hired, not two part-time positions. He stated there was no need to hire anyone other than a full-time
receptionist for the front office. Due to changes in job duties and the increase in finance department staffIng
in past years, the finance department appeared to be adequately staffed at this time.
.'
Council determined the top priority was to have a receptionist at the front desk 100 percent of the time.
They encouraged the better utilization of computers or outsourcing to meet fmance department needs rather
than hiring new staff. Councilmember Cummings stated he was most comfortable with City Coordinator
Kriesel making the decision; that is where his expertise lies.
Motion by Councilmember Zoller, seconded by Councilmember Cummings directing City Coordinator Kriesel
to determine the method of replacement of the Junior Account Clerk, with no increase in staff levels, and further
directing City Coordinator Kriesel to develop a job description for the receptionist position. All in favor.
Police Chief BelJerg requested the purchase of two marked squad cars from Superior Ford (State of
Minnesota Contract) for $40,176. He also reported the testing for the Captains position was complete. The
selection panel selected Sergeant Larry Dauffenbach to fill the position created by the retirement. of Captain
Tim Bell. He requested appointment effective February 16, 1998. (action for both requests on consent
agenda)
. ,
Parks Director Thomsen requested the purchase of a Gateway computer and programs Jor approximately
$1800. The funding would come from the Parks Department capital outlay office budget.
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Bealka to approve the purchase of
computer and software for Parks Department at approximate cost of $1800. All in favor:
Building OffIcial Zepper requested the purchase oftwo Gateway computers, modem, arid .laser pfinter for'
Building Department at a cost of approximately $470,0, with funds in 1998 capital olJtlay budget.
Motion by Councilmember CUIplIlings, 's'econded by Councilmember Bealka approving the purchase of two
computers, modem, and laser printer fot Building Department at approxllnate cost' of $4700. All in favor.
, ,
City Attorney Magnuson reported a citizen had questioned if Councilmember Cummings is disqualified from
voting on the rezoning of property in the orderly annexation area because Councilmember Cummings ' wife
worked from time to time as a hostess ,011 open houses for Charles Cudd, one of the potential builders tllat
will be buying the property from COI\tractor Property Developers Company, (CPDC), He presented his
opinion that Charles Cudd and Company is not an owner of the land in question but is rather a potential' ,
builder who is expected to buyJots from CPDC within the newly rezoned area. It is- not Councilmember
Cummings who shares a financial relationship with Charles Cudd and Company , it is his wife. Herinterest
does not appeaL significantly direct to disqualify Councilmember Cummings from voting on the rezoning.
City Clerk Weldon reported Minnesota precinct caucuses will be held March 3, 1998. Minn. Stat. SS_
, 202A.14; 202A.19 states Council may not meet after 6 p.m. on uniform precinct caucus day. Council was

(SEH), traffic consultant; Sherry Buss, Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Assoc.(BRA), environmental consultant;
and Roger Tomten, design architect.
Community Development Director Russell reported the Planning Commission had held public hearings and .
recommended approval of the PUD' s, preliminary plats and zoning ordinances.
Glen Van Wormer, SEH, and Joe Lux, Washington County, presented traffic information on access, interior
circulation, impact on adjoining neighborhoods, and design of streets.
Dan Herbst, Pemtom Land Company, discussed design aspects of the development.
Kathryn Fernholzer and Dwight Jelle, Westwood Professional Services, Inc., presented their evaluation of the

Recessed at 9:05 p.m. Reconvened at 9:20 p.m.
Paula Newman Kroening and Robert Kroening .presented a history of the property and the planting of the trees
by the family.
The Mayor opened public hearings Nos. 2 - 14.
1. Jim Blau, 424 N. Greeley, expressed concern with watershed problems. He felt it was short sighted to
remove trees and add more roofs and paving. He preferred leaving the forest intact rather than small parks.
2. Hannah Dunevitz, St. Paul, plant ecologist with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), .
commended the developers for their care of the trees, but asked them to remember there is a difference in
replacing "trees" and a "forest". She stated there is a need to preserve the forest community intact as there
are very few sites left that meet DNR standards for a natural area. This area meets the DNR minimum
standards. She stated the area is a degraded forest community, but can be saved by methods such as
buckthorn control. She cited the case of Monticello saving a forest with the help of the DNR.
3. Laurie Maher, 3018 Marine Circle, Friends of Long lake Homeowners Association, expressed concerns with
the loss of wildlife in the area and discussed the DNR report in the AUAR that strongly recommended
keeping the forest intact, the open space committee report which ranked the forest as a moderate priority
area, and the comprehensive plan. She requested the cul-de-sac area within the forest be removed from the
plan. She suggested the developers gift that area to the city; volunteers would manage the area.
4. Todd King, 210 Wildwood Ct, Open Space Committee, stated their report indicated strong public support for
open space. Although the development meets the criteria of the ordinance, it does not meet the expectations
of the citizens of Stillwater. He asked the city not rush to take action, but take time to preserve the
ecosystem.
5. Angela Anderson, 1121 N, 4th Street, stated the trees would be in fragmented area; it would no longer be a
wood lot. She urged the woodland acreage be saved.
6. Leah Peterson, 7160 Midoaks Lane, asked this area be considered an historic natural area and be exempt .
from development. She requested Council consider not making a decision on this area tonight and
investigate the possible funding from the Green Corridor Protection Bill. Mayor Kimble reported this bill
8
City.Council Meeting No. 98-3
February 3, 1998
had already been researched, but the funding would not be for the 1998 biennium. Hannah Dunevitz, DNR,
stated there were several other sources of funding, including the National and Scenic Areas Grant Program.
.
Paula Newman Kroening, representing the Newman family, stated her father, Clay, studied forestry and
planted those trees. The family has donated a 2.2 acre island in its natural state and there will be a
pedestrian trail along the lake. These will be an asset to the City. Currently there is no way for the public
to enjoy these areas.
8. Sherri Buss, Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Assoc., reported the AUAR study included open space and all
environmental impacts. The report was developed with the assistance of a 30 person technical committee,
including the DNR. She stated there was not enough money for the City to purchase the property, so it was
recommended the city enforce the existing ordinances.
9. David Green, 204 Crestwood Terrace, compared this development with the Interlachen Hills development.
He stated the Interlachen Hills development agreement stated there would be no significant destruction of
trees; however, only nine remain. He asked Council if the ordinances have been improved since that time.
He asked for stronger ordinances and enforcement of those ordinances.
10. Corey Mohan, 1112 S. 2nd St., stated the open space committee report contradicted the report of Sherry
Buss. He repeated his earlier comment regarding the people of Stillwater giving strong support to
maintaining the open space. He asked council look at bonding options or other options for purchasing the
woodland.
11. Nancy Purcell, 2001 Hazel Ct, was impressed by all the work of citizen groups in the City, citing the 1993-
. 94 Ward Network. She believed laws were intact when annexation took place to protect against
development. She felt it ludicrous the City Council used environmental concerns of the City as justification
to Washington County for the need of the Manning A venue extension. She asked the City honor the
concerns of environment and preserve the oak forest and potential concerns of urban development.
12. John Whitcomb, 16141 N. 6th St., Lakeland, supported the development. He thanked Council and staff for
developing good ordinances. The developers will work with these. He stated the cost of each new
restriction, coupled with the limited land in Stillwater, will raise costs to the point it will unreasonably
restrict the ability of any but those of high income to live in Stillwater. Let good development take place that
is reasonably affordable.
13. Ed Otis, 12070 87th St. Circle, felt the City was not meeting the expectations of township residents that the
area would be developed with the least impact on residents and the ecosystem. He felt the rural transition
area was missing in many aspects. He had believed the City would be buying the park and greenways areas.
14. Dean Hanson, 402 S. 6th Street, stated he does insect surveys. He stated the intact forest is necessary for the
current ecosystem. Replacing trees won't replace what is lost.
15. John McCarthy, 2913 Marine Circle, requested Interlachen not be improved as a through street. He was
concerned with the possible increased traffic through Croixwood.
.. Hod Irvine, 12525 72nd Street SW, stated he did not receive notice of this hearing. He asked if there were
any changes in the development agreement and comprehensive plan. Mayor Kimble stated there have been
no changes. The zoning was being changed to allow further restrictions than are allowed in other zones.

City Council Meeting No. 98-3
February 3; 1998
17. Joe Lux, Washington County, discussed the Co, Rd. 12 access. At this point, Washington County has not
approved the access plan. The County Board will be scheduling a workshop.
18. Mar~ Putnum, Charles Cudd Company, stated the conditions of approval incorporate the Washington coul
reqUirement.
Mayor closed the public hearing at 11 :05 p.m.
Recessed at 11 :05
Reconvened at 11:12 p.m.
Community Development Director Russell clarified that the suggestions for modifications to the cottage and
traditional zone districts presented were part of the action regarding zone regulations. (6 foot garage setback
rather than 20 foot setback) Council concurred.
Mr. Herbst requested reconsideration of the lake shore setback and frontage requirements, 98-1, All of his plans
have been made to be in compliance with DNR requirements of a 75 foot setback. The City requirement would
be 85. Mr. Russell stated the DNR required setback based on our shoreland regulations are 75 feet, but all of
this project and the other projects are in excess of 85 feet.
Mr. Herbst responded this would require a couple of easements. Mr. Russell stated a setback of 75 feet is
required by the city for a recreational lake; the City will have easement and deed restrictions on the walkway
and will be regulating land area between structure and shoreland. As a compromise, he suggested the setback
be 85 feet, and through PUD approval, a maximum of Ih may be as close as 75 feet.
Councilmembers Cummings and Thole amended their motion to include the compromise position.
.
Councilmember Zoller disagreed that a compromise should be made. The Planning Commission recommended
85 feet in compromise with the public wanting the setbacks to be greater than 85 feet.
The developer was asked if the City could have the option to purchase the wooded area. Homer Tompkins,
CPDC, stated they would expect full value, including the enhancement value to neighborhood properties.
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Thole to have first reading of ordinance
approving zoning ordinance and map amendments ZAT 98-1, 98-2, 98-3, 98-4, and ZAM 98-1,98-2,98-3,98-
4, and 98-5.
Ayes: Councilmembers Zoller, Thole, Cummings, Bealka and Mayor Kimble.
Nays: None.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Cummings to adopt Resolution 98-38 approving
PUD/97-67 and preliminary plat approval for SUB/97-68, Legends of Stillwater; and PUD/97-70 and
preliminary plat approval for SUB/97-71, Liberty on Long Lake.
Ayes: Councilmembers Zoller, Thole, Cummings, Bealka and Mayor Kimble,
Nays: None.
Mayor Kimble requested City Attorney Magnuson explain what the City is legally allowed to extract from a
developer. Mr. Magnuson stated the City allowed by State law to extract reasonable amounts for parks,

Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Cummings directing staff to examine the
.sSibility of purchase of Echo Green and Gadient properties and further directing staff to make application for

MEMORANDUM
. TO: Mayor and Council
FR: City Coordinator
RE: Sewer line blockage
DA: February 13, 1998
Discussion:
Accompanying this memo is an invoice in the amount of $72.00 from Roto Rooter for clearing a
sewer line at 615 Pine Tree Trail on January 19, 1998. According to public works personnel, the
city's main sewer line was blocked and not the private line. The property owner is asking the city
to pay the bill for the service. I concur and have added this payment to the list of bills for your
review and approval.
Recommendation:
Pay bill for clearing sewer line at 615 Pine Tree Trail. '

RE:
Public Hearing for Curve Crest Boulevard Street Rehabilitation and
Sidewalk Con~truction '7'),
Project No. 9803
DISCUSSION
The Public Hearing for Curve Crest Boulevard Street Rehabilitation and Sidewalk
Construction is scheduled for February 17. I have attached a copy of the feasibility report,
the Public Hearing Notice, and the letter sent to the affected properties that accompanied
the notice.
The feasibility report presented the cost for rehabilitation of Curve Crest Boulevard and
for the installation a six- foot concrete sidewalk on the north side of the street. As a
follow up to the January 20th meeting, staff was asked by Council to look into the cost
for a bituminous trail along the same route, A bituminous trail would be constructed in
the same location as the sidewalk, be eight feet wide and located seven feet from the edge
of Curve Crest. This option would also require easements from affected properties.
Properties would be assessed 50% of the project with State Aid funding the remaining
portion. The table below compares the two costs, including easement costs, for the
concrete sidewalk and bituminous trail option:
Segment
Greeley to W. Orleans
Greeley to Washington
Sidewalkl Assessme-ntl- Bituminous trail I Assessment I
Construction (per LF) construction (per LF)
$173,000
$320,413
$61.96
$46.73
$l60,388
$288,665
$57.44
$42.10
The benefit of a sidewalk option would be a longer service life with minimal
maintenance, while a bituminous trail would be easier to match existing terrain. Past city
policy has been to have the property owner maintain a concrete sidewalk, while the City
is responsible for the maintenance of a bituminous trail.
To date, we have received one phone call from Schoonover Bodyworks concerning the
proposed assessment costs, They plan on attending the meeting on Tuesday night. This
past Wednesday, Steve Russell and I met with representatives offive properties in the
Industrial Park to gather their input concerning plans for a walkway along Curve Crest.
Although there didn't appear to be any opposition to a walkway. some comments and
issues were brought up and are listed below:
o The walkway as proposed would dead end at Washington Avenue, why not explore
extending the walkway to Market Drive at the same time?
o Why not get more involvement in the project from the affected properties?
o Who will be responsIble for maintallling the trail once constructed?
o If this walkway is for community use, why are properties on the north side only
assessed?
o Does the city need to have the area studied for the need of a walkway along Curve
Crest Boulevard?
As you can see many issues were brought up pertaining to the construction of the trail or
sidewalk along Curve Crest. If the city were to proceed with the project as planned by
combining this project with the First Street Reconstruction Project, easements for the trail
or sidewalk probably will not be obtained in time prior to the start of construction which
would be required in order to receive State Aid Funding. A more likely option would be
to combine the street rehabilitation portion of Curve Crest and with the First Street
Project and have a separate improvement project for the construction of a sidewalk or
trail. This would give staff more time to look into these issues and possibly from a task
group with Industrial Park properties for trail system options on Curve Crest Boulevard.
It is possible for a trail improvement to be completed this year.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council hold the required Public Hearing and consider the
sidewalk or trail option as a separate improvement from the street rehabilitation portion
of the project. Also, council should consider looking into forming a task group with
properties along Curve Crest to gather more input for a walkway along Crest Boulevard.
If we proceed with the street rehabilitation for Curve Crest Boulevard, the project costs
are estimated at $2l9,400 with a lineal foot assessment of$32.47. City council should
consider the proposed assessment rates for the street rehabilitation, and if Council desires,
pass a resolution directing the engineer to prepare plans and specifications for the street
rehabilitation of Curve Crest Boulevard,

RE:
Feasibility Report for Curve Crest Boulevard Street Rehabilitation
and Sidewalk Construction
Project No. 9803
DISCUSSION
Curve Crest Boulevard, from Greeley Street to W ashington Avenue, was built in 1977 as
a minor arterial street to serve the Stillwater Industrial Park, The street was constructed
has four lanes of travel, separated by a four-foot wide median with left turn lanes. The
street was constructed with seven inches of bituminous to handle the large amount of
future traffic, In 1990, the street was rated and given a very high rating in the Pavement
Management Study and only required routine maintenance, Since the study, Curve Crest
Boulevard has seen its average daily traffic increase significantly from 1200 vehicles per
day III 1990 to 7500 vehicles per day in 1997. Although, the curb and gutter section
remains in relatively good condition, the actual surface area has numerous patched
sections and several transverse cracks, creating a rough drive for commuters. Curve
Crest Boulevard has not had any type of major repair work since being constructed in the
late 1970' s and is in need of a major surface restoration,
.
At the time Curve Crest Boulevard was constructed, sidewalk installation was not
included as part of the project. This may be due to the width of the boulevard after the
street \vas constructed. Curve Crest from Washington A venue to Industrial Boulevard has
a right-of-way width of 80 feet and a street width of 68 feet. The remaining portion of
Curve Crest from Industrial Boulevard to Greeley Street has a right-of-way width of 70
feet \vith a street width of 56 feet, This leaves approximately six to seven feet of
boulevard on both sides of the street for private utilities, street lighting and sidewalk
construction.
The existing sidewalk system for the Industrial Park Area consists of a five-foot concrete
sidewalk on the north side ofW. Orleans from Curve Crest Boulevard to County Road 5.
This sidewalk links up to the sidewalk on Market Drive that leads into Stillwater
Marketplace. A sidewalk also exists on Greeley Street that heads north from Curve Crest
all the up to Myrtle Street.
.
PROPOSED PROJECT AND COSTS
STREET RESURFACING
.
A major surface restoration for Curve Crest Boulevard would involve milling
approximately 3" of the bituminous surface and overlaying the street with 3" of a
Bituminous Wear Course. Some minor storm sewer work will be done at Schonoover
Bodyworks to correct the pooling of water. After the overlay is complete, the street will
be striped with epoxy paint. The total cost for an overlay project for Curve Crest
Boulevard from Greeley to Washington is estimated at $219,400.00, which includes
engineering, administration, and construction.
SlDEW ALK CONSTRUCTION
For this report, it is proposed that a six-foot concrete sidewalk be installed along Curve
Crest Boulevard (this is the required width for commercial areas as stated in the
Stillwater Subdivision Code, adopted February 18, 1997) and that the sidewalk be located
ten feet behind the curb. This \vould keep the sidewalk accessible in the wintertime when
the boulevard area is used for snow storage. The sidewalk would be four inches of
concrete on four inches of sand. If a six-foot sidewalk is installed with a ten-foot
boulevard, construction would take place on private property, permanent and temporary
easements would be required from all affected property owners,
.
Two options will be discussed for sidewalk construction along Curve Crest Avenue. The
t1rst option would have sidewalk constructed from Greeley Street to West Orleans Street,
while the second option would have a trail constructed from Greeley Street to
\\'ashington Avenue, Both options would have the sidewalk installed on the north side of
Curve Crest Boulevard.
A. new sidewalk from Greeley to W. Orleans would provide an important link to a
sidewalk system in the City of Stillwater. A sidewalk for this segment would connect the
southwest area of the city through the industrial park to Lily Lake. This sidewalk would
be approximately 1400 feet in length. Construction of the trail would be relatively easy
until you reach the west end near W. Orleans Street. The existing slope of the ground
along the last 500 feet would make it difficult to construct the trail at grade. A retaining
wall with a maximum height of five feet would be required in order to install the
sidewalk. The location of the sidewalk may have to be installed closer to the street to
minimize the amount of excavation in order to construct the wall. Moving the sidewalk
closer to the street may pose a problem for snow storage in the wintertime, Other work
included for of this sidewalk installation of pedestrian ramps, tree transplanting, and
boulevard restoration, The total cost for sidewalk construction from Greeley to Orleans is
estimated at $13l ,000.00, which includes engineering, administration, and construction
but does not include any cost for the acquisition of permanent and temporary easements.
The second option is to construct a sidewalk from Greeley Street to Washington Avenue,
In addition to connecting into the sidewalk system on Orleans, this sidewalk would
provide access to the remaining properties on Curve Crest Boulevard. However, if the
. City were looking to extend the sidewalk west of Washington Avenue in the future, it
would be extremely difficult to construct a sidewalk at Brine's. Reconstruction of Brine' s
parking lot and a retaining wall would have to be built in order to construct a sidewalk.
This would be a costly project for one section of sidewalk,
The segment from W. Orleans to Washington Avenue would be an additional 2400 feet
of sidewalk construction to the portion from Greeley to W. Orleans. For the most part
construction of this trail would be relatively easy until you reach the west end of Curve
Crest near Washington Avenue. A retaining wall of approximately 300 feet will be
required, from Washington Avenue to the east, because of the difference in elevation
between the curb and the parking lots, Midwest Professional Building has constructed a
small detention area for storm water in front of their parking lot that would be in conflict
with any sidewalk construction. Snow storage may be become a problem with businesses
along the west end of Curve Crest. The north edge of the sidewalk would be located
seven feet from the edge of their parking lots and could take away their snow storage
area. The cost to install sidewalk from W. Orleans to Washington Avenue would be an
additional $87,413 which includes engineering, administration, and construction and
does not include any cost for the acquisition of permanent and temporary easements.
As noted above, a ten-foot permanent easement will be needed form all property owners
on the north side of Curve Crest Boulevard in order to construct the sidewalk. It is
estimated that we could pay $3.00 per square feet of land needed in order to maintain a
ten-foot boulevard with a six-foot sidewalk. This 'would be an additional $42,000 for the
segment between Greeley and W. Orleans and $60,000 for the segment between W.
Orleans and Washington Avenue for a total of$102,000 in easement costs.
The following table below shows a summary of sidewalk costs for Curve Crest
Boulevard:
SIDEWALK EASEMENT SEGMENT
SEGMENT CONSTRUCTION COSTS COSTS
Greeley to W. Orleans $131,000.00 $42,000,00 $173,000.00
W. Orleans to Washington $87,413.00 $60,000.00 $147,413.00
TOTAL $218,413.00 $102,000.00 $320,413.00
Total cost of sidewalk on Curve Crest from Greeley to Washington including easement
costs amount to $320,4l3,OO,
PROJECT FINANCING,
STREET RESURFACING.
The total cost to resurface Curve Crest Boulevard amounts to $2l9,400.00, According to
the Assessment Policy, all properties within the industrial park shall be assessed lOO% of
all costs associated with a partial street reconstruction. Properties would be assessed on
the basis of front footage on Curve Crest Boulevard. There is 6758 feet of frontage on
Cur\'e Crest Boulevard, which results in a frontal footage assessment of$32.47 per foot.

Property Owner
Subject: PublIc Hearing on Curve Crest Boulevard Street RehabllitatlOn and SIdewalk
Improvement - Project 9803
Dear Property Owner:
Attached you wIll find a PublIc Heanng Notice offiCIally notIfymg you of the PublIc
Hearing scheduled for February 17th for the purpose of dIscussmg possIble street
rehabIlItation and sIdewalk construction of Curve Crest Boulevard form Greeley Street to
WashIngton Avenue If approved by the CIty CounCIl, thIS project would be desIgned thIs
winter and constructed this summer
The CIty has completed a FeasIbIlity Report, whIch dIscussed the Improvements, the cost
and financmg methods Curve Crest Boulevard was constructed m the late 1970's, to
serve as an arterial street for the Industnal Park Smce 1990, daily traffic on Curve Crest
Boulevard has increased nearly 400 percent, from 1200 vehIcles per day to 5700 vehIcles
per day The increase m traffic, combined with other factors such as weather, and time
has caused the road to slowly detenorate and IS m need of a surface rehabIlItation
.
The scope of the project would mvolve milling the top 3" ofbItummous and installmg
new bitummous over the mIlled sectIon After the new bItummous is m place, the street
would be stnped With an epoxy pamt. EstImated costs to rehabIlItate Curve Crest
Boulevard amount to $219,400 00
Also included as part of this project, the city is lookmg mto the possIbIlIty of constructmg
a traIl on the north SIde of Curve Crest Boulevard The CIty has receIved numerous
requests for a traIl along Curve Crest Boulevard to serve the Industrial Park, Stillwater
Market Place and the future Sports Complex. The traIl would be constructed of concrete
and located ten feet from the edge of street In order to construct the traIl at this location,
easements would be required from all affected property owners. EstImated cost for a
concrete sidewalk would be $320,413, which mcludes the costs for easement acqUlsItIon
According to the CIty of Stillwater Assessment PolIcy, benefited properties in the
Industrial Park are assessed 100% for the cost of the street rehabIlitation or $3247 per
lIneal foot of frontage along Curve Crest Boulevard SIdewalks are assessed at 50% of
the project costs or approxImately $46 73 per lmeal foot of frontage for the propertIes on
the north side of Curve Crest ThIS amount could decrease dependmg on easement
acquisItion costs.

SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION
SIdewalk Improvements are based on frontal footage for benefited propertIes and are
assessed at 50 % of the of the total sIdewalk costs Smce sIdewalk IS only bemg proposed
on one sIde of Curve Crest, the north sIde wIll be assessed as the benefited propertIes
Two optIons have been presented for sIdewalk constructIon on Curve Crest Boulevard 1)
Greeley to Orleans and 2) Greeley to Washmgton the table below sho\\s the assessment
rate per hneal foot for each segment

$86,500 00
$160,20700
U smg these assessment rates, sIdewalk assessments could be nearly t\\ Ice the amount of
the assessment for the street overlay For an example, the property wIth the most frontage
would have a street assessment of $20,229 and a SIdewalk assessment of $38,600 or
529.110 dependmg on WhICh SIdewalk optIOn IS chosen The remammg portIon of the
project would be funded through the CIty revenues or through the state Curve Crest
Boulevard IS deSIgnated as a MunICIpal State AId Street, and the City IS ehgIble to
receIve fundmg for a SIdewalk Improvement
CONCLUSION
Curve Crest Boulevard was constructed over 20 years ago and has receIved yearly routme
mamtenance The street surface IS slowly detenoratmg and IS m need of a major
resurfacmg project The cost of the resurfacmg project IS estImated at S219,400 The
resurfacmg project IS both financially and techmcally feasIble WIth all costs to be
assessed to the property owners on Curve Crest Boulevard
SIdewalks are a VItal hnk wIthm a commumty StIllwater Industnal Park and southwest
area are hnked With an adequate SIdewalk on W Orleans A SIdewalk extensIOn from W
Orleans to Greeley would provIde a hnk from the southwest area to downtown area
FeasIbIhty of the SIdewalk constructIOn on Curve Crest Boulevard may depend on the
cooperatIOn of the affected property owners who wIll have to gIve the CIty a permanent
easement CounCIl should proceed wIth the project as planned and should receIve mput
from the property owners at the pubhc heanng WhICh would be scheduled at the second
meetmg m February
It \\ould be beneficIal to the CIty to comb me thIS project wIth the reconstructIOn of FIrst
Street m order to receIve better quotes from Contractor's If the CIty needs to obtam
easements thIS may put combmmg the two projects m Jeopardy Also. If State AId funds
are to be used the CIty wIll have to comply With all State AId regulatIOns

CIty CouncIl
RE Proposed Sidewalk on Curve Crest
Dear CouncIl Members,
I am writing m regards to the proposed "sIdewalk" / ''tratl'' you are considering for Curve Crest
Blvd There are underlying Issues that have not been brought out m pubhc that I think you should
consider
FIrst of all, I was asked by the city several years ago if I would support a trail in the Industrial
Parkway, which would probably be most utilized by employees of the area businesses on their
lunch hours I said that I would support such a project
However, I cannot support a sidewalk estimated at $320,413 The major question I have, as do
other busmess owners who met at my club last week with Shawn Sanders, is what IS the dnVlng
force behmd this project? If it is to connect to the existing SIdewalk as a traIl, the same thmg can
be accomphshed with wood chips ~eedless to say, this would save over $300,000 plus This
serves the purpose of a trail for area employees
.
If It IS for any other reason, then I thmk it should be explamed to the affected property owners
what that reason really is I dare say that no one is going to be walking to the Courage Center,
Stillwater Medical Group, LakeVlew Hospital's property, Schoonover Auto Body or the
Stillwater Vet from Greeley Street Those busmess owners were m concurrence With that at our
meetmg So there is no benefit for them to have a SIdewalk, as the city contends
I suspect there is an ulterior motive for the sidewalk, possibly to accommodate the handIcapped
resIdents m the ASI buIldmg next to Courage Center It has been mentioned that they have been
seen m wheelcharrs gomg down to Cub Foods to shop If that is the real reason for the sidewalk,
why does it stop at Washmgton Ave?? Anyone walking (or wheeling) will have to go back m the
street to get to the grocery store complex
As It stands now, all the stretch of proposed sidewalk (or traIl) does IS connect an eXlstmg
Sidewalk that connects Washington Ave WIth the development behmd Courage Center It WIll not
move traffic anywhere except in a big crrcle As I stated above, the affected property owners
have stated that therr busmess are not the type that anyone WIll walk to
So If the reason for the proposed SIdewalk is to accommodate the ASI residents, then you have a
responslblhty to adInlt that in a pubhc meetmg And tfthat is true, then you have a responsibIlIty
. to complete the sidewalk beyond Washmgton, to the shoppmg center district And m case you're
not aware, the city owns the property on the North side of Curve Crest after Bnnes, which means
you will be an affected property owner as well .
My vote IS for gomg back to the onginalldea of a wood chip traIl for area employees Banng
that, take the sidewalk down to Cub and have the city kick m money
I hope you take the above comments mto consideration when makmg your decIsion
Smcerely,
