OTHER BUSINESS
2005 Street Improvement Proiect
Public Works Director Eckles provided Council with a map that was included in the 2005
feasibility report. He stated that Council requested that more streets be added as an
option and the streets staff has determined that could be included are Orwell Court and
Olive Street from Greeley to Holcombe Street, which is also included in the map. He also
provided a map for the streets that were recently rated in the City's Pavement
Management Program.
Possible approval of resolution declarinq an emergency. authorizinq emerqency manaqement
and hazard mitiqation activities with reqard to the exterior wall at Territorial Prison site
Public Works Director Eckles stated that the prison wall is suffering from a number of
deficiencies, including roots, missing capstones, missing wall stones, deteriorated bottom
stone and deteriorated joints. He also stated that they had hoped the work could have
been done with the developer's contractor, however that is not possible. He believes that
the work needs to be done immediately because of the condition of the wall and before
construction by developer is completed. He requested that Council adopt a resolution
declaring the wall as an emergency and authorizing staff to negotiate a contract with Jay
Brothers to repair the wall. He also stated that the developer will pay $25,000 (their
original budget) plus $158,000, which is half of the cost of the repair of the wall, and the
total project would not exceed $341,346.00.
Motion by Council member Rheinberger, seconded by Council member Junker to adopt
Resolution 2004-200, a resolution declaring an emergency, authorizing emergency
management and hazard mitigation activities with regard to the exterior wall at Territorial Prison
site at a cost not to exceed $341,346.00.

STAFF REPORTS
Police Chief Dauffenbach informed the Council of the auction at the Public Works Garage
on Wednesday, October 6. He stated that items from with Stillwater School District, Oak
Park Heights, Bayport, Stillwater Police Departments would be for auction.
Fire Chief Glaser provided an update on the receipt of the new fire truck and the items
purchased with the 2003 FEMA grant. He also reported that the restroom project for the
Fire Department has been completed.
Mayor Kimble requested that he meet with the Community Development Director
regarding the HPC and Planning process and status of the Lofts project.
Community Development Director Russell provided Council with a summary of the
heights and number of units of Buildings 1, 2, 3. 4 and 5 of Terra Springs.
Council member Junker asked about the garage parking and if the measurement starts at
the exposed area of the garage.
Mr. Russell stated that the garage is considered basement and the measurement starts
from ground level (lobby) and that the definition of height is by taking the lowest point and
the highest point and take the average and that is where it is measured and going up 54
feet is the midpoint of the roof.
Mayor Kimble and Council member Junker stated that there will be questions regarding
the height at the public hearing and how it was measured. Mayor Kimble stated that it is
being perceived that this building will tower over the others.
Mayor Kimble asked if there were any problems with the Mills project.
Mr. Russell stated that he hasn't heard of anything, however they did bid the materials
and they came back high and wanted to change the design. He stated that is where a
problem can come in because one design was approved and because the material costs
were higher than expected they want to change the design, which becomes different than
the design approval they received.
Councilmember Junker stated that the Mills did a great job on the demolition, however
asked if the concrete barriers could be moved.
Mr. Russell stated that it would be difficult because the building will come up right to the
sidewalk. He also addressed the possible temporary parking on the abandoned railroad
bed for the construction workers in the area.
Mayor Kimble suggested that maybe scaffolding and plywood be used to open up the
sidewalk and yet protect the pedestrians.
Public Works Director Eckles reviewed some of the objections to North Hill assessments
received.
Council member Milbrandt expressed concern about the hookup charge versus
assessments for those property owners who have purchase agreements on their property
Page 2 of 13
based on assessment information they received before the hookup charge was
implemented. He asked City Attorney Magnuson if the Council could adopt the
assessment roll and anyone who has an objection would have to file with the City Clerk a
written objection before or at the hearing. He stated that Council could not amend the
roll, but could inform the property owners with purchase agreements that they can sign a
agreement of assessment and waiver of notice, hearing, and appeal and then they would
be responsible for the payment of the assessment rather than paying the hookup charge.
He reminded Council of the appraisals and that these appraisals justify the assessment.
Finance Director Harrison reported that she has sent out Requests for Proposal for
auditing services with a three-year term. She stated that she would be presenting that
information to Council at a future meeting.
Mayor Kimble recessed the meeting at 5:50 p.m.

Resolution 2004-201, adopting assessment for grading of city lot (L.I. 362)
Ayes: Councilmembers Kriesel, Milbrandt, Rheinberger, Junker and Mayor Kimble
Nays: None
This is the date and time for the public hearinq to consider assessments for the North Hill
Improvement Proiect.
Public Works Director Eckles provided an update on the North Hill Project and explained
the assessment roll methodology.
Assistant City Engineer Sanders presented information to Council and the audience on
the history of the project, proposed assessments, funding sources, and assessment
rates.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing.
Mr. Ron Christofferson, 324 E. St. Croix Avenue, stated that the current water main was
replaced with new copper around 1982 and paid the $995 cost. He stated that they paid
for water two times and he should not be charged a third time. He also stated he
objected to the street improvement assessment because they have no benefit from the
upgrade on North Broadway and cannot access their property from North Broadway. He
continued by saying that North Broadway is virtually a private road for 5-6 homes that
receive actual benefit and felt that their property should not be assessed for the
improvements on North Broadway.
Page 4 of 13
Mayor Kimble explained the 429 process and stated that if the roll is adopted any
objections requires action at District Court.
Mr. Christoperson asked if the $25,000 hookup includes utilities for developers who may
put in 4 lots and if that amount includes the road costs.
Mr. Eckles stated that the $25,000 hookup includes that cost.
Ms. Marge Knowlton, 1208 N. Broadway asked if they would have to immediately hookup
because she already has water.
Mayor Kimble explained the issue of private water lines and stated that this issue came
up last year when a homeowner had a neighbor's private line running through his
neighbors yard and he wanted it moved. He stated that other people have paid for a
watermain costs, but this area has not.
Mr. Eckles stated that if properties are already on the City's water system it would not be
required to abandon the line and hookup to the watermain, however it is there in case the
private service lines are compromised, that the properties will be able to hook up to the
water main.
Mr. Christopherson asked if the ordinance for immediate hookup applies.
Mayor Kimble stated that it does apply to residents with septic and well, but not to
residents that have a private service on the City's system as in the case of Ms. Knowlton.
Mr. Bill Klein, 1220 N. Broadway, provided an objection to the water main assessment
and stated that he has a letter that they have paid an assessment for water and provided
that information to the City Clerk.
Mr. Dick Edstrom, 1817 North 2nd Street, stated that he wished his assessment be raised
because he presently has a purchase agreement to sell the property and felt that he
should be allowed to pay the cost of the assessment rather than $25,000 for a hookup
charge.
City Attorney Magnuson stated that in special circumstances such as purchase
agreements already in place, Council could request that the people sign a agreement of
assessment and waiver of notice, hearing, and appeal and then they would be
responsible for the payment of the assessment rather than paying the hookup charge.
Mayor Kimble asked Mr. Edstrom to meet with Public Works Director Eckles regarding
the agreement of assessment and waiver of notice, hearing, and appeal.
Mr. Terry Fisher, owner of property at 115 Willow, stated that he had purchased the
property with information regarding the original assessment and that he is now subject to
the hookup charge. He requested that the assessment be reinstated.
Mayor Kimble asked Mr. Fisher to meet with Public Works Director Eckles regarding the
agreement of assessment and waiver of notice, hearing, and appeal.
Page 5 of 13
Ms. Patricia Danaher, 1723 2nd Street N, stated that she has submitted a written appeal
to her assessment because of the cost of the assessment and the cost she would have to
have her home connected to the sewer and water. She stated that the connection will be
expensive, approximately $17,000. She also stated that she has a working system and
would like to postpone the hookup to the sewer and water until the home is sold.
Mayor Kimble advised the audience that if one contractor does multiple dwellings people
may get a better price on the installation of services
Mr. Michael Wente,125 E Willow, spoke against the assessment and would not benefit
from the improvement. He stated that they have a long, narrow corner lot with large street
frontage that cannot be subdivided. He felt he was being punished for not subdividing.
He provided a written objection to the assessment.
Mr. Brian Larson, 2008 Hazel Court, stated that he objected to the amount assessed
against his property. He doesn't begrudge anyone their reduction in assessment and that
the 2001 assessment placed an unfair burden on some properties and that the new
formulas have made some assessments more fair, however there are some assessments
that are made less fair in the case of his property a mid-sized acre lot is in effect
subsidizing the reductions that the other larger and smaller lots are receiving. He stated
funding reduced the cost from the 2001 feasibility, however also did the formula and he
will be paying more. He felt that assessments should go down with the project costs
being lower however the mid-size lots are getting the assessments raised. He asked that
the assessment be revaluated and reduced sharing equitably in the state funding benefit
the rest of the project is receiving and felt that his assessment was not a fair assessment.
Ms. Julie Paulson, 104 E. Poplar, stated she was appreciative of the hard work that has
been done to reduce the assessments and how the project has gone smoother and
quicker than anyone thought it would. She thanked the contractor and City staff for their
professionalism and assistance in this project, however she has submitted an objection to
the assessment because to hookup to the system would cost approximately $20,000
including other hookup fees. She stated that their septic system was completely replaced
in 1999 for approximately $20,000 and felt that the assessment should be less than
properties that have older septic systems. She did not agree with the appraisal and felt
that the improvements would enhance the value of their property $10,000-$20,000, not
$37,000. She requested a reduction in the assessment.
Mr. Jon Skallen, 1900 N. 3rd Street, asked if the park road would still be maintained, he
requested that he be allowed to hookup to the water and sewer until at least next year to
take advantage of possible savings when a new house is built on the lot next to his. He
stated that his septic and well are in excellent shape. He was wondering how he got a 3rd
Street address when there is no 3rd Street near his property.
Mayor Kimble suggested that Mr. Skallen talk to Mr. Sanders or Mr. Eckles regarding the
hookup and his address.
Mr. Dale Shaller, 1819 4th Street N, provided an appeal to the requirement that resident's
hookup to new sewer and water upon completion of the project. He stated that he has a
very new well and septic system that is fully functional. He requested deferment of the
immediate hookup until the time his house and lot are sold. He also stated that the costs
for a long hookup would be expensive.

l___________
Mr. Bruce Ehlers, 110 Lakeside Drive, commended the contractors and City staff,
especially Tim Moore for the excellent work and service on the project. He stated that he
has submitted an objection to the street assessment for his property. He felt that the
street assessment should have been a flat fee, as for the other utilities and spread
among all properties rather than per lineal foot because everyone uses the streets.
Mr. John Schoenecker, 301 Willow Street, asked about the no parking on Willow Street.
Mr. Eckles explained that because Municipal State Aid (MSA) monies were used on that
street, MSA standards dictate the parking on the street. He stated that if the street was
wider there could have been parking on one side, however because residents didn't want
it wider the street had to be built to those standards. Mr. Eckles also explained that the
City tried to get a variance to the parking rules but that MSA denied the variance. He
stated that they are adding parking areas on 1 st Street and at the bottom of the hill.
Mr. Schoenecker stated that regarding the property at 1818 N 1st Street he asked for
clarification on the assessment costs.
Mr. Sanders stated that there were some unique properties that did not front on any of
the streets and the assessment was based on a 60-foot assessment, which is the width
of the right of way.
Ms. Colleen Roach, 1901 2nd Street N, spoke against the street assessments and felt
they should be fair and spread across evenly among the properties. She asked if the
MSA monies were not used on Willow Street, then parking would be allowed on Willow.
She asked about if parking is not available on Willow where parking is allowed. She
stated that there is no parking on 2nd or Willow. She asked that traffic speeds should be
monitored in this area.
Mr. Sanders stated that the State Aid portion of 2nd Street ends at Willow Street and that
2nd Street from Willow to River Heights Drive is 32 feet wide so that allows parking on one
side.
Mayor Kimble reminded the audience that if there are objections to the assessment that
they be submitted in writing to the City Clerk tonight.
Mayor Kimble closed the public hearing.
Council member Rheinberger asked City Attorney Magnuson to explain the rules of the
project.
Mr. Magnuson explained the process for objections and that written objections must be
submitted prior to or at the hearing to the City Clerk and if the assessment roll is adopted
that those who provide those objections in writing may appeal to the District Judge for
adjustments to the assessment roll. He stated that an appeal to the District Court must
be done within 30 days of the adoption of the assessment roll.
After discussion, it was the Council consensus that staff review the objections received
and provide information to the Council at a special meeting on October 13, 2004 at 4:30

L
p.m. as to any recommended changes to the assessment roll for the people who have
objected to their assessments.
Councilmember Kriesel asked Mr. Eckles to explain the logic of not spreading the street
assessments equally over all the properties.
Mr. Eckles explained that usually staff likes to do a unit cost for streets and explained the
reasoning behind the lineal foot assessment for streets.
Councilmember Milbrandt stated that % of this project is being borne by the rest of the
residents of Stillwater through general taxes and felt this is the most gracious
project/assessments that they could come up with.
Motion by Council member Junker, seconded by Council member Milbrandt to adopt Resolution
2004- 202, resolution adopting assessment for the North Hill Improvement project (Project 2000-
15) and direct staff to review the objections to the assessments and provide information to
Council at a special meeting set for Wednesday, October 13, 2004 at 4:30 p.m. to review
objections to the assessment roll.

Mayor Kimble recessed the meeting at 8:10p.m.
Mayor Kimble reconvened the meeting at 8:20 p.m.
This is the day and time for the public hearino to consider adoption of the Boutwell South Area
Plan. The Boutwell South Area Plan is bounded bv Boutwell Avenue. County Road 15
(Mannino Avenue) and County Road 12.
Community Development Director Russell presented the Boutwell South Area Plan. The
area is bounded by County Road 12, Boutwell Road and Manning Avenue. Most of the
area is in Stillwater Township and is in the Phase IV annexation area. The plan looked at
natural resources, drainage, and land use. There have been two Joint Board public
hearings, two Planning Commission public hearings, and a public hearing by the City
Council. The Planning Commission has made one change, Recommendation No.3, to
the original plan based on traffic studies. The purpose of the plan is to provide a land use
guide for future development of the area.
Mayor Kimble opened the hearing to the public.
Gail Pundsack, 140 Northland Avenue, stated that the process has been over a year
long. When Croixwood was built 30 years ago, there was no decent north-south route
included. She suggested that Manning be improved first before any development takes
place.
Steve Fischer, Bruggeman Properties, supports the information in the plan, except
Recommendation No.3, to facilitate annexation.
Lynn Moorhead, 12092 75th St. N., would like to see the proposal approved.
Page 8 of 13
Mayor Kimble closed the public hearing and Council discussed the item.
Councilmember Milbrandt stated that he is in favor of Recommendation No.3, that no
development occurs until the traffic issues are resolved. Councilmember Junker stated
that he is in favor of connecting Neal Avenue to County Road 12. Councilmember Kriesel
stated his concerns with additional traffic on existing streets. He feels the City should not
move forward until the traffic issue is addressed. Council member Rheinberger stated he
is in favor of adopting the plan because it addresses the development that will likely occur
and it moves the process ahead.
Motion by Councilmember Rheinberger, seconded by Council member Milbrandt to adopt
Resolution 2004-203, resolution adopting the Boutwell South Area Plan with recommendations
as presented.
Ayes: Councilmembers Milbrandt, Rheinberger, Junker and Mayor Kimble
Nays: Councilmember Kriesel
Case No. V/04-80. This is the date and time for the public hearina to consider a reauest from
Jennifer and Tom Grahek for a variance to the lot size requlations (7.500 sauare feet reauired.
6.732 sauare feet reauested) for the construction of a residence with an attached aaraqe
located at 927 6th Avenue South in the RB. Two Family Residential District.
Community Development Director Russell reviewed the variance request. He stated that
the lot is a nonconforming lot size and there was a house on this property, which had a
fire about a year ago and subsequently demolished. He stated that the proposed house
and garage to be constructed on the property would not require any variances to the
building setback requirements and that the Planning Commission recommended
approval.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing
There were no public comments.
Mayor Kimble closed the public hearing.
Motion by Councilmember Rheinberger, seconded by Councilmember Junker to grant a
variance to the lot size regulations at 926 South Sixth Avenue. All in favor.
Case No. PUD-FNI04-84. This is the date and time for the public hearinq to consider a reauest
from Terra Sprinqs. LLC. for a Final PUD approval and a variance to heiqht (54 feet reauested.
50 feet allowed) for Buildinq NO.5 of Terra Sprinqs Development containinq 36 residential units
located at 650 North Main Street in the CBD. Central Business District.
Community Development Director Russell presented the request. This is the final site in
the Terra Springs development to come before Council for final PUD approval. This
request has 50 fewer units than requested in the concept PUD. The concept PUD
approved four stories, fifty feet; the current plan requests four stories, fifty-four feet. Mr.
Russell explained that height is measured from the mid-point of the grade to the mid-
point of the pitch of the roof.
Mayor Kimble opened the hearing to the public.
Page 9 of 13
Brian Sweeney, Frauenshuh-Sweeney, addressed Council and presented a fact sheet on
the environmental clean up of the site.
Jack Buxell, architect for the project, presented the plans and drawings of the proposed
building.
Suki Thomsen, 913 N. Broadway, presented a letter from the most-affected neighbors.
They support the Terra Springs development, but disagree with the calculation of height.
They feel their views will be destroyed and property values lowered. They feel there is no
hardship, therefore no reason to grant the variance, and asked that Council deny the
request.
Larry Lappi stated they are not opposed to the development, only the height and
massiveness of the building. Their view will not be affected, but those of some of the
neighbors will be affected. He asked why a two-foot variance was requested at the
Planning Commission, and now there is a four-foot variance being requested. Mr. Buxell
responded that the measurement was originally taken from the back of the building. The
measurement should have been taken from the front of the building, which added another
two feet to the request, because of the grade elevation. Mr. Lappi feels the
measurement should be taken from Main Street, and he feels there is no hardship.
A resident of 1002 1st St. N. expressed his concern over the height request.
Paulette Lappi stated that if they were to subdivide their property, the lower lot would
have its view impaired. She asked what the hardship is that justifies the variance.
Tina Mishaud, 904 1st St. N., stated that she was not notified of this meeting because she
is outside the 300 feet of building 5.
Tom Thomsen, 913 N. Broadway, stated that since the building will be five stories why
there is not a request for a variance for number of stories.
Larry Lappi, asked if there could be an explanation of what the hardship is. City Attorney
Magnuson stated that the very nature of a PUD assumes that there will be variances.
The PUD allows the overall design of the project to be integrated.
Mr. Russell stated that because over 50 percent of the lower level is below grade, it is
considered a basement and not counted in the number of stories.
Suki Thomsen stated that her concern is the massiveness of the building. Looking at the
building, it is obvious there are five stories. There would be no need for a variance if it
had been four stories. She feels there is no opportunity for public input until the very end
of the project when it is too late. She questioned if this process will happen with the other
two downtown developments. Mayor Kimble responded that this has been a ten-year
process with public input throughout the process. He also stated that the building is
considered four stories under the guidelines.
Mayor Kimble closed the public hearing and turned discussion over to the City Council.
Council member Kriesel asked what the alternative would be if the variance was denied.
Page 10 of 13
Mr. Buxell responded that the height cannot be reduced without compromising the
upscale quality of the residences. He feels that the building will not affect the neighbors'
views.
Motion by Councilmember Rheinberger, seconded by Councilmember Milbrandt to deny final
PUD approval and a variance to heights. Motion failed.
Ayes: Councilmembers Rheinberger and Milbrandt
Nays: Councilmembers Kriesel, Junker and Mayor Kimble

space/natural character should be considered for future use.
