Library Project Update
Bill Hickey, president of the Library Board of Trustees, was present to provide an update
on the library project. The bid for the soil retention work has been accepted and work
should begin within a week, he said. Interior excavation also is scheduled to begin
within the week, he said. Footings will start about Nov. 1, with pre-cast to come in on
top of that. Interior demolition is pretty much done. A Foundation Permit Application will
be applied for; sample panels of final finished materials will be erected soon. Two bid
packages have been approved -soil retention came in at $522,000.00, about
$30,000.00 more than budgeted, while the pre-cast package came in at $797,848.00,
about $43,000.00 under budget. Bidding has been competitive, he said.
Councilmember Harycki asked about the permit process and asked whether a full
building permit had been obtained. Mr. Hickey responded that, with the assistance of
the Building Department, permits are being secured in packages, like the bids.
Councilmember Milbrandt asked whether the final permit would be subject to review, for
example by the HPC. Public Works Director Eckles said staff will do a building permit
review, that permit also goes to the State for review; the State review is the big
unknown, he said. Mr. Hickey said the incremental permit approach speeds up the
process. Councilmember Junker asked that the silt screening be checked on Third
Street; Mr. Hickey said he would check on that.
STAFF REPORTS
Fire Chief Glaser informed the Council that the department received a call from the
State Emergency Operations Center requesting that two firefighters be dispatched to
Cameron Parish, LA, under the Intergovernmental Agreement that the City signed about
City Council Meeting No. 05-19
October 4, 2005
two weeks ago. The two firefighters left on Monday, as part of Task Force 1. Only
personnel was requested; they will be deployed until Oct. 18. Tim Bell and John Nobles
volunteered for the duty. Chief Glaser also informed the Council that the Stillwater
Firefighters Association has received a Homeland Security grant in the amount of
$27,311 for firefighter health and wellness for physicals and exercise equipment. Wal-
Mart awarded a $600 grant for fire prevention activities. Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 9-
15, he reminded the Council; many activities are planned for the week, including the
annual open house on Saturday, Oct. 15.
Community Development Director Russell reported that a field trip for the Planning
Commission and Park Board was planned for Saturday, Oct. 8, at Liberty West to
review a proposed development area in the Phase 4 annexation area. A skateboard
demonstration is planned for the afternoon of Oct. 8 at the skateboard park from 2 to 8
p.m. A buckthorn removal project is scheduled for Oct. 22; Friends of Parks is
coordinating the removal project, he said. Mr. Russell also informed the Council that the
infill design committee has met on several occasions; a draft of proposed guidelines
should be completed in October so a public meeting could be scheduled in November.
The guidelines likely will be ready to go to the Council in December or January.
Public Works Director Eckles updated the Council on current projects. Schulenburg
Park play equipment has been ordered and should be installed within the next six
weeks. The sanitary sewer repair on Second Street has been completed; the remaining
restoration work should be completed within the next two weeks, he said. The Fourth
Street ravine project is about 50 percent completed. Deer Path has been completed.
Concrete rehab work on Pine and Myrtle is under way and progressing rapidly, he said.
Also work on Boutwell Road is under way and will continue for the next four to six
weeks. Councilmember Harycki asked that the final Schulenburg Park plan be
distributed to neighbors as was promised at an earlier neighborhood meeting. There
were several questions about plans for 2006 street projects.
City Attorney Magnuson updated the Council on the park dedication policy ordinance
scheduled for possible adoption at the 7 p.m. meeting. He said US Homes had an issue
with some of the language in the proposed ordinance. The ordinance removed
language that referred to wetlands as part of parkland dedication to be consistent with
other City regulations. In addition, the language requiring residential developers to pay
$500 per residential unit for trails with no credit if the developer built and developed
trails in kind were not changed, he said. The matter of the amount of park/trail
dedication that can be required is regulated not only by local requirements, but also by
State law and constitutional issues relating to takings. Staff felt this section should be
changed because it might be taking too much, he said. Suggested language provides
for the $500 fee per residential unit for trails, but provides for a credit for the actual cost
of in-kind trail improvements actually built and dedicated by the subdivider; cost
includes the cost of the land dedicated for trails and the cost of construction.
Councilmember Junker asked if sidewalks were considered trails in this policy. City
Attorney Magnuson responded that sidewalks do not count as trails. Councilmember
Milbrandt asked about the possibility of the credit exceeding the $500 per dwelling unit.
Mr. Russell explained that if trails aren't provided, then the $500 per unit is required.
Councilmember Milbrandt expressed a concern that the language would provide
Page 2 of 12
City Council Meeting No. 05-19
October 4, 2005
developers with a mechanism to reduce the amount of parkland dedication. It was noted
the proposed language pertains only to trail dedication. Councilmember Harycki asked
about the responsibility for determining the cost for in-kind trails; he suggested the
language be tweaked somewhat. Councilmember Polehna asked whether standards
had been adopted regarding trail construction; Mr. Russell responded in the affirmative.
It was suggested that adoption of the ordinance be tabled until the final language is
formalized. Mr. Magnuson said that would be an acceptable course of action.
Mayor Kimble recessed the meeting at 5:15 p.m.

PETITIONS, INDIVIDUALS, DELEGATIONS & COMMENDATIONS
Mayor Kimble invited residents to attend the skateboard demonstration scheduled for 2-
8 p.m. on Oct. 8 at the City's new skateboard park. He also informed residents of the
buckthorn removal project scheduled for Oct. 22; those interested in helping should
meet at Hope House at 11 a.m. Fire Chief Glaser reminded the public of Fire
Prevention Week and highlighted activities that are planned, including the Oct. 15 open
house at the Fire Department.
OPEN FORUM
Jack Doerr, Oak Park Heights Council and chair of the League of Minnesota Cities'
annual conference planning committee, urged the Council to attend the December
conference and reviewed some of the conference topics and speakers.
Rick Hill provided some feedback on the citywide garage sale and thanked the Council
for allowing the event to occur. He also thanked Oak Park Heights for additional
barricades as well as corporate sponsors. The sale resulted in $12,246 in support of the

PUBLIC HEARINGS
This is the date and time for a public hearing to consider the proposed assessment for Fire
Cleanup Service (LI 368) at 324 Wilkins Street. Notice was mailed to the affected property
owner and published in the Stillwater Gazette on September 14 2005
City Administrator Hansen said the proposed assessment is for the fire cleanup at this
address. Total cost of the necessary cleanup was $5,104.25. The proposal is for afive-
yearassessment at a 5.25 percent interest.
Mayor Kimble opened the hearing; no comments were received, and the hearing was
closed.
Motion by Councilmember Harycki, seconded by Councilmember Milbrandt, to adopt
Resolution 2005-216, Resolution Adopting Assessment for Fire Clean Up Service LI 368.

Revenue Bonds by the Colorado Health facilities Authority on behalf of the Evangelical
Lutheran Good Samaritan Society. Notice was published in the Stillwater Gazette on
September 16. 2005.
City Administrator Hansen explained the City is simply the host community. There is a
requirement the host City holds the public hearing and approves the issuance of the
bonds. The bonds are not issued in the name of the City and there is no obligation on
the part of the City.

Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing. No comments were received, and the hearing was
closed.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to adopt
Resolution 2005-217, Resolution Consenting to the Issuance of Revenue Bonds by the
Colorado Health Facilities Authority on Behalf of the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan
Society.
Ayes: Councilmembers Harycki, Junker, Milbrandt, Polehna and Mayor Kimble
Nays: None
Case No. SUBN/05-41. This is the date and time for a public hearing to consider a request
from Jeff and Heather Swanson for a request for a subdivision of one lot of 14 982 square feet
into two lots of 7,491 square feet each and a variance to the lot size regulations (7 500 square
feet required) in the RB, Duplex Residential District at 203 St Croix Avenue.
Community Development Director Russell reviewed the request. He noted the Planning
Commission felt the 7,500 square-foot lot standard should be maintained and denied
the request on a 5-1 vote.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing.
Jeff and Heather Swanson, property owners, appeared. Mr. Swanson noted the
property was originally platted to be 15,000 square feet and when surveyed came in 18
feet short. He explained the intent is to build a new home, which they would occupy, on
the new lot as the existing home does not meet the needs of their growing family. He
said they have contracted local architect Dale Mulfinger to design a home that will fit
with the character of the neighborhood; rough designs were included in the agenda
packet.
John Shinn, 202 Ridge Lane Drive, spoke against the request. Quality of life, he said, is
maintained by adhering to standards and regulations.
Andrew Jenks, 1209 Second St., opposed the variance request. Variances should be
granted only for very clear and defensible reasons that benefit the community or
address severe hardship. There is no hardship here, he said. There also is no
community benefit; it will increase the density of the neighborhood, not a benefit.
The hearing was closed.
Councilmember Junker said he had checked the County's web page and found 7
properties within a block of the area in question and seven homes ranged from 7,120
square feet to 7,310. He said he would like to see the lot split so one lot is in compliance
at 7,500 and the other is 7,482, with no other variances allowed. Mayor Kimble pointed
out that every existing house in the neighborhood is likely short of the required 7,500
square feet. Councilmember Harycki expressed a concern about where to draw the line;
he also suggested some of the properties Mr. Junker found were houses built before the
minimum lot sizes were adopted and were grandfathered in. Councilmember Harycki
Page 5 of 12
City Council Meeting No. 05-19
October 4, 2005
said he was concerned about eroding the standard lot size. Mayor Kimble suggested
approving the platted amount of 15,000 square feet; he pointed out the previous
applicant would have been allowed to subdivide the platted property without a survey
but had a survey done in the spirit of cooperation. Councilmember Milbrandt agreed
with concerns but said it didn't make practical sense to deny the request to build a home
that will fit into the character of the neighborhood over a discrepancy that amounts to
the size of a lawn chair. Councilmember Polehna spoke in favor of supporting the
Planning Commission's position.
Councilmember Milbrandt moved to approve the subdivision. City Attorney Magnuson
suggested adding a condition for design review. Mr. Milbrandt accepted that condition
as an amendment to his motion. Councilmember Junker seconded the motion but asked
that the motion be to approve the subdivision with one lot of 7,500 and one non-
conforming. City Attorney Magnuson agreed that would be the best approach.
Councilmember Milbrandt amended his motion to approve the subdivision of one lot of
7,500 square feet and one non-conforming with the condition that the new structure
goes through the appropriate design review process. A straw vote was taken on the
approval and the City Attorney was directed to prepared findings of fact for approval by
the Council at the next meeting.
Ayes: Councilmembers Junker, Milbrandt and Mayor Kimble
Nays: Councilmembers Harycki and Polehna
Case No. SUBN/05-54. This is the date and time for a public hearing to consider a request
from Scott Junker for a subdivision of a 22,500 square foot lot into two lots; Lot A - 10 000
square feet with an existing residence and Lot B - 3,700 square feet developable with a
variance to the developable lot area (10,000 square feet required) for the construction of a
residence with shared driveway access from North Fifth Street located at 1913 North Fifth
Street in the RA, Single Family Residential District.
Community Development Director Russell reviewed the staff reports. The variance
issue is that of the developable amount of lot B; a second issue, he said, is access to
the second lot. He reviewed maps and proposed driveway access.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing.
Yale Norwick spoke in favor of the project. He noted the new lot is 12,500, more than
the minimum required. He noted only a small portion of the new house would be
constructed in the sloped area; he also noted slope issues can be mitigated. He also
suggested that it is not the applicant's responsibility to provide green space for
neighbors. He spoke of the advantage for adding to the tax base and an asset to the
community. He further noted that slopes are a statutory reason for considering hardship.
Brad Wheeler, 1902 N. Fourth St., spoke against the project, calling for the City to abide
by the lot size minimum and slope setbacks, pointing to the potential for a number of
similar requests in the adjacent neighborhood.
Page 6 of 12
City Council Meeting No. 05-19
October 4, 2005
Claude Clavette, 1912 N. Fifth St., called for the City to abide by the current ordinance
and not try to pack in a lot of houses.
James Purcell, 2001 Hazel Court, questioned the hardship involved. He spoke of the
setback requirements from sloped areas and asked why this request was even being
considered. He also noted the lot size is less than 40 percent of the minimum
requirement.
Terry Scully, 1901 N. Fourth St., expressed his objection to cramming multiple houses
into lots that are inconsistent with the existing neighborhood and that are significantly
less than the statutory minimum. With the recent completion of the North Hill
infrastructure project, he also expressed concern that speculative development efforts
will result in overbuilding and diminish the quality of the neighborhood.
The resident of 1912 Fifth St. N. spoke against the project, saying she preferred things
as they currently are.
Dick Paukert, 303 W. Hazel, suggested the Council would be faced with many similar
development requests if this is approved.
Mayor Kimble closed the public hearing. Mr. Russell explained the slope regulations
and how they apply to subdivision requests. Mr. Russell also spoke of the reasons for
the conservation regulations, which were adopted in the mid-1990s. Councilmember
Junker noted there are many houses in the North Hill that are located on steep slopes.
Councilmember Milbrandt suggested this request is a matter of compounding variances
and exceptions and he said the exceptions were too great for him to accept.
Councilmember Milbrandt also suggested approval would result in creating an artificial
hardship. Councilmember Polehna said he had visited the site and thought the slope
was way too steep.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Harycki to take a straw vote
to deny the request and direct the Attorney to prepare findings of fact.
Ayes: Councilmembers Harycki, Milbrandt and Polehna
Nays: Mayor Kimble
Abstention: Councilmember Junker
Case No. SUBl05-55. This is the date and time for a public hearing to consider a request from
Richard and Leah Peterson for a resubdivision of Lot 2, BIk1 Cochrane's Long Lake Addition
into two lots Parcel A - 20,858 square feet (new lot) and Parcel B - 46,972 square feet
(existing house) located at 7160 Mid Oaks Avenue in the LR Lakeshore Residential District.
Community Development Director Russell reviewed the request. He noted the proposed
lot is conforming to the LR district. The Planning Commission recommended approval
with no conditions as being consistent with the LR and Comprehensive Plan, he said.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing. City Attorney Magnuson made part of the
record a letter from Tim Kelly of the law firm representing Wesley and Deidre Kramer.
Page 7 of 12
City Council Meeting No. 05-19
October 4, 2005
The letter requested that the City postpone its action for the full 120 days from the date
of application, during which time they hope for a court ruling reversing the City's
previous decision to rezone the property. City Attorney Magnuson said it was very
unlikely for a suit challenging a rezoning to result in findings favorable to the plaintiff and
also said there has been a no stay order preventing the City from taking action. City
Attorney Magnuson said therefore it would be inappropriate for the City to suspend
action. If an application is submitted that complies with all the City's regulations, there
are no grounds for denying it, he said.
Mayor Kimble opened the hearing.
Deidre Kramer, 7100 Mid Oaks, spoke against the proposal and enumerated seven
reasons for objecting: inconsistency with previous planning and decision-making;
neighborhood opposition; the legacy of the decision, e.g. property values; "fuzzy
thinking" that changes the character of the neighborhood; protection from bad
judgments; spot zoning. She noted that a year ago, they followed the process and
opposed the zoning change. When they failed in that process, the lawsuit was initiated.
She said the hearing regarding their suit is set for the first part of November.
Richard Huelsmann, 12610 N. 62~d St., spoke of the history of the annexation process.
He said the Kramers bought the property with the expectation that existing covenants
would maintain the properties in Mid-Oaks in the current state. At the time of the
annexation process there were many, many meetings during which township residents
were assured things would not change. It's unfortunate, he said, that former township
residents have to continually appear regarding issues that they were told would not ever
arise. The Petersons' proposal would substantially change the character of that
neighborhood, he said.
Richard Peterson, applicant, 7160 Mid Oaks, responded to several of the comments. He
noted that five of the 12 lots of Mid Oaks have always been part of the City. He also
noted that by statute zoning must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
And he noted that covenants, also by statute, expire after 30 years.
The hearing was closed. City Attorney Magnuson updated the Council on the court
action. The property is now zoned Lakeshore, 20,000 square feet lots. The subdivision
request is consistent with the regulations. Courts have been very clear that if a plat is
brought forward that complies with all regulations in every respect then the City's
obligation is to approve it, City Attorney Magnuson concluded. Councilmember Harycki
asked about "promises" made in the annexation process. City Attorney Magnuson said,
in his opinion, the City has been diligent in attempting to honor promises.
Motion by Councilmember Junker, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to take a straw vote
for approval with conditions, and directing the City Attorney to prepare findings of fact for
approval at the next meeting.
Ayes: Councilmembers Junker, Polehna and Mayor Kimble
Nays: Councilmembers Harycki and Milbrandt

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Possible second reading of ordinance adopting Park Dedication Policy
Based on the discussion at the 4:30 p.m. meeting, Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded
by Councilmember Junker, moved to table the second reading of the ordinance. All in
favor.
Council powers relating to Lonq Lake elevation
City Attorney Magnuson said this is a very complicated/technical matter. In essence, he
said, the question of who controls the elevation involves two sets of laws. The DNR has
the ultimate say over the elevation and does have the authority to change it. The DNR,
he said, is bound only to listen to City input. The Corps of Engineers also has some
jurisdiction, as well as Soil and Water Conservation District due to the potential impact
on wetlands. During discussion it was noted that the City could ask the DNR to raise the
level. Councilmember Milbrandt suggested that requesting any action by the DNR,
without the support of Brown's Creed Watershed District, would be a waste of time and
effort. Public Works Director Eckles said the previous process of setting the elevation
involved discussions with all the agencies and settling on the current elevation/system.
Mr. Eckles suggested that changing the elevation would be the same sort of process,
one involving all the jurisdictional agencies and Brown's Creek has indicated it is not
interested in pursuing any change for two years. There was a discussion of the
requirement to provide flood protection, specifically to those on the east side of the lake.
City Attorney Magnuson said if the water level is increased, the State would like an
agency to either own the property around a water body or obtain flowage easements.
There was a question as to whether the DNR or Watershed District would be liable for
the lack of 100-year flood protection. City Attorney Magnuson responded that would be
the case if one of those agencies changed the elevation/system on their own.
Councilmember Milbrandt asked about the discrepancy of the required setback from an
ordinary high water mark of 891.4, while the top of the weir is 889.8. Mr. Eckles said
there are many different definitions involved in establishing high water marks. City
Attorney Magnuson suggested the essence of the issue is that the interest in protecting
homes from flooding outweighs the desire to increase the recreational potential of the
lake. Councilmember Polehna suggested a workshop with Brown's Creek Watershed
District would be helpful; Councilmember Harycki suggested getting the DNR involved
as well. City Administrator Hansen was asked to set up a workshop with Brown's Creek
and DNR sometime in the near future.
NEW BUSINESS
Banner request -Simonet Furniture -Tom O'Brien
The request is to utilize a 4x6 banner during sales events. Mr. O'Brien said the banner
is used for eight sales a year.
Motion by Councilmember Harycki, seconded by Councilmember Milbrandt, to approve the
request. All in favor.

City Council Meeting No. 05-19 October 4, 2005
Banner request -Kitchens of Stillwater -Jim Brandon
Jim Brandon was present. The request is to utilize a 3x4 banner during construction of
the Lake Elmo Bank. Councilmember Milbrandt suggested working with Police Chief
Dauffenbach to avert the potential for traffic interference. There was a question as to
whether the sign would be on private property or County right-of-way.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to approve the
placement of the banner on private property. All in favor.
Possible approval of Aareement with Waste Management Inc. for solid waste and recycling
services and adopting resolution establishing a Monthly Rate Schedule
Director of Administration Knauss highlighted the proposed contract. All services would
remain as currently offered, she said, with the exception of recycling services. In the
proposed contract, recycling would be single-sort recycling, with all materials placed in
one cart. Due to the size of the new recycling containers, recyclables would be picked
up every two weeks, rather than every week as is currently done. The proposed rates
are a decrease of 50 cents per month per household on the taxable portion of the
services. For residents absent from the City 90 days or more, the fee would be reduced
from $5 a month to $0 a month. The contract, as proposed, is a five-year contract. With
the change in recycling service, the contractor would provide the new containers. Rates
would be stable for the five-year period unless tipping fees increase or decrease 7.5
percent, then either party could ask to renegotiate the contract. The fuel reopener was
removed from the contract, she explained. Councilmember Milbrandt pointed out that
the "snowbird" fee will not be zero as there is a County fee that will still be collected.
The new recycling service will begin in January 2006.
Councilmembers thanked Ms. Knauss for her work at negotiating a favorable contract.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Harycki, to adopt
Resolution 2005-218, Approving Agreement with Waste Management, Inc.

2nd and Nelson storm sewer proposal
October 4, 2005
Several proposals were received. The recommendation was to award the bid to
Bonestroo at a cost not to exceed $8,600.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Dunker, to adopt Resolution
2005-220, accepting proposal and entering into agreement with Bonestroo for the 2"d and
Nelson Street Storm Sewer Analysis.
Ayes: Councilmembers Harycki, Dunker, Milbrandt, Polehna and Mayor Kimble
Nays: None
Review & possible approval of Bonestroo Proposal to provide assistance in preparing a Lake
Management Study
Public Works Director Eckles said the request is to use Rich Brass of Bonestroo, who
helped the City with the McKusick Lake study, to assist City staff with the lake
management study. Proposed cost for Mr. Brass' services is not to exceed $2,000.
Councilmember Polehna said he thought it was premature to put a policy together
before seeing what other lake communities do.
Motion by Councilmember Dunker, seconded by Councilmember Harycki, to adopt Resolution
2005-221, accepting the proposal and entering into agreement with Bonestroo for the
assistance in preparation of a Lake Management Policy.
Ayes: Councilmembers Harycki, Dunker, Milbrandt and Mayor Kimble
Nays: Councilmember Polehna
Discussion on Riverview Drive request for sewer service
Public Works Director Eckles said staff has had discussions with several property
owners who are concerned about what might happen if their septic systems fail and how
much it might cost to hook-up to City services. He suggested a letter from City Attorney
Magnuson outlining the legal aspects of the City and County requirements for septic
systems to clarify the matter. The other question, he said, is whether to do feasibility
study and who should pay for the study. It was suggested that before a feasibility study
is ordered, discussions take place with the property owners. Mr. Eckles said staff had
met with the residents in question and his sense is that the three homeowners are not
real supportive of pursing any potential project. Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by
Councilmember Harycki, moved to direct City Attorney Magnuson to work with Mr.
Eckles in developing a policy relative to these three parcels. All in favor.
