Nays: None
Response to Mike Robinson's comments on the Arndt Variance regarding the reconstruction Of.
an existing residence at 838 West Willard Street. Case No/ 00-054.
~
Community Development Director Russell explained the "footprint" rebuilding as original
except for the northeast portion that has no effect on the property line in question. The rear
addition and the front porch do not equal 50%~ the structure and therefore nonconformity was
not increased.
Mr. Mike Robinson then approached the Council to explain his position regarding the 50%
position. He also stated that his argument related to the permitting and variance process that is
re,s.,uired by city code and that he questioned if this was a problem. Mr. Robinson stated that the
improper application of the City Code could result in the failure of citizens to obtain the due
process that is guaranteed by our constitution.
Mayor Kimble stated that he believed that due process was followed and that if any violations
had occurred in regard to the setback issue in this case that the property rights of others were not
adversely affected. Council concurred and accepted the report and findings submitted by staff.
Consideration of an offer to purchase land from the Railroad south of downtown from Nelson
Street to Sunnvside Mariana.
"
Community Development Director Russell stated that the Union Pacific Railroad Company .
would consider an offer of $210,000 with the reservation of track easement, air rights and the
City hold the Railroad harmless for all costs and liabilities including environmental, if any. The
Railroad must reserve air rights to control the height of the overpass if it ever is developed. Mr.
Russell stated that although this seems like a lot of money, the funds are available and that the
Railroad still has the rights to keep the tracks on the property and that it is difficult to get an
order to abandon the railroad as the permission has to come from the Federal Government even
though the railroad has no intention of using this rail.
The question arose as to who would have to maintain the rails and eventually remove the rails.
Mr. Russell stated that if the railroad ever wanted to run a train again that they would be
responsible for any repairs, not the City. The rails would possibly have to be removed by the
city if the right of way was vacated or perhaps the railroad would.
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Thole adopting Resolution No.
2000-293, authorizing the Purchase land from the Union Pacific Railroad south of downtown from
Nelson Street to Sunnyside Mariana and directed the City Attorney to work with the Railroad on the
purchase of the property.

NEW BUSINESS
Request for City Council consideration of private streets within Liberty attached housing
townhouse project.
Community Development Director Russell reviewed the applicant's request with Council.
Councilmember Thole stated that he felt this approval of this request would result residents from
this area coming to the Council in the future requesting that the street become public. It has
happened in the past not only in Stillwater but in other cities as well.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing.
.
Mr. Michael Noonan of Minnesota division of Rottlund Homes explained that what is being
proposed is the provision of a 24 foot and 28 foot public road within a 50 foot road allowance to
provide internal circulation within the development. Off of the public road, a proposal for the
provision of three private drives affording access to the parking garages of the development's
units. Mr. Noonan believes that this proposal is convenient and safe for the passage of vehicles,
including emergency vehicles and that the mix of public roads and private drives is consistent
with the practice followed by many other municipalities throughout the metropolitan area. The
development will be platted as a condominium. Mr. Noonan said that he proposes that the
condominium documents (the declaration and disclosure) indicate that all private drives are
owned by the Condominium Corporation and that the corporation is responsible for all care and
upkeep of the private drives. The documents are to include a clause that states that a request will
not be made by either unit owners or the Corporation to have the municipality assume ownership
and responsibility for the development's private drives.
There was lengthy discussion regarding the city's responsibility for the road maintenance and
possible future assessments and how those assessments would be made against the units. The
question of some units not having road frontage but only alley access was questioned as to any
future assessments. The question of quest parking was addressed. The question of maintaining all
utilities would be the responsibility of the Condominium Corporation. Who was to be notified as
to City correspondence was addressed and it was agreed that the corporation could be notified
for the condominium.
It was expressed by the Fire Department that it was uncomfortable with the 24-foot streets as it
relates to parking. It was suggested that the developer work with city staff in regard to ,all safety
Issues.
.
The suggestion that there be private signage for the roadways was addressed and requested and
that all roadways would be private and not any public roadways. Councilmember Cummings
7
City Council Meeting No. 00-23 November 7, 2000
thought that a mix of roads would be wrong and that the roads should be all private or all public.
The consensus to require private roadways was favored and the developer was requested to work
with city staff and the attorney on the issue that all utilities be private. It was also stated that all
roadway meets Fire Department needs. .
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Thole adopting Resolution No. 2000-
296, approving the designation of all utilities and roadways as private within the Liberty on the Lake,
Townhouse Block, subject to meeting the needs of the Fire Department, the City Attorney and City Staff
working with developer to insure that prospective owners are aware that the street and utilities are
private. All in favor.

certain real property ("Property") in Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota.
The undersigned will recommend to Seller's Management a sale of the Property on the
following terms and conditions:
1. Description of Property:
.
1.1.
The Property is approximately 4.617 acres as shown on the print attached hereto as Exhibit
A and made a part hereof. The legal description of the Property will be determined by Seller
from existing deed and title records, if possible. If a survey is required, it will be at the sole
cost and expense of Buyer.
2. Sale Price:
2.1. The sale price ("Sale Price") for the Property shall be $210,000.00.
(a) computed as follows: (4.617 acres X $45,484.00 = $210,000.00). The Area is
subject to certification by our Manager-Descriptions and any adjustments to the
Area will be prorated in determining final Sale Price.
3. Feasibility Revie,vfRight of Entry:
3.1. For thirty (30) days from the date of execution of this Agreement by Buyer ("Feasibility
Review Period"), Buyer and its agents and contractors may enter upon the Property to
perform environmental audits, soil tests, engineering and feasibility studies of the Property.
T f the results of such audits, tests or studies, or Buyer's review of title or any other matters
relating to the Property are unsatisfactory, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving
Seller written notice before the end of the Feasibility Review Period. If no such written
notice of termination is given before the end of the Feasibility Review Period, the Property
.
Approved by La\\ 05/11100
,.

then Buyer shall surrender to Seller copies of all audits, soils, engineering and any other
reports prepared for Buyer pertaining to the Property and such reports will become the sole
property of Seller without cost or expense of Seller and this Agreement will terminate .
without any further force and effect, and without further obligation of either party to the
other.
3.2. Buyer's right to enter upon the Property pursuant to Section 3.1 is subject to the following:
(a) Buyer will indemnify, defend and save harmless Seller and/or Seller's affiliates
(Seller's affiliates means any corporation which directly or indirectly controls or is
controlled by or is under common control with Seller), their officers, agents and
employees, against and from any and all liability, loss, costs and expense of
whatsoever nature growing out of personal injury to or death of persons
whomsoever, or loss or destruction of or damage to property whatsoever, where
such personal injury, death, loss, destruction or damage arises in connection with
the entry upon the Property by Buyer, its agents or contractors prior to Closing.
(b) Buyer and Buyer's agents and contractors (collectively "Contractors") will maintain
in confidence all information, reports, and evaluations generated in connection with

Attention: Steve Russell. Planning Director.
aept4JD.: Trail PIu.
Dear Mr, RuaeeU,
I was a bit shocked to see that the public meeting on the Trail Plan is being
held during a Holiday week, and to see it was not even listed in the Council
agenda published in the Qazette Monday evening.
Since many of those with concerns will be out of town for the holidays, I am
faxing you oU%' concems and requesting that they be copied for and shared
with the Council and other Commissions.
I believe the Trail Plan still shows a trail going through my front yard. I do not
see the trail going through all the other front yards on the other properties on
Long Lake. We are strictly opposed to this portion of the plan, as it is
obviously discriminatoJy. I recall at earlier meetings how conr.-emed
Commi8sion people were that no trails went through their yards on Lily Lake.
I believe the Plan also depicts disturbing the DNR Wildlife Preserve with trails.
When the land was donated to DNR) no such future usage beyond its current
usage wae allowed. We are opposed to this unwarranted disturbance of the
DNR Wildlife Preserve.
The plan is unclear a8 to the future of the -Walking- path on the West side of
Long Lake. Since there are deed restrictions (to be used for a -Walking Path"
only) on the land donated for that pathway, the City Officials should honor
that donation agreement, and the Plan should clearly restrict that path from bikes, skateboards, etc., except for strollers and handicap conveyances.

employment agreements for the City Administrator position and you will probably need to have
one for the next Administrator.

Attention: Steve RusseU, Planning Director.
.,atdJq: Trail PIaD
Dear Mr. Ruaaell,
1 was a bit shocked to see that the public meeting on the Trail Plan is being
held durini a Holiday week, and to see it was not even listed in the Council
agenda publiehed in the Gazette Monday evening.
Since many of those with concerns will be out of town for the holidays, I am
faxing you our concerns and requesting that they be copied for and shared
with the Council and other Commissions.
I believe the Trail Plan still ebowa a trail goq through my front yard. 1 do not
see the trail going through all the other front yards on the other properties on
Long Lake. We are strictly opposed to this portion of the plan, as it is
obviously discriminatory. I recall at earlier meetings how concemed
Commission people were that no trails went through their yards on Lily Lake.
I believe the Plan also depict. disturbin& the DNR W"tldUfe Preserve with trails.
When the lancl was donated to DNR. no such future usage beyond its current
usage wae allowed. We are opposed to this unwarranted disturbance of the
DNR Wildlife Preserve.
The plan is unclear as to the future of the -WalkinS- path on the West side of
Long Lake. Since there are deed restrictions (to be used for a -Walking Path"
only) on the land donated for that pathway, the City Ofiicials should honor
that donation agreement, and the Plan should clearly restrict that path from
bikes, skateboards, etc., except for strollers and handicap conveyances.

Public Hearing on Comprehensive Trail Plan
November 15, 2000
Purpose: Present Comprehensive Trail Plan prepared by the City Community Development
Department with assistance from Parks Board and Planning Commission for City Council adoption.
Both City Board's recommend Council adoption.
Plan Overview. The Comprehensive Trail Plan provides the City with a trails policy statement and
proposed trail map showing where existing and proposed future trails should be located. Trails are
defined as sidewalks, separate paved or unpaved treadways and may serve communication,
recreation or education/interpretation purposes. Some trails may serve more than one purpose.
All City trails are multi use trails, open to non-motorized uses unless otherwise stated or regulated.
Prohibition of an non-motorized user group from City of Stillwater trails should be based on a
consideration of amount of use, actual user conflicts, trail design and surface type, sight distance and
enforcement and management of separate trail restrictions. The cost of construction, management
and enforcement of separate trails should be seriously considered before restricting any trail use on
of the trail system (see attached article).
The plan establishes the following goals to establish trail plan policies:
· Develop a continuous comprehensive "Walkable Community" system, including both on and
off-street routes that make bicycle and pedestrian travel a continuous ease of movement.
· Develop a system that traverses the community both east - west and north - south, and link the
local trail system to existing and proposed regional trails.
· Concentrate on providing safe pedestrian/bicycle access to downtown's historical district and
the Saint Croix River.
· Provide pedestrian access to both active and passive recreational facilities, as well as access to
Stillwater's natural areas.
· Ensure accessibility of transportation facilities in accordance with the spirit and requirements of
the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Various types of trails were examined. Some of the on-street bike paths would have to be retrofitted
to existing streets. This could result in elimination of parking on one or both sides of streets and
realignment of travel lanes. Separate trails are the preferred alternative for newly developed areas.
Separate trails are typically paved and multi-use. The recently developed Long Lake Villas, Legends
Mayor and City Council
Page 2

.
and Liberty areas contain separate paved trails. These are all multi-use trails meaning pedestrians
and other non-motorized users are allowed on the trails.
Areas of special environmental sensitivity may be designated for limited pedestrian use. A good
example of this is the Browns Creek natural area. Browns Creek, a sensitive trout habitat, is located
in this area. A DNR Greenway Grant was used to purchase the land. A natural resource
management plan has been prepared to restore and manage the natural area. Mowed pathways fit
in with the natural setting and sensitive environmental resources.
It has been advocated by some property owners and residents who live next to or use certain facilities
that they should be limited because of public safety or impact on property values. This contention
has not been established in practice.
Specifically, the trail plan calls for the Long Lake Trail between 62nd Street North and 72nd Street
North to be a paved multi-use trail. The Mulberry Ravine Trail shown in the Comprehensive Trail
Plan could be an aggregate base or asphalt trail. If an aggregate trail is used, maintenance would
increase and the trail would be susceptible to erosion and unusual maintenance expense and use
would be limited. Because of the street crossing, it could be difficult to use the trail for other then
pedestrian use. There does not appear to be strong neighborhood support for Mulberry Street Trail.
However, the trail has been recognized and proposed in the existing Comprehensive Plan and the .
proposed Trail Plan and provides a quality connection between McKusick Lake to the Downtown
area. Again, both the bodies charged with overall trail plan policy support a Mulberry Street Trail.
Other trails and sidewalks recommended by the Parks Board and Planning Commission as high
priority trails improvement include Curve Crest Blvd., Holcombe between West Pine and West
Hancock by the Junior High and CR 5 east of Pine to Brick Streets.
These areas have been considered previously for trail facilities but not improved for in part [mancial
reasons. These trail locations are high priority improvements for the neighborhood and overall
community. Other areas of improvement that may need additional detail study is McKusick Lake
Trail (south side) and Long Lake Trails (east side). Specific studies should be done to review the
natural resources and trail locations. Another key segment to the expansion area north-south trail
systems is located south of Boutwell. With this link, the trail system from Browns Creek Park and
trail system to Long Lake Villas would be complete.
The Comprehensive Trail Plan provides a City-wide view and policy direction for future trail
improvement through development review and the City CIP.
Recommendation: Consideration of Comprehensive Trail Plan and recommendation of approval
from Parks Board and Planning Commission.

--TRAIL MAINTENANCE and MANAGEMENT--
Separate Trails Divide; Shared Trails Build
Community
"'.
By Jim Hasenauer, International Mountain Bicycling Assoc.
We've been hearing a lot about separate mountain bike trails lately. The idea seems to appeal to a
number of people becau~e it purports to eliminate user conflict with other trail goers. Bicyclists
confronted with the choice between separate trails or total closure have sometimes accepted a separate
trail solution. I think mountain bicyclists should think carefully before endorsing this idea. It perpetuates.
the myth that bicycling is incompatible with other users; it threatens access to existing multiple use trail
systems and often, it unnecessarily leads to the overtrailing of an ecosystem best left wild.
. . Sometimes, the pressure for separate trails comes from other users who don't want bicyclists on "their
trails." They may be hikers who feel that their sweat equity has given them ownership or motorcyclists
whose green sticker money has actually paid for trail opportunities. Hoarding the thousands of miles of
existing trails, some have told bicyclists to go build their own. This country club mentality has no place
on the public lands and while bicyclists are willing to build and maintain trails, it makes sense for us to
do it with and for the benefit of all trail users.
.
Some land managers think separate trails will eliminate user conflict. It's commonplace in recreational
land management to separate incompatible uses. TIris philosophy need not apply. Responsible bicycle
use is compatible in most cases. When users know that a trail is multiple use, they expect to encounter
others. When users follow trail protocol, they can safely negotiate trail encounters. Besides being
unnecessary, monitoring and enforcing separate trails is a management nightmare.
Even if bicyclists and other users had separate but equal mileage (something I've never seen proposed),
they'd covet their neighbor's trails. Everyone would still want to see what the other. users were enjoying.
Trail users like to explore. Twenty miles of multiple use trail is worth more than two separate ten mile
sections.
From day one, IMBA has been an advocate of multiple use trails. This position is based on the following
beliefs:
1. Multiple use trails can best accommodate the needs of the most users. A generally open backcountry
disperses users across an entire trail system. Single use or restricted use trails tend to concentrate users,
increasing enviromnental and social impacts.
2. Multiple use trails help build a trail community by increasing the need for all users to cooperate to
preserve and protect a common resource. Encountering other users on a trail offers the opportunity to
meet and talk. Separate trails breed ill will, territoriality and rivalries.
.
3. Multiple use trails are most cost effective for land managers. They require fewer signs and less staff.
Monitoring and enforcement is simplified.

Maintaining 21st Cent Trails

4. Multiple use trails enable responsible, experienced users to educate outlaws and novices. Because
they share the same trail system, the opportunity for peer regulation is enhanced.
IMBA is aware that local conditions vary and that sometimes separ~te trails are a legitimate compromise.
solution to a management problem.
There are a couple of cases where separate trails make good sense. Large trail systems with very
crowded trailheads could have separate feeders. A designated mountain hike areacbuld allow experts to
race train without tp.e inconvenience of other users. Some very technical, trials-type sections might be
set aside for mountain bikers to hone their skills. Similarly, trails designated for mountain bike
beginners might allow for individuals to develop their trail riding abilities before joining other users on
the multiple use trail systems. It's hard to think of many other situations where separate trails offer any
advantages.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The goal for the City of Stillwater is to develop and maintain a city-wide interconnected network
oftrails to provide valuable recreational and transportation opportunities for City residents and
visitors.
Trails function as transportation links between schools, residential areas, parks, places of
employment, shopping areas, historic district, natural areas and other point of interest. Trails
also provide hikers, walkers, joggers, bicyclists and people with disabilities opportunities to
improve health and fitness, spend time with family and friends, enjoy nature and escape the
stress of daily life.
The current trail system has unfinished trails ortrails that don't interconnect, are not available to
primary destinations such as elementary schools or parks, do not meet modem design standards,
need a routine maintenance program and consistent signage.
The Comprehensive Trail Plan and map address these issues and provide an overall context for
trail planning. The emphasis is on multi-use trails with cooperation by all users.
Map 1 on the following page is the Comprehensive Trail Plan map. The map indicates where
existing trails are located and where future trails should be placed.
Comprehensive Trail Plan Policies are described on page 4. Other sections of the plan provide
specifics for the trail signage location, type, construction, and maintenance. A final section
suggests methods and opportunities for plan implementation.

INTRODUCTION - OVERVIEW AND PLANNING PROCESS
.
The Trail Plan for the City of Stillwater sets forth a Comprehensive Citywide Trail Policy and
long-term program to guide future planning, design and implementation of a trail system for
residents for recreational and non-automotive travel. Central to the plan is linking and
interconnecting existing and future developing neighborhoods emphasizing the downtown and
natural areas as focal points of community activity by providing better access. Additionally, in a
broader context, the Plan proposes linking the community-oriented trail system with the existing
and proposed Oak Park Heights, Washington County and State trail and Green Way systems.
For clarity purposes, in this Plan the term trail is used to reflect numerous possible configurations
of routes designed to accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists and other non-motorized users.
Throughout this plan, the term 'pedestrian' can refer to walkers, hikers, joggers, and wheelchairs.
Likewise, the term 'bicycle' can refer to all modes of people-powered transportation requiring a
hard, usually paved, surface. This group can include, but is not limited to, bicyclists,
rollerbladers, rollerskiers and skateboarders, etc. A trail may be an independent right-of-way or
easement with a surface of various types, width of 8 to 12 feet, or an existing or proposed
sidewalk or street designated by signage as a component of a bicycle or pedestrian route.
The Comprehensive Trail Plan is consistent with existing and future residential development
plans contained in the City's 1995 Comprehensive Plan. Through a process of surveying
existing roadways and trails, identifying destinations, adopting planning guidelines, and
proposing new trails, the Parks, Riverfront and Trails goals as outlined in Comprehensive Plan
. can be accomplished. These include:
· "Designate an extensive network of trails and pathway corridors."
· "Preserve and provide visual access to quality landscapes through trail location."
· "Provide alternative means to reach City parks, county parks, regional parks, state
parks and other community destinations."
· "Preserve and enhance public owned ravines."
· "Maximize the City's recreation opportunities."
Further, regional plans such as the Washington County Trail Program, the Brown's Creek
Wetland District, the City of Oak Park Heights and state-funded trails such as the Gateway and
Lake Links trails have been considered and anticipated in this Plan through trail location.
The Trail Plan stems from the community's increasing desire to enjoy outdoor recreation
opportunities and coincides with societal needs of reducing dependence upon the automobile for
travel. Walking, hiking, and bicycling are recreational activities that can be enjoyed by persons
of all ages and skill level, in either groups or as individuals. Based on a resident opinion survey
there is significant and increasing community interest in improving the walkway/pathway system
in and around Stillwater. Pathways add to the "quality of life" and "sense of community" ofan
.

area and provide a place for neighbors to meet. Stillwater residents are not alone in having a
desire for more walking and bicycling opportunities. Across the nation cities, town and villages
are adopting trail plans and developing trail systems for their neighborhood and residents.
.
The Trail Plan was prepared by the Community Development Department with direction and
assistance from the City Planning Commission and Parks Board. A series of public meetings
were held to obtain public input in developing the plan. Trail background information was
received from communities across the country. (Note references on page 16)
EXISTING CONDITIONS/THE NEED FOR A PLAN
The planning process began with a survey ofthe existing trailway network. This process
involved data collection from multiple resources including field surveys, aerial photography
survey, as well as data retrieval from recent sidewalk improvement programs. The data
compilation resulted in the map of existing trails (Map 2).
Pedestrians and bicyclists use existing roadways and trails, but consideration for pedestrian and
bicycle mobility is inadequate in some instances because bicycles are not provided for in new or
reconstructed roads. Study of the existing trails map began our analytical process. Fragmented
trails were identified throughout the network. Although the existing City (old Stillwater)
contains the largest amount of sidewalks, certain areas can benefit from the addition of new
sidewalks. The north hill (~5.5 miles existing, ~6.0 miles without), in particular, could benefit in
the same manner the south hill (~6.5 miles, ~3.0 miles without) did during their latest .
street/sidewalk reconstruction proj ect.
Another concern for sidewalks is the degree to which our existing sidewalks comply with the
design standards ofthe Americans' with Disabilities Act (ADA). ADA design standards such as
slope, cross-slope and curb ramp accessibility should be met in new projects. Many existing
sidewalks do not meet these standards and should be modified or rebuilt over time as projects
occur.
Our next examination was sidewalk and trail ways to-and-from elementary and junior high
schools within the school district required walking areas. Notice the walk area as the thin black
circular line surrounding the schools on Map 1. Students living within one mile of the junior
high and three-quarters of a mile ofthe elementary school are not bussed but are expected to
walk to school. When overlaying the required walking area over the existing sidewalk/trails
map, it is clear that much of the City falls within the walking area. Providing safe and
comfortable walking routes to-and-from schools should be at the forefront of future development
and improvement plans.
Beyond the 'old Stillwater' trail network lies various City and County trails that provide the
foundation for additional improvements. These existing "back bone" trails provide for necessary
linkages between the downtown, the expansion area, greenways and destinations outside the
City.

.
McKusick Lake, Long Lake and the St. Croix River are major recreational and visual attractions
to Stillwater. Therefore, educational and recreational opportunities along our the lakes and river
should be recognized and enhanced when possible. Circumnavitable trails around City lakes can
serve as passive recreation as well as provide an interpretive educational experience. The heavily
used trail along Lake McKusick provides a focus of activity for the immediate Oak Glen
community. The plan expands and builds on this trail with a continuous pedestrian trails
connecting the Downtown to the Brown's Creek Trail System.
No designated on-road City bicycle routes are located within the City. The County signs some of
their roads for bicycles. Stillwater contains large tracks of right-of-way and easement greenway
corridors with little designated public access. Communities could enjoy an enhanced natural
experience with designated access and trail ways through our greenway corridors. The
Croixwood area is a good example of this.
The Legends and Liberty developments are the first areas in a multi-phase annexation and
development programs within the City expansion area. As development occurs, developers are
required to provide trails as shown on the Comprehensive Trail Plan. Trails have been provided
according to the comprehensive plan in this area successfully.
.
As development occurs and Stillwater remains a focus for urban activity, the safety of our roads
for pedestrians and bicyclists is a growing concern. General traffic volumes are increasing. The
days of going for a leisurely county walk or jog along pastoral Boutwell Road are dwindling with
ever increasing traffic. Lack of space for trials is threatening safe recreation along Stillwater's
roadways.
Meeting trail users needs is a City-wide objective. This policy is a major part of increasing the
awareness and walkers and bicyclists as a legitimate transportation mode. Design standards
which safely accommodate users should be applied to new street and roadway projects. A cost
effective way to increase use levels is to make trail conditions safer for commuters.
OVERALL GOALS AND STANDARDS
The following goals and standards are established based on existing conditions, Board input and
the existing Comprehensive Plan. They are as follows:
.
Develop a continuous comprehensive "wa1kab1e community" system, including both on and
off-street routes, that makes bicycle and pedestrian travel a fun, safe and enjoyable
continuous ease of movement throughout Stillwater
Develop a comprehensive trail system that traverses the community both east - west and
north - south and link the local trail system to existing and proposed regional trails.
Increase levels of bicycling for commuting and utilitarian trips as a cost-effective and
efficient alternative in the transportation system.
Establish and maintain appropriate and safe standards and guidelines for bicycle facilities, .
programs, and projects.

· Concentrate providing safe pedestrian/bicycle access to downtown's historical district and
facilities along the Saint Croix River.
· Expand and link the trail system between neighborhoods and to major activity and work
centers in addition to local destinations throughout the City routing pedestrians and bicyclists
off major roadways wherever possible.
· Where adequate, uninterrupted right-of-way is available, separate bicycle paths can be used
to provide long, continuous routes for commuting or recreation trips, access to destinations
not otherwise available to trail users, and as cut-throughs between buildings and other breaks
in the street network.
· Provide pedestrian access to both active and passive recreational facilities, as well as access
to Stillwater's natural areas.
· Ensure the construction of trails in new development to provide for trail linkages consistent
with the adopted Comprehensive Trail Plan.
· The City should continue to complete and enhance the initially identified essential sidewalk
links in those neighborhoods lacking sidewalks.
· Ensure accessibility of transportation facilities in accordance with the spirit and requirements
ofthe Americans with Disabilities Act.
TRAIL DESIGN GOALS
Emphasis should be on maintaining existing sidewalks and adding new facilities in
residential areas where demand dictates.
Provide adequate road width on Stillwater streets to accommodate bicycle lanes where
separate bicycle lanes are not feasible.
Retrofit existing roadways to accommodate bicycles. Work with the width of existing City
roads to create designated bicycle lanes.
Encourage regional and state agencies to promote enhanced design standards for regional
trails passing through the City.
Coordinate local improvements with those of outside agencies to accelerate timing of trails
through the City.
Promote compatibility on multi-use trail using proper etiquette guidelines.
Adhere to Americans with Disabilities Act Guidelines.
SPECIFIC LOCATION GOALS
· Examine existing City bicycle lane signage.
· Examine potential trail sites noting their historical and natural setting such as the Minnesota
Zephyr right of way, City ravines, greenways and their ability to connect downtown and the
new expansion area.
· Integrate McKusick Ravine into the trail system as a natural extension of the McKusick Lake
Trail into the downtown.
· Establish trail within right of way to circumnavigate Lake McKusick and Long Lake.
· Establish dock-like or appropriate trail across Brown's Creek wetland to compliment the
Brown's Creek trail system behind the Creekside Crossing development.

THE COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL PLAN
A comprehensive pedestrian transportation system is vital for maintaining, appreciating and
enhancing Stillwater's local character as well as its economic base. A number of traffic studies
have effected the Stillwater area over the years. Stillwater, along with MnDOT, The Met
Council, Oak Park Heights and Washington County have all conducted detailed traffic analyses
and forecasts projecting accelerated traffic volumes on our roads for years to come. These
factors make an effective pedestrian transportation system an essential alternative to auto
transportation in the years to come. To enhance the overall system, trail users can function as an
essential component of the Stillwater Transportation Plan. As such, trails must be considered in
the planning process for all land use related decisions and in all transportation related projects.
The 2000 Comprehensive Trail Plan Map is presented as a complete network enhancing .
pedestrian and bicycle mobility throughout Stillwater. The intent ofthe trail system is to serve
both a utilitarian transportation function and a recreational function. A user study conducted by
the City found that the recreation uses of trails are greatly valued by Stillwater residents (1995
Comprehensive Plan). Other nation-wide studies indicate increasing interest for the utilization of
trails as an alternative transportation mode to the automobile. The major difference between the
two uses is that the primary objective ofthe utilitarian trip is to arrive at a specific destination as
quickly as possible with few interruptions, while recreational trips are generally more leisurely
and less direct. To provide for a trail system to accomplish both the utilitarian and recreation
functions trail alignments were assessed in relation to not only the natural features and
social/cultural features of the community but also the areas of opportunities for employment,
shopping and services.
Natural systems are those environmental features that offer attractiveness and interest to a trail
system. They also pose challenges to trail engineering in mitigating soils adverse to development
while meandering through woodland areas and around wetland and floodplain features. Trails in
conjunction with natural systems will generally be developed for recreational purposes.
Social and cultural systems represent the built environment of a community. The land uses
associated with these systems include residential neighborhoods, historical districts, shopping
and other commercial areas such as office parks, and public and quasi-public places such as the
Public Works Facility, City Hall, library, police/fire stations and other similar uses.
.

.
.
.
The Plan proposes to link these social and cultural features to the City's neighborhoods and to
the regional trail system as well. Major land use patterns and points of interest such as schools
and parks within the planning area are indicated on the Comprehensive Trail Plan Map (Map 1).
The Trail Plan provides access to employment, shopping, retail/service, commercial,
recreational, educational, and governmental destinations. In developing trail systems, existing
land use patterns along with future uses have been considered. The Plan has been developed to
provide trail direction for the twenty-first century.
DEFINITIONS
Trail. A place for pedestrian and/or bicyclists to move between two destinations. Trials may be
sidewalks, separate paved or unpaved surfaces, marked portions of a roadway. Trails may be of
several types: urban (sidewalks), recreational, natural/interpretive or barrier free.
Urban Trail. To provide both transportation and recreational links between residential areas and
schools, businesses, parks, neighborhoods and other areas of significant community activities.
Recreational. To provide primarily recreational links between residential areas or to recreational
sites.
Natural. To provide interpretation or educational opportunities along a common theme. This can
take the form of signage, brochures. Bicycles and motorized vehicles are prohibited.
Multi-Use Trail. A trail which is collectively shared by a range of users including but not limited
to walkers, bicyclists, hikers, joggers and wheelchairs.
Trailhead. The beginning or ending access point to a trail often accompanied by various trail
support facilities such as parking, bike racks, benches, drinking fountains, restrooms, entrance
gates and information signs.
TRAIL DESIGN OBJECTIVES
The City's objective is to design, construct and maintain trails that:
.
Provide safe, non-motorized transportation links and/or close-to-home recreation
opportunities.
Provide legal access to destination points and other areas of interest.
Blend with the surrounding environment.
Minimize impact on natural environment.
Minimize impact on adjacent landowners.
Require minimum level of maintenance.

TRAIL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
1. Human Factors. Trails must be planned and constructed with the needs of the trail user in .
mind. Trail users tend to desire routes that access and connect areas of significant
community activity such as schools, businesses, shopping areas, and parks, as well as other
areas of interest such as viewpoints, water sources, natural areas, desert preserves, scenic and
vista corridors, and interesting geologic features. Visual qualities are important to trail users,
therefore, trails should be designed to blend with the surrounding environment. Views from
the trail to the surrounding environment should also be considered. Trail users enjoy changes
in scenery, thus increasing the demand for loop trails and trail networks that allow the user
Return to the starting point without traveling the same trail twice. Loop trails also provide
the comfort of knowing that the trail will bring them back to the starting point, thus reducing
the chance of becoming lost. Trail users tend to favor the easiest, most obvious route. If the
designated trail is not the easiest, most obvious route, trail users will begin to create new,
unauthorized trails.
2. Coinciding Easements. Trails are frequently located within common tracts and easements
dedicated for other purposes such as drainage, flood control, public utility, natural area open
space, and scenic and vista corridors. In situations where these common tracts and easements
are wider than that needed for a trail easement, it may be advantageous to dedicate the same
area of these coinciding common tracts and easements for the purposes of public trail use.
. This will increase the flexibility to properly layout, design, and construct public trails, and
will allow the trail to be positioned away from undesirable areas such as low-flow wash
channels, areas extreme topography, dense vegetation, critical animal habitats, and adjacent .
properties. This will also allow future realignment of the trail, should such a realignment
become necessary. In cases where a separate trail easement is delineated within other
easements or common tracts, it is extremely important to the alignment of the trail easement
be reviewed on the ground to assure suitability.
3. Adjacent Landowner Privacy. The privacy oflandowners adjacent to trails and trail access
facilities is an important design concern. Privacy can be maintained or improved by
modifying the trail alignment, planting landscape buffers, installing walls, allowing grade
separations, or using a combination of these methods.
4. Trail Viewshed. The line of sight from a trail to the surrounding landscape, and from the
surrounding landscape to a trail are important design considerations. Views from the trail to
the surrounding landscape improve the quality of the trail users' experience, therefore, trails
should be designed to provide users varying views the surrounding area. Obscuring views of
the trail from the surrounding landscape is important to adjacent landowners who may not
want toview of the trail from their property.
.

5. Native Plants. The design, construction, and maintenance of trails within the City of
Stillwater shall take into account the natural communities. Trails shall be aligned to avoid
disturbance of, and have a minimum effect on the following plant species: whitethom acacia,
catclaw acacia, crucifixion thorn, hackberry, blue palo verde, foothill palo verde, desert
willow, juniper, ironwood, cottonwood, mesquite, scrub oak, sugar sumac,
arizona rosewood, saguaro, barrel cacti, ocotillo', and soaptree yucca.
6. Sensitive Wildlife Habitat. Trail design and construction within natural park areas should be
evaluated in terms of the effect that the trail will have on sensitive wildlife habitats. The best
means of preventing negative impacts on wildlife is to simply avoid sensitive areas. Seasonal
trail closures may be necessary in some situations.
7. Archaeological and Cultural Resources. Trail design and construction should be evaluated in
terms of the effect the trail will have on archaeological and cultural resources. Potential
options to prevent and mitigate damage to these resources include:
· Altering the trail alignment to avoid archaeological and cultural resources.
· Protecting the resources by utilizing methods to obscure them from view.
· Mitigating the cultural resource which involves removal and thorough documentation of
the items by a professional archaeologist. The documentation of the resource may then be
interpreted as part of the trail opportunity.
8. Design for Shared-Use. Trails within the City of Stillwater are open to all non-motorized
uses unless otherwise stated. Decisions to prohibit any non-motorized use from trails must be
based on coordinated planning efforts involving appropriate user groups, Parks Board and
City staff. Characteristics that should be considered as part of this process include, but are not
limited to, longitudinal and cross slopes, surface materials, line of sight, amount of use,
sensitivity of surrounding environment, soil types, and native plant and animal habitats.
The following means of preventing potential user conflicts are based on methods identified in
"Conflict on Multiple Use Trails" (Moore, 1994), and should be considered when planning,
designing, constructing, and maintaining shared-use trails:
Separate user types at trailheads and along the first, most crowded, stretches of trail.
Provide adequate sight distances.
Build trails wide enough to accommodate expected levels and types of use.
Build and maintain trails wide enough for safe passing and/or provide periodic turnouts
Design trails to control speeds where necessary by varying the trail surface and avoiding
long, straight downhill stretches.
Provide adequate trailhead facilities for all user types.

TRAIL SURFACES
Trail surface selection depends on many considerations, use, location, difficulties to construct,
and environmental effects. Typical pavement design for off-road multi-use trails should be based
upon the specific loading and soil conditions for each project. Trails designed to serve bicycle
transportation purposes should be composed of a hard surface such as asphalt or concrete. One
important concern for asphalt multi-use trails is the deterioration of trail edges. Installation of a
geotextile fabric beneath a layer of aggregate base can help maintain the edge of a trail. Some of
the common trail surfaces with advantages and disadvantages are listed below.

TRAIL MAINTENANCE
A trail maintenance program for the following conditions should be developed for all City trails.
Slough and Berm Removal. Slough (pronounced "sluff') is material that has moved downhill
from the backslope and been deposited along the uphill edge of the tread. This process causes
trail users to travel along the outside edge of the trail. The tread eventually narrows and moves
downhill from its original location resulting in an unsafe situation. The slough must be removed
to re-establish the proper backslope. The excess material may be used to fill holes in the trail
tread and re-establish the outslope, or to build up the downhill side of water bars. Berm is soil that
has built up on the downhill edge of the trail tread. Berm prevents water from flowing off the
side of the trail and allows water to channel down the trail causing erosion. A berm may also
cause nuisance water to pool on the trail surface resulting in soil saturation. Saturated soil is
damaged easily and forces trail users to detour around the area causing the trail to widen. Berms
should never be constructed intentionally, and should be eliminated whenever present.
Vegetation Clearance Maintenance. All plants encroaching on the vegetation clearance limits for
the particular trail classification must be cut back. Branches should be cut close to the main stem
without cutting into the branch collar. Plants being removed must be cut flush with the ground
and stumps must be removed to prevent safety hazards. All plants growing within the trail tread
must be grubbed-out. Trails within landscaped areas may be sprayed with herbicide. All removed
plant material must be scattered in a location not visible from the trail.
Tread Maintenance. In addition to slough and berm removal, the remaining trail tread should be
restored to its original design condition. All loose rocks, rock points, stumps, and roots
protruding from the trail surface should be removed. All holes should be filled to create a
smooth, obstacle-free trail tread. Maintaining a proper outslope is critical to the long term
condition of the trail.
Drainage Maintenance. Special attention should be directed to the maintenance of drainage
structures. These structures are extremely important in protecting the trail from erosion. If they
are not maintained properly, the trail will be prone to erosion, and may become unsafe for public
use and require extensive amounts of labor to repair. All repairs to drainage structures must
restore them to their original standard construction specifications.
Special Structure Maintenance. Structures such as waterbars, culverts, switchbacks, retaining
walls, wash crossings, overpasses, bridges, etc. are rather expensive and labor intensive to
construct. Proper maintenance will prolong the life of the structures and help prevent safety
hazards. Structures should be inspected annually and maintenance performed as needed. All
repairs to special structures must restore them to their original standard construction
specifications.
12
Sign Maintenance. Sign maintenance includes replacing missing or damaged signs and assuring
accuracy of the information on the signs, as conditions may change over time. Signs that are
damaged, weathered, or for any other reason do not serve their intended purpose should be
repaired or replaced according to the sign standards described in this manual.
.
TRAIL SIGNS AND MARKERS
Trail sign program consistent with the following standards should be developed for the City of
Stillwater trail signage.
Locations. The proper location of signage is important in maintaining the safety of trail users,
preserving the natural environment, and promoting the presence of the trail. The number and
location: of signs should be carefully considered, as a lack of signage or poorly located signs can
create hazardous situations for trail users. An overabundance of signs can also detract from the
aesthetics ofthe trail and decrease the quality of the trail users' experience.
Trail signs are typically located at trail intersections, locations where trails cross roadways, and
any other areas where it may be difficult to follow the route of the trail. Trail signs should be
placed 1.5' to 3' from the edge ofthe trail (see Figures 7.3-23, 24 & 25).
1. Sign Specifications.
a. Blanks
.
Sign blanks must be 0.080 gauge aluminum. Blanks must be covered with reflective
sheeting of street transportation quality vinyl. There must be 2 predrilled 3/8" holes. The
holes must be centered horizontally with the center of each hole being Y2" from the top and
bottom edges. Comers must be rounded with a I" to I Y2" radius, depending on the size of
the sign.
b. Lettering
Font must be Garamond (or similar style). Point size should be relative to the size of the
SIgn.
c. Colors
Background must be dark brown with reflective white lettering and symbols. There must
be a %" - W white reflective border.
d. Sign Mounting Hardware
3/8" vandal resistant steel drive rivets.

2. Sign Post/Anchor Specifications
a. Posts
Posts shall be constructed of 1 %" x 1 3/4" 12-gauge square steel tubing with 7/16"
pre-punched knockouts on I" centers. Post lengths must be 5' or 8'. All steel posts shall be
sandblasted with 100 grit sand and chemically treated to provide a natural looking "rust"
finish. The application of rust-colored paint is not acceptable.
b. Anchors
Anchors shall be 2" x 2" X 30", 12-gauge galvanized square tubing with 7/16" pre-punched
knockouts on I" centers.
c. Sleeves
Sleeves shall be 2 1/4"x 2 1/4" x 12", 12-gauge galvanized square tubing with 7/16"
pre-punched knockouts on 1" centers.
d. Anchor Assembly Hardware
3/8" vandal resistant steel drive rivets.
. e. Telescoping Properties
.
The finish post, anchor, and sleeve must be straight with a smooth uniform finish to allow
each component to telescope with each consecutive larger or smaller piece.
Installation. Sign posts are to be installed according to City of Stillwater Standard Detail. The
final height ofthe post should be either 3' or 6'. The height depends on the location of the post
and the signs to be placed on it. The 3' posts should be placed at trail intersections or areas where
it may be difficult to follow the route of the trail. The 3' posts are intended for combinations of
signs shown in Figure 7.3-24. These signs shall not exceed two per post. The 6' posts should be
placed in more prominent locations such as trail access points or major trail junctions. The 6'
posts are intended, for the larger sign shown in Figure 7.3-23. The triangular sign from Figure
7.3-24 or regulatory signs such as "no motorized vehicles" signs may be placed on the 6' post
below the larger trail sign. All signs are to be mounted to the posts with 3/8" vandal resistant
steel drive rivets.
Developer Provided Sign Standard. Developers may provide their own signage consistent in
color and theme with the surrounding development. At a minimum, these signs must
accommodate the triangular "Trail Courtesy" graphic, the "City of Stillwater Trail System" logo
and the standard hiker, equestrian, and mountain bicycle icons. These required signs may be
installed on the same post as developer-provided signs, or the graphics may be incorporated

Sign Maintenance. Sign maintenance includes replacing missing or damaged signs and assuring
accuracy of the information on the signs, as conditions may change over time. Signs that are
damaged, weathered or for any other reason do not serve their intended purpose should be
repaired or replaced according to the sign standards described.
TRAIL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
The following are a set of funding and implementation guidelines:
· Designate a percentage oftotal available roadway funds exclusively for provision and
maintenance of bicycle facilities. Average percentages designated for trailways range
between one and five percent in other cities.
· Provide consistent and on-gong funding for multi-use trails.
· Accelerate improvements for existing trails and construction of new trails.
· Acquire maximum available funding from State and Federal sources. The community should
make a commitment to increased non-motorized transportation use by committing a higher
percentage of state and federal funds to bicycle and pedestrian transportation.
· Include trail construction in City Capital Improvement Program.
· Require new development to plan trails to our standards.
· Generally follow the guidelines and standards set by MnDOT and ADA for the design of
trailways. Refer to Appendix A for MnDOT Planning Guide and Appendix B for ADA
Guidelines.
· Ensure the construction of trails in new development to provide for trial linkages consistent
with the adopted Comprehensive Trail Plan.

Other conditions are also described in the loan agreement.

County Public Health. Mr. Michels is requesting that the City pass a resolution supporting
Washington County's effort to obtain a grant for the completion of this study as well as
supporting a $10,000 contribution from the City of Stillwater for this project.
As part of the City's AUAR, it identified groundwater as a sensitive resource in the
expansion area. As part of the AUAR, the City made a commitment to participate in the
study in protection of groundwater. The 2001 budget process included $10,000 for .
participation in a Washington County Groundwater Study. Based on these facts,
Stillwater's financial participation in this groundwater resource assessment seems
appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends that the City Council pass a resolution supporting Washington
County's plan to complete a groundwater resource assessment. Also, the resolution should
indicate that the City of Stillwater is willing to contribute up to $10,000 towards this
project.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If the City Council agrees with staff recommendation, Council should a motion adopting a
resolution in support of the Washington County Groundwater Resource assessment.

Re: Proposed Groundwater Resource Assessment
Dear Mayor Kimble and Council:
Washington County is pursuing a proposal to conduct a "Groundwater Resource Assessment" in the North part of the
County. Attached is a proposal which outlines this project.
We are proposing that this project be funded with a State Grant from the Board of Water and Soil Resources
(BWSR) in combination with local funding from Watershed Districts, Cities and the County. Critical to obtaining
these grants is the ability of the local units of government to provide matching funds.
.
As Stillwater grows, there is a need to have solid understanding of the role of groundwater and surface water
interaction in the community. The proposed project will be designed to enable the County to provide Stillwater a
report and interactive databases to assist in planning for growth, water supply and well head protection strategies.
As you are all well aware, Stillwater has a special resource in Brown's Creek and the City has demonstrated through
the AUAR process and completion of protection projects, an ongoing commitment to this "groundwater dependent"
resource. This project will provide the City an extremely cost effective means of fullfilling and possibly exceeding
implementation strategies outlined in the AUAR mitigation plan.
It is proposed that Stillwater contribute $ 10,000 cash towards the total of $ 210,000 for this project. I am confident
the City will fmd that an investment in further refining their understanding of groundwater, its relationship to surface
water and the implications on long term growth extremely valuable.
Please review the attached proposal and I encourage questions or requests for clarification. I would appreciate a
response by December 1, 2000. We will need a letter of support and copy of a resolution of support to submit with
the application. According to the BWSR, the applications are due sometime in "early winter".
Sincerely,
~

PROPOSED
GROUNDWATER RESOURCE ASSESSMENT
NORTHERN WASHINGTON COUNTY
Back2round:
Groundwater provides a valuable function in providing drinking water and supplying area lakes,
wetlands and streams with a reliable source of clean water. However, groundwater has also
proven to be a problem in areas where high water levels have inundated roads, private property
and septic systems. Millions of dollars have been spent over the past few decades dealing with
groundwater/surface water issues. Information and data regarding groundwater, its relationship to
surface water, and the implications ofland use on water quality and quantity are a vital asset to
area planners and water resource managers. The groundwater flow system in Northern
Washington County is highly complex and the strong relationship between groundwater and .
surface water is poorly understood.
Proposal:
Based on the mounting and ubiquitous problems related to groundwater, projected increased
growth pressures, and the charge to Washington County to deal with these issues, a
"Groundwater Resource Assessment" is proposed to be completed for Northern Washington
County. It is proposed to bring water management units and local government units together in
collaboration with the County to conduct this assessment. Following is a summary of goals and
benefits that will be achieved from this project:
Goals and Benefits:
1. Goal:
Benefits:
-Develop Data and Understanding of surface water/groundwater
relationships.
-Provide planners and water resource managers with vital information.
- Provide data and information to evaluate mitigation efforts for
managing high and low water conditions.
2.
Goal:
Benefits:
-Identify groundwater recharge and discharge areas.
-Provide vital data to planners, resource officials and developers for
managing land use, storm water and natural resources.

Goal:
Benefit:
-Identify cross-boundary water issues.
-Aid in coordinating technical and policy issues between resource
managers and local officials.
-Develop a groundwater mode/to identify groundwater flow patterns.
~Aid LGU's, planners and resource managers in protecting water quality,
completing well head protection plans, and natural resource management.
-Refine the understanding between precipitation patterns and
groundwater levels.
-Provide data to planners and resource managers to plan for long range
climatic influences on the hydrologic system and landscape.
-Develop a comprehensive, interactive groundwater data base and
framework for a base level of technical support from Washington
County.
-Provide the main data elements of groundwater that link land-use
planning and water resource planning.
-Deliver LGU's and water resource managers the tools and technical
support to develop plans and solve groundwater related problems.
Proiect Approach:
Many of the elements for conducting a groundwater resource assessment have been assembled.
Basic Geologic Data has been generated, a countywide, bedrock groundwater model has been
developed by the Minnesota Department of Health, a more refined geologic map of quaternary
(glacial) sediments in both the surface and subsurface has been developed by the Minnesota
Geologic Survey. By bringing together the available data and acquiring some new data, a
comprehensive Groundwater Resource Assessment will be generated as outlined:
.
I. Collect and compile existing data.
II. Identify Data Gaps and develop a work plan to fill those gaps.
III. Acquire new data.
IV. Compile and interpret all data/develop model.
V. Generate a report: "Comprehensive Groundwater Resource Assessment-Northern
Washington County, Minnesota".
VI. Build and interactive, web-accessible data base.
It is proposed that a consultant be hired to conduct this work. Washington County would provide
project coordination. Participating agencies and communities will be asked to provide oversite,
review, direction and approval of the project.
Proiect Collaboration and Fundin2:
.
Because each Watershed Management Unit and some select communities share these common
issues related to groundwater, it is proposed that they combine resources with Washington
.. .......
County to complete this project. There is marked cost savings to each entity by sharing resources
to leverage State and local monies and the resulting "economies of scale". A Minnesota Board of .
Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) planning Grant has been identified. The BWSR grant will
match dollars 1:1, $ 50,000 per applicant with a project maximum of $125,000 (cash only). It is
anticipated that the project will cost approximately $ 210,000 to complete. Following is the
proposed balance of funding to complete this project:
Grant Funding:
BWSR
Local Funding:
Washington County
Brown's Creek WD/Stillwater
Rice Creek WD/Hugo
Carnelian Marine WD*
Forest Lake-Comfort Lake WD/Forest Lake
$100,000
$ 20,000
$ 20,000/$ 10,000
$ 20,000/$ 10,000
$ 10,000
$ 10,000/$ 5,000
Total
$ 210,000
Proposed contributions were based on an estimate of the level of effort needed in the selected areas. Certain cities were
selected based on the potential to impact groundwater resources from higher density urbanization and need for growth
planning. It was felt that a higher level of effort would be needed in those urbanizing areas.
*Carnelian Marine is presently conducting a focused groundwater study that will bring resources into the effort.
The ability to complete this project within the next year is dependent on obtaining the above .
proposed grant dollars. If these grant dollars were not made available, we propose that additional
funding from other state programs be explored or additional funding from within the collaborative
group be considered.

Dear Mayor Kimble:

representing Commission District A (Metropolitan Council Districts 1 and 2), District B (3 and 4),
District C (5 and 6) and District D (7 and 8) (see enclosed map).
Parks and Open Space Commission appointments are governed under the Minnesota Open Appointments

of State's office at 651/297-5845 for an application form. Completed applications are to be returned to the
Secretary of State. The deadline for persons applying for these appointments is Dec. 22, 2000.
After receipt by the Secretary of State, the applications are forwarded to the Metropolitan Council.
Applicants will be asked to appear for an interview at a public meeting conducted by a Metropolitan
Council appointments committee. The public meeting(s) will be held in January. The Metropolitan
Council will also notify legislators in the affected district of the names and backgrounds of the applicants
and solicit their recommendations. Following the public meeting, the appointments committee will meet
to review the information received and develop an appointment recommendation. It is expected that
appointments will be made by the Metropolitan Council in February.
.
The Metropolitan Council invites local units of government to participate in this appointment process by
encouraging citizens who have an interest in the work of the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space
Commission to become applicants. Qualifications for membership include: applicant must be a resident
of the commission district for which they are seeking appointment, and shall not during the term of office
hold the office of Metropolitan Council member, be a member of the Metropolitan Airports Commission
or Sports Facilities Commission, or hold any judicial office. If you have any questions about this
appointment process, please call Julie Opsahl of the Council staff at 651/602-1630.

and encourages you to forward to us any recommendations you may have on the appointments to be
made.

Annual Preservation Awards
The HPC awards were presented at the May 2, 2000 City Council meeting. National Preservation
Week was May 14 - 20. The awards presented were as follows:
Renovation of a Building - Mark S. Balay Architects
Signage Award - LaBelle Vie Restaurant
Heritage Award - Freight House Restaurant
Design Award - The Stillwater Territorial Prison Hotel Design
Hersey Staples & Co. Addition for National Ree:ister Identification and Evaluation Study
The HPC was involved with surveying, photographing and recording the architectural styles of
homes in the above study area. Each member of the committee was responsible to survey and
. photograph about 20 homes. See Exhibit B.
Heritae:e Preservation Conference
On September 28 and 29 all but one commissioner of the HPC attended the 21st Annual
Statewide Preservation conference in Winona, MN. The commissioners selected different
programs that were offered at the conference. At the following HPC meeting each
Commissioner reported what they had saw and learned at their workshop or tour.
Desie:n Guidelines Revisions
HPC continues to work on the Downtown Design Guidelines revisions that were started last
year.
Footnote
The HPC achieved one major boost to the historic district. Maple Island, a defunct dairy
manufacturing building on North Main Street went through final HPC design approval. The
entire building has been restored to house a hardware store, a wine shop, a food coop store and a
bookstore to name some of the businesses located. This is not a historical building, but it is in
the "historic district" and has now become a contributing building to the district. In addition to
renovating an old building, the owner help create a contributing building to the historic district
through the use of signage and awnings. (Exhibit C).

block. Mr. Lieberman asked about the proposed location ofthe building signage. Mr.
Bouley explained that the tentative plan is for the signage to be on the wall ofthe
building facing the street, towards the front entry. Mr. Johnson asked ifthere would be
other signage. Monument signs are not allowed in this part of the business district. Mr.
Bouley mentioned that because ofthe angle ofthe property, they may request additional
signage on the rear side of the building. (facing Curve Crest Blvd.) Ms. Fitzgerald
advised that this would probably require a variance. Ms. Pierre asked if window signage
would be allowed. Mr. Johnson stated that since this is not an impulse shopping facility,
additional signage would probably not be necessary. Ms. Pierre stated that because of the
proximity of the Rec. Center and the fact that they sell licensed sports attire, she was
interested in those patrons and "impulse" buyers. Mr. Bouley stated that they will
probably be seeking a variance for the signage then. Ms. Pierre asked if an address,
displayed on the building, counted as part of the signage. Ms. Fitzgerald explained that
addresses are not considered business advertising. Mr. Tomten asked about the landscape
plan and Ms. Fitzgerald stated that Mr. Bouley was made aware of the fact that no
Certificate of Occupancy would be issued until the plan was completed.
Mr. Johnson moved for approval as conditioned with the sign package being submitted
separately and that the berm/landscaping meets with staff approval. Seconded by Roger
Tomten; Ms. Diem abstained from voting; motion passed by the remainder of the
quorum.
.
Case No DROO/31 Design Review for 631 Hidden Valley Court. Present Pete
Brockman, owner. Mr. Johnson questioned Mr. Brockman whether or not there was
going to be water/sewer service to the accessory building. Mr. Brockman stated that
there would be electricity only, no heating or plumbing. It was determined that this
applicant did not need approval of the HPC because this was not an accessory dwelling
unit. Ms. Fitzgerald explained that Mr. Brockman would be refunded his design review
application fee. Mr. Johnson advised that a variance may be required, from the Planning
Commission, for set-backs and fence.
No action was necessary.
Other items:
. Roger Tomten talked about the HPC conference of September 28 and 29, along with
Beth Diem, Jeff Johnson and Sue Fitzgerald who also attended. Stillwater issues,
including the bridge dilemma came up several times at the conference. Overall,
everyone felt that the sessions were well-attended.
. The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m.

Aug. 7, 2000, as presented; motion passed unanimously.
Case No. DR/OO-24 Design review of proposed storage building at 1709 S. Greeley St. Tom
Hoffman, applicant.
Mr. Hoffman was present. Mr. Johnson moved approval as conditioned, saying the applicant had
done a good job of dealing with HPC concerns expressed at the August meeting regarding the
proposed building materials and the height. of the garage doors. Ms. Diem seconded the motion;
motion passed unanimously.
Case No. SUB/DR/OO-64 Design review of a drive-thru facility at 1820 Market Drive. Dave

space would be subleased from LeeAnn Chinn's, Mr. Reimer said.
There will be no changes to the exterior lighting from that previously approval for LeeAnn
Chin's; the awning will be the same shape, but the color will be changed to a royal blue. Ms.
Fitzgerald informed the applicant logos are not allowed on the awning or directional sign. Mr.
Williquette asked about the possible use of an ice cream symbol on the directional sign.
Mr. Reimer noted there is a sign plan in place for the PUD which Mr. Williquette will have to
adhere to. He suggested that they return with a sign package that meets both the PUD and city
criteria.

Mr. Ross was present. He questioned the condition of approval that the garage be of similar
materiaVcolor as the primary structure. He stated the house is clapboard, and he would like the
option of using board and batten for the garage; Mr. Tomten noted that board and batten and
clapboard are of the same time period. Regarding color, Mr. Ross said he thought using blue to
match the house might be too much, noting the garage will be set back 50 feet from the road. The
front gable of the new garage will be the same as the house; the side gables will be more plain,
he said. The roof pitch also will match the house. Mr. Johnson suggested doing something with
the transom light to reduce the forehead space at the front elevation. The window sash will be
one-over-one with the exception of those at the rear elevation.
Mr. Johnson asked what the HPC's charge is in such matters, pointing out that other garages
have not come before the group. Ms. Fitzgerald stated HPC review is required because the
request is for an accessory dwelling unit.
Mr. Johnson moved approval, allowing vertical batten as an option, with of the new structure to
be compatible with the color pallet of the house and the color submitted to staff for review. Mr.
Miller seconded the motion; motion passed unanimously.
Other items:
· Ms. Fitzgerald asked members about plans for attending the annual Historic Preservation
Conference. She stated she had not received any information as of meeting time. Ms.
Fitzgerald will call members with the conference schedule and for their final attendance
plans.
· Ms. Fitzgerald updated members on the signage at the Valley Bookseller. The applicant did
not receive a requested variance from the Planning Commission for the V logo on the front
elevation. Ms. Tilson then asked Ms. Fitzgerald for approval to eliminate the lettering on the
awning in exchange for use of the graphic on the front elevation. Ms. Fitzgerald said an HPC
member was in her office when the request was made, and the decision was made to give
approval.
· Ms. Fitzgerald informed members that Mr. Empson was the only person who responded to
the RFPs to conduct the Carli-Schulenburg survey. Mr. Miller, seconded by Mr. Tomten,
moved to accept Mr. Empson's proposal; motion passed unanimously. Ms. Fitzgerald passed
out house assignments; she stated she would like members to have their research done by
November and asked that they keep track of their hours and film receipts.
· Mr. Lieberman raised the issue, brought to the HPC's attention by Mr. Empson, of a
barn/stable that had been demolished in violation of the city's ordinance. Ms. Fitzgerald
explained that she had a conversation with Rodney Bahr, the developer who demolished the
structure, and informed him of the city's demolition ordinance. She stated Mr. Bahr had
seemed cooperative. Subsequent to that conversation, she said she asked City Attorney David
Magnuson to send a letter to Mr. Bahr regarding the ordinance. However, the building
department was under the misconception the ordinance only applied to dwelling units, not to
outbuildings, and issued Mr. Bahr a demolition permit. Mr. Lieberman said he was not

· comfortable with letting the matter go. After discussion, it was decided to send Mr. Bahr a
letter informing him again of the city's ordinance and telling him that a contractor's license
to be business in the city is a privilege.
· Mr. Lieberman asked about the structure on the lot behind Sandy Hudson's business in
downtown Stillwater. Ms. Diem raised a question about the garage at Churchill and South
First. Ms. Fitzgerald will check into those two issues.
· Ms. Fitzgerald said she had talked with the person from the Yacht Brokers regarding that
signage that is in violation of the sign ordinance. She said the Yacht Broker owner said Mr.
Stefan had told him the sign was permissible. It also was noted the banner is still up at the
hardware store. Ms. Fitzgerald will speak with Mr. Stefan regarding those two matters.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

Mr. Lieberman called the meeting to order at 7 p.m.
Approval of minutes: Mr. Miller, seconded by Mr. Tomten, moved approval of the minutes of
July 5, 2000; motion passed unanimously.
Case No. DRJOO-22 Design review of exterior signage for Merrill Lynch at 219 N. Main St. Hi-
Tech Signs, representing the applicant.
Grant Skoop of Hi-Tech Signs was present. He explained that Hi-Tech is just the installer of the
signage; the lettering is made by a firm in California. He explained the process by which the
lettering is applied to the building.
Mr. Tomten stated he had reviewed the sign package for the 2nd phase of the Maple Island
building project. The approved sign package provides for six primary sign bands - three on the
Main Street elevation and three on the Water Street elevation. He noted that the Merrill Lynch
sign would be the third sign on Main Street. Mr. Tomten said he thought the proposed Main
Street signage is OK, but said he had a problem with the Water Street elevation in that the
proposed location does not reflect the entry or exit space ofthe business.
Mr. Johnson agreed the Water Street entrance is not well defined. He noted the applicant can use
up to 1/3 of the window glass for signage. He also suggested that consideration be given to a
directory of tenants. Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Eastwood, moved to approve the west
elevation signage and deny the east elevation signage, incorporating the business into a building
directory and utilizing the allowable window space instead.
Mr. Lieberman questioned rejecting the second sign until it is determined that the applicant is not
entitled to the signage. Mr. Johnson said the requested Water Street sign could be denied because
there is no entrance at that location. Mr. Eastwood asked if an applicant must have an entrance to
have a second sign if the applicant has frontage on two streets. Ms. Fitzgerald said in reading the
ordinance, there is no mention of entrance or building level in reference to that issue. Mr.
Eastwood said he would withdraw his second of the motion if the request is within the approved
building sign plan and meets the ordinance requirements.

Mr. Johnson asked whether the applicant would be flexible in moving the requested Water Street
signage to a location near the Water Street entrance. Mr. Skoop said he didn't think there would
be a problem with that. Mr. Johnson then withdrew his original motion.
Mr. Lieberman moved approval of the Main Street signage, as conditioned, with staff to
determine an appropriate placement for the Water Street signage. During the discussion it was
noted there currently is a non-conforming sign for Yacht Brokers on the Water Street side of the
building. Mr. Tomten suggested adding a condition that the developer be informed the existing
sign is non-conforming and also to remind Mr. Stefan that the approved sign plan allows for just
three primary sign bands on the Main Street and Water Street elevations. Mr. Johnson seconded
the motion; motion passed unanimously.
Case No. SUPN /DRiOO-53 Design review of modified conceptual plan for a 170 room hotel,
restaurant and conference center at 606 N. Main St. Territorial Prison Coalition Inc., applicant.
.
Present were Mike Borum of Territorial Prison Coalition and Mark Finneman of the architectural
firm, Finn Daniels. Mr. Finneman explained the primary change is the addition of a 30-unit wing
to be constructed behind the main prison building. He stated the developers need 170 rooms to
make the project economically feasible. There also has been some change in the mezzanine area
to accommodate more rooms, he said. The concept of the inside of the buildings is much the
same as originally proposed, he said. The hotel addition will be as unobtrusive as possible; it will
be connected to an existing one-story structure in the service area.
Mr. Finneman said he had met with Charlie Nelson of SHPO a number of times. Mr. Johnson
asked about items to be removed/demolished as indicated in the demolition notes in the
architectural renderings in the agenda packet. Mr. Finneman said the intent is to replicate or
recapture the original structures to the extent possible except on the service side of the building.
Mr. Finneman noted the project is continuing to evolve and the front lobby may well change.
Mr. Johnson said it is important that the original window and door openings be maintained and
that the connecting building be minimal. Mr. Lieberman asked whether it would be useful for an
HPC member/staff member to attend future meetings with Mr. Nelson; Mr. Johnson agreed that
would be a good idea.
Mr. Miller, seconded by Mr. Johnson, moved support of the proposed modified design concept
for a l70-room hotel, restaurant and conference center as conditioned and to have the HPC
chair/designee serve as an ongoing liaison in future meetings with Mr. Nelson. Motion passed
unanimously.
Mr. Finneman said once the pricing package is determined, the applicant will come back with
more definitive design plans. Mr. Johnson said there is a security issue with the building that
. should be addressed; Ms. Fitzgerald will look into that matter.

Case No. DR/OO-23 Design review of an exterior sign at River Heights Plaza. DeMars Signs,
representing Euro Nails, applicant.
Bihn Lee, owner, was present.
Mr. Johnson noted that the business has 18 feet of frontage and the proposed signage is a little
over the allowed 18'. He asked it the placementlheight of the lettering is consistent with
neighboring businesses.
Mr. Johnson moved approval as conditioned with the applicant to work with staff so the
elevation/location of the signage is consistent with neighboring businesses. Mr. Miller seconded
the motion; motion passed unanimously.
Case No. DR/OO-24 Design review of proposed storage building at 1709 S. Greeley St. Tom
Hoffman, applicant.
The applicant was not present. Commission members had some concerns about the proposed
building material and the height of the doors. Mr. Lieberman moved to continue the request to
the September meeting due to the concerns and to provide the applicant with a copy of the
Business Park design guidelines. Mr. Eastwood seconded the motion; motion passed
unanimously.
Other items:
· Ms. Fitzgerald said she will be contacting Amoco regarding the promise to return the
downtown station/store to its pre-storm condition.
· Ms. Fitzgerald said she would contact Yacht Brokers regarding the non-conforming sign.
· Mr. Tomten informed members that the St. Croix River Association would be hosting a
forum on bridge proposals at 7 p.. Wednesday, Aug. 16, at the Stillwater Armory. Mr.
Lieberman said he would be attending a meeting of the RTR bridge committee scheduled for
the Wednesday following the August HPC meeting as a representative of the HPC. A
discussion of bridge issues ensued.

1750 W. Frontage Road. Tim Balstad, applicant.
Mr. Balstad was present. He said in order to keep his business competitive he planned to add a
swimming pool to the motel. He said the same architect who designed the original structure is
doing the plans for the addition. The addition will be of the same materials and colors as the
main building, but the exterior trim will be lightened some, he said. Mr. Lieberman suggested
that Mr. Balstad consult with staff regarding paint colors.
Ms. Fitzgerald asked if there would be any additional outside lighting. Mr. Balstad said he may
use/move some of the existing lights, but there will be no more illumination that there currently
is. Ms. Fitzgerald said even if the existing lights are moved, the lighting must be downlit. Mr.
Johnson noted that conditional of approval No.2, review of exterior lighting, applies even if the
existing lights are moved.
Mr. Johnson asked about ventilation units. All mechanicals will be inside, Mr. Balstad said, and

David Reimer representing Urban Associates, applicant.
.
Mr. Reimer was present for the discussion. Mr. Johnson expressed his concern about the
orientation of the Timber Lodge Steakhouse to County Road 5 and the visibility of the trash
enclosure. Mr. Reimer offered to plant spruce trees to screen the area. Mr. Johnson offered
several suggestions for alternative locations of the enclosure, none of which Mr. Reimer said
would work. In addition to planting trees, Mr. Reimer said he could face the opening of the
enclosure to the southwest, so the opening would not be seen from County Road 5. Later in the
discussion, Ms. Fitzgerald produced a larger site map which indicated there is an outlot, 150-200
feet, between Timber Lodge and County Road 5 so the trash enclosure won't be as visible as
initially thought. Ms. Diem suggested including the site map with the Commission's action on
the request.
Several members expressed concern about the appearance of the rear wall of the building. Mr.
Lieberman suggested the massive wall on the back doesn't do justice to the design of the front.
Mr. Reimer noted that Target had approved the design. With the price of the land and rising
interest rates, he said there is no room economically to add to the cost of construction. He further
noted that the coping wraps around the entire building and that the front and sides of the
building, not the rear, are the most visible to the public. Ms. Diem said she didn't disagree that
the front could be different than the rear of the building.
Regarding lighting, Mr. Reimer said the fixtures and poles will be the same as specified in the
PUD - shoebox and downlit. Signs will be all individual channel letters. Mr. Tomten stated he
would prefer to have the security lighting on the back elevation more in line with other
architectural features such as the dark color band, rather than placed at the parapet. Mr. Johnson
also suggested the intermediate security light on the rear elevation could be eliminated.
Mr. Johnson also expressed a concern about the potential visibility of the rooftop mechanicals
given the 2' parapet. Mr. Reimer stated this is the same as the 1st phase of the development, and
. the mechanical units will be no larger than those in the 1st phase.

Mr. Johnson moved to accept the plans as conditioned, with the additional conditions that the
trash enclosure serving the Timber Lodge be screened with spruce trees at the southwest comer
and that the door ofthe enclosure face to the south; that the security light shown mid-building on
the rear elevation be eliminated and all other security lighting on the rear elevation be located in
the dark accent band below the parapet. Mr. Eastwood seconded the motion; all in favor.
Case No. DR/00-3 Design review of an exterior sign at 131 S. Main St. Jennifer Cosgrove,
applicant.
Jennifer and Chris Cosgrove were present. They provided color renderings of the proposed
signage - 20 square feet on the Main Street and about a lOx3 ' sign on the Chestnut Street side.
Mr. Johnson suggested that the signs on the front and side be placed at the same elevation. Mr.
Johnson also questioned the appearance of having different size signs, noting the existing
signage at the same height and appearance works well. The applicants agreed with Mr. Johnson's
observation.
Chris Cosgrove stated their initial proposal was to have Coca Cola on the two ends of the signs,
rather than the hamburger and malt. He said their intent was to have signage representative of the
1930s and 40s. Members were supportive of the use of Coca Cola on the signs. Mr. Johnson
noted that if the words were a separate sign, that would not be allowed. However, since the
wording is within the total allowable square footage, the use should be acceptable according to
the city's guidelines. Mr. Lieberman said his personal preference would be to spell Grill and
Shop correctly, rather than Grille and Shoppe as proposed; the Cosgroves agreed with that
suggestion.
Mr. Lieberman moved to approve the signs, 8' x 2 ~', on the east and south elevations, allowing
the use of the Coca Cola wording, and spelling Grill and Shop correctly. Mr. Johnson seconded
the motion, noting the motion includes the requested awning and colors as submitted. Motion
passed unanimously. Ms. Fitzgerald will do further checking to make sure there are no
restrictions in the use of Coca Cola.
Case No. SUP/DR/OO-lO Design review of office/warehouse at 1900 Tower Dr. Ray Kennedy,
applicant.
Mr. Kennedy was not present.
After discussion, a motion to approve with several additional conditions -- concerning the
placement and color of signage, submission of a lighting plan, requiring a parapet - was
withdrawn. Mr. Tomten noted there are serious design issues with the proposal. The design
guidelines call for architectural consistency in details and materials on all sides of a building,
which the current proposal does not do. Ms. Diem also noted there might be code issues involved
with the use of residential siding as proposed. Mr. Tomten moved to deny the request as
. submitted based on the design guidelines requiring architectural consistency. Mr. Lieberman

suggested, and moved, to continue the request to the March meeting to receive additional
information from the applicant. Mr. Eastwood seconded the motion; all in favor.
.
Other items:
· Mark Balay appeared with preliminary plans for a ticket office/storage for St. Croix Boat and
Packet. Mr. Balay explained that the DNR is requiring Mr. Anderson to get rid of the existing
floating ticket office. He reviewed the proposed location, which will require rezoning, and
the preliminary design. He said the new structure will appear as a single-story building from
the road, but will be a walkout from the river side. The entire building will be above the 100-
year flood mark, he said. The building materials likely will be corrugated metal siding with
an asphalt roof, similar to the Commander Elevator. Signage will be a simple board sign
mounted on brackets on the west elevation. He said Mr. Anderson has submitted two reports
to the DNR outlining progress made to date. Members were receptive to the preliminary
plans as presented.
· The request for the annual renewal of the special use permit for the popcorn wagon at 401 S
Main St. was included in the packet for information only. Ms. Fitzgerald said there have been
no complaints regarding the operation.
· Ms. Fitzgerald asked members to be thinking about the annual HPC awards to be presented
in May. A list of cases reviewed in the past year was included in the agenda packet. It was
noted that the award nominees need not be restricted to those cases reviewed in the past year.
· Mr. Lieberman suggested members take a group walk when the weather gets warmer to get a
feel of changes/needs in the downtown area.
The recording secretary left at 9:20 p.m.

January 5, 2000
Present: Howard Lieberman, chair (7:25)
Beth Diem, Phil Eastwood, Jeff Johnson, Robert Kimbrel, and Roger Tomten
Others: Planner Sue Fitzgerald
Absent: Dean Miller
Vice chair Mr. Kimbrel called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m.
Approval of minutes: Mr. Kimbrel asked that the discussion of the new pedestrian lighting in the
downtown area, the last item under "other items," reflect that the fixtures are not the ones
approved by the Heritage Preservation Commission. Mr. Tomten, seconded by Mr. Eastwood,
moved to approve the minutes of Nov. 1, 1999, as amended; motion passed 4-0 (Ms. Diem, Mr.
Eastwood, Mr. Kimbrel and Mr. Tomten).
Mr. Kimbrel introduced and welcomed new member Beth Diem.
Case No. DR/OO-l Design review of exterior signage for tattoo business at 235 ~ East Chestnut
St. Dave Zappia, applicant.
John Wicklund was present representing the applicant. Mr. Wicklund provided a sketch of the
proposed sign. The request was for a 21 '7" square foot sign to be placed over the face of the
glass on the transom window. The exterior ofthe building is 25'9" in width. However, the tattoo
shop occupies only one-half of the space, thus is allowed 13 square feet of signage according to
the ordinance. Mr. Johnson suggested that the applicant consider a projecting sign which would
improve exposure from Main Street, rather than a sign placed on the face of the building. Ms.
Fitzgerald also noted the applicant is allowed to use up to one-third of the inside window glass
for signage. Mr. Johnson further noted that the proposed colors are a "little strong" - the red
should be darker/muted.
Mr. Johnson moved to deny the request as submitted as the size of the size is over what is
allowed by the ordinance and the colors outside the downtown design guidelines, with the
recommendation that the applicant consider a projecting sign to be reviewed by staff for size and
colors, and allowing a projecting sign as long as it is within the ordinance/guidelines. Mr.
Eastwood seconded the motion. Motion passed 5-0 (Ms. Diem, Mr. Eastwood, Mr. Johnson, Mr.
Kimbrel, Mr. Tomten).
Other items:
. Territorial Prison project update/project advocacy
Ms. Fitzgerald referred to a memo in the packet outlining the terms of the sale and TIF assistance
for the hoteVconference center/restaurant at the Territorial Prison site. Ms. Fitzgerald said if
there are new plans and any changes to the plans previously reviewed by the HPC, the plans will
come back to the Commission.

.
Heritage Preservation Commission
January 5, 2000
Mr. Lieberman said he had received a call asking for a written letter in support of the hotel
project. Mr. Lieberman said he did not perceive the HPC's role as being advocates for private,
commercial development. He stated he was not willing to say anything other than that the HPC
had reviewed the proposal and thought it appropriate. He said in his view, the HPC's advocacy
for a private developer is not the same as being an advocate for a public project, such as the
preservation of the lift bridge. Ms. Fitzgerald said the City looks to the HPC in issues relating to
the preservation of historic structures. Mr. Lieberman said in such cases, a more appropriate
approach would be for the staff to request that the HPC address the City Council on whether a
specific proposal is a good reuse of an historic structure. Mr. Johnson agreed that the HPC ought
to stick to issues of whether a proposal is historically appropriate.
As far as specific plans for the Territorial Prison project, Mr. Johnson noted that SHPO will be a
big player and suggested the HPC wait until plans are submitted before making any comments.
There was a brief discussion of the Lumber Baron's Hotel project and related issues.
.
. Design Guidelines
Mr. Tomten briefly reviewed the third draft of amendments to the Downtown Design Manual,
specifically highlighting awnings and signage. Regarding awnings, Mr. Tomten said the biggest
change is clarifying that signing is permitted on the end panel or front valence only. There is also
more detail regarding sign coloring, he said.
Regarding awnings, Mr. Kimbrel questioned the wording allowing fixed, round-headed awnings
over arched windows or doors. Mr. Johnson agreed that the architectural features of arched
windows are lost when such awnings are used; he suggested allowing "bubble" awnings only
when inset in an arched opening.
Mr. Eastwood referred to the section on painted wall signs and murals noting that recently the
HPC presented an award to Randy Raduenz for one of his murals. Mr. Tomten agreed that the
mural on Images of the Past photo shop would be outside of the revised guidelines as the
building is a contributing structure.
Mr. Tomten asked members to bring additional comments for further discussion at the Feb. 7
HPC meeting. He also asked members to consider whether to address trademark logos/colors in
the updated Design Manual.
.
. Lift Bridge issues
Mr. Johnson stated he had been representing the HPC in the 106 review process for the new river
crossing. He submitted the draft of a letter addressed to Adam Josephson, MnDOT project
manager, regarding the economic impact analysis on the effects of the removal of the historic lift
bridge. The letter stated the economic impact analysis dated July 1999 is "inaccurate" and
submitted several arguments in support of that position. Members were in consensus that while
the letter may be "too soft," could be more positive or could have more hard numbers, there was
a need to get a letter off stating the HPC's position that the study is flawed.

Heritage Preservation Commission
January 5, 2000
Mr. Johnson moved to approve the letter as presented as the HPC's position on the economic
analysis and authorize the chairman to sign the letter. Mr. Eastwood seconded the motion;
motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Lieberman and Mr. Johnson submitted a proposed letter to Congressman Bill Luther asking
Mr. Luther's assistance in preserving the historic lift bridge. Mr. Lieberman said the letter is the
result of a meeting RTR had with Mr. Luther. The letter would be signed by Rivertown
Restoration, the Heritage Preservation Commission as well as the National Trust for Historic
Preservation and the Minnesota Preservation Alliance. The letter asks for Mr. Luther's assistance
is two areas - initiating discussions with Department of Interior Secretary Bruce Babbit
regarding the National Park Service's responsibility to protect the historic lift bridge which is
listed in the National Register of Historic Places and providing leadership in the transfer of the
ownership ofthe historic lift bridge to a public owner such as the city of Stillwater.
Mr. Lieberman said unless those in favor of preserving the lift bridge start moving on a lot of
different fronts, the lift bridge will be removed. Mr. Johnson pointed out that the letter
representing a coalition of historic preservations groups and the indication of uniform support of
those groups would have more power than the actions of any of the groups individually.
A lengthy discussion ensued. Mr. Kimbrel favored the HPC taking its own actions, rather than
joining with RTR and the other groups; he also suggested that requesting assistance of
Congressman Luther might result in the politicizing of the issue. Ms. Diem suggested that since
the city of Stillwater is not a signatory of the letter, perhaps the City should not be specifically
named in the section regarding the transfer of ownership to a public entity.
The discussion concluded with a motion by Mr. Eastwood, seconded by Ms. Diem, to accept the
draft letter. Mr. Kimbrel asked for some additional time to go through the letter before taking
action. Ms Diem asked if the other groups had indicated their approval. Mr. Johnson said the
RTR and National Trust have indicated their approval and the Minnesota Preservation Alliance
had given a verbal commitment. Mr. Lieberman offered a friendly amendment to the motion-
approving the letter to Congressman Luther in substantially the form as presented, but to not
send the letter before Friday, Jan. 7, 2000, for possible revision based on comments from HPC
members and other signatories. As Mr. Lieberman was to be out of town, Mr. Johnson was asked
to make any revisions if needed. Mr. Eastwood agreed to accept Mr. Lieberman's amendmentto
the motion; motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Lieberman, seconded by Mr. Eastwood, moved to adjourn at 9:15 p.m.; all in favor.
Respectfully submitted,

Jeff Jolmson, Robert Kimbrel and Roger Tomten
Others:
Planner Sue Fitzgerald
Absent:
Phil Eastwood and Dean Miller
Mr. Lieberman called the meeting to order at 7 p.m.
Approval of minutes: Mr. Kimbrel, seconded by Mr. Johnson, moved approval of the minutes of
Oct. 4,1999; all in favor.
Case No. DR/99-27 Design review of an exterior sign for Checker Auto Parts at 14396 60th St.
Shannon Grady, Preferred Sign & Crane, Inc., representing the applicant.
Mr. Grady was present. He explained the request is to put a new face on the pylon sign which
identifies the businesses in the auto-related mall and to replace the existing building sign with a
sign of the same size and same location. Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Kimbrel, moved
approval as conditioned; all in favor.
Case No. DR/99-28 Design review of an exterior sign for Bella Cosa at 102 N. Main St. Cindy
Gellerman, applicant.
Ms. Gellerman was present and explained the request for a 2x3 projecting sign to be placed
above the front door of the business at Main and Myrtle streets; there also is a sign on the Myrtle
Street building elevation.
Mr. Jolmson asked if other improvements to the building - glazing and changes to the windows-
had been before the HPC for review. Mr. Tomten noted that when Savories, the adjacent
business, came before the HPC with its renovation plans and request for an awning, there was
discussion about eventually tying in the building fronts with an awning. Ms. Fitzgerald noted that
Ms. Gellerman is a tenant and has no intention of installing an awning. Ms. Gellerman said she
would not want an awning as she would lose all the window frontage; she suggested the building
fronts look split because of the way the building steps up. Mr. Tomten asked that the issue of the
awning be researched. .
Mr. Tomten, seconded by Mr. Kimbrel, moved approval as conditioned; motion passed
unanimously.
Case No. DR/99-18 Design review of an exterior sign for the Roof Depot at 1815 S. Greeley St.
Ken Maloney and Dave Hauser, applicants.

.
In discussing lighting, several members expressed concern about the large amount of white
background for an internally illuminated sign as requested. The applicants expressed a
willingness to use ground lighting rather an internal illumination; Mr. Johnson noted the ground
lighting would have to be shielded so as not to be a hazard from passing traffic.
There was a discussion about the visibility problem the applicants are having. The applicants
said they would like the signage to be placed on the south side of the entry driveway if possible.
Mr. Johnson suggested that if the branches on the trees by the entry driveway are trimmed up,. a
monument sign might be a viable option versus the pylon sign as proposed. The applicants
expressed a willingness to look at that option. It was suggested that the applicants do a mock up
of a monument sign to see if that signage will work for them. Members agreed that south of the
driveway would be a better location for the signage.
Mr. Johnson moved approval of an externally illuminated monument or pylon sign, with the
option of locating the signage on the south side of the driveway; if a monument sign is to be
used, it must be ofthe same size and lettering as the proposed pylon sign. Mr. Tomten suggested
adding a condition that if a monument sign is selected, it be reviewed by staff; Mr. Johnson
agreed to add that additional condition. Mr. Johnson's motion included the two conditions of
approval recommended by staff. Mr. Tomten seconded the motion; motion passed unanimously.
Case No. DR/99-29 Design review of exterior modifications and signage for the Stillwater
Gallery at 115 Union Street. Randy Raduenz, applicant.
.
Mr. Raduenz provided a colored rendering of his plans. He said he would like to use some
window signage in addition to the requested 2x3 projecting sign; the colors will be coordinated
with the building. He also stated he would like to do a full glass front door. In the spring, he
would like to do a building mural highlight the logging era, with perhaps a self-portrait. Mr.
Johnson noted the mural cannot contain any verbiage. Mr. Raduenz further stated he would use
"Scotchlite" on the projecting sign so it reflects at night and provides visibility to traffic; Mr.
Johnson suggested the existing street lighting might provide adequate nighttime visibility. Mr.
Tomten asked if the window framing will be done in wood, versus metal; Mr. Raduenz
responded in the affirmative.
Mr. Johnson moved approval of the sign as proposed (design, materials and color), with the sign
to be located straddling the cornice of the building; not allowing the use of Scotchlite until the
existing lighting conditions are checked; approving the colors of the building and glazing of th:e
windows and door with wood framing; and allowing the removal of the existing stone on the
building front if necessary. The applicant is to have plans for the mural reviewed by Ms.
Fitzgerald; the mural cannot contain any verbiage and cannot be lighted. The motion of approval
included the conditions as recommended by staff. Mr. Tomten seconded the motion; motion
passed unanimously.
.

.
Other items:
. Don Empson and his wife, Kathy, were present. Mr. Empson provided members with copies
of the previously published neighborhood surveys Mr. Empson has done for the HPC/City.
There was a brief discussion as to how the HPC nlight be able to assist in promoting the
availability of Mr. Empson's most recent survey.
. Hersey, Staples Addition RFPs - Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Kimbrel, moved to
recommend approval of the proposal submitted by Empson Archives; motion passed
unanimously.
. Ms. Fitzgerald noted that the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota will be awarding "Tip of
the Hat" award to BP Amoco for its project at the service station at 103 N. Main St. The
award will be presented at the Alliance's 'annual meeting on Nov. 13. Mr. Lieberman will
represent the HPC at the meeting.
. Mr. Tomten noted the firm of David Stanley Gebhard has extended invitations for
nominations for an award for architectural history. He said he would like to recommended
Empson Archives for the award. Mr. Tomten, seconded by Mr. Kimbrel, moved to submit an
application nominating Mr. Empson for the award; motion passed unanimously. Ms.
Fitzgerald will submit the application.
. Mr. Kimbrel asked about the city parking lot signs. Ms. Fitzgerald said she had not had time
to do anything with that issue. Mr. Kimbrel asked about the berming issue. Ms. Fitzgerald
said Video Update is planting trees and a new sign is being made. She said nothing has been
done at St. Croix BikelKennedy Transmission, and she will talk with Mr. Kellison again
regarding that matter. Mr. Johnson suggested that perhaps the CitylHPC needs to look closer
at l~dscaping escrow accounts and certificate of occupancy in getting developers to meet
design guidelines.
. There was a brief discussion regarding a communication from Tim Stefan regarding changes
to the co-op area at the Maple Island building; most of the changes are to the rear of the
building.
. There also was brief discussion regarding the pedestrian lighting and the acorn fixtures
recommended in the downtown plan.
Mr. Johnson, seconded QY Mr. Tomten, moved to adjourn at 8:25 p.m.

City of Stillwater
Heritage Preservation Commission
July 5, 2000
Ms. Fitzgerald noted the. applicant is requesting both a logo and sign on the front elevation, and
will be seeking a variance from the Planning Commission for signage on the south elevation.
During the discussion, it was noted the south elevation faces the city parking lot which could be
considered a public way which would allow signage on that elevation,
Regarding the request for both the logo and sign on the front elevation, Ms. Tilsen noted if the V
is removed, it leaves a large empty space due to the height of the building. She also noted the
logo in needed to create an identity as an independent bookseller. HPC suggestions included
using the V in Valley Bookseller for the logo, somehow physically attaching the logo to the sign
lettering, or incorporating the V in the signage as proposed in the design for the east elevation.
Mr. Johnson also suggested introducing a color band to break up the height of the building, in
lieu of the logo.
Regarding the request for verbiage on the awning on the south elevation to promote various
sections in the store, Mr. Tomten noted that verbiage is generally limited to the awning valence,
rather than the awning itself. Mr. Lane agreed that it should be possible to add a valence to the
awnmgs.
.
Mr. Johnson suggested the lighting on the front elevation looks a bit high. Mr. Lane said he
would look at that.
Mr. Johnson moved approval, clarifying condition No. 1 to approve the sign and tapered canopy,
excluding the V logo; allowing the shepherd's hook lighting on the west elevation; the awning
on the south elevation with verbiage to be placed on the valence and recommending that the
Planning Commission grant a variance for the requested signage on the south elevation; that the
square footage of the signage equal one square foot per lineal frontage; and approving the color
pallet for the building and awnings as presented. Mr. Eastwood seconded the motion, Mr.
Johnson later said he would be amendable to amending his motion to allow the V logo if placed
on the same plane as the lettering on the canopy, incorporating the logo into the one allowable
sign; Mr. Miller seconded that amended motion.
Discussion ensued as to the appropriateness ofthe HPC recommending signage in excess of what
is allowable. Mr. Tomten expressed his concern about doing so, and Mr, Lieberman agreed that
giving such direction to the Planning Commission may diminish the role of the HPC. Mr.
Lieberman suggested adding language to the motion that while the HPC has no opinion
regarding the variance for the south elevation, the HPC does find the proposed design of the
signage appropriate. Mr. Johnson accepted that language as a friendly amendment to the motion;
motion passed unanimously.
Case No. DR/OO-21 Design review for Harvest Inn, Dawn Wagenaar, applicant.

The applicant was not present. Ms. Fitzgerald explained that the Harvest Inn has been sold to
Ms. Wagenaar who is planning only to change the color of the building, Ms. Fitzgerald provided
samples of the proposed colors. In the future, the applicant is proposing to install a railing on the
steps to the front entry; repair and paint the existing fence; install a lattice fence in the garden
area on the south side; pave the parking area on the property; and build a fence around the
dumpster.
It was noted that paving the parking area was not an HPC issue. Mr, Lieberman, seconded by
Mr. Kimbrel, moved approval of the exterior painting with the color pallet as submitted and
repair/painting of the fence, assuming the fence will be painted the same color as it currently is,
If the fence is to be painted a different color, the color must be returned for review, Motion
passed unanimously.
Other items:
· Mr. Empson informed members that the Hersey Staples survey is completed He also said a
suggestion has been made to place historic markers at various places in town. Mr. Empson

supportive of the concept. Ms. Diem suggested checking with Amy Stefan regarding the style
of the proposed historical markers at the Territorial Prison site.
· Ms. Fitzgerald noted the Preserve Minnesota Conference will be held in Winona Sept. 28-29
and asked members to let her know if they are interested in attending.

one.

Mr. Lieberman called the meeting to order at 7 p.m.
Approval of minutes: Mr. Miller noted a problem with spacing at the top of page 2 of the
minutes of May 1. Mr. Johnson said the reference to the wall packs at the ice arena on page 3
should indicate that such lighting is not permitted and that Ms. Fitzgerald was asked to check
into the matter. Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Miller, moved approval of the May 1, 2000,
minutes as corrected; all in favor.
Case. No.DR/OO-12 Design Review of exterior modifications at 314 Chestnut St. E. Mike and
Sandy Hudson, applicants.
Sandy Hudson was present. She said they have purchased the vacant lot east of the Laskin
building. The request is to provide a rear entrance to the gift shop which is located in their
building. The entrance will be a commercial steel metal door, plain gray in color. Mr. Johnson
asked if any wall surface treatment or fencing of the lot is planned. Ms. Hudson said not at this
time.
Mr, Johnson, seconded by Mr. Tomten, moved to approve the second entrance as conditioned,
with any changes to the lot to come back before the HPC; all in favor. There was some
discussion as to the possibility of reuse of the material - limestone/pavers -- that has been
removed from the lot.
Case No. DR/OO-13 Design review of an addition to the Church of St. Michael, 611 S. Third St.
Architectural Network, representing the Church of St. Michael.
Joe Marchetti was present representing Architectural Network.
Mr. Tomten asked about outdoor lighting. Mr. Marchetti said there would be three or four lights
on 20-25' poles in the east parking lot, down-lit, wall pack fixtures will used over the security
doors, and there will be some pedestrian lighting on the walking paths similar to those at the
Historic Courthouse.
Mr. Johnson asked about materials. Materials will be brick/mortar to match the existing school
asbestpossible. The two-story in-fill building will have a two-foot limestone sill with glazing
about. A bid alternative is to clean and stain the 1961 school addition. Regarding rooftop

mechanicals, Mr. Marchetti said the equipment on the new gym will be screened by the roof
parapet and will be set back from the Third and East Willard Street elevations to minimize
visibility. The unit on the new parish addition also will be screened by the parapet.
Mr. Marchetti said the proposal is to try to use existing garages on the southeast corner of the lot
for trash enclosure. Mr. Johnson said he would like to see a permanent structure for dumpster
enclosure and agreed the southeast area seemed to be the most appropriate location for such a
structure.
Regarding signage, Mr, Marchetti said there will be one new piece, a memorial sign incorporated
on the Third Street entry to the building and perhaps a sign on the north wall of the new parish
addition which otherwise would be a blank wall. Existing signs will be used; the rest of the
signage will be handled within the building, he said.
Landscaping plans include new plantings by the new play area only. Mr. Johnson suggested it
might be nice to introduce some new plantings on the Willard Street elevation to reduce the
height of the wall, as well as on the south side to screen air conditioning units.
Mr. Lieberman moved to accept the plans as conditioned, eliminating condition of approval No,
11, with landscaping plans to be brought back for further review, Mr. Miller seconded the
motion; motion passed unanimously. Mr. Johnson asked that the record indicate Ms. Diem was
not present and did not vote on this case.
Case No. DR/OO-14 Design review of exterior modifications for Larry's Flooring at 212
Commercial St. Larry O'Connor, applicant.
Mr. O'Connor was present.
Mr. Tomten asked about the materials to be used when the overhead doors are removed and
whether the building would be patched. Mr. O'Connor said future plans are to eliminate the
metal, pole barn look.
When asked if he intended to use his existing awning, Mr. O'Connor said the current awning
probably won't work at the new location. The new awning will be of the same colors - red and
white. Mr, Johnson asked if there would be signage on the awning, and Mr. O'Connor said he
would like to be able to do so. Ms. Fitzgerald noted that signage was limited to one projecting
sign or signage on the canopy. Mr. O'Connor asked if some type of carpeting symbol could be
placed on the sides of the awning and was told that would be acceptable, as is letting on the
inside glass. Mr. O'Connor stated that at some point in the future he might like to do painting on
the east side of the building, similar to Images of the Past. Mr. Johnson noted that any such
painting could not specifically relate to the business.

Ms. Shely said the new signage for her business, Relaxation Station, would be placed over the
existing large wall sign. She brought samples of wood letters, 6" x 4", and color samples. She
said the signage will not be lighted as her business is not open in the evening.
Mr. Johnson pointed out that only one square foot of signage per linear front footage is
allowable; the existing sign is non-conforming. He noted that Ms. Shely could use the existing
backdrop; he also suggested that her sign needs to be defined with a border. Mr. Tomten
suggested having an elongated sign, 12' by 1', with the smaller verbiage painted in the window
below.. .
Mr. Tomten moved approval of a horizontal format sign of 12' xl' (equal to the amount of
linear front footage), with the subtitles painted in the glass of the door. The sign will be
burgundy with gold trim, to be placed on a black or very dark green background. The sign is not
to be lighted. Mr. Miller seconded the motion; all in favor.
.
Other business:
· Ms. Fitzgerald infoffiled members that the City Council had approved hiring an investigator
to conduct the Carli & Schulenburg's addition. She said she will get a list of registered
investigators from SHPO and will sent out RFPs.
· Ms. Fitzgerald said the Ann Bean B&B has been sold to the previous owner. There will be no
change in operation.
· Ms. Fitzgerald said she had talked with Dick Olsen regarding the wall pack at the ice arena;
Mr. Olsen stated it was not a permanent fixture.
· Mr. Johnson said he had been contacted by John Kraemer of the committee working on a
veteran's memorial. Mr. Johnson said he told Mr, Kraemer that was not an HPC issue.
Mayor Kimble's lift bridge vroposal
Mayor Jay Kimble appeared before the Commission asking for support for a plan to resolve the
issues surround the new St. Croix River crossing and the preservation of the historic lift bridge.
Mr, Kimble began by stating he feared the new bridge will be lost if the local community cannot
unite on a palatable solution for mitigation, specifically the disposition of the historic lift bridge.
Mr. Kimble stated the proposal has received the support of the RTR bridge committee, City of
Stillwater Chamber of Commerce and Stillwater Area Chamber of Commerce; he was fairly
certain the plan also would receive the support of the coalition for a new St. Croix River bridge.
The City Council was to vote on the issue at its meeting the following day. Mr. Kimble also
stated he thought the plan would be acceptable to the National Park Service.
Most of the discussion centered on the language in B)l "up to 10 years" ; B)3 the lift should
"should be" fully rehabilitated ... After discussion, Mayor Kimble agreed to the following
language change in section B)3: The TH 36/64 shall be fully rehabilitated to meet the needs of
. the city. The report made by A.G. Lichtenstein & Association dated May 1999 shall be the guide

in the development ofthis rehabilitation plan which shall include complete repainting, machinery
repairs/replacement and necessary deck improvements." It was also agreed to replace "up to 10
years" in section B)l to "10 years."
Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr, Miller, moved to express the HPC support of the plan with the
agreed upon language changes. Vote was 3-1, with Mr. Tomten voting no.
The meeting adjourned at 9:35 p.m.

Mr. Lieberman called the meeting to order at 7 p,m.

April 3, 2000; all in favor.
Case No. DR/00-10 Design review of addition at Ascension Episcopal Church, 214 N, Third St.
Jim Christopherson, representing Ascension Church.
Present for the discussion were Jim Christopherson and Bob Zimmerman representing the
architectural firm BentzlThompsonlRietow. They noted they have met with city engineering staff
regarding drainage issues. With the exception of the north side, the existing footprint of the
buildings will not be changed a great deal. Existing brick/stone will be matched as closely as
possible; window glazing will be done to match the existing coloration in the parish hall; and
roof pitches will remain the same.
There was a question about the location of the transformer/condensing unit and the trash
enclosure. The transformer/condensing unit will be placed at the west end of the church building
and be screened by landscaping. The existing trash enclosure will be utilized. Mr. Kimbrel asked
about exterior lighting, Mr. Zimmerman noted a site plan with cuts of lighting types was
included in the packet; some existing wall sconces will be utilized, Mr. Johnson noted that
conditions of approval No.2 and No.8 were redundant.
Mr. Johnson moved approval as conditioned, eliminated condition of approval No. 8 and
changing condition of approval No.2 to read, "All lighting shall be directed away from the street
and adj acent properties. Light sources shall be shielded from direct view and protected from
damage by vehicles." Mr, Kimbrel seconded the motion, Ms. Diem asked if the architects had
met with building officials regarding sprinkling requirements; Mr. Zimmerman responded in the
affirmative and said the sprinkling requirements will not affect the architecture. Motion of
approval passed unanimously,

Mr. Sherlock was present. He said there will not be any new signs; faces will be replaced on the
existing signs. He also noted the existing marquee signage will be eliminated; the structure will

remain, but it will be non-illuminated. Also some existing signs that currently are illuminated
will be non-illuminated when the new sign faces are installed. The A TM signage will be
addressed in a separate request.
Mr, Johnson noted that the original proposal had the corporate stagecoach logo on the directional
signs and that a revised proposal has been submitted removing the corporate logo.
Mr. Tdmten moved approval as condition, reiterating that corporate logos are not allowed and
will not be used on information/directional signage. Mr. Miller seconded the motion. Mr.
Johnson suggested adding for the record that the marquee signage is being removed; Mr. Tomten
noted that signage is an allowed use and therefore isn't an issue regarding a possible
grandfathering of use. Motion of approval passed unanimously.
Case No. DR/OO-19 Design review of a boat ticket office south of the Main Street parking lot.
Mark Balay, representing Andiamo Enterprises,
Mr. Balay explaining the location of the site. The request is for a 25x50' structure of galvanized
siding in keeping with the industrial look in the area, he said, with wood trim soffit. Lights would
be placed at the front entrance only. The request is for two signs, one flush mounted above the
entrance and other mounted vertically off the roof on the west elevation. Colors would be red
with a dark gray or bronze background; Mr. Balay said he would return with final colors for the
signage and the building trim/framing. Ms. Fitzgerald noted that just one sign is allowed.
Mr. Kimbrel asked about landscaping. Mr. Balay said that except for the area right in front of
the entrance, there will be gravel the rest of the way to the end of the property; there will be
some shrubs and plantings. Mr. Balay also noted the DOT owns the property from the highway
to the proposed site.
Mr. Johnson asked about lighting. Mr. Balay said he would like to use pedestrian lights similar to
the NSP lights, and he said the existing NSP pole lights on the property will likely remain. Mr.
Johnson said he would like to see the floodlights removed from the utility poles; Ms. Fitzgerald
will check to see if that is possible.
Mr. Eastwood expressed a concern about the use of the galvanized siding. Later in the
discussion, Mr, Tomten noted the design guidelines call for new construction to be of materials
compatible with surrounding structures, and Mr. Miller pointed out there are other buildings in
the downtown constructed of the corrugated siding. Mr. Tomten said he would be more
concerned if the proposal was to use vinyl siding.

Mr. Miller asked about the number of parking spaces. Mr, Balay said a variance will be required
for parking as the property where parking will be located is leased from the railroad; unofficially,
he said, the site can accommodate about 45 cars,
Mr. Lieberman, seconded by Mr. Johnson, moved approval as conditioned. Motion passed
unanimously.
Case No. SUP/DRlOO-28 Design review of four-unit housing structure located on Olive Street
between Second Street and Third Street. Donald and Marianne Nolde, applicants.
Present for the discussion were Donald and Marianne Nolde and architect Jerry Runk.
It was noted that height is not an issue. The building is about 10 feet under the maximum
allowable 50 foot building height. The only variance required is for construction of residential
units in the downtown business district.
Mr. Runk briefly reviewed design plans and provided samples of brick/rock.face concrete block
and cloth awnings, Most of the discussion centered on ways to improve the pedestrian scale
appearance of the building. Suggestions included the introduction of some brick by the garage
doors and the use of a brick pilaster at the west end to terminate with a brick comer post at the
other end.
Mr. Lieberman summed up the discussion by saying he thought it is important to provide
residential housing in the downtown area,
Mr. Kimbrel moved to approve as conditioned with the applicant to provide a brick pilaster on
the west comer and landscaping if possible, Mr. Johnson seconded the motion; motion passed
unanimously.
Other items:
· Presentation of draft Hersey Staples & Co. architectural survey by Don Empson. Mr. Empson
said the narrative is pretty much done and is on schedule; a final draft should be completed in
a month or two, Members expressed appreciation of the readability of the document. Mr.
Kimbrel noted that #20 is missing from the description of the Bird's Eye View Map. Mr.
Johnson asked if in addition to listing homes by date, it might also be possible to list the
homes by streets.
· HPC annual awards. Ms. Fitzgerald noted the awards were to be presented at the May 2 City
Council meeting. Mr. Lieberman was to attend the meeting for the presentations.
· Ms. Diem provided elevations of the addition/renovation project at St. Michael's Catholic
Church. Mr. Johnson said he thought the HPC should review the project. Ms. Fitzgerald said
she will check with Mr. Russell on that issue.
· Mr. Johnson raised an issue regarding a wall pack mounted by the doors at the new ice sheet
at the Recreation Center.

landscaping in the right-of-way if necessary.

Present: Howard Lieberman, chairperson
Beth Diem, Phil Eastwood, Jeff Johnson, Robert Kimbrel, Dean Miller
and Roger Tomten
Others: Planner Sue Fitzgerald; Mayor Jay Kimble
Mr. Lieberman called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. and thanked Mayor Kimble for his
attendance to update the Commission on the historic lift bridge issues.
Mayor .Kimble discussed the process and status of negotiations regarding both the historic lift
bridge and the proposed new river crossing, He noted that the City has tried to keep the new
bridge and the lift bridge as separate issues and is on record supporting the mitigation plan, and
that if mitigation fails, it will be 20-30 years before a new bridge is constructed. He also noted
that the City Council, by resolution, has directed that he be the City's negotiator. Mr. Kimble
reminded members that the Heritage Preservation Commission is advisory to the City Council. If
the HPC believes a letter should be sent to Secretary of Interior Babbitt, for example, the
Commission should send a memo indicating its position to the City Council, and if the press calls
for a statement, members are welcome to give quotes as private citizens, but not as representative
of a position by the Heritage Preservation Commission, he said.
It was suggested that it would be helpful if the HPC was kept apprised of the status of
negotiations. Mr, Kimble responded that is not always possible in a public forum, but members
are welcome to call him at any time, with questions or comments. Mr. Johnson noted that there is
supposed to be a Council liaison to the HPC and encouraged participation by the liaison in the
future.
Mr. Lieberman brought the discussion to a close by saying he respected the work of the Mayor
and Council and by noting that this Mayor and Council have been more supportive of HPC
efforts than have others in the past.
Approval of minutes: Mr, Kimbrel, seconded by Mr. Tomten, moved approval of the minutes of
March 6, 2000; all in favor.
Case No. DR/OO-06 Design review of building renovation at 220 E. Mulberry St. Tony Lodge,
applicant.
Mr. Lodge briefly reviewed his plans. He stated he is still working with the City engineers
regarding a second curb cut to provide for off-street parking at the rear of the building. There are
some unknowns at this time, he said.
Mr. Johnson noted there is a structural defect in the building which is accentuated by the
proposed full mansard roof. He suggested the possibility of awnings over the doorways/windows
to accent the building, rather than the strong horizontal look of the mansard roof.

Heritage Preservation Commission
. April 3, 2000
Mr. Tomten referenced several desirable architectural elements for commercial buildings in the
historic downtown district - recessed entries; cloth awnings; storefront glass or store windows;
continuous lintel; defining pilasters. Mr. Johnson noted including those design elements might
even be less expensive than the proposed design.
Mr, Lodge was not enthusiastic about the use of awnings, and expressed a concern about cost,
noting that he had hoped to do much of the construction work himself. Mr. Tomten pointed out
that if the doorways are recessed, awnings may not be needed. Mr, Tomten and Mr. Johnson
reiterated the concern about the proposed asphalt roof mansard as not being appropriate within
the downtown design guidelines, and Mr, Johnson again pointed out incorporating some of Mr.
Tomten's suggestions might not be that much more costly than Mr. Lodge's initial design
proposal. Mr. Tomten volunteered to work with Mr. Lodge in developing a building appearance
more contributing to the historic district.
.
Mr. Kimbrel moved approval as conditioned by staff, with the additional condition that the
applicant work with Mr, Tomten to develop a more appropriate design. Mr. Johnson suggested
that the motion be amended to indicate Mr. Tomten had volunteered his assistance, and that Mr.
Tomten's assistance be limited to getting the applicant working in the right direction rather than
doing the entire building design. Mr. Kimbrel agreed to incorporate that language into the
motion. Mr. Lodge questioned whether he would be limited in color to dark brown or dark red as
indicated in the staff conditions (he had proposed a tan color); members indicated dark brown or
dark red were not the only options and that Mr. Tomten could assist in color options. Mr.
Johnson seconded the amended motion; amended motion passed unanimously.
Case No. DR/OO-07 Design review of exterior signage at 221 N. Main St. Kerry Larson,
representing Valley Co-op.
Upon questioning by Mr. Kimbrel, it was noted the two proposed signs are part of an overall sign
package for the Maple Island Building. Mr. Kimbrel then moved approval as conditioned.
Mr. Johnson asked whether there would be any border to define the limits of the sign. Mr.
Johnson suggested the proposed lettering fits the height but not the width of the signage, and he
asked whether there would be other graphics on the ends of the sign or whether the wave design
would be elongated. Mr. Larson responded that there will be a natural wood border, much like
the Northern Vineyards signage, that will frame the lettering. Mr. Larson said the intent was for
the signage to be consistent with others on the building and in the area, and from an advertising
standpoint, he said, the proposed signage works best. Mr. Larson also stated the waves would be
more elongated that it appeared in the graphic provided in the agenda packet.
Mr. Miller seconded the motion of approval as conditioned; motion passed unanimously.
.
Case No. DR/OO-08 Design review of Territorial Prison walkway. Amy Stefan, representing the
City of Stillwater,

Heritage Preservation Commission
April 3, 2000
Ms. Stefan briefly reviewed the concept plans for a trail/walkway at the Territorial Prison site.
She said her function is not to design interpretative displays but to suggest possible themes for
development when funding becomes available. She said the concept design is being developed to
the extent possible with the developers' information; the developer will be responsible for
maintaining the trail, she noted.
Mr. Kimbrel asked about the trail material, whether it would be a more natural material or
bituminous; Mr. Tomten suggested that the trail materials be "genuine" material. Mr. Johnson
said he was more concerned about the method of repairing the walls on site, Ms. Fitzgerald
suggested it might be possible to have a representative from Barr Engineering, the firm that will
be doing the wall project, attend an upcoming HPC meeting to discuss that issue.
Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Lieberman, moved approval of the direction of the concept plan,
with the understanding that the issues of trail material, wall restoration and lighting will be
addressed further. Motion passed unanimously.
Other business
· Ms. Fitzgerald said Mr. Empson should have some material regarding the Hersey Staples &
Co. architectural survey available by the next meeting. Mr. Tomten asked about funding for
the next architectural survey. Ms. Fitzgerald said she has received approval to apply for a
grant; ifthe grant is approved, the next survey will be of the Carli-Schulenberg Addition.
· Mr, Eastwood asked abut a banner on the rear of Maple Island Hardware building. It was
noted that three signs were allowed at that location, with the owner to decide where to place
the signs. Mr. Johnson suggested looking at that case file to determine the HPC's previous
action in the matter.
· There was a brief discussion of members' reaction to Mr. Kimble's comments regarding the
lift bridge.
Mr. Kimbrel, seconded by Mr. Eastwood, moved to adjourn at 8:30 p.m.; all in favor.

approval. When asked about the proposed wall-mounted light by the front office entry area, he
said it would be a typical lantern fixture, but if there was a problem with that proposal, he would
eliminate the light at that location. All other lighting will be commercial type, downlit fixtures.
There will be no lighting along the sides or rear of the building; the lighting above the garage
doors will be downlit.
Regarding signage, Mr. Kennedy said the sign will not be lighted. If he cannot meet the required
setback - 15 feet from the front or side property line - the sign will be eliminated.
Ms. Diem asked about the concern regarding architectural consistency raised at the February
meeting. Mr. Tomten said his concern was with the design guidelines that calls for consistency in
detailing on all sides of a building; although, he said, he understood the intent of trying to give a
more residential look to the office entry. Mr. Lieberman said Mr. Kennedy was simply trying to
take a one-dimensional, functional building and give a little different look to the front. Mr.
Tomten agreed that he would have more of a concern ifMr, Kennedy's building was the first or
second building in the IP area, rather than being an in-fill structure, and he agreed that the
proposed plans fit in with other buildings in the area that have more of a residential look.
Mr. Kimbrel, seconded by Mr. Lieberman, moved approval as conditioned; motion passed
unanimously. Mr. Kennedy asked about the lighting by the front entry; it was the consensus that
lighting at that location would be OK if the fixture is covered and downlighted.
Case No. DR/OO-04 Design review of exterior signage and fencing at 233 S. Second St. in the
CBD, Central Business District. Cindie Sinclair, representing Camrose Hill, applicant.
Ms. Sinclair was present. She said there is still some question as to whether the fencing at the

not moved, any new fencing will be much the same, just a different color - olive green. Mr,
Tomten noted that the current store fencing is more of a trellis than fence, addressing any
potential design-guideline concern regarding fencing. Mr. Tomten, as did other members, said he
liked the vision ofthe design proposal.
Regarding signage, Ms. Sinclair said the request is to have signage on the front of the building
(Second Street elevation) and one on the pergola. Ms. Fitzgerald noted that Ms. Sinclair had
inquired about the possibility of having directional signage on Main Street at some point in the
future and suggest that is an issue the HPC might want to look into. Mr. Tomten noted that since
the building in question is a multi-tenant building, a signage plan should be prepared.
Mr. Lieberman, seconded by Mr, Eastwood, moved approval as presented, allowing two signs
and suggesting that the Second Street signage be presented as a sign plan to be reviewed by city
staff. Mr. Tomten suggested adding language clarifying that a directional sign on Main Street is
not included in the approval; Mr. Lieberman and Mr. Eastwood agreed to that amendment to the
motion. Motion passed unanimously.

Case No. DR/OO-05 Design review of exterior modifications and signage at Shorty Cleaner and
Launderer at 121 East Chestnut St. in the CBD, Central Business District. Joleen Bourdaghs and
Carol Eggers representing Shorty's, applicants,
Ms. Bourdaghs was present. She stated due to the condition of the building, it will not be
possible to reuse the existing brick; however, the new brick will match the old to the extent
possible.
The main point of discussion centered on the location of the windows. Mr. Tomten said currently
the tops of the windows line up; as proposed, the window tops would not line up. Mr. Tomten
asked if the applicant would be willing to consider transom panels above the new windows and
door to be more in keeping with the historical character of the building. Mr. Tomten also said he
favored colored concrete rather than brick for the sills, and he suggested the applicant try to
minimize the amount of aluminum used if the existing tile can't be saved.
Mr. Lieberman suggested allowing the applicant to work out the design details with city staff.
Mr. Lieberman, seconded by Mr. Kimbrel, moved approval as conditioned, with the final design
element details to be worked out with the applicant and city staff in consultation with Mr.
Tomten so proper information can be communicated to the builder. Motion passed unanimously.

said he would like to see additional categories, such as residential or B&Bs. Mr. Lieberman said
that is something to look at for future awards.
Other items:
There was a brief discussion of the issue of closing in the open stairwell at the Lumber Baron's
Hotel. It was noted that the building is for sale and the issue should be addressed if there is a
change in ownership. Mr. Kimbrel also asked about the issue of vending machine signage; Ms.
Fitzgerald said that is a dead issue.
Mr. Li~berman, seconded by Mr. Tomten, moved to adjourn at 9 p.m.
