City Council Meeting - 07-19
OPEN FORUM
August 21, 2007
Mike Robinson, 801 W. Pine St., spoke of the budget and proposed parking ramp. He
said it does not appear the parking ramp meets the budget and suggested the ramp is
something the City does not need and cannot afford in these times of budget
constraints. He spoke of the need for public restrooms in the downtown area. He
commended the Council for their hard work in the budget deliberations. Mayor Harycki
pointed out there is a possibility of the City getting some restroom facilities in connection
with the upcoming levee project.
STAFF REPORTS
Fire Chief Glaser updated the Council on the storm events of Aug. 11-14, including two
structure fires the morning of Aug. 11. He said the department responded to 46 calls
during the three days. In addition to the Fire Department, the Police and Public Works
departments provided assistance in responding to calls, he pointed out.
Community Development Director Turnblad told the Council that the Comprehensive
Plan update process is now in the second phase, establishing goals and policies. He
said the intent is to schedule a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and City
Council to review the draft of the goals and policies. He said it is felt that the draft
document should be ready by early November and asked about possible dates for the
joint meeting, Thursday, Nov. 8, or Monday, Nov. 19. It was consensus to schedule the
joint meeting for Nov. 8.
Public Works Director Sanders reported that the lift bridge would be closed to one lane

PUBLIC HEARINGS -Out of respect for others in attendance, please limit your
comments to 10 minutes or less.
Case No. 07-32. This is the date and time for a public hearing for the final plat approval of
Fairway Villas, a development of property at 1902 North William Street into 22 twinhomes (11
buildings with two homes per building) and development agreement. MBM Development, Bob
Clark, applicant. Notices were mailed to affected property owners on August 14, 2007 and
published in the Stillwater Gazette on June 8, 2007. Continued from August 7, 2007 meeting).
_ _ Mayor Harycki recused himself from this case. Vice Mayor Milbrandt assumed control of
the meeting. Community Development Director Turnblad reviewed the final plat for
Fairway Villas. Mr. Turnblad pointed out the preliminary plat, submitted in April, included
22 units. Subsequent to review and approval by the Brown's Creek Watershed District
Board, the two most northwesterly lots were removed altogether and replaced with an
outlot, leaving a total of 20 units, 10 buildings, and 3 outlots. Except for the change in
the number of buildings, Mr. Turnblad stated the conditions that were approved with the
preliminary plat have been met in the final plat, and approval is recommended with the
10 conditions included in the resolution of approval. In addition to approval by Brown's
Creek Watershed, it was noted that the Met Council had reviewed and approved the
Comprehensive Plan amendment for this development.
Vice Mayor Milbrandt opened the public hearing.
Brian Larson, 2008 Hazel Court, asked about lighting and whether there would be
streetlights in the center turnaround and at the entrance from Hazel. He stated he would
prefer there not be street lights; if street lights must be installed, he said he would like to
see the lighting limited to the light by Hazel Court itself and also that the lighting be
limited to pedestrian scale. He also asked whether on-street parking would be permitted
and that he would not like to see on-street parking spill out onto Hazel. He suggested
that with the two lots opening up in the northwest portion of the site perhaps that area
could be used for off-street, nose-in parking if necessary. Mr. Larson also said he would
like it specified iii the development agreement that the architecture be that as shown in
the plans of Dec. 15, 2007.
Mr. Turnblad responded to Mr. Carson's questions. Mr.Turnblad stated the lighting plan,
which does include two streetlights in the cul-de-sac and one at the entrance, was
developed to meet the City's minimum lighting requirements. However, he noted the
plan could be amended. Regarding on-street parking, he said it would be possible to
configure the final civil engineering plans so there is enough street width to allow for on-
street parking on one side of the street, and he said it would be possible to put nose-in
parking on outlot C if necessary. Mr. Turnblad pointed out that this is not a PUD; the
City is lacking some of the controls it would have over architecture. Attorney Magnuson
noted the language in the development agreement promises the developer will build out
the project according to the plans they submitted, implying the project will follow the
general design pattern that was proposed and looked at by the City. Mr. Magnuson also
pointed out that requiring a parking lot is not something the zoning district or zoning
Page 3 of 12
City Council Meeting - 07-19
August 21, 2007
ordinance requires. Mr. Magnuson suggested that if the developer agrees, the City
could try to come up with some language that is more specific about the design. From a
legal standpoint, Mr. Magnuson noted that all the City can require is that buildings
conform to the standards of the zoning district. Brian Larson stated his concern
regarding on-street parking is due to the potential impact on the adjacent neighborhood
if there is a problem with the provision of on-street parking within the development; if
parking can be accommodated within the development, he said there would be no
issue. From a design standpoint, Mr. Larson suggested it would be a matter of asking
that the buildings be substantially similar to what has been repeatedly shown in plans.
Mary Harycki, 2004 Hazel Court, agreed with Mr. Carson's comments regarding lighting,
asking that street lighting be kept to a minimum. Ms. Harycki also asked that there be
some specific language regarding architecture and design. Ms. Harycki also raised a
concern/issue about the safety of retaining walls.
Ken Harycki, 2004 Hazel Court, stated that in conjunction with the North Hill project, a
resident survey was conducted as to what folks wanted the neighborhood to look like.
He said the overwhelming response to a question regarding street lighting was that
people did not want streetlights. He spoke in favor of eliminating or minimizing the
streetlights. He echoed comments regarding designs and plans that were previously
shown in the preliminary drawings.
No other comments were received, and the hearing was closed.
Councilmember Polehna asked if the streetlights are a requirement. Public Works
Director Sanders responded that it is a standard and policy to require developers to
install their own streetlights so the City does not have to pay for them or assess for the
lights in the future. Vice Mayor Milbrandt asked about trail dedication.
Mr. Turnblad responded that the trail plan refers to a connection between the Hazel
Street area and Brown's Creek Valley (Zephyr tracks) trail. He said there likely would be
a blanket easement over the new outlbt (lots 9 and 10) for future trail purposes,
preserving that potential future connection to the Zephyr trail.
Councilmember Gag asked if it was the Council's prerogative to eliminate the provision
of streetlight's from the conditions of approval. City Attorney Magnuson suggested that
the development agreement requires the submission of a lighting plan approved by the
City Engineer, and the Council could direct the City Engineer to approve a plan with
minimal street lighting.
Bob Clark of the development company stated they would be agreeable to the wishes to
eliminate or minimize street lighting. He also noted that the provision of an easement for
a future trail connection had already been agreed to, but asked that the easement be in
an area that would not affect the usability of the outlot for future common use by the
residents of the development. City Attorney Magnuson suggested that in addition to
retaining drainage and utility easements, the City retain a trail easement over the entire
Page 4 of 12
City Council Meeting - 07-19
August 21, 2007
lot, with the agreement, the City will eventually release portions not needed to
accommodate the trail. Mr. Clark also pointed out that the provision of off-street parking
could be accommodated without having to go back to the Brown's Creek Watershed
District. Regarding architecture, Mr. Clark stated they have a strong history of
architectural review in their developments. He said with the exception of some
modifications such as required by the lay of the land, the buildings should be
substantially similar to what was shown in concept plans, and he said they would be
comfortable with adding such language to the development agreement -that the
buildings will be substantially similar to what was submitted and reviewed in the past.
Councilmember Nyberg asked whether it would be better to accommodate on-street
parking by widening the street or providing the parking at outlot C. Community
Development Director Turnblad noted in either option, there will be on-street parking in
several areas. It was noted that the development does meet the minimum parking
requirements on the individual building pads. Councilmember Polehna pointed out that
a parking area in the Outlot could serve as trailhead parking as well. Councilmember
Nyberg asked if there were any requirements that would address the comment/concern
regarding the retaining wall height. Community Development Director Turnblad stated
while there are general engineering standards, there are no code requirements
regarding retaining wall height and the provision for a safety railing. Attorney Magnuson
pointed out there is a requirement in the building code that any wall over 48" high must
be designed by an engineer. Councilmember Gag noted there is a list of 11 points
raised by the engineering department and asked if those points had been addressed.
Community Development Director Turnblad those points are addressed in the condition
of approval that states that before the developer is given a construction conference, the
engineering department must approve the project's civil engineering plans.
Vice Mayor Milbrandt summed up the points of discussion and agreement that the
developer shall submit and engineering department approve'a minimalist lighting plan.
One that will include landscape type lighting at the entrance of the development; that an
off-street parking plan be developed by City staff and the developers' engineers at outlot
C; and thaf there' be language added to the development agreement that the building
design will be substantially the same as submitted previously.
Motion by Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt Resolution
2007-155, a resolution approving the final plat and development agreement for Fairway Villas,
with all listed conditions of approval, as well as minimal lighting, evaluating nose-in parking at
the outlot (lots 9 and 10) by City staff, and language reflecting that the building design will be
similar to that submitted in the preliminary platting in favor of placing some kind of plantings by
the retaining walls for safety reasons. Councilmember Gag agreed to include such language in
the resolution. Vice Mayor Milbrandt pointed out there are a number of high retaining walls in
the City, and the City has not required those property owners to provide shrubs/plantings.
Councilmember Gag suggested leaving the requirement for plantings or other safety measures
to the discretion of the engineering department. Councilmember Gag stated he would amend
the resolution to indicate that safety be added to the 11 items of the engineering review that
must be addressed in the final project civil engineering plans; Councilmember Polehna
Page 5 of 12
City Council Meeting - 07-19
August 21, 2007
seconded the amended motion. Vice Mayor Milbrandt suggested adding language to the
engineering review issue No. 3 that retaining walls over 4' high be engineered and reviewed
for safety issues. Councilmembers Gag and Polehna agreed to Vice Mayor Milbrandt's
suggested language.
Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg and Polehna
Nays: None
Mayor Harycki returned to the dais and assumed control of the meeting.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Discussion on Fairway Villas Hook-up Fees (continued from July 17, 2007 meeting)
Public Works Director Sanders noted that when the North Hill project was completed, a
hookup charge was set at $25,000, a fee that has been adjusted annually. He pointed
out when the charge was established, the City was looking at vacant parcels, infill lot
possibilities, rather than a 22-lot development such as Fairway Villas. Using the
standard hookup charge, the fee would be over $599,000 (for 22 lots). Mr. Sanders
reviewed three options for the Council's consideration. Using a unit option based on the
total North Hill project cost, the fee would be $436,000. Using the assessed cost of the
project for sewer and water main, the fee would be $9,073 per unit or $172,000 for 19
units. Mr. Sanders pointed out that there is an existing house in the project area that
has already been assessed for sewer and water, thus resulting in 19 units to determine
the fee in this option. Using an area option, total sewer and water cost divided by the
project acreage, would result in a fee of $26,251 per acre or a total of $177,456 for 6.76
acres. By comparison, Mr. Sanders noted that the fee for the Legends and Liberty
developments was $10,682 per acre and the fee for the Millbrook development $5,427
per unit.
City Attorney Magnuson pointed out that the North Hill project included assessments for
street and gutter; which in this case the developer will be providing, so the trunk
availability benefit is what actually benefits this project. Mayor Harycki pointed out the
actual North Hill cost was not $9,000 per unit, but $18,000 because of the City's 50
percent contribution. Mayor Harycki said the fee should look at the true cost of bringing
in sanitary sewer and water to the North Hill, versus looking at other developments.
Councilmember Polehna pointed out that the Fairway Villas developers are installing
their own sanitary, water, streets, in addition to the hookup fee. Councilmember
Polehna said he thought Option 3, using the assessment rate, $9,073 per unit, seemed
to be the fairest and most comparable to what everyone else in the North Hill project
area paid. Mayor Harycki reiterated that fee is a 50 percent cost, not the 100 percent
cost, due to the City's contribution. Councilmember Milbrandt noted the per unit
assessment rate is what everyone else in the North Hill project area paid, all the
residents of Stillwater contributed to the City's 50 percent contribution.

August 21, 2007
Mayor Harycki spoke of the difficult budget times and said he did not want to be seen as
subsidizing a developer at the expense of City employees. Councilmember Nyberg
spoke of the fees generated by development and the potential loss of revenue should
this development not proceed. City Attorney Magnuson pointed out the assessments
and hookup charges are pledged to a debt service fund and would have to be held in a
debt service fund and applied to the debt service bonds -the money couldn't be taken
from the debt service fund and applied to the general fund unless there was an over
levy remaining after the bonds were sold. Councilmember Gag said he thought the
issue was one of fairness and said he thought a fee of $180,000 was a reasonable
amount.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt
Resolution 2007-156, a resolution adopting Fairway Villas hookup fees, which is $9,073 per
unit.
Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg and Polehna
Nays: Mayor Harycki
Possible first reading of Ordinance No. 989, an ordinance establishing minimum standards for
construction and reconstruction of driveways
Public Works Director Sanders said subsequent to the first discussion of this matter, he
had talked to other cities and contractors to obtain additional input. He said he found
there is a variety in standards for concrete driveways, ranging from 4" to 7". He stated
that contractors recommend a thicker concrete section; 5 or 6" is generally what they
use. In the past, the City did use 6" of concrete as the design for putting in driveways
when the City did reconstruction projects, but has switched to 5" as the City's standard.
Mr. Sanders said he would recommend the 5" thickness for concrete, which he said
does not add that much to the cost. It was noted this is the standard being used in the
Eagle Ridge project area. Councilmember Milbrandt said his concern in the first
discussion was that the City was raising the bar too high, but said he thought this (5" for
concrete) for a reasonable number and not prohibitive. Mr. Sanders noted language had
been added regarding compaction and an additional sub-cut depending on the condition
of underlying soils to prevent heaving. Mr. Sanders said a change to item No. 5 in the
ordinance language is recommended, changing the notice to contractors from the
obligation ofthe Community Development Department to the Public Works Director or
Engineering Department; City Attorney Magnuson noted that had been done in the
revised language.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to approve the
first reading of Ordinance No. 989, an ordinance establishing minimum standards for
construction and reconstruction of driveways.

NEW BUSINESS
August 21, 2007
Discussion and possible approval of resolution adopting new monthly rate schedule for solid
waste collection with Waste Management
Director of Administration Knauss stated the City is currently in a five-year contract,
2006-2010, with Waste Management for solid waste collection and recycling. The
contract includes a re-opener provision if tipping fees increase or decrease by 7.5
percent a ton or more. Ms. Knauss said tipping fees have increased from $34 a ton to
_ _ $50 a ton effective July 1, 2007, a 47 percent increase, with another increase scheduled
for July 1, 2008. She pointed out that Waste Management must deliver the City's waste
to the resource recovery facility and does not have the option of going elsewhere for a
lower fee. As a result, Waste Management has requested an increase in collection fees.
She stated staff has looked at usage and about a 60 cent per month per household
increase is needed. She said there are two options for the increase - an across the
board 60 cent increase or an option that weighs more heavily on the larger containers,
as a means of encouraging recycling and reducing solid waste. She noted the current
contract agreement with Waste Management allows for only one rate increase in any
12-month period, so the proposal is for the new rate to be effective Oct. 1, 2007-Dec.
31, 2008. Mayor Harycki asked about the reason for the increase in tipping fee. Jennifer
Klennert of Waste Management explained that the resource recovery facility, once
owned by Washington and Ramsey counties, has been sold to a private entity that is
now on a schedule to have a fee closer to reflecting the actual cost of processing the
waste. Ms Klennert stated that additional increases are likely.
Councilmember Polehna asked about the possibility of additional recycling service. Ms.
Knauss noted that residents could request a larger, 96-gallon, recycling container.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember'Polehna to adopt
Resolution 2007-157, establishing a monthly rate schedule for the collection of solid waste
and recycling effective October 1, 2007-December 31, 2008, which approved Option 2 for
implementing the 60-cent increase. All in favor.
Report on OSHA inspection and possible adoption of resolution approving settlement
agreement
Director of Administration Knauss reported on an OSHA general inspection that took
place July 18, 2007. She stated the City Hall, Police and Fire department inspections
resulted in no proposed citations. She informed the Council that the Public Works
facility inspection resulted in two proposed citations, one for a confined space entry
permit form and another for excessive water pressure in an eyewash station. The
proposed citations resulted in a fine of $1,400, she stated. She explained that due to
credits, the City qualifies for a settlement agreement, which reduces the penalties by 30
percent or a total of $980. She noted that should the City choose to enter the settlement
agreement, it waives the right to contest any part of the citation. Mayor Harycki asked if
entering the settlement agreement could have a future impact. Attorney Magnuson
Page 8 of 12
City Council Meeting - 07-19
August 21, 2007
noted that would only occur if a future violation would be determined to be "willful." Mr.
Magnuson said he thought entering the settlement agreement would be beneficial. Ms.
Knauss noted that both violations have been corrected.
Motion by Councilmember Nyberg, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt Resolution
2007-158, approval of settlement agreement with Minnesota Department of Labor and
Industry, Occupational Safety and Health Division.

Possible acceptance of bids and awarding of contract for 2007 Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project
Public Works Director Sanders stated three bids had been received for the sidewalk
project, with Curb Masters being the low bid at $42,385.15. He noted the project also
includes some City sidewalks. The bid for the assessed portion of the work was
$37,000, and he pointed out that $50,000 was budgeted for the sidewalk rehabilitation
project.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg to adopt Resolution
2007-159, accepting bid and awarding contract for 2007 Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project

Possible award of a contract to the 106 Group for the City's Heirloom Homes Program
Community Development Director Turnblad explained that the State Historical Society
has awarded the City a $10,000 grant for the first year of implementing a local historic
designation program, an heirloom/landmark home program. The Council approved the
grant contract in"'June. Subsequent to~approving the grant contract, the City issued
requests for proposals to do the consulting work. He noted the heart of the work in the
first year of the program would be to create a support and information system, create a
database and web presence, and document 70, or about 10 percent, of the City's
heirloom hot'nes. Three responses were received to the request for proposals, and the
Heritage Preservation Commission has recommended awarding the contract to the 106
Group. Mr. Turnblad explained that the other proposal seriously considered by the HPC
was from Don Empson who has done a lot of local work in the past. He stated the HPC
felt that what needs to be done in the first year is primarily technology work, which the
106 Group has the most expertise in doing, while research, the second and third phases
of the program, is Mr. Empson's forte. Councilmembers Nyberg expressed a concern
that 70 percent of the homes will be done in the first year and the 106 proposal includes
no time for interviewing homeowners. If the homeowners do not understand the
program, Councilmember Nyberg suggested the success of the program might be
hindered. Mayor Harycki agreed with the importance of personal contact with the
Page 9 of 12
City Council Meeting - 07-19
August 21, 2007
homeowners, and he referred to the difference in rates in the proposals from 106 Group
and Mr. Empson.
Mr. Turnblad explained that the Heirloom Home program is voluntary and only exterior
photos of homes will be displayed on the web site. The information will include historical
information, but no personal information. Mr. Turnblad spoke of the importance of
establishing a good framework for the program, and said if there is not a whole lot of
time for research, that is not the point of the first year. Councilmember Gag, liaison to
the HPC, noted that the HPC had a subcommittee that reviewed the proposals, followed
_ _ by discussion of the whole HPC in August and a unanimous recommendation to go with
the 106 Group. Councilmember Gag pointed out that the next phases of the project will
be history and research intensive, where Mr. Empson's vision will be truly needed.

Discussion on Auditing Services
Finance Director Harrison stated LarsonAllen has been providing auditing services for a
number of years. She stated the most current contract with LarsonAllen is a three-year
contract with' option to renew for an additional three years. The first three years of the
contract is up, and Ms. Harrison asked for direction on whether to issue RFPs or
negotiate a contract extension with LarsonAllen. The suggested Request for Proposals
is for afive-year contract, she stated, noting that most auditing firms request contracts
of that duration. Mayor Harycki said he was happy with the services received in the
past. City Administrator Hansen pointed out that there is no dissatisfaction with the
current firm.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg directed the Finance
Director to negotiate a three and five year contract with LarsonAllen and bring back to Council
for review. All in favor.

COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS
Councilmember Milbrandt referred to an a-mail regarding a public hearing on the
Jackson Wildlife Management Area and questioned whether the DNR would remove the
area from the Wildlife Management designation and offer the property for sale to a
private entity should no interest be shown by a governmental body. City Administrator
Hansen said a representative of the City would be attending the public hearing, but said
he did not think the DNR could sell the property to an entity other than a public body.
Community Development Director Turnblad said the implication is that if no public entity
desires to acquire the property, the DRIR may place the property in a less restrictive
classification of properties it owns. City Administrator Hansen stated it is his
understanding that Brown's Creek Watershed District is interested in acquiring the
property.
