Present: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Staff present: City Attorney Magnuson Community Development Director Turnblad Fire Chief Glaser Police Chief Gannaway Public Works Director Sanders Director of Administration Knauss City Clerk Ward OTHER BUSINESS Chamber of Commerce -Jennifer Severson Ms. Severson was unable to attend the meeting but asked Mayor Harycki to pass along news that the City has received a State grant for Minnesota's sesquicentennial celebration. The grant will be used for signage and banners in Stillwater, he stated. Comprehensive Plan Draft Background Report -Bonestroo John Shardlow and Tina Goodroad of Bonestroo/DSU presented the draft background report for the Comprehensive Plan. The presentation highlighted land use, parks, transportation, and natural resources and issues to consider related to those areas. The report/presentation also highlighted steering committee comments/issues. Regarding land use, Councilmember Milbrandt asked whether the issue of a possible new zoning classification for transition areas in the annexation area would be addressed; Mr. Shardlow said that issue would be addressed. Regarding parks, Councilmember Polehna asked whether the process will make recommendations regarding the types of facilities that should be included in certain parks; he also suggested that the process consider winter activities, as well as summer activities. Mayor Harycki asked whether the various athletic associations would be invited to participate in the planning process; Community Development Director Turnblad stated the associations would be invited to participate. Regarding transportation, Mayor Harycki asked whether the Manning Avenue improvements would be looked at in relation to the concept of Myrtle Street serving as a gateway to the community; Mr. Shardlow stated they are in the process of obtaining the City Council Meetings -07-13 June 5, 2007 Manning Avenue plans. Councilmember Polehna suggested that County Road 5 is more of a gateway than Myrtle Street and asked whether there would be consideration of possible improvements to that roadway; Mr. Shardlow said various alternative "gateways" would be looked at. Councilmember Milbrandt suggested that in addition to looking at the impact of a new bridge, the process should also look at the impact of the possibility of there being no new bridge constructed. In relation to natural resource issues, Mayor Harycki asked whether the two watershed districts would be involved in the process; Mr. Shardlow said the watershed districts would be informed and invited into the process. Councilmember Polehna suggested adding Twin Lake to the list of resources. Mr. Shardlow reviewed the schedule of neighborhood vision meetings. He stated this was the first of periodic updates to the Council. Surface Water Management Plan Update -Bonestroo Chad Voigt, Bonestroo, reviewed the draft of the City's surface water management plan. He noted that the surface water management plan, once adopted, would become a chapter in the City's comprehensive plan. The water management plan also is an implementation step for the Middle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization. Mayor Harycki asked if there was any formal process for public input. Mr. Voigt responded the Metropolitan Council defines so much of the plan and Watershed District plans, public input meetings have not been scheduled. Mr. Voigt also pointed out some of the more "meaty" issues related to surface water management is covered in the comprehensive plan process. There was a brief discussion about the definition of a lake versus a wetland, as Councilmember Milbrandt pointed out that both McKusick and South Twin Lake are defined as wetlands in the plan. STAFF REPORTS Public Works Director Sanders updated the Council on several street projects. He noted the contractor has been working on the trunk utility installation in the northwest corner of the City for the past several weeks, and work has been progressing relatively smoothly. The contractor for the street project has started work in the Van Tassel Drive area, and work on the lower Eagle Ridge Trail area likely will begin within the week, he said. Mr. Sanders said staff had met with School District officials regarding the easement on District property, and it appears the District is favorable to placing a trail in that area. He said the issue would be brought to the June 14 School Board meeting for approval. Mr. Sanders said when the project was designed; it was planned so that if approval were received from the School District and one other property owner, that section of the trail would be paved. Mr. Sanders noted the plans included options for a trail in the wooded area, subject to the School District easement, and a trail located along Eagle Ridge Page 2 of 13 City Council Meetings -07-13 June 5, 2007 Drive. If School District approval and approval of the affected property owner is received, the trail will be located in the wooded area rather than along Eagle Ridge Drive, he said. Councilmember Milbrandt said there was some concern at a recent neighborhood meeting about having the only option that of going into the woods, rather than continuing with a maintained path along Eagle Ridge. Councilmember Milbrandt suggested the possibility of having both segments of the trail, a wood chip trail through the School District property and paved trail along Eagle Ridge Drive. Councilmember Polehna agreed with the suggestion to both segments of the trail. There was a brief discussion about cost; Councilmember Polehna suggested there was a potential to have some of the work done by Eagle Scout candidates and/or other volunteers. Councilmember Polehna moved to do both segments of the trail in the area, a wood chip trail through the School District property and paved trail segment along Eagle Ridge Drive. Councilmember Milbrandt asked whether the Park Board could look at funding the paving of the loop portion of the trail segment. There was discussion about timeliness of the Park Board meeting. Councilmember Polehna agreed to amend his motion to include directing the Park Board to look at the possible funding of the paving of the loop segment of the trail in the future. Councilmember Milbrandt seconded the amended motion. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Sanders told the Council the Middle St. Croix WMO has established a citizen advisory committee and is looking for either a City staff member or watershed resident to participate on the committee. Mr. Sanders said he would put the information on the web site. The first meeting of the advisory committee is scheduled for June 20, he said. Finance Director Harrison asked for input regarding the schedule of budget meetings. Consensus was to adopt the earlier schedule of meetings, beginning with Aug. 7 and Aug. 14. Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Nyber~ to adopt the Option 1 schedule of budget workshops -August 7th, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m; August 14 4:30 to 10:00 p.m. All in favor.

Notices were mailed to affected property owners and published in the Stillwater Gazette on May 25, 2007. Community Development Director Turnblad reviewed the request and site. He noted the Planning Commission held a public hearing and found the proposed use similar to uses allowed with a special use permit in the BP-C District. Mayor Harycki opened the public hearing. No comments were received, and the hearing was closed. Councilmember Milbrandt noted the Planning Commission was unanimous in recommending that the special use permit be granted. Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt Resolution 2007-122, a resolution approving a special use permit and use determination for an Avis Rental Car Office to be located at 1674 Market Drive (Case No. 07-20), as conditioned. Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Case No. 06-49. This is the date and time for a public hearing to consider a request from Teresa Hegland and Greg Schlink, Brug„geman Construction Co, for an annexation, zoning map amendment and comprehensive plan amendment request from Bruggeman Properties for development of 18.3 acres into 45 single family lots located at 13210 75t Street and 13129 and 13199 Boutwell Road and any variances related thereto. Notices were mailed to affected property owners and published in the Stillwater Gazette on May 25, 2007. Page 5 of 13 City Council Meetings -07-13 June 5, 2007 Community Development Director Turnblad reviewed the request for zoning map amendment, comprehensive plan amendment and annexation. If the land use requests are approved, he noted the applicant would present a preliminary plat for approval in the future. Mr. Turnblad reviewed the site and preliminary road alignments. He noted this request is the same as reviewed and tabled, at the applicant's request, last fall. He noted that the Council's primary concern during the earlier consideration was that the street network in the area didn't seem sufficient to handle the traffic that would be generated by the proposed development, as well as the fact that the City was about to embark on a process of updating the comprehensive plan that would look at future road networks. At that time, the Council suggested that the developer wait for about 20 months, until the comprehensive plan update process is completed. Mr. Turnblad stated the Joint Board had also reviewed the proposal and had concerns about the timing of the annexation, but approved the proposed annexation on a split vote. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposal in May 2007, found no compelling reason for annexation at this time, and recommended denial by unanimous vote, he stated . Mayor Harycki opened the public hearing. Greg Schlink, Bruggeman Construction, White Bear Lake, and Paul Schroeder, consulting planner for Bruggeman, addressed the Council. Mr. Schlink noted Bruggeman has worked with the City on this proposal for 8 years, has complied with every request made by the City and meets all the requirements for early annexation. He pointed out the traffic improvements called for in the South Boutwell Area Plan have been completed and traffic studies indicate that the existing infrastructure is adequate to handle the proposed development. He noted that the Council has made no decision regarding the possible extension of Neal Avenue, and although that extension would be off their property, the plans do accommodate a possible extension of Neal if that decision is made in the future. He further noted that the plan complies with the revised Boutwell South Area Plan in all respects and suggested that further delay would accomplish nothing. Mr. Schroeder reviewed the history of the project. He noted that Bruggeman, along with the City, has participated in and funded the studies of the South Boutwell Area, believes that the requirements have been fulfilled and that the City has enough information to approve the request for annexation, land use change and comprehensive plan amendment. He stated Bruggeman has documented the process and has been patient in following appropriate procedures and recommendation. He noted this proposal does not include apre-plat design, but a site plan was prepared to assist the City in reviewing options for the Neal Avenue extension. He noted that City staff previously recommended annexation and the Joint Board approved the proposed annexation last fall. He, too, noted the request meets all the requirements for annexation. He further noted the proposed density meets the recommendation of the revised South Boutwell Area Plan, and all the recommended traffic improvements called for in the South Boutwell Area Plan have been completed. He also reviewed aspects of the plan that Page 6 of 13 City Council Meetings -07-13 June 5, 2007 address issues related to the possible Neal Avenue extension, and noted that the plan is flexible regarding Neal Avenue options. Mayor Harycki opened the public hearing. Gary Jacobson, 198 Northland Ave., expressed a concern about traffic flow, and stated he was totally against the project. Kitty Johnson, 190 Northland Ave., also expressed a concern about traffic. She noted that last fall the Council asked the developer to wait until the comprehensive plan update was completed. She stated that there is no doubt that the proposed development will increase traffic and urged the Council to wait until the comprehensive plan addresses issues such as traffic flow, infrastructure, ecological impacts, zoning and annexation. Tom Garley, 13295 Boutwell Road, reiterated concerns about traffic and said until there is a north-south connector; all of the traffic will end up on Boutwell. Greg Schlink, Bruggeman, pointed out that two traffic studies done for this property concluded that the infrastructure is adequate to serve the 45 lots proposed in this development. Gary Jacobson, Northland Avenue, disagreed with Mr. Schlock's statement and spoke of some of his personal experience with the traffic in the area. No other comments were received, and the hearing was closed. Mayor Harycki and Councilmember Milbrandt noted that nothing has changed since the Council considered the matter six months ago. Mayor Harycki noted that, as heard during the 4:30 session of the meeting, the comprehensive plan consultants are at work and the north-south connection is one of the issues that will be looked at. Mayor Harycki said making a decision on this request at this time could preclude options for that connection. Councilmember Milbrandt urged the Northland residents to get involved in the comprehensive planning process. Councilmember Nyberg said once the comprehensive plan is complete, the Council should be prepared to make a decision on the north-south corridor, an issue that has been on the table for many years. Councilmember Gag said he did not think there was a compelling reason to move forward with the proposal at this time with the comprehensive planning process going on. Councilmember Polehna said he would not be in favor of any additional development until traffic issues are addressed. Motion by Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Milbrandt to adopt Resolution 2007-123, a resolution adopting findings of fact, conclusions and order related to the denial of Annexation Petition, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, and Rezoning approval (Case No. 06- 49). Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Page 7 of 13 City Council Meetings -07-13 UNFINISHED BUSINESS June 5, 2007 Possible approval of resolution adopting findings of fact relating to Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development for a veterinary clinic on Outlot A, Liberty Village 3~ Addition located at the southeast corner of Co. Rd. 12 and 15. Community Development Director Turnblad noted that two weeks ago, the Council had a straw vote for denial and City Attorney Magnuson prepared findings of fact to support that decision. He stated the Council also has the option of approving the final plat and PUD and a resolution to that effect was included in the agenda packet. City Attorney Magnuson noted that at the last meeting there was a lot of discussion about the proposed use and the suitability of the use as a permitted use under the zoning classification of Village Commercial. Mr. Magnuson pointed out that the only items before the Council at the last meeting were final plat approval and final PUD approval, as the Planning Commission had determined the suitability of the use. Once the Planning Commission determined the suitability of the use, that determination became final after 10 days and there were no appeals. If the Planning Commission's decision regarding suitability of use had been appealed, then that issue would have come before the Council. Mr. Magnuson stated there was a concern by staff about the very limited grounds there are for denial of final plat and final PUD approval once the preliminary plat/PUD have been approved. Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg to adopt Resolution 2007-124, a resolution approving a final ~lanned unit development permit for property located at Lot 1, Block 1 of Liberty Village 4t Addition for the development of the Rivertown Animal Hospital (Case No. 07-18) and Resolution 2007-125, a resolution approving the final plat for Liberty Village 4th Addition (Case No. 07-18), as conditioned. Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Discussion on consultant selection for Eagle Ridge Task Force Public Works Director Sanders told the Council that 171 letters were sent out to residents in the Eagle Ridge neighborhood soliciting potential membership for the task force as directed at the last Council meeting. Twenty-one responses were received. He stated responses were divided by north side/south side and seven people were selected at random to serve on the committee. Mr. Sanders also said staff had looked at the possibility of hiring a consultant to facilitate the process and two proposals were received, one from Bonestroo and another from SEH. Councilmember Nyberg questioned the need to hire a consultant; Councilmember Milbrandt agreed with Mr. Nyberg's position regarding a consultant. Page 8 of 13 City Council Meetings -07-13 June 5, 2007 Motion Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Polehna moved to approve/appoint the seven members selected at random which are: Amy Zastow, Janet Stone, Sue Sorenson, Jill Murphy, Jackie Pulido, John Nolde and Bill Vezina. All in favor. Councilmember Gag questioned how the residents would be informed of the membership. Mr. Sanders said he would send out a letter to the entire neighborhood informing them of the membership. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg, moved to appoint Councilmembers Milbrandt and Gag to serve as Council liaisons to the committee. All in favor. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg, moved not to hire a consultant to mediate the committee process. All in favor. Councilmember Gag noted this is an emotional issue and he understood the reason for proposing the use of a consultant, but said he thought the task could be accomplished in-house. Councilmember Milbrandt suggested that the names of other residents who had expressed interest in serving on the committee, but who were not selected, be retained in case one of the appointees opts out of the process for some reason. Discussion on regulation of taxi operations City Attorney Magnuson noted that regulation of taxis takes a lot of time. He reviewed the history of taxicab regulation in the City, with the decision made in 1998 to discontinue the regulation. He pointed out that transient operators could obtain a City license, but once outside the City's jurisdiction, the City did not have much authority to regulate them. Another issue, he stated, is if a City resident hires a taxi outside of the City for transportation, once again the City has little authority to regulate that operator. Mr. Magnuson stated if there is a desire on the part of the Council to get back in the business of regulating cabs, staff could come up with a recommended format based on regulations enacted by other communities between 2001 and 2005. Mayor Harycki suggested there are other City ordinances that can address some of the issues that arise regarding the operation of cabs. It was consensus of the Council to take no action. NEW BUSINESS Possible approval of transfer of tobacco license from Twin Cities Stores, DBA: Oasis Markets to E & K Convenience, Inc., DBA: Neighbor Stop City Clerk Ward noted approval should be contingent upon approval of Police, Fire, Inspection and Finance. Page 9 of 13 City Council Meetings -07-13 June 5, 2007 Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt Resolution 2007-126, approving the transfer of ownership of the tobacco license from Twin Cities Stores, DBA: Food-N-Fuel to E & K Convenience, Inc., DBA: Neighbor Stop Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Possible appointment of representatives to meet with Lumberjack Days Festival Board Mayor Harycki said the LJD Festival Board has requested the appointment of Council representative(s) to meet with the Board regarding issues such as contracts and allocation of security costs, among other issues. Director of Administrator Knauss pointed out that she thought City Administrator Hansen would be interested in being a part of the discussions. Councilmember Milbrandt suggested that to get a new perspective of the issues, Councilmember Nyberg and Administrator Hansen be appointed to meet with the Festival Board. Councilmember Nyberg said he would be willing to serve as the Council representative. Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Gag to appoint Councilmember Nyberg and Mr. Hansen as representatives to the Lumberjack Days Festival Board. All in favor. Possible approval of special event -American Heroes Golf Classic -Oak Glen Golf Course - August 17 Don Buckrey, 4662 Weston Woods Way, White Bear Lake, provided information about the event, afund-raiser for wounded soldiers returning from Iraq. He said they would like to have a band or DJ playing at the event until midnight and organizers are requesting atwo-hour extension of the City's noise ordinance. He stated they are looking into the possibility of utilizing the parking lot at Stillwater High School and providing a shuttle service for the several thousand people expected to attend. Mayor Harycki asked if there were any concerns from Police and Fire. Police Chief Gannaway said as long as the parking arrangements are put into effect and other security arrangements are worked out, he would have no opposition. Fire Chief Glaser said he had talked with Mr. Buckrey and is confident issues of concern can be worked out. Councilmember Milbrandt reminded Mr. Buckrey to try to reduce the level of the music after 10 p.m. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Milbrandt to approve the special event and the noise variance. All in favor. Possible approval accepting bids and awarding contract for 2007 Seal Coating Public Works Director Sanders said bids were opened, with Allied Blacktop submitting the low bid of $218,668. He noted several other communities, including Bayport and Oak Park Heights, participated in the bid. The City share of the cost is $113,616. Page 10 of 13 City Council Meetings -07-13 June 5, 2007 $150,000 was budgeted for the seal coating, he said. Mr. Sanders requested that the Council add $25,000 to the contract in order to seal coat Curve Crest Boulevard west of Highway 5 and Long Lake Villas. Councilmember Nyberg pointed out there is an area behind the Lofts that is currently a dirt road, and there is concern about the amount of dust in the area. Councilmember Nyberg said the cost to seal coat that portion of road would be about $8,500, which would still be under the $150,000 budgeted for seal coating projects. It was noted seal coating this area would be a temporary measure until the levee project is completed. Mayor Harycki noted that the Corps had released funds for the levee project. There was discussion as to why applications of calcium chloride have not been successful in controlling the dust. Councilmember Polehna suggested asking the County about possible alternative dust control chemicals. Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt Resolution 2007-127, accepting bid and awarding contract for 2007 Street Sealcoat Project (Project 2007-06) with the additional $25,000 and to include working with the County regarding a different chemical application and if that doesn't work, adding the seal coating of the road behind the Lofts to the project. Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Nays;. Councilmember Nyberg Possible approval of street light plan and maintenance agreement for light at Osgood Ave. and 6~ Street Public Works Director Sanders informed the Council that a proposed trafficlight is being installed in conjunction with the Washington County Government Center expansion project. There is no cost to the City, other than the share of the monthly electrical costs, which would be $20 per month. Motion by Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, Resolution 2007-128, approving county project within municipal corporate limits and Resolution 2007-129, approving the maintenance agreement for traffic signal on 62"d and Osgood Streets with Washington County. Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Possible authorization for 2007 Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project feasibility study Public Works Director Sanders explained that $50,000 has been budgeted for this year's sidewalk rehabilitation project and approval is sought to prepare a feasibility report. Page 11 of 13 City Council Meetings -07-13 June 5, 2007 Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg to adopt Resolution 2007-130, resolution ordering preparation of report for the 2007 Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project (Project 2007-05). Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Possible approval to purchase 800 MHz portable radios Police Chief Gannaway reviewed the request. He noted that Washington County is anticipating switching to the 800 MHz system. He stated the City has an opportunity to purchase portables at this time at a discount and savings of about $9,900. The total for 33 portables would be $67,144, he said. He stated the portables would not be activated until the County system becomes operational in mid-summer, early fall 2008. Councilmember Milbrandt noted that technology likely would change in 15 months or so. Chief Gannaway noted that his predecessor had budgeted money to purchase half of the required units this year and half next year, and the request just speeds up the purchase by a couple of months. Fire Chief Glaser told Council that the County is looking at activating the system in June of 2008; the City's Fire Department has already purchased its units utilizing grant money. Motion by Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to approve the purchase of the radios as requested. Motion passed 4-1, with Councilmember Milbrandt voting no. Possible approval to use $10,000 already budgeted for an Emergency Operations Center Chief Gannaway explained that the Police Department had purchased a vehicle from FEMA, which is being retrofitted to serve as a mobile command post. The Department has been offered some grant money from Washington County Emergency Management. He stated $10,000 has been budgeted for the project, and that while he did not have a specific cost, he was sure it would not exceed the $10,000 plus what the County has offered. The cost to date is estimated at about $9,000. Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg to authorize Chief Gannaway, in conjunction with City Administrator Hansen, to make expenditures not to exceed $10,000 to get the emergency operations center up and operational. All in favor. COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS Councilmember Gag commended the Police Department for the recent bike rodeo. Councilmember Polehna noted the second lift had been put on Boutwell Road and stated he had heard many positive comments about the bike trail.
