The developer fully supports this reduction with no concerns about inadequate parking. We feel the code required amount is in excess of what is needed for hotels of this type. With the advent of ride sharing, services such as Uber, and mass transit options, the parking requirements operationally have come down. To support this, we contacted a recently developed hotel of similar size. The property is a Hampton Inn hotel with 100 guestrooms and 103 parking stalls. They have indicated'that amount works just fine and even when full that amount works. We would say that in total it would be 10% of the time we are close. Staff is gone by the time most guests check in, that leaves only one or two employee cars in the lot when the guests are there." Other municipalities we are working in around the metro area have been allowing these hotels to be developed with reduced parking. As a rule of thumb when designing, if we have one stall per room plus stalls for a maximum employee shift, that has been more than adequate. • ARECHITECTURAL BUILDING STANDARDS —The exterior is to meet all standards established in the "City of Oak Park Heights Design Guidelines" Please refer to the included exterior material calculations as well as exterior elevations for calculations of the individual sides of the building. Proposed materials include a thin brick veneer system, stone, EIFS and metal windows. AS indicted in the calculations we are a bit short on two sides of the building and overall about 1% (270 sf) short of meeting the 60/30/10 requirements. We are primarily heavy on accent materials on two sides due to the PTAC grilles that are part of every guest unit which pushes the accent materials slightly over what is allowed. We are requesting approval of the exterior materials as proposed. Included at the end of this report are images of a recently completed Holiday Inn Express in Eagan which is nearly identical to the proposed design for this project. • SIGNAGE — Proposed signage will be in compliance with applicable zoning regulations. Per the Destination Retail Highway Sign District which regulates signage, the following signage is proposed as follows: SIGN TYPE NO. ALLOWED AREA NO. PROPSED AREA ALLOWED & HEIGHT PROPOSED & HEIGHT Pylon 1 200 sf/40' high 0 N/A Monument 1 100 sf, 20' high 1 20 sf(per side, 40 sf total), 6' high Wall Sign NORTH The lesser of 250 1 122 sf sf or 10% of wall area* EAST The lesser of 250 1 122 sf sf or 10% of wall area* SOUTH The lesser of 250 1 122 sf sf or 10% of wall area* WEST The lesser of 250 1 122 sf sf or 10% of wall area* 3 total 4 total 492 sf total allowed ** * Maximum 500 sf total wall signage for property ** May be increased by CUP for single occupany buildings, providing no freestanding sign exceeds 20' in height; and wall signs are identical in style, color and size. • SITE LIGHTING— Site lighting proposed will consist of pole mounted LED area lights, 15' high, for the major parking areas. Fixtures will be in compliance with Glare standards listed in the City Code. A sight lighting plan is included in the submittal package for reference. Construction Type The building is planned to be constructed as mixed use, Type V-A building. The entire building will be sprinkled per NFPA 13. • d" LEGAL DESCRIPTION _T 5 a ,� •STATE HIGHWAY NO 3 g + d+ Legal Descrintwefpmp.mwrOld MwbkNatMm Thk Insurance 59XX MEMORIAL AVENUE O Company-lidsStnmmitment erMotors 173254-NST,Nn dated September seta. ® ' �s a '1 d at1 Block 1.stlM.tsrMPMmAddhwwahnptw nnnNan*nsw OAK PARK HEIGHTS d ,s �' TITLE NOTES NORTH .V .9 . �> •The following Iwtrvments are shownperOM Repub.National Title insurance J ' A R •, Company Commitment Ne 32 54-NST.dated WM.mber 11 sol]. + p e -� •�B nage•*wlm Easement mer N0ILW TFR MOTORS ADO snow* 0 30 60 --- does= �- P p SBT02 06 b ° 245.42 1•as•JL ems ,d •9 M+nllem lore elect,*Mm per Book ax mew 126,oe<.Np.626e6 does not I y<d i = 1E.Efe'K'c',:-.11,, -`;,%lxr,,,,!o N z N«t tat subject property. lines CONTACT: III ' . m .15`T ; . <.y°1 *'! p- r--. �a to Subject to easement for electrical in Bwk x9]*I Deeds,pane MIS.D«.

Further,the general area is served by City owned STORM WATER lines—shown in GREEN LINES(below)that must remain in place and operational including an easement area of 30'that allows the City access to such pipes.Yet,with the above changes the City has had to adjust the location of a STORM SEWER lines and we must ensure the lines remain in a location that is serviceable and accessible.

The City and Developer require that the Developer provide a new easement around the re-aligned STORM WATER pipe as shown in MAP 2 as the pipe should not run on private property or unduly impact a constructed facility. The Planning Commission is required to hold a public hearing on this matter as such easements were provided to the public on an earlier plat. Staff recommends that the easement be vacated as shown in Map 1 and re- established in Map 2 as it removes provides the City clear site access conditioned upon the Developer providing a "waiver of impact" should the City be required to access this site as the pipe is closer to the structure that is generally permitted.

Comprehensive Plan 2018 Ys,' City of Oak Park Heights ate,; Introduction and Community Background INTRODUCTION AND COMMUNITY BACKGROUND The City of Oak Park Heights is in Washington County, Minnesota, on the banks of the lower St. Croix Scenic Riverway, which is the state border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Situated between the Cities of Stillwater and Bayport and 20 miles east of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area, the City's population has increased in the last 10 years to almost 5,000 persons. The City is bordered by the City of Stillwater to the north,the City of Bayport to the southeast,Baytown Township to the south and Lake Elmo/Stillwater Township to the west. The area was first platted in the late 1800s. Oak Park Heights was incorporated as a village in 1938 and became a City by State Statute in 1972. The City has been designated as Suburban by the Metropolitan Council, the regional planning agency in the area. As a component of the St. Croix Valley, Oak Park Heights offers an attractive quality of life with excellent educational, health care,and cultural facilities. Oak Park Heights is a very diversified community, being home to a large commercial/retail area with many national businesses and local enterprises, including the Highway 36 and County Highway 15 commercial areas, Xcel Energy power generation plant, the Sunnyside Marina,and the State of Minnesota Correctional Facility. Housing in Oak Park Heights is both attractive and diverse and features starter homes, bluff line river view homes, riverfront condominiums, and the Boutwells Landing senior community. The City currently has over 100 acres of designated park space comprised of five municipal park facilities. The parks consist of skating/hockey rinks and warming houses, softball/baseball fields, picnic shelters, tennis courts, and general playground equipment. The City has been awarded the "Tree City USA" award for the past 36 years. The City operates under a "Plan A, Council-Administrator" form of government, consisting of a Mayor and a four-member Council. The Mayor and Council are elected at large on a non-partisan basis,the Mayor for a four-year term and the Council for four- year staggered terms. The Council is responsible for adopting policies affecting City affairs, approving the annual budget, enacting ordinances and resolutions, and providing policy direction for City departments and activities. The City Council currently serves as the Economic Development Authority. The City has a Planning Commission and a Parks Commission. The Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2008. The Metropolitan Land Planning Act requires communities to review and update their Comprehensive Plans every 10 years,with the next update for Oak Park Heights due in December 2018. The City will also be updating its utility plans, Comprehensive Park and Trail System Plan, and amend its Zoning Ordinance and map,as necessary. ACr,, + Comprehensive Plan 2018 ' City of Oak Park Heights Page 1 INTRODUCTION AND COMMUNITY BACKGROUND The City of Oak Park Heights Mayor, City Council, Planning Commission, and staff have recognized the need for the update of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan as it is outdated with the current growth and change over the past 10 years. The Planning Commission and Parks Commission have been tasked with developing the draft Comprehensive Plan and the Parks and Trails Plan. The Comprehensive Plan document will be divided into specific sections, as found in the Table of Contents, located in the beginning of this document. The process by which the plan has been developed can be divided into five sections including issues identification, inventory, policy planning, plan development, and implementation. Each portion of the process will involve citizen participation and involvement of City officials. Issues identification involves a Community Survey, and opinion gathering process to determine a specific set of issues that must be addressed by the Comprehensive Plan. The inventory consists of documenting the City's existing conditions at a point in time. The results of gathering inventory information will provide a basis of text, charts, and maps illustrating the most relevant collected information. The next stage, policy planning, will determine future directives for Oak Park Heights through the identification of goals and policies. The City will also develop its vision statement. The policies that are created will promote direction for the subsequent planning sections of the document. The stage that follows consists of development of the physical plans and programs which will lay out the City's proposed land use, transportation, and community facilities plans. The final stage, implementation, will involve a discussion on how the plan will be used and brought into action. It will also provide the opportunity for the City to prioritize the plans and projects that result from the planning efforts of the Comprehensive Plan. On the following page, a base map of the City is represented. The map illustrates the corporate boundaries of the City at the beginning of 2017. This will be used throughout the plan as the basis for mapping the City of Oak Park Heights.

Social Inventory SOCIAL INVENTORY INTRODUCTION The City of Oak Park Heights has recognized the need to develop a Comprehensive Plan as a means of addressing and accommodating the community's future growth and development. The purpose of the Social Inventory is to identify past trends, to document the current conditions and to help identify issues for establishing a hierarchy of planning policies. These policies will help the community address a broad base of land use and development issues. With the help of a solid information and policy base, decision makers can evaluate and prioritize proposals for the community while fulfilling the City's long-term goals and objectives. Additional inventory information will be included in each of the individual sections of this plan. Population trends and projections will be included within the Land Use section. Oak Park Heights as well as Washington County population projections will be evaluated to show the overall growth, as well as detailing change by age groups. POPULATION GROWTH The statistics in the following table illustrate the trends in population within Oak Park Heights, surrounding cities, and Washington County. Between 2000 and 2015, the City grew at a rate of 19 percent, and Washington County grew at a 25 percent rate. The populations of the surrounding communities of Stillwater and Lake Elmo have been growing at a similar pace since 2000, while the City of Bayport has seen a slower rate of population growth at 16 percent. The population increases in the City have been attributed to job growth, and a continued increase in senior residential development in Oak Park Heights. The 2015 estimate and the projections of population reflected in the chart below is from the Metropolitan Council.

This is likely reflective of an increase in persons age 65 and over. It also reflects the natural trend of people having fewer children and the dynamics of the modern family. The 2015 estimate of population and households reflected below is from the Metropolitan Council. 2000-2015 OAK PARK HEIGHTS HOUSEHOLD INFORMATION Year Population Households Persons Per Household 2000 3,957 1,528 2.26 2010 4,445 1,911 2.05 2015 4,706 2,178 1.93 Source: U.S. Census, Metropolitan Council The 2000 and 2010 Census provides a demographic profile of the households in Oak Park Heights as illustrated in the following table.

The table utilizes information from the 2000 and 2010 Census as well as a projection for 2015 from the Metropolitan Council. In 2000, the labor force (ages 20-59) represented the largest age group, at 59.3 percent. In 2010, this age group was again the City's largest, accounting for 52.1 percent of the total population. By 2015, that age group had fallen to 49.9 percent of the population. At 24.2 percent in 2000, the next largest age group for that Census year was school age children under the age of 19. By 2010, this population group had fallen to 19.6 percent and 16.3 percent in 2015. Population growth over these 15 years has been in the retired persons category with the persons over 80 years old increasing from 4.0 percent in 2000, 12.3 percent in 2010, and 17.2 percent in 2015.

Issues Identification ISSUES IDENTIFICATION INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission and City Council have each discussed community issues as part of the planning process. The representation of these City leaders and officials has provided the insight and initial direction for the process. The community involvement will continue throughout the comprehensive planning process with public meetings at the end of each stage. Additionally, as an initial means of shaping the Comprehensive Plan, a Community Survey was developed to gain insight from residents of the community. This report provides a summary of the issues and directions which community officials and residents have identified. As such, it will be utilized in conjunction with the technical data compiled in the data collection process to formulate the policies as well as physical layout of the community. Throughout the issues identification process, it was realized that there is agreement on most of the issues but also differences in the philosophy and details of the approaches to be taken. An additional purpose of this report is therefore to highlight these matters so that they can be addressed as part of the planning process. PLANNING PROCESS The community-based information and directives summarized in this section serve to set the stage for completion of the Comprehensive Plan. Complementing the issues identification stage of the process will be the technical inventory of the community that is found in each of the subsections of the plan. This information will provide decision- makers with a basis from which problems and issues can be identified, objectives discussed and required changes made. The results of this effort will be goals and policies, as well as plans that are developed on a City-wide basis and for specific neighborhoods. It should be noted that the issues identification study is only an initial forum for community input into the planning process. As draft material is prepared, meetings will be held with the Planning Commission, which will be the primary group to hold public hearings and discussions on the plan. The Mayor, City Council, staff, general citizenry and business interests will also be provided ample opportunity for review and discussion through meetings and public hearings. While such involvement will be demanding, it is essential for completion of a Comprehensive Plan which is truly reflective of Oak Park Height's goals and objectives. A graphic at the end of this section illustrates the Comprehensive Plan Process. Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 13 ISSUES IDENTIFICATION COMMUNITY SURVEY As an initial means of shaping the Comprehensive Plan, a Community Survey was developed to gain insight from residents of the community. The Community Survey was made available on the City website and distributed at the Party in the Park event on June 8, 2017.

The mission statement and values will guide the preparation of the Comprehensive Plan and influence how the City will implement the policies and plans that result from this effort. MISSION STATEMENT The City shall strive to provide and promote a living environment with quality public services and facilities while protecting the community's cultural, historical and natural resources. VALUES • Vibrant and Diverse Culture: Our community thrives from being a welcoming and creative place that values and respects the opinions and contributions of all people. • Sustainability: We embrace public and private actions to preserve and enhance our natural and built environments for all generations. • Excellence and Quality in the Delivery of Services: We strive for excellence in providing quality community service while maintaining fiscal responsibility with public resources. • Economic Vitality: Our community experiences economic prosperity through diversity, interdependence and adaptability. • Community Character: We strive to preserve the higher quality of life, smallness and friendliness that this place offers. • Healthy Community: We flourish as a community by caring about our residents needs and supporting efforts to reach everyone's full potential. COMMUNITY GOALS The goals are designed to address and influence the quality of life through the physical environment. The goal statements have guided the preparation of the Comprehensive Plan and influence how the City will position itself in its actions and practices. The goals are not listed in a priority ranking; all are regarded as equally important statements for the City's direction. Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 21 MISSION STATEMENT, VALUES AND COMMUNITY GOALS • Actively involve and serve all our residents. Celebrate the diversity and the well- being of all residents. Respect individual rights, yet be guided by our concern for the common good. • Maintain and improve community health and vitality. The residents of the community must provide and maintain those resources, community facilities, accessibility and services essential for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of individuals. • Encourage continued but orderly and diverse growth and redevelopment in Oak Park Heights. To maintain a strong economic and social base for Oak Park Heights, development and redevelopment is viewed as positive. In that the amount of vacant, developable land is limited to primarily commercial properties, the focus of the City will be on infill of the remaining developable land and continued redevelopment and improvements to commercial and industrial properties. • Preserve Small Town Character. The features and amenities of this small town are regarded as the greatest community asset. Preserve small town character while accommodating redevelopment, renewal and revitalization. • Establish and maintain a desirable community image within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Oak Park Heights' reputation within the region is that of an established community with a range of housing options and an expanding commercial sector. The City will need to maintain its quality neighborhoods and commercial areas through continued redevelopment and investment. The City will need to ensure that development regulations are kept current, code enforcement is continued, and public improvements are of the highest quality. • Protect Oak Park Heights' Natural Resources. The St. Croix River, as well as the wetlands, ground water, surface water resources, and trees provide natural amenities and add significant aesthetic recreational and economic value to the community. Preserve and protect these resources by incorporating sustainable development principles into public and private projects. • Maintain and improve a safe, viable, orderly, productive and enhanced environment for all residents of the community. The community should provide for planned and orderly land use and a functional transportation system to serve and connect, but not disrupt, residential areas of the community. Moreover, the community should provide and properly maintain those resources, community facilities, and services essential for the protection of the health, safety and general Comprehensive Plan 2018 1 City of Oak Park Heights Page 22 MISSION STATEMENT, VALUES AND COMMUNITY GOALS welfare of individuals (schools, parks and trails) and necessary for the community (water, sewer, streets, city administration, police, and fire protection). • Plan for coordinated, orderly growth and limited extra-territorial expansion. Growth patterns in Oak Park Heights will include infill development, redevelopment, and potential outward growth beyond its current boundaries. Extra-territorial growth will only occur at the request of the property owner and agreement by the adjoining jurisdiction. A planned and orderly land use with a functional transportation system that accommodates all residents is desired to provide continuity and connections throughout the community. • Promote a responsible fiscal balance (revenue versus service costs) on an ongoing basis. The policies of the Comprehensive Plan are intended to outline the community's desires and set forth guidelines for how these desires are to be achieved. These issues must be continually assessed in terms of value compared to costs incurred by the City for implementation. Indicators of value include, but are not limited to, potential revenue, facility enhancement, and the common good of the Oak Park Heights community. Comprehensive Plan 2018 „ City of Oak Park Heights Page 23 m . S Land Use LAND USE - INTRODUCTION The basic intent of the comprehensive planning process is to provide a well-founded and coordinated decision-making framework to guide both public and private development and community improvements. In this regard, this represents the development framework to guide land use decisions for the City of Oak Park Heights. The Land Use section is based upon the physical profile information, as well as the community issues which have been identified in determining community goals and policies. The Land Use section assists policy makers in daily decision-making. Since the maps and plans in the Comprehensive Plan may be quickly outdated, reliance on a land use map for guidance on a specific issue may be difficult for decision-makers. However, the relative consistency of community goals and policies ties the land use activities together over the long term. The Land Use Plan is the basic plan for growth and development in the community. It establishes the general parameters, issues, and goals which are to be achieved. It further defines and establishes direction for the basic elements of the development regulations that will be updated after the planning process is completed. The arrangement of this section includes the Physical Profile of the City to include the Existing Land Use Map, Goals and Policies related to land use, and finally, the Land Use Plan. In sum, the Land Use Plan provides the foundation for guiding and managing land use expansion and redevelopment within Oak Park Heights. It determines directives and means for specific assignments and accomplishments. Additionally, it establishes the ground work and parameters for facilities planning. Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 25 LAND USE - PHYSICAL PROFILE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT FEATURES Topography The terrain in Oak Park Heights can be characterized as gently rolling in the west and increasing in slopes until a ridge of severe slope at the edge of the St.Croix River Valley. The least significant topographic changes occur in the western portions of the City. The most severe topography changes extend from the eastern portion of the State of Minnesota Correctional Facility grounds north to the Highway 36. This topography change is best described as a ridge separating the City's higher elevations from the lower elevations of the river valley. Soils The soils found in an area often determine the type and extent of urban development that can occur in the area. Factors such as soil strength, drainage and frost characteristics may serve to limit the amount and type of urban development that can be accommodated on the land. The United States Department of Agriculture completed a detailed survey of soils within Washington County,including the area of Oak Park Heights,in 1977. While it should be recognized that any large-scale mapping of soils results in an extremely generalized graphic statement,the information does serve to illustrate the relationship between soils and the areas available for development. Generally, the soils within Oak Park Heights belong to one of three soil associations. These categories are as follows: Santiago-Kingsley. This soil association is characterized by undulating to steep slopes, are well drained with a moderately coarse texture. Soils within this association are characterized as being good to fair for supporting urban development. Antigo-Chetek-Mahtomedi. Soils in this association are generally formed in outward areas with slopes ranging from nearly level to steep. These soils are typically well to excessively drained with a medium to coarse texture. These soils are generally well suited for supporting urban development. Antigo-Comstock. These soils are generally level to moderately sloping and are formed predominantly in underlying sandy outwash plains and glacial lake plains. The main limitation of this series for urban development is susceptibility to frost heaving and a high- water table in low lying areas. Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 26 LAND USE - PHYSICAL PROFILE A more detailed description of the soils found within Oak Park Heights, in terms of suitability for urban development, is provided on maps available at City Hall. Generally, the soils along the river bluffs and on the State of Minnesota Correctional Facility grounds on the southern area of the City are poor for urban development purposes. Of greater importance, the Department of Agriculture has classified most of the soils in the western portion of the City as moderate for urban development purposes. The limitations of these soils are related mostly to the slopes of the soil types found in this area. WETLANDS The City of Oak Park Heights contains wetlands which are generally widespread throughout the community as shown on the following Natural Environmental Features Map. Many of these wetlands are large and represent potential physical barriers to development and street connections. Most of these wetlands are in the western areas of the City. The largest of the wetlands in Oak Park Heights, Perro Pond, is in the southeastern portion of the City. This wetland is located almost entirely within the boundaries of the State of Minnesota Correctional Facility and Valley View Park. These wetlands serve an important function as ponding areas for excess storm water runoff. In addition, these areas are also valuable for flood water retention, ground water recharge, nutrient assimilation, wildlife habitat and aesthetics. In 1991 , the Wetlands Conservation Act was passed requiring the preservation of all wetland areas unless federal and state approvals are granted. The filling of designated wetlands requires that the wetland be mitigated at a 2:1 ratio, that is, for every acre of wetland removed, two acres would need to be replaced. VEGETATION Existing natural vegetation masses are found throughout Oak Park Heights. The largest areas of vegetative cover are in the western areas of the City and around the large wetland area which extends from the State of Minnesota Correctional Facility grounds through Valley View Park. 3, ti Comprehensive Plan 2018 a - City of Oak Park Heights Page 27 ei464.8.,, } LAND USE - PHYSICAL PROFILE FLOODPLAIN A small area on the extreme eastern portion of the City adjacent to the St. Croix River Valley has been designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as being within the 100-year floodway. Due to the bluffs leading up from the St. Croix River Valley, the remainder of the City is not affected by flooding during high water periods of the St. Croix River. Those areas within the 100-year floodway are identified on the Natural Environment Features Map. POLLUTION Pollution has generally not been an issue in Oak Park Heights. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency provides information on past pollution problems which have been reported. In addition to minor chemical leaks or spills, typically gasoline or oil associated with businesses, one significant site was identified. The Xcel Energy fly ash disposal site, which is south of Highway 36 and east of Osgood Avenue, was used to dispense of an ash by-product created at the Allen S. King power generating facility located adjacent to the St. Croix River. The site has been capped and is now Oak Park Crossing Park. The fly ash monitoring will continue under the management of Xcel Energy, but the park is under the management of the City. Another potential pollution issue is the Baytown Township groundwater contamination site which is the result of the disposal or spillage of trichloroethylene (TCE) in the area south of Highway 15 and west of Manning Avenue, and the use or spillage of carbon tetrachloride at a nearby grain storage facility. The site consists of an area of groundwater contamination that is more than six square miles and affects four major groundwater aquifers. Although there has been no issue for the City of Oak Park Heights' municipal water system, the City continues to monitor the spread of the contamination and will consider the pollution impact with any new well or well reconditioning. The area west of Osgood Avenue in the City is included in a Drinking Water Supply Management area as identified by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.

The most significant influences have been Highway 36 and the power line easement/lines from the Allen S. King power generating facility. Development patterns in Oak Park Heights and other jurisdictions have also influenced the east-west orientation of the community along Highway 36. The highways, in particular Highways 36, 15, and 95 functions as physical barriers, but also the primary connections for Oak Park Heights to the region. The highways have also significantly influenced the location of commercial development in the community. The easterly portion of the community is almost completely developed. In coming years, there will not be significant changes other than specific redevelopment in the commercial areas. To the west of Oakgreen Avenue, there are undeveloped commercial areas both for retail/office and business/warehouse uses. It is expected that these areas will be completely developed in the next five to ten years. Other than what is currently in development, there is no significant parcels of residential land available for development in the City. There is one potential area for limited annexation, south of Highway 36 to Manning Avenue. The City will not actively pursue annexation, but work with property owners and adjoining jurisdictions when an owner requests annexation to City services. The Existing Land Use Map, as found on the following page, graphically illustrates the distribution and variety of land use types in Oak Park Heights. The map was developed in July 2017.

The predominant land uses in the City include low density residential (14 percent), commercial (11 percent), and government(10 percent). The next largest land use category is industrial at 9 percent. A relatively small percentage (3 percent) is vacant property, only some of which is developable land. A detailed explanation of each land use category follows the existing land use table. 2017 OAK PARK HEIGHTS EXISTING LAND USE Category Acres Percent Percent by of Total Category Residential Land Uses Low Density 265 14% Medium Density 62 3% 21% High Density 80 4% Commercial and Industrial Commercial 212 11% 11% Highway Business/Warehouse 74 4% Industrial 170 9% 13% Other Land Uses School Facilities 128 7% 8% Quasi-Public/Utility 11 1% Government 192 10% 10% Park Facilities/Open Space 140 8% 8% Water 133 7% 7% Vacant 56 3% 3% Right-of-Way 349 19% 19% TOTAL 1,872 100% 100% Source:City of Oak Park Heights,Stantec RESIDENTIAL As shown in the previous table, residential land use occupies 21 percent of the total land area in the City. Low density family dwellings are scattered throughout the City. The City's original single-family homes are in the eastern portion of the City. More recent low- density development, however, has occurred in the western and central portions of the City. Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 34 LAND USE - PHYSICAL PROFILE Medium density residential development is located primarily in four locations. First, the development east of Osgood Avenue on Upper 56th 57th, and 58th Streets; second, on Oxboro Avenue; third, south of Highway 36, west of Oakgreen Avenue; and within the Boutwells Landing development. High density residential development is primarily located in six locations. First, in the northeast corner of the City on the St. Croix River, there is a large area of high density residential apartments. Second, there are two high density developments south of Highway 36 and east of Osgood Avenue, and finally, there are two locations north of Highway 36 on both sides of Osgood Avenue and east of Osgood Avenue on Paris Street North. Lastly, the Boutwells Landing development and the Oak Park Senior Living development contain high density buildings. COMMERCIAL Existing commercial development presently accounts for 11 percent of the City's total land use. Virtually all of the existing retail and service facilities are clustered along State Highway 36. While there is a small scattering of vacant commercial property, the majority of available land for commercial development is located just south of Highway 36 and Krueger Lane. INDUSTRIAL/BUSINESS WAREHOUSE Industrial/business warehouse land uses in Oak Park Heights total 244 acres or 13 percent of the total land area in the City. Virtually all of this acreage is attributed to the Xcel Power Plant located on the St. Croix River. Two smaller industrial areas or business warehousing/highway business areas are located on County Road 21 near the southern border of the City, and the Kern Center west of County Highway 15. There are no parcels available for future industrial development. The only area available for additional business warehouse development is in the Kern Center at 58th Street and County Highway 15. GOVERNMENTAL FACILITIES A significant amount of land within Oak Park Heights is devoted to governmental facilities which encompass 192 acres or 10 percent of the City's total land area. Governmental facilities include the St. Croix Valley Sewage Treatment Plant, the State of Minnesota Correctional Facility, City Hall, and the water tower site at Norell Avenue and 58th Street North. Comprehensive Plan 2018 J v p City of Oak Park Heights Page 35 LAND USE - PHYSICAL PROFILE SCHOOL FACILITIES Oak Park Heights is the home to the Stillwater Area High School. The campus is 128 acres or 7 percent of the total land area. PARKS/OPEN SPACE The City parks are separately classified in the Land Use Table. These areas encompass 140 acres or 8 percent of the City's total land area. VACANT/UNDEVELOPED The vacant/undeveloped land identified on the Existing Land Use Map and the Land Use Table includes that which has not been developed,permanent open space,or that which has been subdivided for development,but remains vacant. It totals 56 acres or 3 percent of the total land area in Oak Park Heights. The immediacy of the prospects for development on these parcels varies considerably and are closely tied to the current climate in the housing market,commercial development interest,and other variables. PHYSICAL BARRIERS Natural features such as lakes, streams, and wetlands,as well as constructed features such as highways,utility lines,or existing development,often act to contain land use and restrict access. From another perspective, many of the natural features such as lakes, wetlands, trees, or topography can be used to positively enhance a community and its housing and business areas. Physical barriers within Oak Park Heights include the river, wetland areas,Highways 36 and 95,County Highway 15,and the utility line connections. The impact of physical barriers may be seen as having both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side, barriers serve to define cohesive areas and to lend structure to the arrangement of land uses,often separating uses which would otherwise generate conflict. On the negative side, barriers may artificially constrain development, and in separating developed areas,produce problems of access and circulation between related land uses. The physical barriers within Oak Park Heights are seen primarily as restricting access from north to south or east to west within the City. These physical barriers can be overcome with improvements to the transportation system, both by car, pedestrian and bicycle. { Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 36 LAND USE - PHYSICAL PROFILE LAND USE CONTROLS Land uses within Oak Park Heights are presently governed by the City Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. Applications for development and associated plans are reviewed by City staff and submitted to the Planning Commission and City Council for review and approval. The table below indicates the breakdown of existing zoning districts and the acreages currently devoted to each within the City. Acreages for water and right-of-way have not been included. On a following page, the Zoning Map illustrates the arrangement of each zoning district in Oak Park Heights, showing only those districts currently within the City. 2017 OAK PARK HEIGHTS TOTAL ZONING BREAKDOWN Category Acres Percent Percent by of Total Category R-1 , Single Family Residential 236 15% R-1A, Single Family Residential 0 0% R-1 B, Single Family Residential 0 0% R-1 C, Single Family Residential 0 0% 25% R-2, Low and Medium Density Residential 71 5% R-3, Multiple Family Residential 50 3% R-B, Residential Business Transitional 29 2% B-1 , Neighborhood Business 0 0% B-2, General Business 161 11 % B-3, Highway Business and Warehouse 88 6% 22% B-4, Limited Business 71 5% B-W, Business/Warehousing 4 0% I-1 , Industrial 249 16% 16% 0, Open Space Conservation 392 26% 26% P-I, Public/Institutional 0 0% 0% PUD — Commercial 23 1 % 4% PUD - Residential 45 3% Parks 104 7% 7% TOTAL 1 ,526 100% 100% Source: City of Oak Park Heights, Stantec 1 Comprehensive Plan 2018 m City of Oak Park Heights Page 37 LAND USE - PHYSICAL PROFILE The following paragraphs summarize the districts of the Zoning Ordinance and how they are applied in the City.

LAND USE - GOALS AND POLICIES INTRODUCTION The value of a Comprehensive Plan for Oak Park Heights is only partially found in the plans, maps, and data. Although such information is a critical element of any plan, the changing nature of that information can give a community only a snapshot of its needs or direction. A more comprehensive review of the community and its direction can be found through its adopted goals and policies. The goals and policies do not provide information on the timelines and priorities needed for development or community improvements. Instead, it provides a series of criteria which can be used to direct general actions. Furthermore, the policies are not absolute directions for City staff, Planning Commission, or City Council members. Instead, they are guides to assist in decision-making and goal achievement. Moreover, the policies should be considered and utilized collectively. In some cases, a single policy may define and outline a course of action. More frequently, however, a group of policies will be applied to a given situation. The flexibility and adoptability of the goals and policies is particularly useful when unanticipated development decisions emerge. It complements the maps, ordinances and City Code which are more static documents. In some instances, policies may not address a new situation in the community. In this case, the goals and policies should be updated or modified. This would give the Comprehensive Plan an up-to-date quality which will withstand the test of time. For purposes of definition, goals may be described as the ways in which we think about the community — descriptive statements of the ultimate direction we would want to see the City proceed. Policies may be described generally as positions the City will take on a specific issue. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT Natural resources are of prime importance to the community. In addition to serving as aesthetic amenities which enhance the quality of life in the area, natural areas often perform important ecological roles. These natural features can serve as buffers or barriers in determining the extent and direction of development and growth. Therefore, it is necessary that special consideration be given to natural features and systems in formulating Oak Park Heights' Comprehensive Plan. Environmentally sensitive areas include those characterized by waterbodies, floodplain, steep slopes, vegetation, soil limitations, and wetlands. The City ,,,,,,I., Comprehensive Plan 2018 •,,- A City of Oak Park Heights Page 45 LAND USE - GOALS AND POLICIES has expressed an interest in the preservation and enhancement of these features within the City limits. WETLANDS, LAKES AND STREAMS AND GROUND WATER Goal: Preserving the water resources of the St. Croix River and existing wetlands and streams is recognized as a high priority in Oak Park Heights.

The Land Use Plan is a narrative and graphic description that provides the background and rationale for land use designations as represented on the Proposed Land Use Map. The plan has an educational and decision-making function, helping to improve the general understanding of how physical development in the City of Oak Park Heights should take place. Although the emphasis of this section is on land development, other areas such as transportation,community service and facility needs are also addressed. The Land Use Plan is divided into two main categories. The first section describes the basis for Oak Park Heights'community plan, including population projections as well as how the natural features of the area will be protected. The second section describes general land use plan elements, including a discussion of the Proposed Land Use Map and review of residential,commercial,industrial,and institutional development. BASIS OF THE COMMUNITY PLAN The major planning objective of Oak Park Heights is to establish and maintain attractive, high quality living and working environments for community residents. In providing for these environments,the City recognizes the necessity of providing utilities and services that are demanded with urban development. Through the comprehensive planning process, the City has the ability to direct and focus development in a pattern that maximizes the utilization of existing utilities and services. This type of land use management assists the community in regulating and budgeting for investment in future public utilities,streets,and service needs. With limited vacant land, it is likely that the City will be almost completely developed by 2025. Small parcels of residential property scattered throughout the community will be infilled with single family and townhome development. Commercial areas along Highways 36 and 15, west of Oakgreen Avenue, will also be completely filled in. Redevelopment activities will likely focus on commercial areas east of Oakgreen along the Highway 36 corridor. Based upon this premise, the focus of the land use, transportation, community facilities/administrative sections of this Comprehensive Plan will be on redevelopment, infill and maintenance of the community. " " Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 56 i LAND USE - LAND USE PLAN PROJECTED GROWTH Population and Households The City of Oak Park Heights has had steady population growth since 1980. The expanding residential and commercial sectors as well as the attractiveness of the community in its location in the St. Croix River Valley has resulted in a steady population growth. Household and population growth of the community from 1980 to 2015 is found in the following table. OAK PARK HEIGHTS HOUSEHOLD AND POPULATION GROWTH 1980 1990 2,000 2010 2016 Population 2,591 3,486 3,957 4,445 4,712 Households 955 1,322 1,528 1,911 2,199 Household Size 2.71 2.63 2.25 2.05 1.93 Source: U.S. Census, Metropolitan Council The numbers above reflect the national and state trends of smaller household size. With limited residential available, the expected population will continue to grow but at a much slower rate. Population, Household and Employment Projections The Metropolitan Council, in its Thrive MSP 2040 Plan, has projected population, household and employment forecasts. These forecasts are accepted by the City as the basis for growth through 2040, with the exception of the employment numbers, which the City projects will be less than what is provided by the Metropolitan Council. OAK PARK HEIGHTS POPULATION, HOUSEHOLDS AND EMPLOYMENT PROJECTIONS 2010 Census 2020 2030 2040 Population 4,445 4,880 5,300 5,700 Households 1,911 2,200 2,420 6,800 Employment 4,358 5,900 6,800 7,500 Source: U.S. Census, Metropolitan Council As indicated above, the Metropolitan Council projects that the population of the City will exceed 5,000 persons between 2020 and 2030. With recent senior housing developments, Oak Park Heights projects that the City will reach 5,000 persons before 2020. Once the City nears 5,500 to 5,700 people, the population will likely level off. With no additional residential land available, it is expected the City's population will likely Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights P Page 57 LAND USE - LAND USE PLAN stabilize between 5,500 and 5,700 people. The household projections show a steady increase to 2,600 by the year 2040. The increase in households versus the stable population levels is due to the ongoing trend of lower household size. The City will experience limited infill development which will increase the number of households but likely not to the extent projected by the Metropolitan Council. Employment numbers are also projected to increase to a total of 7,500 by 2030. This again may be optimistic with the limited land available for future commercial development. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND SUSTAINABILITY Environment A variety of benefits are associated with environmental protection in Oak Park Heights. Environmentally sensitive development will create a more aesthetic living and working environment and prevent future public investment needed for clean up or reclamation. The purpose of the City's environmental regulations and the Zoning Ordinance is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the community. The City has adopted floodplain and wetland and stormwater regulations to provide the levels of protection to preserve natural resources. Environmental awareness and protection should generally address the following in Oak Park Heights: 1 . Implement and update, as necessary, environmental regulations such as floodplain, wetland, stormwater, tree preservation regulations for the protection of rivers, natural features, lakes, wetlands, and trees. 2. Direct development throughout the City that is compatible with environmentally sensitive areas. 3. Address stormwater issues in all areas of the City through development and appropriate facilities to hold and treat runoff.

Utilize Best Management Practices for addressing stormwater runoff and retention. .:'.,:'-= -; , It Comprehensive Plan 2018 zIr City of Oak Park Heights Page ge 58 LAND USE - LAND USE PLAN 6. Encourage alternative energy sources such as solar and wind energy in appropriate areas of the City. 7. Extend utilities, as necessary, with annexation to address environmental issues associated with development outside of the City boundaries. Sustainability The City of Oak Park Heights has recognized the importance of the conservation and preservation of water,air,energy and other natural resources in order to achieve a more sustainable community. It is recognized that there are four areas in which the City can preserve natural resources and ensure that development recognizes the value of environmental protection. An effective implementation program includes the work of commissions, ordinance updates, permitting and other regulatory mechanisms; design guidelines and performance standards; public education and involvement; and intergovernmental cooperation. The following implementation items are to be pursed: 1. Implement sustainable development practices into the design, construction and operation of City facilities as feasible. 2. Work with developers to apply sustainable building practices in private sector development and redevelopment. Utilize utility-sponsored renewable energy and conservation programs where possible in development projects. 3. Continue to expand and promote the City sidewalk and trail system to encourage an alternate form of transportation not dependent upon motorized vehicle use. 4. Work with the Metropolitan Council on expanding the transit service to Oak Park Heights and the St Croix Valley area. 5. Work on the development of an environmental awareness program that is designed to educate and inform residents and developers on energy efficiency and utilization of renewable energy sources. 6. Develop a City policy on conservation of energy, to be used at all City facilities and by all employees that can be used as a model for the rest of the community. 7. Continue developing programs for recycling, reuse and composting as well as the education of citizens and businesses on waste reduction. a� Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 59 LAND USE - LAND USE PLAN 8. Work with the contracted waste hauler on alternatives to reducing the amount of material that will be land filled. Solar Access Protection and Alternative Energy Systems Ensuring that all properties have equal access to sunlight is a priority not only for potential solar energy systems, but for the protection of property and aesthetic values as well. Solar access protection is provided for by the uniform implementation of lot and building performance standards adopted as part of the Oak Park Heights Zoning Ordinance. Requirements such as maximum building height and yard setback standards have been implemented for creating separation between structures and allowing equal sunlight access such that a property is not in the shadow of an adjacent building. Additionally, the City adopted alternative energy system regulations in 2010 to promote and encourage ground source heat pump, wind and solar energy systems. The map on the following page indicates the gross solar potential for Oak Park Heights in watts per year. Note that the greatest solar potential is in those commercial area that have less tree cover. ANNEXATION The City's policy toward annexation is consistent with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. It is recognized, just as it was in 2008, that the City will not aggressively pursue areas of annexation from the Townships or because of detachment/annexation from one of the adjoining cities. As part of the planning process, the City has identified one area that potentially could become part of the City in the next 20 years. The property is identified in the Future Annexation Plan, found on a following page. The City would consider this area for annexation if petitioned by the property owners and if the affected jurisdiction was willing to detach the property. The area is at the intersection of Highway 36 and Manning Avenue. The property is recognized as having value for commercial development if utility and street infrastructure are extended by Oak Park Heights but paid for by the developers. `tea r Comprehensive Plan 2018 -2"-!

KING PLANT The Xcel Energy - Allen S. King Plant is a 511 mega-watt coal-fired facility that was constructed in 1968 along the St. Croix River on approximately 60 acres. The King Plant underwent a major retrofit in 2004 to reduce emissions. However, like many power plant facilities, the repair and maintenance become expensive for Xcel Energy compared to alternative investment in new technology and facilities to generate the same power at a lesser cost. This reality is also likely true for the King Plant as coal facilities are beginning to fall behind other opportunities for generating the same energy capacity. Representative of this is Xcel Energy's installation of over 1,200 Megawatts (three times the capacity of the King Plant)of wind facilities in the upper mid-west alone and over 3,330 megawatts nationwide; the advancement of solar energy with the rapid deployment of"solar gardens" around the State; and finally, a conversion of coal facilities to natural gas such as the Xcel's Sherco facility in Becker, Minnesota. Therefore, the City expects that the King Plant will close if the shift away from coal as an energy source continues. The timing of this closure may depend on a number of factors but is reasonable to predict that in the next twenty years the King Plant will be decommissioned. This closure would be a complex decision of both Xcel Energy and the Public Utility Commission as rates and energy demand will be closely monitored to ensure the utility grid remains stable. Why is this important to the City? Beyond the environmental discussions or base-load capacity elements, it is important to understand that when this power plant was originally constructed in Oak Park Heights, there was a commitment to the local community from Xcel Energy that there would be a significant tax benefit to its residents in exchange for having this facility in the community. While there have been annual fluctuations, this tax benefit remains. Currently, the City receives 33 percent of its annual property tax revenue from the King Plant or approximately 1.7 million dollars. If the King Plant closes and no longer remains a viable source of tax revenue, the City will have a significant gap in its ability to fund municipal services. Accordingly, the City, like many other communities that host power plants (being coal, nuclear or natural gas) must begin to contemplate about how it would respond when such closure happens. Comprehensive Plan 2018 r City of Oak Park Heights Page 65 LAND USE - LAND USE PLAN More specifically, what would happen to the Allen S. King Plant site? How or could the budget gap be addressed without a passage of such costs to others? Will the site have ongoing environmental issues? 1. At this time there are no clear answers to these questions, no plans or reuse contemplated for the current site along the St. Croix River, or how such a closure would unfold. 2. There are significant questions that the City and greater community must begin to consider as this closure will likely have a broad impact in the St. Croix River Valley. 3. The City plans to engage with Xcel Energy, community members, and State and local government partners to begin to explore the issues and opportunities that a potential closure of the King Plant will present. LAND USE COMPATIBILITY Land use compatibility concerns exist, primarily in the older sections of the community, within the Village area, in the area near the St. Croix Mall, and along 58th Street. High density residential or commercial development adjacent to single family neighborhoods can intensify unwanted activity in the area and impose impacts on parking, traffic and noise that may be uncharacteristic of single family neighborhoods. To respond to these land use compatibility concerns, the Comprehensive Plan establishes a policy of screening, landscaping and buffering commercial establishments near or within residential areas to minimize the impact on surrounding uses and enhance the neighborhood and community. The City, through its Comprehensive Plan, may determine that certain businesses should be relocated out of a neighborhood, or a collection of homes no longer functions as a neighborhood and the area would be better suited for higher intensity uses. Such redevelopment efforts are costly and, in most cases, may need to be accomplished with the assistance of the City or its Economic Development Authority. Additionally, the Comprehensive Plan calls for the proper transition between high and low density residential development. The City, through its plan and Zoning Ordinance, shall transition residential development so as not to create negative living environments. Concentration of one type of housing style or density can also create issues for the proper development of neighborhoods. Comprehensive Plan 2018 x City of Oak Park Heights Page 66 LAND USE - LAND USE PLAN HISTORIC PRESERVATION The City has identified two sites deemed historic within the physical profile section of the Land Use Plan. These sites, Phil's Tara Hideaway and the Stillwater Overlook have been recognized as historic in the community. The City will continue to work with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) on preservation and maintenance of the overlook on Lookout Trail North. Phil's Tara Hideaway is in use today as a restaurant and bar. The City will work with the property owners to ensure that the original log cabin look is preserved. Due to the limited number of historic structures and sites, the City does not anticipate the need for a preservation ordinance or establishment of a historic preservation commission. HOUSING Residential The Policy Plan promotes the development of a diversified housing stock which is affordable to a wide range of incomes. The plan also establishes guidelines to protect residential neighborhoods from encroachment or intrusion of incompatible, higher intensity uses through the use of buffers and appropriate land use transitions. For the most part, Oak Park Heights has followed a traditional residential growth pattern with growth emanating outward from the St. Croix River and Highway 36. As previously indicated, the community is almost completely built out in terms of residential development. The addition of housing units will be through small infill projects. The table on the following page indicates the total housing units from 1990 to 2016. The number of single family homes has increased from 1990 and 2016, but as a percentage of the total numbers of units, it has decreased from 47.3 percent to 34.4 percent in 2016. The number of multiple family units has increased significantly, and as a percentage of the total housing units has gone from 38.2 percent to 48.3 percent. This rise in multiple family units has resulted from the development of Boutwells Landing and Oak Park Senior Living that has provided needed housing in the area at all price ranges. 10,71,-,y „4,-;t,te Comprehensive Plan 2018 r_ City of Oak Park Heights Page 67 LAND USE - LAND USE PLAN OAK PARK HEIGHTS TOTAL HOUSING UNITS 1990 Percent 2000 Percent 2010 Percent 2016 Percent of Total of Total of Total of Total Single Family 663 47.3 790 49.8 805 38.1 802 34.4 Detached Townhomes Single 64 4.5 134 8.5 264 12.5 268 11.5 Family Detached Duplex, Triplex, 126 9.0 138 8.7 134 6.3 134 5.8 Quad Multiple Family (5 535 38.2 525 33.0 912 43.1 1,124 48.3 units or more) Other 10 1.0 - - - - - Total 1,398 100% 1,587 100% 2,115 100% 2,328 100% Source: U.S.Census,Metropolitan Council The table as follows indicates the owner occupied,renter occupied and vacant housing.

The housing plan encourages the development and maintenance of affordable and life cycle housing in the City of Oak Park Heights. Additionally, the plan establishes housing goals and policies that are to be implemented by specific programs, initiatives, and actions. Those initiatives are directed specifically to provisions of additional affordable units, housing demand and housing maintenance/rehabilitation. The issues of housing demand and maintenance are addressed below. Housing cost burden from 1990 to 2015, as reflected by numbers of households spending more than 30 percent of income on housing, is reflected below for homeowners and renters. As of 2015, there were eight publicly subsidized units in Oak Park Heights.

Half of households in a region earn more than the median and half earn less than the median. The Metropolitan Council uses these income levels as a way to assess affordability. For example, a housing unit is affordable if a household income is at or below 80 percent of AMI, then the persons of the household can live there without spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs. The table below indicates the current affordability levels.

The housing plan element of the local comprehensive plan is required to reflect the allocated portion of the forecasted demand for affordable housing. Oak Park Heights'share of this allocation is 74 affordable housing units. The table below indicates the affordable housing need allocation at or below 30 percent Area Median Income(AMI),from 31 percent to 50 percent AMI,and from 51 percent to 80 percent AMI. The City of Oak Park Heights remains committed to reaching this initiative. With the continued development of affordable senior housing, it is expected that this goal will be reached. OAK PARK HEIGHTS AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEED ALLOCATION At or Below 30 Percent AMI 33 From 31 Percent to 50 Percent AMI 11 From 51 Percent to 80 Percent AMI 30 Total Units 74 Note: AMI=Area Median Income Source: Metropolitan Council Housing Demand With ongoing commercial development and job growth in the St.Croix Valley,the demand for housing will remain strong. This demand will promote the infill development and possible redevelopment expected in the community. Much of the existing housing stock in Oak Park Heights is assessed at less than the market value of new housing in the area. As a result, the community provides a wide range of rental and ownership options for affordable housing. Newer residential construction over the past decade has been moderate to higher value housing resulting in a community with a wide range of housing options. The City of Oak Park Heights has a role in development of a housing program for the community. The City's basic roles of providing adequate/appropriately zoned land and services is critical. The City must also be supportive of the Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority(HRA)and its housing programs and funding sources to bring about new construction,redevelopment,and rehabilitation where it will do the most good to improve existing neighborhoods. Redevelopment of substandard properties, Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 73 LAND USE - LAND USE PLAN creation of lots for affordable housing or working with local financial institutions on programs for first time homebuyers are continuing programs for the Washington County HRA with the City's support. Housing Maintenance/Rehabilitation Generally, Oak Park Height's housing stock appears to be in good condition, but there are areas in the community where some homes show signs of deterioration. Additionally, problems have been noted with regard to unsightly appearance and outdoor storage on some residential lots in the City. To insure quality neighborhoods and to maintain property values, the City continues to take steps to improve residential areas exhibiting signs of neglect. The City should consider the formulation and enforcement of housing and ground maintenance regulations with specific attention to building conditions, outdoor storage, and accessory uses. Effective enforcement of these regulations is necessary and an ongoing responsibility of the City. The community has been and continues to be supportive of rehabilitation programs for existing dwelling units. Rehabilitation programs have been available through the Washington County HRA. The City should continue to promote these programs, consider establishing a local revolving fund for rehabilitation loans emphasizing low interest loans to qualifying households, and to continue enforcement of existing codes and regulations related to home and site maintenance and upkeep. PROPOSED LAND USE MAP The City of Oak Park Heights is designated as a "Suburban" in the Thrive MSP 2040 regional planning document adopted by the Metropolitan Council in 2014. Under that classification, the overall density expectation is five units per acre. Previously, the City had been designated as a "Developing Community" as part of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update. The Proposed Land Use Map on a following page illustrates the 2040 land use for areas within the current boundaries of the City. The map does not vary significantly from the Existing Land Use Map in that the City is almost completely developed. PROJECTED LAND USE ACREAGE AND RESIDENTIAL DENSITY Based upon the Proposed Land Use Map, the City has calculated the projected acreage of land use from 2017 to 2040 in five-year increments. The existing vacant, undeveloped land area in the City as of 2017 is 56 acres. Most of the projected development is Comprehensive Plan 2018 44434-4,-0 ,--- Cit of Oak Park Heights Page 74 LAND USE - LAND USE PLAN expected for commercial, highway business, low density residential, medium density residential, and high density residential land uses. It is projected that this development will occur prior to 2025. The table as follows provides the projected land use by category. As of 2017, there were 265 acres of low density residential, 62 acres of medium density residential, and 80 acres of high density residential land use. These acreages include only the land area devoted strictly to that use. All of the areas of waterbodies, wetlands, parks and open space, right-of-way, and other undeveloped land has been removed from these totals. The resulting density in 2017 for each of these land use is as follows: the low density residential density is 1-3 units per acre; the medium density residential density is 4-8 units per acre; and the high density residential density is 8-12 units per acre.

The transportation system encompasses several users such as automobiles, pedestrians, bicycles, mass transit and trucks. The transportation system serves to tie together, and in some cases separate, the various land use activities in the community. The Transportation Plan will present the basis for programming and planning the extension of the community transportation system and undeveloped areas of the City and surrounding areas. The effect of growth and expansion of the community on the existing roadway systems, especially those limited by existing rail, highway, or river crossings, is also part of the Transportation Plan. Development of all alternative or additional routes in existing and developing areas will also serve to lessen the impacts on the existing systems. An integral part of the Transportation Plan will be the Comprehensive Park and Trail System Plan. The plan was last updated in 2008. The Comprehensive Plan includes a section entitled Park and Trail Plan that will update the 2008 plan.�Ci Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 78 TRANSPORTATION - PHYSICAL PROFILE ROADWAY AND HIGHWAY NETWORK The City of Oak Park Heights is connected to and contains a number of transportation modes, all of which contribute to the movement of goods and people throughout the City and region. The significance of these existing and developing networks in terms of economic, social and recreational considerations makes them a central concern for comprehensive planning. The map on the following page indicates the existing network of Township, County, and State highways as they relate to the City of Oak Park Heights. FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION The functional classification system for the City's streets and highways is based on the usage of the roadways. The map on a following page indicates the existing functional classification of the various roadways within the City. A description of the functional classification system and identification of the roadways under each of the categories is as follows. The Transportation Plan Map, found in a later section of this chapter, identifies the future functional classification of roadways. Principal Arterials Principal arterials include all interstate freeways and other roadways which connect the region with other areas in the state and other states. The emphasis of a principal arterial is on mobility as opposed to local access. They connect with other principal arterials and select minor arterials and collectors. Spacing of principal arterials will vary from two to three miles in a fully developed area. The principal arterial in the City is Highway 36, which currently has four lanes for traffic flow in each direction with signalized left-hand turn lanes at all intersections through the community. Highway 36 is connected to State Highway 64 in Wisconsin via the St. Croix River Crossing that opened in August of 2017. Minor Arterials Minor arterials connect the urban service area to cities and towns inside and outside the region. They also provide supplementary connections between metro cities and regional business concentrations. The emphasis of minor arterials is on mobility as opposed to access in the urban areas. Minor arterials should connect to principal arterials, other minor arterials, and collectors. The spacing of minor arterials in the metro centers and regional business concentrations will vary from one-fourth to three-fourths mile. The Functional Classification map on a following page shows the minor arterials in the City.

Mobility and land access are equally important but direct land use should predominantly be to development concentrations. Collectors typically serve short trips of one to four miles. Spacing in the metro centers and regional business concentrations may vary between one-eighth to one-half mile. Collectors are divided into two categories: major and minor. The Functional Classification map on a following page shows the major and minor collectors in the City. Local Streets All other roadways that do not fall into the functional classifications discussed above are designated as local roadways. These streets are primarily designed to provide property access. TRAFFIC VOLUMES The growth of the population within the St. Croix Valley and the opening of the St. Croix River crossing in Oak Park Heights is indicated in the traffic volumes map on the following page. Average daily traffic (ADT) volumes for the years 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are shown. On the major roadways, the ADT volumes have been increasing. With the opening of the St. Croix River Crossing traffic volumes are expected to increase along the Highway 36 corridor. The 2016 volume reflects a range of 26,500 ADT to 38,000 ADT on the highway corridor through the City. The projected 2030 traffic volume on Highway 36 is expected to reach 55,000 ADT in that area between Oakgreen and Osgood Avenues. IMPROVEMENT PLANS — COUNTY The Washington County Highway Department has developed a Five-Year Transportation Capital Improvement Plan for the years 2017 and 2021. One Washington County roadway, CSAH 24 (Osgood Avenue) is programmed for intersection, safety, capacity, and pedestrian/bicycle improvements in 2018. Although not in Oak Park Heights, Washington County has programed in 2021 the Highway 36 and CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue interchange study to provide an overpass at this location. Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights4 Page 84 t , TRANSPORTATION - PHYSICAL PROFILE IMPROVEMENT PLANS — STATE With the completion of the St. Croix River Crossing and the Highway 36 improvements in 2017, there are no other planned State projects in or near Oak Park Heights included within the Long-Range Highway Capital Projects 2015-2024 of the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan. The Highway 36 intersections at Norell Avenue and the south west frontage road access at Osgood Avenues will need to be improved and made safer in the very near future. With increasing traffic levels, the intersections will become even more substandard and dangerous. The City sees this as a transportation priority for the community. STREET RECONSTRUCTION/MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Since 1983, the City has planned and accomplished many sections of street reconstruction. In 2014, the City developed a street reconstruction plan through 2036 as represented in the map on the following page. Additionally, the City has done budget planning to ensure adequate funds are reserved to accomplish the plan. The City has also developed a maintenance plan for the ongoing mill and overlay of streets. As with the reconstruction project, budget planning has been done to provide funding for the maintenance program. RAIL FACILITIES Oak Park Heights contains one railroad line, which is utilized by Union Pacific. This line serves the Allen S. King Power Plant. North of Oak Park Heights, this line turns into the Minnesota Transportation Museum Line, which previously was utilized by the Minnesota Zephyr and offered short trip dining rides along the St. Croix River. There was a rail-water intermodal facility at the Allen S. King Plant. Intermodal facilities function as a transfer point between road to ports or rail terminals. This facility was used for coal deliveries to the power plant but was removed as part of the St Croix River Crossing project. There are no other rail, barge and truck or intermodal freight terminals in the City. There are no light rail corridors identified in the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan that would access Oak Park Heights and the immediate area.

Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport serves as the region's major airport by providing residents with access to national and international markets. Three smaller airports and runways are located throughout the region. The St. Paul Downtown Airport (Holman Field) is a major corporate flight facility in the east metro area. The Lake Elmo Airport is owned and operated by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), and the Forest Lake Airport is a municipal airport. These three facilities relieve the major airport by accommodating corporate and small aircraft as well as the recreational air transportation needs of area residents. The City is not within the airport influence area of any of these airports. The City of Oak Park Heights has taken the necessary steps to protect navigable air space. All municipalities must protect air space from potential electric interference and obstacles to air navigation. The Zoning Ordinance limits heights of structures within the City to less than 45 feet. TRANSIT SERVICE Oak Park Heights is served by Metro Transit. As shown on the following map, Metro Transit provides an express route (294) that serves Downtown St. Paul, Maplewood, 3M, Oakdale, Imation, Lake Elmo, Stillwater, and Oak Park Heights. The bus runs at rush hours during the weekdays from 5:30 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM with a frequency of less than 30 minutes between trips. The route has stops in Oak Park Heights on Osgood Avenue and County Road 15. There is one park and ride location in the area at the St. Croix Valley Recreation Center which is located in Stillwater on Market Drive, between Orleans Street and Curve Crest Boulevard. Washington County Transit Link Service is a dial up service which is available within Oak Park Heights. The service is provided by the Metropolitan Council and is available Monday through Friday between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM. The City is also served by Metro Mobility/ADA service which provides rides for those persons needing additional assistance. Riders must be certified in advance to qualify for ADA service.

Comprehensive Plan 2018 ' 4 '''4 City of Oak Park Heights Page 94 d A 1 !P TRANSPORTATION PLAN INTRODUCTION Based upon the information established by the Physical Profile and the foundation provided by the Goals and Policies, this section provides the framework for a Transportation Plan. A functional classification system is established for roadways, guidelines for access management outline are provided, and the capital improvement program is highlighted. The other transportation routes are also discussed,but trails and sidewalks are addressed in a separate heading with parks as found in a following chapter of the plan. FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM/TRANSPORTATION PLAN The functional classification system for the City's streets and highways is illustrated by the criteria developed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT). The Transportation Plan Map,found on the following page, illustrates the functional classes for those roadways within Oak Park Heights. The functional classification system is based on anticipated usage for five to ten years in the future. This classification of roadways for Oak Park Heights will be used to determine access points on major roadways and the design relationship of local roads to other township, community, and state highways. The Transportation Plan incorporates the information from the Existing Functional Classification Map and identifies roadway improvements and extensions discussed as part of the planning process. The transit facilities and plans are also featured on the map. The functional classification system for roadways,as identified within the Physical Profile section for Oak Park Heights,is further defined through the access management systems table on a following page. ACCESS MANAGEMENT In an effort to maintain effective traffic flow and safety,while accommodating the access needs of land development,access management techniques are utilized. For Oak Park Heights,access to adjacent roadways is overseen by three primary jurisdictions: Mn/DOT along the State highways,Washington County along County roads,and Oak Park Heights along local streets. r Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 95 .• • I ,... , .

The land use categories apply to existing and future development in Oak Park Heights. The term rural should be applied to those roadway segments not planned for immediate urbanization, including agricultural or sparsely developed areas. Urban refers to those areas that are commonly urbanized or planned for development in the short term, including most suburban-type development. The urban use should be applied to the area of the City that is fully developed. The access guidelines should be used for all plat and site plan reviews. In that these guidelines are used as part of a plan and not an ordinance, reasonable discretion could be applied to each site. Washington County and Mn/DOT will give approvals for access to all of the roadways under their respective jurisdictions. WASHINGTON COUNTY ACCESS SPACING GUIDELINES Type of Access Principal Minor Arterial Collector Local Arterial >7,500 ADT <7,500 ADT Private residential driveways No direct No direct (1) (1) (1) access access Commercial driveways or non- No direct No direct Ye mile Ye mile (1) continuous commercial streets access access Non-continuous residential No direct ''/mile with no Ye mile '/e mile (1) streets access median opening Continuous local streets 'A mile ''/mile 'A mile 'Yee mile Ye mile and collector streets Minor arterials 'A mile Y mile %mile Ye mile /mile (1) Determination based on other criteria(sight distance,speed,traffic volume,etc.) Notes: • Traffic volumes refer to 20 year forecasts. • Distances shown are minimums. • "Non-continuous"streets refer to cul-de-sacs or short length streets(less than'/mile)which do not cross the County highway in question. • The type of traffic control,turn lanes and bypass lanes required will be determined based upon the projected traffic volumes on the type of access requested. • County reserves the right to increase the minimums based on other criteria(sight distance,speed,traffic volume,etc.).

The Metropolitan Council has provided the City a TAZ map with the zones indicated. The boundaries of these zones extend beyond the City limits and into adjacent jurisdictions. A map of the zones is found on the following page. The allocation of population, household and employment numbers and forecasts for the years 2010, 2020, 2030, and 2040 is found below: ALLOCATION OF FORECASTS TO TRAFFIC ANALYSIS ZONES (TAZ) 2010 2020 2030 2040 TAZ Pop HH Emp Pop HH Emp Pop , HH , Emp Pop HH Emp 2372 345 150 0 350 150 0 375 160 0 400 175 0 2373 400 175 450 450 200 500 475 215 525 500 225 650 2374 200 80 200 200 80 450 225 90 500 250 100 550 2377 1 ,500 600 1 ,558 1 ,730 825 2,150 1 ,850 955 2,250 2,000 1 ,000 2,450 2379 1 ,000 450 1 ,100 1 ,050 475 1 ,150 1 ,200 520 1 ,875 1 ,300 580 2,000 2380 700 326 300 800 330 350 875 340 400 950 380 450 2382 300 130 500 300 140 600 300 140 650 300 140 700 2355 0 0 250 0 0 400 0 0 600 0 0 700 Total 4,445 1 ,911 4,358 4,880 2,200 5,900 5,300 2,420 6,800 5,700 2,600 7,500 Source: Metropolitan Council Pop = Population Forecasts HH = Households Forecasts Emp = Employment Forecasts TRAFFIC VOLUMES/PROJECTIONS As indicated in the Physical Profile section, the traffic volumes on Highway 36 are projected to almost double by 2030. It is anticipated that the St. Croix River Crossing and Highway 36 will have a dramatic impact on the residents of Oak Park Heights in that the community is separated by this roadway. While the bridge has been open for a few months, there is a perception that the traffic at Norell Avenue, Oakgreen Avenue and Osgood Avenue has increased. Currently, the only projection for the increase in traffic was found in the EIS for the bridge project. The City will continue to work with Mn/DOT and with Washington County on issues related to frontage roads and critical Highway 36 intersections within the City. The at-grade crossings at Norell Avenue, and the south frontage road of Osgood Avenue will need to be monitored and improved to ensure adequate traffic flow levels and to assure the safety of drivers and pedestrians at these locations.

If the annexation occurs, the City would consider the extension of 58th Street to Manning to complete this east/west corridor. The extension would also include bicycle and pedestrian trails to Manning. Acquisition of right-of-way as part of development within the existing City limits at will be necessary for future completion of this corridor. STREET RECONSTRUCTION/MAINTENANCE PROGRAM One of the transportation policies indicates a continuation of the street reconstruction and mill and overlay programs to maintain the local utility and street network. The City Council and City staff will need to continue to monitor the condition of the City streets. The City has created a timeline to complete the necessary sections of the network and has a program to set aside funds to implement this expensive rehabilitation program. RAIL FACILITIES The City of Oak Park Heights will work with representatives of Union Pacific on any rail transportation issues that. arise. It is expected that the Allen S. King Plant will continue to receive all the coal shipments via this rail line. The 2040 Transportation Plan does not indicate any light rail corridors that would access Oak Park Heights or neighboring communities in the St. Croix Valley. AIRPORTS There is no impact to Oak Park Heights resulting from the Lake Elmo Airport and the City is not within the airport influence area. The City regulates building and structure height as it relates to navigable air space. Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 102 TRANSPORTATION PLAN BUS / TRANSIT SERVICE One of the issues often raised by officials and residents is the lack of mass transit options for people in Oak Park Heights and the St. Croix Valley. The commuter service is only available on weekends but Metro Mobility/ADA provides weekend service. The 2040 Transportation Policy Plan does not call for any significant changes to the level of service to Oak Park Heights. The City will continue to work with Metro Transit officials on continuing and expanding the fixed route transit service for Oak Park Heights to both St. Paul and Minneapolis. Additionally, the City continues to support the local transit service provided by Washington County Transit Link Service and Metro Mobility/ADA. This service is especially important for elderly residents and those that are less independently mobile. Expansion of this service may be necessary as the population of the St. Croix Valley grows older and less mobile. The Transportation Plan on a previous page includes the transit plans included in the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan. PEDESTRIAN / BICYCLE FACILITIES The pedestrian and bicycle plan for the City is found in a separate section of this Comprehensive Plan document. Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 103 r Community Facilities COMMUNITY FACILITIES - PHYSICAL PROFILE INTRODUCTION Community facilities include those lands, buildings, or services and systems which are provided on a public or semi-public basis in the interest of or the benefit to the residents of the community. Their importance should not be under-estimated in that they are offered as a necessity for sustaining life within the community and are therefore, a major contributor to the quality and safety of living in the City. To enhance the quality of life within Oak Park Heights, it is fundamental that adequate community facilities include parks, open space, administrative offices, essential community buildings and public utilities. Public utilities are an important factor in regulating development of particular areas of the City and areas planned for future annexation. Fair and equitable assessment policies for landowners and developers are also a necessary element of utility extension. Government buildings and facilities, such as parks and trails, play a major role in providing necessary community amenities and in projecting a positive image for the City. These facilities reflect Oak Park Heights' commitment and dedication to provide its residents with a quality living environment.

The contract with the Bayport Fire Department has served the community well and will be continued into the future. The City will need to continue to monitor its needs for fire and ambulance service, especially as the elderly population of the community grows. The new Bayport Fire Department facility, completed in 2016, will also serve the member communities well for years to come. Additional study will be necessary to determine if the Bayport Fire Department could serve the development of the annexation area to the west of the City. If an annexation proposal is presented to the City, a study would be necessary. PARKS AND TRAILS The Parks and Trails chapter of the Comprehensive Plan provides a summary of the background, policies and plans. A separate Parks and Trails Plan will be completed as a separate document to the Comprehensive Plan.

Comprehensive Plan 2018 ' - dSy City of Oak Park Heights Page 113 ta OAK PARK HEIGHTS CITY HAL , ;:a Administration ADMINISTRATION - INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Administration and implementation of the Comprehensive Plan are an important aspect of the development of the plan. In essence, unless the plan and related development tools are constantly referenced and utilized in combination with long range community decision-making, the efforts spent on their development become waste. The administrative function of the City is to provide an efficient level of public service, assure that there is an adequate tax base and funding sources, and provide current and effective plans, programs, codes and ordinances. The City must provide a high level and quality of services while not placing an undue tax burden on property owners. Additionally, elected and appointed officials must be able to communicate with citizens and facilitate the level of public participation and input to provide an effective system of government. Staffing, community identity, public relations, zoning and subdivision regulations, capital improvement planning, and economic development are issues that must be addressed as a result of the comprehensive planning process. The issues listed below are seen as the most critical element of an administrative planning program and should receive priority in implementation. Annexation and jurisdictional issues must also be discussed as it relates to cooperation with the Cities of Lake Elmo and Bayport, and with Baytown and Stillwater Townships.

The City must provide a high level and quality of services while not placing an undue tax burden on property owners. Additionally, elected and appointed officials and staff must be able to communicate with citizens and facilitate the level of public participation and input to provide an effective system of government. The Mayor and four Council members comprise the governing body for the City. They are elected on an at-large basis and serve a four year term. The City Council meetings are held in the Council Chambers of City Hall the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. Day-to-day operations of the City are the responsibility of the City Administrator and staff. STAFFING As the City continues to grow, staffing levels will need to be evaluated. The City will need to monitor staffing levels carefully and make adjustments as necessary. COMMUNITY IDENTITY Community identity has been identified as a significant issue for the City of Oak Park Heights. Stillwater, being the larger community with its historic downtown, is seen as the only city in the area. City of Oak Park Heights continues with its efforts to promote recognition and identification. Use of the City name and logos on water towers and other public structures has helped the City to be recognized as another jurisdiction. Construction of welcome signs at the primary entrances to the community is one way of further promoting recognition. Continued use of the area newspapers, cable TV, the City website, and the City newsletter are all ways to assist in promoting and identifying Oak Park Heights in the St. Croix Valley. Promotion of the City parks, and its lineal trail system that will provide access to other adjacent cities' trail systems and the regional trail system, is seen as a significant way of introducing people to Oak Park Heights. The City will continue to work on ways to promote the community, its residential neighborhoods, and its business and industrial sites through the use of the media and internet. 4 Comprehensive Plan 2018 I- v City of Oak Park Heights Page 119 ADMINISTRATION PLAN PUBLIC RELATIONS Oak Park Heights has an ongoing policy of providing effective public education regarding City activities. Such programs have numerous benefits, including greater public accountability and an increased awareness of City functions. Additionally, good communication with the other municipalities, area townships, the County and regional levels of government will be vital in this growing, diverse metropolitan area. To continue and improve the lines of communication between the City government and its citizens, Oak Park Heights should continue to use announcements, newspapers, and other forms of public media such as the internet and cable access. Public support on projects or expansion will only be possible if the public is informed of various area plans and an open forum of opinions and comments is coordinated. The City will also continue to develop and enhance its relationship with other jurisdictions in the area and region. The City will work with the Cities of Bayport, Stillwater, Lake Elmo and other jurisdictions to continue promoting joint provision of services and coordination of activities. The quality of life of the overall area can only be enhanced if all the governments and public/private organizations work together to promote and develop the metropolitan area. ZONING AND SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS Obviously, a community's plans, programs, codes and ordinances are of value only if they are implemented and kept current. When such plans and ordinances become outdated, the City's ability to respond to community goals is hampered. To ensure that such plans are kept up to date, the City should regularly update its plans and codes as necessary. The City has consistently kept its zoning and subdivision regulations current with the changing face of the community. In 1995, the City completed a major update of its Zoning Ordinance. There are a number of areas within the ordinance that could be reviewed and updated after the completion of the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the City will re- examine the Design Guidelines and update the standards to encourage more variety in building styles and architecture. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING The City of Oak Park Heights has an effective system of capital improvement planning that is scheduled or updated on a yearly basis. The Capital Improvement Plan is essentially a long-range spending plan used to guide the community's expenditures Vtttf' Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 120 ADMINISTRATION PLAN according to need and the community's ability to pay. The program forces the City to look toward the future to anticipate its needs before it becomes evident. In order to fund such items as physical improvement or extensions of roadway and utilities to the City, the Capital Improvements Plan can be used as a planning tool. The City will update the Five- Year Capital Improvement Program in 2018 that will be attached as an appendix to this Comprehensive Plan. 4> `' Comprehensive Plan 2018 • y4.440.frCity of Oak Park Heights Page 121 V.y . \6 / � y �.y § ee . � y > .

The 2018 Comprehensive Plan acknowledges that the community is almost completely developed and anticipates that there will be little, if any, expansion of the City limits in coming years. The population growth and number of households is expected to grow slightly, to over 5,000 persons, and remain stable. It is expected that the City's population will continue to age, especially with the large numbers of elderly housing units. In 2000, 12.8 percent of the city's population was 65 years and over, by 2010 that climbed to 23.0 percent and in 2015 it was 30.7 percent. In recognition of the demographics of the community, especially the aging of the population, this plan seeks to provide opportunities for recreation for all ages. The 2017 Community Survey asked residents about the current park and trail system and they stated that it was one of their favorite aspects of living in Oak Park Heights. Respondents had the following opinion regarding the condition of City parks and trails: 1. Excellent— 23.2 percent 2. Above Average — 56.9 percent 3. Average — 16.2 percent Respondents utilization of a City Park or trail is as follows: 1. Every day— 17.0 percent 2. A few times per week— 37.8 percent 3. On occasion — 26.8 percent The City recognizes that the community is almost completely built out and new park land will not be created as a result of land subdivision. The continuing emphasis in coming years will be on improvements within the existing parks, trail connections within the community, and addressing the park and recreation needs of an aging population. 410., t Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 122 PARKS AND TRAILS - PHYSICAL PROFILE EXISTING PARKS AND TRAILS The Oak Park Heights park system offers numerous City parks distributed throughout the City and a trail system that nearly connects all parts of the community. The park facilities offer a full range of recreational activities. A list of the existing parks is as follows. A map of the existing park and trail locations is found on a following page. The City of Oak Park Heights contains six established parks. The parks vary in size, location, and service. Parks play an important role, not only in their overall recreational benefit to the residents of Oak Park Heights but as a crucial destination point directly related to the establishment of trails. All are interrelated and each portion from the park land itself, all the way down to a single picnic table or foot of trail, plays an important role in completing a recreational link, therefore adding to the comprehensive system. Valley View Park is the largest park within the City and is intended as a City-wide passive park for hikers, picnics and nature. It is viewed by the City as a very unique and positive amenity in the community given its dense vegetation, variation in topography, wetlands, and array of existing and potential uses. The park is an important link between the east portion of the City and Osgood Avenue (via its entrance drive, and/or through Brekke Heights or Valley View Estates residential subdivisions). Adjacent to the Valley View Park is Oak Park Crossings Park. Brekke Park is a high quality, intensively utilized City park intended as an active area for field games and a playground area for toddler age and older. It is located adjacent to State of Minnesota land controlled by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and serves as a community playfield for residents in the south-central portion of the City, primarily between Osgood and Oakgreen Avenues. The City will continue to work with the DNR to allow utilization of the property for open space, limited recreation and trails. In 2007, the City purchased the property at 5502 Osgood Avenue, adjacent to Brekke Park and created a disc golf course. Swager Park serves as a neighborhood playground along the linear park system. The park is fairly centralized within the community and is located within an Xcel Energy easement. A trail has been constructed within the easement from just east of Swager Park, through the City to Highway 5. Cover Park is the oldest and smallest park in the City and provides an active area for residents in the Village of Oak Park Heights neighborhoods who are otherwise somewhat segregated from the north and western portions of the City. A year-round park building, and parking lot was added in 2017. Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 123 PARKS AND TRAILS - PHYSICAL PROFILE Autumn Hills Park and Haase Recreational Area serves as a neighborhood park and is surrounded by the Boutwells Landing senior community. The park serves as a focal point for residents from all areas of the City with the large play equipment area and a park shelter with restrooms. The recreational area features trails, utilities and natural areas adjacent to the Autumn Hills neighborhood and the Environment Living Center of the Stillwater Area High School. Oak Park Crossing Park is the City's newest park. It has a playground, park shelter, walking trails,and prairie grass plantings. It was developed on the former Allan S King ask disposal facility and is adjacent to Valley View Park. On the following page is a list of the existing park components for each of the six City parks. Trail connections have been constructed over the past two decades to provide important linkages between neighborhoods, commercial areas, and parks. In 1995, when the Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail System Plan was completed,the only trail routes available were a few sidewalks located in the area adjacent to the City of Stillwater and limited trail connections to existing parks. In the last 23 years,the City has developed an off-and on-street trail system that enables the pedestrian or bicyclist to move safely throughout the City. There are many linkages and crossings that must still be addressed. Currently, the trail system in Oak Park Heights includes 10.5 miles of municipal separated,off-street trails;4.0 miles of municipal on-street trail routes;5.8 miles of State trails;and.3 miles of private trails. The City will continue to focus on making linkages, especially with development and redevelopment projects. North/south connections, especially along Oakgreen and Osgood Avenues,as well as crosswalks on or under these roadways,will continue to be a priority. The Existing Parks and Trails Map on a following page indicates the system current as of 2018.

SWAGER PARK • Consider the park as a linear park segment within the trail system, rather than a destination. • Include exercise equipment along trail system • Provide benches,picnic tables within the park as needed. • Work with Xcel on planting prairie grass in that area north of City Hall. • Install a community garden area. • Replacement of fence as needed along the south boundary of park with neighborhood involvement. • Add water service with water fountain and hydrant. • The City shall take park land dedication for potential redevelopment area north of Swager Park. Comprehensive Plan 2018 • r City of Oak Park Heights Page 129 PARKS AND TRAILS - ISSUES COVER PARK • Monitor maintenance and improvements to new park shelter including installing gutters. • Maintain/improve perennial planting slope. AUTUMN HILLS PARK AND HAASE RECREATIONAL AREA • Monitor condition of playground equipment and replace as necessary. • Monitor condition of picnic tables and benches and replace as necessary. • Provide additional tree plantings within the park and replace ash trees. • Provide no smoking signs by playground. • Add bike racks near the park shelter. • Provide connections to the Boutwells Historic Village area to the south of the park and explore programs and cross-utilization of both facilities. GENERAL TRAIL ISSUES • Restore prairie areas where possible along the trail system. • Construct educational environmental kiosks and signs at Valley View Park, by City Hall, at Oak Park Crossing Park, at Autumn Hills Park, and in other appropriate locations along the east/west trail corridor. • Provide benches, resting areas, picnic tables, water fountains, and exercise courses along trails. • Complete the striping of the southern edge of the Andersen Office Building parking lot with a trail lane and stripe a crosswalk over Osgood with signage between Osgood and Valley View Park. • Improve trail signage where necessary to (1 ) denote the type of trail; (2) to give direction as to where they lead; and (3) to warn vehicles of trail crossings, on-street routes, etc. for safety purposes. • Look at options and locations for lighting of trail corridors. • Assure that all new trail construction is disability accessible. • The size of trails involves two factors: width and length. The minimum recommended width for multi-use trails is eight feet, although it is beneficial in many situations to provide increased width depending upon the use and location. The length of trails should be varied to provide choices for users. • Explore options for signage and street marking for on street trails. • The location of trails within the community may be constructed in one of three general ways: 1 ) on street, separated by a painted line, 2) off-street, but parallel to the road surface like a sidewalk, or 3) completely separated from the road and not necessarily parallel to it. 1k',1 �, PCom rehensive Plan 2018 r=xr V-- - City of Oak Park Heights Page 130 PARKS AND TRAILS - ISSUES • Work with the City Engineer to define the right-of-way widths that are necessary to establish trails along designated roadways; for instances: an eight-foot trail necessitates, at a minimum, a 20-foot easement and 10-foot level bench (construction)area. Many times, additional temporary easement areas are needed to grade surrounding areas. • Consider developing cross-country trails throughout the City. NORTHERN OAK PARK HEIGHTS TRAIL ISSUES • Provide interconnections with the Stillwater trail system whenever possible. • Link Sunnyside to Mn/DOT's trail. • Link Sunnyside to the bluff area by way of Lookout Trail. • Find a way to link Lookout Trail to the west. • Provide a trail connection to the Scenic Overlook. EASTERN OAK PARK HEIGHTS TRAIL ISSUES • Work with Washington County to providing trails along Osgood Avenue. • Provide access for those residents east of Osgood Avenue to safely cross Osgood Avenue and access the parks and trails to the west. • Provide interconnection with the Bayport trail system whenever possible. WESTERN OAK PARK HEIGHTS TRAIL ISSUES • Connect the Highway 36 frontage road to 58th Street on the west side of Menard's. • Complete interconnections between the commercial and residential areas to the 58th Street trail and the Xcel easements trail system. • Link Baytown Township and Stillwater Township with the Oak Park Heights trail system. • Provide interconnection with the Lake Elmo trail system wherever possible. • Provide trails on both sides of Oakgreen Avenue. • Connect the Pondview Condominiums at the southwest corner of Highway 36 and Oakgreen Avenue to the rest of the trail system. • Provide safe crossings on Oakgreen Avenue. i%or- ', "T Comprehensive Plan 20818 'S City of Oak Park Heights Page 131 PARKS AND TRAILS - GOALS AND POLICIES GOALS AND POLICIES INTRODUCTION Goals and policies reflect the community's direction as it relates to its recreation system and provides more detailed guidance on park and trail development. Park and trail goals and policies were developed through an analysis of the issues identified by the Parks Commission.

Comprehensive Plan 2018 � City of Oak Park Heights Page 134 PARKS AND TRAILS PLAN PARK AND TRAILS PLAN INTRODUCTION The Oak Park Heights Parks and Trails Plan is intended to provide guidance to the City for continued development and improvements of the City's park, trail and walkway system. The park facilities plan provides lists of improvements for the existing parks and identifies recreational facilities that could be added throughout the community. The trail portion of the plan indicates components that can be made to increase connections with neighboring cities and provides an overall plan for off-street and on- street trails that will connect all parts of the City. The trail system should not only ensure public access to community amenities but will also provide recreational opportunities for all age groups and safer access throughout the City. The trail system, in connection with regional and local trail systems that are in place or planned, could be used as a marketing tool for the community as well as to bring visitors to Oak Park Heights. The Parks and Trails Plan is based upon information gathered and analyzed in the Inventory, Issues Identification, and Goals and Policies sections of the plan. The following paragraphs detail the park, trail and walkway plans for the community to pursue in the next 10 years. PARK FACILITIES Valley View Valley View Park is valued for its dense vegetation, variation in topography, and wetlands. The plan proposes to maintain and enhance the natural aesthetics of the park. Improvements to the park focus on making the park more visible in the community and St. Croix Valley, more accessible, and as a continued resource for environmental education. The proposed improvements to the park will maintain and update the facilities that are already present. Currently, many people are unaware of the lower portion of the park due to lack of signage and the physical separation from the upper portion of the park. A list of potential improvements to Valley View Park is as follows. A map of the improvements is found on a following page. 1 . Replace the easement trail from Ozark Avenue. 2. Make building improvements to park shelter such as providing a deck on the east side, extension to north side, installing gutters, and adding electrical outlets. 3. Provide trail connections to the east of the park shelter. 4. Provide trail connections to the north of the park shelter, across the ravine. ``' lot r Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 135 PARKS AND TRAILS PLAN 5. Remove buckthorn from the easterly wooded area. 6. Work with Washington County on providing a pedestrian tunnel under Osgood Avenue to provide access from Brekke Park to the entrance of Valley View Park. 7. Provide signage to create a better understanding of the amenities of the park, especially the environmental features, and how to access them. Brekke Park Brekke Park is used extensively for field games and as a playground for toddler age and older children. The proposed plan proposes maintenance and minor improvements to the existing park. Previous park plans included proposals for expansion of passive and active recreational uses on the DNR managed land south of the park. If the land becomes available for purchase, the City would consider acquiring it for recreational open space uses. The map on a following page indicates the planned improvements. A summary of the improvements is as follows: 1. Study potential improvements to the existing picnic shelter. 2. Replace hockey boards 3. Work with Washington County on construction of a pedestrian tunnel under Osgood Avenue to provide safe access from Brekke Park to Valley View Park and the neighborhoods to the east. 4. Improve and update play equipment as needed. 5. Provide a connecting trail behind the baseball fields through the wildlife management area. 6. Replace easement trail and fence off 55th Street 7. Consider a trail with an east/west orientation along the existing parking lot and edge of the park to provide a connection to the upper playground. 8. Consider purchase, if available for sale, of the DNR managed property to the south of Brekke Park. Swager Park Swager Park serves as a linear neighborhood playground along a trail that is within an Xcel power line easement. The trail is now completed from Oldfield Avenue to the Anderson office building parking lot. Overall the main objective for this park is to keep it well maintained and serve the surrounding neighborhood. The City has considered a permanent restroom structure in the park but will continue with placement of portable toilets for the foreseeable future. Adding more trees, prairie grass plantings, and improved fencing/screening for the adjacent neighborhoods is also a priority. Comprehensive Plan 2018 1 City of Oak Park Heights Page 136 PARKS AND TRAILS PLAN The map on a following page indicates the proposed improvements. A summary of those improvements is found as follows: 1 . Consider the park as a linear park segment within the trail system, rather than a destination. 2. Provide more benches and picnic tables in the park. 3. Develop a landscape plan that provides additional trees and shrubs in the developed park area. 4. Work with Xcel on planting prairie grass in that area north of City Hall. 5. Provide exercise stations along the trail. 6. Provide fence/landscaping as a screen along the northern boundary of the park. 7. Consider eventual removal and possible replacement of the fence as needed along the south boundary of the park. The neighborhood shall be involved. 8. Provide lighting along the trail at the crosswalk at Oldfield Avenue. 9. Add water service with water fountain and hydrant. 10. The City would require park land dedication for the potential redevelopment area north of Swager Park. Cover Park Cover Park is the smallest park in the City and provides an active area for residents in the surrounding neighborhood. Improvements to the park were competed in 2017 that included a year-round park shelter/warming house for the hockey rink and covered picnic area. The parking was moved to the north side of the park adjacent to the new park shelter. Due to the proximity of Oak Park Crossing Park, trail connections were also provided to provide access between the two parks. The map on a following page indicates the limited planned improvements considering the recent upgrade of facilities. A listing of these improvements is as follows: 1. Monitor maintenance and improvements to new park shelter including installing gutters. 2. Maintain/improve perennial planting slope. Autumn Hills Park and Haase Recreational Area Autumn Hills Park and Haase Recreational Area serve as a neighborhood park and open space that is surrounded by the Boutwells Landing senior community. With completion of the new park shelter and restrooms in 2007, much of the major improvements are completed at this park. The City has identified additional projects to complete the park and to provide recreational programs and cross utilization of the facilities at Boutwells Landing. Comprehensive Plan 2018 '+` City of Oak Park Heights Page 137 PARKS AND TRAILS PLAN The map on a following page indicates the planned improvements. A listing of these improvements is as follows: 1. Monitor condition of playground equipment and replace as necessary. 2. Monitor condition of picnic tables and benches and replace as necessary. 3. Provide additional tree plantings within the park and replace ash trees. 4. Provide no smoking signs by playground. 5. Add bike racks near the park shelter. 6. Provide connections to the Boutwells Historic Village area to the south of the park and explore programs and cross-utilization of both facilities. Oak Park Crossing Park The area directly to the north of Valley View Park and south of Highway 36 contains Oak Park Crossings Park. This park area was developed on the former Allan S. King ash disposal facility. A parking lot has been constructed to provide access and the park has been provided with a playground, park shelters, walking trails and prairie grass plantings. The system of trails connects the open area with the neighborhoods to the west, Valley View Park to the south, and to Cover Park and the neighborhoods to the east. A major goal within this park is to provide a trail connection along the eastern border of Perro Pond. The map on a following page indicates the planned improvements. A listing of these improvements is as follows 1 . Include exercise equipment along trail system. 2. Determine if water fountains can be added. 3. Provide a trail connection along the eastern border of Perro Pond. 4. Add a swing set near the playground area. 5. Add picnic tables within picnic shelters. REGIONAL PARKS AND TRAILS The map on a following page indicates the regional park and trail systems in the St. Croix Valley near Oak Park Heights. The City will work with Washington County, adjoining cities and townships in providing an interconnected system. The Loop Trail is a 4.7-mile bicycle and pedestrian trail that is part of the St. Croix River Crossing project. With the completion of the St. Croix Crossing Bridge in August 2017, vehicle traffic was re-routed onto the new bridge and the existing Stillwater Lift Bridge will be converted to a bicycle and pedestrian facility. The Loop Trail will cross the St. Croix River at the Stillwater Lift Bridge and on the new St. Croix Crossing bridge. Trails in Comprehensive Plan 2018 7-477 City of Oak Park Heights Page 138 PARKS AND TRAILS PLAN Minnesota and Wisconsin will complete the loop and will connect to regional and local trail systems. The Lift Bridge will still accommodate boat navigation with lifts. The Loop Trail consists of a number of segments that will be completed by 2019. The main portion of the Minnesota and Wisconsin Loop Trail was constructed in 2015 and 2016. Construction of the remaining portions of the Loop Trail will occur in 2018 and 2019, with only the Lift Bridge portion remaining incomplete until 2019. By summer of 2019, the Loop Trail is expected to be fully operational. TRAILS The Proposed Parks and Trails Map has been created as part of the update to the Comprehensive Park and Trail System Plan and is found on a following page. The Issues Identification process indicated that there is a strong desire to continue the interconnection of neighborhoods, schools, commercial areas, public facilities, and parks. City staff has indicated that trails will be added as part of any City street projects, where possible, and as part of new and redeveloped commercial projects. The City will also work with Washington County on roadway upgrade projects, especially as it relates to providing trail connections. The trail plan will provide for the interconnection of neighborhoods, parks, schools and commercial areas. Emphasis shall be placed on a trail system that connects all areas of the community and interconnects to regional trail systems. The map on a following page indicates the existing and proposed trail system that includes both on-street and separated segments. Development of a comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian trail system plan as part of a park and trail system plan for the community should incorporate the following: 1. Include trail routes within and interconnections to the areas planned for annexation. 2. Connections to and linking neighborhoods with the commercial and industrial/ business park areas of the City. 3. Trail routes along major streets that have the most direct access to primary pedestrian destinations. 4. Where trails will connect neighborhoods to schools. 5. Where trails will serve commuter destinations. 6. Where trails lead to parks, playfields and other recreational facilities. 7. Where trails will link together separate portions of the sidewalks and trail systems with each other. 8. Where trails provide access to future regional trails.

Implementation consists of both planning and budgeting. Programs and projects are initially identified and defined. This is followed by prioritizing the various efforts on a yearly basis and then in the year the project will be implemented, determining work responsibility, costs and possible funding sources of projects. The Implementation chapter lists possible improvement projects identified during Oak Park Height's comprehensive planning program. It is again emphasized that implementation of the plan is an ongoing, annual effort which Oak Park Heights should incorporate as part of its management and budgeting process. This Implementation Plan, once established, should be reviewed and updated by the City each year at the beginning of its yearly financial planning. Through such constant attention, the City will be able to progressively address and resolve problems and bring about desired community improvements to the extent that fiscal resources are available. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT Xcel Energy Fly Ash Disposal Site/Oak Park Crossing Park The Xcel Energy fly ash disposal site, which is south of Highway 36 and east of Osgood Avenue, was used to dispense of an ash by-product created at the Allen S. King power generating facility located adjacent to the St. Croix River. The site has been capped and is now Oak Park Crossing Park. The fly ash monitoring will continue under the management of Xcel Energy, but the park is under the management of the City. Wetlands / Perro Creek Wetlands in the City serve important features as ponding areas for ground water recharge, nutrient assimilation, wildlife habitat and as open space. Perro Creek is a significant natural feature within Valley View Park that serves important stormwater and aesthetic functions. The City will continue to protect wetland areas and enforce the existing setbacks and buffer regulations. In addition, the City will incorporate these natural areas into trail planning to take advantage of views and access to these natural areas. 4," Comprehensive Plan 2018 -41P 04 City of Oak Park Heights Page 155 IMPLEMENTATION Ground Water A ground water pollution area south of Oak Park Heights will be an ongoing issue for the City. The Baytown Township ground water contamination site is the result of the disposal or spillage of trichloroethylene in the area south of Highway 5 and west of Manning Avenue, and the use or spillage of carbon tetrachloride at a nearby grain storage facility. The City will need to continue to monitor the spread of the contamination and consider the pollution impact with any new well or well reconditioning. LAND USE Annexation Areas The Comprehensive Plan indicates one area, west of the City in Stillwater Township, that potentially could become a part of the City in the next 10 years. The City will not aggressively pursue areas of annexation from the Township or detachment/annexation from one of the adjoining cities. The City will continue an ongoing dialogue with the property owners and with the affected governing jurisdictions. The use of annexation or orderly annexation agreements would be utilized to make the transition to the City of Oak Park Heights. Residential Single Family. The City will not actively pursue additional land outside of the current City limits for single family development. There are currently no significant tracks of land available in the City for low density subdivision but there will be ongoing, minor single-family infill projects. Preservation and ongoing investment and maintenance within the existing neighborhoods will be the focus for the City in coming years. Street/utility reconstruction projects will also be a focus in neighborhoods as these maintenance projects are required. Medium/High Density Residential. There are no current or projected mid and high density residential projects planned within the City. As with single family, there are no tracks of land that could accommodate significant mid density projects. Redevelopment along the Highway 36 corridor could include mixed use developments that incorporate mid and high density residential units. There are also no areas identified for additional high-density development except for an area north of 58th Street included as part of Boutwells Landing. This organization owns vacant property that has been identified for mixed residential and business Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 156 IMPLEMENTATION development. It is possible that high density units could be included with an office development in this area. Housing Ongoing maintenance and rehabilitation of the City's housing stock will be an important objective in coming years. The City may need to consider formulation and enforcement of housing and ground maintenance regulations with specific attention to building conditions, outdoor storage, and accessory uses. Effective enforcement of these regulations would be a necessary and ongoing responsibility of the City. Rehabilitation programs are available through the Washington County HRA. The City should continue to promote these programs and continue the enforcement of existing codes and regulations related to home and site maintenance. The City will support efforts for development of affordable living in the City. The City recognizes that the City already contains significant affordable housing options and will support programs to maintain and preserve this housing. Commercial Highway commercial development and redevelopment will continue along Highways 36 and County Road 15. Infill development is expected to claim the remaining developable areas in the next five to ten years. Under-utilized properties will become increasingly attractive for redevelopment as the demand for prime frontage on these corridors continues. The City will need to work with the development community in facilitating upgrades and redevelopment opportunities. Involvement with Mn/DOT and Washington County is also necessary to address access issues, frontage road maintenance, and ongoing funding and improvement issues. Business Warehousing/Industrial The City has very limited area available for business/warehousing land use and no land for additional industrial. The business warehouse area contained within the Kern Center off County Road 15 and 58th Street,will be completely developed in the next five to ten years. The City will support continued investment in the existing business and warehousing areas through expansion, upgrades,and improved infrastructure to insure the economic and job base of the City. A.S.King Plant The Xcel Energy - Allen S. King Plant is a 511 mega-watt coal-fired facility that was constructed in 1968 along the St.Croix River on approximately 60 acres.The King Plant Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 157 IMPLEMENTATION underwent a major retrofit in 2004 to reduce emissions. However, like many power plant facilities, the repair and maintenance become expensive for Xcel Energy compared to alternative investment in new technology and facilities to generate the same power at a lesser cost. Therefore, the City expects that the King Plant will close if the shift away from coal as an energy source continues. The timing of this closure may depend on a number of factors but is reasonable to predict that in the next twenty years the King Plant will be decommissioned. Beyond the environmental discussions or base-load capacity elements, it is important to understand that when this power plant was originally constructed in Oak Park Heights, there was a commitment to the local community from Xcel Energy that there would be a significant tax benefit to its residents in exchange for having this facility in the community. While there have been annual fluctuations, this tax benefit remains. Currently, the City receives 33 percent of its annual property tax revenue from the King Plant or approximately 1 .7 million dollars. If the King Plant closes and no longer remains a viable source of tax revenue, the City will have a significant gap in its ability to fund municipal services. Accordingly, the City, like many other communities that host power plants (being coal, nuclear or natural gas) must begin to contemplate about how it would respond when such closure happens. More specifically, what would happen to the Allen S. King Plant site? How or could the budget gap be addressed without a passage of such costs to others? Will the site have ongoing environmental issues? The City plans to engage with Xcel Energy, community members, and State and local government partners to begin to explore the issues and opportunities that a potential closure of the King Plant will present. Park Land / Open Space As part of this Comprehensive Plan process, the Parks and Trails Plan has been updated. The plan indicates that there are no new areas planned for park development in the City. Identified in the plan are a number of park and trail improvements, most related to maintenance, that will be addressed in the next ten years. Public and Institutional There are no significant expansions for any of the public or institutional facilities that would necessitate change in land uses. Comprehensive Plan 2018 '.4 City of Oak Park Heights Page 158 IMPLEMENTATION HISTORIC PRESERVATION The Land Use Plan has identified two sites deemed historic. Due to the limited number of historic structures and sites,the City does not anticipate the need for a preservation ordinance or establishment of a commission to oversee historic resources.The City will work to maintain these properties, within financial and practical reason, in that they contribute to the cultural resources of the community. SOLAR ACCESS PROTECTION Solar access protection is provided for the uniform application of lot and building performance standards that are in place within the Oak Park Heights Zoning Ordinance. The City will continue to maintain these standards and promote the establishment of energy saving and capture methods that are in conformance with the building design and lot requirements. TRANSPORTATION Functional Classification System/Access Management The Transportation Plan indicates a functional classification system map as well as regulations for access management. On an ongoing basis, the City will follow the plan in terms of the access management recommendations as it relates to new and redevelopment projects. Highway 36 The City recognizes the increased 2030 traffic volumes projected on Highway 36 which is expected to reach 55,000 ADT in that area between Oakgreen and Osgood Avenues. With the increased traffic, the City will continue to work with Mn/DOT and Washington County on issues related to frontage roads and critical Highway 36 intersections within the City. The at-grade crossings at Norell Avenue and Osgood Avenue will need to be monitored and improved to ensure adequate traffic flow levels and to assure the safety of drivers and pedestrians at these locations. Street Reconstruction Program One of the transportation policies indicates a continuation of the street reconstruction programs to maintain the local utility and street network. The City Council and City staff will need to continue to maintain the condition of the City streets and determine a sy_. Comprehensive Plan 2018 -:2, ." City of Oak Park Heights Page 159 IMPLEMENTATION timeline to complete the necessary sections of the network. As part of the budgeting process, the City Council will also need to continue to set aside funds to eventually complete this expensive rehabilitation program. Rail Facilities The City of Oak Park Heights will work with representatives of Union Pacific on any rail transportation issues that arise. It is expected that the Allen S. King Plant will continue to receive all of the coal shipments via this rail line. The 2040 Transportation Plan does not indicate any light rail corridors that would access Oak Park Heights or neighboring communities in the St. Croix Valley. Bus I Transit Service The City will continue to work with Metro Transit officials on continuing and expanding bus service for Oak Park Heights. Additionally, the City continues to support the local transit service provided by the Washington County Transit Link Service and Metro Mobility/ADA. This service is especially important for elderly residents and those that are less independently mobile. Expansion of this service may be necessary as the population of the St. Croix Valley grows older and less mobile. COMMUNITY FACILITIES Police and Fire The City's police and fire services adequately serve the emergency protection needs of the community at this time. The contract with the Bayport Fire Department has served the community well and will be continued into the future. The City will need to continue to monitor its needs for fire and ambulance service, especially as the elderly population of the community grows. The new Bayport Fire Department facility, completed in 2016, will also serve the member communities well for years to come. Additional study will be necessary to determine if the Bayport Fire Department could serve the development of the potential annexation area to the west of the City. If an annexation proposal is presented to the City, a study would be necessary. Water, Sanitary Sewer and Storm Sewer Services The City Engineer, Stantec, has developed Water, Sanitary Sewer and Storm Sewer Plans as part of this Comprehensive Plan Update. These plans are attached in the Appendix of this document. .\rt? k Comprehensive Plan 2018 City of Oak Park Heights Page 160 i; IMPLEMENTATION City Hall/Public Works With the completion of the City Hall building in 2009 and the remodel and expansion of the public works building, the City/Police facilities and the maintenance garage will serve the community well for years to come. There are no other major facility replacement or improvements planned now other than upkeep and maintenance of existing. ADMINISTRATION Staffing The City will need to monitor staffing levels as the City grows and redevelopment occurs. It is not anticipated that staffing/positions will need to be changed from the current levels. Community Identity The City will need to continue efforts in promoting recognition and identification. Construction of welcome signs at the primary entrances to the community and use of newspapers, cable TV, the City website and the City newsletter are all seen as important vehicles in City promotion. Continued promotion of the City's extensive trail system is also seen as a significant way of introducing people to Oak Park Heights. Public Relations Oak Park Heights has an ongoing policy of providing effective public education regarding City activities. The City will continue to work on ways to promote the community, its residential neighborhoods, and its business and commercial sites using effective communication tools. To continue and improve the lines of communication between City government and its citizens, Oak Park Heights should continue to use the City website, newsletters, mailings, cable access, newspapers, and other forms of public media. Zoning / Subdivision Regulations Updates / Design Guidelines As a follow up to Comprehensive Plan approval, the City should review its zoning and subdivision regulations to make updates as needed. The Comprehensive Plan text does not suggest any significant changes to the Zoning Ordinance district allowances and performance standards. The Zoning Ordinance has been amended but has not Comprehensive Plan 2018 . .: City of Oak Park Heights Page 161 14141;: - x‘ IMPLEMENTATION been completely updated since 1998. The City may consider an update to improve format and modernize standards and provide a more user friendly document. Capital Improvement Planning The City of Oak Park Heights has an effective system of capital improvements planning that is scheduled or updated on a yearly basis. The capital improvement planning can be used as a planning tool that will be especially important as the City continues to grow and redevelopment projects occur.

The area where these structures are located is to be the final placement of PHASE V of the development and is 72-units of affordable senior living apartments which has already secured general approval by the City in 2017. The Planning Commission is asked to make a finding if the Applicant's planned development is consistent with the City Approvals and/or general plans for the area? In short, the Developer's planned use has been approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council in May 2017 and as generally found in in City Council Resolution 17-05-18 as enclosed. Based on these approvals the Planning Commission is asked to approve the enclosed Resolution. Supplemental Information: For the Sake of some further examination, but not part of the scope of review for the Planning Commission, is the proposal consistent with the City's TIF Policy?The overall the City TIF policy on affordable senior multi- family projects does allow for the limited support of Senior Housing and states as follows, • The City will consider limited TIF support for elements of senior multi- family affordable housing projects that meet all of the requirements for tax credits under Internal Revenue Codes . In this instance, the total project costs are estimated to exceed $9.6 million dollars in construction costs and/or Market Value -- meaning the request of the Developer is approximately 2.1% of the entirety of the project and likely would close-out in less than five years after completion as a Senior Housing TIF District. Accordingly, the proposal taken at face value would appear to be "limited" and meet the scope of the Policy.

The Developer is proposing to construct 72-units of affordable,senior rental housing.He is requesting$200,000 in tax increment to assist with the demolition and relocation expenses on parcels located on Lower 59th Street.The project's completed market value is estimated$9.65 million.Construction is proposed to begin in May 2018 with occupancy in the summer of 2019. Additional details may be found in the draft TIF Plan for TIF District No.1-3. It is proposed the City would issue a Pay-as-you-go Note,where the developer would incur the expenses and be reimbursed with available increment over time.This option creates minimal risk for the City.The payment on the Note would be based on the actual,semi-annual tax increment settled by the County. Planning Commission Review As part of the process to establish a TIF District,the Planning Commission is requested to review the Development Program and proposed TIF Plan to determine their conformity with the general plans for the development of the City as described in the Comprehensive Plan for the City.

Policy Considerations: The City of Oak Park Heights will consider providing Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for projects that achieve the ALL of following. 1 . Demonstrates through documentation — as required by the City - clear long-term fiscal and economic benefits to the City; 2. Provide quality employment opportunities where permanent living wage jobs are created; 3. Will significantly add to and benefit the City's commercial and industrial tax base by providing a high-quality development and that returns the property to general tax roll of the City promptly with significant remaining years of taxable value. 4. Demonstrate the achievement of the City's General Policy of TIF as well as the Additional Policy Statements and Requirements NOTE: For the purposes of the City TIF Policy in general, "Living Wage"jobs are defined as a wage sufficient to provide the necessities and comforts essential to an acceptable standard of living found within the Oak Park Heights community. Under a reasonable living wage, someone who works an ordinary 40-hour per week job would be able to afford shelter, food, health care, and other basic necessities of life within the Oak Park Heights Community. There can be distinct calculations of how a living wage is specifically determined and can vary with benefits provided and reasonable standards shall be applied, but in all cases the creation of predominantly minimum wage jobs shall not qualify to meet this standard. Nor, shall be these wage rates be "averaged" into a total living wage with higher salaried individuals within a defined project for the purposes of creating a higher average. Additional Policy Statements and Requirements: 1. The City intends to consider the use of TIF to provide the developer reasonable assistance for public improvements. 2. The use of TIF shall be in accordance with Minnesota law. Because changes are frequently made to state law regarding the use of TIF,conflicts in the regulations may arise. If a conflict does arise between this policy and Minnesota law,the more restrictive language shall apply as determined by the City. 3. Projects must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and other development goals of the City as determined by the City Council. 4. Developer Fees are not recoverable via TIF funding. 5. It is the obligation of the applicant to secure financing and in all cases a TIF shall be a"pay as you go".In applicable circumstances,the City will consider the use of pass-through revenue bonds that are not the financial burden or responsibility of the City.Applicable fees will be applied. 6. The City will only use "Pay as you Go" financing and will not issue public guaranteed debt nor will the City implement assessments to finance or advance fund any elements,including utilities. 7. A fiscal impact study will be required if the project involves annexation.This will be the expense of the Developer and not paid for by TIF. 8. Any project that results in transportation or other impacts that may demand improvements to County systems must be fully funded by the Developer and not via the use of TIF financing revenues nor may these create a cost sharing burden for the City. 9. The level of assistance provided to developers will be determined on a case-by- case basis. When determining the level of assistance, the City will judge the quality of the development and/or the quality of the employment opportunities generated. Based on the extent to which the project achieves the policy considerations,the City will consider providing TIF assistance to projects falling in the following categories: • Only commercial projects that encourage substantial redevelopment of substandard,polluted or blighted properties. • Taxable Research and development or and educational entities when permanent living wage jobs are created. • Manufacturing when permanent living wage jobs are created. • Major office, production, and warehouse facilities when permanent living wage jobs are created. • The City will consider limited TIF support for elements of senior multi- family affordable housing projects that meet all of the requirements for tax credits under Internal Revenue Codes . In all cases, the City will require a final TIF Plan and Agreement to be negotiated and agreed upon prior to any funding being provided. Additional Requirements: Application for TIF Assistance must be accompanied with a signed "Development Application" and the payment of a $3,000 non-refundable Application Fee. Additionally, a $10,000 escrow payment must accompany Application for TIF Assistance; these escrow funds are utilized to ensure payment of bond counsel, financial consultants, attorney's fees, etc. The Applicant is responsible to pay for all fees related to the Application and development of the TIF plan, agreements and its implementation.
